Regarding the Midland railway Crawford's line, which ruoe through Nsw Ross and Ladoga, a late aumber of. the IndlaoBpolia News nyi

There ie a report that Thomas Ci Platt, the New .York politician nod railroad financier, has his sye on the Chicago & Southeastern, and will try to gather that road In. Years ago Platt wanted to make a railroad manager: of hie eon, and tried it on thie road. The Chicago 4 Southeastern haa been involved in much litigation about material, labor, equipment, texee etc. Total etoppage of ^operating depart* meat through levisis mode upon Ite rolling etock hsve occurred timeand time sgain. At one time an en^he wae chained to the track at Andereon, another at Nobleevilie, a third at Lebsnon, and the foutth waa hidden in the eoal .fields, so the eheriffs could .not get it For over a month the mall wee carried over the road on a hand ear. Receiver shlpe have been aaked often, and the eourte invoked for other relief, fe

In l«76acharter was- grsnted to the Anderson, Lebsnon & St. Louis,., and nineteen miles of the road frw Andereon to Nobleevilie waa opened. In 1878 Jamee A. Larnerd became the rerelver, and operated it tor eeveral yeare. In 1885 It wae eold under forecloeure, snd the Midiand'Railroad Company of in* dlana became the owner. Then It was that Thomae C. Platt invsstsd considerable money in It. |fr, Platt extended the road to Weetfield in l885, and a year latee to Eagletown Then he wae ousted.. Tbe road was extended in 1887 to Lsdogs, sixty-three milee from Aodereop, end futther extenelone were made as far ss Brown's Vslley in 1M8. In November, 1889, the part lying in Montgomery county wae eold at sheriff's sale to L, P. Dickinson, snd sbout this tims Harry Orswford became interacted in the road. Its bonds, 1375,000 5 per eent. payable In gold, were issusd in 1887, snd are due in 1917. It le oovered with a ooneolidated mortgage of .5 per cent, limited to 180,000 a mils psyable^ in gold, ispued in 1801, and due in 1931. The'amount of bonde under thie mortgagewas about 82,000^)00.

The firm of Coffin k. Stanton, of New York, got hold of eome of the bonde and employed a firm of broken of Indianapolis to review the mortgage to ascertain If it could be foreclosed, the firm to be appointed receivers. The broken went to Andereon and read the mortgsge. In drawing it up Crawford bod provided that there muet be a six montns'default of intereet before the bondholders oould begin legsl proceedings. This saeant several years of litigstion, snd Crawford still hss ths rood.
