III and loss, December

ft and loss, December
81, 1887 S7.............S1 SIT SOS, ,947 80
The preceding statements show large
increase in the gross revenues of your
Company; after deducting therefrom the
operating expenses and rentals of leased
roads, and the losses OH the United Rail-
roads of New Jersey Division, there re-
mains balance of $40, 2l3, ,295.S6. Deduct
ing from this sum the amounts properly
chargeable thereto, including such por-
ton of the extraordinary expenditures as
your management considered it unwise
TO charge to capital account, the result
was net income for the year of $17S3,-
1850, as compared with 5000, s9690 for
1856.
After making the proper debts and
credits to profit and loss, the amount car
ried to the credit of that account for the
year was $1,9S3, ,509.17, making the total
amount now standing to the credit of
profit and loss $17G0S,9I7,52.
The increase in the gross revenues of
your entire system, and especially of the
lines west of Pittsburg, during the sum-
mer months, arising from the unusual
prosperity of the manufacturing indus
tries of the country, seemed to warrant
your Board in declaring a dividend of
three per cent. in November, making for
the year total dividend of five and a-half
per cent, as against five per cent. in 1886.
~ VIII w llOlth llluJ your investments
in the securities Of other companies, made
from time to time by your management
for the purpose of developing and draw
ing to your lines the traffic of the territory
naturally tributary thereto, amount to the
sum Of sos, 100, ,l0747; and that the direct
cash revenue therefTom for the year was
S4,4sS021lS, being largely in excess of
the interest on your funded debt.
The traffic statements to be found in the
subsequent part of the report show an un-
usual movement, both Of freight and pas
sengers; but, notwithstanding the general
prosperity already referred to, the average
rates obtained on the tonnage were less
than in 1856
The United Railroads of New Jersey Di-
vision continue TO show fair gain in the
volume of both the freight and passenger
business, more especially in the latter;
but as stated in the annual report for
1886, the exceptional expenses connected
with its traffic have prevented your Com
pany from obtaining improved net re-
suits, 1t is gratifying to note, however,
that the deficit occurring on this division
arises almost entirely from the opera
tions of the branch lines, and of the Della
ware and Rartan Canal. The net earn
ings of the main line between Philadel-
phia and New York were very nearly suf-
fcient to provide for the entire dividends
and fixed charges upon that portion Of
the system.
The Philadelphia and Erie Railroad Di-
vision shows an improvement i'm both
gross and net earnings and was able to
provide not only for all its fixed charges,
but to appropriate q reasonable amount
To the payment of obligations heretofore
given for advances made by Your Com
pany.

. 1t will be seen from The above that the
result upon all lines east of Pittshurg and
Erie was an increased earning per passen-
ger per mile of11-l00 of min, and de.
creased expense of 34-l00 of mill, the re-
suit being an increased profit of 45-l0O of

The Grand Rapids and Indiana Rail-

bic results its net earnings having been
more than sufficient to meet the interest
on its funded debt and the losses on its
leased lines. The land department made
sales OF 1905 acres of farm lands and
1852 acres of pine lands for Sl11, ,21S.10,
being an average price of $l9.38 per acre.
The amount sold to the close of the year,
after deducting cancelled contracts, was

coived therefor was $5,6lS, 42305, an aver

exceeded that of last year. The excep-

clude the possibility of operating it as
economically as the other roads in your

of 5-100 of mill, with the result of de-
crease of $40 of mill per ton per mile in

The religion OF the Roumanians is a

said: The whole life of q Wallach is
taken up in devising talismans against
the devil" A Roumanian uncovers his
head on passing a wayside cross, but he
makes an equally deep salutation to the
rising sun; he goes to church on Sunday,
but 1t is doubtful whether he does not re
gard Friday, which is dedicated to Venus,
as the holer day of the two. The ortho-
dox Ronmanian regards any one who
buries q corpse without placing a coin In
the hand as a pagan. The Roumanian
churches. in contrast with the cold, bare
looking churches of the Saxons. present a
most attractive appearance. for they are
covered with artistic decorations, and are
mass of soft, warm coloring.
