RAILROAD EARNINGS.
Several Big Systems Failed to Declare
 Semi-Annual Dividends.

Several Big Systems Failed to Declare
 Semi-AnnuaI DiVidends.
 Operating expenses and how to con- trol them in face of heavy losses in gross earnings seem to be more se- rious questions for the southern roads to solve than for many of the larger systems in the North. Take the Louis ample. The decrease in it's gross earn ings for ten months of It's current fis- cal year will amount to some S4.00O, 900, but its reduction in operating ex- penses will not amount to anything like this sum.
 In April the decrease in gross earn ings was over $7o0.00o, but all the re- duction in operating expenses that could be brought about was $25O,0O0 making the loss in net earnings some $500. 900. Gross earnings of this road in April were $200.000 below those of March and s5o,0 ,000 below those of Feb ruary
 New York Dispatch, June 2O.-Di- rectors of the Lake Erie and Western Railway company, Vanderbilt line, to- day omitted the semi-annual dividend on the company's preferred stock. The last semi-annual dividend paR1 was per cent. Directors of the Cleveland, Cincinnati. Chicago & St. Louis Rail- way company another Vanderbilt line, today omitted the semi annual dividend on the common stock. year ago 2 per cent was declared, and six months ago 1 per cent.
 Melville E. Ingalls,. chairman of the board of directors of the Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago & St. Louis road. said: 'aThe Big Four might have de- clared a dividend. I think that one will be earned by the end of the year; but, considering the state of business. the directors did not want to take the responsibility of paying one. The road is in splendid condition, and its new fa- cilities would make 1t a big money ma ker with any ordinary volume of bus mess.
 Austin, Tex, Dispatch.-H c, Askew chief statistician of the association of railroads of Texas. today issued a statement of the earnings and expen- ses of the 23 largest lines in Texas for the first nine months of the current fiscal year, which ends June 30. For the same period last year the surplus for the same roads over operating ex- penses, according to Mir. Askew's hg- ures, was S7, 05s, 900 while this year the deficit is given at S5, ,420,2O6. The gross earnings for the nine months of this year were 866, 100000. a decrease of S5,- 942.777. The operating expenses were s52.447,111. an increase of $S.3iS,S5S.

COURT SETTLED PAYMENT
 OF AN INSURANCE POLICY

But two cases were yesterday heard in the Circuit Court, a number of eases were. however, continued and reset for today. The first case to engage the attention of the court was that of N. J. Bell vs The Travellers Insurance Company in the matter of policy for $2,000 on the life of the late w. H. Bell.
 The Insurance Company claimed that during his lifetime w. H. Bell had as- signed the policy to N. J. Bell. although the policy was made payable to w. il. Bells administrators. The Insurance Company admitted an Indebtedness or 1,96354. and that the suit was but for their protection. The court therefore rendered a Judgment for $l,963.54 in favor of N.cJ. Bell.
 The second case to occupy the atten- ton of the court was that of an ap- peal from the decision of Justice of the Peace, J. B. Fuller in the matter Of Charles M Pfeifer vs. J. D. Hendrix ct al. A judgment was rendered in favor of the plaintiff for $67.6O.
 It. is stated that the session of the court will in alls probability be com pleted with the session which will end this afternoon.

IMPROVING WELLS.
COMPANY IS ovERHAULING CITY's WELLS.
Fine Supply of City Water wiIl Be Im- proved by the Work on
 the Arteaiam Wells.

It is possible that all of the artesian wells of Montgomery will be overhaul ed within short period and steps taken to further improve the excellent water supply of the, city. Mir. Nicker- son, of the Hudson Engineering com- pany, is at present engaged in. putting in working order two of the wells of the city which have been out of con- mission for considerable time, and in the event that his efforts prove sat- isfactorys itsis intended to thoroughly overhaul all of the artesian wells of Montgomery. The work being now done upon the two wells is thus far more of an experiment than for the purpose of increasing the already ad- .equate supply of water at the disposal of the city.
 It is interesting to know that the Hudson Company, by whom the exper- irmentaI work Is being done,fs the suc- cessor of the company which bored the artesian wells of, Montgomery, creat- ing water supply which has received more favorable comment than that of almost any other city. in the section.
 The company is now doing similar work in Columbus. Ga, that city hav- ing recently appropriated a sum for the iustIlation of artesian water sup- ply. 4 number of wells are being DoreQs -'-s
