MANUFACTURERS  OF  THE 


WESTINGHOUSE  AUTOMATIC  BRAKE, 


The  WESTINGHOUSE  AUTOMATIC  BRAKE  is  now  in  use  on  24,000  engines  ar.d 

325,000  cars.      This  includes  232,000  freight  cars,  which  is  about  23  per  cent. 

of  the  entire  freight  car  equipment  of  this  country,  and  about  80  per  cent. 

of  these  are  engaged  in  inter-state  traffic,  affording  the  opportunity 

of  controlling  the  speed  of   trains   by   their  use   on  railways 

over  which  they  may  pass.      Orders  have  been  received 

for  173,000  of  the  improved  quick-action  brakes 

since  December,  1887. 


The  best  results  are  obtained  in  freight  train  braking  from  having  all  the  cars  in  a 
train  fitted  with  power  brakes,  but  several  years'  experience  has  proven  conclusively  that 
brakes  can  be  successfully  and  profitably  used  on  freight  trains  where  but  a  portion  of  the 
cars  are  so  equipped.

This  Brake  has  been  thoroughly  tested  in  both  passenger  and  freight  service,  and  is 
now  in  use  on  over  60  railroads. 

We  can  refer  by  permission  to  these  roads  for  the  efficiency  of  the  service  rendered 
by  the  New  York  Company's  compressed  air  system. 

With  the  same  amount  of  steam  used  by  the  Westinghouse  pump,  our  Duplex  Pump 
will  compress  67  per  cent,  more  air. 

We  guarantee  our  system  to  be  equal  or  superior  to  any  now  on  the  market: 

It  is  simple,  durable,  efficient  and  economical; 


Orders  in  any  quantity  solicited  and  prompt  delivery  guaranteed.

85,000  MILES  OF  RAILROADS  IN  THE  D.  S. 

Recommended  by  the  Western  Railroad  Association  as  operated  with  more  ease  and  speed, 
take  up  less  space,  cause  less  detention  to  the  public  than  other  gates.  Repairs 
practically  nothing.  Approved  by  hundreds  of  railway  officials,  mayors  of  cities  and  by 
railroad  commissioners  of  many  states.  Jonson's  improvements  on  these  gates  render 
them  practically  perfect,  make  them  non-  freezing  and  reduce  cost.  Every  crossing  gate 
on  the  New  York  Central,  Delaware,  Lacka wanna  &  Western,  N.  Y.,  Lake  Erie  &  Western, 
Richmond  &  Danville  and  many  other  railroads,  were  made  in  our  shops,  and  have  Jon- 
son's  improvements. 

CABLE    RAILROADS. 

Cable  Railways  a  specialty.  We  built  the  cable  road  complete  through  125th  street,  New 
York  City,  from  river  to  river,  and  are  now  building  the  special  construction  on  the  3d 
Avenue  Cable  Road  in  New  York  City.  Every  GRIP  in  use  on  the  3d  Avenue  Cable 
Road  was  built  in  our  shops.

THE  NATIONAL  LOCK  ffASIEB  CO., 


,   IsT. 


Distinctive  merits  of  the  •"  Standard  "  Nut  Lock,  Condensed: 

Fixedness  of  position—  cannot  rotate  and  hammer  down  threads  of  bolt. 

Cannot  get  one  end  into  elongated  slot  of  angle-bar. 

Unlike  any  permanently  placed,  double  washer,  the  Standard  is  interchangeable  regardless,  of 
distance  between  bolts. 

Cannot  be  put  on  wrong  side  out,  as  the  outward  projection  of  the  foct  pieces  would  prevent 
the  nut  being  turned  up. 

Has  more  spring  power  directly  under  the  nut  than  any  two  ordinary  coil  nut  locks. 

Being  fixed  in  position,  it  offers  double  the  locking  friction  of  nut  locks,  which  when  in  fh<>ir 
dead  "set"  condition  turn  back  with  nut  by  the  vibrative  effect  of  passing  train. 

We  are  also  manufacturers  of  D.  O.  Ward's  Patent  Clutch  Spring  Coil  Nut  Lock,    and   the 
ordinary  Single  Coil  Spring  Nut  Lock,  made  from  M  square  steel. 

Prices  and  samples  cheerfully  furnished  to  the  trade  on  application.

NOTE.— The  "annual  increase  in  mileage  "  usually  represents  the  net  increase  within  the  year  named.  Below 
will  be  found  a  detailed  statement  of  railroad  construction  for  the  three  years  18.39-91,  and  similar  statements  for 
preceding  years  will  be  found  in  past  numbers  of  the  MANUAL.  The  total  mileage  of  all  lines  in  the  country  at 
the  end  of  1890,  as  shown  by  the  revised  statements  presented  herewith,  was  166,702.69  miles  ;  construction  during 
the  year,  as  per  construction  table  following,  4,471.46  miles— total,  171,174.15,  from  which  deduct  194.62  miles  now 
reported  abandoned,  and  130.83  miles  formerly  main  track,  now  reported  as  sidings,  and  247.52  miles  net  miscel- 
laneous decreases,  the  latter  due  to  the  elimination  of  duplicate  tracks,  which  is  largely  the  result  of  the  more 
accurate  information  now  called  for  by  the  State  Boards  of  Railroad  Commissioners.

With  this  we  present  the  twenty-fifth  annual  number  of  the  MANUAL. 
In  1867,  when  the  compilation  of  the  first  number  was  undertaken,  the  length 
of  all  railroads  in  the  country  was  39,250  miles.  The  statistics  herewith 
presented  show  a  total  mileage,  January  1,  1892,  of  170,601  miles,  the  increase 
in  the  quarter  century  being  131,351  miles,  or  435  per  cent.  In  the  past  twenty- 
five  years  the  mileage  of  railroads  in  Xew  England,  where  the  development  has 
been  without  speculative  feature,  has  increased  from  3,938  miles  to  6,860.  in 
the  six  States  comprising  the  Middle  Group  the  increase  has  been  from  9,190 
miles  to  20,428  miles  ;  and  in  the  South,  from  9,940  miles  to  32,110  miles. 


XXV] 


Throughout  the  Western  States,  from  the  Ohio  and  Mississippi  Rivers  on  the 
East  to  the  Rocky  Mountains  on  the  West,  comprising  a  vast  empire  1,626,390 
square  miles  in  extent,  where  the  progress  of  the  nation  has  been  most  rapid 
and  its  increase  in  wealth  most  marked,  the  railway  has  been  the  great  instru- 
ment in  opening  up  new  territory  to  settlement,  and  furnishing  the  means  of 
transportation  without  which  these  lands  would  be  still  undeveloped  and  unpro- 
ductive. In  1867  there  were  only  15,777  miles  of  railroad  in  these  States,  against 
100,599  miles  in  1891.  Of  this  mileage  only  a  small  portion  in  1867  was  west 
of  the  Mississippi,  where  there  are  now  50,000  miles  of  line.  In  1867  the  mile- 
age in  the  States  on  the  Pacific  Coast  was  431 ;  in  1891,  12,613  miles. 

The  rate  of  increase  in  the  mileage  of  our  railroads  in  the  period  named, 
vast  as  it  has  been,  has  been  greatly  eclipsed  by  their  operations  of  all  kinds. 
In  1866,  from  carefully  prepared  data,  the  tonnage  of  our  railroads  did  not 
exceed  47,872,500  tons,  the  mileage  for  that  year  being  36,801  miles.  In  1891 
their  tonnage  equalled  704,398,609  tons  for  170,601  miles  of  line.  At  $20  the 
ton,  the  value  of  the  merchandise  moved  in  1866  equalled  $957,450,020  ;  of 
that  moved  in  1891,  $14,087,972,180.  These  statements  sufficiently  show  the 
magnitude  and  rapidity  of  increase  of  the  mileage  and  traffic  of  our  railroads, 
and  the  importance,  as  well  as  the  great  labor,  of  recording  such  increase  and 
of  presenting  results  in  a  manner  to  be  available  at  a  glance  to  every  man  of 
affairs  as  well  as  to  all  interested  in  the  progress  of  the  nation. 

The  present  number  of  the  MAXUAL  appears  somewhat  earlier  in  the  year 
than  the  preceding  numbers,  but  not  so  early  as  we  had  hoped,  owing  to  the 
difficulty,  which  must  be  apparent  to  every  one  who  considers  the  number  of 
companies  with  which  we  have  to  deal,  of  collecting  seasonably  the  necessary 
information.  The  comprehensive  summaries  cannot  be  entered  upon  until  the 
reports  from  all  the  companies  have  been  received  and  their  contents  prepared 
for  publication.  These  summaries  present  many  new  and  important  features, 
among  them  being  detailed  statements  of  the  bonded  indebtedness  of  the  lead- 
ing lines  in  a  form  never  before  attempted. 

In  the  following  statement  are  given  the  mileage,  gross  and  net  earnings 
of  all  the  railroads  in  the  United  States  (including  Elevated  railroads  in  New 
York  and  Brooklyn)  for  the  eight  years  1884-1891,  inclusive,  and  deductions 
therefrom  :

Compared  with  1890,  gross  earnings  increased  847,381,899,  to  which  in- 
crease the  elevated  railroads  contributed  $682,423,  the  remainder,  $46,699,476, 
being  the  increase  upon  the  surface  roads,  made  up  by  increases  of  $18,478,735 
in  passenger  earnings,  $19,364,177  in  freight  earnings,  and  $8,856,564  in  mail, 
express,  and  other  miscellaneous  earnings. 

Tiie  total  number  of  miles  of  railroad  in  the  United  States  at  the  close  of 
1891  was  170,601,  of  which  4,471  miles  were  constructed  during  the  year.  The 
mileage  of  lines  making  returns  of  their  share  capital  and  funded  and  floating 
debts  equalled  167,909,  against  163,420  for  1890,  the  increase  being  4,489  miles, 
the  rate  of  increase  being  2. 7  per  cent. 

The  share  capital  corresponding  to  the  mileage  completed  at  the  end  of 
1891  equalled  $4,809,176,651,  against  $4,640,239,578  in  1890,  the  increase 
equalling  $168,937,073  the  rate  of  increase  being  3.6  per  cent. 

The  funded  debts  of  all  the  lines  at  the  close  of  the  year  aggregated  $5,235,- 
295,074,  a  sum  $129,393,049  in  excess  of  the  total  of  1890  ($5,105,902,025),  an 
increase  of  2.5  per  cent. 

The  other  forms  of  indebtedness  of  the  several  companies  at  the  close  of 
the  year  equalled  $345,362,503,  against  $376,494,297  for  1890,  a  decrease  of 
$31,131,794.  The  total  share  capital  and  indebtedness  of  all  kinds  of  all  the 
roads  making  returns  equalled  at  the  close  of  the  year  $10,389,834,228,  an 
increase  in  the  year  of  $267,198,328  over  the  total  of  1890  ($10, 122,635,900),  the 
rate  of  increase  for  the  year  being  2. 6  per  cent. 

The  cost  per  mile  of  all  roads  making  return,  as  measured  by  the  amount  of 
their  stocks  and  bonded  indebtedness,  equalled  $59,820,  against  $59,577  for  1890. 

In  1880  the  total  capital  investment  of  the  railroads  of  the  United  States, 
measured  by  the  amounts  of  their  share  capital,  funded  and  unfunded  debts, 
was  $5,108,241,906.  Their  gross  earnings  in  that  year  equalled  $615,401,931, 
or  12.4  per  cent,  on  capital  invested,  while  net  earnings  amounted  to  $255,- 
193,436,  being  4.9  per  cent,  on  capital  invested. 

In  1885  the  total  capital  investment  was  $7,852,533,179  ;  gross  earnings 
equalled  $772,568,833,  or  9.9  per  cent,  on  capital  invested;  net  earnings,  $269,- 
493,931,  being  3.4  per  cent,  on  capital  invested.  In  1886  the  total  investment 
was  $8,163,148,652  ;  gross  earnings  were  $829,940,836,  equal  to  10.2  per  cent,  of 
investment,  and  net  earnings  $300,603,564,  or  3.7  per  cent,  on  capital.  In  1887 
the  total  investment  was  $8,673,187,216;  gross  earnings  were  $940,150,702, 
equal  to  10.8  per  cent,  of  investment,  and  net  earnings  $334,989,119,  or  3.9  per 
cent,  on  capital.  In  1888  the  total  investment  was  $9,369,398,954  ;  gross  earn- 
ings were  $960,256,270,  equal  to  10.2  per  cent,  of  investment,  and  net  earnings 
$301,631,051,  or  3.2  per  cent,  on  capital.  In  1889  the  total  investment  was 
$9,680,942,249  ;  gross  earnings  were  $1,002,926,059,  equal  to  10.3  per  cent,  on 
investment,  and  net  earnings  $322,122,721,  or  3.3  per  cent,  on  capital. 

In  1890  the  total  investment  was  $10,122,635,900  ;  gross  earnings  were 
$1,097,847,428,  equal  to  10.8  per  cent,  on  investment,  and  net  earnings  $346,- 
921,318,  or  3.4  per  cent,  on  capital. 

In  1891  the  gross  earnings  of  $1,138,024,459  equalled  9.1  per  cent,  of  the 
total  investment,  aggregating  $10,389,834,228;  and  net  earnings,  $356,209,-

880,  equalled  3.1  per  cent.  The  total  amount  of  interest  payments  in  1891 
were  equal  to  4.25  per  cent,  of  the  aggregate  bonded  indebtedness  of  all  com- 
panies, as  against  4.27  per  cent,  in  1890  and  4.40  per  cent,  in  1889  ;  and  the 
total  amount  of  dividend  payments  was  equal  to  1.85  per  cent,  on  all  paid-up 
capital  stock  in  1891,  1.80  per  cent,  in  1890,  and  1.81  per  cent,  in  1889. 

During  the  period  for  which  a  large  proportion  of  the  companies  reported 
in  1891,  the  business  interests  of  the  country  were  in  a  depressed  condition, 
and  the  effects  of  this  depression  are  evidenced  in  the  statistics  now  presented 
in  the  MANUAL.  But  the  abundant  crops  of  last  year,  and  those  now  to  a  large 
extent  assured  for  this  year,  would  seem  to  predicate  an  unusually  brilliant 
showing  when  the  next  number  of  the  MANUAL  shall  be  issued. 

As  the  purpose  of  the  "  MANUAL  OF  RAILROADS  "  is  to  present  a  faithful 
abstract  of  the  reports,  or  statements  however  made,  of  the  several  railroad 
companies  of  the  United  States,  the  publication  of  a  New  Annual  Number,  the 
present  being  the  Twenty-Fifth,  calls  for  but  few  remarks  from  the  Publish- 
ers, the  few  that  are  deemed  necessary  being  chiefly  explanatory.  The  briefest 
examination  of  their  work  will  impress  every  one  with  the  great  amount  of 
labor  involved,  the  collection  and  preparation  for  publication  of  the  reports  of 
a  vast  number  of  companies,  each  consulting  its  own  ideas  and  conveniences  as 
to  the  kind  of  statement  to  be  made,  and  as  to  the  time  and  mode  of  its  publi- 
cation. The  fiscal  years  of  the  several  companies  also  differ  greatly  as  to  date. 
Of  course  each  year  helps  to  bring  about  a  better  system  and  greater  uniformity 
in  their  reports,  due  very  largely  to  the  requisitions  of  Boards  of  Railroad  Com- 
missioners now  appointed  for  nearly  every  State.  The  United  States  Inter- 
State  Commission  has  also  rendered  valuable  service  in  the  same  direction.  A 
most  desirable  improvement  would  be  the  establishment  of  a  fiscal  year  com- 
mon to  all  the  companies.  The  tendency  of  the  greater  number  is  to  adopt  the 
30th  of  June  for  the  close  of  their  fiscal  year.  A  large  number  of  important 
companies,  however,  still  adhere  to  the  old  time,  the  close  of  the  calendar  year, 
a  rule  which  prevents  the  earlier  issue  in  the  year  of  the  MANUAL.  As  the  Rail- 
road Companies  do  not  usually  publish  their  reports  until  a  considerable  time 
has  elapsed  after  the  close  of  their  fiscal  years,  and  as  a  long  time  also  elapses 
before  the  reports  of  the  Railroad  Commissioners  for  the  several  States  are 
made  public  after  they  are  submitted  to  the  several  State  authorities,  it  has  so 
far  been  impossible  to  issue  the  MANUAL  at  dates  earlier  than  those  at  which  it 
usually  appears.  Another  cause  of  delay  is  the  submission  to  the  proper  officers 
of  the  several  railroad  companies  of  proofs  of  the  statements  of  their  reports 
prepared  for  publication  in  the  MANUAL.  Such  submission  for  correction  gives 
a  semi-official  character  to  every  statement  published  in  the  MANUAL,  a  fact 
which  greatly  increases  its  value  to  the  public,  as  all  but  absolute  accuracy  is 
thereby  secured. 

Attention  is  specially  called  to  the  accompanying  Tabulations  of  the  progress 
and  results  of  the  operations  of  the  railroads  of  the  country  for  a  series  of  years. 
They  are  of  great  interest  and  value,  presenting  at  a  glance  information  beyond 
the  reach  of  people  actively  engaged  in  affairs,  as  they  are  to  be  arrived  at  only 
by  a  vast  amount  of  laborious  research  by  experts.  By  referring  to  the  Intro- 


XXIX 

duet  ion  to  the  MAXL'AL  one  has  all  this  information  fully  prepared  for  use. 
Xothing  will  more  impress  one  with  the  magnitude  of  our  Railroad  System,  and 
the  labor  required  in  properly  setting  forth  the  results  that  have  been  actiieved. 
The  progress  made  by  our  people  in  the  construction  and  management  of  rail- 
roads has  no  parallel,  and  is  the  most  significant  illustration  of  the  value  of  our 
Political  Institutions  which  have  no  other  warrant  than  their  usefulness  and 
which  leave  the  articulations  of  the  people  perfectly  free. 

With  the  increase  in  number  and  importance  of  railroads,  and  with  the 
wider  relations  and  the  greater  volume  of  their  traffic,  the  time  has  come  when 
much  matter  heretofore  included  in  one  volume  is  to  be  omitted  to  appear  in 
another  place  and  form.  The  publishers  of  the  MAXL'AL  have  consequently 
determined  to  publish  two  Supplementary  Volumes — one  entitled  "  POOR'S 
DIRECTORY  OF  RAILWAY  OFFICIALS,"  the  other,  "  POOR'S  HAXD-BOOK  OF  Ix- 
VESTMEXT  SECURITIES.''  In  the  first  will  be  given,  in  addition  to  a  full  list  of 
the  railroad  companies  of  the  United  States,  and  of  the  contiguous  countries  of 
Canada  and  Mexico,  and  of  the  important  officers  connected  therewith,  detailed 
statements  of  the  railroads  of  other  American  States,  of  private  tramways,  and 
of  the  street  railways  of  the  United  States  and  Canada.  Street  railroads,  now  so 
important  a  factor  in  the  movement  of  our  urban  population,  though  of  little 
interest  for  the  general  public,  possess  a  great  interest  to  investors,  manufact- 
urers, etc. 

"  POOR'S  HAXD  BOOK  OF  IXVESTMEXT  SECURITIES  "  will  cover  the  entire 
field  of  investment  in  the  United  States — the  financial  condition,  indebtedness, 
sources  of  income,  assets  and  population  of  every  State,  county,  city,  and 
town  issuing  its  obligations  for  any  purpose.  It  will  also  contain  full  state- 
ments of  the  industrial  enterprises  in  which  the  public,  by  virtue  of  holding 
evidences  of  debt  issued  by  them,  secure  an  interest.  Such  enterprises  have  in 
recent  years  become  very  numerous  and  important,  the  tendency  in  every 
department  of  production  and  distribution  being  toward  consolidation  of 
smaller  into  greater  interests.  Our  people  have  a  continent  for  their  field,  and 
the  unexampled  progress  in  the  number  and  traffic  of  their  railroads  is  only  an 
illustration  of  that  which  has  been  made,  and  which  is  to  be  made,  in  every 
department  of  enterprise  and  industry.  Of  the  industrial  enterprises  springing 
up  on  every  hand,  the  public  requires  information  as  trustworthy  as  that  now 
supplied  by  the  Manual  in  reference  to  railroads,  and  to  which  we  appeal  in 
evidence  of  the  faithfulness  and  competency  likely  to  be  displayed  in  the  new 
enterprises  upon  which  we  have  entered.

[ADVERTISEMENT.] 

Tlie  statements  of  the  street  railways  of  the  country— those  operated  with 
horse,  electric,  and  cable  power— are  omitted  from  this  number  of  the  «  manual," 
but  are  presented  In  «  Poor's  Directory  of  Railway  Officials  and  Manual  of  Ameri- 
can Street  Kail  ways  "  In  more  complete  form.  A  sample  statement  (that  of  the 
Brooklyn  City  RR.  Co.)  follows  : 


Brooklyn  City  RR.— Length  of  main  line  and  branches,  83.75  miles  ;  2d  track,  76  miles  ;  sidings, 
16.25  miles— total  length  of  all  tracks  owned,  176  miles.  Gauge,  4  ft.  8.}  in.  Rail  (centre  bearing  steel),  45  to  04  Ibs. 
This  company  operates  a  number  of  lines  of  railroad  upon  the  leading  thoroughfares  of  Brooklyn.  Its  most  im- 
portant terminals  in  the  Western  District  of  the  city  are  at  Fulton  Ferry  and  the  Brooklyn  terminus  of  the  Hast 
River  Bridge,  whence  its  lines  radiate  in  all  directions  through  the  city.  In  the  Eastern  District  its  most  important 
terminal  is  at  the  Broadway  and  Greenpoint  Avenue  Ferries.  History:  Organized  under  the  General  Railroad 
Law  and  filed  Articles  of  Association  December  17, 1853.  Construction  begun  on  April  10,  1854,  and  in  July, 
1854,  the  first  section,  from  Fulton  Ferry  to  City  Hall,  0.74  mile,  was  opened  for  traffic.  In  September  of  the 
same  year  the  extension  from  City  Hall  to  Brooklyn  Avenue,  2.69  miles,  was  completed.  In  March,  1875,  the 
line  was  extended  to  East  New  York,  5.6  miles,  from  Fulton  Ferry.  The  Myrtle  Avenue  line,  from  City  Hall  to 
Broadway,  2.91  miles,  was  built  in  1854,  as  also  the  line  from  Fulton  Street  to  N.  13th  Street,  3.82  miles.  This 
latter  line  was  further  extended  in  1855  to  Freeman  Street,  0.75  mile.  The  line  from  Kent  Avenue  to  Broadway 
was  built  in  1854  and  1855,  and  the  line  from  City  Hall  to  Greenwood,  3.44  miles,  was  built  in  1854.  In  1855  were 
also  built  :  from  Greenwood  to  City  Line,  1.17  miles,  and  from.  Hamilton  Ferry  to  Court  Street,  0.93  mile.  In 
1856  only  0.56  mile  was  opened— from  City  Line  to  Yellow  Hook  Lane.  Various  extensions  between  1870  and 
1875  brought  the  total  mileage  at  the  end  of  that  year  up  to  44  miles.  On  October  31,  1891,  by  consolidating  with 
the  Bushwick,  the  Brooklyn  Crosstown,  the  Calvary  Cemetery,  Greenpoint  and  Brooklyn,  the  New  Williamsburgh 
.and  Flatbush,  the  Greenpoint  and  Lorimer  Street,  and  the  Grand  Street  and  Newton  RR.  Cos..  the  mileage 
increased  to  83.75  miles.  (For  history  of  these  companies  see  MANUAL,  for  1890.)  Of  this  company's  lines,  6 
miles,  from  39th  Street  Ferry  to  Gravesend  Bay,  are  operated  by  the  single  trolley  system  of  electricity,  but  in 
January,  1892,  the  consent  of  the  State  and  city  authorities  was  obtained  f or  a  change  to  electricity  on  all  the 
lines  operated  by  this  company.  Equipment :  Horses,  5,508  ;  dummies,  29.  Cars  (open,  714 :  box,  815  ;  motor.

Cos.  were  consolidated  under  the  title  of  the  Wichita  and  Western  Ry.  Co.,  and  from  July  1, 
1890,  operated  by  the  Atchison  Co. 

On  January  1,  1890,  the  Chicago,  Santa  Fe  and  California  Ry.,  the  Chicago,  Kansas,  and 
Western  RR.,  and  the  St.  Joseph,  St.  Louis  and  Santa  Fe  Ry.,  were  merged  into  the  Atchi- 
son System  proper. 

In  May,  1890,  the  company  purchased  the  common  and  preferred  stock  of  the  St.  Louis 
and  San  Francisco  Ry.  Co.,  issuing  for  that  purpose  $27,000,000  new  stock,  or  at  the  rate  of 
one  share  and  three-eighths  of  new  stock  for  one  share  of  San  Francisco  preferred,  and  three- 
quarters  of  one  share  of  new  stock  for  one  share  of  San  Francisco  common. 

The  company  owns  the  entire  capital  stock  ($8,000,000),  and  guarantees  $6,000,000  ($4,- 
015,000  outstanding)  4  per  cent,  consolidated  mortgage  bonds  of  the  Colorado  Midland  Ry. 
Co.  The  contract  for  purchase  of  the  stock  and  guarantee  of  the  bonds  was  entered  into 
September  5,  1890,  the  cost  of  the  property  to  June  30,  1891,  appearing  as  $4,405,500  in  Atchi- 
son stock  at  par  and  $2,012,510  in  cash  ;  but  the  cash  payment  upon  final  adjustment  will 
stand  at  about  $1,900,000. 

In  November,  1890,  under  a  traffic  arrangement  with  the  Chicago,  Peoria  and  St.  Louis 
RR.  Co.,  a  through  line  between  Chicago  and  St.  Louis  was  opened. 

The  real  estate  owned  by  the  company  in  Chicago  has  been  sold  for  about  $8,000,000  cash 
to  the  Chicago  Elevated  Terminal  Ry.  Co.,  organized  in  August,  1890,  to  build  in  the  city  of 
Chicago  an  elevated  railroad  with  passenger  and  freight  stations,  to  afford  to  steam  rail- 
roads entering  the  city  better  and  more  economical  facilities.  All  of  the  railroads  thua 
accommodated,  the  Atchison  among  the  number,  will  be  stockholders  in  the  Terminal 
Company.

GENERAL  REMARKS. 

The  gross  earnings  from  the  Atchison  system,  on  an  average  operated  mileage  for  the  year,  of  7.111.61  miles, 
were  $33.663.716.18,  or  per  mile  $4.733.63.  an  increase  of  $2,659,359.15,  or  per  mile  of  $373.54.  over  the  previous 
year.  This  satisfactory  result  was  obtained  in  the  face  of  adverse  conditions  arising  chiefly  from  poor  crops  in 
1890.  It  should  not  be  overlooked,  however,  that  the  Atchison  system  has  built  practically  no  new  mileage  since 
September,  1888.  and  the  new  mileage  then  completed  (2,058  miles')  has  been  steadily  increasing  the  bu? 
the  company  from  natural  development  of  the  territory  through  which  it  passes. 

The  gross  earnings  from  freight  traffic  for  the  year  were  $23.329.649.36,  an  increase  of  $1.596,495.74  over  pre- 
vious year.  The  total  number  of  tons  of  all  classes  of  revenue  freight  carried  was  7.780.223.2.  an  increase  of  38.- 
564.9  tons.  East-bound  tonnage  shows,  a  decrease  of  186,637.4,  indicating  results  incident  to  light  crops  :  while 
west-bound  tonnage,  more  closely  illustrative  of  permanent  conditions,  increased  225/202.3  tons. 

The  same  results  obtain  from  tons  carried  one  mile,  east-bound  showing  decrease  of  35,077.777  tons  one 
mile  and  west-bound  increase  of  109,912,321,  or  enough  to  show  a  general  increase  of  tons  moved  one  mile  for  the 
year  east  and  west  of  74,834,544,  the  gross  total  tons  of  freight  moved  one  mile  on  the  evstem  having  been  1,769.- 
828.696  in  the  year  to  June  30,  1890,  and  in  the  year  just  closed  1,844,663.240.

20  POOR'S   MANUAL— ATCHISON,    TOPEKA   AND    SANTA   FE   RR.    CO. 

Products  of  agriculture  above  noted  include  grain  of  all  descriptions,  cotton,  etc.,  and  the  entire  movement 
for  the  year  to  June  30.  1891,  was,  of  grain  but  10.08  per  cent.,  and  of  other  agricultural  products  8.98  per  cent,,  a 
total  of  but  19.06  per  cent,  of  the  aggregate  tonnage  hauled.  While  the  product*  dependent  upon  crop  con- 
ditions showed  a  decrease  of  438,312.2  tons,  commodities  not  affected  by  weather,  but  following  growin"  popu- 
lation and  necessities,  increased  583,308.8  tons. 

In  connection  v>  ith  freight  traffic  movement  during  the  year  ended  June  30,  1891,  it'  is  well  to  note  that  the 
average  rate  of  freight  shows  an  increase  over  that  of  the  previous  year  of  .037  of  a  cent  per  ton  per  mile  and  the 
avegage  haul  per  ton  an  increase  of  8.49  miles. 

During  the  year  the  gross  earnings  from  passengers  amounted  to  $7,248,693.95,  an  increase  over  previous 
year  of  $63s,660.17,  with  an  increase  in  average  rate  per  passenger  per  mile  of  .123  of  a  cent.  The  average:  num- 
ber of  miles  travelled  by  each  passenger  shows  .85  mile  under  the  previous  year,  indicating  a  greater  movement 
of  local  passengers  during  the  year  just  closed. 

The  net  earnings  for  the  year  were  $9,620,546.54,  or  $1,352.95  per  mile,  a  decrease  of  $403,424.23,  or  $65.1  1  per 
mile,  under  the  previous  year.  This  result  was  owing  to  extensive  repairs  made  to  the  rolling  stock  following  its 
heavy  usage  in  the  previous  year,  as  that  large  traffic  was  done  without  any  increase  in  equipment.  Maintenance 
•of  equipment  in  operating  expenses  show  a  total  during  the  year  now  reported  of  $3,399,204.19,  an  increase;  of 
$728,466.0(5,  while  traffic  expenses  (those  incident  to  train  movement)  show  at  $14,482,150.73,  an  increase  of  $2,- 
147,234.16,  much  of  which  was  due  to  constant  use  of  motive  power,  necessitating  increase  of  train  service  with 
lighter  trains,  and,  consequently,  more  expense.  This  also  naturally  caused  heavier  track  repairs,  maintenance 
ot  road  expenses  showing  at  $5,074,672.50,  an  increase  of  $232,523.35  over  the  previous  jrear.  A  different  result 
generally  should  obtain  in  the  year  beginning  with  July  1,  1891,  as  large  additions  were  made  to  equipment  in 
cars  and  engines  during  the  latter  part  of  the  year  just  closed. 

During  the  year  there  were  placed  in  the  track  and  charged  to  operating  expenses  152.771  miles  new  steel 
.rails  at  net  cost  of  $172,270.52,  and  1,253,079  new  ties,  $545,179.68  :  in  all,  $717,450.20. 

The  expenditures  during  the  year  upon  improvements  of  the  property  have  been  heavy,  and  were  prin- 
cipally as  follows  :  Gulf,  Colorado  and  Santa  Fe  Ry.,  including  rebuilding  of  Dallas  and  Paris  Branch.  $1,292,- 
515.85  ;  Southern  California  Ry.,  mainly  raising  and  protecting  tracks  in  canons  from  floods,  $199,093.37  ;  Atchi- 
son System  proper,  Chicago  Line  completion,  chiefly,  $1.000,058.19;  All  other  lines,  general  improvements, 
$60,482.73— total  improvements,  $2,552,150.14. 

These  expenditures  followed  the  large  outlays  of  the  previous  year  and  the  financial  reorganization  of  the 
company,  and  were  found  necessary  to  bring  the  properties  up  to  standards  of  economy  and  safe  operation. 
Improvement  expenditures  also  include  $312,383.28  for  new  side-tracks,  to  provide  for  growing  business  and 
more  economical  movement  of  trains  ;  $231,561.42  for  new  buildings,  inclusive  of  a  large  new  elevator,  with 
machinery,  at  Argentine,  Kan.,  at  a  cost  of  $89,950,  and  seven  small  elevators  on  tin-  Chicago  Line,  at  a  cost  of 
$13,590.05.  The  large  amounts  expended  on  the  Gulf,  Colorado  and  Santa  Fe  Ry.  include  general  building  up  of 
the  line,  as  well  as  an  entire  rebuilding  of  the  Dallas  Branch,  and  cover  work  which  could  not  be  deferred. 

During  the  year  additions  to  property  have  been  made  in  amount  of  (less  credits)  $26,646.98.  The  principal 
items  under  this  head  were  2.52  miles  of  new  second  track  between  Morris  and  Holliday  in  Kansas,  at  a  cost  of 
$22,758.01  and  1.78  miles  of  main  trade  and  1.66  miles  of  side-track  extending  to  the  Pittsbur^  and  Midway  Coal 
Co.'s  mines  in  Kansas,  $8,531.87,  all  included  in  a  total  of  $31,289.88  on  the  Atchison  RR.  proper.  The  credits 
under  this  account  arose  chiefly  from  taking  up  of  unnecessary  tracks  on  Southern  California  Road. 

During  the  year  there  was  expended  for  additional  and  new  locomotives  $126,531.28  ;  passenger  cars,  $36.- 
121.92;  freight  and  other  cars,  $142,910.46  ;  and  shop  machinery,  $18,207.20— an  aggregate  of  $323,770.86,  which 
was  charged  to  equipment  (capital)  account.  There  were  also  143  freight  and  22  service  cars  rebuilt  new  by  the 
company  at  a  cost  of  $78,498.33,  which  was  charged  to  operating  expenses. 

The  demands  for  equipment  provirg  so  great,  to  move  traffic  offering,  an  arrangement  was  entered  into  dur- 
ing the  year  to  procure  substantial  additions  to  the  rolling  stock  under  a  trust  agreement  providing  for  payment 
for  such  equipment  within  ten  years  from  date  of  acquisition,  in  twenty  semi-annual  instalments,  through  equip- 
ment trust  live  per  cent,  bonds,  to  issue  in  amount  of  eighty-eight  per  cent,  of  the  cash  cost  of  such  equipment 
secured  by  the  whole.  The  rolling  stock  placed  in  the  company's  use  through  this  medium  includes  87  locomo- 
tives, 890  box,  900  furniture,  100  ballast,  450  refrigerator,  12  dining,  7  chair,  and  2  parlor  cars,  all  of  the  best  con- 
struction and  most  improved  and  latest  standards,  of  a  cash  value  of  about  $2,500,000.  Most  of  this  equipment 
was  delivered  to  June  30  last,  upon  which  the  company  advanced  to  that  time  $2,099,981.90,  which  will  be  re- 
turned through  negotiation  of  the  equipment  trust  bonds  above  referred  to. 

In  1887  the  Denver  and  Santa  Fe  RR.  (now  a  part  of  the  Consolidated  System)  was  built  from  Pueblo  to 
Denver,  Col..  126.03  miles.  The  direct  net  cost  of  this  property  at  June  30,  1891,  was  $3,185,445.29,  its  original 
cost  having  been  reduced  to  this  sum  through  application  of  proceeds  from  sales  of  lands  acquired  with  the  prop- 
erty, of  $564,414.37. 

The  entire  length  of  this  railroad  practically  paralleled  a  part  of  the  Denver  and  Rio  Grande  RR.,  and  had  no 
means  of  securing  any  business  from  the  large  resources  of  interior  Colorado  except  what  might  be  given  it  by 
the  latter,  whiclTreached  to  all  important  points  in  the  State,  while  its  local  traffic  was  light  through  necessary 
division  with  the  Rio  Grande  line.  The  road,  in  this  situation,  was  a  drag  on  the  main  stem,  and  in  September, 
1890,  to  correct  this  condition  of  affairs  and  assure  to  the  company  its  proportion  of  the  general  traffic  of  Colorado, 
it  was  determined  to  purchase  outright  the  Colorado  Midland  Ry.  line,  extending  from  Colorado  Springe  through 
Aspen,  Leadville,  and  other  important  centres  of  business  in  Colorado,  to  Rifle  Creek  and  Grand  Junction,  at 
which  latter  point  connection  is  had  with  the  Rio  Grande  Western  Ry.,  thereby  not  only  drawing  a  large  and 
remunerative  traffic  to  the  Denver  division,  but  a  heavy  through  business  to  the  main  line. 

The  purchase  was  made  in  September,  1890,  without  increasing  the  share  capital  of  the  company,  and  at  a 
cash  cost  which  upon  final  adjustment  will  stand  at  about  $1,900,000,  and 'the  management  of  the  Colorado  Mid- 
land Railway  was  turned  over  to  the  Atchison  November  1,  1890.  Prior  to  the  actual  acquisition  of  this  property 
only  a  very  small  percentage  of  its  traffic  came  to  the  Atchison.  In  the  year  to  June  30, 1891,  which  included  Col- 
orado Midland  business  for  practically  eight  months  only,  the  earnings  ol  the  company's  railway  sy.-iem  from 
freight  received  from  and  delivered  to  the  Colorado  Midland  Railway  amounted  to  $421,365.20  ;  from  passengers. 
$51,711.08  ;  and  from  other  sources,  $6,485.68— an  aggregate  of  $479,561.96.  The  net  result  to  the  Atchison  Com 
pany  to  June  30,  1891,  deducting  all  expenses  in  carriage  of  the  traffic  producing  the  gross  earnings  stated,  was 
$139,072.97,  or  $62,247.17  more  than  the  deficit  of  the  Colorado  Midland  Railway  after  all  charges  of  every  descrip- 
tion for  the  same  year. 

On  the  Colorado  Midland  Railway  the  gross  earnings  increased  $243,475.79.  the  operating  expenses  $221,051.- 
62,  and  the  net  earnings  $22,424.17.  Tons  of  freight  carried  one  mile  increased  13,449,448,  and  passengers  one 
mile,  2,387,987. 

The  road  was  opened  for  through  business  in  connection  with  the  Rio  Grande  Western  Line  during  the  year, 
which  is  indicated  by  the  increased  average  haul  per  ton  of  freight  26.67  miles,  and  decrease  of  average  freight 
rate  per  ton  per  mile  of  .381  of  a  cent,  and  by  increased  average  haul  per  passenger  of  15.73  miles  and  decrease  of 
average  rate  per  passenger  per  mile  of  .591  of  a  cent. 

Products  of  mines  on  this  line,  consisting  of  coal,  ores,  etc.,  made  up  7T).79  per  cent,  of  its  freight  traffic  for  the 
year,  an  increase  over  the  previous  year  of  37,152.5  tons,  or  6.87  per  cent.  This  business,  with  the  through  connec- 
tions and  wide  distributing  advantages,  secured  through  the  now  close  relations  with  the  Atchison  System,  should 
increase  in  greater  proportion  during  the  current  year.

History.— Chartered  July  27,  1866,  and  34  miles  of  the  Central  Division,  to  Vinita,  Ind.  Ter.,  completed  in 
1873.  Work  was  begun  on  the  Western  Division  in  May,  1880,  and  it  was  completed  in  August,  1883.  The  exten- 
sion of  the  Central  Division  to  Sapulpa  was  built  between  1882  and  1886.  The  government  has  accepted  85  miles 
of  the  Central  Division.  (See  MANUAL  for  1891.) 

The  Mojave  Division  of  the  Southern  Pacific  RR.  is  held  under  a  contract  of  purchase  and  lease  dated  Aug- 
ust 20,  1884,  by  the  terms  of  which  this  company  agrees  to  purchase  the  line  \vhen  the  present  mortgage,  due  in 
April,  1905,  is  paid  off,  at  the  price  of  $30,000  per  mile,  payable  one-sixth  part  in  cash,  and  the  balance  in  cash  or

with  this  road  to  meet  any  deficiency  in  interest  on  first  mortgage  bonds,  such  advances  to  be  treated  as  a  loan, 
repayable  with  interest.  On  the  first  of  January,  1887,  the  company  made  a  new  issue  of  4  per  cent,  bonds, 
principal  and  interest  of  which  are  guaranteed  by  the  Atchison  and  the  San  Francisco  Companies,  as  stated

The  first  preferred  stock  has  preference  for  dividends  up  to  7  per  cent,  per  annum,  after 
which  the  preferred  has  preference  up  to  same  rate  ;  then  the  common  is  entitled  to  divi- 
dends up  to  7  per  cent,  per  annum.  When  the  three  classes  of  stock  shall  have  received 
dividends  at  the  uniform  rate  of  7  per  cent,  per  annum,  all  classes  are  to  share  equally,  pro 
rata,  in  any  excess  of  surplus  earnings  more  than  sufficient  to  pay  dividends  at  the  rates 
named.  (For  statement  of  dividends  paid  on  preferred  and  first  preferred  stock  see  MANUAL 
for  1891.)  No  payment  has  been  made  on  1st  preferred  since  February,  1890,  and  none  on

aud  Fond  du  Lac  RR.  Co.,  having  176.80  miles  of  railroad  completed  and  in  operation.     Tin- 
mileage  has  been  increased  to  its  present  extent  chiefly  through  medium  of  proprietary  « 
panies,  all  the  stocks  and  bonds  of  which  are  held  by  this  company.     In  1*81  rhe  conipnnv

Toledo  and  Northwestern   Ry.  having  385.19  miles  of  railroad  in   Iowa,  was  consolid 
with  the  Chicago  and  Northwestern. 

During  the  past  year  the  Junction  Ry.  Co.  completed  a  line  from  Montrose  to  North 
Evanston,  III.,  7.69  miles,  and  the  Paint  River  Ry.  Co.  one  of  15  miles,  from  Crystal  Falls  to 
Hemlock  Mine,  Mich. ;  the  former  opened  April  13.  1891,  and  the  latter  June  22,  1891.  Hotl' 
have,  since  the  close  of  the  fiscal  year,  been  merged  with  the  Chicago  and  Northwestern.

ern Companies.  The  Wisconsin  Central  Lines  .use  the  tracks  of  this  company's  Northern 
Division  from  Rugby  to  Milwaukee,  27.6  miles,  and  terminal  facilities  at  Milwaukee,  includ- 
ing access  to  the  industries  reached  by  the  tracks  of  this  company. 

Under  a  contract  made  in  1890,  and  to  endure  for  999  years,  the  company  has  equal  right 
to  the  use  of  the  Union  Pacific  tracks  from  Council  Bluffs,  la.,  to  Omaha,  Neb.,  including 
the  use  of  the  bridge  over  the  Missouri  River  at  Omaha,  and  of  the  Union  Passenger  Station 
ID  Omaha. 

On  October  1,  1890,  the  company  purchased  the  entire  capital  stock  of  the  Milwaukee 
and  Northern  RR.  Co.  ($6,158,250),  issuing  therefor  $6,158,300  common  stock,  and  by  that 
purchase  acquired  control  of  the  following  lines  of  railway  :  Milwaukee  and  Northern 
main  line,  Milwaukee,  Wis,  to  Champion,  Mich.,  254.20  miles ;  Outonagon  and  Brule  River 
Ry.,  Ontonagon  to  Sidnaw,  Mich.,  46  miles  ;  Oconto  and  Southwestern  Ry.,  Oconto  Junction 
to  Oconto,  Wis.,  12.50  miles  ;  branch  from  Hilbert  to  Neenah  and  Appleton,  Wis.,  22  miles  ; 
branch  from  Ellis  Junction  to  Marinette,  Wris.,  and  Menominee,  Mich.,  27.55  miles — a  total 
of  362.25  miles.  The  lines  included  in  this  purchase  have  been  merged  into  the  Milwaukee 
and  Northern  RR.  and  are  subject  to  an  issue  of  6  per  cent,  first  mortgage  bonds  of  that  com- 
pany, at  the  rate  of  $17,000  per  mile.  There  is  no  other  iucumbrance  on  the  property. 
The  railroads  are  operated  in  connection  with  this  company's  lines,  but  all  accounts  are  kept 
separate,  and  the  division  of  joint  rates  is  made  upon  the  basis  prescribed  by  a  contract  in 
force  at  the  time  of  the  purchase.

THOS,  C.   DAY  &  CO., 

FINANCIAL  AGENTS, 
72  East  flarket  St.,  Indianapolis,  Ind, 

We  have  dealt  for  twenty-five  years  in  flortgage  Loans 
with  safety  and  satisfaction  to  those  who  have  invested  money 
through  us.  Indiana,  as  a  loan  field,  stands  second  to  none. 
The  rate  of  interest  offered  here  mav  not  be  so  larore  as  is 

J  o 

promised  in  the  far  western  states,  but  it  is  more  certain  to  be 
paid,  the  security  offered  is  more  reliable,  and  the  risk  to  the 
investor  is,  in  this  field,  reduced  to  the  minimum. 

We  take  care  of  every  loan  we  make,  without  charge  to  the 
investor,  attending  to  all  the  details  until  the  loan  is  repaid  by 
the  borrower. 

We  also  buy  and  sell  Municipal  Bonds,  and  give  careful 
attention  to  any  financial  matters  confided  to  our  care.  Address 
as  above.

History. — The  Cincinnati,   Payetteville,    Hillsborough    and    Huntington    RR.    Co.  was 
organized  April  6,  1880,  to  succeed  a  company  which  had  been  organized  some  years  pre- 
viously to  build  a  road  from  Cincinnati  to  Nelsonville,  O.      Considerable  preliminary  work 
'had  been  done,  when  in  October,  1882,  that  portion  of  the  line  from  its  junction  with  the 
i  Chicago  and  Eastern  Ry.  to  Hillsborough  was  sold  to  the  Cincinnati,  Atlantic  and  Columbus 
|  RR.  Co.,  that  company  assuming  all  debts  of  the  C..  F.,  H.  &  H.  RR.  Co.     The  new  company 
completed  11  miles  of  road,  from  Milford  to  Xelsonville,  when  it  became  embarrassed,  and 
it  is  reported  to  have  passed  under  the  control  of  the  Cincinnati,  Georgetown  and  Portsmouth 
RR.  Co.     Subsequently  a  contract  was  entered  into  for  the  construction  of  a  section  of  the 
line  east  of  Hillsborough,  under  which  the  line  from  Adelphi  to  Kingston,  as  above,  was 
completed  and  formally  opened  December  22,  1885.      This  section  is  operated  by  the    con- 
tractor, John  Karshner,  who  will  control  it  until  it  shall  have  been  paid  for  by  the  company.

A  branch  is  projected  from  Denver  Union  Depot  to  Grand  Smelter,  2  miles.  The  Union 
Pacific  is  litigating  the  right  of  this  company  to  occupy  the  terminals  in  Denver.  After  that

We  commend  Mr.  Poor's  book,  as  it  deserves,  as  a  most  convenient,  reference  handbook  concerning  the 
history  of  silver  money  in  the  United  States,  the  monetary  history  of  other  countries,  and  other  matters  of  a 
similar  nature,  all  of  which  are  presented  incompact  and  convenient  shape,  and  fitted  to  the  hand  by  an  elaborate 
analytical  index. 
Philadelphia  ledger. 

A  timely  and  valuable  book,  which  cannot  bo  too  carefully  studied,  and  every  line  of  which  is  full  of 
warning  and  instruction. 
Xvut  York  Journal  of  Commerce. 

A  timely  and  valuable  contribution  to  a  subject  now  demanding  the  earnest  attention  of  every  thonghtfal 
citizen.    It  will  help  to  clear  away  much  of  the  fog  in  which  the  whole  question  of  the  currency  is  now  enveloped. 
It  is  in  no  sense  partisan,  and  is  addressed  wholly  to  the  reason  and  intelligence  of  the  reader.    It  is  indeed,  as 
it  is  called,  "A  Handbook  for  the  Times." 
Boston  Journal. 

This  volume  is  pungent  and  full  of  information.  It  is  very  fresh  and  suggestive,  and  contains  a  large 
amount  of  information  which  gives  it  value,  and  makes  it  stimulating  and  helpful  in  extending  and  directing 
financial  discussion.

HUDSON    SUSPENSION    BRIDGE   AND    NEW   ENGLAND  RAILWAY   CO. 

History. — Chartered  April  27,  1868,  to  build  a  bridge  over  the  Hudson  River  near  Peeks- 
kill,  and  approaches  extending  two  miles  from  each  end  of  the  bridge.  Charter  amended 
subsequently,  authorizing  extensions  westerly  to  Turner's,  southwardly  into  New  Jersey,  and 
eastwardly  to  the  Connecticut  State  line.  The  company  was  reorganized  in  January,  1888, 
and  since  then  the  work  has  been  actively  pushed  forward.  The  foundation  of  the  bridge 
tower  on  the  east  bank  of  the  river  is  completed,  and  that  on  the  west  bank  is  well  under 
way.  Work  upon  Bull  Hill  tunnel,  to  penetrate  the  ridge  intervening  between  the  river 
and  Turner's,  was  commenced  in  1889,  and  has  been  carried  on  since.  The  bridge  and  rail-

line  to  Cairo,  September  27,  1856.     (See  MANUAL  for  1889,  pp.  439  to  445.) 

The  charter  exempts  the  company's  property  from  taxation,  but  in  lieu  thereof  requires 
a  payment  to  the  State  of  7  per  cent,  of  the  gross  receipts  of  the  original  railroad,  705  50 
miles.  The  sum  so  paid  during  the  years  from  1855  to  June  30, 1891,  inclusive,  was  $12,707,-

controlled  by  it  nominally  under  lease  or  through  stock  ownership,  but  are  practically  parts 
of  the  Illinois  Central  property.  For  this  reason  no  separate  statements  of  these  lines  are 
given  in  the  MANUAL.  For  details  of  history,  reference  should  be  made  to  the  MANUAL  '

288  POOR'S  MANUAL — ILLINOIS  CENTRAL  RR.  co. 

EXTRACT  FROM  THE  COMPANY'S  REPORT  FOR  1891. 

"  In  order  to  simplifjr  the  accounts  and  to  reduce  expenses,  this  company  has  leased  from  the  Dubuqiie  and 
Sioux  City  Railroad  Company  its  railway,  524  miles  in  length,  together  with  its  interest  in  the  Ceder  Falls  and 
Minnesota  Railroad,  76  miles  in  length,  for  a  term  of  sixteen  years  from  July  1,  1890,  reserving  the  right  to  ter- 
minate the  lease  on  short  notice. 

"  The  only  liabilities  assumed  by  the  Illinois  Central  Railroad  Company  are  to  operate  and  maintain  those 
railways  and  to  pay  the  Dubuque  and  Sioux  City  Company,  during  the  continuance  of  the  lease,  their  net  earn- 
ings based  on  an  agreed  division  of  through  business.  The  lessor  is  to  provide  funds  for  all  betterments  as  they 
are  made. 

"  The  increase  in  the  rent  of  the  Chicago,  St.  Louis  and  New  Orleans  Railroad  is  more  apparent  than  real. 
The  $130,700  interest  on  the  Cairo  Bridge  bonds  reverts  to  this  company  as  part  of  its  income  from  investments. 
The  $27,655.82  sterling  exchange  premium  is  due  to  the  payment  in  sterling  money  of  268  New  Orleans,  Jackson 
and  Great  Northern  8  per  cent,  bonds  of  £225  (approximately  $1,100)  each,  which  have  always  stood  on  the  books 
of  the  C.,  St.  L.  &  N.  O.  RR.  Co.  and  of  this  company  as  a  liability  for  $1,000  each.  The  $1,480,000  N.  O.,  J.  & 
G.  N.  8  per  cent,  bonds  outstanding  June  30,  1880,  fell  due  October  1,  1890,  and  have  been  funded  into  5  per  cent, 
bonds.  The  interest  due  December  15,  1890,  and  June  15,  1891,  on  the  latter  has  been  paid,  as  well  as  that  due 
October  1,  1890,  on  the  8  per  cent,  bonds.  The  rent  for  the  ensuing  year  will  be  approximately  $1,045,300. 

"  Contrary  to  all  expectation,  the  completion  of  the  Chicago,  Madison  and  Northern  Railroad  was  again, 
delayed  by  fresh  complications  concerning  the  crossing  of  other  railroads  ;  but  since  the  close  of  the  fiscal  year 
all  necessary  contracts  have  been  executed,  and  the  tracks  are  now  connected  and  in  daily  use. 

"  These  delays  not  only  required  the  direct  payment  to  other  companies  of  upwards  of  $70,000,  for  the  use 
of  their  tracks,  but  also  entailed  large  losses  for  damages  to  persons  killed  and  injured  by  reason  of  a  train  of  an- 
other company  running  into  the  rear  of  one  of  our  passenger  trains  while  on  the  track  of  that  company. 

"  The  company's  wharf  rights  in  New  Orleans  have  been  renewed  for  a  term  of  twenty-five  years,  and  their 
extent  materially  increased. 

"  The  contract  with  the  Pullman  Company  has  been  abrogated  by  consent,  and  a  new  one  entered  into,  under 
which  the  payment  for  sleeeping-car  service  is  reduced  from  three  cents  to  two  cents  per  mile,  the  Pullman  Com- 
pany agreeing  to  furnish  cars  of  the  highest  standard. 

"For  advances  made  to  the  Dubuque  and  Sioux  City  Railroad  Company  during  the  past  year  there  have 
been  received  $236,000  of  the  5  per  cent,  bonds  of  that  company.  The  attention  of  the  proprietors  is  invited  to 


the  report  of  that  company  submitted  herewith. 
"  There  have  been  sold  Illinois  Central  < 


4  per  cent,  gold  bonds  of  1952  to  the  amount  of  $1,818,000.  Of  these 
bonds  there  remain  unsold  $1,437,000,  of  which  there  have  been  set  apart  for  surplus  dividend  fund  $210,000T 
and  to  the  insurance  fund,  $5,000. 

"  As  shown  in  greater  detail  in  the  accompanying  tables,  the  outlay  on  capital  account  has  been  as  follows  :

"  The  litigation  which  has  been  pending  with  the  Baltimore  and  Ohio  Railroad  Company  for  six  or  seven 
years,  concerning  lands  and  the  use  of  tracks  in  Chicago,  having  resulted  in  a  final  judgment  favorable  to  your 
company,  possession  was  taken  in  April  last.  The  ground  rents  have  been  collected  with  interest,  and  the  Bal- 
timore and  Ohio  Company  are  now  occupying  other  lands  of  this  company  and  using  its  tracks  under  a  temporary 
arrangement  at  an  enhanced  rent.  The  land  in  controversy,  which  was  rented  to  the  Baltimore  and  Ohio  Com- 
pany in  1874,  lies  in  the  middle  of  the  Terminal  Freight  Yard  in  Chicago,  and  its  recovery  makes  it  now  possible 
to  remodel  that  yard  so  as  to  handle  cars  and  merchandise  with  economy  and  despatch.  This,  in  connection  with 
the  new  yard  at  Fordham,  referred  to  below,  will  enable  the  company  to  handle  the  freight  traffic  incident  to  the 
World's  Fair  to  be  held  in  1893,  without  regard  to  whether  its  rights  to  make  additional  land  on  the  lake  front  be 
determined  in  the  meanwhile  or  not. 

"In  the  matter  of  the  litigation  concerning  the  lease  of  the  Cedar  Falls  and  Minnesota  Railroad  to  the 
Dubuque  and  Sioux  City  Railroad  Company  for  the  term  of  forty  years  from  January  1,  1867,  which  was  on  Sep- 
tember 13.  1867,  assumed  by  the  Illinois  Central  Railroad  Company  in  leasing  the  Dubuque  and  Sioux  City  Rail- 
road for  a  term  of  twenty  years  from  October  1,  1867,  the  Circuit  Court  of  the  United  States  has  said  that  . 
the  Illinois  Central  Railroad  Company,  t»o  long,  and  only  so  Jong,  as  it  retained  the  Dubuque  road  as  lessee,  would 
meet  the  obligations  imposed  upon  the  Dubuque  Company  in  respect  to  the  lease  of  the  Cedar  Falls  road. 

"  The  Court  further  held  that  the  lease  of  the  Cedar  Falls  Railroad  executed  September  27,  1866,  is  valid  and  i 
binding  upon  the  Dubuque  and  Sioux  City  Railroad  Company.    Appeals  have  been  taken  to  the  Supreme  Court  i 
of  the  United  States  by  both  the  Dubuque  Company  and  the  Cedar  Falls  Company." 
Of  the  five  million  of  dollars  of  stock  offered  to  the  shareholders  for  subscription  on  Novem- 
ber 1,  1890,  there  were  taken $5a5.450 

During  the  remainder  of  the  fiscal  year  there  were  sold  961,325 

Making  the  sum  realized  from  this  source  previous  to  June  30,  1891 $1,496,776 

And  leaving  in  the  treasury  of  the  company  June  30,  1891 $3,503,5 

Of  which  there  have  been  sold  since  the  close  of  the  fiscal  year $2,100,(

KEOKUK   AND   HAMILTON   BRIDGE   COMPANY. 

This  company,  a  consolidation  of  the  Hancock  County  and  the  Keokuk  and  Hamilton 
Mississippi  Bridge  Cos.,  owns  the  bridge  across  the  Mississsippi  River  at  Keokuk,  la.  (See 
MANUAL  for  1889.) 

Under  a  contract  dated  January  19,  1869,  made  between  this  company  and  the  Toledo, 
Peoria  and  Warsaw  RR.  Co.,  the  Des  Moines  Valley  Ry.  Co.,  the  Columbus,  Chicago  and 


316 

Indiana  Central  Ry.  Co.,  and  the  Toledo,  Wabash  and  Western  Ry.  Co.,  it  was  agreed  that 
this  company  should  build,  maintain,  and  operate  the  bridge  and  pay  taxes  and  expenses  of 
operation,  and  the  other  parties  should  use  it  in  perpetuity,  and  pay  tolls  for  use  as  by  a 
schedule  made  part  of  the  agreement ;  and,  should  any  deficiency  arise  in  the  income  of  the 
bridge  to  produce  a  sufficient  amount  to  pay  operating  expenses  and  8  per  cent,  interest  on 
$1,000,000  of  bonds  issued  for  construction,  that  the  four  parties,  each  for  itself  and  not  for 
the  others,  should  pay  one-fourth  part  of  the  deficiency,  settlement  to  be  made  each  six 
months. 

Since  that  time  the  Des  Moines  Valley  Ry.  Co.  has  ceased  to  exist.  The  Toledo,  Peoria 
and  Western  RR.  Co.  (the  present  owner  of  the  Toledo,  Peoria  and  Warsaw  RR.)  and  the 
Wabash  RR.  Co.  (the  present  owner  of  the  Toledo,  Wabash  and  Western  RR.)  are  the  only 
companies  which  use  the  bridge  for  railway  purposes.  The  bridge  is  also  used  for  wagon 
and  foot  passengers. 

The  Pittsburgh,  Cincinnati  and  St.  Louis  RR.  Co.  and  the  Pennsylvania  RR.  Co.  (who 
assumed  the  liability  of  the  Columbus,  Chicago  and  Indiana  Central  Ry.  Co.)  were  sued  for 
deficiency  under  the  contract,  and  judgments  were  entered  against  them  for  one-fourth  the 
deficiency,  the  United  States  Supreme  Court  deciding  that  "  the  bridge  contract  is  valid  and 
binding  as  between  the  parties  to  this  suit." 

Financial  Statement.— Capital  stock,  $1,000,000  ;  funded  debt,  $1,000,000  1st  mortgage

History.—  Chartered  as  the  Delaware,  Lehigh,  Schuylkill  and  Susquehanna  RR.  Co., 
Septemuer20,  1847;  under  existing  title,  January  7,  1853.  The  main  line  in  Pennsylvania 
was  completed  in  October,  1855.  The  company  absorbed  the  Beaver  Meadow  RR.  in  July, 
and  thePenn  Haven  and  White  Haven  RR.  in  August,  1864  ;  the  Lehigh  and  Mahanoy  RR. 
in  June,  1866  ;  the  Hazleton  and  the  Lehigh  Luzerne  RRs.  in  June,  1868. 

The  Easton  and  Amboy  RR.  in  Xew  Jersey,  now  operated  as  a  part  of  the  main  line,  was 
opened  in  June,  1875.  It  was  built  under  a  separate  charter,  but  is  owned  by  the  Lehigh 
Valley  RR,  Co.  The  Clinton  Branch  was  opened  Xovember  22,  1881,  and  the  Flemington 
and  Paper  Mill  Branches  in  1884. 

The  company  owns  a  controlling  interest  in  the  Pennsylvania  and  New  York  RR.  (leased 
for  99  years  from  December  1,  1888),  and  leases  the  Southern  Central  RR.  of  Xew  York. 

EXTRACT  FROM  THE  COMPANY'S  REPORT  FOR  1891. 

"  The  Lehigh  Valley  Ry.  Co.1?  new  line  from  Geneva  to  Buffalo  is  completed.  The  masonry  and  bridging' 
are  completed  for  second  track  upon  this  part  of  the  road,  and  the  grading  will  be  finished  during  the  winter. 
The  Geneva  and  Van  Ettenville  line  is  also  well  under  way,  and  both  will  be  ready  for  business  by  May  next,  at 
which  time  our  contract  with  the  New  York.  Lake  Erie  and  Western  RR.  Co.  expires,  when  the  revenue  hereto- 
fore paid  to  that  company  for  the  use  of  their  lines  will  inure  to  this  company. 

"  Arrangements  having  been  made  with  the  New  York  Central  and  Hudson  River  RR.  Co.,  which,  during  the 
:  .  acquired  control  of  the  Rome,  Watertown  and  Ogdensburg  RR.,  providing  for  our  business  to  and 
from  the  bridges  across  the  Niagara  River  and  Buffalo,  Batavia,  and  intermediate  points,  the  building  of  the  pro- 
posed road  between  Buffalo  and  the  bridges  btcame  unnecessary,  and  all  expenditures  toward  that  end  ceased 
early  in  the  year. 


Rochrxttruin.^  Honeoye  Valley  RR.  Co.,  including  about  twenty  acres  of  land  in  the  city  of  Rochester, 
is  now  controlled  in  the  interest  of  this  company.  Rapid  progress  is  being  made  in  the  construction  of  the  road 
between  Rochester  and  the  junction  with  our  main  line  (about  fourteen  miles),  and  we  expect  early  in  the  year  to 
ran  our  trains  and  do  business  to  and  from  that  city.

?age  for  $10.000.000  to  secure  a  like  amount  of  5  per  cent.  50-year  gold  bonds.     Seven  million  dollars  of  these 

"  During  the  year  the  National  DOCKS  Ry.  Co..  in  which  we  have  an  interest,  consolidated  with  the  Bergen 
t  Ry.  Co.  and  the  Jersey  City  and  Western  RR.  Co..  under  the  old  title  of  the  National  Docks  Ry.Co.    A 
complete  line  of  railroad  is  thus  provided  from  Point  of  Rocks  to  Constable  Hook. 

"  During  rhe  past  autumn  the  lie*-/  Side  Conntc/inr/  Ri/..  extending  from  our  main  line  at  Port  Bowkley  to  a

••  It  will  be  noticed  that,  notwithstanding  the  increase  heretofore  referred  to  of  over  4,500,000  gross  tons  of 
anthracite  coal  produced  during  the  year  1891,  the  shipments  from  the  collieries  owned  and  operated  .by  the 
Lehigh  Valley  Coal  Company  again  fell  off.  whilst  tho*e  of  tenants  increased  largely.  The  policy  of  surrender- 
ing the  coal  company's  tonnage  for  that  of  tenants  and  individual  operaters  is  a  costly  one,  sojnnch  so  that  the 
slurlit  increase  for  the  year  in  the  price  received  for  the  coal  at  the  mines  was  more  than  offset  by  the  greater  cost 
of  production  due  to  operating  the  collieries  at  less  than  one-half  time.  The  immediate  remedy  for  thi-  i?  to 
close  down  more  of  the  coal  company's  mines  and  operate  the  remaining  ones  fuller  time.  Orders  have  been 

¥'veii  to  that  effect.    The  operations  on  the  Snow  Shoe  property  during  18'Jl  have  been  comparatively  satisfactory. 
here  were  shipped  from  there  during  the  year  110.367.2  tons  of  bituminous  coal  and  64.967.7  tons  of  coke.     The 
plant  of  200  coke  ovens  at  Sugar  Camp  mines  was  worked  about  three  quarters  time.    The  improvement  accounts 
for  mines  and  ovens  were  reduced  §13,263.49  during  ihe  year,  which  was  included  in  the  cost  of  coal  and  coke.''

History.— Chartered  February  2,  1846  ;  road  opened  July  4,  1858.  The  branch  from 
the  depot  to  the  levee  in  Memphis  was  constructed  in  1875-76.  The  road  was  leased  to  the 
East  Tennessee,  Virginia  and  Georgia  RR.  Co.  June  2,  1877,  for  20  years  from  July  1,  1877, 
the  lessee  agreeing  to  pay  over  to  this  company  any  surplus  of  net  earnings  after  paying 
interest  on  bonds.  On  April  29,  1887,  a  cancellation  of  this  lease  was  entered  of  record  in 
the  Chancery  Court  at  Memphis,  Tenn.,  and  formal  transfer  of  the  railroad  and  property 
was  thereupon  made.  The  road  is  controlled  by  the  East  Tennessee,  Virginia  and  Georgia 
RR.  Co..  through  ownership  of  a  majority  of  the  capital  stock. 

The  Nashville,  Chattanooga  and  St.  Louis  Ry.  tracks  are  used  under  a  10-year  contract, 
dated  October  1,  1880,  at  a  rental  of  $5,000  a  month.

In  addition  to  the  debentures  represented  above,  there  were  outstanding  July  1,  1891, 
$4,031,600  first  debentures,  $1,777,700  second  debentures,  $592,000  third  debentures,  and 
$894,200  fourth  debentures,  making  a  total  of  $7,295,500  debentures  transferred  to  and  stand-

trustee  of  the  general  mortgage,  and  $1,230,000  first  debentures  held  in  the  sinking  fund. 

The  1st  mortgage  6s  of  1927  are  secured  by  a  first  lien  on  the  main  line  from  Mobile,  Ala., 
to  Columbus  Ky.,  472  miles,  and  the  first  mortgage  Extension  6s  of  1927  are  secured  by  a  first

tenance and  operation  and  of  the  interest  on  the  first  mortgage  bonds. 

Of  the  $1,000,000  Extemion  bonds,  $600,000  were  issued  for  a  like  amount  of  Cairo  Exten-

in  sums  of  $500  into  bonds  of  the  new  issue  ;  and  thereafter  no  right  to  enforce  the  mortgage 
security  shall  arise  in  consequence  of  failure  to  pay  interest  until  there  shall  have  been  four 
successive  coupons  in  default.  The  interest  due  March,  1889,  was  paid  in  scrip,  and  that  due

the  Farmers'  Loan  and  Trust  Company,  to  be  exchanged  for  debentures  ;  $1.766,500  are  in 
the  treasury  of  the  company  for  its  general  purposes,  and  $529,500  have  been  cancelled. 

"  By  the  provisions  of  th*  general  mortgage,  the  holder  of  each  $500  thereof  is  entitled 
to  one  vote  under  the  deed  of  trust  of  May  15,  1888,  at  all  meetings  held  for  the  purpose  of 
directing  the  Farmers'  Loan  and  Trust  Co.  how  to  vote  upon  the  debentures  held  by  it  for  the 
benefit  and  security  of  the  said  general  mortgage  bonds,  and  for  this  purpose  a  '  voting  regis- 
ter' has  been  established  at  the  office  of  the  company  in  the  city  of  New  York,  where  such 
voting  power  is  inscribed  in  the  names  of  the  parties  to  whom  the  said  general  mortgage 
bonds  may  have  been  originally  issued,  ard  where  any  succeeding  holder  of  the  bonds  may, 
from  time  to  time,  have  the  same  inscribed  in  his  own  name  for  voting  purposes,  as  is  fully 
set  forth  in  the  deed  of  trust  of  May  15,  1888."

POOR'S  BUREAU 


OF 


Information  and  Investigation, 

Conducted    in  connection  with  and  as  an  adjunct  to 

Poor's    Manual   of    Railroads, 

WILL  FURNISH  UPON  ORDER 

Detailed  information  relative  to  new  or  projected  Railroads, 

Analyses  of  Railroad  and  other  reports, 

Statistics  of  Steam,  Electric,  Cable  and  Horse  Railways, 

Advance  information  relative  to  Railroad  reports,  etc. ;  or  will  make 

Full   and  comprehensive  investigations  into  Railroad   mortgages,  bonds,  leases  or 
other  contracts. 

In  a  word,  we  propose  to  furnish  information  of  any  character  coming  within  the  scope 
of  this  Bureau,  but  not  contained  in  or  within  the  province  of  our  three  annual  publica- 
tions, viz.: 

POOR'S  MANUAL,  OF  RAILROADS, 

POOR'S  HAND-BOOK  ON  INVESTMENT  SECURITIES, 

POOR'S  DIRECTORY  OF  RAILWAY  OFFICIALS  and 

MANUAL  OF  AMERICAN  STREET  RAILWAYS. 

Subscribers  to  any  of  the  above-named  works  may  address  their  inquiries  to  us,  and 
a  prompt  reply  will  be  mailed  at  a  cost  based  upon  the  length  of  time  occupied  on  the  work. 

Special  attention  will  be  given  to  the  preparation  of  Historical  Statements  of  existing 
or  defunct  corporations  ;  to  investigations  into  the  value  of  old  railroad  bonds,  and  to  the 
preparation  of  statistical  exhibits  designed  to  show  the  value  of  railroad  securities.  Besides 
this,  investigations  will  be  made  at  anytime  through  official  channels  into  the  status  of 
new  projects,  and  reports  made  thereon.  Proceedings  in  foreclosure  or  reorganization  will 
be  carefully  followed,  and  all  facts  relating  to  such  proceedings  noted  for  reference. 

It  is  believed  that  the  establishment  of  this  Bureau  will  prove  of  great  benefit  to  the 
subscribers  for  our  annual  publications,  as  it  will  enable  them  at  a  nominal  cost  to  avail  of 
our  unequalled  facilities  for  the  collection  of  news  items  relative  to  Railroad  Invest- 
ments or  projects,  besides  securing  the  privilege  of  access  to  our  Library,  which  contains 
all  reports  and  documents  issued  during  the  past  half  century. 

Annual  subscribers  to  this  Bureau  may  call  for  whatever  information  they  desire 
during  the  period  of  their  subscription.  Terms  upon  application.  Address

POOR'S   MANUAL — NEW   YORK,    LAKE   ERIE   AND    WESTERN    BR.  CO.  417 


History. — Reorganization,  April  27,  1878,  of  the  Erie  Ry.  Co.,  whose  property  was  sold 
under  foreclosure  April  24,  1878.  (For  plan  of  reorganization  and  early  history,  see  MANUAL. 
for  1890,  page  120,  et  aeq.) 

The  tracks  of  the  Cincinnati,  Hamilton,  and  Dayton  RR.  are  used  to  gain  entrance  into 
Cincinnati,  under  a  contract  dated  April  24,  1890.  At  the  same  time  arrangements  were  made 
for  through  car  service  between  New  York,  Indianapolis,  Ind.,  and  Lima,  O. 

For  further  particulars  in  reference  to  the  leased  and  operated  roads,  see  statements  for 
the  several  companies,  appended  hereto.  In  addition  to  lines  of  railroad  shown  below,  the 
Erie  Company  controls  the  Chicago  and  Erie,  the  Erie  and  Wyoming  Valley,  and  tLe  Barclay 
RRs. 

The  Buffalo,  Rochester,  aud  Pittsburgh  RR.  Co.  uses  part  of  this  company's  track  under 
contract.  (See  statement  of  B.,  R.  &  P.  RR.  Co.;  also  MANUAL  for  1883,  pages  173,  174,  and 
175,  for  terms  of  this  contract.) 

The  contract  with  the  Delaware  and  Hudson  Canal  Co.  having  expired,  a  new  one  to  run  to 
January  25,  1898,  was  made,  embracing  largely  the  features  of  the  old  one  ;  the  Canal  Co., 
however,  to  pay  a  reduced  rate  of  trackage  on  the  Jefferson  Branch.  An  agreement  was  also 
made  releasing  this  company  from  the  payment  of  interest  which  it  had  previously  made  to 
the  Canal  Co.  under  its  guaranty  of  Boston,  Hartford  and  Erie  bonds. 

EXTRACTS  FROM  THE  COMPANY'S  REPORT  FOR  1891. 

Chicago  and  Erie  Railroad. — "  As  stated  in  the  last  annual  report,  the  Chicago  and  Erie  RR.  Co.  began  to 
operate  this  road  on  September  1.  1890.  The  fiscal  year  of  the  company  ends  on  the  30th  of  June  of  each  year. 
The  first  was  but  a  fractional  year,  covering  a  period  of  ten  months  from  September  1, 1890,  to  and  including  June 
30, 1891.  Under  the  arrangement  set  forth  in  the  income  mortgage,  the  gross  earnings  of  the  road  for  these  ten 
months  were  $2,159,429.80.  Assuming  these  ten  months  as  ten-twelfths  of  a  year  would  make  the  gross  earnings 
for  the  year  32.591,315.76,  and  the  terms  of  the  said  arrangement  would  require  that  25  per  cent,  thereof  be  applied 
to  the  interest  on  the  first  mortgage  bonds,  and  also  the  income  bonds  (after  the  payment  of  the  balance  of 
the  debt  due  to  your  company,  $216,000)  :  25  per  cent,  of  $2,159,429.80  equals  8539,857.45  ;  deduct  interest  on  the 
outstanding  first  mortgage  bonds  for  said  ten  months,  §342,959.66,  leaves  $196,897.79;  which  amount  has  been 
credited  to  the  New  York,  Lake  Erie  and  Western  RR.  Co.,  as  payment  on  account  of  the  debt  of  §216,000  as 
stated  above. 

'•The  physical  condition  of  the  property  has  been  very  materially  improved  during  the  \>&6tyear.  New  iron 
bridges  with  masonry  abutments  have  been  substituted  for  wooden  structures  and  timber  abutments.  Many 
miles  of  the  road  have  been  thoroughly  ballasted,  and  the  work  is  to  be  completed  next  season.  New  locomotive* 
and  care  have  also  been  provided  for. 

"Under  the  reorganization  plan,  82,000,000  of  the  first  mortgage  bonds  of  the  company  were  reserved  for 
betterments  and  improvements,  and  for  acquiring  equipment  for  the  road.  During  the  fractional  year  of  ten 
months  above  stated,  the  company  disposed  of  8591,000  of  these  bonds  for  said  purposes,  leaving  $1,409,000  etiil  to 
be  devoted  to  like  purposes." 

Erie  and  Genesee  Valley  Railroad.—"  The  litigation  by  which  it  was  attempted  to  hold  this  company  (X.  Y.. 
L.  &  E.  RR.  Co. »  responsible  for  the  principal  and  interest  on  bonds  of  the  Erie  and  Genesee  Valley  RR.  was 
finally  brought  to  a  favorable  termination.  In  order,  however,  to  keep  the  road  open,  its  operation  was  con- 
tinued under  an  agreement  which  provided  that  there  should  be  no  liability  for  the  payment  of  rent.  This 
arrangement  continued  until  October  22,  1891,  when  your  company,  having  been  notified  that  it  was  at  an  end, 
withdrew  its  trains  and  equipment  from  the  road,  and  ceased  its  operation."

POOR'S   MANUAL — NEW   YORK,   LAKE   ERIE   AND    WESTERN   RR.  CO. 


Main  Street,  Buffalo,  to  International  Branch,  4.50  miles;  from  International  Junction  to 
Black  Hock,  N.  Y.,  1.14  miles,  and  from  Hamilton  to  Lakeville,  N.  Y.,  1.08  miles  ;  and  on 
various  leasehold  interests  in  506.94  miles  of  road  covered  by  $14,409,500  prior  mortgages, 
and  in  the  Niagara  River  and  Erie  and  the  Brock  port  and  Shawmut  KRs. 

In  June,  18S4,  the  company  defaulted  in  the  payment  of  interet-t  on  its  second  consoli- 
dated mortgage  bonds,  and  subsequently  on  the  rental  due  the  Buffalo  and  Southwestern  and 
the  interests  on  certain  classes  of  car  trusts. 

An  adjustment  of  the  two  latter  defaults  was  afterward  effected— in  the  case  of  the  Buf- 
falo and  Southwestern  RR.  by  the  payment  of  the  rental  i>>  dispute,  the  Erie  also  securing  a 
modification  of  the  lease  by  the  reduction  of  the  rental  charge  from  35  per  cent,  of  its  gross 
earnings  to  27-^  per  cent.,  with  the  condition  that  should  such  percentage  be  insufficient  to 
provide  for  the  interest  charges  on  the  Buffalo  and  Southwestern  bonds,  the  Erie  should 
make  good  tbe  deficit. 

Under  the  original  agreements  governing  the  car  trusts,  there  was  payable  in  1885  on 
account  of  principal  and  interes',  $1,201,200.  Tbe  company,  however,  proposed  to  holders 
of  those  securities  that  no  drawing  of  principal  should  be  made  in  1885,  that  one*  per  cent, 
each  should  be  paid  on  that  account  in  1886  and  1887,  two  per  cent,  each  in  1888  and  1889, 
and  not  less  than  six  per  cent,  yearly  thereafter.  The  company  further  agreed  to  pay  the 
interest  regularly  on  condition  that  the  rate  on  series  "  F  "  and  "  Q  "  should  be  reduced  to  5 
per  cent.  This  proposition  lias  been  accepted  by  nearly  92  per  cent,  of  the  holdeis,  and  in- 
terest payments  have  been  made  to  them  regularly  since. 

In  June,  1890,  the  Court  of  Appeals  decided  the  litigation  brought  by  tbe  non-assenting 
holders  of  certificates  of  the  old  car  trusts,  series  "  F"  and  "G,"  against  this  company,  hold- 
ing that  these  holders  are  entitled  to  6  per  cent,  dividends.  Such  of  these  certificates  as  have 
been  presented  were  purchased  by  the  company  at  par  and  accrued  interest,  amounting  to 
about  $650,000,  thus  reducing  the  car  trusts  to  that  extent. 

The  total  amount  of  capital  stock  issued  to  September  30,  1891,  is,  as  given,  $85,951,100 ; 
amount  of  assented  stock  unissued,  $169,600  :  amount  on  hand  subject  to  sale  (common, 
4,162  shares),  $416,200.  Total  amount  authorized,  $86,536,900.

History. — Organized  in  November  1879,  as  successor  to  the  New  York  and  Oswego  Mid- 
land RR.  Co.  (See  MANUAL  for  1888,  page  225.)  Since  July  1,  1890,  the  accounts  of  the 
Utica  Division  (U.,  C.  &  B.  and  R.  &  C.  RRs.)  have  been  included.  The  Zig-Zag  tunnel 
was  completed  in  June,  1891.  (See  MANUAL  for  1890,  page  136.) 

For  use  of  tracks  from  Cornwall  to  Weehawken  the  company  pays  till  January  1,  1896, 
for  each  passenger  train  of  8  cars  or  less,  20  cents  per  mile,  and  for  every  additional  car,. 
24-  cents  per  mile  ,  for  freight  or  mixed  trains  of  40  cars  or  less  (basis  of  8  wheels),  30  cents 
per  mile,  and  f  cent  per  mile  for  every  additional  car.  After  January  1,  1896,  the  company 
is  to  pay  only  its  proportionate  share  of  the  cost  of  maintenance,  and  a  like  proportion  of  the 
interest  at  4  per  cent,  on  $2,000,000  plus  the  amount  expended  for  necessary  improvements 
subsequent  to  January  1,  1886.  Provision  is  also  made  for  cars  of  each  company  to  be  hauled 
by  the  trains  of  the  other  company,  in  order  to  reduce  expenses  of  each  company.  The 
agreement  is  to  run  till  May  12,  2079,  but  the  Ontario  Co.  has  the  option  of  terminating  it 
after  May  12,  1980.

History. — Chartered  in  1864  ;  construction  begun  in  July,  1870,  and  the  entire  main  line 
from  Ashland,  Wis.  to  Portland,  Ore.,  opened  September  9,1883.  The  line  between  N.  P. 
Junction  and  Duluth,  23.50  miles,  is  owned  jointly  with  the  St.  Paul  and  Duluth  RR.  Co., 
each  company  contributing  to  its  maintenance  on  the  basis  of  train  mileage.  (See  MAMJAL 
for  1885,  page  718  ;  MANUAL  for  1886,  pa^e  10  ;  and  MANUAL  for  1888,  page  861.) 

The  Wisconsin  Central  lines  are  leased  for  99  years  from  April  1,  1890,  on  terms  as  shown 
in  the  statement  for  the  Wisconsin  Central  Company,  page  457. 

The  St.  Paul  and  Northern  Pacific  Ry.  and  the  lines  built  by  the  Oregon  and  Transcon- 
tinental Co.  are  controlled  under  agreements,  the  terms  of  which  are  given  in  the  statements 
for  the  several  lines. 

In  July,  1890,  this  company  acquired  a  controlling  interest  in  the  Seattle,  Lake  Shore  and 
Eastern  RR.  Co.  (statement  for  which  see)  and  guaranteed  by  endorsement  both  principal  and 
interest  of  its  bonds. 

On  August  18,  1890,  the  Northern  Pacific  and  Manitoba  RR., comprising  263. 54  miles,  and 
heretofore  operated  independently %  but  in  the  interest  of  the  Northern  Pacific,  was  formally 
turned  over  to  the  management  of  this  company  under  contract  dated  July  1,  1890.

Of  the  excellence  and  completeness  of  the  work  the  publishers  present  the  following 
testimonial  : 

"  The  undersigned,  having  carefully  examined  the  work  recently  published  by  Mr.  HENRY  V. 
POOR  upon  the  subject  of  MONEY,  hereby  express  their  conviction  that  he  has  unfolded  its  NATURE 
and  LAWS  with  an  amplitude  and  clearness  which  have  all  the  force  of  demonstration.  His  assump- 
tion of  treating  money  as  a  subject  coming  within  the  range  of  the  exact  sciences  has  been  well 
sustained.  The  application  of  the  principles  laid  down  in  the  first  part  of  his  work  cannot  fail  to 
restore  order  in  the  place  of  the  chaos  of  opinion  which  now  prevails,  and  to  point  out.  unmistakably, 
the  conditions  necessary  to  a  restoration  of  the  currency  of  the  country  to  the  standard  <  >i'  coin.  We 
commend  the  work  to  the  public  as  an  able,  scholarly,  painstaking,  and  exhaustive  treatise  upon  a 
subject  in  which  is  involved,  more  than  in  any  other  now  engaging  their  attention,  the  welfare  of 
the  people  of  the  United  States."

The  lands  in  Minnesota  and  Dakota  east  of  the  Missouri  River  are  pledged  to  the  redemption 
of  the  preferred  stock  ;  but  in  the  event  of  a  default  in  the  payment  of  interest  on  these

change to  February  1,  1892,  $45,329,000. 

Under  the  operation  of  the  consolidated  mortgage,  the  funded  debt  is  converted  from  a 
sinking  fund  to  a  non-sinking  fund  debt  by  reason  of  the  fact  that  consolidated  mortgage 
bonds  take  the  place  of  prior  bonds  retired  by  operation  of  the  sinking  funds.  Under  this 
provision  there  has  been  acquired  by  the  company  $l,b22,000  in  consolidated  bonds  in  lieu  of 
a  like  amount  in  first  and  second  mortgage  bonds  retired  by  action  of  their  respective  sinking 
funds. 

Up  to  the  end  of  the  fiscal  year,  underlying  branch  bonds  to  the  amount  of  $12,350,000 
have  been  retired  by  the  substitution  of  a  like  amount  of  consolidated  bonds,  making  the 
latter  a  first  lien  on  612.59  miles  of  completed  road.  There  has  also  been  issued  $15,944,000 
of  consolidated  bonds  for  the  construction  and  acquirement  of  new  road  aggregating  663.72 
miles,  on  which  they  are  also  a  first  lit  n.  The  consolidated  mortgage  bonds,  therefore,  are 
now  secured  by  a  first  lien  upon  1,276.31  miles. 

In  addition  to  its  bonded  debt,  as  above,  the  Northern  Pacific  RR.  Co.  is  liable,  under 
lease  agreement,  for  interest  on  bonds  of  the  St.  Paul  and  Northern  Pacific  RR.  Co.,  of  which 
there  were  outstanding  on  June  30,  1891,  $7,923,000;  and,  under  joint  guarantee,  for  interest 
on  $3,000,000  bonds  of  the  Northern  Pacific  Terminal  Co.  of  Oregon;  and,  under  guarantee,

On  July  1,  1888,  the  company  began  to  operate  the  entire  Wisconsin  Central  System, 
with  the  exception  of  the  Wisconsin  Central  Railroad  and  its  leased  line,  the  Milwaukee  and 
Lake  Winnebago  Railroad,  which  remained  in  the  hands  of  the  trusteea  until  November  1, 
1889.  (See  statement  for  Wisconsin  Central  Railroad  Company.) 

Leased  for  99  years  from  April  1,  1890,  to  the  Northern  Paci6c  RR.  Co.  at  a  rental  of 
o7)r  per  cent,  of  gross  earnings  for  the  Milwaukee  and  Lake  Wiunebago,  and  the  Chicago, 
Wisconsin  and  Minnesota  RRs.,  and  35  per  cent,  of  gross  earnings  for  the  rest  of  the  system. 
It  is  also  provided  that  whenever  the  operating  expenses  in  any  year  fall  below  59  per  cent, 
of  gross  earnings  one-half  the  amount  thus  saved  is  to  be  added  to  the  rental.  The  lease  is 
subject  to  revisal  in  November,  1895,  and  again  in  1900  and  1905,  and  every  ten  years  there- 
after. 

The  Wise  nsin  Central  Co.  and  the  Wisconsin  Central  RR.  Co.  are  a  financial  unit,  since 
the  first-named  owns  the  notes,  stocks,  and  income  bonds  of  the  second.  Legal  reasons  and 
protection  of  land  titles  require  separate  corporate  existence  to  be  maintained,  but  the  con- 
solidated account  of  these  two  companies  alone  shows  the  real  value  of  the  Wisconsin  Cen- 
tral securities  now  in  the  market. 

The  Milwaukee  and  Lake  Winnebago  and  the  Chicago,  Wisconsin  and  Minnesota  RR. 
Co.'s  are  independent  corporations  (each  with  its  own  securities),  but  their  railroads  are  leased 
in  perpetuity  as  above  stated.

which  $7,000,000  may  be  issued  for  present  use.  They  were  authorized  to  buy  up  the  Cen- 
tral Car  Company  stock  (about  $3,000,000)  for  improvements,  additional  equipment,  etc.,  and 
are  the  joint  and  several  obligations  of  the  Wisconsin  Central  Co.  and  the  Wisconsin  Central 
RR.  Co.  They  are  further  collaterally  secured  by  purchase  money  first  lien  upon  all  prop- 
erty bought  with  their  proceeds.  They  have  precedence  in  payment  of  interest  over  the  in- 
come bonds.  No  new  mortgage  can  go  ahead  of  them,  and  if  either  company  hereafter  issues 
a  new  mortgage,  the  improvement  bonds  will  be  exchangeable  at  par  for  bonds  thereby 
secured.  After  June  30,  1900,  a  sinking  fund  equal  to  3  per  cent,  of  the  net  rental  from  the 
Northern  Pacific  RR.  Co.  will  be  applied  to  purchasing  them  whenever  obtainable  at  105 
and  accured  interest.  These  bonds  bear  5  per  cent,  interest,  payable  May  and  November. 
They  are  $1,000  each,  gold  coupon,  and  mature  May  1,  1931.  On  January  1,  1892,  there 
were  $3,000,000  reported  outstanding.

Preferred  stock  has  preference  up  to  7  per  cent,  and  the  right  to  share  equally  with  com- 
mon in  any  dividend  over  7  per  cent,  on  both  classes.  No  dividend  has  been  paid  on  pre- 
ferred stock  since  March,  1876.  (See  MANUAL  for  1889,  page  1033.) 

The  terms  of  preference  in  preferred  stock  certificates  are,  briefly,  that  the  holder  is 
entitled  to  7  per  cent,  per  annum,  "  and  to  have  such  interest  paid  in  full  for  each  and  every 
year  before  auy  payment  of  dividend  upon  common  stock."  The  preferred  stockholders 
claim  that  their  right  to  7  per  ceni.  dividends  is  cumulative,  but  this  claim  is  denied  by 
the  common  stockholders.  A  joint  committee  was  appointed  in  October,  1890,  and  sub.-e- 
quently  submitted  a  plan  designed  to  settle  the  difference  between  the  two  classes  of  stock 
and  to  place  the  company  upon  a  S'>und  financial  basis.  Briefly,  it  is  proposed  to  issue  new 
4£  per  cent,  gold  bonds  to  an  amount  sufficient  to  replace  the  present  bonded  debt  and  to 
provide  means  for  improving  the  property  and  putting  it  in  condition  for  being  operated  as 
a  through  line  in  connection  with  the  Baltimore  and  Ohio  and  the  Baltimore  and  Ohio  South- 
western, the  Baltimore  and  Ohio  to  place  its  guarantee  upon  the  new  bonds.  Also,  it  is  pro-

In  addition  to  the  above  securities,  this  company  owns  wharf  property,  connecting  rail- 
road at  Richmond,  Va.,  and  real  estate  at  West  Point,  Va.,  and  Atlanta,  Ga.,  valued  at  $80,- 
414.48.  The  foregoing  securities  and  property  are  represented  on  the  books  of  the  company 
as  costing  in  securities  and  cash  the  sum  of  $90,680,898.12.  The  company  has  no  floating 
indebtedness  of  any  kind  ;  and  other  than  its  ordinary  investments  in  stocks,  bonds,  and  prop- 
erty, before  mentioned,  it  has  assets  consisting  of  advances  to  companies  controlled,  bills 
receivable,  and  cash,  amounting  to  $1,574,742.05. 

All  of  the  above  construction  stocks  have  only  a  nominal  value.  The  purpose  for  which 
the  Richmond  and  Danville  Extension  Company  was  organized  having  been  accomplished, 
its  assets  have  all  been  distributed  among  its  stockholders,  and  the  company  has  been  practi- 
cally wound  up.  The  other  construction  stocks  are  only  valuable  as  franchises. 

In  March,  1892,  a  committee,  consisting  of  F.  P.  Olcott,  Oliver  H.  Payne,  Frederick  D. 
Tappen,  Wm.  H.  Perkins,  Henry  Budge,  H.  C.  Fahnestock,  and  J.  Kennedy  Tod,  formu- 
lated a  plan  for  the  reorganization  of  the  financial  affairs  of  this  company  by  means  of  an 
issue  of  $350,000,000  new  securities,  as  follows  :  (a)  $170,000,000  4  percent.  1st  mortgage 
35-year  gold  bonds,  interest  from  March  1,  1892,  coupons  quarterly,  March  1,  June  1,  Sep-

the  Richmond  and  Danville  RR.  Co.  and  the  Richmond  and  West  Point  Terminal  Ry.  and 
Warehouse  Co.,  and  to  cover  all  the  property  and  equipment  of  such  new  corporation,  and 
pending  the  legal  consolidation  of  such  new  corporation  with  the  East  Tennessee,  Virginia 
and  Georgia  System  all  the  securities  of  the  last  named  system  now  owned  and  controlled  and 
that  may  be  deposited  under  this  plan  of  reorganization  to  be  deposited  with  the  trustee  as 
further  security  for  the  bonds  to  be  issued,  $10,000,000  of  these  bonds  to  be  issued  only  for 
the  acquisition  of  additional  property;  (&)  $70,000,000  non-cumulative,  5  per  cent. preferred

The  committee  reports  that  "the  fixed  charges  on  the  properties  excluding  the  Central  Railroad  &  Banking 
Company  of  Georgia  and  the  Alabama  Great  Southern  Railway  Co.  (based  on  'the  present  bonded  debt,  floating 
debt,  and  rentals,  but  excluding  taxes,  which  are  included  in  the  operating  expenses,  and  not  including  interest 
on  any  securities  owned  by  the  system,  or  the  various  corporations  composing  the  system),  amount  to  $8,973,730 
per  annum,  in  addition  to  which  are  annual  car  trust  payments,  which,  for  the  current  year  will  amount  to  $502,- 
117,  making  a  total  of  annual  fixed  charges  of  $9,474,837. 

"  The  net  earnings  for  the  year  ending  June  30,  1891,  of  all  the  systems  (exclusive  as  aforesaid),  after  deduct- 
ing taxes,  and  not  including  income  from  investments  in  securities  of  the  Terminal  System,  or  indebtedness,  or 
interest  on  indebtedness  due  from  the  various  corporations  to  each  other,  were  $8,744,786. 

"The  Richmond  Terminal  Company  controls  the  three  systems  by  majority  stock  ownership  (except  in  the 
case  of  the  East  Tennessee,  Virginia  &  Georgia  Ry.  Co.,  where  its  ownership  is  less  than  a  majority),  and  the 
three  principal  railway  companies  control  their  subsidiary  corporations,  to  a  considerable  extent,  by  like  majority 
stock  ownership. 

"  The  advantages  of  the  proposed  plan  are  manifest.  Some  of  these  advantages  may  be  estimated  by  a 
comparison  of  the  results  of  the  present  system  of  operation,  and  of  the  one  proposed,  '  bearing  in  mind  that  the 
apparent  net  earnings  of  the  existing  properties  are  not,  and  have  not  been,  available  to  their  full  extent.1  "

"  In  view  of  the  pending  litigation  affecting  the  Central  Railroad  and  Banking  Company  of  Georgia,  and  of 
rlu-  questions  which  are  before  the  Courts,  and  undetermined,  respecting  it?  existing  lea>e.  and  considering  the 
legal  difficulties  attending  a  consolidation,  embracing  that  company,  the  committee  has  found  it  advisable  to 
make  no  provision,  for  the  present,  for  taking  up  the  outstanding  stocks  or  securities  of  the  Central  Railroad 
and  Banking  Company  of  Georgia;  but  the  interests  of  the  Richmond  Terminal  Company  in  those  stocks  and

to  1874.  (For  interest  in  subsidiary  lines,  see  subjoined  statements.) 

In  addition  to  its  railroad  lines  the  company  controls  the  Baltimore  and  Chesapeake  Steam- 
boat Co.,  operating  a  line  of  steamers  between  Richmond  and  West  Point,  Va.,  and  Balti- 
more, Md. 

The  Richmond  and  West  Point  Terminal  Railway  and  Warehouse  Co.  was  organized 
March  8,  1880,  in  the  interest  of  the  Richmond  and  Danville  RR.  Co.,  for  the  purpose  of 
acquiring  roads  not  directly  connecting  with  the  Richmond  and  Danville  RR.  The  charter 
of  the  Richmond  and  Danville  RR.  Co.,  at  that  time,  debarred  it  from  owning  stock  in  any 
but  connecting  lines  ;  but  a  subsequent  amendment  removed  this  prohibition. 

The  Terminal  Co.  acquired  control  of  the  Richmond  and  Danville  by  the  purchase  of 
25,001  shares  of  the  capital  stock  on  November  19,  1886,  and  it  has  acquired  since  then  24,- 
761  shares  additional,  so  that  all  but  238  shares  of  R.  &  D.  stock  were  owned  by  the  Terminal 
Co.  on  June  30,  1891. 

The  auxiliary  system  is  controlled  as  follows  :  Roads  controlled  by  leases — bonds  guar- 
anteed by  endorsement.  These  roads  are  all  leased  for  99  years  for  their  net  earnings,  this 
company  agreeing  to  advance  any  deficiency  required  to  pay  fixed  charges  ;  amounts  so

advanced  to  be  repaid  to  this  company  with  interest  at  6  per  cent,  before  any  dividends  can 
be  paid  upon  the  stocks  of  said  companies. 

Operating  Leases. — These  road.=>,  are  leased  for  99  years  for  their  net  earnings.  In  event 
of  the  net  earnings  not  hems:  sufficient  to  pay  fixed  charges,  this  company  agrees  to  advance 
any  deficiency,  the  same  to  be  repaid,  with  interest  at  6  per  cent,  per  annum,  before  divi- 
dends can  be  paid  on  the  stocks. 

The  roads  controlled  by  ownership  of  securities,  but  operated  as  separate  companies,  are 
operated  by  this  company  for  account  of  the  several  companies,  no  obligation  being  assumed 
by  this  company  to  make  any  advances. 

The  Georgia  Pacific  Railway  lease  is  for  20  years  from  December  19,  1888.  This  lease 
provides  for  the  operation  of  the  road  for  its  net  earnings,  this  company  undertaking  to  ad- 
vance any  deficiency  in  the  net  earnings  to  meet  fixed  charges  ;  such  advances  to  be  repaid 
this  company,  with  interest  at  6  per  cent,  per  annum,  before  any  dividends  can  be  paid  by  the 
Georgia  Pacific  Ry.  Co.  upon  its  income  bonds  or  stock.

During  the  past  year  the  Richmond  and  Danville  proper  earned  a  surplus  over  operating 
expenses,  fixed  charges,  and  taxes  (as  shown  above)  of  $1,212,403.81,  from  which  deduct  loss 
on  roads  leased,  the  bonds  of  which  are  guaranteed  by  endorsement  (as  per  preceding  iable)r 
$116,516.03,  leaving  net  surplus  earned  by  the  R.  &  D.  Co.  in  excess  of  its  fixed  obligations. 
$1,095,887.78.  The  operations  of  that  part  of  the  system  from  which  no  fixed  obligations 
are  imposed  upon  the  R.  &  D.  RR.  Co.  are  as  follows  :  Surplus  earned  by  operating  leases, 
exclusive  of  Georgia  Pacific  Ry.,  as  per  above  table,  $274,203.83,  from  which  deduct  losses 
incurred  by  companies  controlled,  but  operated  as  separate  companies,  $45,980.39 — net  sur- 
plus, $228,223.44.  It  will  thus  be  seen  that  the  net  results  on  the  Richmond  and  Danville 
RR. ,  exclusive  of  the  Georgia  Pacific  Ry.,  show  a  profit  in  operation  during  the  year  in  excess 
of  fixed  charges  and  taxes  of  $1,324,111.22,  being  an  increase  over  the  previous  year  of

Thesrross  and  net  earnings  of  all  the  roads  iu  the  system,  with  the  exception  of  the  Georgia  Pacific  Ry., 
show  a  steady  increase  in  the  net  earnings  as  well  as  in  the  gross.  During  the  past  year  the  "  Roads  Leased, 
Bonds  Guaranteed  by  Endorsement,"  show  an  increase  of  nearly  200  per  cent,  in  the  net  earnings  compared  with 
the  previous  year.  All  of  the  large  roads  covered  by  operating  leases,  with  the  exception  of  the  Georgia  Pacific, 
and  Columbia  and  Greenville,  earned  largely  in  excess  of  their  fixed  charges  during  the  past  year.  It  is  certain 
that  nearly  all  of  the  leased  roads,  which  a  few  years  since  appeared  to  be  a  burden  to  this  company,  are  now  in 
a  position  not  only  to  be  self-sustaining,  but  to  gradually  return  the  advances  made  by  this  company  to  them, 
mainly  for  improvements  and  betterment  of  such  properties.1' 

There  was  expended  during  the  year,  for  improvements  and  betterments,  the  following 
amounts,  which  were  charged  to  "  Cost  of  Roadway  and  Property  "  of  the  several  companies  : 
R.  &  D.  RR.  and  fixed  leases,  $106,156.91 ;  roads  leased — bonds  guaranted  by  endorsement, 
$10,505.33  ;  operating  leases,  $460,599.34  ;  companies  controlled,  but  opeiated  as  separate  com- 
panies, $36,476.26 — total,  $613,737.84,  being  a  decrease,  as  compared  with  the  previous  year, 
of  $78,591.06.

Provision  has  been  made  for  an  issue  of  $13,000,000  5  per  cent,  consolidated  mortgage 
bonds,  due  April  1,  1937.  A  sufficient  number  of  the  bonds  are  reserved  to  pay  off  the  first 
mortgage  bonds,  due  January  1,  1893  ;  $2,000,000  are  to  be  used  in  paying  off  the  floating 
debt,  and  the  remainder  of  the  bonds  will  be  issued  from  time  to  time  only  as  required  for 
the  purposes  of  the  company.  They  are  redeemable  (any  or  all  of  them)  at  110  and  interest

The  certificates  of  indebtedness  were  issued  in  1881,  bear  6  per  cent,  interest,  and  can  be 
called  in  and  paid  any  time  after  1891.  They  were  intended  as  a  distributor  of  net  earnings

share  capital  of  the  Central,  and  32  percent,  on  the  share  capital  of  the  Southwestern  (leased).

History. — Reorganization  of  the  St.  Louis,  Arkansas  and  Texas  Ry.  Co.,  whose  property 
was  sold  under  foreclosure  in  October,  1890.  (See  MANUAL  for  1890,  page  827.) 

The  plan  of  reorganization  was  dated  December  16,  1889,  and  under  it.s  provisions  the  old 
1st  mortgage  6s  received  an  amount  equal  to  principal  and  overdue  interest  (except  coupons 
of  May  1, 1889,  which  were  paid  in  cash)  in  new  1st  mortgage  4  per  cent.  100-year  gold  bonds, 
besides  25  per  cent,  in  new  2d  mortgage  4  per  cent.  100-ye»r  income  bonds  and  20  per  cent, 
in  preferred  stock  on  account  of  tlie  reduction  in  interest ;  old  second  6s  paid  an  assessment 
of  $35  per  bond  and  received  their  face  value  in  preferred  stock  and  $50  in  2d  mor- 
tgage incomes  to  the  amount  of  the  assessment  ;  old  S'ock  was  assessed  8£  per  cent,  and 
received  share  for  share  in  new  common  and  10  per  c«-nt.  new  2d  incomes  for  the  assess- 
ment. 

In  order  to  meet  the  requirements  of  the  Texas  State  Law,  which  prohibits  the  owner- 
ship of  railroads  within  the  State  by  foreign  eorpor.uions,  three  distinct  companies  were 
formed  in  the  reorganization — the  St.  Louis  Southwestern  Ry.  Co.  (in  Mo.  and  Ark.,  January 
12.  1891),  with  a  capital  of  $20,000,000  preferred  and  $lf),500,000  common  stock  ;  the  St. 
Louis  Southwestern  Ry.  Co.  in  Texas  (January  12,  1891),  having  a  common  capital  stock  of 
$2,500,000  ;  and  the  Tyler  Southeastern  Ry.  Co.  (January  12,  1891),  whose  share  capital  was 
fixed  at  $1,000,000,  of  which  $250,000  has  been  issued.  Provision  was  also  made  for  $20, 
000,000  1st  mortgage  bonds  and  $10,000,000  2d  mortgage  incomes— $9,895,000  of  the  firsts, 
and  $4,947,500  on  the  incomes  secured  on  the  St.  Louis  Southwestern  Ry.  ;  $9,445,000  firsts 
and  $4,722,500  incomes  on  the  St.  Louis  Southwestern  Ry.  of  Texas  ;  $660,000  firsts  and 
$330,000  incomes  on  the  Tyler  Southeastern  Ry.  The  first  mortgage  bonds  were  deposited 
with  the  Central  Tru>t  Co.,  trustee  of  the  mortgage,  and  the  incomes  with  the  Mercantile 
Trust  Co.,  trustee  under  the  3d  mortgage,  and  trust  company  certificates  representing  $20,- 
000,000  firsts  and  $8,000,000  incomes  (the  remaining  $2,000,000  being  held  against  future 
needs  of  the  company)  were  issued  in  place  of  them,  and  are  listed  on  the  New  York  Stock 
Exchange. 

The  general  balance  sheet  on  page  559  shows  the  financial  condition  of  the  entire  system 
on  June  30,  1891  ;  the  accounts  for  the  railroads  in  Texas  will  be  found  in  the  subjoined

struction of  this  road  was  begun  in  April.  1871,  and  on  August  15  of  thai  year  it  was  opened  for  biiMiiess.  On  its 
completion  it  was  leased  to  the  Lake  Superior  and  Mississippi  RR.  Co..  but  on  the  default  of  that  company  it 
reverted  to  the  control  of  its  stockholders,  who  subsequently  leased  it  to  the  Minneapolis  and  St.  Louis  Company. 
In  May.  1881.  it  was  merged  into  the  latter  corporation,  and  shortly  thereafter  the  St.  Paul  and  Dulnth  acquired 
control  of  it  under  the  terms  of  a  lease  by  which  the  rental  is  a  percentage  of  gross  earnings  on  local  business—

TAYLOR'S  FALLS  AND  LAKE  SUPERIOR  RAILROAD.-Wyoming  to  Taylor's  Falls, 
Minn.,  20.50  miles  ;  total  track,  22  miles.  Chartered  February  5,  1875.  with  power  to  construct  a  line  from  a  point 
on  the  line  of  the  Lake  Superior  and  Mississippi  RR.  mow  St".  Paul  and  Dulnth)  to  the  St.  Croix  River  at  Taylor's 
Falls.  The  control  of  this  organization  afterward  became  vested  in  the  Minneapolis  and  St.  Louis  RR.  Co..  and, 
about  1SSO.  steps  were  taken  toward  the  construction  of  the  road  from  the  St.  Paul  and  Duluth  line  at  White  Bear 
Lake  to  Taylor's  Fails,  the  object  being  to  complete  a  connection  between  the  Minneapolis  Road  and  the  St.  Paul 
and  Omaha~'s  North  Wisconsin  line,  or  ultimately  to  establish  an  independent  line  to  Lake  Superior.  At  this 
time  the  St.  Paul  and  Duluth  had  under  construction  a  branch  line  to  Taylor's  Falls  from  Wyoming  on  its  main 
line,  and  to  obviate  the  '-onstrnction  of  a  competitive  line  to  tne  same  point,  it  entered  into  an  agreement  with  the 
Minneapolis  Company  May  1,  1-*SO,  under  which  the  construction  of  the  line  from  White  Bear^Lake  to  Taylor's 
Falls  was  abandoned,"  aud  the  line  from  Wyoming  to  Taylor's  Falls  was  built  in  its  place.  By  this  agreement  the 
rights,  franchises,  land  grant,  etc.,  attached  to  the  proposed  branch  of  the  St.  Paul  and  Duluth  RR.  Co.  were 
transferred  to  the  Taylor's  Falls  and  Lake  Superior  RR.  Co.,  under  whose  charter  the  line  was  built.  The  road 
was  completed  and  opened  November  8,  1880,  its  cost  having  been  S303.064.58.  which  was  advanced  jointly  by  the 
Duluth  and  the  Minneapolis  Companies,  each  of  which  was  to  receive,  as  representing  such  half  interest,  one-half 
of  an  issue  of  bonds,  to  the  amount  of  $24(5.000.  made  by  the  Minneapolis  and  St.  Louis  and  secured  on  the  Tay- 
lor's Falls  Road,  and  one-half  of  the  stock  of  the  Taylor's  Falls  Company.  On  October  12,  1880,  the  line  was 
leased  to  the  Minneapolis  Company  at  30  per  cent,  of  the  irross  earnings  from  local  business.  Later  in  the  same 
year  the  Duluth  Company  acquired  a  half  interest  in  this  lease,  and  on  August  1, 1883,  acquired  the  remaining  half 
interest  in  j  hat  lease,  as  well  as  full  title  to  the  proportion  of  the  Taylor's  Falls  stock  previously  owned  by  the 
Minneapolis  Company.  Immediately  following  this  transfer  the  St.  Paul  and  Duluth  purchased  and  cancelled  the 
$24^.000  Minneapolis  and  St.  Louis  bonds,  which  were  secured  by  a  lien  on  the  road,  the  Taylor's  Falls  and  Lake 
Superior  RR.  Co.  issuing,  in  order  to  meet  the  liability  thus  incurred,  to  repay  the  St.  P.  &  D.  for  its  share  of 
construction  expenses.  $210,000  1st  mortgage  6  per  cent.  30  year  $1.(XX)  coupon  bonds,  due  January  1. 1914.  interest

History. — A  consolidation,  February  22,  1849,  of  the  Seaboard  and  Roanoke  RR.  Co.  of 
Virginia  and  the  Roanoke  RR.  Co.  of  North  Carolina.  The  road  was  opened  early  in  1835, 
and  rebuilt  in  1851.  (See  MANUAL  for  1888,  page  646.) 

The  Company  leases  the  Roauoke  and  Tar  Rirer  RR.,  and  has  a  controlling  interest  in 
the  Carolina  Central,  the  Raleigh  and  Gaston,  the  Raleigh  and  Augusta  Air-Line,  the  Pitts- 
boro',  and  the  Carthage  Railroads.  These  lines  and  the  Seaboard  and  Roanoke  main  line 
form  what  is  known  as  the  Seaboard  Air-Line,  in  connection  with  which  is  also  operated  the 
fleet  of  steamers  of  the  Baltimore  Steam  Packet  Co.,  plying  between  Baltimore,  Norfolk, 
Portsmouth,  and  Old  Point  Comfort.  The  Seaboard  and  Roanoke  RR.  Co.  has  also  a  large 
interest  in  the  Old  Dominion  Steamship  Co.,  whose  steamers  supply  the  New  York  connec- 
tion for  the  Seaboard  Air-Line,  and  in  the  Georgia,  Carolina  and  Northern  Railroad  which 
is  jointly  leased  to  this  company  and  the  Raleigh  and  Gaston  RR.  Co. 

During  the  fiscal  year,  1889-90,  a  contract  was  entered  into  between  this  company,  the 
Atlantic  and  Danville  RR.  Co.,  and  the  city  of  Portsmouth,  for  the  construction  of  a  union 
passenger  depot  at  the  foot  of  High  Street,  in  Portsmouth,  on  property  of  this  company,  and 
a  double  track  from  a  point  outside  the  city  to  the  depot,  all  expenses  to  be  borne  by  this 
company  ;  the  Atlantic  and  Danville  to  enjoy  equal  use  of  depot  and  connecting  track,  and 
to  pay  a  rental  equal  to  6  per  cent,  upon  one-half  the  cost  and  valuation  of  the  property, 
besides  one-half  cost  of  maintenance.

1  ;  baggage,  mail,  and  express,  3  :  freight  (box,  248  ;  platform,  297  ;  caboose,  5),  550  ;

History. — Consolidation  December  19,  1843,  of  the  South  Carolina  L/anal  and  RR.  Co. 
(Chartered  December  19,1827),  and  the  Louisville,  Cincinnati  and  Charleston,  RR.  Co.  (char- 
tered December  19,  1835).  (See  MANUAL  for  1890.)  The  expense  of  rebuilding  the  road 
after  the  war,  together  with  the  accumulation  of  its  liabilities,  necessitated  a  heavy  floating 
debt,  the  pressure  of  which  forced  it  to  default  in  1878  ;  and  in  October  of  that  year  it  was 
placed  in  the  hands  of  a  receiver,  sold  under  foreclosure  July  28,  1881,  and  reorganized 
November  1,  1881,  under  present  tide.  On  January  2,  1889,  default  was  made  in  interest, 
on  second  mortp-a^e  bonds  and  a  receiver  appointed  in  October,  1889.  In  January,  1891, 
receiver  paid  to  date  interest  on  all  bonds  having  a  lien  prior  to  that  of  first  consols.,  and  in 
September,  1891  he  was  authorized  to  pay  the  coupons  due  October  1,  1890,  on  the  first 
consols.  A  plan  for  the  reorganization  of  the  company  is  under  consideration. 

During  the  past  fiscal  year  this  company  leased  the  Carolina,  Cumberland  Gap  and 
Chicago  and  the  Columbia,  Newberry  and  Laurens  Rys.  For  terms  of  lease  see  statements 
of  these  companies.

POOR'S  MANUAL — ALLEGHENY  TALLEY  BY.  CO.  657 

possession  of  the  property  on  March  1,  1892.  The  decision  of  the  U.  S.  Circuit  Court 
ordering  the  sale  of  the  road  divests  the  lien  of  all  the  indebtedness  of  the  company,  except- 
ing the  principal  of  the  $4,000,000  1st  mortgage  River  Division  7.3  per  cent.,  due  March  1,

each  year),  the  latter  being  the  amount  still  unpaid  and  in  the  possession  of  the  Sinking 
Fund  Commissioners  of  the  State  of  Pennsylvania. 

Under  the  terms  of  the  plan  of  reorganization,  as  amended,  the  capital  stock  of  the  new  company  has  been 
fixed  at  $30,000,000  (ia  $50  shares)— §18,000,000  preferred  3  per  cent,  stock  and  §12,000,000  common  stock.  In 
addition  there  has  been  authorized  an  issue  of  $20,000.000  gold  bonds,  bearing  interest  at  the  rate  of  4  per  cent,

The  residue  of  the  capital  stock,  viz.  :  51,082  shares  of  preferred  and  29,138  shares  or  common  was  directed 
to  remain  in  the  treasury  of  the  company  subject  to  be  issued  for  proper  corporate  purposes,  among  which,  so  far 
as  relates  to  the  preferred  stock,  will  be  the  issuance  to  the  Pennsylvania  RR.  Co.  under  the  terms  of  the  reorgani- 
zation agreement,  of  such  amounts  as  may  be  necessary  in  exchange  for  such  of  the  coupons  of  the  $10.000,000  of 
the  bonds  secured  by  mortgages  of  March  31,  1869,  and  September  4,  1874,  as  the  earnings  of  the  reorganized  com-

takes  the  property  and  franchises  and  8  per  cent,  additional  ;  and  as  the  paid  liens  mature  a  proportionate  amount 
of  said  bonds  so  held  shall  be  from  time  to  time  applied  to  their  payment,  or,  if  any  or  all  of  said  liens  shall  be 
extended  on  terms  satisfactory  to  the  board  of  directors  of  the  new  company,  then  an  equivalent  amount  of  bonds, 
held  as  aforesaid,  shall  be  cancelled  by  the  trustee*,  and  a  proportionate  surplus  passed  over  to  the  new  company. 
The  balance  of  the  bonds  not  required  for  the  above  mentioned  purposes  shall  remain  in  the  treasury  of  the  com- 
pany, and  may,  together  with  any  bonds  not  used  as  aforesaid,  be  from  time  to  time  issued  and  used  as  may  be 
deemed  necessary  by  the  board  of  directors  for  the  purpose  of  improvement  and  betterment  of  the  property.

History. — The  following  is  a  complete  history  of  this  company  : 

The  Arkansas  >Iidland  RR.  Co.  was  chartered  January  20,  1855  :  charter  amended  January  9.  1857.  Organ- 
ization was  effected,  stock  subscribed,  surrey  made  from  Helena  to  Little  Rock,  distance  102  miles.  The  break- 
ing out  of  the  Civil  War  stopped  all  efforts  at  construction.  In  1871  the  Arkansas  Central  Ry.  Co.  was  chartered 
under  the  General  Laws  of  the  State  of  Arkansas,  to  construct  a  mad  from  Helena  to  Little  Rock,  practically 
over  the  same  route  covered  by  the  charter  of  the  Arkansas  Midland.  The  Arkansas  Central  proceeded  with  its 
construction,  and  opened  the  road  in  1872  to  Clarendon,  50  miles,  as  a  narrow  gauge  road,  the  gauge  being  3  ft.  6 
in.;  considerable  grading  and  other  work  was  done  west  of  White  River.  A  first  mortgage  was  placed  upon  the 
road,  and  bonds  to  the  amount  of  $720.000  were  issued,  the  Union  Trust  Co.  of  New  York,  as  trustee  :  subse- 
quently a  second  mortgage  was  placed  on  the  road,  and  bonds  to  the  amount  of  $480,000  were  issued  under  the 
second  mortgage.  In  1876  the  road  being  in  default  in  the  payment  of  interest,  bill  was  filed  by  the  Union  Trust 
Co.  in  the  U.  S.  Court  to  foreclose  these  mortgages  ;  a  decree  was  rendered  and  the  road  sold  July,  1877,  and  pur- 
chased by  Sidney  H.  Hornor.  In  1879,  S.  H.  Hornor,  the  purchaser,  conveyed  the  property  to  the  Arkansas  Mid- 
land RR."  Co..  the  corporation  organized  under  the  charter  of  January  20.  1855.  which  latter  company  took  pos- 
session of  the  road  and  has  since  operated  it.  In  1883  the  gauge  of  the  road  was  changed  between  Clarendon  and 
Helena  to  3  ft.  to  form  connection  with  the  St.  Louis,  Arkansas  and  Texas  RR.  In  1887  the  gauge  was  changed 
10  The  standard  gauge  of  4  ft.  8i  in.:  is  now  standard  gauge,  interchanging  traffic  with  the  St.  LouTs  Southwestern 
at  Clarendon,  and  with  the  St.  Loui*.  Iron  Mt.  and  Southern,  and  Louisville,  New  Orleans  and  Texas,  at  Helena. 
In  August,  1891,  the  Arkansas  Midland  purchased  the  Brinkley,  Helena  and  Indian  Bay  RR..  a  narrow  gauge 
road  extending  from  Pine  City,  a  station  on  is  line,  to  Brinkley,  Ark.,  a  distance  of  24  miles  :  the  road  so  purchas- 
ing it  proposes  to  change  to  a  standard  gauge,  thereby  forming  from  Helena  a  close  connection  at  Brinkley  with 
the  Little  Rock  and  Memphis,  and  Black  and  White  River  Valley  roads.  In  1891.  a  first  mortgage  was  placed 
upon  the  property  for  $516,000,  being  $6.000  per  mile  on  main  line  and  branch.  Central  Trust  Co.  of  New  York. 
Trustee.  One  hundred  and  thirty-three  of  the  bonds  were  sold  and  proceeds  used  in  the  purchase  of  the  B.  H 
&  I.  B.  RR.  and  in  purchasing  and  laying  a  56  Ib.  steel  rail,  standard  section,  on  the  main  line.  The  mortgage 
provides  that  the  B.  H.  &  I.  B.  is  also  to  be  laid  with  the  same  rail  before  any  bonds  can  be  issued  on  that  line. 
The  road  is  also  to  be  extended  12  miles  south  to  Indian  Bay.

History. — The  Delaware  and  Hudson  Canal  Company  was  chartered  by  the  New  York 
Legislature,  April  23,  1823,  to  construct  a  canal  and  railroad  from  the  coal  fields  of  Penn- 
sylvania to  the  Hudson  River  at  Rondout,  N.  Y.  The  canal,  extending  from  Honesdale  to 
Rondout,  was  completed  in  October,  1828,  the  State  of  New  York  having  in  1827  loaned  its 
credit  to  the  enterprise  to  the  amount  of  $500,000,  and  again  in  1829  for  $200,000.  The

Gravity  Railroad  was  completed  in  1829,  in  which  year  the  coal  product  amounted  to  7,000 

tons. 

The  company  is  largely  en«rao:ed  in  mining  and  sale  of  coal.  The  total  output  of  coal  in 
1891  was  40,448,336  tons,  or  over  4,500,000  tons  in  excess  of  that  of  1890,  and  over  2,250,000 
more  than  in  any  year  in  the  history  of  the  anthracite  trade.  Coal  produced  from  company's 
mines.  8,973,286  tons;  transported  for  others,  1.529,527  tons— total,  5,502,813.  The  gross 
receipts  «>f  the  entire  system  during  the  year  equalled  $19,109,202  77  ;  expenses,  $13.511,- 
776.19;  net  earnings,  $5,597,426.58.  Paid  taxes,  interest,  and  rentals.  $3,393,377.43.  Balance, 
Hurp'us,  $'2/304.049.15. 

••  The  amount  of  coal  carried  over  the  leased  lines  of  the  company  shows  a  gratifying  increase,  but  the  busi- 
ness from  other  sources  \vn>  •.Tt-.-itly  diminished  in  volume  owing  to  the  depressed  condition  of  the  iron  and  other 
industries  from  which  their  revenue  is  generally  derived,  and  there  was  an  entire  absence  of  the  larire  receipt* 
from  transportation  of  ice  that  swelled  the  earnings  of  the  previous  year,  and  the  result  is  a  debit  to  the  profit  and 
loss  account  of  $131.564.90  as  against  the  profit  of  $417,534.49  lor  1890." 

The  company  operates  in  the  State  of  New  York,  under  the  name  of  the  Northern  Rail- 
road Department  (see  pp.  195-197).  the  Albany  and  Susquehanna,  the  Kensselaer  and  Sara- 
toga, and  the  New  York  and  Canada  RRs.,  with  their  branches  and  leased  lines.  The  Rom*1 
and  Clinton,  and  the  Utica,  Clinton  and  Binghamton  RRs.  are  leased  by  this  company,  but 
were  sub-leased  June  1,  1886,  to  the  New  York,  Ontario  and  Western  Ry.  Co.  for  35  years,  at 
a  minimum  rental  of  $70.000  per  annum  (see  GENERAL  INDEX).  In  June.  1889,  control  of  the 
Adirondack  Ry.  Co.  was  acquired;  it  is  operated  separately.  In  November,  1887,  a  majority 
of  the  stock  of  the  Rutland  RR.  Co.  was  acquired  with  the  intention  of  leasing  that  company's 
road,  but  in  December,  1890,  the  D.  &  H.  C.  Co.  consented  to  a  re-lease  of  that  road  to  the 
Central  Vermont  RR.  Co.

GRAND  RAPIDS,  LANSING  AND  DETROIT  RAILROAD.— Grand  Itapids  to  Grand  Ledge, 
Mich.,  53.01  :  branch,  Oakdale  to  Reed's  Lake,  2.53— total,  55.54  miles.  Gauge,  4  ft.  8i  in.  Sidings,  9.80  miles. 
Rail  (steel),  56  Ibs.  Organized  under  the  above  name  in  the  early  part  of  the  year  1887,  for  the  construction  of 
a  railroad  about  fifty-three  miles  in  length,  from  Grand  Ledge,  a  point  on  line  of  the  D.,  L.  &  N.  RR.,  to  Grand 
Rapids.  The  stock  of  the  company  is  all  owned  by  the  Detroit,  Lansing  &  Northern  RR.  Co.,  which  leases  the 
road.  The  first,  mortgage  bonds  of  the  company,  limited  to  twenty  thousand  dollars;  per  mile,  dated  September  1, 
1887,  having  forty  years  to  run,  and  bearing  interest  at  five  per  cent,  per  annum,  and  having  the  guaranty  of  the 
Detroit,  Lansing  and  Northern  RR.  Co.,  both  as  to  principal  and  interest,  endorsed  upon  them,  were  offered  to 
the  stockholders  of  the  latter  company  under  circular  of  May  27,  1887.  The  amount  so  offered  was  at  the  rate  of 
$15,000  per  mile,  supposing  that  it  would  be  sufficient  to  build  the  road  ;  but  the  increased  cost  of  steel  mils  and 
right  of  way,  together  with  a  more  liberal  outlay  for  terminals  at  Grand  Rapids,  to  provide  for  the  future  as  well 
as  present  requirements,  will  make  it  necessary  to  issue  the  full  amount  of  bonds  authorized  by  the  mortgage. 
The  road  was  opened  in  July,  1888.  NATHANIEL  THAYKR,  President  ;  Charles  Merriam,  Secretary.

At  Laredo  a  connection  is  opened  with  the  line  of  road  from  the  Rio  Grande  to  the  city 
of  Mexico. 

History. — This  company  is  a  consolidation,  September  23,  1873,  of  the  International  RR. 
Co.  and  the  Houston  and  Great  Northern  RR.  Co.  (For  progress  of  construction  on  main  lines 
and  branches  see  MANUAL  for  1883,  page  770.)  In  1876  the  extension  of  the  International 
line  to  Austin  was  completed.  To  aid  the  company  in  completing  the  road,  the  bondholders 
funded  a  portion  of  their  coupons — four  on  1st  mortgage,  and  eight  on  the  others — into  7  per 
cent,  gold  bonds  preferred,  and  which  take  rank  before  the  original  bonds. 

The  State  of  Texas  granted  to  H.  &  G.  N.  RR.  Co.  the  usual  land  subsidy,  and  to  the 
International  RR.  Co.  a  bond  subsidy  of  $10,000  per  mile,  for  which  the  land  grant,  with  25 
years'  freedom  from  taxation,  was  substituted  by  a  subsequent  Act  of  the  Legislature.  The 
total  grant  is  not  less  than  5,000,000  acres,  and  is  vested  by  purchase  in  the  New  York  and 
Texas  Land  Company. 

In  April,  1878,  at  the  suit  of  the  2d  mortgage  bondholders,  the  road  was  placed  in  the 
hands  of  a  receiver,  and  was  sold  to  a  committee  of  the  bondholders,  by  whom  it  was  reor- 
ganized. (For  terms  of  reorganization,  see  MANUAL  for  1888,  page,  770.) 

During  the  year  1881  the  International  and  Great  Northern  RR.  was  purchased  by  the 
Missouri,  Kansas  and  Texas  Ry.  Co.,  the  shareholders  of  I.  &  G.  N.  RR.  Co.  receiving  two 
shares  of  the  stock  of  the  M.,  K.  &  T.  Ry.  Co.  in  exchange  for  each  share  held  by  them. 
Sirfce  the  reorganization  of  the  M.,  K.  &  T.  Ry.  Co.,  in  1890,  one-half  of  this  stock  was  sold 
to  the  Missouri  Pacific  Ry.  Co. 

The  Galveston,  Houston  and  Henderson  RR.  is  leased  for  interest  on  its  bonds,  and  any 
surplus  over  interest,  taxes,  and  expenses.  Possession  was  taken  of  the  road  on  the  1st  of 
January,  1883.  The  operations  of  that  line  are  not  included  in  the  statements  following. 
(See  GENERAL  INDEX.) 

On  May  1,  1888,  default  was  made  in  payment  of  interest  on  first  mortgage  bonds,  and 
this  was  followed  by  default  made  in  payment  of  interest  on  second  mortgage  bonds.  In 
each  case,  however,  the  coupons  were  subsequently  purchased  for  account  of  the  company 
or  other  parties  in  intere.-t. 

On  May  2,  1888,  the  lease  of  the  I.  and  Gt.  N.  RR.  to  the  Mo.,  Kan.  and  Tex.  Ry.  was 
cancelled,  and  the  I.  &  Gt.  N.  and  the  G.  H.  and  H.  RRs.  were  operated  by  the  I.  and  Gt.  N. 
RR.  Co.,  with  headquarters  at  Palestine,  Tex.  On  February  21, 1889,  this  road  was  placed  in 
the  hands  of  receivers. 

Since  the  close  of  the  fiscal  year  this  company  has  been  reorganized,  without  foreclosure, 


746        POOR'S  MANUAL — INTERNATIONAL  AND  GREAT  NORTHERN  RR.  co. 

in  accordance  with  the  terms  of  a  plan  dated  January  27,  1892.  Under  this  plan  provision 
was  made  (1)  for  the  defaulted  coupons  of  the  first  mortgage  bonds  (May  1, 1889,  to  November 
1,  1891,  inclusive,  6  series  of  coupons,  $238,620  each)  aggregating  $1,431,720,  with  interest 
aggregating  $83,517,  or  a  total  of  $1,515,237,  as  follows:  One-half  of  the  total  amount  of 
said  coupons,  with  interest — equalling  $757,618.50 — to  be  paid  in  cash,  the  remaining  half  to 
be  deposited  with  the  Central  Trust  Co.,  trustee,  which  will  issue  its  trust  receipts  (secured 
by  a  certificate  of  indebtedness  of  the  railroad  company  and  the  coupons  deposited)  therefor, 
these  trust  receipts  to  bear  interest  at  the  rate  of  5  per  cent,  per  annum,  payable  semi- 
annually,  beginning  November  1,  1892,  and  to  be  payable  in  six  equal  yearlv  instalments.

proposed  to  pay  in  cash  half  the  coupon  interest  of  September  1,  1891,  at  the  rate  of  4£  per

3.  Expenses  of  Reorganization,  including  Trustees,  Committees,  Counsel  Charges,  etc 178,838  64 

Total  Cash  Requirements $1 ,026,863  23 

To  provide  this  sum  an  assessment  was  levied  upon  shareholders,  and  to  compensate 
such  holders  for  this  assessment,  and  for  other  purposes,  the  company  will  execute  a  new 
third  mortgage  to  the  Mercantile  Trust  Co.,  as  trustee,  securing  an  issue  of  third  mortgage 
bonds,  running  for  30  years  from  September  1, 1891,  bearing  interest  at  the  rate  of  4  per  cent. 
per  annum,  payable  during  the  first  6  years  from  date  out  of  net  earnings  of  the  company 
only,  and  thereafter  absolutely.  The  amount  of  bonds  to  be  issued  under  this  mortgage  is 
limited  to  $3,000,000,  to  be  distributed  as  follows  : 

To  Shareholders,  for  Amount  of  Assessment $1,026,863  23

A  further  provision  of  the  plan  is  that  "  the  interest  upon  the  second  mortgage  bonds  of 
the  railroad  company  shall  be  reduced  to  4£  per  cent,  per  annum  for  the  period  of  six  years 
from  and  after  September  1,  1891,  this  reduction  to  extend  to  and  include  the  interest  payable 
on  September  1,  1897,  and  thereafter  and  until  the  maturity  of  said  bonds  the  same  shall 
bear  interest  at  the  rate  of  5  per  cent,  per  annum  ;  provided,  however,  that  in  case  of  default 
continued  for  the  period  of  90  days  in  the  payment  of  any  now  miniatured  coupons  upon  the 
second  mortgage  bonds  the  original  rate  of  interest,  namely,  6  per  cent.,  shall  be  restored, 
and  such  coupons  shall  be  collectible  and  enforceable  at  such  original  rate  of  interest.  The 
reduction  of  interest  upon  the  second  mortgage  bonds  above  provided  shall  be  evidenced  by 
stamping  a  provision  therefor  on  said  bonds  and  all  unmatured  coupons,  or  by  such  other 
effective  device  which  may  be  adopted  by  the  committee  of  the  second  mortgage  bondholders 
as  more  expedient  and  practicable."

History. — The  following  is  a  complete  history  of  this  company  : 

The  company  which  built  the  first  portion  of  the  present  Louisville.  New  Albany  and  Chicago  Ry.  wae  the 
New  Albany  and  Salem  RR.  Co..  chartered  July  8,  1847,  to  build  a  railroad  between  the  points  named  in  its  title, 
a  distance  of  35  miles.  Work  was  begun  in  1849,  and  the  road  completed  and  opened  for  traffic  January  13,  1850. 
The  Legislature,  in  1848  and  the  two  succeeding  years,  by  amendments  to  the  charter,  empowered  the  company 
to  extend  its  road  to  any  place  within  the  State  that  it  might  select,  and  under  the  authority  thus  received  work 
was  begun  on  the  extension  to  Michigan  City  in  the  fall  of  1850.  It  was  completed  and  opened  for  traffic  July  4T 
1854.  The  section  from  Crawfordsville  to  Lafayette  was  bnilt  by  the  Crawfordsville  and  Wabash  RR.  Co.,  com- 
pleted in  1852.  and  was  purchased  by  the  New  Albany  and  Salem  RR.  Co.  Originally  the  line  for  45  miles  out 
from  New  Albany  was  laid  with  a  heaVy  strap  rail,  bur  it  was  replaced  with  T-raii  in  1855  and  1856. 

Default  was  made  on  bond  interest  in  1857,  and  in  August  of  that  year  application  was  made  for  the  appoint- 
ment of  a  receiver,  but  it  was  refused.  The  name  of  the  company  was  changed  to  Louisville.  New  Albany  and 
Chicago  RR.  Co.  on  October  24,  1859.  A  receiver  was  appointed  in  September.  1S68.  and  in  June,  1869,  the  com- 
pany was  reorganized.  Default  was  again  made  in  1871,  and  on  December  27. 1872,  the  road  was  sold  under  fore- 
closure and  purchased  for  account  of  the  first  mortgage  bondholders,  who  organized  a  new  company  January  2, 
1873.  under  the  present  corporate  title. 

On  May  5.  1881,  a  consolidation  was  effected  between  the  Louisville,  New  Albany  and  Chicago  and  the 
Chicago  and  Indianapolis  Air-Line  Ry.  Cos..  rhe  consolidated  company  retaining  the  name  of  the  former.  In  the 
consolidation  §3.450,000  stock  was  issued  to  stockholders  of  the  Louisville,  New  Albany  and  Chicago,  being  dollar 
for  dollar  for  the  33.000,000  old  stock,  and  a  bonus  of  15  per  cent,  to  equalize  values,  and  $1.550,000  to  stockholders 
of  the  Chicago  and  Indianapolis  Air-Line  Ry.  Co..  a  total  consolidation  stock  issue  of  $5,000,000.  There  were  also 
issued  §2.300,000  6  per  cent,  bonds  on  the  Chicago  and  Indianapolis  Division,  to  provide  means  for  extending  that 
road  to  Chicago  and  to  Indianapolis. 

The  Chicago  and  Indianapolis  Air-Line  T?y.  Co.  was  successor,  after  foreclosure  sale  in  1880.  to  the  Indian- 
apolis, Delphi  and  Chicago  RR.  Co.,  which  was  organized  September  3,  1872.  to  build  a  narrow-gauge  railroad 
from  Indianapolis  to  Chicago,  and  which  completed  40  miles,  from  Ren.sselaer  to  Delphi,  opening  it  September 
4.  1879.  The  air-line  company  extended  the  road  from  Rensselaer  to  Dyer,  43  miles,  prior  to  its  consolidation  with 
the  Louisville.  New  Albany  and  Chicago  Ry.  Co. 

Immediately  after  the  consolidation  the  company  began  the  work  of  broadening  to  the  standard  the  gauge  of 
the  completed  portion  of  the  Air  Line  division  and  of  extending  it  to  Chicago  and  Indianapolis.  On  January  9. 
1882.  the  northern  extension  was  completed  to  a  junction  near  Hammond  with  the  Chicago  and  Atlantic.  H  miles 
of  whose  track  was  used  to  give  connection  with  the  Chicago  and  Western  Indiana,  over  which  trains  were  run 
from  Hammond  into  Chicngo.  Work  had  also  been  pushing  forward  on  the  extension  from  Delphi  south,  and  it 
was  completed  to  Rowland's  Junction,  a  point  about  four  miles  north  of  Indianapolis,  in  October.  1882.  There 
was  some  delay  in  opening  the  road,  the  first  train,  and  that  only  a  local,  not  running  into  Indiacapolis  before 
March  «4,  1883.  and  the  first  through  train  not  before  May.  The  tracks  of  the  Lake  Erie  and  Western  were  used 
from  Rowland's  to  Indianapolis.  Early  in  1884  the  use  of  the  Chicago  and  Atlantic  was  discontinued,  the  com- 
pany having  extended  its  line  U  miles  near  Hammond,  forming  a  direct  connection  with  the  Chicago  and  West- 
ern Indiana. 

In  1881  the  company  purchased  depot  grounds  in  Louisville.  Ky..  and  in  1882  it  contracted  with  the  Penn- 
sylvania Co.,  operating  the  Jeffersonville.  Madison  and  Indianapolis,  for  the  use  of  the  tracks  of  the  latter  between 
New  Albany  and  the  Louisville  Bridge,  and  with  the  Louisville  Bridge  and  Depot  Co.  for  the  use  of  the  bridge 
and  tracks  of  that  company  to  reach  the  depot  in  Louisville.  Under  date  of  October  2,  1883,  tne  directors,  igno'r- 
ing  the  contract  with  the  Louisville  Bridge  Company,  and  without  consulting  the  stockholders,  made  a  like  con- 
tract with  the  Kentucky  and  Indiana  Bridge  Company  for  the  use  of  that  company's  bridge  for  99  years  from  com- 
pletion of  same,  at  a  yearly  rental  of  $55.000.  This  contract  was  rejected  at  the  annual  meeting  in  1884.  but  in 
July,  1889.  without  the  approval  of  the  stockholders,  another  agreement  was  signed  with  the  K.  &  I.  Bridge  Co., 
and  immediately  thereafter  the  executive  officers  discontinued  the  use  of  the  Louisville  Bridge,  sending  all  their 
trains  into  Louisville  over  the  Kentucky  and  Indiana  Bridge,  thereby  subjecting  the  company  to  charges  for  the 
use  of  both  bridges.  This  action  of  the  directors  produced  the  most  unfriendly  relations  with  the  Pennsyl- 
vania and  the  Louisville  and  Nashville,  the  latter  carrvincr  its  enmity  so  far  as  to"  refuse  to  interchange  traffic 
with  this  road. 

Under  date  of  May  1,  1889.  the  directors  took  a  30-year  lease  of  the  Louisville  Southern  RR.,  from  Louisville 
to  Bnrgin.  Ky..  83  miles,  and  that  lease  was  ratified  by  the  stockholders  of  both  companies.  Another  contract 
made  with  the  same  company.  October  19,  1889,  for  the  lease  of  the  Lexington  Extension  for  30  years,  from  Janu- 
ary 1.  1890.  was  entered  into  without  the  consent  of  the  stockholders,  as  was  also  one  made  October  9.  1889.  with 
the  Ohio  Valley  Improvement  and  Contract  Co.  (a  construction  company  having  the  contract  to  build  the  Rich- 
mond, Nicholasville.  Irvine  and  Beattyville  RR.  from  Versailles  to  Beattyville,  Ky..  94  miles  .  by  which  the 
directors  agreed  to  guarantee  principal  and  interest  of  $2.300,000  bonds  to  be  issued  upon  the  Beattyville  Road,  in 
consideration  of  which  they  were  to  receive  three-fourths  of  the  stock  of  the  Richmond.  Nicholasville,  Irvine  and 
Beattyville  RR.  Company. 

On  March  12.  1890.  the  board  of  directors  resigned  and  a  new  management  was  installed.  One  of  the  first 
acts  was  to  repudiate  the  contract  with  the  Kentucky  and  Indiana  Bridge,  the  guarantee  of  the  bonds  of  the 
Beattyville  road,  and  the  lease  of  the  Lexington  Extension.  At  the  same  time  a  committee  was  appointed  to  go

POOR  S  MANUAL — LOUISVILLE,  NEW  ALBANY  AND  CHICAGO  BY.  CO. 


over  the  main  line  of  the  Louisville  Southern  road  and  report  upon  its  condition,  and  the  result  of  this  examina- 
tion was  that  the  construction  company  was  called  upon  to  put  the  road  m  as  good  condition  as  the  contract  called 
for  or  reduce  the  rental,  the  only  other  alternative  beinsr  the  cancellation  of  the  lease.  While  the  negotiations 
with  regard  to  these  questions  were  pen. ling  tin-  Louisville  Southern  RR.  Co.,  on  March  27,  1890,  took  possession 
of  its  railroad,  both  main  line  and  Lexington  Extension,  and  obtained  from  a  court  of  the  State  of  Kentucky  an 
injunction  restraining  this  company  from  disturbing  it  in  the  possession  and  operation  of  its  property. 

A  suit  was  brought  by  the  company  against  the  Louisville  Southern  for  breach  of  contract  in  forcibly  taking 
possession  of  its  property  without  the  year's  notice  required  by  the  terms  of  the  lease,  and  one  against  the  pre- 
ceding management  and  the  Ohio  Valley  Company  to  restrain  them  from  issuing  $1,185,000  bonds  of  the  Beatty- 
ville  road,  upon  which  the  guarantee  of  the  company  had  been  placed.  Another'  suit  was  brought  to  annul  the 
repudiation  contract  of  July  19,  1889,  with  the  Kentucky  and  Indiana  Bridge  Company.  In  all  three  suits  the 
decisions  were  in  favor  of  the  Louisville,  New  Albany  and  Chicago  Ry.  Co.  The  contract  was  declared  illegal,  as 
were  also  the  guarantee  of  the  Beattyvllle  bonds  and  the  lease  of  the  Lexington  Extension,  and  the  Louisville 
Southern  was  put  under  a  bond  in  the  sum  of  $200.000,  for  the  purpose  of  indemifying  this  company  for  any 
damages  it  might  have  sustained  by  reason  of  the  seizure. 

In  April,  1891,  a  syndicate  composed  of  New  York  capitalists  and  others,  after  hearing  the  report  of  a  com- 
mittee appointed  to  go  over  the  road  and  examine  into  its  condition  and  prospects,  agreed  to  advance  $1,960,000 
to  take  up  the  floating  debt,  etc.,  receiving  in  return  the  $2,800,000  general  mortgage  bonds  referred  to  below,  and 
$1,400,000  new  stock;  upon  the  condition  of  this  agreement  a  new  management  was  elected  and  all  litigations 
discontinued. 

Bonded  Debt.— In  the  reorganization  of  January  2,  1872,  the  old  stock  was  entirely  wiped  out,  and  there  were 
issued  to  the  purchasing  bondholders  $3.000.000  new  stock  in  lieu  of  the  bonds  they  had  surrendered.  There  were 
no  bonds  issued  till  1880,  when  the  $3.000,000  first  mortgage,  main  line,  6  per  cent.  30-year  bonds  of  July  1,  1910, 
were  issued,  and  sold  to  the  stockholders  for  20  per  cent,  of  their  face  value,  the  proceeds  being  expended  on 
repairs  to  the  road  and  rolling  stock. 

By  the  consolidation  of  May  5.  1881,  as  stated  elsewhere,  the  share  capital  was  increased  to  $5,000,000,  and 
the  bonded  debt  by  the  issue  of  $2,300.000  first  mortgage  6  per  cent,  bonds,  secured  on  the  Chicago  and  Indian- 
apolis Division.  Of  the  latter,  $1,850,000  were  issued  to  the  contractors  who  had  built  the  completed  portion  of 
that  division,  and  $450,000  were  sold  and  the  proceeds  applied  toward  completing  the  extensions  to  Hammond  and 
to  Rowland's  Junction  and  procuring  equipment  for  the  new  line.  To  provide  means  for  completing  the  Air 
Line  Division,  paying  off  the  floating  debt,  purchasing  new  equipment,  and  for  other  purposes,  provision  was 
made  in  1883  for  an  issue  of  second  mortgage  6  per  cent,  bonds  to  the  amount  of  $1,000,000  secured  on  the  whole 
road,  and  to  run  for  five  years,  from  February  1, 1883  ;  and  $855,000  of  them  were  issued  forthwith,  the  remaining 
$145,000  being  held  in  the  treasury  till  1886,  when  they  also  were  issued. 

A  general  mortgage  to  secure  $3,000,000  6  per  cent.  30-year  bonds,  due  April  1,  1914,  was  executed  in  1884, 
and  $2,000,000  wrere  issued,  the  balance  being  deposited  in  trust  to  be  exchanged  for  the  second  mortgage  bonds, 
but  those  bonds  were  recalled  in  1886  and  cancelled,  and  a  new  consolidated  mortgage  placed  upon  the  market. 
The  authorized  issue  of  consols  was  placed  at  $10,000,000,  of  which  $8,300,000  were  reserved  for  the  prior  mort- 
gages. The  second  mortgage  bonds  were  paid  off  in  1888,  and  the  great  majority  of  the  holders  of  them  availed 
themselves  of  that  provision  of  the  consolidated  mortgage  allowing  them  to  exchange  their  holdings  for  new 
consols. 

In  May,  1890,  the  company  authorized  an  issue  of  $12,800,000  general  mortgage  5  per  cent.  50-year  $1,000 
gold  bonds,  due  May  1,  1940,  of  which  $10,000,000  are  reserved  to  be  issued  only  in  exchange  for  old  bonds,  and 
the  balance  to  be  applied  to  payment  of  floating  debt  and  to  other  purposes  of  the  company.  The  $2,800,000 
bonds  to  be  issued  for  the  purpose  stated  above  were  held  in  the  treasury  till  April,  1891,  when  they  were  issued 
to  the  syndicate  which  secured  control  of  the  property. 

The  subjoined  statement  shows  the  various  changes  in  the  bonded  debt  of  the  company  from  1880  to  the 
close  of  the  last  fiscal  year.  The  new  general  mortgage  bonds  of  course  do  not  appear  in  it,  as  they  were  in  the 
treasury  of  the  company  for  three  months  after  the  date  to  which  the  statement  is  brought  down.  The  capital 
account  now  (May  1.  1892),  shows  a  stock  issue  of  $9,600,000,  and  $2.800.000  general  mortgage  bonds  in  addi- 
tion to  those  shown  in  the  statement  below,  the  total  of  stock  and  bonds  being  :

The  following  is  an  official  circular  addressed  to  the  stockholders  under  date  of  Novem- 
ber 30,  1891  : 

"  The  stockholders  of  this  company,  at  a  meeting  held  November  9th  instant,  authorized  the  issue  of  $5,600,- 
030  additional  siock,  making  the  total  share  capital  of  the  company,  $12,000,000.  and  left  with  the  directors  the 
determination  of  the  details  of  issue  and  sale  and  the  disposition  of  the  proceeds. 

"It  has  been  determined  to  sell  at  present  $3,200.000  of  the  stock,  being  fifty  per  cent,  increase  on  the 
amount  now  outstanding,  and  this  amount  is  hereby  offered  for  sale  to  stockholders  of  record  on  the  l.'.r'n 
December  at  the  price  of  twenty-five  dollars  per  share.    Each  shareholder  will  be  entitled  to  purchase  one-half 
of  his  present  holding  and  all  applications  must  be  filed  with  the  company  at  its  office,  80  Broadway,  on  or  befo 
December  31      Payment  for  the  same  must  be  made  on  or  before  January  15,  1892.     The  books  of  the  company 
will  remain  closed  from  December  15  to  December  31,  for  the  purposes  of  this  issue.    Rights  may  be  assigned  by 
stockholders  of  record  on  blanks  to  be  obtained  at  the  office  of  the  company. 

"  In  sending  this  notice  to  the  stockholders,  the  directors  of  the  company  think  the  occasion  a  proper  one  to 


766        POOR'S  MANUAL — LOUISVILLE,  NEW  ALBANY  AND  CHICAGO  RY.  co. 

indicate  in  general  terms  the  purposes  to  which  the  proceeds  of  the  stock  will  be  devoted  and  the  benefits  which 
they  have  reason  to  believe  will  accrue  to  the  company  by  the  expenditure  contemplated. 

"  The  shareholders  are  aware  that  at  the  time  the  present  management  took  control,  the  treasury  of  the  com- 
pany had  been  stripped  of  all  its  assets  for  the  purpose  of  paying  the  large  floating  debt  which  existed  and  which 
threatened  the  solvency  of  the  company.  The  management  has  been  hampered  by  the  entire  absence  of  any  capi- 
tal at  their  disposal,  in  providing  facilities  to  accommodate  the  traffic  which  has  pressed  upon  the  company  but 
the  recent  action  of  the  stockholders  has  removed  this  difficulty,  and  will  enable  ample  provision  to  be  made 
from  time  to  time. 

"  The  revenues  of  the  company  are  at  present  slightly  in  excess  of  the  amount  of  the  interest  on  its  bonds 
and  other  fixed  charges,  so  that,  any  increase  of  business  will  accrue  to  the  benefit  of  the  stockholders. 

"  Your  railway  is  a  line  of  communication  from  Chicago  to  Louisville,  and  constitutes  a  main  avenue  for 
interchange  between  the  great  West  and  the  South.  It  forms  also,  with  the  Cincinnati,  Hamilton  and  Dayton,  a 
direct  and  favorite  passenger  and  freight  route  to  Indianapolis  and  Cincinnati.  The  Michigan  City  Division  gives 
access  to  a  convenient  harbor  on  the  Lake. 

"  The  growth  of  traffic  to  all  these  important  localities  has  been  constant  and  shows  evidence  of  permanent  and 
steady  increase,'  but  the  competition  which  exists  demands  that  the  facilities  of  your  company  should  be  main- 
tained at  a  standard  equal  to  any  of  its  rivals.  You  have  in  the  quarry  interests  located  on  your  own  line  an  inex- 
haustible supply  of  very  desirable  freight.  Many  of  these  are  at  present  reached  over  the  Hue  of  an  old  narrow  gauge, 
part  of  which  should  be  at  once  converted  to  standard  and  with  a  rail  capable  of  bearing  the  present  heavy  equip- 
ment. Your  depot  facilities  in  Chicago  and  Louisville  are  unequal  to  the  rapid  unloading  of  the  cars  destined  to 
those  points,  and  it  is  essential  that  some  space  should  be  secured  where  tracks  may  be  put  in  and  teams  loaded 
from  the  cars.  This  simple  provision  will  vastly  expedite  the  use  of  your  equipment  and  enable  a  much  greater 
service  to  be  obtained  from  what  you  already  have.  Some  addition  should  be  at  once  made  both  to  the  company's 
freight  cars  and  to  its  passenger  coaches.  The  Indianapolis  Division  should  be  laid  with  a  heavy  steel  rail  capable 
of  enduring  safely  the  fast  passenger  travel,  and  the  existing  steel  rail  upon  that  division  may  be  advantageously 
used  in  replacing  the  iron  rail  which  now  exists  upon  the  Michigan  City  Division.  Parts  of  your  track  should  be 
ballasted  and  some  of  your  wooden  bridges  replaced  with  metal. 

••  Each  of  the  above  suggested  improvements  is  comparatively  small  in  cost,  but  the  benefit  which  your  traf- 
fic will  derive  will  be  most  important,  both  by  an  increase  of  its  gross  amount  and  still  more  by  the  saving  in 
expense  which  the  improved  plant  will  enable.  Your  general  manager,  Mr.  McDoel,  has  ventured  the  estimate 
that  your  net  earnings  will  be  increased  $250,000  in  the  year  1893  if  he  can  be  furnished  with  adequate  equipment 
to  accommodate  the  business  offering  and  with  facilities  for  unloading  the  same  at  its  destination. 

"  This  estimate  seems  a  large  one  to  be  gained  by  so  modest  an  expenditure  as  is  contemplated,  but  the  con- 
ditions of  your  road  are  peculiar  and  the  directors  are  prepared  to  accept  as  well  founded  the  estimates  of  rhe 
general  manager  above  given.  The  earnings  of  your  road  have  increased  during  the  present  calendar  year,  $250,- 
000  even  under  the  difficulties  which  surround  its  conduct,  and  if  the  further  increase  hoped  for  should  ensue,  it 
will  be  the  policy  of  the  Board  to  divide  among  the  shareholders  any  surplus  earnings  which  the  operations  of 
the  company  may  warrant.  The  Board  believes  that  it  is  the  duty  of  directors  to  assist  so  far  as  they  can  not 
only  the  development  of  the  intrinsic  values  represented  by  the  shares,  but  also  to  assist  the  permanent  market 
values  of  the  stock  if  possible,  and  should  the  earnings  of  the  company  justify  a  division  of  its  profits  among 
stockholders  in  the  future,  the  directors  will  present  to  the  shareholders  a  proposal  for  classification  of  the  stock 
into  preferred  and  common  for  the  purposes  of  such  division,  giving  thereby  to  every  stockholder  a  portion  of  his 
holding  in  a  preferred  stock  which  shall  at  once  be  a  safe  investment  security,  and  leaving  him  still  the  majority 
of  his  holding  in  common  stock  which  shall  carry  control  of  the  property. 

"  It  is  with  some  hesitation  that  the  directors  venture  to  present  the  hypothetical  conditions  above  outlined, 
but  under  the  peculiar  circumstances  by  which  they  have  received  the  support  of  the  stockholders  and  in  view  of 
the  heavy  sacrifices  to  which  the  shareholders  have  submitted  in  the  past,  the  Board  thinks  that  a  frank  statement 
is  proper  as  to  their  policy  in  the  conduct  of  the  property  entrusted  to  them  and  as  to  the  ends  which  they  desire 
to  accomplish. 

"  Should  the  future  have  in  reserve  such  development  as  the  general  manager  expects,  the  shareholders  may 
rely  upon  the  wish  of  the  directors  to  give  them  all  benefits  to  accrue  therefrom. 

"  Meanwhile  the  situation.of  the  company  justifies  the  confident  belief  that  the  menace  has  been  removed 
which  so  long  theatened  its  finances,  namely,  that  in  the  absence  of  capital  for  improvements,  the  revenues 
applicable  to  payment  of  fixed  charges  might  become  compromised.  Responsible  parties  are  prepared  to  take  all 
of  the  present  offering  of  stock  which  the  shareholders  may  not  avail  of,  and  the  capital  thus  available  will  be 
applied  to  the  purposes  above  outlined,  whilst  $-2,400,000  stock  will  remain  in  the  treasury  of  the  company  avail- 
able for  any  requirements  in  the  future." 

On  March  9,  1892,  the  closing  of  the  fiscal  year  was  changed  from  December  31  to  June 
30,  to  agree  with  the  period  for  which  reports  are  required  by  the  Interstate  Commerce  Com- 
mission ;  the  next  annual  report  will,  therefore,  be  for  the  year  ending  June  30,  1892.

History. — The  construction  of  the  Michigan  Central  RR.  was  begun  in  1836  by  the  De- 
troit and  St.  Joseph  RR.  Co.,  chartered  June  29,  1832,  but  before  completing  any  portion  of 
the  line,  that  company  sold  its  property  and  franchises  to  the  State  of  Michigan  April  22, 
1837.  Under  the  auspices  of  the  State  the  road  was  opened  from  Detroit  to  Ypsilanti,  30 
miles,  February  8,  1838  ;  to  Ann  Arbor,  8  miles,  October  17,  1839  ;  to  Dexter,  9  miles,  June 
30,  1841  ;  to  Jackson,  29  miles,  December  30,  1841  ;  to  Marshall,  32  miles,  August  12,  1844  ; 
to  Battle  Creek,  13  miles,  November  25,  1845  ;  and  to  Kalamazoo,  23  miles,  February  2,  1846 
— in  all,  144  miles.  The  Legislature  then  refused  to  make  any  further  appropriations  for  the 
work.  In  1846  the  Michigan  Central  RR.  Co.  was  chartered,  and  purchased  the  road  and 
property  from  the  State,  taking  possession  September  25,  1846.  The  new  company  paid  to 
the  State  $2,000,000  for  the  property,  which  cost  $2,500,000.  It  completed  the  road  to  Nil*  s, 
47  miles,  in  1848  ;  to  Michigan  City,  37  miles,  1850  ;  and  to  Kensington,  43  miles,  completing 
the  line  in  May,  1852.  At  Kensington  it  connects  with  the  Illinois  Central  RR.,  using  14 
miles  of  that  line  to  reach  Chicago.  For  terms  under  which  the  lease  and  operated  lines 
were  acquired  see  the  statements  for  the  several  companies. 

During  1890  the  company  acquired  the  control,  by  a  lease,  of  the  Battle  Creek  and  Sturgis 
Ry.,  between  Battle  Creek  and  Sturgis,  a  distance  of  41  miles,  upon  a  guarantee  of  $500,000 
in  100-year  3  per  cent,  gold  bonds.  Of  this  amount,  however,  $79,000  are  sub-guaranteed  by 
the  Lake  Shore  and  Michigan  Southern  Ry.  Co.,  for  the  control  and  operation  of  that  portion 
of  the  road  between  Findley  and  Sturgis,  leaving  the  resulting  obligation  of  this  company 
$421,000,  and  also  by  a  lease  of  the  Bay  City  and  Battle  Creek  Ry.,  between  West  Bay  City

and  Midland,  about  18  miles  in  length,  upon  a  guarantee  of  $250,000  in  100-year  3  per 
cent,  gold  bonds.  The  entire  capital  stock  of  each  of  the  companies  was  surrendered  to  this 
company,  being  $500,000  in  the  former  case,  and  $300,000  in  the  latter.  These  leases  cause 
an  annual  addition  of  $20,130  to  the  fixed  charges.

the  proportion  of  two-thirds  to  the  M.  C.  and  one-third  to  this  company.  During  1887  the  company  acquired 
trackage  rights  over  the  London  and  Port  Stanley  Ry.  from  St.  Thomas  to  London,  Ont.,  a  distance  of  15  miles.

The  amount  of  consolidated  mortgage  bonds  authorized  and  issued  is  $5,000,000.  At  the 
time  of  creation  of  the  mortgage  $3,000,000  bonds  were  reserved  for  retiring  sectional  mort- 
gage and  equipment  bonds  and  for  other  lawful  purposes,  while  the  remainder  of  the  bonds 
have  since  been  issued  on  168.66  miles  of  new  road  at  the  rate  of  $12,000  per  mile. 

The  convertible  debenture  bonds  are  convertible  into  common  stock  at  the  option  of  the 
holder  within  ten  days  after  the  date  fixed  for  payment  of  dividend  on  common  stock  ;  10 
shares  for  $1,000  bond. 

The  authorized  issue  of  the  extension  and  improvement  sinking  fund  bonds  is  $5,000,000, 
of  which  $2,000,000  are  reserved  to  retire  the  debentures  of  1907 — $1,456,000  of  the  latter 
having  been  exchanged  for  extension  and  improvement  bonds  up  to  date.  The  remainder 
of  the  bonds  will  be  issued  as  required  for  betterments,  new  construction,  and  equipment. 
The  mortgage  under  which  these  bonds  were  issued  covers  the  whole  road  and  branches  con- 
structed at  date  of  issue,  February  1,  1889,  but  is  subject  to  prior  mortgages.  The  sinking 
fund  commences  on  August  1,  1893,  and  will  receive  yearly  a  sum  equal  to  one  per  cent,  of 
the  bonds  issued,  but  not  less  than  $25,000;  bonds  being  purchased  if  possible  at  110,  other- 
wise sums  to  be  invested.  The  bonds  are  for  $1,000  each,  and  are  coupon  with  privilege  of

35,001  to  45,000  inclusive)  are  of  $500  each.  These  bonds  are  secured  by  mortgage  or  deed 
of  trust  upon  the  entire  railroad  and  property  of  the  company,  including  the  securities 
representing  the  control  of  and  ownership  in  the  several  constituent  companies  organized 
under  the  laws  of  the  State  of  Texas.  Provision  is  made  upon  the  bonds  for  registration  of 
the  principal.  Trustee,  Central  Trust  Co.,  New  York. 

The  M. ,  K.  &  T.  2d  mortgage  4  per  cent,  gold  bonds  were  issued  under  the  plan  of  reor-

17,001  to  23,000  inclusive)  are  for  $500  each.  They  are  secured  by  second  mortgage  on  the 
?ame  property  and  securities  as  the  first  mortgage  bonds.  The  interest  for  five  years  from 
their  date  is  paid  only  if  earned.  The  right  to  interest  during  said  five  years  is  non- 
cumulative.  After  the  expiration  of  five  years  the  obligation  to  pay  interest  on  these  bonds 
becomes  absolute.  Payment  on  them  was  begun  by  the  company,  however,  on  February  1, 
1892,  by  payment  of  coupon  No.  3.  Provision  is  made  upon  the  bonds  for  registration  of 
principal.  Trustee,  Mercantile  Trust  Co.,  New  York,  N.  Y.

amount  to  3,622,400  acres,  subject  to  treaty  stipulations  and  to  the  extinguishment  of  the 
Indian  title.  The  lands  received  from  the  State  of  Kansas  have  all  been  sold.  No  lauds  in.

POOR'S   MANUAL — THE   MISSOURI  PACIFIC   RY.   CO. 


of  receivers  November  1.  1888,  the  accrued  interest  in  excess  of  surplus  earnings  being  larger 
than  could  be  advanced  by  the  Missouri  Pacific  Ry.  Co.  under  the  terms  of  the  lease. 

During  the  year  1881  the  M.  P.  Ry.  Co.  acquired  the  ownership  of  the  railroad,  branches, 
and  property  of  the  St.  Louis,  Iron  Mountain  and  Southern  Ry.  Co.  by  an  exchange  of  three 
shares  of  its  capital  stock  for  four  shares  of  that  of  the  St.  L.,  I.  M.  &  S.  Ry. 

The  International  and  Great  Northern  RR.  of  Texas  was  acquired  by  the  M.  K.  &  T.  Ry. 
Co.  of  Missouri  by  an  exchange  of  one  share  of  the  stock  of  the  former  for  two  shares  of  the 
stock  of  the  latter.  Lease  abrogated  by  consent  May  1,  1888,  and  since  operated  under  a 
separate  management  (see  GENERAL  INDEX). 

The  M.  P.  Ry.  Co.  leases  the  Central  branch  U.  P.  Railroad  for  25  years  from  December 
6,  1886,  accounting  to  the  Union  Pacific  Co.  (which  owns  it)  for  the  net  earnings. 

EXTENSIONS  AND  BRANCH  LINES. — In  1886  the  Missouri  Pacific  Ry.  Co.  began  the  con- 
struction of  a  series  of  branch  lines  and  extensions,  "  in  order  to  protect  the  present  traffic  of 
your  [the  company's]  railway  and  insure  its  future  growth."  To  provide  the  means  necessary 
for  this  purpose  the  stock  was  increased  during  1886-87,  at  various  times,  from  $30,000,000 
to  $45,000,000,  of  which  there  was  outstanding  December  31,  1888,  $43,974,850.  (See  MAN- 
UAL for  1890,  pp.  534-535.) 

Consolidation  of  Branch  Lines. — During  the  year  1890,  1,137.74  miles  of  road,  owned 
by  twelve  auxiliary  companies,  were  consolidated  into  a  single  corporation  under  the  cor- 
porate name  of  the  Kansas  and  Colorado  Pacific  Railway  Company,  referred  to  on  page  786 
of  the  MANUAL  for  1891.  This  consolidation  having  greatly  simplified  the  business  and  re- 
duced the  expenses  of  the  several  departments  in  respect  to  these  properties,  it  was  decided 
to  supplement  it  by  acquisition  of  other  branch  lines.  Accordingly,  during  the  past  year 
the  Fort  Scott,  Wichita  and  Western  Ry.,  309.85  miles  in  length,  has  been  sold  to  the  Kansas 
and  Colorado  Pacific  Ry.  Company,  and  the  Pueblo  and  State  Line  RR.,  151.89  miles  in 
length,  has  been  leased  to  the  same  company,  making  a  total  of  1,518.87  miles  of  branch 
roads  now  in  operation  by  this  consolidated  company,  exclusive  of  Verdigris  Valley  Division, 
80.61  miles,  leased  to  the  Missouri  Pacific  Ry.  Consolidation  was  also  effected  during  the 
past  year  of  The  Fort  Scott  and  Eastern  Ry.  Company,  The  Fort  Scott  Belt  Terminal  Ry.  Co., 
and  The  Fort  Scott  and  Southern  Ry.  Company,  under  the  corporate  name  of  The  Fort  Scott 
Central  Raihcay  Company,  thereby  uniting  in  a  single  corporation  the  57.38  miles  of  branch 
roads  lately  owned  by  these  companies.

shipment  to  points  outside  the  State,  and  for  export. 

An  extension  of  the  Troup  spur  a  distance  of  five  and  one-half  miles  to  reach  new  mining  camps  in  the  vic- 
inity of  Scotland,  Mo.,  is  under  construction  and  will  be  completed  early  in  the  present  year.

date,  affording  direct  communication  with  a  large  territory  not  heretofore  tributary  to  the  Iron  Mountain 
System. 

The  bridge  across  the  Arkansas  river  at  Fort  Smith,  Ark..  The  construction  of  which  was  commenced  in 
1890,  was  completed  during  the-  year  and  opened  for  traffic  on  May  25.  1891.  This  bridge  consists  of  ten  fixed 
spans,  e;uh  -,'IH)  feet  long,  and  one  draw  span  370  feet  long,  a  total  length  of  2.370  feet.  The  superstructure  is  of 
iron  on  piers  of  concrete  founded  on  rock.  The  opening  of  the  bridge  for  foot  and  wagon  traffic  has  been  delayed 
by  litigation,  concerning  the  right  of  the  company  to  use  its  right-of-way  for  approaches,  which  has  recently  been 
decided  in  the  United  States  courts  favorablv  to  the  Kansas  and  Arkansas  Valley  Ry. 

The  Kansas  and  Colorado  Pacific  Ry.  (D.,  M.  &  A.  Division)  was  extended  through  Chetopa,  Kan.,  to  a  con- 
nection with  the  Nevada  and  Miuden  Ry..  a  distance  of  one  mile.  The  yard  at  Chetopa  was  reconstructed,  stock 
yards  and  water  station  removed  to  points  on  new  track,  roundhouse  lemoved  and  new  depot  erected. 

A  spur  track  to  stone  quarries  north  of  Carthage.  Mo.,  a  distance  of  1.27  miles,  was  surveyed  and  placed 
under  construction. 

A  preliminary  survey  of  the  Denison  extension  of  the  Kansas  and  Arkansas  Valley  Ry.  was  commenced  in 
March  and  completed  in  August.  1891,  covering  a  line  from  Fort  Gibson,  Ind.  Ter..  to  Sherman.  Tex.,  a  distance 
of  19*J  miles,  passing  through  the  coal  fields  at  McAlester  and  Lehigh,  and  connecting  the  Texas  and  Pacific  and 
Iron  Mountain  systems,  through  the  Indian  Territory. 

The  Omaha  Southern  Ry.  was  completed  from  Union  to  Plattsmouth,  Xeb.,  14.8  miles,  and  turned  over  for 
operation  September  7,  1891.  The  portion  of  this  line  from  Plattsmouth  to  junction  with  the  Union  Pacific  Ry. 
at  Gilmore,  was  also  completed,  with  the  exception  of  a  bridge  across  the  Platte  River,  which  is  now  uuder  ccn- 
struction.  The  entire  line,  from  Union  to  Gilmore.  is  25.5  miles  in  length,  and  when  opened  will  shorten  the  dis- 
tance between  Kansas  City  and  Omaha,  14  miles,  and  afford  a  low  grade  route  for  traffic  from  Omaha  and  northern 
territory.

Berdell  mortgage  bonds  issued  by  the  Boston,  Hartford  and  Erie  RR.  Co.  (See  MANUAL  for 
1888.)  For  terms  of  leases  see  subjoined  statements  for  the  several  companies.  Through  the

bonds  in  payment  therefor. 

On  October  1,  1890,  this  company  leased  the  Providence  and  Springfield  RR.,  and  on

stock,  $81,826.34.  Dividends  paid  on  preferred  stock  (No.  11,  May  1,  1891,  on  $2,700,000, 
and  No.  12,  November  1,  1891,  on  $3,300,000— 3£  per  cent,  each),  $210,000.  Deficiency  of  net 
income  to  meet  dividends  paid,  $128,173.66.  Deficit  from  1890,  $302,668  57  ;  expended  for 
renewal  of  two  caboose  cars  destroyed  in  1833,  $1,071.50 — total  deficit  as_per  general  balance 
sheet,  $431,913.73. 

"  The  dividends  on  the  preferred  stock  paid  during  the  year  amounted  to  $210,000,  so  that  the  company's 
books  as  of  December  31,  1891,  show  an  apparent  failure  to  earn  the  dividends  paid,  by  $128,173.66.  If,  however, 
we  take  into  account  the  net  results  of  the  twelve  months  comprising  the  two  dividend  periods  for  which  divi- 
dends were  paid  in  the  year  1891,  that  is,  if  we  reckon  from  October  1,  1890,  to  September  30,  1891,  it  will  be  found 
that  there  was  a  net  surplus,  above  the  dividends  paid,  of  $19,520.20."

To  meet  the  company's  maturing  obligations  and  other  financial  requirements,  including  the  construction 
of  the  Ohio  extension  and  such  additions  and  improvements  as  were  absolute!  v  required  to  accommodate  the  com- 
pany's increasing  business,  the  55.000  shares  of  preferred  capital  stock  which  were  authorized  by  the  shareholders 
at  their  last  annual  meeting,  as  well  as  the  80,000  shares  previously  authorized  issued,  and  held  by  the  rrustee  of

holds  in  its  treasury  $650,000  of  these  bonds,  which  it  has  received  from  the  Roanoke  Machine  Works  in  settle- 
ment of  advances  to  that  company,  and  which  amount  was  used  by  that  company  during  the  past  two  years  in 
building  equipment. 

The  connection  of  the  Clinch  Valley  Division  with  the  Louisville  and  Nashville  Railroad  at  Norton  was 
completed  in  June,  1891,  and  resulted  in  an  immediate  interchange  of  traffic  which  taxed  to  the  utmost  the  facil- 
ities of  the  company.  The  lack  of  adequate  transportation  facilities  and  equipment  prevented  the  development 
of  this  traffic  to  its  lull  extent. 

In  order  to  facilitate  the  interchange  of  traffic  with  the  Louisville  and  Nashville  Railroad  and  its  connections 
a  fast  freight  line  was  organized,  designated  the  Cumberland  Gap  Despatch  Line,  which  is  now  in  satisfactory 
operation. 

The  "  Great  Southern  Despatch,1'  the  fast  freight  line  established  in  1884,  and  which  operates  between  north- 
ern and  New  England  points  over  the  Maryland  and  Washington  Division  and  main  line  and  southern  and 
southwestern  points  reached  by  the  Ea-t  Tennessee,  Virginia  and  Georgia  Railway  and  its  connections,  has, 
through  the  co-operation  of  the  Pennsylvania  RR.  Co.,  been  strengthened  by  the  establishment  of  new  agencies 
and  opening  up  of  additional  territory,  and  it,  is  believed  that  the  business  of  this  line  will  be  largely  increased. 

An  important  additional  connection  wa.s  effected  during  the  year  at  Hagerstown.  Md.,  the  northern  terminus 
of  the  Maryland  and  Washington  Division,  through  the  completion  by  the  Philadelphia  and  Reading  RR.  of  its 
line  to  a  connection  with  the  Western  Maryland  RR.,  thereby  affording  this  company  an  additional  communication 
with  interior  Pennsylvania  and  northern  and  New  England  points,  and  improving  its  facilities  for  shipments  of 
pig  and  manufactured  iron  and  cotton  to  manufacturing  districts  of  the  North  and  East,  and  enabling  it  to 
receive  additional  shipments  of  anthracite  coal,  machinery,  and  manufactured  products  for  distribution  to  points 
upon  its  owu  lines  and  its  connections. 

The  necessity  for  improved  arrangements  for  the  transaction  of  passenger  traffic  with  the  city  of  Washington 
becomes  more  apparent  each  year.  During  the  past  year,  through  improved  facilities  extended  to  this  company 
by  the  Baltimore  and  Ohio  RR.  Co.  for  the  interchange  of  passenger  traffic  at  Shenandoah  Junction,  the  number 
of  passengers  carried  to  and  from  Washington  increased  from  15,020  in  1890,  to  17.033  in  1891.

History.  —  Consolidation  December  9,  1854,  of  the  Baltimore  and  Susquehanna  RR.  Co., 
the  York  and  Maryland  Line  RR.  Co.,  the  York  and  Cumberland  RR.  Co.,  and  the  Sus- 
quehanna RR.  Co.  The  mainline  reaches  the  Elmira  and  Williamsport  RR.  and  its  northern 
extension  by  using,  under  a  traffic  arrangement.  40  miles  of  the  Philadelphia  and  Erie  RR. 
between  Sunbury  and  Williamsport.  The  Shamokin  Valley  and  Potts  ville,  and  the  Elmira 
and  Williamsport  RRs.  were  leased  in  1863,  for  999  years  each.  The  Elmira  and  Lake 
Ontario  RR.  is  controlled  through  ownership  of  a  majority  of  its  stock. 

In  1882  the  company  purchased  the  entire  capital  stock  of  the  Union  RR.  Co.,  $600,000. 
A  traffic  contract  has  been  entered  into  with  the  Stewartstown  RR.  Co.,  which  has  built  a

In  addition  to  its  railroads,  the  Pennsylvania  RR.  Co.  operates,  in  connection  with  its 
United  New  Jersey  Division,  Jersey  City  ferries,  1  mile,  and  the  Delaware  and  Kaiitan  Canal,

sock  Creek,  with  crosscut  to  Lewisburg  ;  and  from  mouth  of  Juninta  River  to  Newton  Ham- 
ilton, Pa.,  a  total  length  of  253  miles. 

History. — The  original  line  of  the  Pennsylvania  RR.  Co.,  chartered  April  13,  1846, 
extended  from  Harrisburg  to  Pittsburgh,  a  distance  of  249.29  miles.  The  work  of  construction 
was  begun  at  Harrisburg  in  July,  1847.  The  division  from  that  point  to  a  junction  with  the 
Portage  Railroad  (then  a  State  work),  at  Ho'lidaysburg,  at  the  eastern  base  of  the  mountains, 
was  opened  September  15,  1850.  The  Western  Division,  from  the  Western  end  of  the  Port- 
age Railroad  at  Johnstown  to  Pittsburgh,  was  opened  September  10,  185/2.  The  Mountain 
Division,  and  with  it  the  whole  line,  was  opened  February  15,  1854.  From  Harrisburg  to 
Philadalphia  the  line  is  made  up  of  the  old  Philadelphia  and  Columbia  RR.  (originally  a  State 
work)  and  the  Harrisburg,  Portsmouth,  Mount  Joy  and  Lancaster  RR.,  chartered  in  1832, 
opened  in  1838,  and  leased  in  1849.  The  Philadelphia  and  Columbia  RR.  was  purchased  in 
1857,  with  the  main  line  of  a  system  of  public  works  of  the  State.  This  system  was  under- 
taken in  1826,  and  contemplated  the  construction  of  canals  along  the  lines  of  all  leading  water- 
courses. The  Philadelphia  and  Columbia  RR.  was  built  to  connect  the  Susquehanna  system 
of  canals  with  Philadelphia,  as  well  as  to  form  part  of  a  line,  made  up  of  canal  and  railroad, 
between  Philadelphia  and  Pittsburgh.  When  the  system  was  undertaken,  a  canal  from  the 
waters  of  the  Susquehanna  to  those  of  the  Allegheny  was  supposed,  erroneously,  to  be  prac- 
ticable. The  Portage  Railroad  across  the  summit,  of  41  miles,  was  worked  by  a  series  of 
inclined  planes,  and  was  abandoned  upon  the  completion  of  the  Pennsylvania  RR.  For  the 
work  purchased  of  the  State  between  Philadelphia  and  Pittsburgh,  this  company  paid  $7,500,- 
000  in  its  5  per  cent,  bonds,  payable  at  the  rate  of  $460,000  annually,  the  balance,  after 
payment  of  interest,  going  to  the  i eduction  of  the  principal. 

The  following  is  a  recapitulation  of  all  the  miles  of  lines  and  tracks  either  owned, 
leased,  operated,  or  controlled  by  this  company  east  of  the  cities  of  Pitt>burgh  and  Erie,

Total  amount  expended  for  construction,  equipment,  and  real  estate  during  1891 

On  account  of  these  advances  there  has  been  received  in  cash 


Leaving  the  sum  invested  in  cash  for  construction,  equipment,  and  real  estate $2,603.417  91 

•'  The  main  items  of  betterment  expenditure  on  the  western  lines  were  in  I  he  construction  of  second,  third, 
and  fourth  tracks  and  sidings,  the  extension  of  yard  facilities,  the  erection  of  bridges  and  viaducts,  the  improve- 
ment of  the  docks  at  the  lake  ports,  the  purchase  of  real  estate  at  the  termini  of  the  various  divisions,  and  addi- 
tions to  the  equipment.  The  funds  for  these  purposes  were  largely  advanced  by  the  company.  These  lines  have 
now  reached  a  point  where  the  volume  of  their  traffic  requires  a  large  extension  of  double  track,  especially  in 
view  of  the  exceptional  demands  that  will  be  made  in  connection  with  the  Exposition  at  Chicago  in  1893.  It  will 
probably  be  necessary  to  expend  on  this  work  and  on  additional  motive  power  and  equipment  during  the  current 
year  between  six  and  seven  millions  of  dollars.  There  were  used  in  construction  and  repairs  on  the  north- 
western lines  operated  directly  in  your  interest  9.435  tons  of  new  steel  rails,  and  on  the  south-western  lines  11,023 
tons,  making  an  aggregate  of  20,458  tons.1' 

SINKING  FUNDS. 

There  have  been  redeemed  through  the  sinking  fund  $1,839,000  of  the  issue  of  $3,200,- 
000  of  the  Pennsylvania  Company's  6  per  cent,  bonds,  secured  by  Pittsburgh,  Fort  Wayne 
and  Chicago  Ry.  Co.  stock  as  collateral,  leaving  the  amount  outstanding  $1,361,000.  No 
further  redemptions  could  be  made  of  the  4£  per  cent,  bonds  secured  under  the  $20,000,000 
mortgage  of  that  company,  so  that  the  amount  outstanding  at  the  close  of  the  year  was  $19,- 
467,000. 

The  report  made  by  the  trustees  of  the  sinking  funds  of  the  first  and  second  mortgages 
of  the  Pittsburgh,  Fort  Wayne  and  Chicago  Ry.  Co.  shows  that  the  regular  annual  paymei.t 
of  $104,100  was  made  thereto.  They  redeemed  during  the  year  $124,500  of  the  first  mort- 
gage and  $107,000  of  the  second  mortgage  bonds,  making  the  total  amount  redeemed  to 
December  81,  1891:  First  mortgage  bonds,  $1,996,000;  second  mortgage  bonds,  $2,411,000. 
With  a  balance  of  cash  in  the  hands  of  the  trustees,  uninvested,  December  31,  1891  :  On 
account  of  first  mortgage  sinking  fund,  $947,547.05  ;  on  account  of  second  mortgage  sinking 
fund,  $759,769.78— total,  $1,707,316.83. 

The  further  amount  of  $175,549.32  was  added  to  the  sinking  funds  provided  for  the 
redemptiou  of  the  existing  mortgages  of  the  Cleveland  and  Pittsburgh  RR.  Co.,  in  addition 
to  the  amounts  contributed  directly  to  other  sinking  funds  by  the  individual  companies. 

Under  the  terms  of  the  lease,  the  Cleveland  and  Pittsburgh  RR.  Co.  authorized  a  new 
issue  of  $10,000,000  general  mortgage  bonds  to  provide  for  the  payment  of  maturing  and 
other  outstanding  obligations,  and  the  amounts  due  from  time  to  time  for  betterment  ex- 
penditures. In  pursuance  of  this  arrangement,  an  issue  of  $3,000,000  of  these  bonds,  bear- 
ing 4|  per  cent,  interest,  was  made  on  January  1,  1892,  and  sold  on  satisfactory  terms;  a 
portion  of  the  proceeds  being  used  to  payoff  the  $1,104,804.63  of  prior  lien  6  per  cent, 
bonds  maturing  at,  that  date,  and  to  retire  $1,010,000  of  their  7  percent,  construction  and 
equipment  bonds. 

The  earnings  of  the  Grand  Rapids  and  Indiana  RR.  Co.  were  insufficient  to  meet  the

purchased  $275,380  of  the  coupons  thereon. 

'•  In  pursuance  of  the  guaranty  of  these  bonds  the  power  to  vote  a  majority  of  the  stock  of  that  road  is  vested 
in  this  company  until  their  maturity,  October  1, 1899  ;  but  the  Grand  Rapids  and  Indiana  RR.  Co.  having,  in  con- 
nection with  the  owners*  of  the  lands  that  form  an  additional  security  therefor,  offered  to  the  holders  of  its  7  per 
cent,  bonds  to  extend  them  for  50  years,  from  July  1,  1891,  at  the  rate  of  4£  per  cent,  per  annum,  proposed  to  per- 
mit the  voting  control  of  the  stock  to  remain  with  thts  company  until"  the  maturity  of  the  extended  bonds. 
provided  this  company  would  guarantee  the  principal  and  interest  thereof,  amounting  to  $5.375.000.  An  agree- 
ment to  the  above  effect  was  entered  into  March  18,  1891,  and  $952,000  of  these  bonds  had  been  so  extended  at 
the  close  of  the  year.  There  are  yet  outstanding  $3,029,000 of  the  guaranteed,  $458,000  of  the  unguaranteed  land- 
grant,  and  $936,000  of  the  ex-land  grant  7  per  cent.  1st  mortgage  bonds  of  that  company."

account  of  the  dividend  of  May  29,  1891. 

The  trust  certificates  (originally  $10,000,000)  were  issued  to  provide  part  of  the  means 
for  the  purchase  of  the  P.,  W.  &  B.  RR.  (see  SUMMARY  OF  PROGRESS,  in  MANUAL  of  1882,

the  Pennsylvania  RR.  Co.  is  pledged,  and  they  are  further  secured  by  a  deposit  of  200,000  of 
the  shares  purchased,  with  the  Pennsylvania  Co.  for  Insurance  on  Lives  and  Granting 
Annuities  as  trustee.  The  dividends  upon  this  stock,  after  providing  for  the  interest  on  the 
then  outstanding  certificates,  are  applied  as  a  sinking  fund  for  their  purchase  and  cancella- 
tion, whenever  they  can  be  obtained  at  a  price  not  exceeding  par. 

The  item  "  Accounts  Payable,"  in  the  General  Balance  Sheet,  consists  of  the  following  : 
Pay  rolls  and  vouchers,  $6,849,609.55  ;  traffic  balances  due  other  roads,  $1,018,795.97  ;  due 
other  roads  other  than  traffic  balances,  $15,127,797.93  ;  interest  on  bonds  matured  and  uncol- 
lected,  $90,429.82;  dividends  due  stockholders  uncollected,  $89,271.25;  dividend  scrip 
due  stockholders  uncollected,  $5,122.18  ;  interest  on  stock  allotments,  $133.88 — total, 
$23,181,160.58. 

The  total  line  charged  in  construction  account  for  road  between  Philadelphia  and  Pitts- 
burgh includes  the  Harrisburg,  Portsmouth,  Mt.  Joy  and  Lancaster  RR.,  109.22  miles,  rep- 
resented by  $1,882,550  guaranteed  stock  and  bonds  of  that  company  ;  the  branches  to  Indiana, 
Hollidaysburgh  and  Morrison's  Cove  ;  branch  at  Tyrone  and  branch  to  connect  with  P.,  V.  &

t  The  Insurance  Fund  actually  represents.  December  31.  1891.  an  asset  of  $2,773.607.47  invested  in  bonds  of 
the  par  value  of  $2,855,000.     Value  of  Insurance  Fund,  at  close  of  1891,  $2,789.517.35. 

GENERAL  REMARKS. 

There  was  paid  to  the  managers  of  the  trust  created  October  9,  1878,  to  December  31,  1891,  the  sum  of  $4.- 
159,192.98  :  the  income  therefrom  has  been  $3.609.565.12.  and  securities  have  been  purchased  amounting  at  par  to 
S7,68fj,000.  yielding  an  interest  of  6.08  per  cent,  for  the  vear.  There  was  appropriated  to  that  trust  for  the  vear 
1891  the  sum  of  $98.622.42. 

In  pursuance  of  the  powers  conferred  by  the  provisions  of  the  trust  the  managers  were  authorized  by  the 

Board  of  Directors.  April  8,  1891,  "  whenever,  in  their  judgment,  it  should  be  to  the  interests  of  the  company  so 

to  do.  to  exchange  any  of  the  securities  held  from  time  to  time  in  the  trust  for  other  securitits.  the  principal  and 

interest  or  dividend  upon  which  is  guaranteed  by  this  company  ;  and  also  from  time  to  time  to  sell  and  dispose  of 

any  securities  so  held  in  the  trust,  provided  that  the  proceeds  thereof  shall  be  invested  in  the  purchase  of  other 

rities  guaranteed  as  aforesaid  by  this  company."    This  modification  was  found  essential  to  the  successful 

'orking  or  the  tru^t.  from  the  fact  that  loans  held  by  it  were  falling  due.  and  the  moneys  received  therefor  had 

necessarily  to  be  invested  in  other  guaranteed  securities. 

The  statement  of  the  Insurance  Fund  shows  assets  on  hand  at  the  end  of  the  year  of  $2.789,517.35,  being  an 
increase  over  the  previous  year  of  $264,126.34. 

From  the  statement  of  the  Insurance  Fund  it  will  be  seen  that  the  amount  contributed  by  the  company  and 

tnliated  lines  during  the  year  was  $76,180.91  for  operating  expense*,  and  in  addition  thereto  the  sum  of  $20,061.50 

•  extr t  benefits  to  members  of  the  fund  whose  disability  had  continued  over  fifty-two  weeks,  and  who  were. 

e.  no  longer  entitled  to  regular  benefits  from  the  fund.     The  amount  contributed  by  the  employees  was 

49o,910.26,  and  the  receipts  from  interest  were  $4.801.37.  which,  with  the  contributions  by  the  companies,  as 


856          POOR'S  MANUAL — PENNSYLVANIA  mi.  co. 

stated  above,  $90,243.41,  made  a  total  of  *r>%,<).->4.01.  This  added  to  the  balance  on  hand  at  the  beginnini:  <>r  the 
year,  $144,588.85,  aggregated  $741,542:89.  Of  this  amount  there  was  paid  to  the  families  of  employees  in  death 
benefits,  and  for  sickness  and  accidents,  the  gum  of  $53',.),1S2.X2,  for  expenses  $7(i.  180.5)1,  leaving  a  balance  of 
$135,179.16  with  which  to  adjust  outstandingclaims.  The  number  of  persons  receiving  death  benefits  was  870, 
making  an  average  in  each  case  of  $HS2.71.  There  were  27,200  members  of  the  fund  at  the  close  of  the  year.  The 
great  benefits  arising  from  this  fund  arc  shown  in  the  fact  that  it  is  now.  including  the  expenses  of  administra- 
tion, distributing  over  $50,000  per  month  for  the  purpose  of  relieving  the  suffering  necessarily  arising  from  acci- 
dent, sickness,  and  death  among  the  employees  who  have  availed  themselves  of  its  provisions. 

The  Employees'  Saving  Fund  continues  to  show  its  value  to  theemployees,  in  affording  them  a  safe  depository 
for  a  portion  of  their  earnings.     The  number  of  depositors  has  increased  daring  the  year  from  2.59u  to  3.1.V-. 
amount  of  deposits  received  during  185)1  was  $378,301,  and  the  balance  in  the  fund. 'at  the  close  of  the  year,  was 
$866,866.49.     Of  this  amount  $800,000  have  been  securely  invested  in  4  per  cent,  bonds. 

The  amount  expended  during  the  year  upon  the  main  line  between  New  York  and  Pittsburgh,  and  charged 
to  capital  account,  was  $5.044,576.08,  the  principal  items  of  which  were  for  equipment,  third  and  fourth  tracks, 
and  additional  yard  facilities,  principally  at  Altoona  and  Wall's.  The  improvements  at  the  latter  point  were 
brought  into  use  during  the  year,  and,  in  connection  with  those  in  the  immediate  vicinity  of  Pittsburgh,  have 
tended  materially  to  remove  the  difficulties  heretofore  existing  in  the  movement  of  traffic  through  that 

During  the  year  the  equipment  has  been  increased  by  the  addition  of  54  locomotives,  70  passcngei,  3  postal, 
and  1,500  freight  cars,  in  addition  to  those  provided  through  the  car  trust  system.  All  new  freight  cars  are  now 
provided  with  the  most  improved  safety  appliances,  in  the  way  of  automatic  couplers  and  air-brakes,  and  the 
entire  rolling  stock  will  be  so  equipped  as  rapidly  as  the  general  interests  of  the  company  will  permit.  Ar; 
ments  were  also  perfected  through  which  1,000  additional  box  cars  were  furnished  for  service  on  the  Philadelphia 
and  Erie  RR.  for  the  purpose  of  stimulating  the  movement  of  grain  and  merchandise  between  Erie  and  Philadel- 
phia. With  the  view  of  the  further  developing  the  trade  through  Erie,  the  Western  lines  have  largely  increased 
their  facilities  for  the  handling  of  iron  ore  and  coal  at  that  port,  and  it  is  hoped  that  advantage  will  be  taken  of 
these  improvements  by  those  interested  in  the  commercial  prosperity  of  this  city. 

The  Trenton  cut-off,  alluded  to  on  page  844  of  last  MANUAL,  was  completed  during  the  year,  and  a  portion 
thereof  opened  for  traffic  about  the  middle  of  the  summer,  but  the  entire  line  was  not  in  use  until  January  11, 1892. 
As  the  principal  portion  of  the  line  was  constructed  under  the  charter  of  this  company,  all  but  $100,000  of  the 
amount  expended  thereon  has  been  charged  to  the  construction  account,  of  the  main  line,  and  so  appears  on  the 
balance  sheet.  Steps  have  been  taken  to  connect  it  with  the  Chestnut  Hill  Branch. 

There  was  also  expended  in  the  construction  of  branch  and  auxiliary  lines  the  sum  of  g2.3i5,742. 14,  of  which 
amount  $1,002.859.68  were  reimbursed  to  this  company  in  cash.  One  of  the  principal  items  of  this  outlay  was  the 
work  upon  the  Pittsburgh,  Virginia  and  Charleston  Ry..  in  which  this  company  is  largely  interested,  for  the  pur- 
pose of  enabling  it  not  only  to  better  accommodate  its  rapidly  increasing  local  traffic,  but  also  to  secure  the 
prompt  movement  of  through  traffic  between  the  main  line  and  the  lines  west  of  Pittsburgh. 

The  McKeesport  and  Bessemer  RR.  was  completed  during  the  year,  and  is  now  in  active  operation.  It  gives 
this  system  of  lines  a  direct  connection  with  the  large  manufacturing  industries  in  the  town  of  McKeesport,  and 
will  prove  a  valuable  addition  to  the  property. 

The  Ebensburg  and  Cresson  RR.  having  been  sold  and  reorganized,  was.  on  August  6, 1891,  merged  and  con- 
solidated into  the  Cambria  and  Clearfield  RR.  Co.  This  line  was  projected  to  develop  the  territory  adjacent 
thereto  in  the  Allegheny  Mountain  coal  field  ;  quite  a  large  amount  was  expended  during  the  past  year  in  the 
construction  cf  its  main  line  and  branches  which  are  expected  to  secure  a  valuable  bituminous  coal  and  miscel- 
laneous traffic  for  the  system. 

The  total  amount  expended  for  the  above  purposes  on  the  lines  east  of  Pittsburgh  and  Erie,  after  deducting 
the  sum  reimbursed  in  cash,  as  shown  in  the  detailed  statement  on  page  842,  was  $6,367.458.54.  which  was  not 
as  large  as  that  expended  in  1890  for  similar  purposes.  During  the  coming  year,  however,  it  is  expected  that  the 
outlays  east  of  Pittsburgh  and  Erie  will  not  be  so  great  as  in  the  past  year,  but  as  it  was  believed  that  the  through 
business  of  the  company  would  require  a  material  increase  of  box-car  equipment,  contracts  have  been  made  for 
the  delivery  thereof  in  the  spring  of  1892.  The  capital  required  for  the  lines  west  of  Pittsburgh  will  be  materially 
greater,  as  those  properties  have  reached  a  point  where  the  volume  of  their  traffic  will  require  large  outlays  for 
double  track  and  increased  equipment. 

The  Bedford  and  Bridgeport  RR..  having  been  sold  under  foreclosure  of  its  mortgage  on  March  26,  1891.  was 
reorganized  under  the  title  of  the  Bedford  and  Bridgeport  Ry.  Co..  on  May  5,  1891. 

The  Frankford  and  Holmesburg  RR.,  which  had  been  sold  on  November  5,  1890,  was  reorganized  under  the 
title  of  the  Bnstleton  RR.  Co..  January  15,  1891. 

During  the  year  large  expenditures  were  made  in  the  elevation  of  the  tracks  and  the  reconstruction  of  the 
passenger  station'in  Jersey  City.  These  tracks  are  now  in  use,  avoiding  all  grade  crossings  of  streets  in  that  city, 
and  the  station  will  be  completed  during  the  present  year,  when  both  the  public  and  the  company  should  realize 
the  benefits  resulting  from  this  outlay,  in  the  prompt" and  safe  movement  of  the  large  passenger  traffic  handled  at 
that  point. 

The  work  of  completing  the  four-track  system  through  the  city  of  Trenton,  which  necessitated  the  widening 
or  a  number  of  street  bridges  over  this  road,  as  well  as  of  the  large  bridge  over  the  Delaware  River,  and  the  baild- 
ing  of  a  new  passenger  station,  has  been  vigorously  prosecuted,  and  will  be  finished  during  the  coming  year. 

The  protracted  litigation  in  connection  with  the  Allegheny  Valley  RR.  which  had  extended  over  a  period  of 
seven  years,  was  finally  brought  to  a  close  by  a  sale,  December  15, 1891,  under  a  judgment  obtained  on  the  coupons 
of  the  $10,000,000  Low-Grade  Division  mortgage,  which  had  been  purchased  by  this  company  under  its  guaranty. 
A  reorganization  was  effected  on  February  5,  1892,  under  the  name  of  the  Allegheny  Vattey  Ri/.  Co.  see  pai:e  r,.~>0». 
This  sale  was  made  in  pursuance  of  an  amicable  agreement  entered  into  between  the  parties  in  interest,  under 
which  the 'new  company  is  to  issue  $20,000,000  of  50-year  4  per  cent,  bonds,  guaranteed,  principal  and  interest,, 
by  the  Pennsylvania  RR.  Co.  Of  these  bomt«  a  sufficient  amount  will  be  retained  by  the  trustees  to  meet  the 
present  mortgage  indebtedness  of  the  Allegheny  Valley  RR.  Co.,  aggregating  $16,800,000,  and  of  which  this  com- 
pany is  practically  the  guarantor,  and  the  balance  will  be  used  from  time  to  time  as  addditional  capital  may  be 
required;  $18,000.000  of  preferred  stock  and  $12.000.000  of  common  stock  are  also  authorized  to  be  issued,  in 
exchange  for  outstanding  income  bonds,  overdue  coupons,  and  other  securities  of  the  old  company,  and  in  settle- 
ment of  obligations  of  the  new  corporation,  and  for  its  general  purposes.  Under  this  plan  the  road  is  relieved  of 
a  larure  amount  of  debt,  the  interest  whereon  was  beyond  its  ability  to  meet  ;  and  with  the  near  maturity  of  a 
portion  of  its  bonds,  and  the  conversion  thereof  into  securities  bearing  a  lower  rate  of  interest,  it  is  hoped  that 
the  road  will  show  more  satisfactory  results  in  the  future.

ware and  Raritan  Canal  Co.  and  the  Camdeu  and  Amboy  Railroad  Co.  were  both  chartered  in  February.  1830.  the 
former  to  construct  a  canal  to  connect  the  Delaware  and  Raritau  Rivers,  and  the  lafteT  to  build  a  line  of  railroad 
from  the  Delaware  River  to  Raritan  Bay.  In  February.  1831.  an  act  was  pa^eu  authorizing  the  consolidation  of 
the  capital  stocks  of  these  two  companies,  the  companies  being  thus  practically  consolidated,  although  nominally 
distinct  corporations.  The  affairs  of  the  companies  were  managed  jointly  by  the  directors  of  b«th.  and  they  u  ere 
to  share  equally  in  profits.  Under  this  joint  management  the  construction  of  the  work- was  beL'tin.  The  main 
line;-  of  the  railroad  and  canal  were  completed  in  1834.  and  the  branches  in  1838.  In  183«5  the  United  Companies 
acquired  a  controlling  interest  in  the  stock  of  the  Philadelphia  and  Trenton  RR.  Co..  and  entered  into  an  agree- 
ment with  that  company  for  an  equal  division  of  their.joint  profits. 

In  January.  186?.  an  agreement  was  entered  into  between  the  United  Companies  and  the  New  Jersey  Rail- 
road and  Transportation  Co..  which  owned  the  line  between  New  Brunswick  and  Jersey  City,  forming  a  fink  in 
the  through  New  York-Philadelphia  route,  for  a  consolidation  of  interests  :  and  under  this  agreement  the  profits 
were  equally  divided  between  the  four  companies— the  Delaware  and  Raritan  Canal  Co..  the  Camden  and  Amboy. 
the  New  Jersey,  and  the  Philadelphia  and  Trent- >n  Railroad  Compan'es. 

In  June.  1871.  the  entire  property  was  leased  to  the  Pennsylvania  RR.  Co..  for  9fH)  years,  the  lessee  receiving 
all  assets  and  assuming  all  obligations,  and  guaranteeing  to  the  United  Companies  an  annual  rental  equal  to  10 
per  cent,  on  the  aggregate  capital  stock,  and  dividends  of  an  equal  rate  to  the  Philadelphia  and  Trenton.

the  following  purposes  :  To  retire  fourth  mortgage  bonds  and  scrip  (matured  January  1, 
1892),  $1,100,000  ;  to  be  exchanged,  bond  for  bond,  for  construction  and  equipment  bonds, 
as  agreed  by  the  Penn.  RR.  Co.,  $1,010,000  ;  to  pay  lessee  for  betterments  for  the  years  1887 
to  1891,  inclusive,  any  amount  over  that  necessary  to  pay  for  same  to  be  applied  toward

fund,  and  all  taxes.  A  sinking  fund  of  not  less  than  1  per  cent  on  the  total  amount  of  out- 
standing bonds  is  provided  for  the  redemption  of  these  bonds,  whenever  the  same  can  be  had 
at  or  under  par  and  accrued  interest.  By  an  agreement  entered  into  with  the  Farmers'  Loan 
and  Trust  Co.,  trustee  of  the  consolidated  sinking  fund  bonds  of  1900,  no  further  issues  of 
bonds  will  be  made  under  the  same.  The  lessee  agrees  to  accept  the  bonds  of  the  new  gen- 
eral mortgage  for  all  betterments  hereafter  to  be  made,  and  no  further  issues  of  the  construc-

900  POOR'S   MANUAL — PHILADELPHIA   AND    READING   RR.    CO. 

History. — Chartered  April  4,  1833  ;  work  begun  in  the  spring  of  1835,  and  portions  of 
the  line  openel  in  July,  1838.  By  1842  track  had  reached  Pottsville,  and  on  May  13  of  that 
year  the  Mount  Carbon  RR.  to  Pottsville,  1  mile,  was  merged  into  the  line.  The  first  through 
trains  between  Philadelphia  and  Pottsville  were  run  in  January,  1842.  The  Hue  from  the 
Falls  of  the  Schuylkill  to  Port  Richmond,  from  which  the  shipments  of  coal  are  made,  was 
completed  in  1842  ;  the  other  lines  were  acquired  subsequently,  as  shown  in  the  foregoing 
statement.  (See  MANUAL  for  1891.) 

The  chief  business  of  the  company  is  the  transportation  of  coal  from  the  first  and  second 
anthracite  coal-fields  of  Pennsylvania  to  tide- water  in  the  Delaware  River,  at  Port  Richmond, 
Philadelphia.  At  this  eastern  terminus  are  23  wharves,  extending  from  300  to  800  feet  into 
the  river,  with  trestlework  and  shutes,  allowing  a  direct  discharge  of  coal  from  the  cars  into 
vessels.  More  than  60  miles  of  track  are  distributed  on  the  wharves  of  the  immediate  neigh- 
borhood. The  main  line  of  road  winds  through  the  Schuylkill  Valley,  numerous  branches 
extending  east  and  west  into  the  two  southern  coal-fields.  The  Broad  Mountain  dividing  the 
two  coal-fields  is  crossed  at  four  different  points,  three  of  which  lead  directly  into  the  Mahanoy 
coal-field,  and  one  into  the  VVisconisco  Ba>in.  The  Laurel  Run  Improvement  Co.,  which  was 
chartered  May  18,  1871  ;  name  changed  December  12,  1871,  to  the  Philadelphia  and  Reading 
Coal  and  Iron  Co.,  was  organized  under  the  auspices  of  the  Railroad  Company  for  the  purpose 
of  purchasing  and  operating  the  coal  properties  with  which  the  railroad  was  connected.  The 
Philadelphia  and  Reading  RR.  Co.  owns  all  the  stock  in  the  coal  company,  and  bonds  and 
mortgages  on  the  coal  lands  to  the  amount  of  $39, 737, 904.53. 

A  contract  running  for  900  years  from  February  4,  1892,  between  the  New  York  Central 
and  Hudson  River  RR.  Co.,  the  Fall  Brook  Coal  Co.,  the  Philadelphia  and  Reading  RR.  Co., 
and  companies  controlled  by  these  provides  for  an  interchange  of  through  and  local  traffic  and 
the  formation  of  a  through  line  between  Philadelphia  and  Buffalo.  (See  MANUAL  for  1883 
and  1884.) 

The  entire  tonnage  of  the  Beech  Creek  UR.  to  Philadelphia  and  New  York  and  all  points 
south  and  east  is  thrown  upon  the  lines  of  the  Philadelphia  and  Reading  RR.  Co.,  under  a 
contract  for  900  years,  which  provides  for  a  pro  rata  of  joint  charges  between  the  several 
connecting  lines. 

The  Schuylkill  River  East  Side  RR.  affords  access  to  the  traffic  from  the  lines  of  the  Bal- 
timore and  Ohio  RR.  Co.  and  its  connections,  over  the  P.  £  R.  System. 

The  company  was  reorganized  in  1887,  the  floating  debt  paid  off,  rental  and  interest 
charges  reduced,  and  certain  fixed  interest  charge «  converted  into  obligations  upon  which 
interest  is  payable  only  if  earned.  The  plan  of  reorganization  was  given  in  full  in  the 
MANUAL  for  1887,  page  281 — which  see. 

For  terms  under  which  the  leased  and  controlled  roads  are  operated — see  subjoined  state- 
ments. 

In  addition  to  its  lines  of  railroad,  the  Philadelphia  and  Reading  RR.  Co.  leases  and 
operates  the  following  canals  :  Schuylkill  Canal,  108.23  miles— leased  for  999  years  from 
January  1,  1870  ;  Susquehanna  Canal,  45  miles — leased  for  999  years  from  January  1,  1872. 

In  November,  1890,  the  Port  Reading  RR.  Co.  was  organized  in  the  interest  of  this  com- 
pany to  build  20  miles  of  road  from  Bound  Brook  to  Staten  Island  Sound,  where  extensive 
terminals  will  be  established  ;  and  2.84  miles  of  it,  from  Bound  Brook  east,  had  been  com- 
pleted at  the  close  of  the  year  1891. 

The  Leliigh  Valley  RR.  and  the  Central  RR.  of  New  Jersey  were  leased  in  February, 
1892,  for  999  years— the  former  to  the  Reading,  from  December  1,  1891,  and  the  latter 
nominally  to  the  Port  Reading  RR.  Co.;  from  January  1,  1892.  The  obligations  on  account 
of  interest,  rentals,  etc.;  and  assumed" by  lessee.  Leliigh  Valley  stock  is  guaranteed  divi- 
dends at  the  rate  of  5  per  cent,  till  July  1, 1892  ;  dividend  of  6  per  cent,  for  the  year  following, 
and  7  per  cent,  yearly  after  July  1,  1893,  any  surplus  over  7  per  cent,  to  be  divided 
equally  between  the  Reading  and  the  Lehigh  Valley  till  the  latter  receives  10  per  cent.  ;  any 
surplus  above  which  will  go  to  the  Reading.  Central  New  Jr-r*ey  stock  is  guaranteed  7  per 
cent,  dividend  ;  any  excess  above  that  figure  to  be  equally  divided  between  Reading  and  Jer- 
sey Central.

A  controlling  interest  in  the  Poughkeepsie  Bridge  system  has  also  been  acquired,  and  the 
Reading  began  to  run  its  trains  to  Hartford  and  New  England  points  on  February  3,  1892. 
On  February  10,  1892,  a  receiver  was  appointed  for  the  Central  New  England  and  Western 
and  the  Poughkeepsie  Bridge,  in  the  interest  of  the  Reading.  It  is  said  to  be  the  intention 
to  consolidate  the  two,  and  to  issue  a  blanket  mortgage  for  $6,250,000,  bearing  4  per  cent, 
for  4  years,  and  5  per  cent,  thereafter,  and  to  be  guaranteed  by  the  Reading. 

A  controlling  interest  in  the  Delaware,  Lackawanna  and  Western  Co.  was  also  acquired 
in  February,  1892,  by  parties  in  the  interest  of  the  Philadelphia  and  Reading. 

Collateral  trust  5  per  cent,  gold  bonds,  dated  February  1,  1892,  and  maturing  February

The  following  extracts  are  taken  from  the  Railrond  Company's  report  for  1891  : 

"Out  of  the  surplus  of  ?l.£04.9-;l.97  over  fir>t  charges,  tie  company,  under  the  provisions  of  the  income 
mortgages,  declared  the  full  limited  rate  of  5  percent.,  payable  February  1.  lf?90.  on  the  1st  preferences  and  4^ 
per  cent,  on  the  seconds." 

••  During  the  year  there  were  expended  for  betterments  and  additions  of  a  permanent  nature.  $505.004.14. 
and  for  cars  and  locomotives  $1.0  >. 405. 77.  amounting  in  ail  to$1.7;3.46'.'.91.  which  was  carried  to  capital  account/1 

••  The  company  is  practically  free  from  floa?iir_r  debt  :  the  $1.150.000  item  of  bills  payable  shown  in  the  bal- 
ance sheet  represents  notes  given  to  secure  the  advances  necessary  to  complete  the  construction  of  the  Philadel- 
phia. Harrisburg  and  Pittsburgh,  the  Port  Reading  and  tl^-  Tamaqua.  Hazleton  and  Northern  Railroads,  and  so 
much  as  necessary  of  the  proceeds  of  the  securities  issued  on  those  roads  will  be  used  to  take  up  the  notes,  and 
the  indebtedness  will  be  cancelled." 

••  Provision  has  been  made  for  all  necessary  betterments,  new  equipment  and  additional  property  which  will 
be  hereafter  required,  by  an  issue  of  $10.000.000  5  per  cent,  collateral  tru~t  bonds,  which  are  unused  and  un- 
and  the  proceeds  will  be  expended  only  for  the  improvement  of  and  addition*  to  the  present  mortgaged 
All  new  lii.es  and  extensions  will  either  be  of  sufficient  Importance  to  provide  the  necessary  funds 
independently,  or  their  promotion  will  not  be  undertaken  by  the  company.  Within  six  years,  and  b* •:' 
maturity  of  this  loan,  there  will  have  been  liberated  under  the  plag  of  reorganization  an  equal  amount  of  general 
mortgage  4s.  applicable  to  these  purposes  under  the  mortgage.  The  possession  of  these,  means  affon;- 
assurance  of  the  ability  of  the  company  to  continue  the  enlargement  of  its  equipment  and  fa-  ilities  at  all  times 
in  >ea«on  to  meet  promptly  the  demands  of  hs  increasing  traffic,  to  avail  of  all  the  economies  which  arise  from 
modern  improvements  «td  methods,  without  unduly  burdening  the  current  income,  and  at  the  same  time  to  carry 
the  business  successfully  Through  periods  of  depression  should  any  occur. 

••  In  this  connection,  it  is  proper  to  add  that  the  company  owns  stocks  and  bonds  of  the  par  value  of  $40.- 
683.050.16.  represented  in  the  balance  sheet  at  a  cost  of  $22.069.000.66.  A  fair  cash  value  of  these  securities 
exceeds  $10,000,000.  Thi<  does  not  include  any  of  the  issues  of  securities  of  the  Coal  and  Iron  Co." 

PORT  READING  RAILROAD.— Work  is  progressing  rapidly  on  the  new  line  to  Port  Reading  on  the  Arthur  Kill, 
and  will  be  ready  early  in  the  year  for  operations  lolig  in  advance  of  the  season  when  the  heaviest  traffic  is  to  be 
expected. 

TAMAQUA.  HAZLETON  AND  NORTHERN  RAILROAD.— During  the  year  a  company  of  this  name  has  been  organ- 
ized to  build  a  line  from  the  Catawissa  Branch  to  the  vicinity  of  Hazfeton.  connecting  with  the  Delaware.  Susque- 
hayna  and  Schuylkill  RR.,  with  which  traffic  arrangements  have  been  entered  into  guaranteeing  the  P.  A  R.  RR. 
Co.  a  minimum  of  1,000.000  tons  of  anthracite  coal.  The  new  line  has  been  completed  and  is  now  in  operation. 

MOUNT  CARMEI.  AND  NATALIE  RAILROAD.— Connections  have  also  been  made  with  the  Mount  Carmel  and 
Natalie  RR.,  near  Mount  Carmel  on  the  Mahanoy  and  Shamokin  Branch.  This  new  line  has  been  constructed 
by  the  proprietors  of  a  large  undeveloped  coal  estate,  and,  under  an  exclusive  contract  with  your  company.  ,\ill 
deliver  an  additional  anthracite  tonnage  to  your  lines  of  from  300,000  to  400.000  tons  annually. 

PHILADELPHIA.  HARRI*BUR<;  AND  PITTSBURGH  RAILROAD.—  During  the  year  past  the  Philadelphia.  Harris- 
burg  and  Pittsburgh  RR.  has  been  completed  and  put  into  operation.     There  has  been  a  steady  in<; 
traffic  on  this  road  since  it  was  opemd.  and  it  is  believed  that  the  road  will  earn  not  only  its  fixed  cha:  _   a 
also  a  dividend  on  the  stock,  in  addition  to  the  contribution  it  makes  to  the  business  of  the   main    stem. 
Itygbvrg  and  Harritburg  Bailrotiel  has  been  acquired  during  the  year,  as  a  feeder  to  this  division,  on 
favorable  terms.    The  construction  of  the  new  passenger  terminal  in  the  City  of  Philadelphia  is  progressing 
rapidly,  and  will,  it  is  expected,  be  in  full  operation  during  the  current  year.    Wharves,  docks,  storage,  ana 
transfer  plants  have  been  provided  at  the  important  points  of  distribution  in  New  England  and  the  W 
Buffalo  a  storage  and  transfer  plant  of  lar.-e  capacity  has  been  established  during  the  year  for  shipments  of  coal 
to  all  points  West  by  rail,  while  wharf  and  dock  facilities  have  also  been  secured  for  shipments  by  the  oreat 
lakes  during  the  season  of  open  navigation  to  such  distributing  points  as  Chicago.  Milwaukee,  and  Duluth, 
and  others  of  less  importance,  where  the  necessary  docks  and  storage  room  have  been  provided.    The  amount 
charged  out  by  the  railroad  company  under  its  guarantees  at  the  close  of  the  fiscal  year  1890,  to  meet  the  sink-

ing  fund  requirements  of  the  divisional  coal  laud  mortgages,  was  $340,107.12,  of  which  $188,000  was  applied  to- 
the  payment  and  cancellation  of  divisional  coal  land  bonds,  and  the  balance  has  been  duly  invested  in  other 
bonds  until  divisional  bonds  of  the  class  to  which  the  fund  is  applicable  can  be  purchased  for  cancellation.  The 
amount  retained  at  the  close  of  the  last  fiscal  year  for  this  purpose  will  be  similarly  disposed  of.  The  increase  of 
the  sinking  fund  requirements  for  last  year  over  the  previous  year  is  due  to  the  increased  output  from  the  mines, 
upon  which  the  sinking  fund  payments  are  based.  The  results  of  the  operations  of  the  Coafand  Iron  Company 
durine  the  year,  as  compared  with  1890,  presents  a  most  encouraging  exhibit.  After  charging  all  payments  for  the 
year  to  operating  expenses,  the  deficit  is  reduced  to  $332,860.68,  against  a  deficit  for  1890  of  $l,42t),8t;fj.3:3.  A  large 
part  of  this  saving  is  due  to  the  reduced  cost  of  mining  coal,  resulting  from  the  expenditures  recently  made  for  the 
introduction  of  new  and  improved  methods  and  machinery,  and  has  been  effected  notwithstanding  an  increased 
cost  of  supplies.  Arrangements  have  been  consummated  for  the  extension  of  the  Divisional  Mortgage  Bonds 
maturing  during  the  current  year  on  satisfactory  terms. 

The  immense  estates  of  the  company  aggregate  upwards  of  194,000  acres,  which  may  be  classified  as  follows  : 
Coal  lands  owned  (acres),  95,144  :  coal  lands  leased  from  others  (acres),  7,429— total  coal  lands,  102.573  acres. 
Timber  lands  owned  (acres),  70,489  ;  iron  ore  lands  (acres),  21,000— total  area  (acres),  194,062.  The  collieries  in 
operation  are  located  :  On  lands  owned,  36  ;  on  lands  owned  by  controlling  companies,  4  ;  on  lands  leased,  11  ; 
temporarily  abandoned,  10— a  total  of  61.  In  addition  to  these,  and  excluding  small  operations,  there  are  13 
collieries  which  are  operated  by  tenants.  All  of  the  company's  collieries  either  nave  been  or  are  being  modern- 
ized and  supplied  wifh  improved  machinery  for  handling  and  preparing  the  coal  for  market.  The  coal  lands 
comprise  in  extent  about  33  per  cent,  of  the  entire  anthracite  coal  fields  of  the  state,  and  the  company  estimates 
that  it  has  at  least  50  per  cent,  of  the  entire  deposit  remaining  unmined.

*  The  statements  of  passengers  and  tons  of  freight  moved  are  given  as  they  appear  in  the  company's  report. 
It  will  be  observed  that  the  total  of  rhe  numbers  credited  to  each  division  is  in  excess  of  the  number  given  in  the 
"  Total  "  column.  This  is  probably  due  to  transfer  passengers  and  freight  being  credited  in  full  to  each  division 
over  which  they  passed.  The  mileage  of  passengers  and  freight,  and  the  total  number  of  each  moved,  given  in

Annual  meeting,  second  Monday  in  January.  Books  are  not  closed  for  annual  meeting,,

fifteen  days  before  payment  of  same.  Stock  listed  on  the  Exchanges  at  Philadelphia  and 
Boston.  For  dividends  paid  by  the  company  see  MANUAL  for  1890. 

The  following  extracts  are  taken  from  the  company's  report  : 

The  company  purchased  the  equipment  formerly  owned  by  the  Baltimore  and  Potomac  RR.  Co.,  consisting 
of  39  engines,  72  passenger  and  baggage,  and  305  freight  cars.  The  equipment  was  purchased  for  the  same  reason 
for  which  the  company  acquired  last  year  the  rolling  stock  of  the  Philadelphia  and  Baltimore  Central  RR.,  namely, 
to  consolidate  the  ownership  in  this  company  and  save  the  accounting  necessitated  under  the  former  system, 
It  was  also  deemed  advisable,  as  the  Baltimore  and  Potomac  and  Washington  Southern  RRs.  formed  a  direct  pro- 
longation of  the  main  line  south,  that  these  two  roads  should  be  operated  under  this  organization,  and  arrange- 
ments to  that  effect  have  been  in  force  since  November  1,  1891. 

Under  authority  conferred  bv  the  Legislature  of  the  State  of  Delaware,  the  company  sold  to  the  Delaware 
RR  Co.,  on  the  1st  of  July,  the  New  Castle  Branches,  extending  from  the  junction  with  the  Delaware  R 
Rodney  to  the  crossing  of  the  Shellpot  Branch  by  the  line  north  of  the  Christiana  River,  a  distance  of  11.2  miles  ; 


POOR'S  MANUAL — PHILADELPHIA,  WILMINGTON  AND  BALTIMORE  SYSTEM.   923 

and  also  the  line  recently  constructed  from  New  Castle  to  a  junction  with  the  said  Shellpot  Branch,  on  the  south- 
west side  of  the  Christiana  River,  5.5  miles  in  length,  and  known  as  the  New  Castle  Cut-off. 

The  consideration  received  therefor  was  $1,000,000,  one-half  in  stock  and  the  other  half  in  bonds  of  the  Del- 
aware RR.  Co.,  bearing  4£  per  cent,  interest,  to  bear  date  July  1,  1891,  and  mature  July  1,  1931.  This  sale  was 
made  after  a  thorough  examination  of  the  whole  question,  and  was  approved  by  the  shareholders  of  the  two- 
companies  June  19,  1891.  The  property  thus  conveyed  to  the  Delaware  RR.  Co.  was,  by  agreement  bearing  date 
July  15,  1891.  brought  within  the  terms  of  the  lease  under  which  the  company  now  operates  the  Delaware  RR. 

In  pursuance  of  legislation  obtained  from  the  State  of  Delaware  May  8.  1891,  by  the  Delaware,  Maryland, 
and  Virginia  RR.  Co.,  in  reference  to  the  mortgages  held  by  that  State  against  two  of  its  constituent  lines,  the 
Junction  and  Breakwater  and  the  Frankford  and  Breakwater  RRs..  the  compai>y  agreed  to  advance  to  the  Dela- 
ware, Maryland  and  Virginia  RR.  Co.  the  amount  necessary  to  enable  it  to  pay  the  State  of  Delaware  on  July  1 
the  sum  of  $50,000,  and  on  November  1.  1891.  the  sum  of  $165.000,  on  account  of  the  mortgage  for  $400,000  held 
by  the  Slate  against  the  Junction  and  Breakwater  RR.,  and  also  the  amount  necessary  to  pay  the  interest  due  the 
State  on  the  mortgages  on  both  roads  up  to  November  1.  1891,  the  State  having  agreed,  in  consideration  thereof,, 
to  reduce  the  rate  of  interest  upon  the  balance  of  the  debt  from  4  to  3  per  cent,  per  annum,  and  extend  the  pay- 
ment of  the  principal  to  January  1,  1932. 

Under  the  authority  granted  by  such  legislation,  the  company  also  became  the  owner  of  a  large  portion  of 
the  securities  upon  the  fines  now  forming  the  Delaware.  Maryland  and  Virginia  RR. 

The  7  per  cent,  bonds  of  the  West  Chester  and  Philadelphia  RR.,  amonnting  to  $1,100,000.  having  matured 
April  1, 1891,  a  like  amount  of  consolidated  mortgage  bonds,  maturing  November  1,  1911,  was  issued  by  the  Phila- 
adelphia  and  Baltimore  Central  RR.  Co.,  with  the  rate  of  interest  reduced  to  4A-  per  cent,  per  annum,  for  the  pur- 
pose of  providing  funds  to  meet  the  debt  thus  maturing  ;  the  residue  of  said  bonds,  amounting  to  $400,000,  and 
bearing  a  like  rate  of  interest,  being  reserved  for  the  general  purposes  of  the  company. 

For  the  purpose  of  providing  capital  for  the  construction  and  equipment  expenditures  of  the  company,  an 
issue  was  authorized,  under  date  of  January  1,  1891,  of  $1,000,000  of  4  per  cent,  debentures,  maturing  in  1926,  of 
which  $864,000  had  been  issued  at  the  close  of  the  year.

Dividend  6  per  cent,  bonds,  dated  1881,  due  Jan.  1,  1894,  interest  not  exceeding  6  per  cent,  if  earned. . .     1,357,000 

The  trustees  of  the  sinking  fund  of  the  first  mortgage  bonds  report — 1st  mortgage  bonds 
in  sinking  fund,  series  "A,"  $504,000;  series  "  B,"  $589,000— total,  $1,093,000.  Cash  on 
deposit  with  the  U.  S.  Trust  Co.,  $241,016.42— total,  $1,334,016.42. 

The  interest  on  the  preferred  stock  is  cumulative.  It  takes  precedence  of  the  interest 
on  the  dividend  bonds  issued  in  1881,  and  is  also  convertible  into  common  stock  at  par. 
Voting  power  attaches  to  all  classes  of  bonds  except  the  dividend  bonds. 

It  was  proposed  in  a  circular  of  December  29,  1890,  qualified  by  later  circulars  of 
January  8,  and  February  25,  1891,  that  such  holders  of  preferred  stock  as  might  so  elect 
should  have  the  opportunity  of  surrendering  their  certificates  of  stock,  with  all  arrears  of 
accrued  dividends,  in  exchange,  for  150  per  cent,  of  the  par  of  the  said  stock  in  the  bonds  of 
the  C.,  C.,  C.  &  St.  L.  Ry.  Co.,  held  by  this  company,  all  stock  so  surrendered  to  be  can- 
celled and  retired.  Up  to  December  31,  1891,  there  had  been  surrendered  8,126  shares  of  the 
preferred  stock,  and  in  exchange  there  had  been  delivered  to  the  holders  bonds  of  the  C.,  C., 
C.  &  St.  L.  Ry.  Co.,  to  the  par  value  of  $1,218,900,  with  sales  of  scrip,  $8,100— making  a 
total  of  $1,222,000. 

The  dividend  bonds  are  not  entitled  to  receive  anything  either  for  interest  or  principal 
until  all  arrears  of  dividend  upon  the  preferred  stock,  as  well  as  other  prior  legal  claims,  shall 
have  been  adjusted,  and  a  surplus  of  annual  earnings  reached  which  will  be  applicable  to 
such  dividend  bonds. 

Dividends. — In  1880,  the  company  distributed  55  per  cent,  of  the  principal  of  the  pre- 
ferred stock  in  dividend  bonds,  and  3  per  cent,  in  cash  for  arrears  up  to  January  1,  1881. 
From  1881  to  1884,  inclusive,  four  cash  dividends  of  7  per  cent,  each  were  paid  on  preferred 
stock.  In  1885  and  1886,  2£  per  cent,  each  were  paid.  In  1888,  U  per  cent.,  and  in  January, 
1889,  1  per  cent.  (For  statement  of  all  dividends  paid  by  the  company  up  to  the  close  of  the 
year  1887,  see  MANUAL  for  1888,  page  528.)  Dividends  payable  at  10  Wall  St.,  New  York. 

*  This  item  will  be  adjusted  when  the  final  entries  in  connection  with  suspense  account  are  made. 
t  Includes  retired  preferred  stock  and  expense  incident  to  sale  of  main  line.    Final  adjustment  not  yet  made 
and  completing  entries  are  delayed  till  such  adjustment,  which  will  probably  be  made  during  1892.

SOUTHERN   PACIFIC    COMPANY. 

(For  maps  of  this  company  systems,  see  pp.  948  and  949.) 

History. — Chartered  under  the  laws  of  the  State  of  Kentucky.  Company  organized 
August  14,  1884.  Authorized  capital,  $150,000,000. 

"  ORGANIZATION. — The  Southern  Pacific  Company  is  a  corporation  created  by  special  charter  from  the  State 
of  Kentucky,  authorizing  it,  among  other  things,  to  contract  for  and  acquire,  by  purchase  or  otherwise,  stocks, 
bonds,  or  securities  of  any  company,  corporation,  or  association  ;  to  enter  into  contracts  in  respect  to  the  con- 
struction, establishment,  acquisition,  owning,  equipment,  leasing,  maintenance,  or  operation  of  any  railroads, 
telegraphs,  or  steamship  lines,  or  any  public  or  private  improvements  ;  and  to  buy,  hold,  sell,  and  deal  in  all 
kinds  of  private  and  public  stocks,  bonds,  and  securities. 

"  The  capital  fixed  by  the  charter  was  $1,000,000,  with  power  to  increase  the  amount  from  time  to  time,  aa 
might  be  determined  by  the  board  of  directors,  with  the  approval  of  at  least  two-thirds  in  interest  of  the  stock- 
holders. In  1884  the  original  amount  of  $1,000,000  was  paid  in  cash,  and  the  authorized  capital  was  increased  to 
$100,000,000.  With  the  issue  of  $87,076.200  of  this  new  stock,  the  greater  part  of  the  capital  stock  was  acquired 
in  the  proprietary  lines  included  in  the  Omnibus  lease.  For  the  purpose  of  acquiring  the  proprietorship  of  addi- 
tional lines,  the  authorized  capital  was  fixed  in  1888  at  $150,000,000. 

"  The  practical  operations  of  the  company  commenced  March  1,  1885,  on  which  date  the  Omnibus  lease,  went 
into  effect.  On  April  1  following,  the  lease  of  the  Central  Pacific  lines  went  into  operation.  The  leasehold  terms 
are  hereinafter  stated.11 

The  Southern  Pacific  dompany  acquired  control  of  the  Central  Pacific  and  associated 
lines,  1,649.86  miles,  April  1,  1885  ;  of  the  Southern  Pacific  and  leased  properties,  1,354.80 
miles,  March  1,  1885:  of  the  Atlantic  System  (excepting  the  New  York,  Texas,  and  Mexican), 
1,600.87  miles,  March  31,  1885  ;  of  the  New  York,  Texas,  and  Mexican,  91  miles,  September 
1,  1885  ;  of  the  South  Pacific  Coast  Ry.,  104  miles,  July  1,  1887;  of  the  Oregon  and  Cali- 
fornia RR.,  474.80  miles,  July  1,  1887;  and  of  the  Northern  California  Ry.,  25.90  miles, 
June  1,  1889.  The  steamers  of  the  company  were  acquired  through  Morgan's  Louisiana  and 
Texas  Company.  The  following  statement  shows  the  mileage  of  all  linens  operated  Decem-

equal  to  the  interest  on  the  bonds  which  were  issued  on  said  line.  This  rental  amounts  to  the  annual  sum  of

between  it  and  the  Southern  Pacific  Co.,  as  the  interest  paid  by  the  latter,  as  lessee,  includes  interest  on  all  the 
outstanding  bonds.  In  the  report  of  the  Southern  Pacific  RR.  Co.  of  California  this  mileage  is  included,  as  it  is 
covered  by  its  30-year  6  per  cent,  bonds.

owners  of  the  Portland  and  Willamette  Valley  Ry.,  extending  from  Portland  to  Dundee  Junction,  for  the  opera- 
tion of  that  property  for  their  account.  This  road  connects  with  the  Oregonian  RR.,  and  both  roads  being  narrow- 
gauge  lines,  this  arrangement  secures  to  the  public  through  service  and  additional  facilities  not  otherwise 
obtainable.  For  convenience  in  accounting,  this  line  is  treated  in  statements  of  operations  in  same  manner  as  a 
leased  line. 

"  There  was  omitted  in  the  annual  report  for  1890  the  mileage  of  the  Texas  Transportation  Company,  extend- 
ing from  Houston  to  Clinton.  8.00  miles.  This  mileage  has  been  added  to  that  reported  for  1890,  to  state  correctly, 
as  between  the  two  years,  the  increase  in  operated  mileage. 

"The  average  number  of  miles  operated  for  the  year  were  6,375.53  miles,  an  increase  of  322.07  miles  over  the 
average  number  operated  in  1890. 

••  In  addition  to  the  afore-meutioned  lines  of  railroad,  the  company  operates  also  a  line  of  ocean  steamships

lines  in  the  State  of  Texas,  which  are  operated,  under  statutory  requirements  of  said  State, 
independently  and  by  their  own  officers)  the  lines  forming  nearly  all  of  the  Southern  or 
"  Sunset"  route  from  San  Francisco  to  New  Orleans  by  rail,  and  thence  to  New  York  by 
steamer,  together  with  their  lateral  lines  and  branches.  The  Southern  Pacific  Company 
agrees  to  maintain  said  roads,  to  pay  all  fixed  and  other  charges,  including  interest  on  bonds

POOR'S   MANUAL — SOUTHERN   PACIFIC    COMPANY.  951 

• 

Betterments  and  additions  to  leased  lines  and  equipment  are  currently  made  by  the 
lessee,  and  the  payments  therefor  become  annually  a  charge  to  the  lessor  companies,  each 
being  charged  with  the  cost  of  the  additions  to  its  separate  property.  The  lease  is  for  99 
years. 

Under  date  of  July  1,  1889,  in  conformity  with  a  statute  of  the  State  of  Texas,  all  leases 
of  railroads  in  that  State  were  cancelled,  and  the  properties  have  since  been  operated  by 
their  own  officers.  The  roads!  controlled  by  the  Southern  Pacific  Company  through  owner- 
ship of  capital  stock  are  generally  included,  as  formerly,  in  the  Atlantic  system  of  the  com- 
pany, in  all  reports  of  operations  and  statistical  exhibits.  The  following  comprise  the  lines 
controlled  by  the  Southern  Pacific  Company  in  Texas  :  Texas  and  New  Orleans  RR.;  Gal- 
veston,  Harrisburg  and  San  Antonio  Ry. ;  Gulf,  Western  Texas  and  Pacific  Ry.;  and  New 
York,  Texas  and  Mexican  Ry. 

California  Pacific  Railroad. — Leased  for  50  years  from  November  1,  1886,  at  a  rental  of 
$600.000  per  annum.  Betterments  and  additions  are  made  by  lessee,  and  will  be  charged 
to  lessor  at  the  termination  of  the  lease,  at  their  then  cost  value.  The  terms  of  the  agree- 
ment, including  the  amount  of  rental,  are  subject  to  change  every  five  years,  if  wished  for, 
and  any  revision  proposed  is  to  be  determined  by  arbitration. 

Central  Pacific  Railroad  Company. — Leased  February  17,  1885,  and  lease  modified  Jan- 
uary 1,  1888.  Lessee  pays  from  net  earnings  all  interest  on  bonded  and  floating  debt,  ex- 
cepting debt  to  the  United  States,  and  all  sinking  fund  requirements,  and  from  the  balance 
pays  a  minimum  annual  rental  of  $1,360,000.  which  may  be  increased  according  to  the  net 
profits  from  the  leased  property  to  a  maximum  of  $4,080,000,  and  any  surplus  over  the 
latter  sum  is  retained  by  the  lessee. 

Northern  Railway  Company. — A  new  lease  was  made  with  this  company  July  1,  1888, 
to  run  for  99  years  from  that  date,  covering  all  of  the  company's  lines  as  consolidated,  and 
which  now  are  or  hereafter  may  be  constructed.  The  lessee  pays  from  net  earnings  of  the 
property  interest  on  bonded  and  floating  debt,  the  surplus  up  to  6  per  cent,  on  its  capital 
stock  going  to  lessor,  the  lessee  retaining  all  over  that  amount.  Betterments  are  made  by 
lessee,  and  charged  annually  against  lessor.  Lessee  guarantees  principal  and  interest  of 
bonds. 

Oregon  and  California  Railroad  Company. — Lease  is  for  40  years,  from  July  1,  1887,  at 
a  rental  equal  TO  interest  on  bonds  and  all  current  fixed  charges,  and  dividends  up  to  6  per 
cent,  on  common  and  7  per  cent,  on  preferred  stock,  any  surplus  over  dividends  being  retained 
by  lessee.  Betterments  and  additions  are  made  by  the  lessee  for  account  of  lessor. 

South  Pacific  Coast  Railway  Company. — Lease  is  for  55  years,  from  July  1, 1887.  Lessee 
pays  from  net  earnings  all  fixed  and  other  charges,  including  interest  on  bonded  and  floating 
debt,  and  charges  for  betterments  and  additions,  and  any  balance  is  retained  by  or  charged 
to  the  lessee. 

Northern  California  Ry.  Co. — Leased  for  40  years  from  June  1, 1889.  Lessee  pays  from 
net  earnings  all  fixed  and  other  charges,  including  interest  on  bonded  and  floating  debt,  and 
charges  for  betterments  and  additions.  Any  balance  is  retained  by  or  charged  to  the  lessee. 

PROPRIETARY  LINES. 

Of  the  total  capital  stock  of  proprietary  lines  named  below,  amounting  at  par  to  the  sum 
of  $164,717.227,  the  amount  of  $163,802,550  is  owned  by  the  Southern  Pacific  Company,  as 
shown  elsewhere.  This  stock  has  been  acquired  by  issuing  stock  of  the  Southern  Pacific 
Company  at  par  and  receiving  in  payment  therefor  stock  of  the  several  railroad  companies 
named  at  the  rate  set  opposite  each,  namely  : 

Southern  Pacific  Railroad  Co.  of  California  at 60  per  cent. 

Southern  Pacific  Railroad  Co.  of  Arizona  at . .  60 

Southern  Pacific  Railroad  Co.  of  New  Mexico  at 60

The  acquisition  of  the  capital  stock  of  Morgan's  Louisiana  and  Texas  RR.  and  Steamship 


952 


POOR'S   MANUAL — SOUTHERN  PACIFIC   COMPANY. 


Co.  carried  with  it  the  proprietorship  of  the  Gulf,  Western  Texas  and  Pacific  Ry.  Co.  and 
several  transportation  lines  in  Texas  and  Louisiana. 

The  Morgan  Company  also  owns,  a  majority  interest  in  the  capital  stock  of  the  Houston 
and  Texas  Central  Ry.  Co.;  and  this  last-named  company  owns  a  controlling  interest  in  the 
capital  stock  of  the  Texas  Central  Ry.  Company.  The  Houston  and  Texas  Central  and  the 
Texas  Central  Ry.  are  at  present  operated  by  receivers.  Their  operations  do  not  therefore 
appear  in  this  report.  The  terms  for  the  reorganization  of  the  affairs  of  the  former  company 
have  been  agreed  to,  and  are  now  being  carried  out. 

For  cash  and  for  obligations  assumed  by  the  terms  of  leases,  the  stock  has  also  been 
acquired  of  the  South  Pacific  Coast  Ry.  Co.,  the  New  York,  Texas  and  Mexican  Ry.  Co.,  and 
the  Northern  California  Ry.  Co. 

Further  exchanges  are  being  made  for  additional  stock  of  some  of  the  above  companies, 
so  that  the  Southern  Pacific  Company  has  practically  the  ownership  of  them  all.  These 
properties,  therefore,  though  separate  corporations,  comprise  in  effect  the  Southern  Pacific 
Company.  A  full  statement  of  the  Southern  Pacific  Company's  affairs  thus  requires  a  con- 
solidation of  the  exhibits  for  both  the  proprietor  company  and  its  proprietary  lines. 

The  company  also  owns  41,721  shares  of  stock  in  the  Mexican  International  Railroad  Co., 
of  the  par  value  of  $4,172,100,  out  of  the  total  capital  outstanding,  amounting  to  $11,835,500. 
For  these  shares  the  Southern  Pacific  Company  issued  its  stock  to  the  amount  of  $834,420. 
As  the  stock  owned  in  this  line  is  not  a  majority  of  the  whole,  and  as  it  is  not  operated  by 
the  Southern  Pacific  Company,  its  financial  affairs  do  not  appear  in  this  report. 

The  greater  amount  of  the  capital  stock  of  the  Southern  Pacific  Company  having  been 
issued  to  acquire  the  stocks  of  proprietary  lines,  the  amount  so  issued  stands  practically  in 
lieu  of  that  received  ;  and  the  stocks  thus  received  covering  practically  all  the  capital  stock 
of  the  several  companies,  the  stock  issued  therefor  by  the  Southern  Pacific  Company  repre- 
sents the  actual  ownership  of  the  proprietary  lines.  To  guard  against  the  circulation  of  this 
double  capital,  the  stock  'of  the  proprietary  lines  owned  by  the  Southern  Pacific  Company 
has  been  deposited  in  trust  with  the  Union  Trust  Co.,  and  stamped  not  negotiable  till  the 
'Southern  Pacific  stock  issued  therefor  has  been  cancelled.

POOR'S   MANUAL — SOUTHERN   PACIFIC   COMPANY. 


The  actual  results  of  the  year's  operations,  as  shown  above,  has  been  to  practically  in- 
crease the  assets  of  the  proprietary  companies  in  the  sum  of  $3,396,159.35,  which  sum  inures 
almost  entirely  to  the  Southern  Pacific  Co.,  as  the  principal  owner  of  the  stock  of  said  pro- 
prietary companies.  This  is  exclusive  of  $456,947.88  accruing  to  the  Southern  Pacific 
Co.  from  the  operation  of  leased  properties,  and(  $180, 290.09  income  of  Southern  Pacific  Co. 
from  other  investments,  which,  if  added  to  the  $3,396,159.35,  will  make  a  total  of  $4,033,- 
397.32  against  $2,641,303.09  in  1890,  an  increase  of  $1,392,094.23.  The  profits  of  $456,947.88, 
which  inure  to  the  Southern  Pacific  Co.  in  the  above  distribution,  are  shown  in  the  income 
account  of  said  company  on  page  959,  but  the  $3,396,159.35  accruing  to  the  proprietary 
lines  are  included  in  the  assets  of  the  respective  companies. 


PROPRIETARY  LINES. 

The  preceding  statements  include  the  earnings  and  expenses,  and  show  the  distribution 
of  the  net  results  remaining  from  the  operation  of  all  the  properties  in  which  the  Southern 
Pacific  Company  is  interested,  either  by  lease  or  the  principal  ownership  of  the  stock  of  such 
companies.  To  show,  in  the  aggregate,  the  earnings  and  financial  condition  of  the  proprietary 
lines,  for  which  the  stock  of  this  company  is  outstanding,  the  following  statements  are  sub- 
mitted in  respect  to  such  earnings,  and,  as  relevent  thereto,  the  assets  and  liabilities  of  the 
Southern  Pacific  Company. 

The  surplus,  which  remains  from  the  operations  of  these  lines,  has  been  as  follows  :

It  will  be  observed  that  there  has  been  a  gratifying  increase  in  the  earnings;  the  surplus 
per  mile  of  road  is  not  as  great  in  1891  as  in  1885,  but  this  is  due  in  the  main  to  the  much 
greater  sums  of  money  expended  in  the  general  improvement  of  these  properties,  which  was 
commenced  towards  the  close  of  the  year  1886,  a  policy  which  has  been  steadily  adhered  to 
since  that  time. 


POOR'S   MANUAL — SOUTHERN    PACIFIC   COMPANY.

In  addition  to  the  improvements  made  through  these  channels,  large  sums  of  money  have 
been  directly  expended  in  change  of  line  and  other  betterments  and  additions,  and  some 
estimate  can  be  formed  of  what  has  been  done  in  this  direction  on  these  properties  from  the 
undermentioned  statement  in  respect  of  said  expenditures.

There  is  a  sinking  fund  of  $100,000  per  annum  for  retirement  of  the  1st  mortgage  6  per  cent  30-year  bonds  of 
the  Southern  Pacific  RR.  Co.,  Classes  A  to  F.  The  Gross  receipts  from  sale  of  lands  are  also  pledged  to  the  re- 


demption of  the  bonds.  A  sinking  fund  of  §20,000  per  annum  for  retirement  of  1st  5s  of  1938  commences  in  1898, 
and  one  of  §50,000  per  annum  for  redemption  of  Southern  Pacific  Branch  bonds  commences  in  1897 

The  new  consolidated  mortgage  5  per  cent,  bonds  of  1938  are  limited  in  issue  to  $38,000,000.  or  on  newly 
built  road  to  $22,500  per  mile  for  single  track  and  $7,500  additional  for  double  tracking,  additional  equipment 
and  other  betterments  and  additions.  During  1889  the  outstanding  bonds  of  the  Pajara  and  Santa  Cruz,  the 
Monterey,  the  San  Pablo  and  Tulare,  and  the  Los  Angeles  and  San  Diego  Railroads  were  retired  and  cancelled, 
and  new  consols  issued  in  place  of  them.  Provision  is  also  made  in  the  mortgage  for  the  ultimate  exchange  of 
consols  for  the  Southern  Pacific  Branch  bonds.  The  consols  are  a  lien,  subject  to  prior  mortgages,  on  all  prop- 
erty now  owned  or  which  may  hereafter  be  acquired,  excepting  the  Colorado  Division.  Trustee,  Central  Trust 
Company,  New  York.

to  the  Needles,  242.51  miles,  leased  to  the  Atlantic  and  Pacific.  RR.  Co.,  making  1,717.05  miles  of  road  on  which 
the  company's  bonds  are  a  lien  :  rate,  $27,595  per  mile. 

These  bonds  are  also  a  lien  upon  the  lands  granted  by  the  United  States.  As  the  recent  issues  have  been  in 
5  per  cent,  bonds,  while  those  redeemed  have  been  6  per  cents.,  the  interest  charge  per  mile  of  road  has  been 
reduced  in  a  greater  proportion  than  the  reduction  in  the  bonds  outstanding.  Annual  interest  charge,  $2.723,750; 
rate  per  mile,  $1,586.34.

POOR'S   MANUAL — SOUTHERN  PACIFIC   SYSTEM.  973 

GOVERNMENT  SINKING  FUITD. 

The  Government  of  the  United  States,  by  Act  of  Congress  approved  July  1.  1862,  and  other  Acts  amendatory 
thereof,  granted  to  the  Central  Pacific  and  other  railroad  companies  subsidies  of  bonds  and  lands  to  aid  in  the 
construction  of  a  railroad  and  a  telegraph  line  from  the  Missouri  River  to  the  Pacific  Ocean,  and  to  secure  to  the 
Government  the  use  of  the  same  for  postal,  military,  and  other  purposes.  By  the  Act  of  July  2,  J864.  the  lien  of 
these  bonds  was  made  subordinate  to  the  lien  of  the  company'?  first  mortgage  bonds.  The  total  amount  issued 
to  the  Central  Pacific  Railroad  Company  was  S25.SS5.120  :  to  the  Western  Pacific  Railroad  Company,  $1.970.560— 
total  to  consolidated  company,  $27.855.680,  the  annual  interest  of  which  is  $1.071.340.80. 

By  the  Act  of  1864.  the  Government  was  entitled  to  withhold  one-half  the  charges  for  transportation  on  its 
account,  and  to  receive  from  the  company  5  per  cent,  of  its  net  earnings,  to  be  applied  to  the  retirement  of  the 
principal  and  interest  of  the  subsidy  bonds.  By  an  Act  passed  May  8,  1878,  commonly  known  as  the  "  Thurman 
Bill,"  it  was  provided  that— 

"  There  shall  be  carried  to  the  credit  of  the  said  sinking  fund,  on  the  first  day  of  February  in  each  year,  the 
one-half  of  the  compensation  for  services  hereinbefore  named  rendered  for  the  Government  by  said  Central  Pacific 
Railroad  Company,  not  applied  in  liquidation  of  interest  :  and  in  addition  thereto  the  said  company  shall,  on  said 
day  in  each  year,  pay  into  the  treasury-  to  the  credit  of  said  sinking  fund.  $1, 200, 000,  or  as  much  thereof  as  shall 
make  the  5  per  centum  of  the  net  earnings  of  its  road  payable  to  the  United  States  under  said  Act  of  18*2.  and  the 
whole  sum  earned  by  it  a?  a  compensation  for  services  rendered  for  the  United  States,  together  with  the  sum  by 
this  section  required"  to  be  paid,  amount  in  aggregate  to  25  per  centum  of  the  whole  net  earning*  of  said  railroad 
company,  ascertained  and  defined  as  hereinbefore  provided  for  the  year  ending  December  31  next  preceding.'" 

The  requirements  for  the  year  under  the  Thurman  Act  amounts  to  $613.516.27  ;  applicable  as  follows  :  United 
States  bonds  and  interest,  $359,731.01  ;  to  sinking  fund  in  United  States  Treasury.  $-,V>:3.7:?5.26— total,  $613,516.27. 
Additional  payments  in  1891.  under  decision  of  United  States  Supreme  Court  disallowing  payments  for  new  con- 
struction and  new  equipment  as  a  charge  against  earnings  in  ascertaining  net  earnings  from  the  period  from  July 
1.  l*rs,  to  December  31,  1*90.  $ 405. 065. 43,  applicable  as  follows  :  United' States  bonds  and  interest.  $137.041.93  : 
sinking  fund  in  United  States  treasury,  £268.043.50— total.  3405.085.43.  Payments  to  United  States  Government 
to  December  31,  1891,  as  per  settlements  with  United  States  Commissioner  of  Railroads — for  United  States  bond 
and  interest  account.  J8.U53.100.18:  for  sinking  fund  in  United  States  treasury.  §4.456.634.76— total,  $12.509.734.94. 

There  is  due  the  companies  lo  December  31,  1891,  from  the  government  $3,339,426.60.  Of  this  sum  $1,068,- 
161.67  is  due  the  Central  Pacific  RR.  Co..  having  accrued  prior  to  the  lease  of  April  1, 1885  ;  the  balance  of  §2.271.- 
264.93  is  due  the  lessee. — the  Southern  Pacific  Co.  These  amounts  represent  charges  for  transportation  of  U.  S. 
mails,  troops,  supplies,  etc.,  on  non-aided  and  leased  lines,  and  are  in  excess  of  all  amounts  found  due  the  United 
States  from  the  companies  under  the  several  acts  of  Congress.  The  amounts  are  due  the  companies  in  cash, 
though  withheld  by  the  Government  on  account  of  the  association  of  these  roads  with  the  aided  line.  For  large 
amounts  included  in  these  balances,  judgments  have  been  rendered  in  favor  of  the  company  by  the  Court  of 
Claims,  which  have  been  aflirmed  by  the  Supreme  Court  (U.  S.  Rep.,  vol.  118,  p.  235.  and  vol.  138,  p.  48),  and 
which  determine  the  law  regarding  the  whole,  but  as  yet  Congress  has  made  no  appropriation  for  their  payment. 

By  a  decision  of  the  Supreme  Court  rendered  in  the  October  term  of  1890  tTol.  1:38.  U.  S.  Reports,  p.  84), 
reversing  a  previous  decision  of  the  Court  of  Claims.  '•  all  such  expenditures  as  have  the  effect  of  permanently 
improving  the  value  of  the  company's  property  and  works  "  were  excluded  from  the  category  of  expenses  to  be 
taken  from  gross  receipts  in  order  to  ascertain  the  ''net earnings  "  under  the  Thnrman  Act.  Following  the  ear- 
lier decision  of  the  Court  of  Claims,  accounts  with  the  United  States  under  the  Thurman  Act  had  been  currently 
settled,  allowing  charges  for  new  construction  and  equipment  as  proper  deductions  from  the  gross  in  ascertaining 
the  net  earnings.  These  settlements  were  during  the  past  year  restated  by  the  U.  S.  Commissioner  of  Railroads 
(Report  1891.  p.  24)  and  the  additional  amount  thereby  found  due  the  Government,  amounting  to  $405.085.43,  was 
settled  through  the  lessee  in  the  same  manner  as  with  the  current  annual  requirement.  The  distribution  of  the 
charge  therefor  amounted  to  $334,754.51  for  the  Central  Pacific  RR.  Co.,  and  $70,330.92  for  the  Southern 
Pacific  Co. 

For  the  period  from  July  1.  1878.  to  March  31,  1885,  the  property  was  operated  by  the  Central  Pacific  RR.  Co. 
From  April  1.  1885.  to  December  31.  1^86.  the  net  profits  from  operations  paid  as  rental  under  the  lease  were  in 
excess  of  the  fixed  rental  guaranteed  ;  thus  for  these  periods  the  additional  requirement  is  payable  by  the  Central 
Pacific  RR.  Co.  From  January  1.  1887.  to  December  31.  1S90,  the  leasehold  operations  were  annually  less  than 
the  guaranteed  rental  paid,  the  additional  requirement  for  this  period  becoming,  therefore,  a  charge  to  be  borne 
by  the  Southern  Pacific  Co. 

The  condition  of  the  sinking  fund  in  the  United  States  Treasury  is  reported  by  the  Secretary  of  the  Treaa- 
nry  to  December  31,  1891,  as  follows  :  Deposits  by  the  company— cash  and  transportation  charges.  $3.960,572.91. 
Investments  by  Secretary  of  the  Treasury— United  States  6  per  cent,  currency  bonds.  $2.237.000  :  Union  Pacific 
Railroad  bonds,  $537,000  :  Central  Pacific  Railroad  bonds.  $1.122.000  ;  other  railroad  bonds,  $151,500— total, 
*4j)47.500  :  casn  uninvested.  $10.782.89  :  premiums  paid  for  bonds  by  Secretary  of  Treasury,  81,176,868.01  ;  inter- 
est and  premium  received.  $1,274.577.99— balance,  gain  on  investment  to  date.  $97.709.98. 

This  fund  has  been  in  operation  for  thirteen  and  one-half  years.  The  amount  of  $97,709.98  represents  the 
net  proceeds  from  the  investments  for  that  period  by  the  Government.  The  accruing  interest  for  the  year  on  the 
bonds  in  the  fund  amounted  to  $242,850.  while  the  increase  for  interest  and  premium,  as  shown  above,  was  but 
$104,938.77.  This  results  from  an  advance  of  interest  which  was  made  on  its  bonds  by  the  Government  in  1890, 
entering  in  that  year  a  portion  of  the  interest  not  falling  due  till  1891.

Ry.  Co.  first  mortgage  bonds,  $4,420,000  ;  Idaho  Central  Ry.  Co.  first  mortgage  bonds,  $91,000  ;  Utah  Southern 
RR.  Co.  first  mortgage  bonds,  $389,000  ;  extension  first  mortgage  bonds,  $982.000.  All  of  these  bonds  are  held  by 
the  trustees  under  the  trust  indenture  of  September  4,  1891,  excepting  $2,098,000  in  Utah  &  Northern  Ry  Co 
first  mortgage  bonds  held  in  the  Union  Pacific  RR.  Co.'s  6  per  cent,  collateral  trust,  $1,974,000  in  Utah  and 
Northern  Ry.  Co.  first  mortgage  bonds,  and  $83,000  in  Urah  Southern  RR.  Extension  first  mortgage  bonds  held  in 
the  Union  Pacific  Ry.  Cos.  5  per  cent,  collateral  trust. 

The  consolidated  mortgage  bonds  are  dated  August  1,  1889,  and  mature  April  1,  1919.  Both  principal  and 
interest  are  expressed  to  be  paid  in  United  States  gold  coin.  This  issue  is  limited,  including  all  underlying  mort- 
gage bonds,  to  $25,000  per  mile  of  completed  railway,  with  provisions  for  issuing  additional  amounts  when  neces- 
sary for  terminals  and  second  tracks,  not  exceeding  in  the  aggregate  $35,000  per  mile  of  double  track,  and  is 
secured  by  a  mortgage  on  the  entire  property  and  the  franchises  of  the  consolidated  company.  Provision  is 
made  for  the  retirement  of  all  underlying  mortgage  bonds pari-passu  with  the  issue  of  consolidated  bonds,  so  that 
the  total  issue  of  all  bonds,  both  consolidated  and  underlying,  shall  never  exceed  the  amount  per  mile  of  com- 
pleted single  or  double  track  railway  above  stated.  Bonds  may  be  paid  before  maturity  at  105  and  accrued  inter- 
est, after  notice  as  provided  in  the  mortgage,  but  only  upon  payment  of  the  entire  issue.  Interest,  payable  April 
1  and  October  1,  is  guaranteed  by  the  Union  Pacific  Ry.  Co.  under  a  traffic  agreement,  in  the  same  way  that  pay- 
ment of  interest  on  Oregon  Short  Line  Railway  Co.  6  per  cent,  bonds  is  now  guaranteed.  The  mortgage  provides 
for  a  sinking  fund  consisting  of  an  annual  payment  of  a  sum  of  money  equal  to  two-thirds  of  one  per  cent,  of  the 
aggregate  principal  of  the  bonds  secured  by  the  mortgage  and  certified  by  the  trustee,  but  only  so  far  as  the  net 
earnings  of  the  company  are  sufficient  after  payment  of  taxes  and  interest  on  all  bonds.  Consolidated  mortgage 
bonds  can  be  bought  as  an  investment  for  this  sinking  fund  at  a  price  not  over  105  and  interest,  but  bonds  cannot 
be  drawn  by  lot  for  payment. 

On  the  31st  of  December,  the  Oregon  Short  Line  &  Utah  Northern  Ry.  Co.  was  indebted  to  the  Union  Paci- 
fic Ry.  Co.  in  the  sum  of  $4,633.531.68.  Against  this,  it  had  pledged  with  that  company,  with  the  power  in  the 
Union  Pacific  to  rehypothecate  or  sell,  $1,988,000  in  Oregon  Short  Line  &  Utah  Northern  Ry.  Co.  consolidated 
5  per  cent,  bonds  ;  $411,000  in  Union  Pacific  Coal  Co.  first  mortgage  5  per  cent,  bonds,  and  $401,400  in  Union 
Pacific  Coal  Co.  stock.  The  Oregon  Short  Line  &  Utah  Northern  Ry.  Co.  has  also  pledged  with  the  Union  Paci- 
fic Ry.  Co.,  with  the  power  in  that  company  to  rehypothecate  or  sell,  $712,000  in  Oregon  Ry.  &  Navigation  Co. 
consolidated  mortgage  five  per  cent,  bonds,  and  $1,610,000  in  Oregon  Ry.  &  Navigation  Co.  collateral  trust  five 
per  cent,  bonds.  These  bonds  are  owned  by  the  Oregon  Ry.  &  Navigation  Co.,  which  company  is  in  turn 
indebted  to  the  Oregon  Short  Line  &  Utah  Northern  Ry.  Co.  for  moneys  advanced  in  the  construction  of  the 
Washington  and  Idaho  RR.,  the  road  of  the  Oregon  Ry.  Extensions  Co.,  and  for  additional  equipment  furnished 
for,  and  betterments  made  on,  the  lines  of  the  Oregon  Ry.  &  Navigation  Co. 

Owing  to  the  unfavorable  market  for  these  bonds,  it  has  been  deemed  best  to  make  no  settlement  of  the 
indebtedness  above  specified.  Accordingly  the  bonds  were  pledged  with  the  Union  Pacific  Ry.  Co.,  with  power 
in  that  company  to  rehypothecate  or  sell.  The  bonds  have  since,  pursuant  to  this  power  to  pledge  or  sell,  been 
deposited  with  the  trustees  under  the  trust  indenture  of  September  4,  1891.

consolidated  first' mortgage  bonds  as  such  interest  shall  from  lime  to  time  mature,  then  the  basis  for  dividing  the 
earnings  derived  from  traffic  joint  to  the  two  companies  shall  be  made  such  from  time  to  time  as  will  give  to  the 
Union  Pacific.  Denver  and  Gulf  Co.  sufficient  income  to  pay  its  interest ;  it  appropriating  and  using,  however,

1058  POOR'S  MANUAL — CANADA   ATLANTIC   RY.    CO. 

History. — The  authorized  line  of  this  road  carries  it  to  the  International  Boundary  line, 
beyond  Lacolle,  to  which  point  the  road  is  located,  with  an  extension  from  Ottawa  terminus' 
to  Chaudiere  Falls,  which  was  completed  last  year.  A  branch  from  Glen  Robertson  to 
Hawkesbury,  21  miles,  was  opened  in  January,  1892.  An  extension  from  Ottawa  to  Parry 
Sound,  about  150  miles,  is  projected.  The  line  is  operated  to  Rouse's  Point,  N.Y.,  by  use  of 
four  miles  of  the  Grand  Trunk  Ry. ;  and  from  Rouse's  Point  to  St.  Albans,  Vt.,  24  miles,  the 
Central  Vermont  RR.  is  used.  The  company  also  runs  over  the  Canadian  Pacific  Ry.  from 
Coteau  to  Montreal,  39  miles,  under  traffic  contract. 

The  following  is  from  the  report  of  the  Department  of  Railways  and  Canals  for  1891  : 

"  By  the  Acts  48-49  Vic.,  ch.  59  and  49  Vic.,  ch.  10,  the  Canada  Atlantic  Ry.  Co.  were  subsidized  to  the  ex- 
tent not  exceeding  $134,400  for  a  line  from  Clark's  Island,  in  the  St.  Lawrence,  opposite  Valleyfield,  through 
Lacolle  to  the  International  boundary,  about  50  miles  ;  also  from  the  present  Ottawa  terminus  to  the  Chaudiere 
Falls  ;  and  under  the  authority  of  Orders  in  Council,  dated  the  17th  of  September,  1885,  and  1st  of  July,  1886. 
contracts  have  been  made  with  the  company  for  the  work  in  question.  The  date  for  full  completion  was  extended 
by  an  Order  in  Council  of  the  irth  of  November,  1888,  to  the  1st  of  August,  1890.  Under  date  the  4th  of  Decem- 
ber, 1888,  the  company  applied  for  the  inspection  of  the  Chaudiere  section. 

"  Upon  due  inspection,  payments  were  made,  under  Orders  in  Council,  to  the  extent  of  $102,355.20  ;  the 
work  done  and  so  paid  for  comprising  the  whole  portion  between  Clark's  Island  and  Lacolle,  a  distance  of  43.18 
miles  ;  also  the  section,  3  miles,  between  the  terminus  at  Ottawa  and  the  Chaudiere  Falls,  on  the  River  Ottawa, 
leaving  a  balance  of  $32,041.80  to  cover  work  yet  remaining  to  be  done.  This  balance,  however,  lapsed  on  the  1st 
of  August,  1890. 

"  By  the  Act  50-51  Vic.,  ch.  24,  the  grant  of  a  subsidy  not  exceeding  $180,000  was  authorized  for  a  bridge 
across  the  River  St.  Lawrence  at  Coteau  Landing,  on  the  line  of  this  railway. 

"  The  Canada  Atlantic  Ry.  Co.  possess  powers  under  the  Acts  35  Vic.,  ch.  83,  and  42  Vic.,  ch.  57,  to  build 
this  bridge,  subject  to  the  approval  of  the  Governor  General  in  Council,  and  upon  Proclamation  in  the  Canada 
Gazette  showing  such  approval.  The  company  having  submitted  satisfactory  plans  of  the  proposed  work  and 
site,  these  were  approved  by  Orders  in  Council  of  the  23d  February,  1887,  and  26th  of  November,  1888  ;  and  a 
proclamation  was  published  in  the  Canada  Gazette  on  the  10th  of  December,  1888,  accordingly. 

"  An  agreement,  dated  the  5th  of  December,  1888,  was  entered  into  with  the  company  for  the  construction  of 
the  said  bridge,  a  low-level  structure  with  a  swing,  on  certain  conditions,  specifications  and  descriptions  approved 
by  an  Order  in  Council  of  the  12th  of  that  month,  with  a  view  to  their  obtaining  the  subsidy  authorized  by  the 
Act  50-51  Vic.,  ch.JJi,  above  mentioned. 

"  A  supplementary  agreement,  framed  in  the  interests  of  navigation  and  of  the  public,  for  the  operation  of 
the  swing  to  be  buity  in  this  bridge,  has  been  approved  by  Orders  in  Council  of  the  29th  of  December,  1888,  and 
9th  of  January,  1889,  and  will  be  neld  as  part  and  parcel  of  the  main  agreement  for  the  construction  of  the  bridge. 
It  requires  the  maintenance  of  a  signal  service  at  a  point  about  one  mile  above  the  bridge,  and  the  observance  of 
such  rules  and  regulations  as  are  considered  necessary  for  the  protection  of  traffic  down  the  navigable  channel  of 
the  river. 

"  The  main  features  of  the  bridge  are  as  follows  :  From  the  north  shore  to  Giroux  Island,  five  spans,  one  154 
feet  clear  opening  ;  two  swing  spans  each  160  feet  clear,  and  two  trasses  each  165  feet.  From  Giroux  Island  to 
Round  Island,  11  spans,  each  186£  feet  clear  opening.  From  Round  Island  to  Clark's  Island,  four  spans,  each  of 
213  feet  clear  opening,  all  the  above  being  the  width  of  the  openings  at  summer  water  level.  The  total  length  of  the 
bridging  to  be  executed,  including  the  spans,  is  about  4,100  feet.  The  superstructure  is  of  iron-rivetted  lattice 
work,  the  width  16  feet  clear  inside  the  end  posts,  and  the  minimum  height  32  feet,  the  rail  level  being  20  feet 
above  minimum  summer  water  level.  The  estimated  cost  of  the  superstructure,  including  the  swing,  is  $470,000. 


rranted  for 


During  the  fiscal  year  the  sum  of  $30,188  was  paid,  making  the  total  payment  of  $180,000,  the  full  amount 
this  bridge."

company,  such  as  the  right  of  constructing  branches  aloug  the  entire  length  of  line,  of  estab. 
lishing  steamship  lines  at  its  termini,  and  of  constructing  and  working  telegraph  lines.  The 
company  was  subsidized  by  the  Dominion  Government  to  the  extent  of  $25,000,000  in  money 
and  25,000,000  acres  of  land,  and  has  had  transferred  to  it  by  the  government,  free  of  cost, 
713  miles  of  railroad,  built  by  the  government  at  an  expense  of  about  $35,000,000.  Of  the 
main  line,  345  miles,  from  Montreal  to  Callander,  together  with  the  St.  Lin,  St.  Jerome,  St. 
Eustache,  Aylmer,  Brockville  and  Perth  Branches,  aggregating  98  miles,  in  all  443  miles, 
were  acquired  by  purchase. 

On  June  9,  1881,  the  Canadian  Pacific  Railway  acquired  all  the  rights  of  the  Canada 
Central  Railway,  extended  it  to  Callander,  and  incorporated  it  with  the  Canadian  Pacific  sys- 
tem. In  March,  1882,  the  western  section  of  the  Quebec,  Montreal,  Ottawa  and  Occidental 
Railway  from  Ottawa  to  Montreal  (120  miles  and  branches)  was  also  purchased.  The  line 
from  Callauder  to  Port  Arthur  was  completed  by  May,  1885.  The  whole  line  was  completed 
by  November  7, 1885,  but  was  not  opened  for  through  traffic  until  June  28,  1886.  The  exten- 
sion of  the  main  line  from  Port  Moody  to  Vancouver  (14  miles)  was  opened  for  traffic  on  May 
26,  1887,  and  that  of  the  Algoma  Branch  from  Algoma  Mills  to  Sault  Ste.  Marie  iu  January, 
1888.  During  the  year  1884  the  company  took  a  perpetual  lease  of  the  Ontario  and  Quebec 
Ry.,  its  extensions  and  its  leased  lines,  the  Credit  Valley,  the  Toronto,  Grey  and  Bruce,  and 
the  Atlantic  and  Northwest  Rys.  The  company  pays  5  per  cent,  on  $19,502,591  debenture 
stock  and  6  per  cent,  on  $2,000,000  common  stock  of  the  Ontario  and  Quebec,  and  a  rental 
for  the  Toronto,  Grey  and  Bruce  Ry.  of  $140,000  per  annum.  On  September  20,  1885,  the 
company  acquired  control  of  the  North  Shore  Ry.,  from  St.  Martin's  Junction  to  Quebec,  and 
branches,  159.1  miles,  at  an  annual  cost  of  about  $200,000.  The  company  has  also  acquired 
by  lease  the  Manitoba  Southwestern  Colonization  Ry.,  and  the  St.  Lawrence  and  Ottawa  Ry. 

In  the  session  of  1884  the  Dominion  Parliament  authorized  a  loan  to  this  company  of 
$29,880,912,  due  May  1,  1891,  with  interest  at  5  per  cent,  per  annum,  the  money  to  be  paid 
to  the  company  as  the  work  of  construction  proceeded,  the  company  on  its  part  agreeing,  in 
consideration  of  such  loan,  to  proceed  with  the  work  of  construction  and  complete  it  by  the 
end  of  May,  1886.  To  secure  repayment  of  this  loan  a  lieu  was  created  upon  the  entire  prop- 
erty of  the  company,  including  the  land  grant,  subject,  however,  to  the  outstanding  laud 
grant  bonds  and  to  existing  mortgages  on  the  line  from  Callander  to  Montreal.  The  govern- 
ment was  to  hold  the  balance  of  the  company's  unissued  stock,  $35,000,000  ;  but  by  legislation 
in  1885  this  lien  was  removed,  the  company  being  authorized  to  issue  $35,000,000  5  per  cent, 
bonds  in  lieu  of  the  $35,000,000  stock  held  by  the  government,  which  has  been  cancelled. 
The  government  accepted  $20,000,000  of  these  bonds  as  security  for  a  like  amount  of  the 
loan  ;  and  for  the  balance  of  the  loan,  $9,880,912,  held  a  lien,  subject  to  the  outstanding 

*  The  receipts  and  expenses  of  these  lines  are  not  included  in  the  accounts  of  the  Canadian  Pacific,  nor  is  the 
company  subject  to  any  rent  charge  in  respect  of  them.

land  grant  bonds,  on  the  unsold  lands  of  the  company.  On  March  30,  18S5,  a  new  agreement 
was  made  with  the  government,  under  which  the  company  repaid  all  its  obligations  to  the 
government,  paying  in  cash  the  $20,000,000  secured  by  the  5  per  cent,  bonds  held  by  gov- 
ernment, and  the  balance,  £9.880,912,  in  lands  at  the  rate  $1.50  per  acre. 

In  1884  the  Government  of  British  Columbia  granted,  in  consideration  of  extension  of 
main  line;  about  9  square  miles  of  laud,  upon  which  a  city  has  been  laid  out  and  named  Van- 
couver. Arrangements  have  been  made  with  the  Pacific  Coast  SS.  Co.  for  a  connection 
between  Pacific  terminus  and  San  Francisco.  Early  in  1887  a  steamship  line  was  opened 
between  Port  Moody  and  China  and  Japan,  the  first  steamer  leaving  Yokohama,  April  20, 
1887.  During  the  past  year  a  contract  to  run  monthly  mail  steamers  between  Vancouver 
and  China  and  Japan  was  entered  into  by  this  company,  the  British  and  Dominion  Govern- 
ments combining  to  give  the  company  therefor  a  subsidy  for  ten  years  of  £60,000  per  annum. 
In  June,  1890,  this  company  obtained  control  of  the  Duluth,  South  Shore  and  Atlantic,  and 
Minneapolis,  St.  Paul  and  Sault  Ste.  Marie  RR.  Cos.,  and  agreed  to  guarantee  the  principal 
and  interest  of  $20,000,000  4  per  cent,  bonds  to  be  issued  by  the  former  company  ;  also  4  per 
cent,  interest  on  the  bonds  of  the  latter.

The  first  mortgage  debentures  are  in  denominations  of  £100,  £500,  and  £1,000,  and  are 
coupon  with  privilege  of  registration,  principal  and  interest  being  payable  at  office  of  Baring 
Bros.,  London,  principal  July  1,  1915,  and  interest  semi-annually,  January  and  July.  The 
$850,000  5  per  cent.  Canada  Central  1st  mortgage  bonds  (for  redemption  of  which,  and  pay- 
ment of  interest,  a  sinking  fund  of  $1.500,000  has  been  deposited  with  the  government),  are 
due  September  1,  1899  ;  the  2d  mortgage  bonds,  November  1,  1910.  The  mortgages  to  the 
Government  of  Quebec  are  payable  March  4,  1902-1904,  interest  5  per  cent,  semi-annually. 
These  mortgages  apply  only  to  the  purchased  lines  they  cover — the  Canada  Central,  the  Xorth 
Shore,  and  the  Q.,  M.,  0.  &  0. — and  are  not  a  charge  on  the  Canadian  Pacific  Ry.  proper. 

Land  Grant  Bonds. — The  company  executed  a  mortgage  and  issued  bonds  for  $25,000,- 
000  on  their  entire  land  grant  of  25,000,000  acres.  Of  these  bonds  the  government  accepted, 
in  1881,  $5,000,000  as  security  for  the  maintenance  and  continuous  working  of  the  railway 
for  ten  years  after  completion,  but  under  the  agreement  of  March  30.  1886,  $4,000,000  of 


1064  POOR'S   MANUAL — CANADIAN   PACIFIC   RY.    CO. 

these  bonds  were  returned,  and  on  the  bonds  returned,  the  government  will  not  require  pay- 
ment of  interest  so  long  as  no  default  occurs.  Authority  to  cancel  the  said  $4,000,000  bonds 
was  given  under  the  agreement  of  April  18,  1888.  A  further  $8,996,000  of  the  bonds  were 
deposited  with  the  government  as  security  without  interest  under  the  Loan  Act,  1884,  but 
were  cancelled  under  the  later  agreement  of  March  30,  1886.  Altogether  $20.574,000  of  the 
bonds  have  been  redeemed  and  cancelled.  Of  the  $4,426,000  bonds  of  this  issue  still  alive, 
the  government  holds  $1,000,000  in  trust,  not  bearing  interest,  which  leaves  $3,426,000  out- 
standing as  above.  The  principal  is  redeemable  at  Montreal,  on  October  1,  1931,  unless 
previously  tendered  in  payment  of  lands  at  110  per  cent,  and  accrued  interest,  or  redeemed 
out  of  the  proceeds  of  land  sales,  either  by  purchase  or  by  drawings  at  10  per  cent,  premium. 
(See  also  statement  of  ,,Land  Grant,  on  page  1066.) 

Sterling  Perpetual  4per  cent.  Consolidated  Debenture  Stock. — In  November,  1889.  Baring 
Bros.  &  Co.,  Limited,  London,  England,  invited  applications  for  £903,375  stock,  at  the  price 
of  90  per  cent.,  issued  under  the  powers  conferred  by  the  Canadian  Pacific  Ry.  Act.  1889  ; 
and  in  July,  1890,  a  further  amount  of  £1,000,000  was  offered  by  the  company  for  public 
subscription,  at  97^  per  cent.  Interest  (running  in  the  latter  case  from  July  1,  1890)  is  paya- 
ble at  the  company's  London  office,  on  January  1  and  July  1.  The  proceeds  of  £835,312  10s. 
of  the  1889  issue  were  to  be  applied  to  take  up  $3,240,000  5  per  cent,  preferred  stock  issued 
by  the  Atlantic  and  Northwest  Ry.  Co.  ;  to  complete  the  construction  and  equipment  of  its 
railway,  on  which  the  interest  is  guaranteed  by  this  company,  and  the  balance  to  complete 
the  Mission  Branch  to  a  connection  at  the  international  boundary  with  the  Seattle,  Lake 
Shore  and  Eastern  RR.  Of  the  £1,000,000  offered  in  1890,  £720,000  was  in  respect  of  three 
steamships  being  built  for  the  company's  service  to  China  and  Japan,  and  the  balance,  £280,- 

000,  for  rolling  stock,   betterments,  etc.  (Act  1889).     During  1891  the  amount  outstanding 
was   increased   to    $19,770,492.65.     By  Act  of   Parliament  the  company  has  recently  been 
authorized  to  issue  this  stock  in  exchange  for  bonds  or  stocks  bearing  an  equal  or  greater 
rate  of  interest,  and  which  have  already  been  guaranteed  by  the  company.     The  company 
proposes  to  issue  an  additional  £8,000,000  of  this  stock  during  1892.   ^The  Souris  Branch 
bonds  and  Kootenai  Branch  bonds,  issued  early  in  1891,  were  subsequently  retired  by  exchange 
for  an  equal  amount  of  this  stock.     The  stock  will  be  registered  and  transferred  at  the 
London  office. 

Algoma  Branch  Five  per  cent.  First  Mortgage  Bonds. — Secured  by  first  mortgage  on  the 
Algoma  branch,  which  extends  from  Sudbury,  on  the  company's  main  line,  to  the  bridge 
over  the  River  Ste.  Marie,  and  was  opened  for  traffic  on  January  2,  1888.  There  are  250 
bonds  of  £1,000  (numbers  1  to  250),  400  of  £500  (numbers  251  to  650),  and  3,000  of  £100 
(numbers  651  to  3,650),  all  bearing  interest  at  the  rate  of  5  per  cent,  per  annum  from  January 

1,  1888,  payable  at  Baring  Bros.  &  Co.,  Limited,  on  January  1  and  July  1,  where  the  principal 
is  also  redeemable  on  July  1,  1937.     The  bonds  may  be  exchanged  for  registered  certificates 
at  the  same  place.     Sir  Charles  Tupper  and  Lord  Revelstoke  are  the  trustees  for  the  bond- 
holders. 

Three-and-a-half  per  cent.  Fifty-year  Land  Grant  Bonds  or  Inscribed  Stock.—  By  an 
agreement  dated  April  18,  1888,  and  subsequently  ratified,  this  company  was  authorized  to 
issue  $15,000,000  fifty-year  three-and-a-half  per  cent,  land-grant  bonds  secured  by  a  mort- 
gage on  its  unsold  lands,  consisting  of  14,934,230  acres,  free  from  all  liabilities,  except  about 
$2,300,000  in  respect  of  old  land-grant  bonds.  The  interest  is  guaranteed  by  the  Dominion 
Government,  and  the  net  proceeds  of  the  sales  of  land  are  to  be  deposited  with  the  Govern- 
ment to  constitute  a  sinking  fund  for  the  said  bonds,  and  to  bear  interest  at  3£  per  cent,  per 
annum,  to  be  applied  toward  satisfying  the  interest  on  the  bonds  ;  and  when  the  money  thus 
deposited  with  the  Government,  whether  from  land  sales  or  other  sources,  is  sufficient  to 
redeem  the  principal  of  the  outstanding  bonds  the  mortgage  on  the  land  is  to  be  discharged, 
and  the  Government  will  assume  and  pay  all  the  future  interest  as  well  as  the  principal,  the 
company  being  freed  from  any  liability  in  respect  thereof,  the  bonds  thus  becoming  the 
direct  obligation  of  the  Dominion  Government.  The  inscribed  stock  amounts  to  £163,800, 
and  will  be  transferable  in  anv  amount  divisible  by  £10.  There  are  800  A  bonds  of  £1,000 


POOR'S   MANUAL — CANADIAN   PACIFIC   RY.    CO.  1065 

(numbers  1  to  800),  2,000  B  bonds  of  £500  (numbers  1,001  to  3,000),  and  11,299  C  bonds  of 
£100  (numbers  5,001  to  16,299).  Bonds  to  bearer  may  at  any  time  be  converted  into  regis- 
tered stock  at  a  fee  of  one-eighth  per  cent.,  but  registered  stock  cannot  be  converted  into 
bonds  to  bearer.  Interest  accrues  from  July  1,  1888,  payable  semi-annually  on  January  1 
and  July  1,  and  the  principal  will  become  due  on  July  1,  1938. 

Common  Stock. — The  original  share  capital  was  $5,OUO,000,  issued  at  par,  which  was 
increased  to  $25,000,000  at  the  first  annual  meeting,  held  in  Montreal  on  May  10,  1882,  the 
$'30.000,000  new  stock  being  sold  to  shareholders,  at  the  rate  of  25  cents  per  dollar.  At  a 
special  general  meeting  held  on  Nov.  28,  1882,  the  capital  was  further  increased  by  $75,000,- 
000 — $40,000,000  of  which  were  sold  at  an  average  price  of  52  per  cent.  By  an  Act  of  1885 
the  balance  of  $35,000,000  common  stock,  which  had  been  deposited  with  the  Canadian 
Government,  was  cancelled,  and  the  common  stock  thus  reduced  to  $65,000,000.  All  certifi- 
cates of  stock  now  issued  are  stamped  so  as  to  show  this  reduction.  On  November  10,  1883, 
a  contract  was  executed  between  the  company,  the  Canadian  Government,  and  the  Bank  of 
Montreal,  under  which  the  Government,  in  consideration  of  securities  and  cash  deposited 
with  it,  bound  itself  to  pay  into  the  bank,  as  trustee  for  the  shareholders,  on  February  17 
and  August  17  in  each  year,  until  August  17,  1893,  inclusive,  a  sum  of  money  sufficient  to 
pay  a  semi-annual  dividend  of  one  and  one-half  per  cent,  on  the  entire  outstanding  capital 
stock  of  the  company.  Out  of  this  sum,  by  the  same  contract,  the  Bank  of  Montreal  cove 
nants  with  the  railway  company  to  pay  the  stockholders  half  yearly  dividends  at  the  above 
rate.  This  arrangement  was  confirmed  by  an  Act  passed  in  1884.  During  the  construction 
of  the  railway,  the  railway  company  arranged  to  make  up  the  guaranteed  dividend  to  5  per 
cent,  per  annum  by  the  payment  of  an  additional  one  per  cent,  semi-annually.  After  con- 
struction, any  dividends  declared  would  be  in  addition  to  the  guaranteed  dividends  of  3  per 
cent,  per  annum.  In  August,  1885,  and  subsequent  half-years,  only  the  3 "per  cent,  dividend 
guaranteed  by  the  Canadian  Government  was  paid,  it  not  being  deemed  "expedient  to  pay 
any  further  supplementary  dividends  out  of  capital  during  the  short  period  which  will  be 
occupied  in  completing  construction  ; "  but  in  December,  1889,  it  was  decided  that  a  sup- 
plementary dividend  of  1  per  cent,  should  be  paid  February  17,  1890,  and  each  subsequent 
half-year,  earnings  permitting,  until  the  expiry  of  the  Government  guarantee  in  1893.  The 
interest  on  the  shares  on  the  London  register  is  payable  in  London,  at  the  fixed  rate,  4s.  \\d, 
per  dollar. 

In  1888  an  agreement  was  executed  between  the  Canadian  Pacific  Ry.  Co.  and  the 
Dominion  Government,  which  provides  for  the  termination  of  the  restrictions  upon  the  Do  - 
minion  Parliament  imposed  by  clause  15  of  the  original  contract  between  the  Government 
and  the  company,  respecting  charters  for  railways  extending  to  the  international  boundary. 
For  the  chief  points  of  the  agreement  see  MANUAL  for  1888,  page  965. 

Canadian  Pacific  Railway  Act,  1889. — 1.  Under  this  act  the  company,  being  first  author- 
ized so  to  do  by  a  special  general  meeting,  may  from  time  to  time  issue  Consolidated  Deben- 
ture Stock,  in  Canadian  currency  or  sterling,  at  a  rate  not  exceeding  4  per  cent,  per  annum, 
which  stock  shall,  subject  to  the  prior  charges  existing  at  the  time  of  issue,  become  a  first 
charge  upon  the  whole  undertaking.  2.  The  amount  of  this  stock  which  may  be  so  issued 
shall  be  composed  of  (a}  amounts  issued  to  satisfy  the  existing  obligations  ;  further  amounts 
(&)  for  general  purposes,  the  annual  interest  upon  which,  in  addition  to  the  annual  upon  the 
Consolidated  Debenture  Stock  issued  under  the  next  preceding  paragraph,  together  with  the 
annual  interest,  dividends  and  rentals,  as  the  case  may  be,  payable  in  respect  of  so  much  of 
the  said  existing  obligations  as  are  still  outstanding,  shall  never  exceed  the  annual  charges 
set  out  in  the  schedules  to  the  act  (see  below),  namely,  $4,365,029  ;  (c)  for  the  improvement 
of  the  railways  held  by  the  company  either  as  owner  or  lessee,  not  exceeding  in  the  aggregate 
L.  S.  500  per  mi]e  ;  (d)  not  exceeding  $830,000  for  the  completion  of  a  branch  line  of  11 
miles  from  Mission,  in  British  Columbia.  3.  So  long  as  any  of  the  obligations  set  out  in  the 
schedules  to  the  act  is  not  satisfied,  or  the  stock  or  other  security  in  respect  of  which  such 
obligation  exists  is  not  acquired,  the  portion  of  such  obligation,  if  any,  which  has  been  satis- 
fied and  the  portion  of  such  stock  or  other  security  which  has  been  acquired,  shall  be  held

by  the  company  as  still  subsisting  and  continuing  as  a  security  pro  tanto  for  the  benefit  of 
the  holders  of  the  said  Consolidated  Debenture  Stock,  in  the  same  way  in  all  respects  as  if 
the  portion  so  satisfied  or  acquired  had  been  duly  transferred  to  and  was  held  by  trustees  for 
the  benefit  of  the  holders  of  the  said  Consolidated  Debenture  Stock.  4.  The  amount  to  be 
issued  in  respect  of  the  Atlantic  and  Northwest  first  mortgage  bonds  shall  be  governed  by 
the  annual  charge  thereon  specified  in  Schedule  A,  until  the  subsidy  in  respect  of  that  railway 
specified  in  schedule  B  shall  cease  to  be  paid,  after  which  time  the  company  may  make  a 
further  issue  of  debenture  stock  in  respect  of  those  bonds,  on  which  further  issue  the  interest 
shall  not  exceed  $186,600  per  annum  ;  and  no  debenture  stock  shall  be  issued  under  this  act 
in  respect  of  the  North  Shore  Railway  bonds  mentioned  in  schedule  B  until  the  liability  of 
the  company  to  pay  interest  thereon  shall  have  become  positive.  5.  The  act  does  not  apply 
to  any  of  the  lands  to  which  the  company  is  or  may  become  entitled  by  way  of  subsidy,  or  to 
any  incumbrance  thereon.

EXTRACTS  FROM  THE  COMPANY'S  REPORT  FOR  1891. 

"  During  the  past  year  the  Souris  Branch  was  extended  82.T3jy  miles  to  Oxbow,  and  the  Glenboro  section  of 
the  Souris  Branch  was  extended  to  Nesbitt,  6  in: 

"  The  completion  of  the  main  line  of  the  Souris  Branch  to  the  coal-fields  of  Southern  Assiniboia  (40  miles), 
on  which  the  grading  is  well  advanced  ;  the  completion  of  a  connection  between  the  Southwestern  Branch  at 
Deloraine  and  the  Souris  Branch  at  Napinka,  17.T9ff  miles  ;  a  section  of  IS. -&  miles  connecting  the  Glenboro 
Branch  at  Nesbitt  with  the  Souris  Branch  at  Souris,  and  a  branch  of  30  miles  westward  from  the  Souris  Branch  at 
Menteith  to  the  well  settled  Pipestone  district,  are  contemplated  for  the  present  year. 

"Towards  the  construction  of  these  lines  the  Province  of  Manitoba  will  give  assistance  to  the  extent  of 
SI, 750  per  mile,  and  to  all.  except  the  Pipeetone  Branch,  a  erant  from  the  Dominion  Government  of  6,400  acres  of 
land  per  mile  attaches  ;  and  a  similar  grant  is  expected  forlhe  Pipestone  Branch. 

"It  i*  also  the  intention  of  your  directors  to  commence  the  grading  of  a  line  from  the  Southern  Assiniboia 
coal-fields  to  a  connection  with  your  main  line  at  Regina  or  Moose  Jaw,  and  another  line  from  a  point  near  Fort 
MacLeod  towards  the  Crow's  Nest  Pass.  The  first  named  line  will  open  up  for  settlement  one  of  the  best  sec- 
tions of  the  company's  land  grant,  and  will,  with  the  extension  of  the  Minneapolis,  St.  P;iul  and  Sault  Ste.  Marie 
Ry.  now  being  made,  afford  a  direct  and  necessary'conneetion,  under  your  company's  control,  between  the  west 
and  Minneapolis  and  St.  Paul.  The  other  line  i»  intended  to  protect  the  company's  interests  in  Southern  British 
Columbia,  including  the  Kootenay  district,  which  is  now  assuming  great  impoitance  owing  to  its  remarkable 
mineral  developments. 

"The  Calirary  and  Edmonton  Ry.  has  been  completed  and  is  now  in  operation  from  Calgary  to  Edmonton, 
a  distance  of  192  miles;  on  the  portion  of  the  line  south  of  Calgary  the  rails  have  been  laid  to  High  River,  a 
distance  of  about  40  miles,  and  the  grading  has  been  completed  to  a  point  near  Fort  McLeod.  110  miles  from  Cal- 
gary. This  line  is  leased  to  your  company  for  six  years  without  rental,  and  your  company  has  an  option  to  pur- 
chase it  at  the  end  of  that  "time.  The  negotiations  referred  to  at  the  last  annual  meeting  looking  to  its  earlier 
acquisition  were  discontinued  because  of  the  inability  of  the  Calgary  and  Edmonton  Company  to  fully  comply 
with  the  terms  named  by  your  directors. 

"The  purchase  of  the  Temiscamingue  Ry.  which  was  referred  to  in  the  last  annual  report  was  approved  at 
an  adjourned  meeting  of  the  shareholders  held  on  the  24th  August  last,  and  this  line  should  be  completed  either 
this  year  or  next  as  may  be  found  expedient  and  convenient. 

"  The  Montreal  and  Ottawa  Ry.,  extending  from  Vaudreuil  to  Point  Fortune  on  the  west  side  of  the  Ottawa 
River,  an  important  local  line,  and  one  which  threatened  your  company's  interests,  has  been  secured  on  favorable 
terms. 

"  Your  directors  have  agreed  to  lease  the  Tobique  Valley  Ry.  and  to  pay  as  rental  therefore  40  per  cent,  of 
it  earnings.  The  line  starts  from  Perth  Centre  on  the  line  of  the~Ne\v  Brunswick  Ry..  and  runs  along  the  Tobique 
River  to  Plaster  Rock,  where  extensive  mineral  deposits  exist.  The  length  of  the  line  will  be  about  28  miles,  of 
which  fourteen  miles  have  been  completed.  The  agreement  will  be  submitted  for  your  approval. 

"The  arbitration  between  the  Dominion  Government  and  the  company  respecting  the  section  of  the  railway 
built  by  the  Government  in  British  Columbia  resulted  in  an  award  to  the  company  of  $579.255—5202,675  being 
for  defects  already  cured  by  the  company,  and  $376.580  for  defects  yet  to  be  made  good.  While  this  result  was 
unsatisfactory  your  directors  thought  it  wise  to  accept  it  and  end  the  controversy. 

"Another  "long  standing  dispute  with  the  Government  has  been  settled  by  the  cancellation  of  §1,108,626  of 
the  bonds  of  the  North  Shore  Ry..  held  by  the  Government,  which  constituted"  a  contingent  obligation  upon  the 
company's  Quebec  line  and 'seriously  interferred  with  the  freedom  of  its  use. 

"  By  the  Loan  Acts  of  1884-5  a  needless  and  unusual  restriction  was  imposed  upon  the  company  preventing 
the  increase  of  its  ordinary  share  capital  for  any  purpose  ;  and  in  order  that  your  company  might  have  the  same 
freedom  in  this  regard  as  is  enjoyed  by  other  Ry.  companies  your  directors  applied  to  Parliament  at  its  present 
session  for  the  passage  of  an  Act  removing  this  restriction.  This  Act  has  become  law,  and  the  shareholders  will 
hereafter  be  free  to  determine  for  themselves,  as  occasion  may  require,  whether  the  future  capital  requirements 
of  the  company  shall  te  provided  for  by  the  issue  of  ordinary  shares,  or  by  increasing  its  mandatory  obligations. 

"  The  same  Act  gives  the  company  authority  to  issue  four  per  cent.  Consolidated  Debenture  Stock  in  place 
of  bonds  or  shares  bearing  an  equal  or  greater  rate  of  interest,  and  which  have  already  been  <ruarnnteed  by  the 
company  ;  this  power  having  been  sought  both  for  the  purpose  of  saving  interest  and  simplifying  the  finances  of 
the  company  by  consolidating  its  obligations.

of  the  remaining  portion  of  the  line  for  which  the  subsidy  was  granted.  In  November,  1887,  35  miles  of  the  rail- 
way—from the  south  end  of  the  Lachine  Bridge  over  the  St.  Lawrence,  the  western  terminus,  to  Farnham— had

CENTRAL   RAILWAY   OF   NEW   BRUNSWICK. 

Line  of  Road.— Norton  Station  (I.  Ry.),  N.  B.,  to  Chipman,  N.  B 44.75  miles. 

Southern  Division  ;  Hampton,  N.  B.,  to  Quaco,  N.  B 30.00  miles. 

Sidings,  2.25  miles.  Gauge,  4  ft.  8£  in.  Rail  (steel),  54  and  56  Ibs.  per  yard. 

History.— Road  opened  from  Norton  to  Chipman,  in  1888.  A  line  is  being  located  from 
Grand  Lake  to  Fredericton,  N.  B.,  about  40  miles.  This  company  has  acquired  by  purchase, 
the  St.  Martin's  and  Upham  Ry.,  extending  from  Quaco,  or  St.  Martin's,  N.  B.,  to  Hampton, 
on  the  Intercolonial  Ry.,  30  miles,  which  is  now  operated  as  its  Southern  Division. 

The  following  is  from  the  report  of  the  Dominion  Department  of  Railways  and  Canals  : 

"  By  the  Act  of  1884,  47  Vic.,  chap.  8.  a  subsidy  not  exceeding  $128,000  was  granted  in  aid  of  the  construction 
of  about  40  miles  of  the  Central  Railway,  from  the  head  of  Grand  Lake  to  a  point  on  the  Intercolonial  Railway 
between  Sussex  and  St.  John,  N.  B. 

"  Under  the  authority  of  an  Order  in  Council  of  the  5th  of  June,  1886,  a  contract  was  made  with  the  Central 
Railway  Company,  on  the  7th  July,  188*>,  for  a  line  from-Salmon  River,  at  the  head  of  Grand  Lake,  to  Norton,  on 
the  Intercolonial  Railway,  the  work  to  be  completed  by  the  1st  of  July,  1888.  Certain  work  had  been  executed, 
but  the  contract  obligations  had  not  been  carried  out,  and  no  portion  of  the  sub8idy  was  paid.  The  subsidy  lapsed, 
but  was  revived  by  the  Subsidy  Act  52  Vic.,  ch.  3  (1889).  In  November,  1889,  the  company  applied  for  inspection 
of  the  road  as  a  completed  work,  but  no  portion  of  the  subsidy  was  paid. 

'•  On  the  1st  of  December,  1890,  a  new  contract,  was  made  with  the  company  for  this  work  under  the  Subsidy 
Act  of  1889,  the  limit  of  subsidy  being  $128,000  ;  this  contract  covering  also  a  subsidy  for  44  miles,  the  limit  of 
which  was  $14,400,  authorized  by  the  Act  53  Vic.,  ch.  2,  making  a  total  subsidy  of  $142,400  ;  the  total  length  of 
road  subsidized  being  44i  miles.  The  date  for  completion  was  fixed  as  the  1st  of  December,  1891.  During  the 
past  fiscal  year  there  was  paid  the  sum  of  $75,639  ;  no  further  payments  have  been  made  up  to  the  31st  or  De- 
cember, 1891. 

"  By  the  Act  51  Vic.,  ch.  3,  a  grant  as  a  subsidy  to  this  company  was  authorized  of  certain  used  iron  rails  to 
the  value  of  $83,012.54,  loaned  to  the  St.  Martin's  and  Upham  Railway  Company  (which  railway  has  been  acquired 
by  the  Central  Railway  Company  ;  the  sale  being  approved  by  an  Order  in  Council  of  the  15th  of  November, 
1837),  the  condition  of  the  grant  being  that  such  rails  should  first  be  replaced  by  new  steel  rails.  The  new  steel 
rails  were  substituted,  and  an  Order  in  Council  of  the  18th  of  October,  1889,  authorized  the  transfer  of  the  old  rails 
to.the  company.

POOR'S  MANUAL — GRAND  TRUNK  RY.  CO.  OF  CANADA.        1079 

Ry.  Co.  were  consolidated  under  the  name  of  the  former,  the  capital  stock  of  the  united 
company  consisting  of  two  classes  :  the  Grand  Trunk  capital  and  the  Great  Western  capital. 
Under  power  granted  hy  Act  of  Parliament,  entitled  "  The  Grand  Trunk  Railway  Act,  1884," 
and  which  came  into  operation  July  1,  1884,  the  Great  Western  capital  has  been  converted 
into  4  percent,  guaranteed  stock,  and  ordinary  stock  has  been  issued  in  extinction  of  the  con- 
tingent rights  of  the  Great  Western  capital,  and  of  the  first,  second,  and  third  preference 
stocks.  (See  MANUAL  for  1884.)  For  historical  sketches  of  progress  of  Grand  Trunk  Rail- 
way, see  MANUAL  for  1888,  page  973. 

By  deed  of  union,  January  24,  1888,  the  Northern  of  Canada  and  its  leased  line,  the 
Hamilton  and  Northwestern,  became  amalgamated  with  the  Grand  Trunk  Ry.  Co.,  under  tb.9 
name  of  the  Grand  Trunk  Ry.  Co.  of  Canada,  upon  the  following  terms  :  The  borrowed  cap- 
ital of  the  three  companies  to  be  the  borrowed  capital  of  the  united  company  ;  the  preference 
shares  of  the  Northern  and  Northwestern  to  be  entitled  to  a  dividend  at  a  rate  equal  to  the 
rate  of  dividend  paid  upon  the  Grand  Trunk  first  preference  stock  up  to  but  not  exceeding  3 
per  cent,  per  annum  and  a  further  dividend  at  a  rate  equal  to  the  rate  of  dividend  paid  upon 
the  Grand  Trunk  second  preference  stock  up  to  but  not  exceeding  3  per  cent,  per  annum, 
and  the  ordinary  stock  of  the  three  companies  to  be  the  ordinary  stock  of  the  united  com- 
pany. Under  powers  of  "The  Grand  Trunk  Ry.  Act.  1888,"  the  preference  stocks  of  the 
Northern  and  Hamilton  and  Northwestern  Companies  have  been  converted  into  the  Grand 
Trunk  first  and  second  preference  stocks,  receiving  62  per  cent,  of  each  description  of  stock. 

In  1890  an  agreement  was  entered  into  for  the  operation  by  this  company  of  the  Cincin- 
nati. Saginaw  and  Mackinaw  RR.  (see  708)  from  November  1,  1890,  to  January  1,  1920,  for

On  January  1,  1889,  the  company  made  an  issue  of  £780,000  1st  mortgage  5  per  cent. 
20-year  £100  bonds,  due  January  1,  1909,  interest  payable  January  and  July,  in  London,  by 
Glyn,  Mills,  Currie  &  Co.,  first  coupon  being  payable  July  1,  1889. 

These  bonds,  which  amount  to  about  £4,100  per  mile,  are  secured  by  a  first  mortgage  on 
the  main  line  of  the  railway,  190  miles  in  length,  the  plant,  rolling  stock,  and  material  used 
for  the  working  thereof,  the  buildings,  stations,  and  station  grounds,  and  upon  all  the  lands, 
property,  and  material  appertaining  to  the  working  and  running  of  the  main  line  of  railway. 
By  the  deed  of  trust  the  company  covenants  that  no  further  charge  of  any  kind  shall  be 
created  over  the  property  mortgaged,  except  in  subordination  to  the  bonds  of  this  issue. 

Under  the  authority  of  Acts  of  the  Quebec  Legislature,  the  Government  of  that  Province 
has  undertaken  and  guaranteed  the  payment  of  the  interest  on  the  bonds  for  the  term  of  ten 
years  from  January  1,  1889,  to  January  1,  1899,  such  payment  being  assumed  by  the  Govern- 
ment, irrespective  of  the  earnings  of  the  line. 

Under  the  arrangement  with  the  Government,  the  net  earnings  of  the  road  will  not  be 
required  to  meet  the  interest  charges  for  the  next  ten  years,  and,  as  an  additional  security, 
the  company  has  covenanted  with  the  trustees  for  the  bondholders  to  pay  over  to  them  dur- 
ing that  period  the  whole  of  the  net  earnings  of  the  line  until  a  sufficient  amount  has  been 
accumulated  in  their  hands,  to  provide  for  the  interest  for  a  further  period  of  five  years  after 
the  time,  during  which  it  will  be  paid  by  the  Provincial  Government. 

There  have  been  £200,000  reserved  out  of  the  proceeds  of  the  bonds  for  the  completion 
of  the  road,  and  this  money  is  deposited  with  Glyn,  Mills,  Currie  &  Co.,  and  is  being  ex- 
pended under  the  terms  of  the  trust  deed,  for  additional  equipment  and  ballasting,  in  build- 
ing an  independent  line  into  the  city  of  Quebec,  upon  terminal  property,  and  a  deep  water 
terminus  for  ocean  steamers  on  the  Louise  Docks  in  that  city.  The  bonds  are  now  quoted  on 
the  London  Stock  Exchange.

History. — Incorporated  in  Massachusetts  February  25,  1880,  and  in  the  same  year  pur- 
chased of  the  Guanajuato  Ry.  Co.  60  kilometres  of  narrow-gauge  railway,  which  was  widened 
and  incorporated  into  the  main  line.  The  entire  main  line  was  completed  March  8,  1884,  and 
opened  April  10,  1884.  For  progress  of  construction  of  other  lines,  see  previous  numbers  of 
MANUAL.  The  construction  of  1891  was  confined  to  the  completion  of  the  Pachuca  Division,. 
43.60  miles. 

"  This  line  is  built,"  says  the  company's  report,  "  under  a  concession  granted  by  the  Mexican  government,, 
dated  December  20, 1889,  which  gives  to  the  company  the  right  to  build  from  Tula  through  Pachuca  to  Tampico, 
or  to  a  connection  with  our  present  Tampico  Division. 

"  On  the  line  beyond  Pachuca  the  company  is  to  receive  $8,000  per  kilometer  in  five  per  cent,  bonds  of  the 
Mexican  government,  as  a  subvention. 

"  Pachuca  is  one  of  the  largest  mining  centres  in  the  Republic,  and  it  is  expected  that  the  traffic  in  ores, 
coal,  coke,  salt,  timber  and  general  merchandise  will  be  of  great  value  to  the  company,  and  from  which  we  should 
obtain  considerable  revenue.1' 

The  Tampico  Harbor  Co.  (owned  by  this  company)  has  been  organized  for  the  pur- 
pose of  canalizing,  by  jetties,  the  harbor  of  Tampico,  for  the  aid  of  which  purpose  a  con- 
cession has  been  granted  by  the  Mexican  Government.  Work  was  commenced  March  13, 
1890,  and  it  is  expected  to  have  the  entire  undertaking  completed  by  July,  1892. 

Subsidies. — The  company  acquired  a  subsidy  of  about  $15,200  per  mile  ($9:500  per 
kilometre)  covering  the  main  line,  the  Tampico  and  the  Guadalajara  Divisions,  the  subsidy 
being  payable  from  custom-house  receipts,  and  the  company  having  the  right  to  import  free 
of  duty  all  material  required  for  construction,  maintenance,  and  operation  of  its  lines  for  fif- 
teen years,  and  being  exempted  from  taxes  till  the  expiration  of  forty-five  years  after  com- 
pletion  of  all  the  lines  ;  also  the  right  to  construct  and  opeiate  its  railway  and  telegraph  lines 
for  99  years.  It  also  has  small  additional  subsidies  from  the  State  governments  of  San  Luis 
Potosi  and  Guanajuato.  The  Government  of  Mexico,  on  June  1,  1885,  suspended  the  pay- 
ment of  its  subsidy. 

On  June  30,  1886,  an  amendment  was  made  to  the  company's  concession  by  agreement 
with  the  Executive,  under  the  authority  of  the  Act  of  the  Mexican  Congress  of  December  12, 
1885.  By  the  terms  of  this  amendment  the  subsidy  certificates  were  to  be  amortized  with  the 
following  percentages  of  the  revenue  receipts  at  the  several  custom-houses,  namely:  July  1, 
%1886,  to  January  1,  1887,  0.75  per  cent.  ;  January  1,  1887,  to  July  1,  1887,  1  per  cent.;  July 
1,  1887,  to  January  1,  1888,  2  per  cent.  ;  January  1,  1888,  to  July  1,  1888,  3  per  cent.;  July  1, 
1888,  to  January  1,  1889,  4  per  cent.  ;  January  1,  1889,  to  July  1,  1889,  5  per  cent.  ;  July 
1,  1889,  to  January  1,  1890,  6  per  cent.  ;  January  1,  1890,  to  July  1,  1890,  7  per  cent,  ;  from 
July  1,  1890,  onward,  8  per  cent. 

In  the  early  part  of  the  year  1890,  negotiations  were  opened  with  the  Mexican  Govern- 
ment for  the  settlement  of  all  the  subsidy  due  the  company  on  all  lines  that  had  been  con- 


1108  POOE'S  MANUAL — MEXICAN   CENTRAL  RY.   CO. 

stracted,  and  an  agreement  was  made  on  June  30,  where  by  the  company  was  credited  on 
that  date  with  a  net  balance  on  all  the  subsidy  which  had  been  earned  of  $19,820,793.01, 
Mexican  currency. 

The  company  agreed  to  allow  the  Government  a  discount  of  25  per  cent.,  which,  deducted 
from  the  $19,820,793.01  previously  specified  as  due  the  company,  left  the  net  amount  due 
under  the  agreement  as  of  June  30,  1890,  $14,865,594.76,  Mexican  currency. 

The  Government  paid  this  amount  to  the  company  in  four  equal  instalments,  the  first 
on  December  20,  1890  ;  the  second,  January  20,  1891  ;  the  third,  February  20,  1891  ;  and  the 
fourth,  March  20,  1891. 

It  was  agreed  by  the  Government  that  the  company  should  continue  the  sale  of  subsidy 
certificates  until  October  31,  1890,  at  which  time  all  sales  should  cease,  and  that  the  amount 
which  the  company  had  sold  from  July  1  to  October  31,  1890,  inclusive,  should  be  deducted 
from  the  amount  due  which  the  Government  had  agreed  to  pay  on  March  20,  1891. 

With  the  proceeds  of  the  final  payment  the  trustees  bought  from  time  to  time  under  the 
terms  of  the  consolidated  mortgage,  as  an  investment,  $5,597,000  of  the  priority  bonds  of  the 
company  ;  the  balance  of  the  issue  of  $7,000,000  of  said  bonds  then  outstanding,  $1,403,000, 
were  called  for  payment  and  cancellation  on  April  10,  1891.

entitled  on  account  of  its  railway  construction  ;  and  are  further  secured  by  a  consolidated 
mortgage  on  the  road  and  all  other  property  of  the  company.  The  remainder  ($1,000,000)  of 
the  authorized  issue  can  be  used  only  for  the  purchase  of  additional  rolling  stock.  These 
bonds  have  been  paid  and  cancelled  or  purchased  for  account  of  the  Subsidy  Trust  Fund, 
as  shown  above  in  the  statement  of  that  fund.

bonds  are  authorized  at  the  rate  of  $32,000  per  mile,  and  were  issued  at  par  to  holders 
of  1st  mortgage  assented  4  per  cent,  bonds,  who  also  received,  upon  exchange,  $300  of  1st

1939,  interest  (non-cumulative)  payable  annually,  July  10,  if  earned.  These  bonds  were 
issued  at  the  rate  of  $9,600  per  mile,  and  were  issued  to  holders  of  1st  mortgage  assented 
4  per  cent,  bonds  as  a  bonus  of  30  per  cent,  on  their  holdings  in  consideration  of  their  sur- 
render of  the  right  to  additional  interest  to  which  they  were  entitled.  The  interest  on  these 
bonds  must  be  satisfied  before  any  interest  can  be  paid  on  the  2d  consolidated  income  bonds.

"  A  controlling  interest  in  the  Bangor  Fidelity  and  the  West  Bangor  Slate  Companies  was  recently  bough  * 
at  a  cost  for  the  two  properties  of  $71,414.38.  Although  a  large  amount  of  money  was  expended  in  the  lasi 
to  develop  these  quarries,  and  to  increase  their  production  and  improve  their  condition,  they  somewhat  mor£ 
than  paid  all  expenses,  besides  contributing  a  very  considerable  amount  of  business  to  the  roads  over  whic" 
their  product  is  shipped,  and  there  is  every  reason  to  expect  that  these  quarries  will  be  a  source  of  considerabl* 
direct  revenue  in  the  future. 

"  The  mortgage  on  the  Greenwood  coal  property,  which  oriirinally  amounted  to  $830,000.  but  which  was

The  contract  between  this  company  and  the  Oregon  and  Transcontinental  Co.,  by  which 
this  company  acquired  the  Transcontinental  Co.'s  property,  provided,  in  substance,  for  the 
exchange  of  the  shares  of  the  capital  stock  of  this  company  for  the  shares  of  the  capital 
stock  of  the  Oregon  and  Transcontinental  Company,  share  for  share.  The  Farmers'  Loan 
and  Trust  Company  was  designated  as  the  depository  of  the  shares  of  the  stock  of  the  Oregon 
and  Transcontinental  Company,  for  the  purpose  of  exchange  ;  and  under  the  provisions  of 
the  contract  the  North  American  Company  became  obligated  to  accept  the  assets  and  prop- 
erty of  the  Oregon  and  Transcontinental  Company  as  soon  as  280,000  shares  of  the  stock  of 
the  latter  company  had  been  depor-ited  for  exchange.  On  August  13,  1890,  more  than  the 
requisite  number  of  shares  having  been  deposited,  this  company  assumed  control  of  the 
Oregon  and  Transcontinental  Company's  property. 

MILWAUKEE  STREET  RAILWAY  AND  ELECTRIC  LIGHT  ENTERPRISES.  —  Shortly  after  its 
organization  the  company  purchased  the  capital  stock,  property  and  franchises  of  the  Cream 
City  RR.  Co.,  the  Milwaukee  City  Ry,  Co.,  the  Badger  Illuminating  Co.,  t^e  Edis:u  Electric 
Illuminating  Co.  of  Milwaukee,  and  the  Milwaukee  Electric  Light  Co.,  and  consolidated 
these  properties  into  a  new  corporation,  the  Milwaukee  Street  Ry.  Co.  of  Wisconsin;  and, 
for  the  purpose  of  unifying  the  stock  ownership  of  all  these  companies,  the  Milwaukee 
Street  Ry.  Co.  of  New  Jersey  was  organized  with  a  capital  stock  of  $5,000,000. 

Exclusive  licenses  and  patent  privileges  were  acquired  from  the  Edison  companies  for 
the  operation  of  electric  railways  and  the  furnishing  of  electric  light  and  power  for  Milwau- 
kee and  the  adjacent  districts,  and  also  city  ordnances  granting  franchises  covering  all  the 
important  streets  and  points  in  the  city. 

During  the  past  year  the  company  contracted  for  the  remaining  street  railway  lines  in 
operation  in  Milwaukee,  including  the  West  Side  Street  Railway,  so  that  the  Milwaukee 
Street  Ry.  Co.  and  this  company  together  now  own  and  control  the  entire  street  railway 
system  of  the  city,  embracing  more  than  100  miles  of  track.  The  railways  last  referred  to 
are  still  operated  independently,  but  it  is  intended  to  consolidate  them  into  the  same  organ- 
ization with  those  first  purchased.  During  the  year  the  company  has  been  engaged  in  the 
work  of  substituting  electricity  for  animal  power  on  its  railways,  and  constructing  the 
Central  Station  plant  under  construction  contracts  with  the  Edison  General  Electric  Com- 
pany, and  in  developing  and  equipping  the  entire  railway  and  electric  lighting  system,  and  it 
is  believed  that  the  work  as  now  planned  will  be  completed  by  October  1,  1892.  The  entire 
railway  system  of  the  company  when  completed  will  comprise  not  less  than  140  miles  of 
track. 

The  company  does  all  the  street  lighting  for  the  city,  under  a  contract  entered  into  in 
November,  1891,  and  to  run  for  four  years.  It  now  has  about  1,500  arc  lights  and  over  13,-

000  incandescent  lamps  in  service,  and  in  the  business  of  supplying  electric  power  for  indus- 
trial purposes  lias  iu  use  by  customers  power  representing  the  equivalent  of  over  3,000  six- 
teen candle  power  incandescent  lamps. 

The  investment,  of  the  company  in  Milwaukee  is  represented  by  the  consolidated  mort- 
gage 5  per  c^nt.  gold  bonds  and  capital  stock  of  the  Milwaukee  Street  Hail  way  Companies. 

Arrangmenta  have  been  made  whereby  the  remaining  payments  for  the  completion  of 
the  electric  construction  upon  the  Milwaukee  system  may  be  made  at  the  option  of  this  com- 
pany in  the  bonds  of  the  Milwaukee  Street  Ky.  Co.  at  90  per  cent,  of  their  par  value  and 
accrued  interest. 

THE  CINCINNATI  ELECTRIC  LIGHT  ENTERPRISE .— The  Cincinnati  Edison  Electric  Com- 
pany was  organized  under  the  laws  of  the  State  of  Obio  by  a  syndicate  of  foreign  and  do- 
mestic capital,  of  which  the  North  American  Company  is  a  member  and  the  representative, 
with  a  capital  stock  of  $1,000,000,  for  the  purpose  of 'establishing  an  extensive  central  sta- 
tion electric  plant  and  of  securing  a  large  electric  lighting  business  in  the  city  of  Cincinnati 
and  its  suburbs. 

Tbe  entire  work  of  establishing  this  plant  was  placed  under  contract  with  the  Edison 
General  Electric  Company.  The  whole  system  will  be  completed  before  December  1,  1^92. 
The  company  purchased  a  desirable  site"  and  has  erected  a  substantial  building  thereon. 
The  entire  underground  system  is  completed,  *  part  of  the  plant  is  already  in  operation,  and 
practically  nothing  but  additional  electric  apparatus  remains  to  be  furnished. 

Early  in  June,  1892,  the  company  secured  the  contract  for  the  public  lighting  of  the  en- 
tire city  of  Cincinnati  for  eleven  years.  This  contract  carries  with  it  also  a  franchise  for 
commercial  lighting  for  the  term  of  twenty  years,  which  covers  the  corporate  limits  of  the 
city  as  now  fixed,  or  as  they  may  be  extended  during  the  life  of  the  franchise. 

The  North  American  Company  has  also  recently  acquired  the  entire  capital  stock  of  the 
Queen  City  Electric  Company  of  Cincinnati,  having  a  well-established  incandescent  lighting 
and  electric  power  pusiness,  which  at  present  earns  net  about  15  per  cent.  U|>'-n  the  purchase 
price. 

PROPOSED  SUBSTITUTION  OF  ELECTRICITY  AS  A  MOTIVE  POWER  ON  STANDARD  Ft  AIL- 
ROADS. — Theoretical  and  practical  investigation  has  been  made,  under  the  auspices  of  the  North 
American  Company  during  the  past  year,  into  the  practicability  of  substituting  electricity  as 
a  motive  power  for  the  propulsion  of  passenger  and  freight  trains  on  ordinary  standard  rail- 
roads. Practical  experiments  with  electric  locomotives  will  be  undertaken  during  the  cur- 
r^nt  fiscal  year.  For  that  purpose  the  company  has  secured  the  co-oneration  of  the  General 
Electric  Company,  recently  organized  by  the  consolidation  of  the  Edison  General  Electric 
and  the  Thomson-Houston  Companies,  and  of  the  General  Electricity  Co.  of  Berlin,  Ger- 
many. The  North  American  Co.  will  have  the  exclusive  right  of  exploiting  the  surface  sys- 
tem in  this  country. 

Income  Account  for  year  ending  May  31, 1892. — Cash  received  from  interest,  dividends, 
commissions,  and  all  other  sources,  $418,119.55.  Payments  for  interest  on  loans,  $220,538.-

Extracts  from  the  company's  report  for  1891  : 

"  The  first  mortgage  interest,  due  and  payable  December  1,  1890,  upon  which  the  com- 
pany defaulted,  was  paid  March  1,  1891,  and  the  interest  on  the  first  mortgage  bonds  has 
since  been  paid  promptly  when  due,  as  well  as  the  interest  on  the  new  consolidated  mort- 
gage bonds.  The  provisions  of  the  first  mortgage  sinking  fund  iiave  also  been  fully  satis- 
fied, and  this  has  enabled  the  trustees  to  retire  $205.000  first  mortgage  bonds  since  November 
30,  1889. 

"Of  the  $2,000,000  preferred  stock  outstanding-  November  30,  1889,  all  but  $827,800 
has  been  exchanged  for  the  consolidated  mortgage  bonds.  The  privilege  of  exchange  termi- 
nated May  15,  1891. 

"  The  authorized  issue  ($15,000,000)  of  consolidated  mortgage  bonds  was  made  for  the 
following  purposes  :  $4,514,000,  for  redemption  of  outstanding  first  mortgage  bonds  ;  $2,000,- 
000,  for  exchange  at  par  for  outstanding  preferred  stock  ;  $2,000,000,  for  delivery  to  company 
on  demand  ;  and  $6,486,000,  for  acquisition  of  new  property— total,  $15,000,000. 

"  The  company  has  complied  with  the  first  provision  by  depositing  $4  514,000  consoli- 
dated mortgage  bonds  with  the  Farmers'  Loan  and  Trust  Co.,  tru:4ee.  The  second  provision 
has  been  complied  with  to  the  extent  of  $1,672,000  bonds,  delivered  by  the  trustee  fora  like 
amount  of  preferred  stock  cancelled.  In  addition  to  the  amount  delivered  by  the  trustee,  it 
was  necessary  for  the  company  to  supply  $36,000  bonds,  under  the  terms  of  exchange  with 
the  preferred  stockholders.  The  $2,000,000  bonds  referred  to  in  the  third  provision  have 
been  received,  and  the  proceeds  applied  in  the  extinguishment  of  the  floating  debt,  which 
existed  at  the  time  of  the  appointment  of  the  receiver.  Of  the  $6,486,000  mentioned  in  the 
fourth  provision,  there  heve  been  received  $1,025,000  in  bonds  on  account  of  expenditures 
for  ships,  and  $1,856.000  in  bonds  for  construction.  Total  received,  $6,553,000  bonds,  of 
which  there  is  a  balance  in  the  hands  of  the  treasurer  unused  of  $85,000  and  $260,000  bonds, 
which  the  company  received  in  exchange  for  preferred  stock,  making  a  total  of  $345,000  in 
the  treasury  of  the  company."

WESTERN  UNION  TELEGRAPH  COMPANY.— This  company  was  chartered 
under  the  laws  of  New  York  on  April  4,  1856,  as  successor  to  the  New  York  and  Mis- 
sisippi  Valley  Printing  Telegraph  Company.  The  share  capital  at  the  time  was  $500,000  ; 
this  was  increased  from  time  to  time  by  the  acquisition  of  other  lines,  and  by  the  payment 
of  stock  dividends,  until  May,  1864,  when  it  reached  $20,133,800.  From  that  time  until 
July  1,  1869,  it  increased  to  $41,063,100  by  the  following  issues  :

In  June,  1879,  although  the  stock  nominally  amounted  to  the  sum  named  ($41,063,100), 
there  was  in  the  treasury  $5,978,125,  derived  from  net  earnings,  which  was  divided  at  that 
time  by  a  scrip  dividend  to  the  amount  of  17  per  cent. 

On  January  19,  1881,  the  company  was  consolidated  by  purchase  with  the  American 
Union  and  the  Atlantic  and  Pacific  Telegraph  Cos.  By  the  terms  of  purchase,  the  W.  U. 
Co.  increased  its  capital  stock  (by  $88,926,590)  to  $80,000,000,  with  which  it  paid  par  for 
the  100,000  shares  of  stock  of  the  American  Union  Co.,  amounting  to  $10,000,000,  and 
$5,000,000  of  new  stock  for  a  like  amount  of  that  Co.'s  bonds.  The  stock  of  the  A.  and  P. 
Tel.  Co.,  amounting  to  $14,000,000,  was  purchased  at  60  per  cent,  of  its  par  value,  and  paid 
for  in  new  W.  U.  stock,  amounting  to  $8,400,000.  The  balance  of  stock,  $15,526,590  was 
issued  to  ho'ders  of  old  W.  U.  stock.  The  transfer  of  property,  etc.,  of  the  purchased 
companies  was  made  February  3,  1881,  since  which  time  the  entire  system  has  been  under 
one  management. 

The  W.  U.  Tel.  Co.  owns  a  majority  of  the  stock  of  the  International  Ocean  Telegraph 
Co.,  and  nearly  one-half  the  stock  of  the  Gold  and  Stock  Telegraph  Co.  During  the  year 
1880-81  contracts  were  made  with  the  Northwestern  Telegraph  Co.,  absorbing  by  lease'  for 
ninety-nine  years  its  lines,  properties,  and  franchises  in  Wisconsin,  Iowa,  and  Minnesota, 
and  on  the  Northern  Pacific  HR.  ;  with  the  Great  Northwestern  Telegraph  Co.  of  Canada, 
sub  leasing  to  that  company  the  lines  acquired  from  the  Dominion  Telegraph  Co.,  west  of 
the  Province  of  New  Brunswick,  and  with  said  last-mentioned  company  and  the  Montreal 
Telegraph  Company,  guaranteeing  to  the  latter  a  fixed  revenue  from  the  operation  of  its 
lines  undertaken  to  be  operated  by  the  Great  Northwestern  Co. 

Contracts,  dating  from  January  1,  1882,  were  entered  into  with  the  Gold  and  Stock  Tel. 
Co.  and  with  the  International  Ocean  Tel.  Co.,  by  the  terms  of  which  this  company  will 
operate  the  lines,  properties,  and  business  of  those  companies  for  a  term  of  ninety-nine  years, 
guaranteeing  to  the  stockholders  quarterly  dividends  at  the  rate  of  6  per  cent,  per  annum, 
this  company  being  entitled  to  all  the  revenues. 

On  February  10,  1883,  the  Mutual  Union  Telegraph  Company  was  absorbed  by  lease, 
the  rental  being  the  interest  at  6  per  cent,  on  $5,000,000  bonds,  and  6  per  cent,  per  annum 
on  $2,500,000  capital  stock. 

During  the  year  1888  the  capital  stock  was  increased  by  $5,000,000  for  the  special 
purpose  of  acquiring  the  Baltimore  and  Ohio  Telegraph.  The  sterling  bonds  of  1900  to  the 
amount  of  £4,100  and  building  bonds  of  1902  to  the  amount  of  $11,000  were  redeemed  by 
the  sinking  fund  trustees. 

In  addition  to  the  acquisition  of  the  Baltimore  and  Ohio  Telegraph  system,  consisting 
of  6,711  miles  of  lines,  carrying  54,087  miles  of  wire  and  of  the  New  York  and  Southern 
Telegraph  system  of  1,5'28  miles  of  lines  and  5,090  miles  of  wire,  there  was  constructed 
during  the  year  1888  directly  by  the  company,  and  paid  for  out  of  the  treasury  6,3-2  miles 
of  line  and  32,430  miles  of  wire  on  which  account  there  was  appropriated  $1,219,590.67  in 
cash. 

During  1889  the  additions  to  the  property  were  7,379  miles  of  line,   31,449  miles  of  wire, 
and  the  equipment  of  1,229  additional  offices — of  which  4,814  miles  of  line  and  8,701  mii> 
wire  were  purchased  or  acquired  under  contracts  with  railroad  companies,  and  tin-  remainder, 
or  2,565   miles  of  line,  and  22,748  miles  of  wire  were  constructed   by  the  company.     The 
amount  expended  for  these  acquisitions  during  the  year  was  $1,141,010.72. 

There  was  also  taken  and  paid  for  in  cash  $400,000  of  additional  stock  in  the  Metropoli- 
tan Telegraph  and  Telephone  Company  at  par. 

During  1890,  the  additions  to  the  property  were  5,163  miles  of  line  and  cables,  31,300 
of  wire,  and  912  new  offices,  at  a  cost  of  $1,778,314.04,  which  was  paid  out  of  surplus  earn- 
ings. This  included  two  new  ocean  cables  from  New  York  to  Canso,  Nova  Scotia,  at  a  cost 
of  over  $1,000,000.  There  was  also  expended  during  that  year  for  the  purchase  of  stock  of

GREAT  NORTHERN  RAILWAY.— Under  date  of  March  22,  1892,  this  company 
issued  a  circular  to  its  stockholders,  of  which  the  following  is  an  extract: 

"Prior  to  the  execution  of  the  lease  of  the  St.  P..  M.  &  M.  Ky.  to  this  company,  it  was  contemplated  that 
the  lines  of  that  company  should  be  extended  to  a  suitable  point  on  Puget  Sound,  and  provision  was  made  in  the 
lease  for  the  construction  of  this  extension  and  the  issuance  of  securities  by  the  lessor  to  cover  its  cost.  Pursuant 
to  the  terms  of  the  lease,  the  lessor  authorized  the  creation  of  its  Pacific  Extension  Mortgage  to  secure  an  issue 
of  bonds  to  the  aggregate  amount  of  £6,000,000.  bearing  4  per  cent,  interest,  running  fifty  /ears  from  July  1,  1890, 
principal  and  inferest  payable  in  gold  :  and  your  company  has  entered  into  a  contract  with  St.  P.,  M.  &  M.  Ry. 
Co.  to  construct  this  extension  for  the  proceed?  of  said  bonds.  Construction  was  commenced  in  the  summer  of 
1890,  and  the  line  is  now  nearly  completed  to  Spokane,  Washington.  The  remainder  of  the  line  is  located  and 
i<  now  practically  all  under  construction. 

••Your  directors  consider  it  proper  that  such  method  shall  be  adopted  to  provide  the  necessary  funds  to 
complete  this  work  as  will  secure  to  you  a  futher  interest  in  the  property.  They  have  therefore  resolved  to  create 
a  mortgage  to  secure  $15.000,000  bonds,  and  as  collateral  security  therefor,  to  deposit  with  the  trustee  of  said 
mortgage  £3.000,000  of  the  Pacific  Extension  4  per  cent,  gold  bonds,  of  St.  P..  M.  &  M.  Ry.  Co.  The  bonds  are 
to  run  10  years,  from  September  1,  1892.  to  bear  interest  at  the  rate  of  4  per  cent,  per  annum,  payable  semi-annu- 
ally  on  the  first  days  of  March  and  September,  principal  and  interest  payable  in  gold. 

"  This  company  reserves,  in  this  mortgage,  the  right  to  redeem,  at  its  option,  at  anytime  after  September 
1,  1893,  any  or  all  of  the  bonds  issued  thereunder,  at  par  and  accrued  interest,  upon  giving  three  months  public 
notice  of  its  intention  so  to  do,  by  advertisement  published  twice  a  week  in  two  newspapers  of  good  circulation 
in  the  City  of  New  York,  and  one  iu  the  City  of  St.  Paul,  Minnesota. 

••  The  opportunity  is  now  offered  to  the  stockholders  of  this  company  of  record  at  the  close  of  business  April 
25, 1892.  to  subscribe,  pro  rata,  for  the  bonds  to  be  issued,  nt  the  price  of  72£  per  cent,  of  their  par  value. 

"  Stockholders  will  be  entitled  to  subscribe  for  an  amount  of  bonds  equal  to  75  per  cent,  of  their  holdings  of 
stock,  and  the  purchase  price  thereof  will  be  payable  in  five  equal  instalments,  as  follows  :  May  11,  July  1,  Sep- 
tember 1,  November  1,  and  December  21,  1892."  Instalments  may  be  prepaid  on  any  of  the  above  date's,  at  the 
option  of  subscribers,  and  a  rebate  of  interest  will  be  allowed  on  such  prepayments,  at  the  rate  of  three  per  cent, 
per  annum.  Negotiable  receipts  will  be  issued  for  payments  as  made,  and  these  receipts  will  be  convertible  into 
bonds  on  payment  of  the  final  instalment. 

"The  bonds  will  be  issued  of  the  denomination  of  $1,000  each,  without  registration  provision.  Stock- 
holders whose  holdings  will  entitle  them  to  fractions  of  a  bond,  will  receive  negotiable  receipts  for  their  pay- 
ments, convertible  into  bonds  when  presented  in  sums  of  §1,000  or  multiples  thereof."

February  24,  1892,  provides  for  an  issue  of  $2,500,000  consolidated  mortg«ge  5  per  cent,  gold

Electricity  Generated  by  Chemical  Action.  A  Handsome  Ornament  for  Table,  Mantel  or  Counter. 

THIS  illustration  represents  our  ELECTRIC  LIGHTER,  and  is  one-half  its  actual  size.  It  is  complete 
in  itself —requires  noextra  Power,  Wires  or  Connections.  The  Currentof  Electricity  is  generated 
by  Chemical  Action.    It  occupies  the  space  of  but  Six  SQUARE  INCHES. 

The  construction  is  simple  in  the  extreme.  It  can  be  taken  to  pieces  at  will,  and  just  as  easv 
readjusted. 

A  CHILD  CAN  OPERATE  IT.  Simply  by  pressing-  the  center  rod,  the  current  of 
Electricity  is  generated,  and  the  light  is  instantaneous.

The  material  to  charge  the  Battery  can  be  obtained  at  any  drug  store  at  a  cost  of  Ten  Cents,  and 
will  run  3O  to  6O  days. 

Any  part  can  be  replaced  at  a  cost  not  exceeding-  Ten  Cents.  Aside  from  its  use  as  a  Lighter  this 
apparatus  does  away  with  the  use  of  matches  and  the  dangerous  results  ahd  disagreeable  odors 
arising-  from  same. 

We  have  taken  especial  care  in  the  manufacture  of  these  Electric  Lighting  Batteries  ;  they  are 
handsomely  constructed  in  nickel  plate  and  highly  ornamental  and  will  take  a  prominent  place 
among  the  bric-d-brac  of  Reception  Rooms,  Parlors,  etc. 

|0P~  Full  directions  and  one  charge  for  the  Battery  accompanies  each  apparatus. 

All  orders  for  less  than  $2O.OO  must  be  accompanied  by  Postal,  Express  Money  Order,  or  by 
Draft  on  New  York. 

Goods  shipped  C.  O.  D.  on  receipt  of  2O  per  cent.    (Remittances  with  order  save  return  charges.) 

LIBERAL  DISCOUNT  TO  TRADE  AND  AGENTS. 
We  desire  reliable  representatives  in  every  state  in  the  Union,  and  invite  correspondence  on  the  subject.

Engine  No.  1,  two-story  car,  weighing  five  tons,  and  carrying  108  passengers,  on  one  rail  of  a 
standard  gauge  track. 

Two  Cylinders,  13x14  inches,  550  revolutions  per  minute ;  Driving  Wheel  8  ft.  diam. ;  traction, 
300  tons. 

One-thirtieth  the  weight  per  passenger  required  by  ordinary  palace  and  sleeping  cars. 

These  cars,  4ft.  wide,  14  ft.  high,  42  ft.  long,  allow  11  inches  between  trains.  When  running  on 
standard  gauge  railroads  it  makes  them  into  double  roads,  without  change  or  interference,  by  using 
guide  rails  15  ft.  above  track.  It  doubles  the  capacity  of  every  railroad  to  carry  freight  and  passen- 
gers.  Its  deep,  light.narrow  trains  permit  double  speed.

"The  world's  greatest  typewriter,"  now  contains  all  the  contemplated  improve- 
ments, and  should  be  examined  before  purchasing  any  other.  Highest  standard. 
Invented,  owned  and  controlled  by  men  having  had  fifteen  years'  experience 
on  type-bar  machines.  It  is  built  with  a  special  view  of  simplicity,  strength, 
durability,  high  speed,  easy  action,  permanent  alignment  and  is  most  con- 
venient. Two  interchangeable  carriages  for  manifolding  and  letter-writing. 
Steel  throughout.  Standard  key-board,  with  shift-key  for  capitals. 

A  board  of  experts,  appointed  by  the  government  to  examine  and  receive  bids  on  the  best  machines, 
unanimously  reported  that  tne  DENSMORE  contained  more  points  of  excellence  than  any  other  and  was  the 
best  machine  of  all. 

We  will  appoint  a  reliable  dealer  in  unoccupied  territory  as  soon  as  possible,  and  in  the  meantime  we  will 
ship  machines  on  approval  to  parties  having  a  commercial  rating.

We  are  now  prepared  to  show,  by  irrefutable  proofs,  that  our  Excavators  are 
way  (a  long  way)  ahead  of  all  our  competitors.  It  received  the  highest  premium,  in 
the  face  of  the  powerful  opposition  of  two  rings  who  conspired  to  beat  us. 

It  is  now  admitted  by  all  who  have  used  the 
different  kinds  of  excavators  that  the  Victor  is 
the  best  one  on  the  ir>arket.  It  is  the  most 
powerful,  quickest  working,  most  durable,  best 
proportioned,  easiest  handled,  of  fewest  parts, 
least  likely  to  get  out  of  order,  and  therefore  the 
least  expensive  to  keep  up,  and  the  cheap- 
est, everything  considered. 

Its  construction  is  simplified  by  patented 
devices  which  avoids  all  complications. 
It  has  the  best  record  of  any  excavator  in 
the  country.    Its  high  crane  allows  it  to 
dig  7  ft.  below  grade,  and  can  be  lowered  down  in  30  min- 
utes to  pass  low  bridges  when  running  over  the  road. , 
It  has  loaded  on  to  flat  cars  3,120  yds.  in  10  hours,  and 
can  excavate  any  kind  of  material  that  can  be  dug  by 
any  other  excavator  ever  built,  and  more  of  it.

THE  TWELFTH    ANNUAL  EDITK)N  OF 

—THE- 

National  Car  g  Locomotive  Builder 

"SUPPLEMENT" 

WILL    BE    FUJBJLtlJsiHED     IIV     JULY,     J**O^. 
1st.    WHAT  WILL  IT  CONTAIN? 

IT  WILL  CONTAIN  complete  lists  of  every  CAK  and  LOCOMOTIVE  BUILDER,  CAR 
AXLE,  CAR  WHEEL,  and  CAR  SPRING  MANUFACTURER,  and  all  the  RAIL 

MILLS  in  the  United  States. 

Complete  lists  of  the  STREET  RAILROADS  in  the  United  State?  and  Canada—  their  Gauge, 
Weight  of  Rail,  Mileage,  number  of  Cars  and  Horses,  Officers1  Names  and  Addresses. 

The  Railroads  (both  Steam  and  Street  in  Mexico.  Central  and  South  America,  and  the  West  Indies,  with 
the  Gauge.  Weight  of  Rail,  Mileage,  number  of  Cars  and  Locomotives.  Officers'  Names  and  Addresses,  etc. 

2d.    HOW  WILL  IT  BE  CIRCULATED? 

IT  WILL  BE  DISTRIBUTED  gratuitously  to  every  person  whose  name  appears  in  it,  and  in  addition  will 
be  sent  to  every  GENERAL  MANAGER,  SUPERINTENDENT,  PURCHASING  AI4ENT, 
MASTER  MECHANIC,  MASTER  CAR-BUILDER,  MASTER  CAR-PAINTER, 
CHIEF  ENGINEER,  and  ROAD  MASTER  of  all  Railroads  in  the  United  States  and  Canada. 

3d.    WILL  IT  PAY  TO  ADVERTISE  IN  IT? 


YES  :  FOR  THE  REASON  that  the  ADVERTISEMENTS  in  this  paper  form  a  conveniently  indexed  col- 
lection of  TRADE  CIRCULARS  of  nearly  TWO  HUNDRED  of  the  best  and  most  responsible  Manufact- 
urers of  Railroad  Material,  a  collection  not  to  be  obtained  in  any  other  way  ;  and  it  is  tin-  experience  of  the 
publisher,  during  the  past  rive  years,  that  Railroad  Officials  and  others  keep  the  "  Supplement  "  on  their  desks  or 
hung  near  at  hand  throughout  the  year  for  reference,  using  it  'not  only  as  a  Directory,  but  as  an  Illustrated 
Catalogue. 

ANOTHER  REASON  is  that  it  enables  you  to  show  the  different  designs  or  large  illustrations  of  whatever 
you  manufacture,  at  a  comparatively  small  co*r,  le*s,  in  fact,  than  k  would  cost  you  to  send  out  circulars,  ami 
in  a  much  better  manner,  for  circulars  are.  as  a  rule,  thrown  away  ;  but,  by  having  your  circular  bound  with 
others,  and  in  such  a  convenient  form,  IT  WILL  A  LAV  AYS  BE  PRESERVED.  The  size  of  the 
page  is  14  inches  deep  by  9%  inches  wide. 

We  respectfully  refer  to  the  prominent  manufacturers  who  have  advertised  in  the  paper  from 
its  first  issue,  MANY  OF  THEM  NOW  TAKING  DOUBLE  THE  SPACE  THEY 
COMMENCED  WITH. 

4th.    HOW  MUCH  WILL  IT  COST? 
RATES   OF   ADVERTISING: 

One  Page  (14  in.  deep,  9  }£  in.  wide),  One-half  Page,          .         .         .         .$75.00

The  special  value  of  this  years  Atlas  over  other  years  is  in  the 
completeness  of  the  1.90  Census  Report.  In  addition  to  the  revised 
figures  which  we  shall  give  for  all  places  shown  in  1880,  we  have  the 
exact  population  for  over  25,000  places  which  have  sprung  into 
existence  since  then  and  are  now,  for  the  first  time,  given  to  the 
public,  not  only  with  a  perfect  index  of  their  location  and  how  to 
reach  them,  but  they  are  by  means  of  these  population  figures  placed 
upon  a  proper  commercial  basis  with  other  places,  and  as  these 
figures  are  to  remain  as  the  only  official  record  for  another  ten 
years,  now  is  the  time  to  get  them. 

Each  page  will  be  15x21  inches  in  size,  and  contain  new  Double- 
Page  Maps  of  all  Important  States  and  Mexico. 

They  show  the  railroads  in  separate  color,  and  the  county 
boundaries  outlined.*

America's  Famous  Snow  Plow 


The  Truth  is  bound  to  come  out,     OVER  ONE  HUNDRED  THOUSAND 

DOLLARS  in  new-fangled  Steam  Snow  Plows  condemned  to  the  SCRAP-HEAP. 
The  New  Screw  and  Auger  Machines  wiped  out  of  existence.  COMPETITIVE 
TRIALS  laid  bare  the  hollow  claims  of  all  opponents  of  THE  ROTARY. 

Not,  however,  before  several  Railroad  Companies  had  been  misled  by  the  erroneous 
representations  put  forth.  The  unerring  art  of  the  photographers  shattered  the  false 
statements  of  the  promoters  of  these  machines,  and  exhibited,  in  naked  truth,  beyond 
all  possible  doubt  or  cavil,  the  VAST  SUPERIORITY  OF  THE  ROTARY 
in  every  respect.  The  indisputable  proof  of  the  success  of  the  Rotary  afforded  by  the 
photographers'  work  is  substantially  supported  by  the  fact  that  every  order  for  Steam  Snow 
Plows  given  by  Railroad  Companies  in  the  United  States  since  the  COMPETITIVE 
TRIALS  has  been  awarded  to  the  ROTARY. 

Orders  for  the  ROTARY  for  1892  should  be  placed  as  early  as  possible  in  order  to 
insure  prompt  and  satisfactory  delivery.  For  further  particulars  address

Consolidated  Engines,  £20.00  per  set. 

AU  .noods  delivered  free  by  freight  to  any  Railway  in  the  United 
States  not  west  of  Missouri  River  p<  ints  ;  to  roads  west  thereof

BRIDGE  GUARDS,  similar  to  outside  Frog-s, 
but  longer,  with  attachments,  $100  per  set. 
Street  Car  Replacers  and  Hose  Bridge, 

$8.00. 


THE  RE-PLACERS  FOR  RE  RAILING  ANY  ROLLING  STOCK.-They  will  convince  any  practical 
operating  railroad  man  of  their  superiority  over  all  other  replacing1  devices.  They  will  pay  for 
themselves  in  saving  of  time  over  the  use  of  any  other  Replacers  or  Wrecking  Frogs,  as  they 
will  replace  any  cars  or  locomotive  in  about  one-fourth  the  time  consumed  by  other  Replacers. 
They  will  retain  themselves  where  dropped,  and  save  time  and  expense  in  any  case  of  derailment. 
They  are  in  use  on  several  hundred  of  the  principal  railroads  and  giving  perfect  satisfaction. 

The  Bridge  Guards  are  the  best  possible  protection  to  any  bridge  or  trestle.  They  are  similar  to  the  outside 
Wrecking  Frog  illustrated  above,  but  longer.  They  are  placed  outside  of  each  rail,  and  opposite  each  other. 
They  are  positive  in  replacing  any  derailed  rolling  stock,  and  at  the  same  time  are  placed  at  a  sufficient  distance 
from  the  rails  to  allow  all  rolling  stock  to  pass  upon  the  rails  free  of  the  guards.  By  using  the  Wrecking  Frog 
size  you  will  be  convinced  that  the  Bridge  Guards  will  replace  any  derailed  rolling  stock  at  any  speed.  Bine 
prints  and  complete  description  furnished  on  application.  Correspondence  and  personal  interviews  solicited.

POOR'S  BUREAU 

OK 

Information  and  Investigation, 

Conducted    in  connection  with  and  as  an  adjunct  to 

Poor's   Manual   of    Railroads, 

WILL   FURNISH    UPON    ORDER 

Detailed  information  relative  to  new  or  projected  Railroads, 

Analyses  of  Railroad  and  other  reports, 

Statistics  of  Steam,  Electric,  Cable  and  Horse  Railways, 

Advance  information  relative  to  Railroad  reports,  etc.;  or  will  make 

Full   and   comprehensive  investigations   into  Railroad   mortgages,  bonds,  leases  or 
other  contracts. 

In  a  word,  we  propose  to  furnish  information  of  any  character  coming  within  the  scope 
of  this  Bureau,  but  not  contained  in  or  within  the  province  of  our  three  annual  publica- 
tions, viz.: 

POOR'S  JIAXUAL  OF  RAILROAD*. 

POOR'S  HAND-BOOK  O\  IXVESTJIEXT  SECURITIES, 
POOR'S  DIRECTORY  OF  RAILWAY  OFFICIALS  and 
1HAKUAL  OF  AJIERICAX  STREET  RAILWAYS. 

Subscribers  to  any  of  the  above-named  works  may  address  their  inquiries  to  us,  and 
a  prompt  reply  will  be  mailed  at  a  cost  based  upon  the  length  of  time  occupied  on  the  work. 

Special  attention  will  be  given  to  the  preparation  of  Historical  Statements  of  existing 
or  defunct  corporations  ;  to  investigations  into  the  value  of  old  railroad  bonds,  and  to  the 
preparation  of  statistical  exhibits  designed  to  show  the  value  of  railroad  securities.  Besides 
this,  investigations  will  be  made  at  anytime  through  official  channels  into  the  status  of 
new  projects,  and  reports  made  thereon.  Proceedings  in  foreclosure  or  reorganization  will 
be  carefully  followed,  and  all  facts  relating  to  such  proceedings  noted  for  reference. 

It  is  believed  that  the  establishment  of  this  Bureau  will  prove  of  great  benefit  to  the 
subscribers  for  our  annual  publications,  as  it  will  enable  them  at  a  nominal  cost  to  avail  of 
our  unequalled  facilities  for  the  collection  of  news  items  relative  to  Railroad  Invest- 
ments or  projects,  besides  securing  the  privilege  of  access  to  our  Library,  which  contains 
all  reports  and  documents  issued  during  the  past  half  century. 

Annual  subscribers  to  this  Bureau  may  call  for  whatever  information  they  desire, 
during  the  period  of  their  subscription.  Terms  upon  application.  Address

CHARLES  MILLER,  PRESIDENT.  JOHN  E.  GILL,  GENERAL  MANAGER 

Galena  Oil  Works  Limited. 


SAFETY,  SPEED  and  ECONOMY  are  the  results  of  the  use  of  Galena  Engine,  Coach  and  Car  Oils  for 

the  .lubrication  of  locomotives  and  passenger  and  freight  cars.  Scientific  and  practical  tests  of  the  past  20 
years  have  demonstrated  the  fact  that  Galena  Oils  are  superior  to  any  other  oils  in  the  market. 

These  oils  have  been  adopted  as  standard  railway  lubricants  by  a  niajoriiy  of  the  leading  railways  of  this 
country.  Galena  Oil,  in  Winter,  stands  a  cold  lest  of  from  10  to  15  degrees  below  zero,  and  will  not  freeze  in 
the  coldest  weather.  Being  made  heavy  for  summer  use,  it  is  also  adapted  to  extreme  heat,  and  it?  use  assures 
entire  freedom  from  hot  journals  at  all  times  and  under  all  circumstances,  except  when  these  are  produced  by 
mechanical  defects. 

The  superiority  of  Galena  Oil  is  demonstrated  by  its  use  upon  so  large  a  majority  of  the  leading  railways  of 
this  country.  Galena  Oils  are  in  exclusive  use  upon  three  continuous  lines  of  railway  from  Boston  and  New 
"York  to  the  Pacific  Coast,  and  on  one  continuous  line  to  the  City  of  Mexico,  thus  demonstrating  its  adaptabil- 
ity to  all  climates  and  all  temperatures. 

Galena  Oil  being  entirely  free  from  gum,  it  is  not  affected,  as  other  oils  are,  when  used  in  sandy  and  dusty 
districts.  Galena  Oil  is  superior  to  lard  and  other  animal  oils,  and  in  its  use  a  saving  in  the  wear  of  brasses, 
pins  arid  links  is  effected.  There  is  also  a  saving  of  fuel,  for  the  reason  that  a  locomotive  will  haul  from  two 
to  four  cars  more  to  a  train  load  than  when  lubricated  with  other  oils.  Repeated  tests  have  shown  as  high  as 
15,000  to  20,000  miles  to  one  oiling  with  Galena  Oil. 

Having  made  railway  lubrication  a  special  study  for  many  years,  both  from  a  practical  and  scientific  point 
of  view,  we  can  offer  to  our  patrons  an  experience  that  guarantees  them  entire  satisfaction  in  every  instance. 

Testimonials  and  references  will  be  furnished  cheerfully  upon  request.

etc..  and  that  every  stage  of  manufacture  is  under  their  own  supervision,  and  are  not  (like  others) 
dependent  on  the  open  market  for  a  miscellaneous  assortment  of  crude  material  ;  which,  in  connec- 
tion with  75  years'  experience,  enables  them  to  turn  out  a  product  of  a  very  superior  quality,  second
