tain. $50 that was due her. An application

AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS.


The forty-second annual report of the
management of the Pennsylvania lines Is
published, and is given in President Rob
erts's usual concise manner The gross
earnings of the Pennsylvania system for
1883 reached the sum of S116.50 o 92.59. The
gross earnings of the lines west of Pitts
burg were S19,57 70. 177.4s; operating expenses,
s13.Ol6,s1z.O9; net earnings. S6.562, 36O.39.
President Roberts says that 1T Will be
noted that the lines west of Pittsburg show
a comparative decrease in net results of ST.
AS. 6Os.S 81 as compared with 1887. While the
freight movement shows a gain of 1,O62.O51
tons. and the passenger travel an increase
of 1~,655,521 in the number carried, there
was O general reduction in the rates
on all classes of traffic. Large
expenditures were made IN, the
crease of facilities at terminal points, the
renewal of bridges, TIE construction of
branches and sidings, and upon freighta and
passenger stations and new equipment.
The condition of the properties was fully
maintained. The amount expended during
the year on capital account on the lines
west of Pittsburg was S2,047 ,095.G. There
were used In construction and repairs on
the Northwestern lines operated directly In
your interest S,H4 tons, and on the South
western lines 1864 tons, of new steel rails.
The rates received for freight traffic show
q continued annual decrease, ever more
marked in 1883 than in previous years; the
partial failure of crops in the West having
affected the volume of through traffic and
stimulated an active competition among
the Western roads for that business at I'M
remunerative rates, This disastrous COM
petition finally extended. to the Eastern
trunk lines, and found expression in
an open and severe reduction
in the west-bound tariff by one
of the principal railway companies. TO meet
what it believed to be the secret rates of
some of its competitors. Your manage
ment, not unmindful of the advantages
that ave accrued to your properties from
the conservative policy uniformly adopted
by it, endeavored to maintain rates at a
just and remunerative Standard. but were
reluctantly compelled to meet the tariffs
made by other responsible lines, in order to
protect the commercial and manufacturing
interests situated upon your roads,, and pre-
vent a severe depletion of the volume of
your traffic. The other lines west of Pitts
burg, on account of which your company
has assumed direct obligations, or in which
it is largely interested through ownership
of securities, but which are operated
through their own organizations, are, the
and roads operated through its Organlza-
ton; st. Louis. Vandalia d Terre Haute
railroad; Grand Rapids and Indiana rail-
road. and roads operated through its or

Refused Many's Orders.

County Treasurer Loftin refused town
ship Trustee Many's orders yesterday. The
county treasurer says he has another or
der from Many warranting the payment of
$1,000 to Sullivan, which the latter col
lected, and when the trustee presented his
official claims to the treasurer, YESTERDAY,
amounting to something near $4,000. Loftin
insisted that his order to Sullivan should
go as partial payment, which proposition
Many refused. Both men are immovable
in their positions taken, and the matter will

The Attorney-General Asks to Have a Re-

Attorney-general Kitchener yesterday
brought suit in the Circuit Court, on be-
half of the State, against John E. Sullivan
and w. X. Sproule, his bondsman, to recov-
er $40. which the iirst-named defendant
embezzled from the funds of the State in
trusted to his care. The object of the suit
is to secure the appointment of a receiver
to take charge of N and all moneys that
may be due Sullivan. These, it is claimed,
must be first used to settle the debts that
now hang over the county clerks office.
Since the claim put forward by David Bur
ton, one of Sullivan's bOndsmen, seeking
his relief from any obligation whatever, it

There are private debts that are said to
have been paid by Sullivan, amounting to
something over $50. OOO, which money was
obtained from the trust funds in his pos
session. The complaint further claims that
were aware of the fact that Sullivan had
no legal claim on it, and such being the
case a question arises as to whether or not
they can be held responsible. The suit in
question is over a $500 bond, forfeited bail
in the criminal Court, which Sullivan APP

The Employees Relief Association of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company is getting
on an excellent financial foundation. In
the year 1888 there was contributed by the
company and by the employees n total or
S414.39S.57. The amount paid out to the
families of employees in death benefits and

If the statements of the New York Mail
and Express are correct Gen. John McNul.
ta's prospects to secure the presidency OF
the consolidated Wabash interests are not
very favorable. The Mail. of Monday,
says: General McNulta still manages to
keep an item in circulation saying that he
is likely to be president of the Wabash
road when the purchasing committee
finally get control of the property, and that
President Ashley will retire. AS a matter
of fact. General McNulta endeavOred to Sc
cure the promise of some support when he
was last in this city, but he was given to
understand very pOintedly that he had
done nothing to commend himself to the
owners of the property, and the sooner he
was relieved from anv charge in cOnnec-
stockholders. Mr.. Gould, holding the
trifing amount of 100, 600 shares of the com-
mon stock, will probable have some influ-
ence in the election, and President Ashley's

ney fell. two of the men decamped. Vans
testimoney created no little surprise. The
James woman was released from Jail, yes
