Lnox & Lincoln Railroad.

LmOX ~ Lincoln Railroad.
BATH, March 1.-THE annual meeting of the
stockholders of the Knox & Lincoln Railroad
was held in this city to-day. The directors
submitted their annual report which was ac-
cepted. By that report it appears that for the
sixteen months the gross earnings were $780,
S20.27. The operating expenses for the same
time were $95, 1872. Net earnings $91. OS2. 15
For the year 1872 the net earnings were SOL
20292, and for 1873, ST. ,S99.51. Increase for
1873 over 1872, 5000 SO or little over forty
per cent. There has been no loss of life or in
jury to any passenger or employe on the re ad
during the sixteen months. The great regular
ity with which trains have been run and with
very light losses is due largely to the prompt
ness and efficiency of Supt Coombs and the
employees of the road.
The following gentlemen were reelected a
board of directors for the ensuing year: Oliver
Moses, Bath; Edward Sewall, Bath; Henry In
gals, Wscasset; Edwin Flye, New Castle; d,
w. Chapman, Damariscotta; Jos. Clark, Wal
doboro Edmund Wilson. Thomaston; Francis

A CORRECTION.

EDITOR HERALD: / see In your ar
ticle entitled Trapped" published in
yesterday mornings HERALD, a state
ment that while in performance of my
late duties as Health Officer, I laid
before the City Council collection of
shells, perriwinkles, ETC., taken from q
pipe of the Los Angeles City Water
Works. l deem it due to myself, as
well as the City Water Company, to
shells, etc., was handed me by u gen.
tleman living in the southwestern por-
tion of the city, who stated that it was
taken from the pipe at his residence;
that this collection was incidentally
and privately shown to few individ-
uals, among them two or three men,
bers of the Council, and left for short
time at the Mayors office, but was
not officially laid before the Council,
for the reason that immediately in
vestigated the cause of complaint, ex.
amining carefully the condition of the
reservoir, the system of supply and
the relief of the pipes at the extremi-
ties of the system, and found nothing
to justify me in reporting the case to
the Council AT that particular time
the company were laying new pipes
in that part of the city and unavoida-
bly, interfered with the free flow OF
water through the already established
pipes. This, to me, accounted for the
unusual accumulation of shells, etc.,
. there. Afterwards / heard no special
complaint concerning the water.
The reservoir / found in excellent
condition, located in gulch at an al
most inaccessible point, carefully
guarded by a man employed by the
company, who, with his family, reside
but few yards distant. Neither was
stock allowed to frequent the place, nor
boys to bathe in it. The water in the
reservoir was kept fresh and always In
motion by constant supply from the
river and springs above and an escape
pipe at the bottom always regulating
the depth to about twenty-five feet
The water supplying the city, before
entering the pipes, had to pass through
a system of fine screens, so that nc
living animal of any size or Other
matter than unavoidable sediment,
could gain admittance into the pipes
In view of all these facts, l had no oc.
casion to report direliction Of duty on
the part of the Water Company to the
Council otherwise, ,itwould have beer
promptly done.

SAN FRANCISCO, October 22nd.--
The weather to-day is cloudy and
cool, with prospect of more rain be-
fore night. The storm last night did
not interfere with work on the Palace
Hotel.
1T is feared in sporting circles that
the race announced to come off to-day
at the Bay District Park will have to
be postponed. With the exception OF
Foster, an Oregon horse, no other en-
tries for the great SOS, 900 running race
have been announced.
The trial of Corbet, for the murder
of ]. H. Flemming, was ed
to-day in the Twelfth District Court.
Complications arising out of the
failure of Morgan's Sons are becoming
more serious daily. There are many
farmers in the city who desire to
know how much they can save and how
mnch they have lost. The represent
ative of the firm remains extremely
reticent. The probable real extent OF
Its obligations is not yet fairly known
in any quarter outside of the firm
itself. The failure continues to be the
absorbing topic in mercantile and
commercial circles.

Demand for Alden Raisins.

Last evening, Mr.. GEO. B. DAVIS,
proprietor of the Alden Fruit Drying
Factory in this city, received letter
from. General DEITzLER, President of
the California Alden Fruit Drying
Company, in which the General says
the local demand for the Alden manu-
factured raisin more than equals the
supply. There are now, we believe,
fifteen of these evaporators in opera
ton In this State, turning out an aver
age OF one ton each of raisins per day,
yet the San Francisco market is not
supplied. General DEITzLER writes
that they have daily orders from the
East for the Alden raisins, but not a
single order has been filled up to this
time, nor is it probable any consider
able quantity of those raisins will be
sent across the continent before the
opening Of next season. This speaks
volumes for the Alden process, and is
very encouraging to the grape growers
of the State In general and to those of
Los Angeles valley In particular. The
finest grapes Of all qualities are grown
here, and in quantities so abundant as

The Express" SANDERS the City.

The EpSisiRg Express is fearful that
the HERALD's statements concern
ing the condition of the Wat
er Company's reservoir, will in
jure the reputation of our city abroad.
We do not think it will, because as
soon as the discovery was made that
its informant had mistaken an old
and unused reservoir for the one out
of which the company Is supplying
the city's water, the HERALD with its
usual candor and frankness, and in ac-
cordance with its wish to do no one
an Injustice, corrected the error and
explained the mistake. In the case
of the HERALD the correction follows
the statement. The Express pursues
different policy. In malicious,
vicious, though impotent attempt to
injure respectable citizen whose
only fault Is that he is not the rings,
and consequently not the Express
candidate for Mayor, the unscrupu-
lOus llbtlc tTiulLnSlj lntt - SOilClCOuS
for the city's reputation abroad, as
serted that the scarlctina was filling
our cemeteries with the graves of
little children. The statement was q
fabrication almost without the
shadow of foundation-and was de-
nounced as false by nearly every ply
sician in the city. But the Express
has shown itself wanting in
the manhood to correct its-misstate-
ment-and our exchanges contain nu-
merous paragraphs warning parents
not to visit Los Angeles, as the Express
says the town is full of unabated
nuisances, and in consequence the
scarletina is an epidemic among the
children. There is no doubt but that
our little cotemporary is very solicit
tous about the reputation of the city
abroad.

LETTER FROM COMPTON.

EDITOR HERALD: Your numerous
readers are doubtless anxious by this
time to hear something more from
Compton. Well, we can report pro-
gress from this locality. Since my
last, several fine flowing wells have
been obtained in this neighborhood,
and others are under way. Some
lands have changed hands at fair
prices, and considerable improvement
in the way of houses and barns is no.
ticeable among the farmers; also a
much-needed change is being made at
the depot. The building heretofore
used for that purpose has been moved
to the othes side of the railroad track,
and enlarged and fixed up generally,
in quite commodious style. Farm
ers have already commenced gather
ing the corn crop, which promises a
good yield, in some instances more
than one hundred bushels to the acre.
The next two months will be very
busy season for the farmers of this To-
eality.
Our Lyceum has been re-organized
and is now in successful operation.
We meet every Friday evening at 7
o'clock in the school-house, which is
generally Well filed. The nextquestion
for discussion is, "ResoiUed, That real
estate aloue should be taxed" so
those large land owners who have not
been paying their just proportion of
taxes had better look sharp
Our new preacher has arrived, and
so far gives very general satisfaction
We hope he will be successful in rails
ing the standard of morals among the
Comptonians. 1r-r.
Under the head of improvements, we
forgot to state that Mr.. Bice, former
ly OF Monterey county, was married
to Miss Sarah Ann Rogers of Comp
ton. The ceremony was performed
by Rev. M. NJ. Bovard, Pastor of this
charge, who holds himself in readiness
to perform like services for all W ho may
wish to take the "chances'' of such q
change;

More Railroad.

In addition to the railroad extern
sions already enumerated which the
visit of Messrs. CRocKER and Cotton
have rendered certain in this part Of
the State, we have now to add the
probable extension of the Anaheim
branch some eight or ten mile beyond
the town of Anaheim. We are not
informed of the fact, but suspect that
the Anaheim branch will continue on
beyond its present terminus until it
strikes the water. If this track Is ex-
tended South of Anaheim, it will give
to the valley road nearly forty miles
In length, running through one of the
richest sections of country that ever
felt a plowshare-a country of mann
moth vegetable products and a soil
that time cannot wear out.

Judge woKean and the " Herald Cannon
not yet Arrested.

SALT LAKE CITY, October l9th.-On
Sunday morning the Salt Lake Her.
aid published:an item fromlthe Virginia
New Independent, which, comment
ing upon the charge of Judge Mexican
to the Grand Jury to look after the
disposal of vast tracts of lands and
vast forests of timber by the Territor-
ial Legislature says: "What will be
done with them after they have been
inquired into we do not know, unless,
indeed, with the accommodating spirit
for which the Chief Justice of Utah is
SO remarkable, he appropriates them
to his own use and profit, as he did
the Silver Shield and couple of other
mines" This morning the Chief
Justice called the Grand Jury into the
Courtroom and read this item to
them, which he called upon them to
investigate, and if found to be false,
to indict the editors of the Herald for
libel.
George @. Cannon is out upon the
streets to-day, and shows no DISPOSE
tion to run away. If he has been in
dicted for lascivious cohabitation,u
as was telegraphed from here several
days ago, the officers seem to be dila-
tory in making any arrest. r. n.

money each week. BY the time he

BEAUDRY will have paid out four or
five thousand dollars and increased
the taxable property of the city at

THE Illinois Changers are curious to
know what has become of the $3.50, 600
that accumulated at the headquarters
Of the National Grange in Washing
ton during the past two years. The
money is the amount paid for dispen-
sations, at SIS each, for the establish
ment of subordinate Oranges. The
person in whose hands the money
Z was placed a Mr.. KELLY, Patron
was regarded as safe; but it is now
suspected that he has invested the
whole amount on his own account,
and it Is feared that he has so manag-
ed it that but little if any of the money
will be recovered. The report is not
confirmed, and 1t is possible that the
case IL not as bad as dame rumor
paints it.
