1T COSTS 35 MILLIONS.
An Enormous Sum Spent In Rebuilding
and Re-equipping the II. & o. X. x.

The receivership of the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad, which has just come
to a close, was remarkable in many
ways. Messrs. Cowen and Murray did
not follow precedent, but went ahead
and placed the property in first-class
shape, instead OF attempting TO main
tain it in the condition that they found
it. OF course the receivers were up
held by majority of the security hold
erS and the court, but the Baltimore
and Ohio receivership marked an epoch
in such affairs that will be historical.
The vast sums expended were put out
in go and 81, when trade was at low
ebb and money scarce. During their
administration the receivers purchased
1880 box cars, 6.I51 wooden gondola
cars, 5000 pressed steel cars, 80 mis-
and dining car equipment, at total
cost of ST. 900 600 The 216 locomotives
cost nearly two and one-haIf millions.
The steel rail purchased amounted to
123,O10 tons, costing $2,142,152, and
there were bought over 1900, 900 cross
ties, costing Sl,200,O0O, and 10000
cubic yards of ballast amounting 20
S525 900. The new steel bridges aSgre-
gate in value $4,000. and July as
much more was spent in improving the
several terminals. erecting new build
ings, reducing grades and changing the
alignment. The maintenance OF way
payrolls, or the amount paid directly
TO men employed in making improve
ments on the tracks. etc, in three
years was nearly twelve millions of
dollars. The total amounts to about
S35, 600, 900, of which about SIS, 000, 900
were secured by the issuance of receiv-
ers' certificates and the balance
through car trusts, earnings from the
property and from the reorganiza ton
managers. Most of the purchases of
equipment and rail were made when
material was low in price and manu-
featuring concerns were in great need
of orders to keep their plants in OPP
Grafton. Steel rails are worth now from
Sc to 50 ton more than when the re-
ceivers made their purchases, and To-
comotives have advanced from $4,000
to 1000 in price. The equipment
alone. if purchased today, would cost
S. 900 900 more and the other improve
ments 81, 900 900 more. President Cow
en- is authority for the statement that
the new company intends spending
S1O.OOO,0OO more in improvements in
the next wear or two.

tation of her sentence to imprison-
ment for life One hundred members
of the house of commons signed an
application TO the home secretary
asking for reprieve and an application
in her favor was even made to the
queen personally. In spite of all, how
ever, the sentence was carried out.
The girl poisoned her imbecile sister
in order to obtain $50 insurance on her
life, which she needed for wedding
expenses. Her betrothed husband sat
by her side during the trial.

PROFITS FROM THE SEA.
Estimate Value OF Fisheries Product O
the North Sea,


The average value of the product of
agricultural lands per acre or square
mile is often computed, but probably
few of us have seen similar computa-
tions relating to the sea. Prof. Heusens
writing in the German geographical
periodical, Globus, has figured out an
average of this sort for the North sea,
which is we'll known to be one of the
worlds great sources of value derived
from fisheries. He says the value Of
fish caught in the North sea yearly by
the countries bordering it is about
SAL 900 900 The yearly catch is never
known to be less than $37 800, 900 nor
more than $45,00O,O00. The North sea,
including the Skager Rak or gulf be-
tween the southern part of Norway
and Sweden, has an area of 225,SS4
square miles, and therefore the average
value of the North sea fisheries each
year is $1S.15 for every square mile of
the sea. England and Scotland take
the lions share of the wealth of these
waters, the annual value of the English
fisheries being about $21 $50 900; Scot
land, $3.50, 600; Holland, s4,750,O00;
France, S3,120,O00; Germany, S250O,-
900; Norway, $95O,OOO; Belgium, 5000.
900; Denmark, 100000 Thus ali the
nations around the North sea share in
the wealth it yields, and it gives some
idea of the direct monetary value Of
this great watery waste to know that
every square mile of it adds over SIS
a year to the production of the nations
living along its edge.-New York Sun
