The annual meeting OF the stockholders Of
the Richmond and Petersburg Railroad
Company was held in the company's Office
at noon yesterday.
The meeting was called to order by Mr..
II. H. Eiiyson, and on his motion Mr..
Charles Ellis was invited to preside and Mr..
n. ". Warrington to act as secretary.
a quorum was present.
PRESIDENTS REPORT.
The annual report OF the President was
presented, as follows:
To the Stockholders of the Richmond and
Petersburg Railroad Company:
On behalf of the Board OF Directors sub.
nit the following statement of the business
OF the company for the fiscal year ending
30th September last:
1877. 1878.
Gross receipts. % sl4O,oes 90
hsPsnssS s5aordnarg.. H55.s @na s9s44 ss 77515 90
rn.er ct zlSs5 zIS55 & fsS fzssS
Ne; rcvenue..... s25,75O 63 s44s22 81
This is very satisfactory result, espe-
ciaiiy considering the great loss Of receipts
from the partial stoppage Of the Clover-Hill
coal mines. For instance, comparison Of
the past year with the year 1870, the re-
ceipts Of which were the largest since the
war, is as follows:
Zine. line. ' $4,000 &C s1so,e45 IS
Ciovei-Hill railroad
Total receipts. sl7o,69s SO sl4o,oes 90
It will be seen from this that the receipts
from the general business OF the main line
were greater last year than the best year in
the flush times before the panic.
Since lust report q dividend OF four per
cent on the capital stock has been paid. and
the current business Of the road promises a
steady semi-annual dividend. The usual
dividend OF two per cent. has been declared,
payable 1st January next. r
The condition OF ihe road and property
is excellent. New steel rails largely in ex-
cess OF the annual wear have been laid i'll
the track. The bridges, all Of which are OF
wood, are strong and safe. Experience
proves that the old.fashioned wooden
bridges are much safer than the more grace
full iron structures now so popular, and
with proper protection and repair they are
everlasting.
The finances OF the company are satisfac-
tory. The new consolidated seven-per-cent.
bonds can be sold at par to meet the ma
turing eight-per-cent. first mortgage, which
begin to fall due in 1880.
Your attention is called to the table OF
new rails annually laid in the track for the
past thirteen years, and the table showing
the debt. and gross and net revenue yearly
for ten years. The equipment Of the road
is complete, and the supplies and machinery
department fully equal to the wants OF the
business. No accident to persons, passen-
gers, or servants of the road, has occurred
during the year. The report OF the super
intendent gives in detail the work done on
the road, and it's present condition. The
treasurer's report exhibits the financial
ondition, with inventories OF equipment
and supplies. All the officers Of the COM
pany have discharged their duties. faith.
fully and satisfactorily. ....-r,....s1 ,
Respectfully, ,'.....- -L..a..

A ROUND UP.

Some of our readers may not know what
a roundup means. Tho Pueblo Chieftain
..round-up' a fellow journalist, whom we
know. as follows:
Capt. Howard X. Hetrick called on the
Chieftain yesterday, He Is one Of the best
writers and reporters in the western com
try, and has filled the position of city ed>
itor on more papers than any other man
between Chicago ard San Francisco. but
he never knew " hat hound up meant and
asked us 80 explain the phrase. We told
INN to Just imagine himself Texas steer
running wild on the prairie. and then inn
agine q cow-puDcher on q brouchO chasing
bi,c till he got hun into corral or drove
of other prOmiscuOus cattle, and then i'm
aRine some fellow with a sharp eye for Ma
yoricks slapping q branding iron on his
side or hip, and then the broncho chasing
him out of that herd into another herd
belonging on the range of tie cov>puncheI
with the branding iron, and then he would
know what was meant by 'Iound-up.
He saw the force OF the illustration and
said he would rather go on . different sort
of roundup with the bows and be branded
| in some other manner. He prefers brandy
and water in his round ups.
