Pennsylvania RaiE~oGa Report


In accordance with the suggestion OF the
special committee of stockholders appoint
cd ut the last meeting of the board of dir
rectors Of the Pennsylvania railroad That
company publish III advance for the ilfor-
nation of the stockholders the twenty
eighth annual report, which viii be pre-
sented at the annual meeting OF the COM
pany, to be held on March 9Th. The re
port gives the operations of The main line,
is branches and leased roads for the year
1874, and makes very gratifying exhibit.
The gross earnings of all Tie lines east and
west of Pittsburgh during the year were
S,9o2, 938, SoI.26; expenses, incluoing rent
ais, interest, dividends etc. So, 422, 645. %:
not earnings, S23, 525, 105.97. The earn
ings of the main line and its Pennsylvania
branches were $22, 642, 81. 35; expenses,
including rentals, $40, ,7G1, 90; net earn
ings after paying rentals, 50, 396, 924. %
showing a decrease in the net earnings OF
$49, 770.46 as compared with the figures OF
.Le year previous.
The report also gives in detail the opera
tions of the leased roads, the coal compa>
Eies and other interests controlled by The
Company. 1t is noted that the united
railroads and canals Of New Jersey show
vefy gratifying results compared with those
of 1873, they having met every liability
under the lease except S31, 1G1, while in
-sON1tr
70. The report speaks of the general de-
preston in the business Of the country
during the " hole of the past year.
The res ult as shown upon the traffic of
the lines has been diminution i'll the ton
mage of the main road of $50. 372 tons, being
a decrease of s $40 per cent. as compared
with the traffic moved in 1913, and a conse-
quent reduction in revenue. Large reduc-
tions have, however, been made IN the ex-
repSe ,f ma iJfriuir1fr and OternfjDo the
lines, thus enabling the board 20 present
results which they consider very satisfac-
tory.
The report also speaks of the improve
ments made during he year, and says that
it is proposed by the board that the entire
floating iebt of the company shall be pal
off duriiig 1875, by disposing OF securities
that are no longer of value for the purpose
OF controlling the roads by which they were
used. A tabular statement relative to the
line west of Pittsburgh show that the net
result after paying all leases and other rent
ais, interest, liabilities of every nature,
working expenses, etc, is a surplus profit
of sS44, 33S. 43 which sum is more than
seven per cent. on the entire capital stock
of the Pennsylvania Company.
The report makes a mere refcrer ce to the
controversy going on relative to the Balti-
more and Ohio road, and Says that it is
hoped with thorough understanding of
every thing pertaining to the question pro-
per results may be arrived at.
The report concludes by saying that the
board has concluded to adopt, as a general
policv, that 10 further extension of lines
should he made or obligations 3e assumed
by the company, either by lease or other
wise, except to complete the several small
branches and extensions now in progFcss in

pass at the foot OF the hills. they struck
into the mountains, and after picking ttcir
way, reached point within two miles Of
Haucy's peak. In fifteen days from the
date of their entry into the hills, they erect

log cabins from an abundant supply of
timber that they found. The cold weather
greatly impeded their prospecting. They
sunk twenty-five prospect holes and

From the grass to the bed of the rack

Mr. Wjtcher describes parts of the hills

DEATH OF MYSTERIOUS CHARACTER.
Daniel Schock, 50 years old, was found
dead in his room in Cincinnati on FRIDAY
evening last. Though having his home IN
the very heart of the city, he was practically
a hermit Eight months ago he rented
little hovel in the rear of a Fifth street store,
into which be moved his scanty effects, and
thus, hidden in a dirty back yard from all
observation, he lived entirely alone, SEEM
ing to have no amusement or occupation but
smoking his pipe. Promptly on the 2lst OF
each month he paid his rent, took receipt
and said nothing. Last month the 2lst
came on Sunday. The landlord did not
expect him. but when he did not come
on Thursday the landlord went to inquire
what was the nattcr, and found the door
locked on the inside. Entering. he found
the man dead on a cot. lie had been dead
perhaps twenty four hours. From letters
found it appears that ne has brothers and
sisters living in Huntingdon county, Pa.
Promissoiy notes, amounting TO over T2--
500, were found in his trunk, and $40 in
money. The interior of the room was
wretchedly filthy, and the body was covered
with vermin. He is said to have been
man of wealth years ago, who lost hy going
security for others. and becoming morosc,
chose this miserable mode of life. The
hovel was so completely hidden that board
fence had to be broken down to allow the
coffin to be carried out.
