RAILROAD MATTERS.

A statement OF the Condition of the
New York & New England.
The Boston Traveller of recent date
saws: With the view of obtaining a
closer insight into the details of the
status of the New York & New England
road, further official investigation has
been made. 1t is found that for the
thirteen months ending October 81, 1890,
this period representing the operations
of the road since its last annual report
of the fiscal year ending September 80,
1889, marked improvements have been
made. Excepting only the Melrose
branch of about ten miles, and over
which the traffic is very light (but one
daily train passing each way), the entire
main track is of steel rail. This has
been repaired by the placing of 1850
tons of rs pound new steel rail, 257, 900
cross ties and large number of switch
ties, this being the largest number of
ties ever placed during corresponding
period, thus fully demonstrating the ex-
ceilent condition of the roadbed and
tracks. Fifty locomotives have been
thoroughly Overhauled. The freight
equipment, small in Comparison to many
roads of the same mileage, from having
an expenditure of $3.50, 200 placed there
ON, is now in q more satisfactory con-
dition and better prepared to handle the
increased business, while the passenger
equipment is fully up to the standard of
any road entering Boston. Such bridges
as have required renewal have been con-
structed of iron and from models per-
hitting the transit OF trains of the
required weight and capacity. The
floating debt of the road on October 81 =,
1890, was 1881 ,429. SO, which includes all
nOtes payable, all accrued interest, in
fact every obligation saving bonded,
contract and mOrtgaged Indebtedness,
and, as before stated, the figures con-
firm the fact that the amount is SO ex-
ceedingly small for a road Of the mile
improvements been made to the prop
erty such as new sidings, new loeomo-
tives, purchase of real estate, construc-
item Of buildings, this floating debt
would have had no existence. And
again, had it been deemed wise to have
sold 5000 shares of preferred stock
which had been duly authorized, the in
debtedness could have been wiped out,
but the amount being so easily carried
only 332 shares have been sold under
the present management and in January
last. All operating expenses, fixed
charges and preferred dividends have
been paid from the net earnings of the
road, and the following statement,
officially sanctioned, amply refutes the
false and malicious criticisms recently
noted. Every corporation, especially
railroads, can not but feel the present
financial stringency, but the New York
& New England was never in better
condition to weather the storm. The
gross earnings, operating expenses, net
earnings, fixed charges, dividends and
surplus, for the thirteen months ending
October 81, 1900, were AZ fellows: Gross
earnings, 6,542 ,592.41; operating ok
penses, $4,274, 421 81 net earnings, 3D.
269. 170.9 90; charges against income, ST.
1856, O01.21 net operating surplus, $685.
321. 92.

careful attention and experience of what

of "Rapid Transit" Fred Mendoza, one
of the company, was shot in the eye
by another member of the company,

Is said to be the most daring innova-

the performance Of these two former

decisive hit, and that, in the mana
