GyyrRAI srPERlNrEYDENT's REPORT.

GENERAL SUPERINTENDENT REPORT.
To the President and Board Of Directors :
Gentlemen gross income from
transportation during the year ending 30th
! September, 1881, was S4O6, ,927.57-an in
! crease OF SIG, ,5G6.77. The current expense
for the same period was Sl9S, ,lS6.97-an in
( crease Of S23,544. Not included in this
sum is an expenditure Of SOL ,622.l4, upon
various items which are set forth In the
Treasurer's report, OF which additional
amount S43, ,0S391 has been expended in
\ bettcrments and in equipment, to which an
engine, three coaches, and ten boX-cars
have been added, and much material is on
hand for flats and boX-caTs under way but
not vet completed.
The Broad-street track has been rebuilt
and paved from Eighth street to Brook
avenue, in compliance with the demand OF
the city authorities. This track has been
rented for the time being 10 the Street Rail
way Company.
The remarkable increase in the freight
business is worthy OF attention. 1t Is, OF
course, due TO the cordial cooperation OF
the PENNSYLVANIA Railroad Company and
this company in transporting freights be-
tween northern points and Richmond, I'M
der an arrangement which took effect on
the 1St Of July hast, since which our limit
ed equipment has been severely taxed to
meet the demand upon 1T.
A collision between two freight trains
occurred August 23d near Taylorsville sta
ton. Several freight-cars were wrecked
and two engines, one OF which has bsen
repaired. but the other, an old and small
one, will probably be condemned. No per-
son was seriously hnrt. The total loss by
this disaster will be about twelve thousand
dollars. Ii was brought about by direct
disobedience Of train orders on the part OF
an engineer, and not due to any error or
defect In the orders themselves.
There was no other noteworthy train
accident during the year.
The increase in revenue from through
travel is about II per cent.
The receipts from local passengers have
not diminished, in spite OF the fact that
upon the 18th April last the Board reduced
the charges on this class OF travel from five
cents to three and one third cents per mile.
Tbrough-freight receipts have increased
GO Der cent; local freight, "a per cent and
OF mails, 2l per cent.
The weight OF mails carried has in
creased. and special ltrain carrying through
mails has, at the request OF the Depart
ment. been run since November Both.
The movement in through-passenger
traffic has incr eased Is per cent, in local.
traffic II per cent, in through
inights SO per cent, and in local freights
per cent.
The revenue mileage OF passenger trains
has increased 30 per cent, and that OF
freight trains 40 per cent.
The receipts per passenger mile were
> $50 cents, and the receipts per ton mile
[ .a6 cents.
Respectfully submitted, with aceompa-
,ving fables. Il. +. ID. MYERS,

The MONTE MARIA FAR.-This fair, the
preparations for which began Immediately
on the conclusion OF the Virginia Indus
trial Exposition in the new armory build
ing, corner Of Seventh and Marshall streets,
was opened last night under auspices that
must insure an ample success. The good
nuns in charge OF Monte Maria Academy
OF the Visitation, on Church Hill, are re-
presented by number OF the most promi-
nent ladies OF the Cathedral and St. Pat
rick's church congregations. who show by
their assiduity the deep interest they feel
IN the undertaking. They are ably sec
onded by many Of the younger ladies
OF both churches. The Inauguration
OF the fair last night attracted quite
q number OF visitors, who inspected
with evident pleasure the many articles
Of interest exhibited FOR sale, and partook
OF the good things offered to tempt the ap-
petite t the refreshment tables. Another
pleasing feature last evening was the de-
lightful music discoursed by kessnieh's
orchestra. IL is undoubtedly an excellent
opportunity for spending q pleasant eye-
ming and at the same time 10 aid in good
work. This fair has been devised TO in
crease the means OF usefulness OF the good
Sisters whose lives are devoted 70 educating
the daughters Of our citizens in the walks
that would dignity and adorn womanhood
in its most developed stages. The under
taking deserves TO be encouraged freely and
generously by all good citizens.
The friends OF the First Virginia regiment
should attend the fair numerously, as all
the admission fees go into the regimental
treasury.

spectiye drawing and ground plans Of the
City Hall at Quincy, H., which had heen
sent to him by Mr.. J. 9. McKeon, OF Chi
cago, TO show what had been accomplished
in that city with $780, GOO.
A full discussion OF the subject was in
dulged in, as to what size building, mate
rials of which it should be built, location,
and cost.
On motion OF Mr.. Scott, Messrs. Ellyson
and Williams were appointed committee
to ascertain if the remainder Of the square
Of which the old City-IIaIl lot forms part
could be purchased, and at what price.
Mr.. Pizzini submitted paper, which he

The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1881-06-16
Mr.. Benefits Diamond Ball.

The Vienna Salo,sbLaH has the follow
ing to say about certain well-known
Americans and their doings at Pau, the
fashionable winter resort in the south
of France: James Gordon Bennett, q
very rich American, has settled him
self in the former residence of Henry
VII, and his extravagances, made light
by the ownership Of millions, have not
in any degree damaged Pau. For ex-
ample, Bennett engaged the Vienna
Capelmeister Strauss with his entire
company at an honorarium of 40, 600
francs to come to Pau, where he played
. series of concerts at which all Pau
were guests. Mr.. Mackay, the Ameri-
can nabob, who, with his soirees. cos
tuned balls, ETC., has busted all Paris,
came with his wife to Pau. To honor
them Mr.. Bennett arranged ball, en-
gaging private express trains which
brought from Paris aud other cities,
from the neighborhood of Pen. . bril-
liant company. The people called this
ball 1.-The diamond ball." for at no op-
portunity save this and here was it pos.
sible to behold such . wealth of dia,
monds. sit was not mere dewdrops
that sparkled and glanced. it was .
Niagara OF b.illiants and diamonds"

pitied Mrs. Mackay because her treas
ures Of jewelry almost weighted her

Preserving Eggs.

Among lot of conundrums that
came to me the other day I find the
following:
"How can keep eggs for winter
use?" and ''How can keep eggs fresh
for six or eight months?''
Well, in all human probability you
cannot do it at all. Eggs that have
been kept in pickle for six or eight
months are not ''fresh," and will not
sell in market, even in winter when
eggs are scarce, for as good prices as
fresh eggs will bring, but still these
''limed'' eggs are sold and used, and
great many people make a snug sum
every year by lining the eggs when
they are cheap. and then selling when
they can about double on them. Last
winter an Eastern firm made q clean
$4,000 ON lined eggs. Here is the
recipe for the pickle:
ITO four gallons of boiling water
add half peck of new lime, stirring it
for some time. When cold strain
through q coarse sieve to. remove
Jumps; add ten ounces of salt to three
ounces of cream of tartar, and mix
thoroughly. Let stand fortnight be-
fore using. Pack the eggs as closely as
possible in anything that will hold the
pickle and keep them closely COW
cred"
Another method is TO coat the eggs
with linseed or cotton seed oil, or par
affine. and then pack small end down.
ward in cut straw, chaff or sawdust.
Still another is to pack them in stone
