Don't Want Sunday Trains.-The Del
ia Herald of last week says: considerable COM
ment on the Sunday running of railroad trains,
has been occasioned by the nearness to compile
ton of the Maryland Central Railroad, and the
question as to whether that road would run Sun
day trains over this end of the line. To the mass
of the people in this section it is an absolute
wrong, corrupting alike the morals Of the EN-
ployees and Of the community at large. If this
be true, then no argument of dollars and cents
can Justify such course. But aside from its NOR
al aspect, it remains an open question whether
Sunday trains pay financially. Men who are
trained to a conscientious regard for the laws of
God and man, are more careful and conscientious
in the performance of duty, and consequently
more faithful employees. Besides, constant la
Dor breaks men down. They need regular rest.
The brain and nervous system require it, and the
hand is more steady for it As consequence the
road operated by such hands is less liable to acci
dents. An illustration in point is our own Y. &
P. b. r. W., which though most persons would
p, ,onounce it dangerous road, yet accidents are
almost unknown upont. This must be attributed
largely to the careful, conscientious employees.
The sacrifice of life and limb and property occa-
stoned by one severe accident will more than coun
terbalance the few paltry dollars made by Sun
day trip"

Sc, ,9sl .S3S. The cash balance on hand January
1st, 1885, 81 7O47.57; received during the year,
S16273.16. The expenditures (including S14,-
SS3 "A fire losses) were Sl67900S, leaving bal
ance in the treasury January lst, 1884, of $3.50
Co. out of which is to be paid S36S0 for losses ad
iusted and unadjusted and not paid, leaving
balance of So, ,S5065. There is also a loss of S4,-
100 in litigation. The report was adopted.
The majority report of the executive committee
showed that the losses by fire were principally
from canning houses and were very destructive,
but no assessment will be made, though if this
class of risks are continued there will be with
drawals. The report of the minority was to the
effe { that the risk on canning houses be continued
and the same rates be charged as on personal pro
perty. Col. e. H. Webster, State Senator E.. M.
Allen and William Young strongly advocated
continuance of the risks but at such rates would
justify the company.
A resolution was offered by Col Herman Stump
that the company insure canning houses and can
ned goods therein at such rates as are charged by
other safe and conservative companies, which was
adopted by vote of 27 to 81.
The action of the executive committee in De
cember last IN reference to conceng risks on can
ming houses, was, on motion of Col. Webster, re-
voked.
The company also decided to insure property for
the fractional part of year. motion to insure
property for three years at a time was defeated

Also one to Mr. Trulock, of Arkansas. They
were all sent by the Western Maryland Railroad.
because we are informed that this road charges
for livestock transportation about onethird less
than other roads. This is fact that buyers Of
Maryland cattle should note, as the high price
charged for transportation of stock by the rail
roads and boats have often deferred purchasers
from distance from purchasing Maryland stock.
