The annual report of the Commission
er of Railroads for the fiscal year end
ing June 80, 1884, has been submitted
to the Secretary of the Interior. The
companies coming within the jurisdic-
ton of the Commissioner freely accord
ed all proper facilities for the inspec-
ton of their properties and the exami-
nation of their books. The report en-
braces statements showing the indebt.
edness of the subsidized railroads to
the United States, their earnings and
expenses. financial condition and vari-
Gus other data, pertaining to these
roads.
The Union and Central railroads
have Q total credit with the Govern
ment of s24, 1888, 222, which leaves .
balance in favor Of the United States,
but not due until the maturity of the
principal in 1896 and 1899, of Sl02,
934, 1913.
The sinking funds of the Union and
Central Pacific companies, held by the
Treasurer of the United States, under
the Thurman Act, amounted at date of
report to $6,0S4, O99, of which amount
the Union Pacific had to it's credit
$3,435, $40, and the Central Pacific
$2,64S, 523.
The total indebtedness of the several
subsidized railroads in the United
States on the Both of June last was:
Union Pacific, including Kansas Pacific,
$50, 639, O66; Central Pacific, including
Western Pacific, $54, CAT, S25; Sioux
City and Pacific, SO, 245, sos, making
grand total due from these railroads to

$226, O95, $40, and the total assets of the
company s245,Oll,3 1868, leaving a sur
plus, including land sales, of SlS,9l5,-
TIA. The total stock and debt of the
Central Pacific is $3.50, 3l2, 1876, and to-
tai assets SIT, 1897, O79, leaving deficit
of $2,324,276. The Central Pacific

of waterfront and lands in San Francis
co, Oakland and Sacramento at 81, $780,
600, in all $50, 600, 600, in addition to
the assets above given.
The Commissioner invites attention
to the subject of funding the debts of

final action, looking to the ultimate
payment to the Government of their
vast Indebtedness.

THE OHIO ELECTION.

The official returns from the election
in Ohio, as compiled by the Secretary
of State, are as follows;
For Secretary of State-Robinson Or ,

For Supreme Judge-Johnson (R.l

For member of Board of Public
Works-Flickinger (R.), 500, sS5; Bon

Ogden (G.), 1851.
Robinson. for Secretary of State,
headed the Republican ticket, as Ohio
does not elect Governor this year.
His plurality over Newman, who
headed the Democratic ticket, was H..
1924, but he is in minority of 2,0l3
votes, though the total vote was the
heaviest ever polled in the State.
In 1850 General Garfield had plp.
rality of "a, 227 over General Hancock.
and a majority of 25,l55 over Demo
Gratis, Greenbackers and Prohibitionis.s
combined. 1t is conceded that the re
cent election was as warmly contested.
as any ever held in the State, and that
the fall Republican vote was polled.
yet the returns show that the head of
the Republican ticket received minor
ity of the total vote. This shows that
the drift of political sentiment is not
toward the Republican party. General
Garteld's majority OF over $500 has
been more than overcome by the com.
bined opposition, though several prom-
nent Republican newspapers, which
oppose Blaine, advocated the election
of the Republican State ticket two
weeks ago. If proportionate change.

Letter Postage.

The Boston Globe strongly endorses the
movement that has been set on loot IN
Congress to change the rate OF letter post
sge from two cents per half ounce to TWO
cents per ounce. After stating that the
movement should be carried through, II
says:
at Ia not probable that the favorable
report OF the committee will be made until
next winter, by which time better esti-
mate can be made OF the results OF the
present law. The change to the ounce
weight would not materially reduce the in
come, as the proportion OF letters requir.
ing double postage is small. But it would
be very great convenience TO those whom
il would benefit"
The Washington. Post also favors the
change. 1t says:
Many reasons may be cited for the adj
iustment Of letter rates at the lowest popu-
lar standard. and the question is one OF
much public interest. The policy of the
Government should be to fix its rates at the
minimum consistent with the proper main
tenance OF it, postal revenues. The legiti-
mate sphere of the Post-Oflice Department
Is to save money for the people-not to
make money for itself.

Seeking Divorce i'm Virginia.

A Winchester special 10 the New York
Times SAYS: Two weeks ago there arrived
here from New York lady and gentleman
whose names were ascertained afterwards
TO be Edwin r. A. Seligman. junior
member of the prominent New York
banking firm of Seligman II Co.. and
Mrs. Virginia Wright Brattan, who is
a neice of II. c. Winthrop. OF Mas
sachusetts, and connected with prominent
families in New York and New England.
She is said to have come direct here from
Paris, and created q decided furry in soci-
ETY. here by her extremely rich and FASH
ionable dressing. They went TO board in
retired neighborhOOd. Their object here
was quite a mystery, which was cleared
away in rather an unexpected manner by
the announcement in the Daily Ne,oS here
that the lady had instituted suit by her
next friend, Mr.. Seligman. in theCorpora-
ton Court, against her husband, George
james. Brattan. who, being a nonresident
OF the State, was only given month to
appear and defend himself or the ease went
by default.
Mr.. Brattan is said TO be abroad. Mrs.
Brattan's lawyers are Mcssrs. Barton and
Boyd. They have not yet liled her bill and
much interest is manifested by the public

though Mr.. FOSTER was The political oppo.

II is officially stated by the commission
presided over by the Grand Duke VLADI-
MIR that the Nihilism so prevalent in the
Russian army and navy is due to mad
equate pay, and the gross injustice OF the
systems of promotion in these two depart
ments OF the public service. This is proba-
bly, true. but even were such causes OF dis
content removed, the chief sources OF Nihi-
ism would not be eradicated. A recon-
s!ruction of the army and navy would not
touch the causes that foster Nihilism in
the high schools and the social and politi-
cal life OF Russia. The chief danger to the
Government is in circles which cannot be
conclliltcd by rewards, and which cannot
be reached by Investigation.

Saved by an Unknown.

A Long Branch telegram says: The
loungers on the beach Wednesday after
noon were startled by the agonized cry,
Help, help! Pm sinking!" The sound
came from Miss Millicent Meta. the belle
OF the Branch, beautiful girl oil eighteen,
and belonging TO one Of the most fashion,
able families OF Cincinnati. A few min
utes before she had been performing
some expert feats of swimming, t.
the great admiration OF the throng
on the beach. As she disappear
cd beneath the waves, overcome by
sudden weakness, young man on the
beach, dressed in a bathing-suit, plunged
into the surf and swan rapidly toward the
drowning girl. On reaching the spot
where she had sunk he dived down, and
soon reappeared with her clasped in his
arms. She was still conscious. and with
great presence Of mind clutched him by
the left arm and left his right arm free TO
work toward the shore. Many times the
brave fellow and his fair burden were sab
merged by the giant breakers; but after a
long struggle he came near enough 10 the
beach for assistance TO be rendered, and
they were helped upon the beach.
During the excitement attending the res
cue the young man disappeared, and all at
tempts to discover his identity have proved
fruitless.
