Ilcntiltn Are Conniilcrctl Snllwfiiclnry latrge I'urcliaae? of Med Italia rn!-r Contenipln tlon. The directors of tho Pennsylvania linos -ast and west of Pittsburg yesterday issued their fiftieth annual report, which shows : The Krosn earnings of the three prrand divisions ea.t of I'lttsburr .ind Erie, ombrnoinfr tho Main line. United Railroads of New Jtrsey, and Philadelphia oi Eric1 Railroad and branches, wore $C2.0T';.rio2.Cj Expenses 4J,431,aJi.ll ' Net earnings 51S.CC7.l7a.75 In view of the severe business depression prevailing during a larse portion of tho yfar. and the - consequent reduction of traffic and the sharp competition between the transportation Interests, the results may be considered, as satisfactory. After providing for all obligations ami expending atout $l..r00,000 In improving your property tho regular dividend of 3 per cent, was paid and a surplus of nearly $y)0,000 carried to tho credit of profit and loss. The number of tons of freight moved on tho three grand divisions east of Pittsburg and Erie in 1S90 was 72,lt67,125, a decrease of 5.22,401. or 6.7G per cent.; the number of passengers was 35.170,2nj, a decrease of 1.22.217. or 3.42 per cent. The other railroad companies east of Pittsburg and Erie In which your company Is IntereHttd show generally decreased earnings, due to the business depression prevailing throughout the country. Tho total amount of coal mined during the year by the four coal companies in which you ore Interested was l,7a,3!5a tons, a decrease of 232.S13 tons. LINES WEST OF PITTSBURG. On the lines west of Pittsburg operated by the Pennsylvania Company and the Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Chicago & St. luis Hallway Company the results were as follows: ISM. Earnings of Pennsylvania Company ..; J1IM2W..31 Expenses 12.111,Go4.:iO Leaving net earnings J7.312.371. 01 Rental, Interest, etc '. 7,102,9.

Chicago, & St. Louis Railway Company's line; JGG2.943.4? Net profit on lines directly operated west of Pittsburg JS72.323.33 Tho other lines west of Pittsburg, on account of which your company has assumed direct obligation?, or In which it Is largely Interested through ownership of securities, tut wnich are operated through their own organizations, show the following results: The aggregate gross earnings of theso roads were $fi.222.397.f;7 Expensed 5.0ii.9V2.9ti Net earnings $1.131. 44.71 Deduct rental, interest, ttc l,40S,i:37.96 Loss J27G.S33.23 Of this loan the Pennsylvania Railroad is responsible for f 197.T3S.0I Which deducted from the profit shown above 872,323.33 Leaves a net profit on all lines west of Pittsburg for $t)74,3S7.49 Tho results from the working of these lines emphasize the unfavorable conditions prevailing In the manufacturing inten-sts of the country, and show a large falling off in tonnage and revenue. They were, however, fully able to meet all liabilities and carry a surplus to the credit of protit and loss on each system. The amount expended on account of construction, equipment and real estnte during istH on the lines west of Pittfburg was 2.3So.099.44. The number of tons of freight moved on the lines west of Pittsburg was 45,17.U, a Decrease, of 6.202.941. The number of passengers was 16.379.2S4, a decrease of 3V.720. The gross earnings of all lines east and west or Pittsburg for tho year were $123.C34.120.19. operating expenses $vS.32l.329.39 and net earnings H". 304.. 90. 80. a decrease in gross earnings, compared with 1W. of $'.- fi.S3.223.33. and in net earnings of $1. 120.932. ?.. There were 143.192,644 tons of freight moved, bolng a decrease of 12.472,703 tons, and 71.919,s;o passengers carried, a decrease of 2.734. VA. Necessary funds were deposited in New York to purchase the $1.99, (s.s) of 7 per cent. Tlrst mortgage bonds of the St. Louis, VanIalia A, terro Haute Railroad Company which matured Jan. 1. 197. This roatl is operated under lease by the Torre Haute & Indianapolis Railroad Company, and the latter having been unable to meet Its obligations to the other lines leased by it. all its properties have been, at their instance, placed In tho hands of a receiver. Under this state of facts, although the Vandalla, Company was in no way responsible for the default of its lessee, and was fully able to moot Its own obligations, it was found Impracticable to sell its securities to advantage and thus provide the means to retire the bonds referred to. Your company has, therefore, as the indirect KUJtrnntor thereof, becomo their purchaser, and will hold them until the relations between the Terre Haute & Indianapolis Railroad Company and its leased lines are finally adjusted. The loard renews its acknowledgments to tho olflcers and employes for the fidelity and efliclenry with which they have discharged their dutiee during the past year. The number of depositors in the employes savings fund at the end of the ytar was 4.944. an increase of 431. The amount received from depositors durlng.the year was $ll,ls9.4. and the balance In the fund at tho elost of the year was $1.739y3.2?, of which $1. 700.01V) is Invested In securities bearing Interest at the; average rate of 4 per cent. The memlership of tho Employes' Relief Fund at the close of the year was 4J.S33. the largest since its establishment. During the year the members contributed $59 1. 77. 49, while the company and its affiliated lines contributed $l".i.74S.ll for operating expenses and $10,211.20 for extra benefits to members whose disability had continued more than fifty-two weeks, and who were therefore no longer entitled to regular benefits from the fund. The total receipts were $33.$i.41 and the balance on hand at the beginning of the year 2ti4,f34.i fter distributing $237,0K4S in death benefits and $313.393.V7 in cases of disability arising from sickness and accident, and meeting all its obligations and providing unadjusted death claims, a balance of $3S2I.73 was carried over to the present year. Thero were nn unusually largo number of deaths durlnir the year among officials. Including Henry D. Welsh, of the official board for many years; John Scott, for forty years the general solicitor or connected with the legal department; Robert Neilson, general superintendent cf the Northern Central, whose deaths were appropriately alluded to. and th death of President Roberts is mentioned In such a manner as to indicate that his loss is severely felt. Reform Was Xecrwsnry. 1 A few days ago It was stated that the shopmen of the Vandalla at Terre Haute were not satlsried over the more strict discipline now enforced, and the appointment of nn inspector to look after violations of rule-. An official of the road gives excellen reasons for taking such a step. He says; "We were losing about two carloads of coal a week by people stealing from the coal (lurajH, also tools, shovels, men's overalls and clothes were stolen off of engines standing in the yards; workmen's tools were taken from their locked chests, etc. At no tlniH were there less than live and often ten or twelve visitors In the shops, talking to employes. Thus v lost the services of these men while they were talking. llok agents, collectors, insurance nun. cranks, etc. infested the shops. All this caused mo to put on a watchman. Our shop rules are obsolete, and. while 1 intend to pot a pet of rules soon, we at ptvpent have none. At this point of my latter I turucd around In

my chair, and. addressing a enr repairer who happened to be in my oice, a.-ked. Rill, what do you think of rny plan of keeping collectors, up nts, t tc. out of the shoji?' He answered. 'It's a good one. and I'm glad to see it; they don't bovfcer us UUe they used to. which .-iiows the fe!ir.g of th? shopmen." Joint Traillc Hoard of Control. Following is the report uiven out at the close of the mu ting of the railroad presidents held at New York yesbrday. The meeting of tho beard of control of the Joint Traf!ic Association was fully attended. The Norfolk ci Western question wad fully considered. President Fink, of that, company, havii.g m t a committee of tho presidents nnd th result secmetl to Indicate an early adjournment. The commissioner reported improved conditions east-bound from Chicago better than at any recent period ur.d action was taken looking to appointment of committers at other Western cities to consider the status at those points. On the whole the meeting' was satisfactory to Its members and in tho judjrment of Chairman Depew tended to strengthen the belief of all parties thereto in the usefulness and permanence of the association. Resolutions eulogistic of the late Oeeirge 15. Roberts, chairman, of tho board of control an.l president of the Pennsylvania Railroad, were adoptea and ordered engrossed. Carriers Must Obey Shippers. Tho Interstate-commerce Commission has handed down a decision affecting the responsibility of a carrier for damages resulting from failure to obey a shipper's Instruction. The ca.se is that of W. R. Rea, of Verona. Miss., against the Mobile &. Ohio Railroad. He elirected the agent to ship a consignment of petatos to St. Louis via certain loute. The agent refused to so bill tho consignment and the eonseeiuent '0.3 to the consignee was ?100, Tho commission rules that the shlpp. r is entitled to have his merchandise; carried over the route which he seloeted. and the carrier's failure to receive ami forward accordingly was unlawful discrimination under tho act to regulate commerce', for which complainant should have reparation te the damage shown.

Personal, Loer.l urnl Cenerul A'oles. In ihe month of February there were handled on the Rig Four system 379,931 passengers. Judge Eaoon. general agent of the Chicago. Keck Island && Pacific, is in the city on official business. The Rig Four now makes one fare for the round trip between all -stations. Including Cincinnati, on Sundays. Tho Pullman Company has no bonded debt, pays 8 per cent, annual jvidends, and has a surplus of over $23,ika.0)0. The Lake Erie & Western Is pushing repair work at its shops, in l'eru 130 men are aL work and Jit the Lima shops 3oo. The management of the Chicago & Eastern Illinois has elecided to build a branch through Prairie CJreen to Fowler, Ind. The Joint traffic managers have postponed the effective date for the advance of immigrant fare-s from March 1 to June 1. The receipts from sales of tickets at the local offices of the Rig Four for February were $t',4.80 in excess of those of February, 1M5. In February there wer? handled on the Ritr Four system 122,704 loaded cars, against 116.000 in February, lSltO, an increase this year of C.704. W. J. Herbert, contracting agent of the Raltimoro 4Vr Ohio at Tol-do, has tendered his resignation. His successor has not yet been named. On March 13 E. E. Clavin will become general superintendent of the Oregon Shortlino and the Utah Northern, with headquarters at Pocatello. Charles James M. Hall tendered his resignation as chairman of the Toledo passenger committee, and the members unanimously voted not to accept It. The ellrectorles of a large number of roads have under consideration the purchase of large quanaitics of steel rails while they can bo purchased at low figures. The Chicago & Eastern Illinois paid spot cash for tho Chicago. Paducah eSc Memphis, using a portion of the monoy raised on the ie-contly issued hoods for $:0.0(H",liOO, which claim covers the whole system. There were handled at the city freight depots of the Pennsylvania lines In February 31.011.325 pounds of freight, representing 2.M.0 cars, ag;Unst 3.970,242 pounds, representing 3.073 cats, in February, lv9t. Arbitrators J. R. Wood and J. M. Hall have selected J. W. Rutdick. of the Delaware Ac Hudson, as thirel arbitrator on the application of the Nickel-plate for a differential In connection with mileage fares. J. R. Cavanaugh, car service superintendent of the Rig Four, returned last evening from New Orleans. He was accompanicd by a number of other car-service superintendents en rute homo from tho annual convention. Fr the period of seven months ending Jan. 31 the Santa Fe Hues show an increase in net earnings over the corresponding period of the preceding year of $l,ll..41.92. the Increase of gross earnings for the same period being $33a.2v.6l. The spevi.il train which carried the Damrosch (.2 rand Opera troupe from St. Louis to Cleveland, over the Wabash and Nickelplate, on Sunday, covered the 323 miles in twelve hours, doing better than was promise-el by the agent of the company. (leorge 11. Earl has been elect eel treasurer 01 the Patilic Railroad and Mr. Ommel has been appointed assistant secretary at St. Paul. Mr. Earl was formerly assistant secretary In New York and Mr. C2cmmel was secretary to the preside nt. During the several days that the Raltimoro At Ohio experienceel so much trouble from high water the Pennsylvania extended every courte sy to its competitor, and very effort was made to get the trains of the li. & O. through on their schedule time. The ellrectors of the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern Railroad Company have authorized the issue ol $30,000.0") of 3' 2 per cenL gold bonds for the purpose of raying present bonds as they mature in advance of maturity, by special arrange-monts. The entire Issue has been taken at 1022. Tho Scalpers Acsotiatlon pays that should the antl-scalplng bill be passenl by e:ongress they wiil contest Its constitutionality iu the United States Supreme Court, and are confident of victory. The American Ticket Rrokers' Association now has 3"0 members and the Guarantee Rrokers' Association 1?0 members. Another export line from the West Is to bo established at once. The roads Include the Ui-ulsvUle & Nashville, the Nashville. Chattanooga & St. Louis, tho Western Atlanta atal the South Carolina Ac Georgia, sending freight via Charleston In connection with the Clyde ships from Charleston for New York. A Union Station official said last evening that he had been looking over the reports of the arrivals of passenger trains at the station in th year 190. and tho record showed that In proportlen to the number of trains run the Lake Erie Sc Western has the lowest lato trains and tho Monon would come second. Roads running east from Chicago are very short of grain cars, ami in consequence large shipments of corn nre being delayesl t the great incenven!onee of shippers. The pressure on the roads to supply more cars is very- great, and officials are driven to their wits' ends In their attempts to satisfy the elemands. Frank J. Reed will have reason to be proud of the. time made by th special train, Chlcage) to Washington, carrying the Chicago Republican Marching Club. The train consists of seven sleepers, and left Chie-ago yesterday at 2:o3 p. ni.. arriving at Indianapolis at 8 p. m. The party took supper at the Union Station and left via the C, 11. & D. An important meeting of the mileage bureau if the Western 1'assenge-r Asseiciatlon was held at Chicago yesterday. The business before it was the question of adopting an Interchangeable mileage ticket. No eb-tlnlte result A'as reached, but the- opinion is gcne-ral that tho Introduction of an interchangeable ticket is a question of but a very short time. The Raldwln locomotive works this week began the the rebuilding of twenty-three of the Erie's largest locmotive-s. These engines are to be used in fast freight service. Six months ago the Erie had tve of its locomotives ehanged. and they have performed so satisfactorily that more are to be so construete d. In the change the engines are equipped to turn culm for fuel. Rurlingion edttcials were able yesterday to Issue a most gratifying statement ef earnings and expenses for the month of January. It was $2 t3,4'9 Ik tier than that issued for the same month last year. transfermlng a deficit of J-7.7V; then existing into a surpais of $117,013. The statement showed an Increase eif $79.t 23 iu gno-s earnings and a decr aso ed JlSj.oMi In eiperating expenses. After a number of tests of three differe nt typs of freight engines known as moguls, the Panhandle has decided to have te.t of the F L class built, to be simple moguls, with lifty-thrcc-ineh driving wheels, and the engine in working euder weighing l4t;.M pounds. They will be innverful and fast for freight locomotives. The ereU r has bee-n given to ce-nstruct them at the thops of the Pennsylvania at Juniata. The following official changes became effective' on the Raltlmure Ohio on Monday: T. W. Gallagher succeeds C. E. Ways as gene ral freight agent east of the Ohio river, with head'juarte rs at Raltimoro; L. R.

PARK BOARD'S BIG JOB "will m:n:ivi: a Ln;n si m ox as. hES3Jli:T OF RENEFITS. lurieory Outline? of Ilie riuns of tlic Roarel Reg in Work Very Soon 011 Siaull Tracts. The I'ark Commissioners now have a very big job on their hands. The' appropriation of $333,000 does not represent much more than one-half the amount of 'money that will bo actually available for use. Under the law creating the Park Roarel it is authorized to asse-ss benefits and damages when It condemns land for park purposes. As the damage In all cases will be only to the purchaser of the land, while the benefits will accrue to property owners throughout the nelghborhootl. It follows that In many cases the benefits that may be assessed will equal the cost of the land purchased. This would give a large amount of money available for the improvement of tho land. The worV- of selecting the land has progressed considerably. A first survey has been made of the White-river and Fallcreek systems and drawings have been made showing what land Is desired. This system includes a 2ou-foot boulevard from the Junction of the old National road and West Washington street, along the cast bank of White river and the south bank of Fall creek to Senato avenue, where It will cross Fall creek and follow the North bank to the fair gronuds. The land along this boulevard will be Improved for parks and will contain other drives and walks. From Senate avenue to Hammond's Park the plans call tor a bicycle path twenty feet wide on the south bank of Fall creek. A elam Is to be placed In White river Just North of Washington ttreet to provide back water for boating. Another dam, fifteen feet high, will be placed at the mouth of Fall creek. This will give a lake near the end of Indiana avenue of about 120 acres, with many vvlde-ned places in Fall creek. Although very indefinite at the present time, the plans include some kind of improvement em both sides of White river ns far north as Cruw' Nest, a place well known to all bicycle riders. Resides this the re are a-number of smaller pieces of ground in various parts ef the city which have been selecteel with a view of making them intei parks. It Is also contemplated that a strip 'of ground shall be bought to conne'et elartle Id Park with Shelby street. This will either be with the windings of Pleasant run or will be a strip about two hundreel fet. wide running straight east from the center of the cast side of the park. The board has alreaely taken steps to have the land desired condemned by the Circuit Court. This requires considerable time and the proceedlnes can scarcely be completed in time ffr ;much work to be done on the general s-rdem during tho coming summer. Mayor Taggart Is very much pleased with the passage of the park appropriation ordinance. He said that he is -confident that In five years from now everybody will see that It is a good thing and a wise move for the city. In speaking of the work the I'ark Commissioners have before them, he said: "I am in favor of going to work the very minute it is possibles I aI?o believe it is proper that the work of improvement should be done bv the board, and not let out by contract, ft is mostly common labor and the city has fixed Its scale for this class of labor, and thts scale. I believe, should be adhered to. I say this, because the city will be able to vse many of the men now suffering for employment, and because they should receive employment in preference to those from elsewhere, as mi?;ht be the case If the work was done by contract." Sterling R. Holt, a member of the Park Roard, paid the board had not decided to buy any particular piece of property, but that it vvo.uld take up the matter and buy what seemed to it best for all concerned. He said there are several pieces of property that can be secured at once at reasonable prices by private purchase ami on which not much work will be neeeled. He is In favor of buying such of this property as may be desirable and putting men to work at once. He also thinks this werk should be done by the board and not by contract. The larger parcels of ground, he says, cannot be made into parks during the coming summer en account eif tiie fact that the necessary condemnation proceedings are so slow. On this account he favors putting the labor this year on the smaller tracts that can be bought at private sale. The controller will receive bids for the bonds up tj noon, March 31. The bonds will be payable in 1927 at the office of Winslow, Lanier Ac Co.. New York, in "lawful money of the United States." Mr. Johnson has alreaely received a number of Inquiries about the bonds and thinks they will find a very ready market at a good price. CITY NEWS NOTES.
