A second meeting of the creditors of F. A. Waidner, doing business at Nos. 45 and 47 River stract, was held yosterday. The attendauce was greater thun ot tho meeting of the day provious, aod at frst its tone was more excitel. A gen- eral discussion of the sitaation of affairs was the firat smuscwon:, but notbing new was evolved. Eversbody seemed anxious to got their mouey out of tho concern, but thero was a vaet differenco of opinion as to thhs best way to proceed. Tue question of the day provious, whether tho Numsens, of Balumoro, who aro kuown to bs entirzly responsible, could bo he!d as gencral partuers, seomed to attrsct the most attention : but inagmuch as thoy wera recognized as special pareners by the law of the State, the feeing was that tho matter could oaly be satiled by tho courts. The meeting had agreed the day provi- ous not to accept the offor to pay 25 conts on the dollar, and tho mostiug of yesterday revoked the former agrecmaut to accept 59 couts, Jzbor- ing under the impression that ths concern waa worth a great deal more. The ideaof nling a bill in bankraptey against Waidaer and the Nuwsens waa revived. but, additional lizht hav- ing been received, iz did not prevail, ulthongh 2 wajority of the creditors present voted in favor of the proposition. ‘U'lis troublo was that thote in favor of baukruptey procesdiugs did not ap- pear to represent _enough of the indebtedness. The proposition of Waiduer to turn over by en- tireassets on the condition of bis release, stranze to 8ay. wad scaicely cousiderad, and found hitiie favor from tus fact that tho idea prevailed'that Waiduer could make more out of the assets than any oue eice. Durmg the wmeetng DIr. Waiduer prescnted tho fusiher proposition to pay 20 .cents cash and 10 ceuts in gix aud twelve montls, beering 6 per cent in- terest. ‘L'his was rojected. . Tho meetmg adjourned withoat baving ac- complished anytbing, but soveral membors threatened to uttach the yiroperty of the con- cern during the day. None of tha threats, how- ever, wern exemmted, and ut last advices tao prospect wad that tho allair would be smicably adjusted iu a fow days. N — RAILROAD MATTERS. DOARD OF TRADE COMITTEE.
