Mo1rNrATN RETREAT


 Dr. W. G. filling starts this morning for Mountain Retreat, North Carolina, to superintend the building of his cot tage. There is quite a number of New Haven people who have land at that already famous resort and numbers more are contemplating building there. There are now twelve cottages in pro- cess of building and the prospect is that before long many more will be added to the number of residents. c. c. Lord of this city is sojourning there and purposes making it his permanent residence, as the climate, which is rarely equalled anywhere and sur passed nowhere, is very beneficial to him. Mountain Retreat is most beauti- fully situated at an elevation of 5000 feet above the sea level, and for fine scenery, pure invigorating air and equable temperature it is all that could be desired During the winter as well as summer the climate is mild and healthful; in winter there is scarcely any snow and in summer the breezes which perpetually fan the little settle ment render the days enjoyable and free from the scorching heat which prevails in other places. Dr. filling ex- poets to return home in about two weeks

A GREAT RAILROAD.

The annual report of President Clark of the Consolidated road is a very in- teresting document and suggests the great size and immense business of the company In ten years the gross re- ceipts have increased from $10,000, 900 to over $31, ,000. Meanwhile the net re- ceipts have grown from $1,600,000 to $4,000,0 GOO. With the decline in charges the ratio of profits has not kept pace with the increase of receipts. This is true of all business.
 The reserve resources of the company are however suggested by the fact that about $3,5OO,000 was charged to oper- ating expenses last year for renewal of locomotives, cars, etc, and over $3,S00,- ,- 900 for maintenance / of roadway and structures. The danger in railroad ac- counts comes when all such expendi- lures are run into construction and added to capital. Figuring in this con- servative way, the company pays it's 8 per cent. for the year and has about $100,0 to the good. It is interesting to note that station service" with $2,617,- 900 makes the largest single item in the operating ehpeiSe5. IIOUdDly LnlS lIl- cludes the charge for the use of the Grand Central. When that depot was built, it was given out that this com pany was to pay the New York Ger tral as rental I per cent. on half of the cost. As interest has fallen from the Central from to 31h per cent. it fol- lows that, if that contract made years ago still holds the "Consoldated' is now really paying the interest on not only half but the whole of the cost. The following is the statement of the total capital and the amount absorbed of the leased lines:

To absorb this $Il ,29O5O0 of capital the present road has issued $7,S71, ,000 of it's own stock. It has also absorbed the entire stock of the New York, Providence and Boston, the Hartford and Connecticut Valley, the Shore Line, the Housatonic, the Stamford and New Canaan and for this is has issued ST. oil, 400 of new stock, making $14,SS2, 800 of it's present capital issued for stock of other lines. The Old Colony and Naugatuck alone of these are not own- ed to the extent of a majority of their stock. The New England affair is not included in these.-Hartford Courant.

ON A BRIDGE
A Midway May be Established for
the Ohio Centennial,

There is deal on whereby several
of the leading railroads entering To-
ledo, including the Lake Shore, Michi-
gan Central and G. H. & D., may enter
into a combination for the purchase Of
Presque Isle or tract in that vicinity
where a terminal and depot for the
Centennial may be established. 1t is
proposed to connect with Bay View
park either by ferry or monster bridge.
The bridge can be secured without cost
to the city or Centennial company, as
certain New York capitalists, it is said,
will erect the structure, il permitted,
and they propose to make it pay by
establishing on the bridge a kind OF u
midway with booths. Such feature,
it is thought, would be greater at
traction than either the Ferris wheel
or the Eiffel tower and would be a
money maker from the start.

The Standard OIL Com Dany seems to
be an eye sore to Attorney General
Monnett, as he seems to be making des-
perate efforts to prevent that company
doing business in Ohio, having COM
menced proceedings in the Supreme
Court with that object in view. What
ever may be his motive in the case it is
certainty that if he succeeds In his
object it will work great injury TO
thousands of employees and prevent the
expenditure of thousands of dollars
every month among the people of the
State. The Ohio and Buckeye Oil
companies, both of which are Standard
companies, have worked wonders in the
development of this section and should
be encouraged instead OF driven out Of
the State.
