nual Meeting.


nual Meeting,
RICHMOND, Dec. 10.--The Richmond and
West Point Terminal Company held a
meeting here to-day. The New York
stockholders were represented by Edward
Lauterbach and Gen. T. NJ. Logan. Mr.
Lauterbach read tho annual report Of Presi4
dent John ii. lnmnn, which says: During
the past year your company has materially
strengthened its position. Attention has
been specially directed to unifying the rail-
road systems you control, simplifying ths
classes OF your indebtedness aud securing

ment OF your properties. 1t has paid

OF tho Georgia company, and acquired n
sufficient number of shares Of the East
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia Railway
Company TO give your company practically
permanent control OF that property
THE Low CAPITALIZATION.
The president calls attention to the very
low capitalization Of the Terminal proper-
ties. The average of the bonded debt and
hxed charges on Nov. 80, 1889, with all the
leases capitalized on the basis Of q
per cent, is only $4,000 per mile.
and the average stock capitalization, in
Guiding the Terminal stock, is only SIG, 800
per mile. The directors believe that the
system can be so formed that its capitaliza-
tion will not exceed $4,000 per mile Ia
bonds and Sl2, 500 per mile in stock, giving
total OF $42, 500 per mile on a system oE
1920 miles, which earned during the last
fiscal year S2s, ,294, ,46l gross; 50, .306 net,
and 81, ,959, ,750 above all charges. Tho CASH
income Of the Terminal company during
the year exceeded the annual fixed charges
by 1855, ,s06, and s134.550 will be added tos
this sum when the coupons on certain bonds
accruing this year are paid.
The following board Of directors was
elected: John Il. Inman, president; T. NJ

He Charges the Cronin Faction Of the
Clan-na-Gael With Rascality.
CHICAGO, Dec. 10.-Mr. Forrest resumed
his argument to the jury at the opening of
the Cronin trial this morning, continu-
ing his analysis of the evidence for the
defense. The conclusion which he reached
was that the Cronin faction Of the Clan-na-
Gael had been drilling witnesses to give
false testimony, and that all of the new
evidence brought out since the sitting of
the coroner's jury had been so manufact-
ured as to strengthen weak spots in the case
of the state as they were developed during
the course of the trial. Mr.. Forrest again
went over the matter Of the knives found
in Coughlin's pocket, and declared that
Conklin had committed perjury in swearing
that they belonged to DIR. Cronin.
The court then adjourned till tomorrow.
1t is understood that Mr.. Forrest will COM
plete his address tomorrow, and the prob
abilities are that the court will then adjourn
to Friday, as Thursday is election day.
Mr.. Mills, who is to make the closing ad-
dress on behalf of the prosecution, has been
quite i'll, and it is not altogether certain
that he will be able to deliver his argument
on Friday. In that case further adjourn
ment may be necessary. Should he be able
to proceed it is hoped that the trial may be
concluded this week.

New Members Attempt to Draw Their
Allowance for Stationery.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-In their anxiety
to get some money for Christmas some Of
the new congressman to-day uncovered a
mares nest. They had devised a scheme to
get sl25 apiece from the clerk of the House
ON their stationery account by way of par
TALLY recouping themselves on their salary
account. Under the rules of the House the
clerk has about 100000 year to disburse
on the stationery account. Each member
and delegate is entitled to $125 in stationery
or In money, the matter being in the hands
of the stationery clerk. To-day when
a number of members asked that they
be given their $125, all at once, in ad-
vance, the new stationery clerk objected
that he could not do this until the accounts
of his predecessor had been settled at the
treasury. Out of this grew the report that
there was shortage in the accounts Of his
predecessor, Mr.. Ancona, report for
which there is no warrant, his accounts be-
ing delayed at the treasury only by the
usual red tape.

PENNSYLVANIA POLITICS.
Magee and Hastings Form q Combi-
nation Against Quay.

nation Against Quay.
WASHINGTON, Dec. Ex-senator Quay is
in state Of mind. Those who have talked
with him since Sunday say that he is using
very vigorous language to express it. 1t is
all on account of the clever combination
between Adjt. Gen. Hastings and Chris
Magee, by which the former becomes the
latter's candidate for governor, and Col.
Montooth, formerly Boss Magee's candidate
for governor, becomes their candidate for
lieutenant governor. Senator Quay's strong
language about this combination proves
plainly that, in spite OF his alleged neu-
trality, Senator Quay's plan is to nominate
Senator Delamater for governor.
COULDN'T KEEP THEM APART.
To this end he hoped to be able to keep
Gen. Hastings and Col. Montooth both in
the field, and to keep Gen. Hastings, above
allsthings, away from Boss Magee. Boss
Magee and Gen. Hastings have now made
the strongest combination Senator Quay
had to fear. The latter is reused by 1t to
strong feeling. He will not admit that it
will prevent his executing his plan to nom
mate Senator Delamater, but he does admit
that it inuerferes with it. He thinks, too,
that Gen. Hastings, who has always professed
friendship with him, has not treated him
quite fairly in going out to Chris Magee's
town to announce his candidacy, and in
celebrating it by joining Chris Magee's
Young Mems Republican Tariff Club,
which disgraced itself, Senator Quay thinks,
by blackballing him. Senator Quay is
going to fight with his "mailed hand" from
