A Vanderbilt Institution.

All books and papers relating to the
transfer of the Lake Erie & Western to
the Vanderbilt people were, on Saturday,
removed TO the Office Of the New York
Central at New York city. rhe tis';d ycai
with this road ended with Dec. 81. and a
preliminary showing of Lake Erie & West
ern's income account for the year 1899
makes the gross earnings 50, 600. 'operat-
ing expense s2.165.oO0. and net earnings
81, 735OO0. Taxes, fixed charges and rentals
are stated at $14S.0oO, so that apparently
nearly $1000.OO0 remains to the good. The
further statement is made that during the
year 100000 was expended for improve
ments, including five new locomotives and
1000 freight cars.
The income thus exhibited for 1899 is
somewhat in excess of that realized In
1898, though the gain appears hardly TO
be commensurate with that of many other
companies more favorably situated. In
1898, with gross earnings soma SiOO.1UO it ss
thar now reported for 1889. op, it:'g ex-
penses some 100000 less, and charges of
all kinds about the same, a surplus of
$4,000. applicable to dividends. was
brought out. as compared with $SS7,OO0 now
indicated for 1899. The company thus APP
pears to be about $250.OOO better off than
last year, because Of the revival of bus
mess activity. The surplus is equivalent
to the full per cent. for which the pre-
ferred stock has preference, and TO APP
proximately 2h per cent on the common
stock. In 1898, with a balance of $719, 900
available for dividends, the former man.
agement paid out only 3A per cent. on the
preferred shares, carrying to the credit
of profit and loss surplus of $4,000. Con-
sidering the need of further improvements
in the track and additional freight equip
ment and motive power, and considering
also the Lake Shores well-established
financial policy, the presumption is that
1 axe l1rie & West era's surp,us II come
for some time to come will be devoted to
the Improvement of the plant. The COM
pany's business suffered materially in
1898 through the lack of freight cars, and
the past year has not bettered the con-
d'tion rar'Icuiarly in this rcsp,ct.
On Tuesday w. ii. Newman, the newly
elected president of the company, will,
with vice president Bradbury and subordi-
nate officers. start on a general inspection
of the property.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Jan. Is. - Robert
Emmett. well known in knights of Pythias
circles, having held the rank OF senior aid
de-camp in the Grand Lodge. died at his
home here tonight of paralysis. His death
was due to an accident five months ago,
when he was run down by a fire-depart-
ment wagon. He was sixty years of age.
Major Emmett was widely known In In
dianapolis and popular among those who
knew him. At the outbreak of the civil war
he entered New York regiment, and. re-
firing with the rank Of major. he came
here. He was engaged in the railroad bust
ness prior to the war, and on his removal TO
this city took up that business. He was
for many years district passenger agent OF
the Vandalia system and Is well known TO
all the older railroad men OF the city. In
the last two years of his residence here he
was district passenger agent for the Mo
non Railway. which position he resigned IN
1883 to go to Kansas City. He took an &C
tive part i'm the early organization OF the
National Guard Of Indiana, having been
assistant adjutant general on Governor
Porter's staff at the same time General
Carnahan was adjutant general or the

Pythianism, having been member OF the
Uniform Rank for many years. He was

AN increase In TONNAGE
NEARLY 10000 LOADED CARS HAN
DIED IN THE CITY LAST WEEK.
Preliminary Earning Exhibit OF the
Lake Erie & Western for 1872
Personal and General Notes.

The train records show that In the week
ending Jan. 10 there were received and
forwarded at Indianapolis a total of 2i.s1s
cars, 1918 being loaded. an increase over
the week ended Jan. of 2.s22 loaded cars
and 3a more than in the corresponding
week of 1899. but 1907 fewer loaded cars
than in the corresponding week OF 1895.
This Is accounted for in the fact that at
that time the roads were carrying grain
from st. Louis 10 the Atlantic coast at II
cents per 100 pounds, 10 cents below the
present rate, In their fight against the gulf
export lines. Going back OF 1898, there
were handled at Indianapolis last week
2.5S5 more loaded cars than In 1897. 4.261
more than I'm 1896. 1887 more than I'm 1895
and .2,522 more than In 1894. The present
volume OF business is considerably above
the average OF years past in January.
While shipments Of grain are light as COM
pared with former years. the shipments
East Of many other commodity freights
are in excess of former years. and the
shipments of live stock, dressed meats
and provisions are now the heaviest ever
known in a winter month. West-bound. in
the higher-class freights. there has been a
decrease since the holidays. but this is
usually the case through January. an i'm
provement setting in with February. In
no winter since 1892 have the shipments Of
coal and coke from Pennsylvania, West
Virginia and Ohio been as heavy as at
present. Local business is surprise TO the
freight men. To keep a full complement
of platform men, some days working over
time. In January is unprecedented; still,
last week such was the case, and, despite
two rainy days. the merchants and manu-
facturers seldom ship more goods In a
week. The rains checked shipments of
corn. but did not affect other classes of
freight. The packing houses, the stock
yards and the cerealine mills are heavy
shippers. Large cars for carrying furni-
ture. vehicles and bulky freights are in
better supply, and local manufacturers are
loading them as fast as placed. The table
below shows the number of loaded cars
handled at this point for the week ending
Jan. 13 and for the corresponding weeks
of 1899 and 1893:

Receiver Hunt of the Toledo, st. Louis
& Kansas City, i'm his report for the first
twelve months of his receivership shows
an increase of 56.S per cent in the net earn
ings of the road. despite the fact that there
was decrease in the gross earnings of 46
per cent. for the same period. The first
mortgage bondholders claim that this dem.
onstrates tnat the property will be able
to take care of the $l0.000.000 bonds pro-
vided in the reorganization plan of the

The Kansas City & Leavenworth Elec-
trio Railway Company will open its road
for general traffic on Tuesday The last
trial trip over the road was made on Satur-
day The building of this line is thought
TO be only the beginning OF a great inter
urban railway system centering in the city
at the mouth of the Kaw. Should the new
line prove a good investment il is more
than probable that all the towns and
cities within radius of sixty miles OF Kan
sas City will be connected with one big
electric rapid transit system. Right of way
and franchises have already been secured
for a similar line between Topeka and Kan
sas City.
The promoters of the Columbus. Bloom
