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.

BUILDERS OF
Improved Flan's Patent Bailiay
Flagg's Patent Railway Safety Gates are in use on
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.

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,-

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,-
XXVI 11
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.
XXX
[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.
20), 1,549. Operations for year ending June 30, 1891 : Gross earnings. $3,524,257.51. Operating expenses and
taxes, $2,933,845.93. Net earnings, $590,411.58. Add other receipts, $42,198.97 ; interest, $553.70— total income,
$633,164.25. Payments : Interest on bonds, $109,950 ; dividends (8 per cent.). $480,000 ; miscellaneous, $32,712.72
—total, $622,662.72. Balance, surplus, $10,501.53.

Southern Kansas System. — In November, 1880, the Atchison company, through one of
its auxiliary corporations, the Kansas City, Topeka and Western, purchased the entire capi-
tal stock of the Kansas City, Lawrence and Southern RR. Co., and its two auxiliary corpora-
tions, the Suuthem Kansas and Western and the Sumner County, payment being made dollar
for dollar, in 5 per cent. 40-year bonds of the Atchison of the date of September 1, 1880.
For further details of history see MANUAL for 1888, page 742, and MANUAL for 1889, page 733.
Sonora System.— Opened for business in July, 18S2. See MANUAL for 1889, p^ge 732.
G-ulf, Colorado and Santa Fe RR. — This road was added to the Atchison system in 1886.
See statement on page 24.
St. Louis, Kansas City and Colorado RR. — The Atchison owns the entire stock and bonds
of this company. For history, etc., see MANUAL for 1890, page 927.
Southern California RR. — This company (a consolidation of the California Central and
the California Southern RR. Cos. and the Redondo Beach Ry. Co., November 7, 1889) is con-
trolled by the Atchison through ownership of its capital stock. (For history of the constituent
companies, etc., see MANUAL for 1889, pp. 732, 883, 884, and MANUAL for 1890, page 1,009 ;
see aiso statement on yage 25 following.)
The interest of the Atchison in these several companies is shown in the statements of
securities owned by it, which will be found on another page.
For information in reference to roads owned jointly, see GENERAL INDEX for statements
of the several companies.
The company was reorganized without foreclosure in October, 1889, under the terms of a
plan, a resume of which was given in the MANUAL for 1891, on page 14.
On January 1, 1889, the Wichita and Western, and Kingman, Pratt, and Western RR.
14
POORS MANUAL — ATCHISON, TOPEKA AND SANTA FE RR. CO.
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.

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
in 1st mortgage 6 per cent, bonds at par. Until the title is clear, this company leases the road, paying as rental
$436.266 yearly, being $1,800 per mile ; such rental being guaranteed by the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe RR.

St. Louis and San Francisco Ry. Co. (statement for which see). The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe and the St.
Louis and the San Francisco Cos. guaranteed 25 per cent, of gross earnings derived from interchange of traffic
with this road to meet any deficiency in interest on first mortgage bonds, such advances to be treated as a loan,

In October, 1889, a traffic agreement was made with the Union Pacific By. Co. for close :
operation of the two systems for through business.
History. — This company was organized in 1^59 as successor to the Chicago, St. Paul,
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
began a system of absorption of the-»e proprietary companies ; »nd in 1884 it purchased
tain lines in Iowa formerly held under lease. (See MANUAL for 1890.) On June 5, 1890, tlu1
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.
The company owns the entire share capital of the Fremont, Elkhorn and Missouri V:i !!»•;•

History. — Organized February 14, 1874, as successor to the Milwaukee and St. PaM
Ry. Co. That company owned 1,399 miles of railroad and a majority interest in tl<
ern Union RR. Co., having 212.75 miles in operation. In following years the company i
creased its mileage by building new railroad or by the acquisition of other lines till it hi'
5.656.83 miles in operation at the close of the fiscal year 1890. Daring the past fiscal ye:,
the mileage was increased by the construction of a branch from Necedah to Babcock, Wi.-
This Division is now operated as part of the Chicago and Council Bluffs Division in Iowa.
POOR'S MANUAL — CHICAGO, MILWAUKEE AND ST. PAUL J*Y. CO.
18.94 miles, and one from Lynn northwesterly in the direction of Greenwood, Wis., 2.45
miles, built by the Lisbon, Necedah and Lake Superior Ry. Co., and purchased by this coni-
panv for $153,000 ; also by the purchase of the Wisconsin, Pittsville and Superior and the
Milwaukee, Dexterville and Northern Rys., having1 a mileage of 40.92 miles, extending from
ville Junction to Lynn and from Dexterville Junction to Pittsville and Vesper. The
cost of the two last named roads was $547,000 cash. In the MANUAL for 1888, on pages 390
and 391. was given a condensed history of the several lines forming the St. Paul system, and
on page 188 of the MANUAL for 1890 was shown the progress of construction of the different
lines forming the system, irrespective of the time they were acquired by the Chicago, Mil-
waukee and St. Paul Ry. Co.
The line of the Belt Ry. of Missouri, in which this company has a one-fifth interest, is
used as an entrance into Kansas City. A passenger station at Milwaukee, completed during
18S6, is used jointly by this company, the Wisconsin Central, and the Milwaukee and North-
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.

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.

PRESS NOTICES.
ffevf York Evening Fast.
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.

Preferred stock is entitled to dividends up to 4 per cent, and to share equally with com-
mon in any dividends paid after that. Except upon the question of increasing the share
capital, leasing the road or any part of it, or of hiring or uniting with any other road, the
common stock has no voting power until it shall have received 4 per cent, dividends for two
successive years.

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-
road when completed will form a connecting link between the great trunk lines west of the
Hudson River and the railroad system of New England, and by the New York and Northern
make a connection with New York City. Traffic contracts to endure for fifty years have been
made between this company and the New York and New England, the Lehigh Valley, the
Lehigh and Hudson River (embracing the Philadelphia and Reading and the Central RR. of
New Jersey), the New York, Susquehanna and Western, the New York and Northern, and
the New York, Ontario and Western Railroad Companies. The contract with the New York
and Northern secures direct entrance into New York City.

History. — Chartered February 10, 1851. Dubuque line opened June 11, 1855 ; through
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,-
300.41. During the same period the stockholders received $67,042,361.59 in cash dividends.
All the lines of railroad operated by the company in connection with its main lines are
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 '
for 1889 and preceding numbers.

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."

of the Xew York, Lake Erie and We.-tern RR. ; and 21 miles of the Central RR. of New
Jersey, making a total of 1,143 miles operated.
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.
•'The Roselle and South PlainfiVld. the Newark and Ro?elle. the Newark, the Jersey City. Newark and
. the Newark and Passaic. the Edgewater. and the Jersey City Terminal Rv. Cos. being the roads which
form our through line between the Easton and Amboy RR.. at South Plainfleld. and the harbor of New York City,
were consolidated into one corporation, called the Lehigh Valley T< /•//</'/•'// 7P//. Co. Upon the property of this
company, including the extensive basins, wharves, and improvements in Jersey City, there has been executed a
?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
onnection with the Wilkesbarre and Harvey's Lake RR., in the borou<rn of Luzerne, about two miles in length,
Deluding a six-span iron bridge across the Susquehanna River, was opened for business. This link of road
•neds a saving in distance from the Harvey's Lake Road to and from Wilkesbarre and points south thereof o(
J.9 miles over the route heretofore in use ria Coxton and the West Pittstou Branch."
Since the close of the fiscal year the property of this company has been leased to the
Philadelphia and Reading RR. Co. For terms of the lease see statement of that company.

•• 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.
A contract has been entered into between the Memphis and Charleston RR. Co. and the
Nashville, Florence and Sheffield RR. Co., for the joint use of the Florence Bridge, its
approaches, and such part of the Florence Branch as the Nashville, Florence and Sheffield
RR. Co. may desire to use, to obtain an entrance into the town of Sheffield.

History. — This road was built in 1873-74 ; company reorganized after foreclosure June
5, 1880. Leased from completion till August 1, 1882, to the Wisconsin Central RR. Co. In
1884 the Wisconsin and Michigan RR., from Fort Howard to Pike, Wis., 94 miles, was bought
by the company. (See MANUAL for 1888, page 500.) The mileage owned has been increased
during the past year by the purchase of the Ocouto and Southwestern RR., 12.50 miles (now
the Oconto branch), and the Ontonagon and Brule River RR., 46 miles, now the Ontonagon
branch.
In September, 1890, this road passed under the control of the Chicago, Milwaukee and
St. Paul Ry. Co., that company exchanging its stock, dollar for dollar, for that of the Mil-
waukee and Northern. It is operated in connection with the lines of the C., M. & St. P.
Ry. Co., but all accounts are kept separate.

$894,200 fourth debentures, making a total of $7,295,500 debentures transferred to and stand-
ing on the books of the company in the name of the Farmers' Loan and Trust Company,
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
lien on the Kentucky and Tennessee RR. (Cairo Extension), also a first lien on the several
branches of the the M. & O. RR., 32 miles, upon the transfer and terminal properties in
Cairo, 111., and upon the net income of the road after payment of the expenses of its main-
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-
sion bonds, issued in 1880 and due in 1892. There have been exchanged to date $974,000,
leaving $26,000 still in hands of the Farmers' Loan and Trust Company for exchange for
remainder of the Cairo Extension bonds outstanding.
The general mortgage bonds are for $500 and $1,000 each. They are coupon bonds, first
coupon payable March 1, 1889, in cash ; or, if the earnings in any period during the first three
years shall not suffice for that purpose, then such deficiency may be paid in scrip convertible
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
September, 1889, half in cash and half in scrip ; since March, 1890, all cash. The total author-

" 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."
The authorized share capital is $10,000,000, of which $5,3-20,600 are outstanding, and

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
JOHN P. MEANY, Manager,
70 Wall Street, New York, N. Y.

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."

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.

ership, December 9, 1874. The entire property was sold under foreclosure of the consolidated mortgage of the
A. & G. W. RR. Co. January 6, 1880, and bought by reorganization trustees, by whom it was conveyed to the cor-
porators of the New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio RR. Co. March 5, 1880. Under the terms of sale and reorgani-

tenth of one per cent, on the whole gross earnings for every increase of $100,000 over that amount and up to

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."

per annum for sinking fund. The original issue provided for was $2,500,000, being at the
rate of nbout $12,000 per mile. The decrease from this amount to that shown in the fore-

etc. Denominations, $100, $500, and $1,000. Holders of coupon bonds may register same.

The amount of bonds provided under the Pend d'Oreille Division mortgage was $4,500,-
000— $20,000 per mile. Denominations, $100, $500, and $1,000. The bonds are secured on
22") miles of road, from the mouth of Snake River, Wash., to Lake Pend d'Oreille, Idaho,
and on the lands appertaining to that division, and are receivable at par and accrued interest
in purchase of said lands at appraised value. The bonds may be redeemed at any time from
proceeds of land sales, or may be called in after September 1, 1884, to the extent of 1 per cent,
per annum for sinking fund. Trustee, Farmers' Loan and Trust Co., New York, N. Y.
Listed on the New York Stock Exchange in sums of $1,000.
The general first mortgage gold bonds are secured on the entire railroad and property,
including the land grant, except the lauds in Minnesota and Dakota east of the Missouri
River, and subject only to the lien of the Missouri Division and Tend d'Oreille Division mort-
gages, and an amount of the general firsts sufficient to discharge those are held by the trustee.
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
bonds, those lands become an additional security for the payment of the general first mort-
gage. The bond? are in coupon form, for $1,000 each, with provision for registration as to
principal, such registered bonds being re-exchangeable into bonds to bearer ; or they may be
exchanged for full registered bonds in sums of $5,000, which registered bonds may not be re-
transferred to bearer. There is a sinking fund of 1 per cent, per annum, beginning January 1,
1886, for purchase of bonds in the open market, at not exceeding 110 ; but if such purchases
cannot be effected, the bonds are drawn at 110 and accrued interest, none of the registered
bonds to be drawn until all the coupon bonds shall have been redeemed. The bonds are
receivable for lands at 110, and proceeds of land sales may be applied to payment of interest
on them if the earnings of the road are insufficient. Drawings for the sinking fund are
made about May and November, and drawn bonds are paid off at once ; but if not presented
immediately they carry interest to the interest day following the drawing. Principal and
interest payable in New York, free of all United States taxes. Trustee, Central Trust Co.,
New York. Listed on the Stock Exchanges of New York and London.
The general second mortgage gold bonds are secured on the same properties, but are sub-
ject to the lien of the general firsts, to which they are in all respects similar, as to security,
provision for registration, redemption, etc., except that the sinking fund did not begin till
October 1, 1888. Trustee, Farmers' Loan and Trust Co., New York. Listed on the Stock
Exchanges of New York and London.
The general third mortgage gold bonds are in all respects similar to the general firsts and
seconds as to security, provision for registration, redemption, etc., except that the sinking
fund does not begin till January 1, 1894 ; and that the rate of redemption is 105 per cent.
The mortgage is for $12,000,000, and the unissued balance is reserved to retire the outstand-
ing dividend certificates. Trustee, Farmers' Loan and Trust Co., New York. Listed on the
Stock Exchange of New York and London.
The dividend certificates are for $500 and $1,000 each. They were issued January 1,
1883, in payment of 11^ per cent, on preferred stock, that amount representing net revenue
applied to capital purposes up to July 1, 1882. The original issue fell due January 1, 1888,
but were extended to January 1, 1907, the company having the option of redeeming them on
any interest day after 1902, on thirty days' notice. These certificates are included in the
general third mortgage, and may be exchanged for bonds issued under that mortgage till
January 1. 1893, upon adjustment of interest. Listed on the Stock Exchanges of New York

the mortgage they are to be issued as follows : For retiring general first, second, and third
mortgage bond?, $75,000,000 ; for retiring bonds of branch lines, $26,000,000 ; for building
and acquiring additional roads, $20,000,000 ; for enlargement, terminals, etc., $20,000,000 ;
for premiums on bonds exchanged, $10,000,000 ; for general purposes of the company, $9,-
000,000. They are $1,000 gold coupon bonds, with provision for registration of principal ;
payable botli principal and interest (which latter is free from all taxes) at the office or agency
of the company in New York. Certificates of $5,000 each, for the registration of both prin-
cipal and interest, are issued in exchange for coupon bonds surrendered for exchange and
cancellation. The bonds are a lien, subject to prior mortgages, on the entire property, rights,
and franchises now owned by the company, or which may hereafter be acquired, including
all of its land grant except the lands in Minnesota and Dakota east of the Missouri River.
Bonds may be registered and transferred at the office of the treasurer of the company, New
York. Trustee, Farmers' Loan and Trust Co., New York. Listed at New York Stock Ex-
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,
for interest and sinking fund charges on bonds of branch roads, amounting to $14,599,000

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.

tration, at holders' option, due July 1, 1937, interest payable January and July, at 36 Wall
Street, New York, and 50 State Street, Boston, Mass. ; the income bonds are $1,000 5 per

from July 1, 1887.
In June, 1891, improvement bonds to the amount of $12,000,000 were authorized, of
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.
Messrs. Colby, Abbot, and Hoyt, trustees (who issue their non-voting trustee certificates,
which are only form of stock delivery), hold the whole of the stock of this company.

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-

the assent of about $16,500,000 of both classes, and will probably be carried out.

Western Ry., the Lehigh and Hudson River Ry., and the Pennsylvania, Poughkeepsie, and
Boston RR. on the west, and with the New Haven and Northampton, the Boston and Maine,
and the New York and New England RRs. on the east. On March 4, 1887, parties in the

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

tember 1, December 1, to be issued by a new corporation representing the consolidation of
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

stock ( vote of majority of preferred stock requisite to authorize any additional mortgage

see, Va. & Ga. Ry. Co., $1,210,000— total floating debts, $6,310,000.
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
securities will vest in the new corporation, and form a part of the security for the new first" mortgage bonds.
"It is also contemplated by the plan that the rights and interests of the East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia Railway Company in the securities of the Alabama Great Southern Railway Company. Limited, the
Alabama Great Southern RR., and the Cincinnati, N. O., and T. P. Railway shall be subjected to the lien of the
new nr-t nm: |
M The satisfaction and discharge of the Richmond Terminal Collateral Trust 6 per cent, mortgage will be de-
ferred until the collateral deposited to secure bonds issued thereunder may. in the judgment of the committee, be
directly subjected to Hie lien of the new first mortgage."

History.— Chartered March 9, 1847 ; main line opened May 16, 1856 ; branches from 1871
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
POOR'S MA.NUAL — RICHMOND AND DANVILLE RR. CO.

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.

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

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.

•Collateral Trust Gold Bonds
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
any time on three months' notice. On November 1, 1891, the floating debt was adjusted by a
loan of $3,500,000 made for one year by a syndicate on pledge of $7,000,000 of these bonds.
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
not paid on previous dividends. The amount so distributed equalled 40 per cent, on the
share capital of the Central, and 32 percent, on the share capital of the Southwestern (leased).
The collateral trust bonds are an issue of $5,000,000 gold 5 per cent. 50-year $1,000 cou-
pon bonds, with provision for registration of principal, due May 1, 1937. These bonds are

issued its general mortgage bonds on it at the rate of $15,000 per mile. In 1886 the line was
surrendered by the Wabash, St. Louis and Pacific receivers, and passed under the control of
the bondholders, by whom it was transferred subsequently to a corporation known as the St.
Louis and Central Illinois RH. Co., which was organized December 3, 1886, and took pos-
session of the road under a lease dating from December 1, 1886. On June 4, 1887, the exist-
ing -N". Louia, Alton and Springfield RR. Co. was organized, with power to purchase the
road and to build extensions from Newbern to Alton, and from Bates to Springfield, 111.
The former WHS completed toward the close of the year 1888, and work on the other is in
progress. In October, 1890, H receiver was appointed on the application of the contractors..

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
statements for those companies.

ern RR. Co., dated March 3, 1857. By Act of February 4. 1870, that company was empowered to divide into
separate and distinct companies and to adopt different 'names. (See Minneapolis and St. Louis RR.) The con-
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
payable from rental January and July (guaranteed by lessee). Capital stock (all owned by St. P". & D. RR. Co.),

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.

(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

The mileage east of the Mississippi was increased 9.5 miles during the year by the construc-

joint use of the section of the T. H. & P. RR.. between Logansport and Clymers. West of
the Mississippi, the Excello Branch was added by construction ; but in the length of the lines
in St. Louis there was a net decrease of 0.3 mile.

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-
pany may be inadequate to meet.

$1,384,000.
The remainder of the authorized issue to be disposed of or issued from time to time, as follows : A sufficient
amount, that is to say, $17,100,000 thereof, shall be retained to cover the liens subject to which the new company
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. — This company was organized June 19. 1876, as successor to the Burlington,
Cedar Rapids and Minnesota RR. Co. Included in the main line are 11.39 miles from Manly
Junction to Northwood, leased from the Iowa Central Ry. Co.; also, 12.57 miles of the Min-
neapolis and St. Louis Ry., from Iowa line to Albert Lea, Minn., leased for 999 years on
guaranty of $150,000 7 per cent, bonds, due June 1, 1927. When the bonds are paid off,
that link becomes the property of this company.
The company nominally leases but actually owns the following named railroads, and
guarantees principal and interest of the bonds issued upon them (except the first named, on
which only the interest is guaranteed): Iowa City and Western Ry., Iowa City to What
Cheer and Montezuma, la., 73.02 miles ; Cedar Rapids, Iowa Falls and Northwestern Ry.,
Holland, la., to Watertown, So. Dak., 327.92 miles; Lake Park, Minn., to Worthington.
Minn., 17.71 miles ; Ellsworth, Minn., to Sioux Falls, Dak., 42.50 miles ; Dows to Hay-
field, la., 48.27 miles, and Trosky, Minn., to Quarry, Minn., 5.41 miles— a total of 434.59
miles ; Cedar Rapids and Clinton Ry., Iowa City to Clinton, la., 81.94 miles ; Chicago,
Decorah and Minnesota Ry., Postville Junction to Decorah, la., 23.30 miles. Total miles
leased, including Minneapolis and St. Louis Ry., leased section and trackage, 680.80 miles.
In the case of holders of bonds of the Burlington, Cedar Rapids and Minnesota Co., who
claimed the right to redeem the property and entered suit against this company in further-
ance of that claim, the United States Circuit Court rendered a decision on May, 1880, declar-
668 POOR'S MANUAL — BURLINGTON, CEDAR RAPIDS AND NORTHERN RY. co.
ing that the bonds were illegally issued. On July 26, 1887, this company entered into an
agreement with the Minneapolis and St. Louis Ry. Co. for the use of the latter's tracks from
Hayfield to Forest City, 7.22 miles, for a term of five years.
During the past year, this company purchased the Davenport, Iowa and Dakota ItR.,
extending from Bennett, la., to Davenport, la., on terms given in MANUAL for 1891.

For the past eight years the Consolidation Coal Co. has been accumulating a fund, which,
for the first time, appeared in the annual report for 1884. The fund has been derived from
sales of the coal under several small outlying pieces of the company's property adjoining,
and sold to companies which could more advantageously work *hem ; and from the proceeds
of some surface rights of way through the company's property. The moneys received from
these sources, and the amount set aside as a royalty on the output of 1884, 1885, 1886, 1887,
1888, 1889, and 1890, amounted, December 31, 1890, to $36^,146.10. To this has been added
the interest upon investments in 1891, $21.189.61, plus royalty upon the output of 1891,
taken from earnings, $45,586.07, leaving balance to credit of Royalty Fund, December 31,
1891, $432,921.78. This fund is invested in interest-bearing securities, and it is proposed to
maintain and add to it hereafter, as a representative of the value of the coal which will be
mined in future from the company's property. The company also holds as cash assets
$100,000 1st mortgage bonds of the Cumberland and Pennsylvania RR., acquired in 1875.
Financial Statement, December 81, 1891.— Capital stock, $10,250.000 ; funded debt,
$2,120,000— total. $12,370,000. Of the 1st and 2d mortgage bonds which matured during

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
POOR'S MANUAL — DELAWARE AND HUDSON CANAL CO.
717
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.

RAILROADS LEASED BY THE DETROIT, LANSING AND NORTHERN RAILROAD COMPANY.
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.

DETROIT UNION RAILROAD DEPOT AND STATION COMPANY.
This company was organized to furnish station and depot accommodations for railroads
to Detroit which were not provided with them. The company's property consists of station
grounds, about forty acres, in the city of Detroit, and a railroad through the suburbs of the
city, about 3.33 miles in length, and tracks in the yards, about five miles. It owns freight
house, offices, and other buildings, for both passenger and freight business, also a very large
elevator with a capacity of about a million and a quarter bushels. Its railroad through the
suburbs connects with the Wabash Kailroad, also with the Lake Shore and Michigan South-
ern Railroad. Its freight and passenger houses and station grounds are all leased to the
several companies which occupy them.
Income Account, year ending December 31, 1891. — Gross earnings from all sources, in-
cluding rents and earnings from elevator, $128,956.81. Expenses, including operating ele-
vator, insurance, taxes, etc., $27,573.94, leaving balance of net earnings applicable to payment
of interest and dividends, $101,382.87.
Financial Statement, December 31, 1891.— Capital stock authorized, $2,000,000 ; issued,
$1,650,000. Funded debt consists of $600,000 4 per cent. 50-year bonds, secured by mortgage

lated surplus of $84,558.36. Agreement has been made with the bondholders, at their
request, to convert all the bonds into stock, dollar for dollar. Hereafter, therefore, the com-
pany's property will be unencumbered and with no debt, either funded or floating.

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.
The amount of defaulted coupons of the (2) second mortgage (six coupons, March 1, 1889,
to September 1, 1891, inclusive, $211,620 each series) equalled $1,269,720. Of these it was
proposed to pay in cash half the coupon interest of September 1, 1891, at the rate of 4£ per
cent, per annum, calling for $79,357.50, the remainder of these defaulted coupons to be pay-
able at their face value in new third mortgage bonds, to be issued under the plan and
described below.
The cash requirements of the company under the terms of the plan of reorganization
equalled $1,026,863.2^, as follows :
1. One-half the Amount, Principal and Interest, of Defaulted First Mortgage Coupons $757,618 50
Interest at 5 per cent, from November 1, 1891, to February 15, 1892 11,048 59
2. One-half the said Amount of Interest Due September 1, 1891, on Second Mortgage Bonds 79,357 50
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
For Second Mortgage Defaulted Coupons $1,269,7'20
Less one-half September, 1891, Coupon, Paid in Cash 105,810— 1 ,163,910 00
Judgment of Jay Gould, with Interest 537,383 03
Total $2,728,15626
Balance for Corporate Uses 271,843 74
Total Issue Provided $3,000,000 00
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
764
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."

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
POOR 8 MANUAL — MICHIGAN CENTRAL RR. CO.
779
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.

On January 31, 1891, there were added to the mileage of the Dallas & Waco Division
14.80 miles, Milford to junction of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas, .62 miles north of Hills-
boro'. During the present year it was extended into Hillsboro', with adequate terminals
there.
On April 12, 1891, the East Line and Red River RR. from Jefferson to Greenville (narrow
gauge), 121.35 miles, and from Greenville to McKinney (standard gauge), 31.76 miles, a total
of 153.11 miles, was taken out of the system, and under an agreement with the State of
Texas that the narrow gauge section should be made standard gauge, and, when this is done,
the whole be turned over to a new company called the Sherman, Shreveport and Southern
Railway Co. This line is covered by the deposit of its bonds and stock with the Central
Trust Co. as collateral to the mortgages of the M. K. & T. Ry. Co. of June 1, 1890.
For other details of the history of this company reference should be made to the MANUAL

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.

Extensions of spur tracks in the vicinity of Webb City, aggregating 3.27 miles, were laid during 1891, mak-
ing 2.03 miles of main tracks and 3.97 miles of sidings constructed during the past two years. These; tracks afford
transportation facilities to numerous zinc mines, producing a large tonnage of ore for treatment at local smelters,
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.

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

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.

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.

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."

the New River RR. Co. (of Virginia), the New River RR. Co. (of West Virginia), and the East
River RR. Co. (of West Virginia) into the Norfolk and Western RR. Co. The latter corpora-
tion was a reorganization of the Atlantic, Mississippi and Ohio RR. Co., and the several com-
panies merged into it had been previously organized with the object of building extensions
and branches of its lines. (For further particulars see MANUAL for 1884, pp. 391 and 392.)
The Scioto Valley and New England RR. was purchased February 1, 1890, and the
820 POOR'S MANUAL — NORFOLK AND WESTERN RR. CO. ]
Shenandoah Valley RR. on September 30, 1890. For the purchase of the former the com-
pany issued $3,000,000 preferred stock, and for the latter $2.250,000 common and $4,500,000
preferred.
Work is in progress on the Ohio Extension, from Powhatan to Kenova, 182.87 miles,
and will|be completed during 1892, During the past year the mileage increased 20.62 miles
by the construction of short extensions and branches.
On March 1, 1892, the company assumed under lease the operation of the Lynchburg and
Durham RR,, from Lynchburg to Durham, 115 miles, and the Roanoke and Southern Ry.,
from Roanoke to Winston-Salem, 121.3 miles. Under the arrangement with the Lyuchburg
and Durham, the company agrees to complete its belt line at Lynchburg to a connection with
that road, and to operate that property under a lease for one year from March 1, 1892, during
•which time the company has the option to continue the lease permanently at an annual
minimum rental of $100,000, or to purchase 11,630 shares of the capital stock (out, of a total
issue of 18,763 shares) and its entire issue of $2,012,000 5 per cent, bonds, for $1,433,838.
Under the terms of the temporary lease, this company agrees to operate the road for 65 per
cent, of the gross earnings, exclusive of taxes, which are to be paid out of the 35 per cent,
to be paid to the lessor.
Under the agreeement with the Roanoke and Southern, the company acquires 18, 378 out
of a total issue of 23,964 shares of capital stock, and agrees to operate the road and to pay
over to the lessor any surplus earnings over interest on bonds and cost of such improvement
and additions as may be necessary, this company guaranteeing principal and interest of $2,-
4)41,000 5 per cent, bonds of the lessor.
The company uses the tracks of the Richmond and Petersburg RR. to gain entrance into
Richmond, and leases to the Norfolk Southern RR. Co. trackage facilities over this road
into Norfolk, and the use of the terminal facilities at that point.

$8,000,000, and bills payable to the amount of S4o4.oft4.2r;.
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
tile 100-year mortgage to be applied specifically to the construction of the Ohio extension, were" offered to the
shareholders through a circular dared May 8. 1891. This offer to the shareholders was availed of to the extent of
"25,000 shares, and the remainder was disposed of from time to time during the year.
There were also disposed of during the y.-ar : $(>or>.000 100-year mortga'ge bonds, $400,000 Maryland and
Washington Division bonds, §391.000 equipment mortgage bonds.
The proceeds of these sales were applied to the liquidation of the collateral loan and other indebtedness,
and in payment of the following expenditures for capital accounts : General improvements and additions to the
property, including real estate, sidings, yards, and stations. $31H.3!!0.3f) ; for completion of the Clinch Valley

able conditions to the company.
Of the bonds issued under the equipment mortgage of June 1, 1888. all had been disposed of in the acquisi-

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
line 7 miles in length from New Freedom to Stewartstown, Pa. (opened September 10, 1885),
by the terms of which contract this company will s?cure all traffic controlled by the Stewarts-
town RR. Co., and destined to and from points on this company's main line and its con-
nections.
The Union Railroad (see GENERAL INDEX) since the acquirement of its stock has been
operated distinct from the Northern Central, and the financial results have been kept sepa-
rate. The Rockville Branch is operated as an extension of the Susquehanna Division under
contract. (For fuller information, see MANUAL for 1885, page 261. )
A controlling interest in (not a majority of) the share capital of thif company is owned
by the Pennsylvania RR. Co.

Pennsylvania RR. Co., December 31, 1891, 1,037.26 miles. Gauge, 4 ft. 9 in. Karl, 56, 60,
67, 70, 75, and 85 Ibs., P. RR. standard pattern.
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,
44 miles, and feeder, 22. miles ; and operates, jointly with the Central RR. Co. of New Jersey,
the New York and Lon<r Branch RR. , 38.04 miles. The Rockville Branch, Rockville, Pa.,
to Dauphin, Pa., 2.83 miles, is owned by this company, but operated by the Northern Central
RR. The mileage of that branch is not included in this statement. The Pennsylvania RR.
Co. owns and controls, but operates under a separate corporate management, the Pennsylvania
Canal, extending from Columbia to Nanticoke, with branches from Northumberland to Loyal-
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,
December 31, 1891 :

POOR S MANUAL — PENNSYLVANIA RR. CO.
" The foregoing statements," says the report of the company, li shows a net income of $1 1,971. 84;.'. 07. Alter
deducting the amounts properly chargeable thereto, there is a balance for the year of $9,763,619.88. Out of this
there were paid dividends of 6 per cent,, being an increase in the amount distributed to the shareholders of $L-
•253.724.50, as compared with 1890, and a balance of $2.2r.s.ie,!.:5s was transferred to the credit of profit and loss
making the aggregate thereof at the end of the year $24,334,834.33.
" The above results may be considered quite satisfactory, in view of the depressed condition of the mining
and manufacturing interests, upon the prosperity of which the revenues of the company so largely depend, the
dividends declared, amounting to about seven and a half millions of dollars, exceeding, both in rate and amount,
those paid by any of the large railway systems traversing the same territory occupied by your lines. While the
lii'e* west of Pittsburgh for the same reasons show a decreased volume of tonnage, their net results are bettor
than for 1890. both the Pennsylvania Co. and the newly consolidated Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Chicago and St.
Louis Ry. Co. showing an increased surplus over all liabilities, and the latter company, in the first year of its
operation, being able to pay a dividend on its preferred stock.
Sinking Funds.—" Under the provisions of the consolidated mortgage of the company, §3-24,780 w
apart on the first day of July. 189], out of the net income, as a sinking fund for the redemption of the outstanding
bonds secured by that mortgage. IS7one of the bonds could be purchased under the terms of the trust, and the
amount was placed to the credit of the trustees for investment under the terms of the mortgage. The amount of
$2,532,833.21 in cash and securities is in the fund for the redemption of these bonds.
'• The trustees of the sinking fund for the redemption of the trust certificates issued for the purchase of the
shares of the capital stock of the Philadelphia. Wilmington and Baltimore RR. Co. were able to purchase only
$6,000 of the securities during the past year at the limit fixed in the trust agreement. The total amount of these
certificates purchased and cancelled to December 31, 1891, is $2,091,000, leaving outstanding, $7,909,000.
" Under the provisions of the 4 per cent. Equipment Trust Gold Loan, there was paid to the trustee during
1891 for the sinking fund the sum of $144,850. The trustee was able to obtain $141.000 of the bonds at the price
fixed in the lease ; of the balance, $8,300, together with $7,060.44 remaining from last year, were invested in
equipment under the terms of the contract, and the sum of $638.75 remains in the hands of the trustee for future
investment.
" There are now in the sinking fund for the redemption of the obligations of the various companies forming
the United New Jersey RR. and Canal Co., securities of the par value of §4.343,000, and a cash balance, uninvested
by the trustees, of $91,318.21, making an aggregate of $4.434.318.21.
Funded Debt.—" The funded debt, including mortgages on real estate and ground-rents, is $77,090,126.39, a
decrease of $817,000 during the year, explained as follews :
Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore RR., stock trust certificates redeemed Sli.OOO
Equipment trust gold bonds redeemed 141,000
Mortgages and ground-rents paid 70^000
$£17,000
Capital Stock.— " The amoiv.it of capital stock outstanding at the close of the year was $126,771,800, an in-
crease of $3,689,150, due to the conversion into capital stock of that amount of scrip issued on account of the
dividend of May 29, 1891.
Securities.— " During the year there was an increase in the cost of securities of $1,416,047.55, and an increase
in the par value thereof of $3,325,912.17.
" The entire cost of the securities of other corporations now held by your company is $114,599,781.78, and
the direct revenue received therefrom was $4,852,181.09, which continues ro be in excess of the interest on your
funded debt."

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

interest on its funded debt and provide for the necessary betterment expenditures during
the year ; and this company, under its guaranty of $4,000,000 of their 1st mortgage bonds,
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."
The land department made sales of 19,447 acres of farmlands and 1,975 acres of pine land,
for the aggregate price of $191,093.96, being an average price of $8.92 per acre, and in addi-
tion thereto received from the sale of the timber right on a large body of land, $161,500.
The amount sold to the close of the year, after deducting cancelled contracts, was 542,069
acres, and the aggregate price received therefor was $7,159,052.74, an average of $13.21
per acre.
The assets on hand, December 31, 1891, applicable to the redemption of the first mort-
gage land grant bonds were : Cash in hands of the trustees, $772,035.99 ; in hands of cashier,
$7,763.25 ; bills and accounts receivable in hands of cashier, $416,091.95 ; bills receivable
and securities in hands of trustees, $813,679.44— total, $2,009,570.63.

POOR'S MANUAL — PENNSYLVANIA RB. CO.
During the past year the capital stock outstanding was increased by $3,689,150 to
$126,771,200, due to the conversion into capital stock of that amount of scrip issued on
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,
page 288), and bear interest at 4 per cent. For the payment of these certificates the faith of
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-

The general mortgage bonds are secured, under a deed dated July 1, 1867, by a mortgage
of $35,000,000 on the railroads, real and personal estates, premises, hereditaments, etc., made
to two trustees for the benefit of the holders. The sterling bonds issued under this mort-
gage (£2,781,200) are all coupon, and are indorsed by the London, Asiatic and American Co.,
Limited, of London. Interest payable at Philadelphia or at London Agency. Listed on
Philadelphia and London Stock Exchanges. Also quoted at Dublin, Glasgow, Leeds, and
Liverpool .
The authorized issue of consols of 1905 is $100,000,000, and they are secured on the
entire property and franchises of the company, including rolling stock. Of the amount out-
standing $23,469,000 or £4,693,800 are sterling bonds, issued in London in September, 1873,
and December, 1874, and bear the indorsement of the London, Asiatic and American Co.r
Limited. Interest is payable in London January 1 and July 1 ; principal in London July 1,
1905, by the action of a sinking fund of 1 per cent., which is applied by purchase if the bonds
are under par, or accumulated if they are not. The currency issue is identical with the
sterling in every respect, except that interest is payable June 15 and December 15, nt,
Philadelphia, and that the principal is redeemable at the same place June 15, 1905. All
bonds are for $1,000 each. Listed on Philadelphia and London Stock Exchanges. The

sterling issue is also quoted at Dublin, Glasgow, Leeds, and Liverpool, and the currency issue
at Glasgow.
The authorized issue of the collateral trust loan was $10,000,000, of which $100,000
have been retired by the action of the sinking fund. The bonds are for $1,000 each to
" bearer," and are a direct obligation of the company. They are secured by deposit with the
Provident Life and Trust Co. of Philadelphia, of $13,300,000 bonds of subsidiary lines. The
bonds are not liable to be drawn or compulsorily redeemed before maturity, but a sinking
fund of 1 per cent, will be applied half yearly to their purchase if they can be obtained
below par and interest. They may be registered with the transfer agent at Philadelphia, in
which case no transfer is valid as to principal, except upon the books of the company, unless
the last transfer be to bearer, which restores its tran^ferability by delivery. The bonds are
subject to successive registrations and transfers to bearer at the option of each holder, but
the coupons in all cases remain to "bearer.'! Interest is payable at Philadelphia, in gold,
free of all taxes. Listed on Philadelphia and London Stock Exchanges.
Interest on first mortgage consols of 1919 and Navy Yard mortgage is payable in Phila-
delphia, and the bonds are listed on tbe Exchange of that city.

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.

(steel. 430.42 m.t. 522.04 miles. Canal owned : Bordentown to New Brunswick, and feeder, t'6 miles. The Dela-
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.

Of the consolidated bonds, $1,115,500, and of the construction bonds, $511,000 are in the
sinking fund, and not included in the above list. The first, mortgage bonds have been
wholly retired and the mortgage cancelled. The fourth and consolidated mortgage issues
are secured by a lien on the whole road ; the construction and equipment bonds- are a lien
on the income.
Since the close of the fiscal year this company has executed a new general mortgage to
the Farmers' Loan and Trust Co , New York. N. Y., as trustee, to secure an is^ue of $10,-
000,000 50-year 44 per cent. $1,000 bonds, due January 1, 1942, interest payable January and
July, at the office of the trustee. Of this amount $3,000.000 have already been issued for
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
bonds due the lessee on account of bonds which have been redeemed under the sinking fund
clauses, $890,000— total, $3,000,000. The remainder of the authorized issue ($7,000,000) is
reserved for retirement of outstanding bonds, betterments, etc. These bonds are guaranteed
(by endorsement) by the Pennsylvania RR. Co., for payment of principal, interest, sinking
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-
tion and equipment bonds, therefore, will be made.

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 fifty years, from July 1, 1891, at the rate of 4* per cent, per annum, proposed to permit
the voting control of the stock to remain with this company, as above stated, until the maturity of the extended

History. — Consolidation of the Ohio and Pennsylvania RR. Co. (chartered in Ohio Feb-
ruary 24, 1848 ; in Pennsylvania April 11, 1848), the Ohio and Indiana RR. Co. (chartered in
Ohio March 20, 1850 ; in Indiana January 15, 1851), and the Fort Wayne and Chicago RR. Co.
(organized in Indiana September 22, 1852 ; in Illinois February 5, 1853). Consolidation com-
pleted August 1, 1856, and the whole line put in operation January 1, 1859. On the 1st July,
1859, the company made default in the payment of interest on its bonds, and its road was sold
under foreclosure October 24, 1861. A reorganization was effected February 26, 1862, under
existing title. On June 7, 1869, its road was leased for 999 years from July 1. 1869, to the
Pennsylvania RR. Co. It is now operated by the Pennsylvania RK. Company. The lessee
assumed all the obligations of the lessors, and agreed to pay dividends quarterly (January,
April, July, and October), on the share capital of the lessors, at the rate of 7 per cent.,
annually.
The New Castle and Beaver Valley and the Massdllon and Cleveland RRs. are leased to
this company and operated by the Pennsylvania RR. Co. at rentals equivalent to 40 per cent,
of gross earnings of the respective lines. Operations of these roads are separately reported.

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.

POOR'S MANUAL — PHILADELPHIA AND BEADING BB. CO.
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
1, 1902, have been issued to the amount of $2,000,000 to aid the construction of the Phila-
delphia and Reading Terminal RR., and are guaranteed by that company. They are se-
cured by pledge of $2,196,000 coal land mortgage bonds, deposited with the Pennsylvania
Company for Insurance on Lives and Granting Annuities, of Philadelphia, trustee.

fund C. and I. Co." is less "profit C. and I. Co." and " interest not guaranteed," in 1891.

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.

History. — Consolidation, February 5, 1838, of the Philadelphia and Delaware County,
the Wilmington and Susquehanna. the Delaware and Maryland, and the Baltimore and Port
Deposit RR. Cos. The railroad was completed in July, 1837 ; the viaduct over the Schuyl-
kill in 1838. For subsequent history, see MANUAL for 1891, and for terms under which sub-
sidiary lines are operated, see subjoined statements.
The lines are operated by divisions, as follows : Main line and branches, comprising the
Maryland Division ; Delaware RR., Queen Anne and Kent RR., Delaware and Chesapeake
Ry., Delaware, Maryland and Virginia RR., and Cambridge and Seaford RR., comprising
the Delaware Division ; and the Philadelphia and Baltimore Central RR., operated as the

of the year, and with the Delaware RR. for 4 months, and their mileage is divided propor-
tionately.
Under an arrangement made with the Baltimore and Potomac and the Washington
Southern RRs., those roads have been operated by this company since November 1, 1891.

* 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

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.

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-

and contract delivered for its sale to the Atlantic & Pacific RR. Co., that company paying, as rental, an amount
equal to the interest on the bonds which were issued on said line. This rental amounts to the annual sum of
$436,266, and is* treated as rental received for account of the Southern Pacific RR. of California in the accounting
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.

"PORTLAND AND WILLAMETTE VALLEY Ry.— An arrangement was made, commencing January 1, with the
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
between New Orleans and New York, New York to Galvestou. New Orleans to Havana, via Tampa and Key
"West. Fla. : New Orleans to Bluefields,. Nicaragua and Bocas del Toro. and Morgan City to Vera Cruz, Galveston
and Brazos Santiago, aggregating 8,796 miles : also several lines of inland river steamers, ferries, and transfers in
Louisiana and Texas, aggregating 179 miles, and in the state of California, aggregating 348 miles, making a total
of 9.323 miles of water lines."

Omnibus Lease. — The lease which has received this name includes (with exception of the
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
and floating debt, and to divide the surplus net profit between the parties to the agreement,
in the following proportions :
Southern Pacific Railroad Co. of California 44 per cent.
Southern Pacific Railroad Co. of Arizona 10

•
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
Morgan's Louisiana and Texas RR. and Steamship Co. at 450

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.

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.

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.

funds, $1,049,664.80— net funded debt, $46,325,335.20.
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.
In addition to the miles operated by the S. P. Co.. 1,474.54 miles, the bonds issued cover the line from Mojave
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.

account of new road amounting to $3,514,000, of which $878,000 are held in the company's treasury available for
betterments. Six per cent, bonds were redeemed and canceled with the proceeds of land sales to the amount of

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.

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 any time through official channels into the status of
Dew 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

ties may likewise be sold by the committee, provided, however, that if there is no default by the railway com-
pany, unanimous action by the committee shall be necessary for any sale except of bonds. The railway company

chasing or inviting offers at not above par and accrued interest, or by drawing at par and interest, or by pro-rata
payment on all the notes, or otherwise as the committee may direct. Listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

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.

April 1. 1890, provides that if with the provisional division of rates established thereunder, the Union Pacific,
Denver & Gulf Ry. Co. does not derive sufficient, net earnings and income to enable it to pay the interest on its
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,
for the payment of such interest, all of its net earnings from whatever source derived. The Union Pacific,
Denver & Gulf Co. failed during the year under the divisions fixed and in force to earn the amount of its interest
by the sum of $464,089.24. Accordingly, the accounts of the respective companies were adjusted for the year
endics: December 31. 1891, and the amount appearing in the income accounts, respectively, of the Union Pacific
Ry. Co. and the Union Pacific, Denver & Gulf Ry. Co. was paid and received in settlement thereof.
The consolidated mortgage 5 per cent, bonds are payable December 1, 1939. Both principal and interest are
•expressed to be paid in United States gold coin. The iss'ue is limited to $25,000 a mile of single track, and $35.-
000 a mile of double track (including underlying mortgage bonds), and to further amounts upon pledging with
the trustee of the mortgage certain bonds and securities as provided in the mortgage. The retirement of under-
lying mortgage bonds in exchange for bonds of this issue is provided for. Bonds may be paid before maturity at
1*05 and accrued interest, after notice as required by the mortgage, but only upon payment of the entire issue.
The prompt payment of interest on the first days of" June and December of each year is guaranteed by the Union
Pacific Ry. Co. under a traffic agreement. The mortgage does not provide for a sinking fund. GRENVILLE M.

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.

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

History. —Incorporated February 17, 1881. The charter coalers large powers on the
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

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.

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

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.
LINES OWNED OR LEASED BY THE CANADIAN PACIFIC RY. Co.
ATLANTIC AND NORTHWEST RAIL.W AY.— Incorporated with power to construct a railway
and telegraph line from the Atlantic seaboard, within the limits of the Dominion, to a port on the east side of
Lake Superior, na Lake Megantic, Sherbrooke, Montreal. Ottawa, and French River : also to construct a part
thereof across the State of Maine ; and to acquire any railway, either in the United States or Canada, between
these points. Under these powers the company, on November 2, 1886. purchased the line of the International
Railway of Canada, with its interest in the International Railway of Maine, and, having assumed the obligations
of that company, obtained the subsidy of §250,000 per annum for 20 years, granted by the Dominion Government

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.

History.— On August 12, 1882, the Grand Trunk Railway Co. and the Great Western
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
70 per cent, of the gross receipts, the Grand Trunk undertaking that if the remaining 30 per
cent, does not suffice to pay 5 per cent, interest on the $1,680,000 bonds of the C. S. & M.
RR. Co. it will surrender a further 25 per cent., or such lesser amount as may be necessary,
of the gross receipts from traffic interchanged between the lines.

class, 378 ; 2d class, 230 ; emigrant, 5), 613 ; dining, 3 ; parlor, 6 ; sleeping, 4 ; smoking, 9 ;

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.
The following statement shows the proceeds of the settlement of the subsidy in United

Description of funded debt :
Priority Consolidated Mortgage 5 per cent. 50-year $ and £ gold bonds, dated July 1, 1889,
due 1939, interest payable January and July, in Boston and London. These bonds are coupon,
with privilege of registration, and are redeemable at 110 per cent. They are secured by a
deposit with the Boston Safe Deposit and Trust Co., trustee, of 1st mortgage 4 per cent,
bonds, by pledge of about $20,000,000 (Mexican money) subsidy, to which the company was
POOR'S MANUAL — MEXICAN CENTRAL RY. CO.

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.
Consolidated Mortgage 4 per cent. 30-year $1,000 gold bonds, coupon, with privilege of
registration, due July 1, 1911, interest payable January and July in Boston, Mass. These
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
consolidated income bonds. They are secured on same terms as the priority mortgage bonds.
First Consolidated Income 3 per cent. 50-year $1,000 coupon gold bonds, due January 10,
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.

Completed : Puebla to Tecomavaca. Mex 139 miles.
History. — Incorporated May 9, 1889, to build a narrow gauge road from Puebla to Oaxaca,
under a concession granted by the Mexican Government. The line will be divided into three
sections: (1), Puebla to Tehuacan, 79 miles; (2), Tehuacan to Tecomavaca, 61 miles; and
(3), Tecomavaca to Oaxaca. First two sections as above opened August 25, 1891, but
operated by the contractors until March 31, 1892, on the terms of paying the company
as rent the difference between the amount of subvention accrued and the amount required to
pay interest and dividend on the first issue of debenture stock and preference shares, the
debenture stock sinking fund and expenses of administration. On the completion of each
section of 40 kilometres, the company is entitled to an annual subvention from the govern-
ment for a period of 15 years of $2,400 per kilometre, the subvention amounting for the
first two sections to $537,600 per annum ; the subvention in the third section will amount
to an additional sum of .$343,200 per annum.
Financial Statement.— Capital authorized, £2,000,000, in shares of £10 (half being ordi-

debenture stock.
Preference shares to the amount of £500,000 and £600,000 debenture stock were issued at
par in May, 1889, by Linton, Clarke & Co., London. The mortgage debenture stock is secured
by first mortgage on the line from Puebla to Oaxaca. It also receives a special hypothe-
cation for the service of the loan of the subvention received from the Mexican Government ;
interest payable April and October, and guaranteed by the contractors during construction.
Stock repayable at 105 on April 1, 1905, by the operation of a sinking fund, subject to the
company's right, on six months' notice, to pay off the whole at 110 per cent. The balance
of the debenture stock and preference shares and all of the ordinary shares are to be taken
by the contractors, and will be issued against certificates for work done.

authorized ihe construction and operatio-i of a line of railroad and telegraph between the

main line to some point on the Gulf of Mexico between Matarnoras and Vera Cruz ; also
another line to the Pacific Ocean at some point between Mazatlan and Zihuatanejo, and also
such, branches as the company may deem desirable from each side of the lines above men-
tioned, said branches to be subject to the approval of the Department of Public Works, and
not to exceed 100 miles each in length.
It is stipulated in said concessions that the road and its appurtenances shall be exempt
from taxation for fifty years, and that materials required for the construction, operation and
repair of the road shall be free from import or other duties. No subvention is granted, but

" 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"

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,-
1128 POOR'S MANUAL — MISCELLANEOUS CORPORATIONS.
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.-
63 ; all expenses of administration, including taxes, $51,707.39 — total, $271,248.02. Net cash

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

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

" 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

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

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,

this was increased from time to time by the acquisition of other lines, and by the payment

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.

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.

Complete Census of 1S9O.
RAND, McNALLY & CO.'S
Business Atlas
AND
SHIPPERS' GUIDE
OF THE
UNITED STATES, CANADA AND MEXICO,
WITrf MAPS OF ALL FOREIGN COUNTRIES.
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

RE-PLACING FROGS AND BRIDGE GUARDS
THE TILDEN IMPROVED WRECKING FROGS for all Rail-
roads, the only strictly reliable invention in use for replacing
\any derailed roUlnp stock.
Price of Special Steel or Extra Heavy, for
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
prepay free to -Missouri River.
»i«-iirht of Extra Improv. <l sire, about ISO pounds per puir.
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.

The only Blacksmith Forge in
the market with a 16-inch Fan
and 33x45-inch Hearth, with
sloped bottom Coal Box large
enough to hold one-half bushel
of coal, made purposely to give
every advantage a blacksmith
can possibly have by building a
fire out of brick or stone. Will
warrant this Forge to do the
heaviest Blacksmith Work in
Railroad Shops, Country Black-
smith Shops,Carriage and Wagon
Makers' Shops, and every kind
of a large blacksmith fire that
can be needed.
r

ble for one cutter to
cut MORE than
another, consequent-
ly a great saving in
dies, and always cuts
a perfect thread.

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

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.

plant, and stand unique, from the fact that they have their own Ore and Coal Mines, Blast Furnaces,
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
to none, and at the same time the different grades of Steel are always of the same uniform quality.
