TIE BUBBLE COLLAPSED.

The Sentinel punctures its own bubbles as
fast as it blows them It's recent attack on
the police is exploded by the letter of its edi-
tor to the board. It's wholesale and indis-
criminate charges against the force of dere-
LECTION of duty, and of individual acts Of cor
req uest for specific information, in order that
the matter might be investigated. This was
natural and business-like. IF the paper had
any facts or personal knowledge of the.truth
of the charges justice to all concerned re-
quired that such facts should be COM
municated to the board, especially if
they were to be made the basis of a sensa-
tional and indiscriminate assault on the entire
force, Democrats as well as Republicans.
The reply to the request of the board for spe-
cifc information is bumptious letter from
the editor of the Sentinel evading their
request, and referring them for information it
possesses to the columns of the paper. The
fippancy of the letter does not conceal the fact
that it is no reply to the boards request. If
anything were needed to prove that the Sen
tinels charges were manufactured out of
nothing, this letter furnishes the proof. It is
made of the same material. The Commits
sioners seem to have made mistake in sup
posing that the charges might possibly be
founded on fact The puncturing of the
bubble shows it was only filed with bad air.

THE R. & P. RAILROAD.
ITS PROPOSED LEASE To THE VII
NINGTOA AND WELDON
WHY the Lease IL Desircd-The question
to be Considered on the s5th Instant
The Road Doing an Increasing and
Steadily Profitable Business
BASKISG HoUsE OF JoHN l.. J
WILLIAMS & Son, I'LL MAIN STREET, /,
RIcHMoyD, VA, April 3, 1883.

The passage Of bill by the late Legis-
lature, authorizing the leasing OF tue
Petersburg railroad, was followed by a
disquietlng report that the road WIS TO
be leased at the rate Of per cent. per
annum on the stock The .essees, it was
said, were 10 be the Wilmington & Wei
don Railroad Company.
1t IL known, or at least generally be
lieved, that either the Wilmington *
Weldon Railroad Company, or the
parties who control il, also hold con-
trolling interest in the Petersburg rail-
road. Therefore the lease OF the Peters
burg road to the Wilmington q Weldon
Company would be simple giving and
taking possession OF the Petersburg road
by the Wilmington q Weldon people.
Farther it is plain that the Petersburg
road has seen its worst DAYS. It's earnings
for years past have been spent in ian
proving and equipping The road The
present indications ale full of PROMISE.
And il is naturally asked, why shall the
company hand over IL chances OF prolit,
its bright prospects, at the very moment
that they are coming assured to them !
Why the Wilmington * Weldon Com
pany wishes 10 lease the road seems very
plain.
\ meeting of Tie Stockholders of the
Petersburg Railroad Company has been
called for the . h of April, 10 is under
stood 20 consider this question ci lease.
II j.. therefore important io look into the
affair, OF the Petersburg road, and enquire
VIVA; might be 4 fair aud honorable rate
for the lease. II il not only a question
of business interest "a affecting outside
stock holders, tut one Of delcacy and
honor and pr0prieiy as affecting the
parties who have obtained the bill, and
who will control the vote. The road Is
81 miles long 1t Is covered with steel
rail Its main bridges are Of iron Its
grades are easy And It's general cOndi-
tions are such as 10 ensure that the run
ming expenses will be small percentage
Of ils gross receipts It's equipment
in engines, cars, etc, i very
fair. though not equal 10 is
large and constantly increasing bust
ness 1t j. an essential link of the great
Atlantic Coast Line, the Richmond,
Fredericksburg X Potomac road, the
Richmond Il Petersburg road, and The
Wilmington x Weldon road are doing
an immense and extremely profitable
business Il would be very extraordinary
If the Petersburg and Weldon road. an
intermediate link, should not share the
prosperity of this road on each end Of IL
But, in fact, the Petersburg road has been
and is doing very profitable and in.
creasing business, and promises TO fall
little short of its neighbofs.
From the annual report of the road wc
get the following
The Daily times. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1886-1889, 1888-04-04

For more than five years past extraor-
dlnary expenditures, such as the purchase
of engines and cars, the building of iron
bridges, The laying of Steel rails, and
other valuable betterments have been
charged to running expenses But, never
theless the rates of expenses TO receipts
have been So per cent and under We
must expect that hereafter, with an easy
grade and steel track, and largely inn
proved equipment, the ratio will be as
regular thing close to 90 per cent.
Ii will be seen by examining the above
figures that the business and profits OF
the road have been steadily increasing
The comparative gross receipts were in
1897, S3G0342 40; in 1888, $685., ,l7s G9
Increase, S25, 1888 80.
The comparative net profits were in
1886, $50, ,4s6 60; in 1883, s32 .2o9. In
