the year ending June 5Uth. 1870
of S25, $50, 1872, and an increase OF
81. 637. $40 over the previous year
and 50. 764. $40 more than in 1895.
The freight earnings were SIS
3J6,s5I; an increase of sl.5lS,lso
which increase is ascribed to the
many improvements and large
increase in equipment afforded
the patrons of the line by the Re-
ceivers and the general and in
telligent effort to increase the
traffic of abe road. The passen-
ger revenue was s5,059,0o1. a de-
crease of S256.94l, 10000 more
than was earned in 1895. The
miscellaneous earnings incrcas-
ed 1878. 749, of which increase
the elevators contributed 1896.
TO, they earned S5l4,l2 in 1897
against SlS7, 1856 in 1896.
The total expense of the line
were S2o;0l2,O93. an increase of
32,42S, 673. This increase is very
frankly explained by the state.
ment of the large sums required
in maintenance of equipment.
The Receivers have replaced a
large number of old bridges built
many years ago with modern
steel structures capable of carry
ing the heaviest trains. 1t was
found absolutely necessary to
arch a large number of tunnels
and to place in the track much
more than the normal amount of
new steel rails. cross ties and
ballast. AS an illustration of
such expenditures it may be
mentioned that the entire Wash
ington Branch was relaid with
steel rail, the ties largely re-
newed and a large amount of
stone ballast put in, the entire
earnings Of this branch having
been used to put its roadway in
perfect condition.
In the report of the General
Manager is found detailed
statement OF the expenditures
which were charged to mainten.
ance of way. A portion Of the
general increase was caused by
the unusual expense for main
tenance of equipment. the Re.
ceivers.having placed in thorough
repair all of the cars and engines
of the company which could be
profitably put in condition.
These expenditures amounted to
sos, 63S more than in 1896. and
to 81 ,429, 1876 more than in 1895.
The deficit for the year was ST.
liz, l39, but had it not been for
the increase in expenses of main
tenance of way and maintenance
of equipment the earnings would
have been more than sufficient to
have paid the interest on the

bonded Indebtedness Of the road.
The aggregate expenses for
construction and betterments for
the twelve months have been
81, 1895, 496, an increase of 81. 1885,
369, and this amount has been
charged to the different invest
ment accounts to which the ex-
penditures appertained. The
trust fund derived from the sale
OF terminal mortgage bonds. the
use OF which is restricted to
making certain Improvements,
was used substantially at two
points, namely, Pittsburg and
Glenwood terminal, and the
shops, round house, yard, ETC., at
Cum berland. The grades and
alignment of the road between
Baltimore and Cumberland have
been much improved, ard as a
consequence of this improvement
the tnain loads on these divisions
have been increased at least 30
per cent.
AT Locust Point new docks,
aud two berths for ocean steam.
ships have been constructed and
an old pier rearranged. and the
officers of the Receivers estimate
that the cost will be saved IN a
single year in tie reduced ex-
pense of unloading incoming
vessels. Large expenditures
have also been made at Locust
Point in rearranging the yards
and more than four times the in
terest upon the cost is already
saved in the reduction of switch
ing charges. A large number OF
other Improvements have been
made, all of which tended to
lessening the cost of operation
and to facilitate the handling of
traffic.
The report shows radical re.
duction made in the amount OF
the credit of profit and loss. A
special committee of the board
was appointed to examine the
assets of the company and re-
value the rolling stock, stocks
and bonds and certain other as
sets. This committee made a
radical reduction in the value of
the rolling stock, stocks and
bonds and advances for con-
struction to the various subordi-
nate lines during the years past,
and certain other assets of the
company, reducing the total to
the credit of Profit and Loss by
about 800. 100000. The balance
sheet gives a very clear and full
statement of the assets and liza
bilities of the company,
One of the features of the re-
port is the tables, and several
are quite new. One shows the
earnings and expenses of all d.
visions, east and west of the Ohio
river, and an other gives an &C
curate list of the stocks and

DON'T KERP A FERRET.
ii You Do You viii Get Into Trouble.

We hear every day about some
of our local sportsmen hunting
rabbits with ferrets. Stories of
how parties have been known to
catch from twenty to fifty rabbits
in one day with ferrets are cur
rently reported. This is done in
a civilized community, in the
face OF a statute passed by the
last legislature, which prohibits
a person from having ferret in
his possession. or to hunt rabbits
with one, fixes the fine in each
case from s. to $50. This law
should be enforced. Rabbits
have become scarce in all the
older settled communities, they
do no damage and are about the
only game left, and they should
be protected from this wholesale
slaughter. 1t is the duty of
every good citizen to present any
person to the grand jury who IS
known to keep a ferret to be used
in hunting. One or two examples
will break up this practice.
Good laws will avail nothing
unless it is enforced. Every true
sportsman should assist in crowd
ing ont theIferrets.

The spanish situation is in very

has come TO the surface SO far there
seems TO be more politics than patri.

II is alleged that Minister Wood
ford has intimAted 10 the Spanish gov.
erhment that the war iu Cuba must
come to an end before the 'lAst OF 0e'

been selected ss the date for the con-
clusion OF hostihties? Is there any
reason why October should be selected
rather than September Is there any
reason why this demand should be
made now aud should rot have been
made six months ago.
The Republican state convention OF
Ohio adopted strong resolution fav-
oring the Cubans This resolution wAs
passed June 70 last, but nothing has
been done TO make that resolution
operative in any way antil now, and
now the date OF action has bsen post
poned until the last Of October. There
