The reaction from the effects of the large amount of opium which she had taken tc sustain hor during her ordeal had set in, and she was a nervous wreck. Another notice able thing was the absence of all the acton who have hitherto played so import* it a part in this domestic drama, as neither Mr. Hamilton, Edward Vollmer, Mrs. Rupp, th* proprietress of Noll cottage, or Nurse Donnelly put in au appearance.

Mr. Villard disclaimed any disrespect for the board and said he would withdraw the publication. The directors then adopted an official request for proxies and a detailed statement of the purposes of the new bonds. These differ considerably from those named by Mr. Villard. For instance, only $10,000,000 is allowed for premiums on bonds, and the amount set aside for dividends on preferred stock is left open for the consideration of a special committee. It is, in fact, an open question whether the preferred stockholders wUl get anything. The directors said after adjournment that it would require complete unity in the board to obtain the required three-fourths vote of the preferred stockholders in favor of the new mortgage.
