.Friday's. Photo.

This weeks Police Gazette contains very
fair wood cut photograph OF Police phicer
John Pierson, of this city, who carried off
the Police Gazette medal as champion swim=
mer In the contest between policemen In
New York few weeks ago. While easily
recognized, the photo makes the officer
look considerably older and considerably
stouter than he is. The nose and mustache
are perfect, and the cut OF the forehead Is not
lar out. A sketch OF the officers life is also
published In the same number.

The present nun Of the Ontario mill began eight

The annual meeting of the stockholders of the
Central of New Jersey Railroad Company was
held to-day The president and the receiver Of the
company, Mr.. Henry :. Little presented
partial report OF the cOmpsnys operations and Of
its results during the wear 1882. But not single
item of information is vOuc hsafed relative 10 the
company's present financial status-what It's
founded and unfounded liabilities are or wat its
resources assets that are not covered by the
adjustment mortgage. The statement of the results
of the business of 1882 compares with that of the
preceding two years as follows:

Surplus ........ siO65s4 $G02,G5G s597.277
The foregoing statement shows surplus for 1882
OF S579,277; but the charge for Interest and
rentals does not include per cent OF S24O0,OOO
of income bonds which was not paid, and which
constitutes a charge up IN earnings OF SI6s,OOO
Deduct that SUN from the amountof surplus stated
and the remaining surplus is 1929, PIT, a sum equal
1921 per cent on the company's capital stock
But II seems that the surplus" of 1882 was more
than used up by necessary payments. as follows:
