SOME SEVERE BLOWS Events of much importance to the future of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com- pany are expected to occur within the next few days, and upon the outcome will de- pend to a great extent, It is belleved, the question as to whether, despite the extreme measures talen, the B. and O. system can be maintained in its entirety, as is so earn- estly desired by all the large holders of the company’s securities. The annual meeting of the stockholders | of thesCentral Ohio Railroad Company, Which took place this week at Columbus, Ohio, developed the fact that there was widespread dissatisfaction on account of the fact, as previously stated in The Star, that the B. and O. at the time it went into the hands of receivers was debtor to the Central Ohio not only to the extent of $700,- 600, which the former owed to the latter by reason of the B. and O. acting as the bank- er for the other, but tnat the rental of per cent has been overdue for some time past Mthe committee appointed by the Central Chio stockholders to confer with the i. and O. receivers in reference to the matter are expected to have a preliminary meeting for the purpose of settling upon a plan of pro- lure. It is believed in circles that are ally yell informed that some sort of an mAM@ will be reached without une delay, and that the amount overdy essary] for rental will be paid, and that such cou- pons as may be in default will be redeemed Belt Line Bonds. A similar course was adopted a few days ago in regard to the overdue coupons of the | Baltimore Belt Line bonds, and they are now being purchased by a Baltitnore bank- ing house for a New York concern, said to be the firm of J.
