1t will be noticed first, that the operat-
| ing expenses, which included new cars,
motors, / snow plough, / mile new

gross earnings, and secoud, that the net
earnings were sufficient to pay the in

this new block of 1920, 900, twice ouer.
| 1t is conservatively estimated that the
increase in earnings and decrease in ex-
penses (due to electricity will be at
least sufficient to pay interest on the

present large earnings.
The capital stock is $500, 900, which sells
in the home market at lis to 120 and
pays per cent dividends. The surplus
is over $4,000.
An experts estimate of the savings to
to the road, by making the change to

would have in 1892, is at least $3.50, 600,
due to present low prices of rails, motors

THE PRESS.
WEDNESDAY. MAY 20.

Senator Palmer of Illinois expresses the
opinion that the silver agitation is on the
decline. There is still enough of it, how
ever, to set the New York chamber of
commerce to work to combat it, and it is
evidently very far from death. The ap-
parent approach of better times has had a
tendency, perhaps, to check it somewhat,
but good deal more of revival of
business than is yet in sight will be
needed to stop it altogether.
The Portland daily press., 1895-05-29

The New York police organization has
been torn to pieces by the retirement of
two of it's most prominent officials who
were smirched by the Lexow investiga-
ton. Probably their retirement was a
condition precedent for any honest and
thorough reconstruction of the force
for it would be absurd to expect efficient
discipline, such as is needed, from officers
themselves tainted with suspicion. But
the task of reconstructing the force is
going to be difficult one 1t is not
going to be easy to find a man competent
to manage and direct body of men as
large as the New York police force and
exposed to such temptations as con-
stantly beset it. 1t is fortunate that the
reorganization is in the hands of a man
of the independence, knowledge and in
compatibility of Commissioner Roosevelt
The Portland daily press., 1895-05-29

The various explanations of Secretary
Carlisle's vote for free coinage when he
was member of Congress which are
being put out by his friends are none of
them creditable to him. One story is that
he voted for free coinage in the House
because he thought that the Senate would
kill it. Another is that he voted for it in
order to 'sput the Republicans in hole, A"
in other words he was playing politics
with the currency The only creditable
explanation of his vote is that he believed
in free coinage. Any other reason shows
that he was false to one of the country S
most important interests. 1t is no dis
credit for man to change his mind, and
Carlisles friends would do him better
service by thus explaining the Secretary S
change of attitude on the silver question.

A FRESNO|TE'S SAD ERROR,
Bartender Back Mistook His
Wife for a Burglar and
Shot Her.
Two Bullets Took Effect, and One
May Result In the Woman's
Death.

FRESNO, CAL, Sept. 3.-Martin Back
this morning shot and probably fatally
wounded his wife, whom he mistook for a
burglar.
Back is a bartender in an uptown saloon.
Last night he drew his months wages.
He was very much in fear that burglars
would enter the house and steal the money.
Before he shot his wife he had been up
twice. looking for imaginary burglars.
Mrs. Back got up to get drink of water,
and as she returned, though walking
stealthily to avoid arousing her husband
the creaking of the floor Awakened him
Back suddenly arose, and seeing the form
of person in the room, grabbed his pistol.
which was lying on chair beside the bed,
and fired two shots in succession at his
wife. One took effect in the right arm and
the other in the right breast.
Mrs. Back is resting quite easily tonight,
but the wound in the breast is serious
one. Mr.. and Mrs. Back are Germans,
and were married only few months ago.
