foih-Kcsust or Acqui,ition.

The reports OF the various railroad
lines in the United States for the calen-
OAR year of 1899 shows that the earn
ings of the Southern roads increased
l04 per cent. This was exceeded only
by the Changers" and the coal carry
ing systems. This remarkable showing
is made i'll spite OF the fact that the
cotton movement was much smaller
during the season than in 1898, indicat-
Ing that miscellaneous freight traffic
has very largely expanded. The earn
ings OF the principal systems OF the
country show an increase in the aggre-
gate of but o. per cent, the Southern
roads exceeding this.
Among tho individual gains shown in
the Southern group, the following may
be especially mentioned; Southern, g.
$4,000: Louisville and Nashville, 49,
$4,000; Mobile and Ohio, S1,226, 600;
Central of Georgia, 100000; Nashville,
Chattanooga and st. Louis. $lS4OOO:
Chesapeake and Ohio i$5l5. 600; Norfolk
and Western. 81 ,347 900. In the case of
the Illinois Central the earnings for the
entire system amounted to $29, sos, 900
n gain of S2,2GS.00O y large portion of
TINS can be properly included in the
earnings of the Southern group.
Altogether, the statistics are very en-
couraging to Investors i'm railroad
properties in the South, as they show
not only the healthy condition of traf-
lie. but are partly the results of able
ana conservative management.
UP COAL RIVER VALLEY.
The valley of the Coal river i'm West
Virginia will be opened by the con-
structon OF tho pocahontas, Coal
River and Kanawha Railroad. which is
to be constructed from St Adams. w.

Chesapeake and Ohio system. In a let
ter To the Manufacturers Record. c.
G. Watts, OF Charleston, W. Va, pres
idcnt Of the railroad company, writes
that the equitable Construction Com
pany has been formed to build the
distance mentioned. and has already
begun work. Mr.. Watts states that the
building OF this line will cause the
opening OF several mines of what is
known as tho BLACK Band" coal, and
mat several lumber companies will es-
tabiish plants also in this portion of
the State. New York capitalists are
reported as interested in the develop
ment of the coal properties.

new CHARTER.
Associated Press to Be Re-
organized Under Laws Of
the State Of New York.

New York, May PA charter was
issued at Albany. n. Y. yesterday to
the following named gentlemen as in
corporators of a news gathering or
ganization TO be called The Associated
Press:
Stephen O'Meara of the Boston Jour
nal; Adolph s. Ochs. OF the New YORK
Times: st. Clair Mckelway of the
Brooklyn Eagle: William l.. Mclean
of the Philadelphia Bulletin; Frank
Il. Noyes of the Washington Star and
A. III. Belo of the Galveston Daily
News and Dallas Daily News.
The membership of the corporation
is to consist OF and to be limited to the
proprietors Of newspapers. 1t is to be
purely mutual and cooperative. to
make no profit and to declare no divi-
dends, is not TO sell news. but is TO coll
lect for and distribute TO its MEM
bers only. Its operations and member
ship will cover the entire country.
One OF the incorporators said: The
decision of the supreme court OF Illinois
has swept away a number of the fun
damental principles of the association
with which we have been connected
and has made IL impossible for thar
organization to go on and meet the
needs TO fulfill the desires OF it's MEM
bers. Weshave looked about for some
plan and in full accord with practically
all our associates have concluded to or
ganize a new Associated Press under
the laws OF New York. We have in
mind simply to carry into this new
corporation all the principles that gave
character to the old one, to make no
changes whatever i'm the fundamental
theories. to preserve intact all the
rights OF individual members, and In
general. to find a more congenial domi-
cile than Illinois afforded. The men
engaged I'm the work OF Incorporate tion
are simply acting as trustees for their
associates until the plan can be so far
perfected as to turn II over 10 fully
qualified membership"
