Especial telegram to the Dispatch.I
PETERSBURG, VA, December L.
The adjourned meeting Of the stock
holders Of the Petersburg Railroad
Company, which was to have been held
to-day, failed for want Of quorum.
The presidents report and that Of the
general superintendent will, however,
be published. The Dispatch correspond
ent has been furnished with copies,
from which is extracted the following ::
PETERSBURG, VA, October, 1885.
To the Stockholders
The gross revenue for the past year,
including a small amount Of interest on
deposits, was s345, The ex-
penses were slSS,033.4S; balance,
sl57 ,692.45. Fixed charges were
sll9,974.50; surplus, s37,1l7.95,
which has been thus disposed Of:
First mortgage 8 per cent. bonds paid,
$1,000; seventeen Class b (6 per cent }
coupon bonds purchased and can
celled, sl5, 5,3G3.75; investment in
A. c. L. sleepers, s2,700; bal
ance unexpended, s2,654.20-s37,- y
1875. The funded debt has been re-
duced s34, OF the Class A bonds
issued by the trustee there are now on
deposit and subject to our draft with
the Central Trust Company Of New
York, $4,000; with the Safe Deposit
and Trust Company Of Baltimore,
100000; and these are in the hands Of
the trustee to meet the maturing per
cent. bonds, as required by the mort
gage Of s326,000. At the price which
these bonds now command they would
much more than suffice for this. The
Atlantic and Danyille Railroad Com
pany has crossed our line near Bel
field on the same terms as did the
Meherrin Valley Railroad Company.

CALICO Mills MANUFACTURING I
COMPANY,
RICHMOND, D,vA., Nov. 30, 1885.

" WV @<0'"~' ~
Please allow me to correc, an error
which appeared in your issue Of the
Goth, in reporting the Indebtedness OF
the Gallsgo Mills Manufacturing Com
pany. You said the indebtedness Was
sG76,4OO. In arriving at these figures
your reporter added the deed Of Decem-
Der %, 1873, and the deed Of October
|, 1885, togcther--and the error was .
natural one and easy to make. The
deed Of December %, 1873, was for
1926, 400. 0fthis amount the company
retired ESQ, 400, leaving outstanding
sl76,000 Of bonds under this deed I;
and the deed Of October |, 1885. was
for $3.50, 600, but Of this amount $780,
600 was reSerred to retire the first
mortgage bonds, and only s250, 900 was
to be used--thus making the entiro
bonded debt a426, 900, aud not s676,-
400, as reported.
am sure you will be glad 70 make
the correction. Yours respectfully,
THOMAS PoTrs, Receiver.

objected and told the doctor that
she was subject to heart disease, and
that she feared that the administer
ing cf an anesthetic might result ia
tally The dentist then felt her pulse
and assured her that there was no
danger, as he did not think she had
heart disease The patient was finally
persuaded to follow his advice. She
took the seat and the drug was ap-
piled. When three of her teeth had
been drawn she showed signs of re-
vival and was drugged once more,
and three more teeth were taken out
and again there were signs of return
ing consciousness. For the third
time the drug WAS administered,
when the collapse came. The pa
tient was removed from the chair to
lounge, where she died within a
few minutes in spite of the efforts of
a doctor who had been hastily called
in. This is the story as told by Mrs.
Madden. DIR. Day denies that he
administered chloroform more than
once and insists that the patient died
from a nervous shock. DR. Day has
practised dental surgery in Chicago
since 1876.

Killed BY a Bull.

A New Castle special says: A man
by the name of Enron Tyson, who
was employed by W. H. Hopper, OF
Shenango township, Lawrence Co,
was killed by a vicious bull at noon
on Tuesday. Tyson has had charge
of the animal for two years, being
his constant keeper, and it was nev
sr known to show any vicious ten
denotes before. 1t is of the, short
horn breed, noted for gentleness. Ty
son drove the animal out of the barn
and turned it into an adjoining field,
which he was in the habit of doing
daily. As he started to return the
bull turned on him without any pro-
vocation, and, before he could man
age to escape, butted him to death,
crushing nearly every bone In hi'
body above the waist. The flesh wa'
greatly bruised, but no pace shows
signs of the horns piercing the body
After having done this terrible mis-
chief, the bull became perfectly gen
tie, and was handled with perfect
submission.

State Treasurershlp.

Ex-Secretary of State, Quay, has
taken the field for the office of State
Treasurer, and this is what the Phil
adelphia Bulletin says about it: MIR.
Quay announces himself as a candid
ate for the nomination of State Treas
urer, and the announcement seems
to have made a considerable stir
among the politicians. There are
several things that can be safely said
of Dir. Quay. In the first place, if
Mr.. Quay says that he is going to
run, it is a sure thing that he means
it. He is not the man to bea tender
to anybody else, or to use himself or
be used for the ulterior benefit OF
others. He will be real candidate
or none at all. In the second place,
Mr. Quay, if nominated, will make
lively campaign of it. There is moth
ing phlegmatic or torpid about him.
1t is an off-year and the Repub-
lican majority is safe; but Mr..
Quay would not be content with
but a rattling fight and
rousing majority. And in the third
place, Mr. Quay would make an un-
qaestionably good State Treasurer.
As Secretary Of State under Govern
or Hartranft, he was invaluable, and
he would bring into the State Treas
ury 6 degree of natural ability and
trained experience in public affairs
that would ensure the best possible
administration. There has never
been a breath of reproach upon Mr..
Quay's official or personal integrity,
and he would make as good and safe
a State Treasurer as could be select
ed.
This much-and it is good deal
can fairly be said. of Mr.. Quay's
for the State Treasurer
ship. There may be other candidates
N the field as good as he; but there
sill not be many better. Mr. Quay
S not the Evening Bulletins candid
ate; but neither is any one else 1t
S not our habit to lave candidates
until they have been nominated.

Important If True,

A CITY paper, under the above head
declares the recent discoveries, have
revealed the information that there
is an incendiary association that has
its head quarters in New York city.
The chief of the gang is known as
"The Professor" He makes arrange
ments with proprietors of stores,
and for a percentage of the insur-
ance money sends one of its mem
bers to any city or town; arranges
matters; sets fire to the places es-
capes, and leaves no trace by which
either he or the proprietor can be
connected with the affair.

II educed Rates to the Army
Reunion at Baltimore via
Pennsylvania Railroad.

The sixteenth annual reunion of the Army
of the Potomac will be held in the city of
Baltimore, May 9th and eth. Present indi-
catiens foreshadow one of the most brilliant

les, with receptions, banquets, excursions,
&c, 10 fill in the intervening time. The pa
rade will be fine spectacle, and a magnii
cent display of fireworks, in which many
novel effects will be introduced, form an
interesting feature for one night.
Besides the soldiery of the Union, many
of vnom will come fresh from the field of
Gettysburg, a large number of distinguished
persons IN civil lite are expected to be pres
ent. The President of the United States,
members of the Cabinet, and other men of
high station, will participate in the ceremo-
MES

Der of visitors who will be attracted thither,
