The Maine Central Railroad Report.

The annual report of the Maine Central
Railroad Company for the year ending
September 30. 1891, makes as usual very
interesting reading and shows, in con-
else form, the great business transacted by
that euterpri>ing company. The gross
earnings of the road for the year were S4,-
3249 800 o. The expenses of the road tor
the same time, Including taxes were g.
942, ~, leaving 81 $50 .527. Il as the net
earnings from business. The company
paid for interest less rents received s7s9.-
ll5.l4; tor rentals 81 l49 POS 10; for semi
annual di,idends S2l5 CPS 00-making the
net surplus for the year sl7 ,69l 81
The report points out the fact that while
the fiscal year covered by the report has
been one of financial prosperity to the
company, the result shows decrease in
the net earnings, due principally TO the
temporary depression of the lumber inter-
ests on the line and to very large de-
crease in the ice traffic which in the pre-
cedlug year was one Of unparalleled mag
nitude.
The lease Of the Knox & Lincoln Rail-
way. made during the year has added fifty
miles to the system which, it is believed,
will be a valuable acquisition.
During the year 1867 ,695 passengers
and l,10G,l55 tons of freight were trans
ported over the main line and its branch
e.. The total number of miles run BY pas
>enger trains was 59G ,254; by freight
trains l,3+0 235; and by working trains,
switching, etc, l,220.470 making total
number Of miles run 4, ,l56, 959-a distance
which Is equal in the aggregate to more
than l66 times around the earth
The company used during the year 1922
524 tons of bitumnous coal, 5 ,065 tons of
anthracite coal, and LIS cords of wood.

of passengers from each station for the

Sad Story From Monroe.
Father and Daughter Found Dead in Their
Reds.

Father and Daughter Found Dead in Their
Beds.
Moses Jellison and his daughter Sarah
of Monroe were both found dead in their
beds the 30th ult, where they had lain sew
eral days. They had been sick with Ia
grippe for some time with no attendance
They had become too weak to call for as
sistance and had lain for several days pre-
vious to their death without fire or any
nourishment whatever. A ten years old
granddaughter of Mr.. Jellison was in the
house all of the time, but she was wild
with fear and afraid of strangers, 80 that
she could not be induced to hail passers,
by either of her sick relatives. The Jelli-
son house stands on the much travelled
road to Frankfort, and teams pass there
frequently at all hours of the day. The
Jellisons have lived In this house for years,
but have always kept to themselves, never
mingling with their neighbors. The bodies
were buried Monday. Mr.. Jellison leaves
two children who are married and reside in
another part of the town. Both are deaf
and dumb. A small pension which he
drew for son who died in the army was
the main source Of sustenauce for the
family.
