A Reply to the Bill Filed Against S, J. Tilden. 1t Is Olaimed that He Has Dealt Square- + ly with the Alton Road, Record of Judgments and New Sultsee Bankruptcy Matters. Taw Trisowe Sunday published In full a bill filed In the Circuit Court of Cook County a few months ago, by the Chicago & Alton Rallroad Company agalnst Louls H, Meyer, and Samuel J. Tilden. Yesterdoy Meyer filed a voluminous answer of about soyenty-five pages, {n which ho attempts to explain his position and affairs, In the firat place he denics that hie and Tilden were ever Trustces of the bondholders and creditors of the Chleago & Misslssippt Rallroad Company, or that they bought the rond, or that the Chicago & Alton Road was to pay for the Chicago & Misstssippt Road {n Its stocks and bonds, or, in general, that tho allegations of the bill are correct. Accordivg to Mr, Mcyer's view of the case, he and his moro {llustrious colleaguc were ap- pointed Trustees under a deed of trust to se- cura tlie payment of 600 fIrst-mortgago sinking- fund bonds, and woro to receive such sums as might pedeposited with them to redeem such bonds, the bonds to be redeemcd belng se- lected by lot. The Chlcago & Alton Road scnt thef Targe sums for this purpose, and partic- ularly In August; 1875, It remitted $45,000, which was appled to redeeming bonds, an Meyer denles that elther he or Tilden appropri- ated any sum for their own use, - Tho Chicago & Miasissipp! Rallroad Com- Bwy in 1852 mado a mortgage to accuro $2,000, of bonds. In 1853 it Issuedn second morl- %n 0 to secures §2,000,000 more of bonds, and {n 1t lssued o third mortgage to sccure $1,000,« lmofl%;onda. The Chlcup{n Mlsskesipph ‘Rail- road Company aubscquently was metamorphos- e into the Chicago, Alton & 8t. Louls Rallroad Compnny, and then {nto the 8t, Louls, Alton & Chlcago: Railroad Company. in 1357 the last named Company fasued nmollgn(iu an {ts prop- erty to sccurc bonds which were {ssued to take up tha third mortgage of the Chicago & Misalssippl Rallroad Company, and part were 8o exchianged, but with tho right to the holders to agnin exchange back. In Jmuur{, 1860, the debts of the St. Louls, Alton & Chicago lail- road Company smounted to $4,535,000, which it could not pay. Forcclosure suits wera begun, and about Jan. 10, 1800, an :I&lgrcumcut Was made for the sale of the rond undor the decrees, and it purchase by new Trustees for the benc- fit of the bondholders. Soon after, the road was sold under the third mortgage, and bought in by Charles Moran and others ns such Trus- tecs, Bome of the other creditors of tho Com- any, lowever, very unexpectedly redeemed cmLmu sale, and upset the proposed arrange- men Fioally, after much troublo and with preat reluctance, and on the conditfon that Tilden should be assoclated with him, Meyer !fl;! he, In July, 1862, agrecd to hecome one of the six Trusteca above mentloned, commissioncd o buy up the rond at forcclosure sale and orgzanize & ncw corporation, Bubsequently,and in8cptem- ber, 1864, the 8t. Lonis, Alton & Clieago Road was sold under a decreo of court, and bought b{sl{le er and Tildon, as Trustecs, for the sumn o b Tho cfilgago & Alton Rallroad Company.was then Incorporated, and its bonds fssucd to tho holders of the first and second mortgage-bonds of tho Chicago & Mlss{ulgpl Ilnfiruld, the bonds of the latter Company being surrenderod at the samo time. Meyer and Tilden then, in November, 1803, conveyed the road they haa hought to the new corporation. Tho Chi- cago & Alton Hosd ‘then, as part of the purchase-money, made 600 preforred first- morigage sinking-fund-bonds of $1,000 each; 9,100 tiat-mortgag bonda for $1,000 each, 700 ficome_bonds Tor $1,000 each, und 778 State nds for $500 each; also 24,2&0 shares of pre- farred atock and 17,800 of commbn stock of tho: ar value of $100 each, It also fssued 2,100 grnb-mor!gn(;u bonde for $1,000 each, 700 in- como bonds for $1,000 each, aud 778 for $500 each, and 42,000 sharcs of stock. Meyer clalms that he and Tilden have ac- counfed to tho Campn(rhy for all thess bonda and ehares, and have distributed them to the varfons parties entitled to them, s far as could be aacertained,but that owing to the great num- ber of old bondholders, their residenco In for- clgn countries and the fact that all wore requires to pay 6 per cent on the amouat, this work has not yet been com- letod, and even now there arc somo of tho Eomls of the Chlcago & Misalssippl Road still outstanding. No moro securities are now held, as Meyor claims, by him and Tilden than are sufliciont to Eny thess outstanding bonds. In 1804 be ot tired of his trust and offored to sur- render it on belng sccured from lability, but the Chicago & Alton Road refused to indemnify him. In 1873, having {ncurred large expenacs in tho performance of the trust, Meyor says he collected the monoy on seventeen bonds, part of which has been paid out, and the remalnder (ahout $431) Is still In his handa, In conclusion, Meyer u:{o that he and Tllden received and distributed over $7,000,000 of stocks and bonds in the performance of tholr trust; that by their manngewment tho bonds of the Chicago & MIississippl Rond were very largely enhianced (o valuej that o large numbor of suits have becn successfully Alefunded, demandin, much time and clerical’ oxpense, for all of whic] they have only recelved $55,000, They think they are entitled to ot lenst $200,000 additional including attorneya’ foes, and to be dlmlmrgeJ of thelr trust, instead of being called Into a Court of Equity; wherefore Meyer asks that the sult agalnst hiin be dismlissed with costs, THB CUICAGO, DANVILLE & VINCENNES RAIL- 10AD.
