BALTIMORE, MD November 1S.-Ham-
bleton's circular Of this week comments as
follows on the Baltimore & Ohio report:
'The first month of the Baltimore e.
Ohio Compsny's fiscal year produced the
best results which have ever been obtained
in the history of the road. Gross earn
iugs were s.. 2O0,0O and net income
nearly $1,OO0,0O0 for the month. This
statement is gratifying and presages
promising future fir the company. 1t
will not do to lun wild on the dividend
theory Just yet. The company still has
to spend a large amount in betterments,
and especially for new equipment. cars
and engines, which it much needs and
must have. There is an intimation cur
rent that an attempt is to be made to
acquire 80, 500 shares of the Baltimore and
OHIO stock now held and owned by the
city. There are several theories as to the
meaning of this important movement. We
have al ways held that the city should cell
its Baltimore and Ohio stock and cancel
an equal amount of its own stock. Under
no circumstances should the city cell for
less than par. We think the Johns Hop
kins University should also have more
stable investment. The city and univer-
sity together hold fifty thousand shares, or
one-third of the capital stock Of the Bllti-
more and Ohio company. II would bring
a good price.

abandoned fountain, to wait for po-
llceman to arrest her. Surely the for.
mer religion that has been offered there
to day have a work to do.
Just now the Army officials are
thinking of some way to prevent deser'
ton, which Of late years seems to be on
the increase. Some time ago it was
stated, upon what was deemed excellent
authority, that President Harrison
would issue a proclamation giving gen.
eral amnesty to all deserters. such as
was done when Gen. Grant was Presi-
dent in 1872. But up to this time the
order has not appeared, although Sena'
tor Plump and others Of its advocates
have received assurance from the Pres
ldent that it will be done. To the
average layman the issuing of such an
order looks like putting premium on
desertion. But the promoters of this
idea argue that there are thousands of
young men in the west who enlisted
under assumed names, and then, firing
of the service, deserted that this fact
still hangs over them and acts as bar
to their business prospects in the future,
for fear of some day being hauled up by
the military authorities. In order to
prevent If possible the reenllstment of
men who have deserted from the Army
three or lour times, it is now proposed
to adopt an old custom that formerly
prevailed in the Army when recruit
now presents himself to the surgeons
and is passed the doctor will proceed
to vaccinate hin upon certain portion
of the body, which will of course be
known to the Army surgeons. Should
this man desert the service and present
himself at some recruiting rendezvous
under an assumed name, as is done
nearly every week, the fact that he is
deserter from the Army will be clearly
established. By the adoption of this
simple method it is believed that the
great evil Of desertion which has be.
come such source of worry and trouble
to the officers will be mitigated, if not
finally wiped out.
There is probably but little doubt in
the minds of "those who know about
the War department but that Col. John
NJ. Wilson. at present in charge Of sew
eral works in this city, will be sent to
West Point within IL few days as the
superintendent Of the military academy,
and on the strength Of this probability
that officer has of late been the recipl'
ent of many congratulations as we'll as
many expressions of regret from the
friends he has made while here.
