STREET OAKS SORE.
The Council Gets a Little Nearer to a" Street Uar Ordinance—A Fall Report from Ex-Superintendent Oarr.
The council met early last Monday evening. TLie first business wus hearing the annual and final report of W. C. Carr, the retiring superintendent of the electric light plant. Mij. Carr's repoit was miles long and we can only give a few of the most interesting facts and figures. The total number of incandescent lamps in use is 2,215 sixteen canale, iC twenty-fours, 27 thirty-twos, and 10 sixties. Sixtv-threc customers use meters.
The original cost of lamps and fixtures was $1,398.17, of renewals, $376.35.
The total earnings for the year ending May 1, 1893, were $6,878.26. The collections up to May 18, 1893, were §7,312.58 due p,nd uncollected, §1,409.03 and uncollectable, $39.76.
The total amount of supplies purchased amount to $12,005.9-1 the present inventory shows amount on hand §2,198.48, and the cost of wiring has been §9,807.46,
According to the report made July 1, 1892, the total cost of the plant was §63,754.65. Add to this the cost of wiring and §3,396.40, the amount of material and labor added to the plant since July 1, '92, and the total cost of the plant to date is shown to be §76, 958.51.
The operating expenses from July 1, '92, to May 1, '93, were §9,796.12, and tlieearnings for the same period were §5,979.76. The excess of expenses over the earnings is §3,816.36.
The number of arc lights on the streets is 142, making the cost of each light §2.69 per month or §32.28 a year.
The report was listened to attentively and referred to the finance committee. Mr. Carr was allowed §69 for salary and oilice furniture.
W. M, White was allowed §5.00 for type writing a street car ordinance. W. N. McCampbell asked the privilege of building a culvert in the alley at the rear of his establishment. Beferred to board of public improvements.
Then tho street car question came up. The clerk read the two ordinances, the first one which was suitable to Mr. Ramsey and his people and the second which was framed on the ideas of the mysterious Cincinnati syndicate. The latter is the most favorable for the city and Mr. Ramsey who was present said if the council could get any company to accept it he would advise its adoption. But his people, he said, could not accept it. The main difference between the two ordinances is in the quality and style of rails to be used. Both require the company to pave between the tracks but not outside. Mr. Reynolds said that the Cincinnati company was reliable and he thought acting in good faith, but there was a disposition in the council to favor Mr. Ramsey because they knew him and knew that he would push things and at all times act for the best interests. On the other hand it was feared that the other company woulu sell the franchise if they obtained it.
After the council adjourned the police board, Bandel, Campbell, Smith and Tomlinson, met. They decided to make Marshal Brothers first in authority absoluely, Jim Grimes second and 01 Gill, third. Grimes' hours were changed from all day to from noon to midnight. Officer Milholland was put down town Officer Transue transferred to the Junction beat. The matter of uniforming the forc3 was discussed and it is likely that some such action will be taken in the near future.
The Catalogues Are Out.
The annual catalogue of the Montgomery county fair is out, an edition of five thousand having been printed at THE JOURNAL office. It is a neat job, like all that are printed in this establishment. Secretary Morgan is mailing them as fast as possible.
A Lareje Mushroon.
D. L. Sullivan is the proud possessor of tlie largest mushroon gathered this season. It was found on the farm of Rev. Stafford east of the city by Dr. Berryman and weighs one and one-lialf pounds.

RAILROADS.
Waste of Power and Friction—Revenues if the Railways. (Copyright resorvod.l
Great as the burden of tribute is we are made to pay abroad on account of the selfish and irresponsible control of the railways by which 6ixty or more per cent, of fictitious capital is added to the system, there is another and perhaps even a greater burden imposed on the country by the railways.
There is an erroneous waste of power, useless wear and friction of road bed and machinery under the conflicting and rival management of the system under private ownership. This useless waste of power and friction, is probably greater than the power and friction used in the business actually done.
The Inter State Commerce Commission report the number of cars the property of the railroads at 1,215,611. Of this number about 2,9,000 are passenger cars. There are cars used on the roads that belong to the shippers, the number of this class ot cars is not given. If we assume that they number one-half as many as the passenger cars, the number of freight cars would be in round numbers 1,200,000.
The number of tons of freight carried one mile during the year ending June 30, 1892, was (81,073,784,121,) eighty-one billions, seventy-three millions, seven hundred and eighty-four thousand, one hundred and twenty-one tons.
Dividing this number by the number of cars 1,200,000, gives the number of tons each car moved one mile on the average, at 67,561 tons during the year of 313 days but as a matter of fact, there is an immense amount of freight moved on the fifty-two Sundays, but making the calculation as if no freight was hauled on Sunday we have 216 as the number of tons each car carried one mile each of the 313 working days in the year. If each car on the average is used ten hours out of every twenty-four and travels twelye miles an hour, it would carry its freight 129 miles a day. If it was loaded with one ton and 1,600 pound of freight it would carry 216 one mile a day.
This is not any more than a farmer hauls on a two horse wagon. On the average the capacity of freight cars is not less than 12 tons, and on an average they carry about 13.33 per cent, of what they could carry. What the weight of freight cars is cannot be given with any accuracy, but it is safely within the limits of the fact to say that the weight is not leBS than six tons on an average, and at this rate they haul 3J tons of dead freight for every ton of paying freight they haul, not including the locomotive and tender, which, if added would make the disparity between the power and waste to haul a ton of freight, and dead weight as more than four to one.
No precise calculation can be made of how many tons of locomotive and cars are required to each ton of freight moved, but no doubt lees than one-half now used would be sufficient if the railways of the country were subject to the control of the general government to the fullest extent.
The waste of power and the waste of friction in the passenger service is quite as great as in the freight service.
With 29.000 passenger cars in round numbers 12,844,233,881 passengers were carried one mile. On the average each car carried 442,905 passengers one mile during the year of 313 days, but here, as in freight, there is a very heavy passenger business on Sundays, espec ially in and near large citieB, but, ex eluding Sundays, each car carried 1,415 passengers one mile each day, or a small fraction less than 4.85 passengers per car, not less than a one horse hack load. This calculation is based on an average of 12 hours out of every 24, at 25 miles an hour.
The waste of power and friction in the passenger traffic is even greater than in the freight traffic, as the haulage of cars amounts to 15 tons for every ton of passengers carried.
That the calculation of 4 85 passengers on an average to the car is rather in excess than under the average, is proven by another calculation—4 85 passengers carried 300 miles at 2,142 cents per mile arr.ountB to the sum of §31.148 as the earnings per car, per day in 313 days the car would earn §9,749 33 The 29,000 cars would etra (§282,730,396,) two hundred and eighty-two million, seven hundred and thirty thousand, three hundred aud ninety-six dollars. While the passenger earnings for the year wera only §281,178,599. The correctness of oae aad four-fifths tons of freight per car can be verified in the same way.
It the railways of the country were subject to the same control that the postal system is this wastage could be very greatly reduced, which will probably not be done while the rivalry for business continues, and the roads are permitted to charge "what the traffic will bear." But notwithstanding the small amount of business done in comparison with what might be done, the earnings and income for the year ending June 30, 1891, was, as given by the Inter-State Commerce Commission §1,096,761,935. The income from investments was §133,911,126, whatever this may mean it is evidently an income separate from the four items of freight, passenger, mail, and express earnings. Those four items are given by the commission at Freight .:. $730,793,699 Pussonger 5281,179.599 Carrying mail 24.890,015 Rental i'rom express 21,594,340

dollars a year less than the annual revenue of the railroads. The value of those three crops for the year 1891 was much in excess of their average value.
This comparison shows how great and unequal the earnings of the railroads are in comparison with other industries, but it does not show it conclusively without taking into consideration the labor employed in operating the railroads.
The fifth annual report of the Commissioner of Labor is devoted to labor on the railroads. The report does not give a report of all the labor employed on all the roads, but so far as it does report its object is to make a report fairly representative of the whole system. The actual wages paid to 241,570 men is given. The report says: "These are exceedingly interesting, and from their perfectly scientific nature, very valuable, for they are the result of as perfect a classification as can possibly be made from the actual pay-rolls of the roads involved."

But I wish to state how remarkably they cure rheumatism, and how easily I was attested by rheumatism in the legs. My business (wholesale fish dealer) naturally leads me to damp places. 1 could not walk, and at night I suffered fearfully: I tried Balsams, Sarsaparillas, and all kinds of tinctures, but they did me no good and I was afraid of being a cripple, finally commenced using Brandreth's Pills. I took two every night for ten nights, then I began to improve. I continued taking them for forty days and 1 got entirely well.
