THE CT'.VrU IL tt.4IUUI.tU. Extract. From President YVnd ley's lie port. ♦ II ..,1...- THK FINANCIAL CONDITION OK THE HOAD. Ornci of C. It. It. & B’tc’a Cos. of Ga. ) Savannah, Ga, Sep. Ist, 187 C. j 'lo the Stockholders: The operations of your company for the twelve months ending on the 31st of August, show earnings as follows: Central Railroad, Savannah divt alon $1,384 ,881 13 Central lUilroad, Atlanta division.. 600 113 S3 Central Railroad Bank 66,564 87 Southwestern Railroad 048,060 07 Upson County Railroad 8,402 08 Total for roads and bank $2,657,096 97 The expenses for the same period have been for Contral Railroad, Sa vannah division $792,708 05 Central lUilroad, Atlan ta division 337,501 85 Central lUilroad Bank.. 17.1*0 33 Southwestern Railroad. 478,084 79 Upton County Railroad. 9.106 17—1,635,131 10 Leaving net $1,021,965 87 For particulars in reference to the earn ings of the road operated, you are respect fully referred to the General Superintend ent’s report, as it would be only repetition to go over the matter again. He refers particularly to the causes which have re sulted in the very considerable falling off in the earnings of the road for the past year. Those that are the natural sequence of short crops, are unavoidable, and should be borne with due resignation, but for sen sible men, capable of being intrusted with large invested interests, to be engaged in a suicidal war, is passing strange. "While such a course is most earnestly condemn ed by the board, with the assurance that this company will do all in its power to rectify the evil, it cannot stand idly by and see its business taken by competing lines without an effort to retain it, even at a loss. With the reduction of earnings it will be seen that the expenses have been some what lessened, but at the date of the last report it was not anticipated that much more could be accomplished in this direc tion, yet every effort has been and will continue to be rnado to work the roads with the utmost economy, having in view the efficient conduct of its business. The maturity of the one million of bonds that were issued for rebuilding the road, and certain other securities of the Southwestern, Muscogee, and Mobile & Girard Railroads, were referred to in the last report. The entire one million of our own bonds have been taken up and the mortgage cancelled. In addition to the payment of those bonds, we have taken up the following obligations for which the company were directly and indirectly responsible: Steamship bonds referred to la previ ous reports. $300,000 Macon aud Western lUilroad bouds 33,000 Southwestern lUilroad bonds 16,000 Muscogee Railroad bonds 168,600 Mobile and Girard Railroad bonds, endorsed $206,000 Mobile and Girard Railroad bonds, not endored 64,500- —209,600 By a resolution of the board it has been determined not to sell exceeding $3,500,- 000 of our tripartite bonds. It will be seen by the statement of the bookkeeper and Cnshier that there have been sold and exchanged $3,222,000 of these bonds, leav ing yet to be disposed of, under the reso lution referred to, the sum of $278,000. The indebtedness of the company beyond this it is expected will be paid i'rom the earnings of"the road. The bonds maturing up to, and includ ing the year 1890, for which the company is liable, are as follows: Year. Description. Amount. 1877 Southwestern Railroad. $ 4,000 1878 Southwestern Railroad .. $ 21,000 1818 Montgomery and West point Railroad : . 175.000 196,000 1879 Southwestern Railroad.. 49,000 1880 Southwestern Railroad.. 122,000 1880 Macon and Western lUil road 117 000 239,000 1881 Southwestern Railroad.. 26.000 1881 Montgomery and West Point lUilroad 200,000 236,000 1882 Southwestern Railroad.. 72,000 18831 188 i 1885 }■ Nothing due. 1886 I 1887 ) 1888 Montgomery and West Point Railroad. 22.5000 1888 Western Railroad, first mortgage 300,000 322,000 1889 Mobile and Girard Rail road, second mortgage. 300,000 1890 Western Railroad, second mortgage 679,000 $1,987,600 An analysis of the operations of the company for the past year will show that, after paying all interests and rents, with expenditures of all kinds, a surplus of $437,285.83 remained, which has been ab sorbed in the payment of liabilities of the company, thereby rendering the stock really that much more valuable, and it will readily be seen that this is equal to 6.83 per cent, on the whole capital stock. The companies’ interest in the steam boats on the Chattahoochee river contin ues in a reasonably prosperous condition. The boat that was put oil the Tombigbee river, in which tb* citizens of Columbus, Mississippi, are interested, lias not done as well as was expected. Immediately upon entering the river it encountered strong and determined competition from the Mobile aud Ohio Railroad, and there lias thus far been no connection between it and the railroad at Deinopolis as was expected. The Jew* of New' York City. Nevr York Correspondence of the St. Louis Re publican. Tho Israelites are a numerous, op ulent and powerful body on this island. It is stated that there are more than 50,000 in the community, and a very large proportion are pros perous, while nearly all of them are in comfortable circumstances. Some of them are exceedingly rich—no one can teli how rich—for they keep their own financial secrets, and are gener ally unwilling that the public should know what they are worth. I have been informed that there are one hundred Hebrews hero whose estates are valued at $1,000,000 and upwards. The Israelites are divided into the Old Jews and the Modern Jews, the latter having more freedom of opin ion and discarding many of the an cient traditions of the synagogue. There are in town some twenty or more synagogues, some of them very handsome and costly, while the ma jority are plain and unpretending. The rabbis, or priests, are very dif ferently paid. Dr. Gotthell, of the Temple Emmanu-El, has a salary of SIO,OOO, the highest given to any rab bi in America. Dr. Elmporn, of the Lexington Avenue Temple, Dr. Huebsch, of another synagogue in the same avenue, Dr. H. S. Jacobs, of the Thirty-fourth street syna gogue, and several other doctors, have each $5,000. The general sala ries are much lower, ranging from SI,OOO to $4,000. It is three hundred years since the violin rose from the obscurity which still envelops its invention. Three hundred years since the young men in boarding houses began learning to play the fiddle. Three hundred years! And yet, gracious heavens! people sav this world is as cold and heart less and full of hateful and revenge ful feelings. A world that has en dured fiddling for three hundred years, not only endured it, but per mitted it, suffered fiddlers to increase and multiply and fiddle! Heaven cannot help but be merciful to such a forbearing, tender, much-endutiDg old world. It ought to go a little light even on Col. lugersoll. Ex. LAWYERS. W. Li. LATHAM.

All the farmers were of the “well to do” sort, and some of them, who have turned their attention to fruits and market gardening, have grown rich. The soil is loam, varying from sandy to clayey, and surface gently undulating, intersected with small streams aud occasional wet meadows, in which deposits of peat or muck are stored, sufficient to fertilize the whole upland surface, after it has been exhausted of its natural fertility. 1 . It is certainly one of the most extensive fertile tracts, in an almost level position, aud suitable condition for pleasant farming, that we know of this side of the Western prairies. We found some of the oldest farms apparently just as profitably productive as when first cleared of forest fifty or a hundred years ago. The geologist would sown discover tho cause of this continued fertility. The whole country is a marine deposit, and all through the soil we found evidences of calcareous substances, generally m the form of indurated calcareous marl, showing many distinct forms of ancient shells, of the tertia ry formation; and this marly substance is scattered all through the soil, in a very comminuted lorm, and in the exact condition most easily assimilated by such plants as the farmer desires to cultivate.
