Johns Hopkins' Finances.

BALTIMORE, MD., May 25.- Reports have been current during the last few days to the effect that, owing to the failure of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-road to meet its dividend obligations, Johns Hopkins University is in a bad financial state. Altogether the University holds about $1,350,000 of preferred and common stock of the road. A general meeting of the citizens of Baltimore will be held tomorrow for the purpose of starting a subscription list, with $250,000 in view. Should the Baltimore and Ohio receivers not pay the stock interest due July 1st, it is certain that the university will be embarrassed probably to the extent of $50,000 a year unless outside aid should be forthcoming. It is likely that tomorrow's meeting will result in ample financial assurance for the university trustees.
