Cologne Railway already open to Bonn and Rolandsworththies
being rapidly completed to Coblentz, the line of railway com-

The annual traffic, between these two points considerably
exceeds 1,000,000 passengers and 1,000,000 tons of goods.
The official traffic tables show that, taking only the present
traffic in the Lahn Valley, and one-fourth of the traffic along
the Rhine, the receipts of the Nassau Railway Company will
suffice, on this moderate estimate, to secure a dividend of 15
per cent, to the Shareholders, in consequence of the larger
portion of the capital being supplied in Nassau Government
Guaranteed'Bonds at 4 per cent.
