following:
The damages snstsinrd by he Terre
Haute, Alien aid ST. Louis Railroad, our
important connecting road on the West,
by the freshets at the beginning of the year
seriously affected the business of both
roads. We arc satisfied that the improved
condition aud now energetic management
Of that road, will tend to the increase Of
the business of both. the coming year.
Our revenue has also been somewhat de-
creased. ia consequence OF the State Fair

il been he'd as formerly, al Indianspolis,
the capital of the State. our revenue would
have been several thousand dollars more.
We, have in connection with the "West-
ern Union Telegraph Company" erected
at cost us Of twelve hundred and sev
enteen dollars and eighty cents, a telegraph
along the line Of the road, which furnish
es US all the facilities Of this great agent in
railway operations. The few week

monslrated its utility in expediting the
business of the road.
Jointly with the Louisville. New AL
bany and Chicago Railroad, there has been
erected at the crossing Of that road with
ours, a freight and passenger depot. am
ply large accommodate the increasing traf-
I fc between the two roads.
For the sum of ten thousand dollars, we
have purchased about five acres OF land
adjoining the depot grounds at Terre Haute

The relsying tho road with new ties has
been completed: one hundred tons Of new
rails have been laid, and a new coat Of bal

completed We have also built two sddi.
Of water on the line Of the road ample. A
new side track has been laid at Stauntoo,
for the accom- mediation of the coal business;
also Que al Greencastle, for the convenience
Of loading stock. The fencing has been
