Some Significant Figures.

An affidavit filed by Capt. jackson In the
railroad case at Macon shows that the pay
rolls of the Central system for the month of
May, 1891, called for 1918 ,10S Is, and those
for February. 1892 for only s1sS, ,725 80.
Here is a difference of about $3.50, 900 a
month. or saving, II continued through
out the year, nearly sufficient to pay two
thirds of the fixed charges.
II these figures are correct, and there Is
no reason to doubt they are, the Central
system before it was leased must have been
operated without any regard to economy
or else the Richmond and Danville reduced
the running expenses below a point that
would permit the system to be kept In good
physical condition.
May is not busier month than February,
and 1t is fair to presume that as many en-
ployes were needed In one month as In the
other.
If the Richmond and Danville operated
the Central for $130, 900 a month less than
it cost to operate it as an in dependent sys-
tenn that company must have made great
deal of money out of the Central, even if
there was falling Off In freights on ac-
count Of the depressed condition of busi>
ness
The Central made much more than its
fixed charges when operated as an inde,
pendent system. For two OF three years It
made as much as IL per cent. At least it
was reported that it made that much. But
it did not make the dividend 1t paid during
the last two years 1t was operated as an i'm
dependent system. II the Richmond
and Danville saved $3.50, 900 month in op-
Grating expenses it must have made a great
deal more than the per cent. dividend the
lease called for.
1t may be that It was only during the
last few months that the operating ex-
penses were reduced to as great an extent
as the figures quoted indicate. In that case
1t is fair to presume that the saving was
effected at the expense Of the physical cons
dition of the road and could not have been
continued without disastrous results.

Terminals Reorganization.

It looks very much as IL the holders Of the
securities of the properties controlled by the
Richmond Terminal Company do not re-
gard the Olcott plan Of reorganization with
great deal of favor. The tendency Of the
prices of the securities is downward. indicat~
ing that there is a want Of confidence In the
plan and in the new securities. Those who
hold the securities which are really valua-
BILE, and for which dollar for dollar would
in sll probability be realized il the proper
ties should be forced into bankruptcy, seem
inclined to hold on to what they have rather
than to take their chances for getting some
thing out Of the new securities, the market
value Of which is yet problematical.
One Of the reasons probably why there is
want OF confidence In the plan is the
doubt whether the statement relative to the
net earnings of the combined properties is
correct. This want Of confidence would
not exist if previous statements Of similar
character had been In keeping with the
facts. Only recently has it been given out
that last year the net earnings of the
fixed charges, and yet 81, 1000, 900 was paid
out In dividends. From this 1t appears that
a debt of 81, 200, 900 in one year was CON
tracted. In the face of such showing It Is
not to be wondered at that there Is lack of
confidence In the reorganization plan, or
that the prices of Terminal securities should
| decline.
In a special from New York In the
MORNING NEWS yesterday the statement is
made that it is rumored that Gen. Thomas
and John Inman have virtually abandoned
the Terminal aud its affairs and that since
they ceased to be prominent in It's manage
ment its securities have been weak. 1t is
not clear why the severance of their con-
nection with the Terminal companies should
| affect the securities of those companies iu-
| juriously. Was is not while they were
prominent in Terminals affairs that the
| financial difficulties Of the Terminal proper
ties were increasedl
The men who are now In control of the
Terminal seem to be trying TO prevent a
wreck. It does not appear that they alone
are responsible for the alarming financial
condition In which the Terminal properties
| are at present. 1t is true the question with
them may be how to make the most money
out Of the concern. but assuming that is so
their immediate purpose is clearly to avoid
a collapse and disastrous wreck Of the huge
| Terminal system.

The Contra May Be Saved.

It's the opinion OF men thoroughly fsmil-
far With the Central railroad system and its
financial difficulties that IL can be saved
from ruin. and in the course Of time re-
stored to the once proud position, with re-
spect to its credit, il oncs occupied. It has
a splendid territory tributary 10 1t, and,
therefore, great earning capacity.
A careful study Of the exhibit Of its re-
sources aud obligations that was published
in the MORNING NEWS Macon dispatch on
Friday shows that its condition is now per-
ilous, and justihes the conclusion that only
the most capable aud vigorous management
management that will invite the conf
dence Of bankers and that can make the
most Of the roads resources-can save 1t.
Aud il ought TO be saved, not only
because It is magnificent property that
has grown TO its present proportions
through more than half q century, and has
enjoyed credit second TO no other great
railroad corporation in the country, but
also because there are hundreds. and per-
haps thousands, of people. besides charita-
ble institutions and estates. that are de-
pendent upon incomes derived from Its
securities.
The chief source OF the danger is the debt
due Speyer & Co., for which an immense
amount Of securities is pledged, and which
will have to be provided for in November
next In January nearly 100000 in
bonds win be due, and will have to be pro-
vided for. And running all through the
year there are fixed charges which will
have to be taken care Of. and for which the
roads earnings during the dull months Of
summer cannot be depended upon.
II is apparent from this brief statement
that If the court determines to appoint re-
ceiver the man selected for the position
must be not only flrst-class railroad man,
but also a man of more than ordinary grasp
In financial matters-a man who not only
knows how TO handle great railroad sys-
tenn and get business for It In the face OF
fierce competition, but who will inspire
bankers with such confidence that he can
get money on easy terms.
And it In evident that II she court does
not appoint receiver, but restores the road
TO Its stockholders, the same sort Of man
must be placed at the head Of It, 1t may
even be necessary 20 have reorganization
Of the board of directors. The majority
stockholders have said that they would not
stand in the way OF any changes the
minority stockholders might desire to make.
and they have gone so far as to suggest that
the two New York directors would resign II
their designations were desired.
There is an impression that the principal
creditors of the road are willing 10 help it.
They do not desire to see 1t wrecked. All
they want Is their money, and IL they can
be made to feel that it is safe they win not
be urgent for its payment, and will rem
der the road assistance in getting It's fnan-
cial affairs In a sound condition. But 1t is
safe to say that before they will do any
thing or before help can be secured from any
source. a management must be assured that
will command such confidence that the
credit of the road will be restored.

A Scotch Dogs wonderful saxac,tv

"a
T. Sidney Cooper, the English animal painter.
tells an exchange says the Chicago Herald
that he often made valuable studies in Cunber-
land at places where Scotch drovers haIted
with their cattle for the night. On such ocoa
sions he often had chance to see illustrations
OF an animals intelligence as well as Of its phy.
sical perfection.
One day when there was pouring rain a man
consented to sit for me at the inn where was
staying. He brought his collie with him. and
both or them were dripping wet, so he put off
his plaid and laid 1t on the floor by the dog
made very successful sketch of the man
but before had finished it the dog grew hdgetv
with the wet plaid, and his master said TAX,
it ava. mon; TAX it ava"
The dog took the end of It between his teeth
and dragged 1t out of the room.
After had finished the drover's portrait I
asked him If he thought his dog would bs Quiet
for o time, as wished to sketch him.
70, yes, mon" he answered. he'll do any
thing say TO him. Watch. Watch2'' he called
and then 'whustled" for him, as the Scotch
say.
AS the dog did not appear we went together
to look for him and found him sitting before
the kitchen fire with the end of the plaid in his
mouth holding it up to dry. l expressed INV
admiration of his intelligence, and the master
replied:
"Ah. he's a canny creature, sir. He know a
mony things, does thot dog, sir. But come
ava, mon; the gentleman wants to make your
picture"
So we returned to my room, and the hand
some coolie sat for his portrait.

Ferdinand Ward, probably the most
famous criminal on this continent, who
dragged the name Of an ex-President of the
United States into swindling financial"
firm, will be discharged from the Sing Sing
IN. " penitentiary on April 80. What the
ex-Napoleon Of finance will set about doing
for living when he is free is a question of
interest. During his confinement he has
become an expert and artistic job printer,
but he will hardly devote himself to that
calling. 1t is understood, however, that he
saved considerable amount OF his ill-gotten
gains, which he has placed where it will be
available when be wants 1t. II this is true,
he will probably spend the first few months
OF his freedom in seeing how much the
world has grown since he has been in prison.
