HE MADE BREAK.
Officer Mooney Does His Duty
But Tackles the Wrong
Man.

Yesterday Officer John Mooney,
a very careful, experienced and eff
Glen. officer, accosted a certain gentle.
man-Mr. Henry Steinberger, d
travelling man, whom he took to be o
crook he was on the watch for.
He was asked by the policeman il
he had ANYTHING by which to identify
himself. The Suspect" said he had,
and produced a notebook showing
wherein he had taken orders from d.
/. HOlcomb and Others.
The two, according to Officer
Mooney, agreed to 60 to a certain
hotel in the city, where the suspect
could be identified.
As soon as they emerged from the
place where the "standup'
was made, the travelling
man-according to the officers state.
started to run, whereupon Mr..
Moneys suspicious were freshened.
1t transpired, however, that the
gentleman, whose name is Henry
Steinberger-was all right. For the
past fifteen years he had been visiting
Sedalia as travelling salesman.
Officer Mooney had simply made a
mistake.
The BAzoo learns, however, that
Mr.. Steinberger declares that Mr..
Mooney drew q revolver on him; also
that he. Steinberger, proposes to
'roast" the officer in a morning con-
temporary, this morning.

quickly dispatched by a ball from the

Mr.. Beatty SAYS that not only his
own dog. but Others in the neighbor-

ANNUAL REPORT OF ERIE.

IueSudy, NONPnlDcT -c-p Ill
The annual report OF the New-York. Lake
Erie and Western Railroad Company for It's
fiscal year ended September 80 shows a de-
crease in gross earnings OF 81 .293.li4, but an
absolute increase OF 1871 in net earnings, while
the surplus revenue resulting from the years
operations was s9l7.43S. against $133,26O In 1892
and sl,005,37S in the preceding year. In the
circumstances this must be considered n remark
able exhibit 1t should be observed that while
the property passed INTO the hands OF receivers
on July 26. the report covers the whole fiscal
year The principal falling off in the gross
earnings of the system occurred in the general
freight tariff. while the receipts from the coal
account were nearly as large they were In
the previous year, and the passenger earnings
were materially increased. The loss In Operat-
ing the New-Yorl, Pennsylvania and Ohio Rail-
road was reduced from s425Sss in 1892 10 $751;
1o6 The business Of the Erie proper or ex-
Guiding the New-York. Pennsylvania and Ohio
showed q decrease in gross earnings OF SIZES
257, or nearly per cent and a decrease In net
earnings Of only s20oS91 or 2G7 per cent The
ratio Of working expenses TO gross earnings
was 65. 81, against 66 70 In the preceding year. and
on the New York. Pennsylvania and Ohio 1t was
70 o. against 1913 per cent. On freight traffic
the rae, per ton a mile raised To .632 cent
from 6s2 In 1892, and 1888 cent in the preceding
earnings per passenger a mile. The ternina-
ton of the contract with the Lehigh Valley
Railroad caused little actual loss In the coal
traffic because the company supplied the local
pany paid $1,O5S155 on account OF engine and
trusts

suits of the last three year.
