Boston AND MAINE RAILRoAD-The annu-
al report of this road states that for the year
ending Sept 3Oth, the gross receipts were ST.
300,093 and the operating expenses were ST.
727 ,S25, making the net earnings $572. 268.
Compared with the previous year, there was an
increase in net income of sos, 152. The expen-
ses last year were large, owing to the severity
of the winter, which was the most severe
known for years. The Miller platform has
been applied to most of the cars, and the all
brake to many of the cars and engines These
Improvements have cost large sum of money.
The passenger and freight business as COM
pared with that of the year previous shows a
net gain of S72,605 passengers and 81 1882 tons
of freight. During the year there has been ad-
ded to the equipment Is new passenger cars,
including three parlor cars; 1 long baggage
car, besides 1T freight cars; l long freight bug
or car, and snow-plow. Also two first class
passenger and four first class switching en-
gines. The road has DOW 120 passenger cars,
including three parlor cars, 1400 freight cars
and 60 locomotives. The road bed and super
structure has been kept in good condition. and
at the present time is believed to be equal to
the best in New England. A new draw has
been constructed in the bridge over Miller's
river, and the bridge over Charles river has
been widened new passenger house has
been built at Reading. and others are to be
built at Dover and Bradford. Passenger and
freight trains are running regularly on the ex-
tension to Portland, which was completed last
December. The connection which was sought
with the Maine Central road at Portland has
not yet been obtained. Smiths wharf in Port
land has been bought at an expense of $780,
600. This property is valuable for purposes of
the road, and the freight receipts have in
creased largely from this connection. For the
year ending Sept 30, 1873, there was expended
on account of the extension in Maine, 81, SOL
293 rs, making the whole amount thus far ex-
pended for that purpose, $3,941 1922 76. A very
large portion of this sum has been spent for
land. For the Improvements in Mystic river
exclusive of the original purchase of land,
there have been expended Sol All 33. The
whole expenditure for the improvement be-
tween North Andover and Bradford has been
500, 50l GA, of which $13, 406 95 was expended
during the past year. The whole length of
road now operated is 1921 miles.

Removal OF The State Capital-A
Voice From Gilmer County.
CHENILLE, GILMER COUNTY, WA,
November 90, 1878,

November ~, 1915,
Editors Register.
1t is predicted that the Legislature
will adjourn sine die about the 9th OF
December, and as yet We have heard
nothing relative to the removal OF the
capitol. Can it be possible that the
Legislature is so blind to the interests
of the State, and the wishes OF its con-
stitueacy, as to let this matter stand
over for the PRESENT. The cry here
tofore has been to let the Capitol re-
main, we will soon have a railroad
running through the State to it by
which it will be accessible and subserve
all the ends that are demanded. The
people have become tired OF such fim-
sy promises and demand that the seat
of government shall be located some
where that It will be accessible and they
can 90 to and from it at pleasure, with
out being compelled to travel over
country roads, muddy pixies, and bride
pathways.
At present we are unable to hear
or know what the Legislature is doing
for weeks at a time, and before long
navigation will be. closed and we will
be cropping in the dark as we were
last winter as to what the law is or is
likely to be, until by chance some way
worn traveller who has become sick
and tired of the city of Charleston and
is vending his way either home or to
some point where he can hear what is
going on in outside world, informs us.
The inducements offered by Wheel
ing for the removal Of
the Capitol to that point
are sufficient and should
by all means be accepted. While
we are not favorable to Wheeling
for a permanent location of the capitol
we believe temporary location OF it
there for five or ten years will meet
with the appreciation of four,fiiths OF
the people of this and the adjoining
counties. When the Legislature met at
Wheeling in years past, we could always
hear and know what was going on, and
we had no trouble 10 visit the capitol at
any time, but at present it is an under
taking that will make the brayest OF
hearts cover to think OF the disadvanta-
ges and sufferings that one has to un-
dergo to reach the capitol.
There are many other and better
reasons for removing the capitol, but as
newspaper correspondence is not my
forte, l will leave the matter to better
and more able advocates, and should
there be doubt on the mind Of our
representatives at Charleston as TO the
wish Of the people Of Gilmer county on
the removal Of the capitol, ! will ven-
ture to say that can furnish them
with q petition from more than three
fonrtbs OF the voters OF the county, favor
ing its immediate and unconditional re-
moval. CITIZEN.

Brutal Mnrdcr in Westnaoreiand
County.
GREEHsBUEG, December "A most
brutal and cold blooded murder was
committed on last Sabbath evening
about s or 9 o'clock, in Franklin town
ship, this county, about two and half
miles west Of Murraysville. A man
named Joseph Carr, a shoemaker,
about sixty years OF age, while sitting
in his shop on that evening, was struck
on the head with q heavy bludgeon,
and his throat cut from ear to ear with
one OF his own shoemaker knives, and
thus killed.
His pockets were rifed Of their con-
tents and he was them left by the mur-
derer. Suspicion rests on young man
named Samuel Beighley, who bad been
working with Carr until the Thursday
previous, Beighley wac found about 3
o'clock on Monday morning sleeping in
the house Of a man named South. The
reason why Beighley was suspected was
because his coat was found in the shoe
makers shop with blood on it. When
he was arrested he had the murdered
mans coat with him. Some S25 in
money, which had been taken from the
deceased, was also found upon his per.
son.
We understand he confessed that he
was one OF two who had committed the
deed that another man, name not
given, had struck Carr Oh the head and
that he, Beighley, had cut his throat,
and be showed the knife to the coroner
with which be had done the deed.
He was brought to Greensburg and
lodged in jail on Monday evening, to
await his trial. Beighley is only about
twenty-one years Of age, and appears
to be as unconcerned as though he had
done nothing very wrong.

TUE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

We have this morning in condensed
form the message transmitted by the
President 10 the Forty-third Congress-
Yesterday. It is q commonplace docu-
nent and fails to excite that degree oi
popular attention that used to attach to
Presidential Messages. In these days
o. the telegraph and of the daily press
the people at large have come to know
almost as much about national affairs
9. the President himself, and hence
that official has nothing particularly
new or startling to communicate to
Congress or to the general public.
The foreign and domestic concerns
O, the government are, by means
Of the present diffusion OF intelhgence'
discussed in every hamlet in the coun-
,ry almost as soon as they are consid-
erel by the heads of departments at
Washington, and the average opinion
ofthe country is very promptly express
eI and very easily understood. For
tbs reason Presidential messages have
ceased 10 attract the attention that
they once elected and have quite failed
% excite the intense popular interest
hat attached to them some twenty
yssEs ago.
In President GRANTS message there is
nothing quite new; nothing that has not
been already discussed before the peo-
ne. Itis to be regretted that the
President lends his aid to several
schemes which the people disapprove,
such as the Postal Savings Bank aud
the Pos,sI Telegraph prof ect. 1t was
ssii bv Mr. GRANT in extenuation OF
an Objectionable passage in a former
message. "MoRToN put that in." In
excuse 10. several palpable errors in the
p-cssa; message it may well be urged
tia; CEGswELL put them in.
We will have occasion hereafter to
note the effect OF the Presidents rec
Concentrations to Congress, and until
then We defer further comment; only
calling attention at this time to the
ts,: that the back pay and increase
o. =a!ary swindle, the one topic that has
been discussed by the people aud which
has produced SO disastrous results
among the Presidents followers,is studls
ous'v ignored by President GRANT, and
20 one could learn from his message TO
Congress that the people OF the country
Aai expressed in emphatic terms their
uawillingnesS to be robbed. The mes
sl.e is remarkable for this omission, if
'o: nothing else.
