$50 MILES ARE DONE AND EARNING NOW
ABOVE EXPENSES MORE THAN THE INTER
EST ON THAT PORTION OF THE NOR rGAGED
DEBT, and more than the interest on all the bonds
that can be issued up to date.
The completion OF new road enables us to offer for
sale more of these bonds. No bonds can be issued
on road under construction, and on finished road the
issue is limited to $2O, 100 per mile.
These bonds are desirable an investment for
many reasons, the most prominent of which are:
First: Behind them and terrifying them is a paid
up capital OF nearly s., 100000.
Second Ihe Eoal is new great trunk line
WAYS, and shortening the distance seventy miles-a
very great distance properly considered, and one
Third: The cost OF building the road is twice the
mortgage, and railroad is real estate of perfect
title and i g cd for anything, is always increasing
best character at halt value. The cost of sinoIe
track is about $4,000 per mile; mortgage, 500, 600
Besides in his case the real estate is in existence
Fourth: The Mortgage Bonds on every railroad
running out of New York City are good, and inter
est is promptly paid on them.
Fifth: Tie total interest liability of this great
railway, over four hundred miles in length will be
but $780, 900, Gold per annum alter the whole line
expected, will exceed tits.
A consideration of the gross receipts of the New.
York Contra and Eric Railways will be all that is
necessary we believe, to con vince parties that the
Midland will net, after all expenses, a much larger
sum than its interest debt.
THE RATE OF INTEREST.
These bonds pay seven per cent. in gold, free OF
United States income tax and this with gold at 49,
is equal to over = PER CENT. A YEAR. No
MEST WITH SV OUR Own OWN STATE to be offered
on more liberal terms than these.
THE BONDS.
The bonds have 25 years to run; are issued in de-
nominations of 81 000 bear Seven Per Cent. Inter-
est in gold free OF income tax; Coupon Regis
tered, with interest," payable semi-annualy in New
York, on the LIST of May and 1st OF November.

FATAL Accidentally the breaking away of
the beams which supported the upper floor of
the Boston and Lowell railroad grain elevator
in Boston on Monday forenoon, two men
named Michael Kennedy and John w. Clark
lost their lives. The weakness of the floors
supporting the grain in the third story was
discovered several days ago. and since that
time the weight has been relieved, but not in
time to prevent what it seems was foreseen
accident The bin in which the accident oc-
CURED was the largest in the building, and it
was noticed that the timbers underneath
cracked in the centre; and these snapped off,
letting about 5000 bushels of corn on to the
floor beneath, which, unable to withstand the
augmented weight also gave way, carrying
great quantity of debris TO the first floor and
the cellar. Several men were in the building
ard all escaped except those mentioned. One,
boy, was somewhat injured. They were
smothered to death in the corn. Both OF the
deceased leave families
