Tenants OF a scotch Laird.

The Highlands and Eebrides are the
home of romance. There is a legend for
almost every step you take. But the cruel
est of these are not so cruel as, and nc2e
have the pathos Of, the tsles of their OVID
and their fathers wrongs and wretcned-
ness which the people tel today. The old
stories of the battle field, and Of clan
meeting clan in deadly duel, have given
way to stories of the clearing Of the land
that the laird or the stranger might have
his shooting and fishing as well as his
crops. At first the people could
not understand it. The eTicted went
to the laird, as they would have gone
Of old, and asked for a new home.

STATEMENT FROM PRESIDENT SPENCER
President Samuel Spencer, of the Baltimore
and Ohio, makes the following statement ::
II have seen the various comments and In
ferences drawn from the official statements
of the company as issued on Wednesday.
These statements show beyond question that
tho company net only paid all of its expenses
and fixed charges and dividends on its pre-
ferred stock for the year, but had balance
left after ell such payments. Moreover, the
fixed charges included the retiring Of
1886 900 of bonded indebtedness, which un
der some systems of bookkeeping might not
have been7 made to appear as charge
against income. Included In the operating
expenses were $4,000 spent upon the road
way, bridges, engines and freight cars in
excess CT the amount 80 spent the gear pre-
vious, which was done to improve the gen.
eral condition of those parts of the property
which it Is necessary to have In perfect or
der to do large business economically
This result of improving the property. and
at the same time meeting all OF its current
liabilities out OF income for the year, has
been accomplished when rates we're greatly
demorelized and without two arms OF the
service which contributed 10 the earnings In
years previous, namely: The express and
the sleeping cars. The stock holders and
the public can rely that every yearly liabili
ty of the company, whether for interest on
bonds, on floating indebtedness, all losses
on subordinate Or depe ndent lines, all lease
and taxes, in fact, all charges against To-.
come, on the most rigid principles of book
keeping, are included in these statements
Ia feet they not only include all interest
paid, but all which had accrued to Septem-
Der 30 Oh every class of liati ity.n
