Magistrate Ddherty had a variety of cases before him at central station police hearing this morning. A number of those up for trial had Just been released from Jail after having served their usual holiday sentence. Thomas White and James McDonough and Peter Howard had been arrested by Officer Teager on Liberty street yesterday as suspicious persons.

White had complained to the officer that he had been robbed of $13 by the other two men. They belonged to the crowd that has been causing the oolice considerable trouble in that vicinity recently. While claimed to be a riverman. He arrived In the city-yesterday from a trip to Cincinnati, where he had gone on the last rise. As soon as he reached port he was paid off and then started In to celebrate.

After imbibing freely he awoke in a Liberty street saloon and his money was g-jne. He had been with McDonough and Howard, but was too drunk to know who robbed him. He afterward found $5 of the $13 lost on the floor of the saloon. AH the men were discharged, as there was no evidence against them. Frank Wright was arrested on Wylle avenue by Officer Sullivan for begging.

Edward Cushm.in, a German.who failed to stick to beer, but began to drink whisky and got drunk, was arrested on Wvlie avenue last night. He was dls-nhnrrnil with a renrlmand this morning.

Council Tries to Settle tlie Trouble Between the Companies. Sharpsburg council again grappled with the controversy between the Keystone and Vigilant hose companies, and their chief, W.

C. Meyer, last night. The trot ble is of long standing and caused con slderable bitter feeling between the, par ties interested. The three companies of the borough could not settle their dlffer- nn In committee, as nronosed by coun ell, at their last meeting, so a final disposition was made last night. Councils passed a resolution allowing the two upper companies to answer all alarms up to and Including box 82, at the corner of Tenth street ana west r-enn railroad.

The trouble started from an order issued by the chief that only his own company, the Citizens, should answer all alarms. The two remaining companies were ordered to hold themselves In readi ness for a second alarm, except wnen the fire was in their own district, and then they were to answer the first nlurrn. This order did not please the boys, as they were as anxious as the Other company to snow orr meir trainm. Now that council has seen lit to give them a little more scope the boys are satisfied, in spite of last night's resolution there is still some feeling. A few nlehts aeo one of the firemen was in a saloon slightly Intoxicated.

Chief Meyer told him that he need not again enter tne hose house. The chief claimed that he Jiad a right to dictate at all times, according to the rules and regulations of the fire department. The Keystone members dispute this claim of the chief's. I.ast night the Keystone company appeared before council and asked an Interpretation of the rules. A heated discussion was the result of the disagreement between the chief and the company.

Many hard words passed between the different counellmen, but the Interpretation of the rules was not forthcoming. Until this Is done the rivalry between company No. 1 and the upper companies will continue at a red hot heat. The citizens of the borough are anxious that the trouble be settled as soon as possible, and this may result In a special meeting being held next week. Row About This New Tork, Jan.

Indeed, the Belmont family are more than disgusted over the Intended union, and make no attempt toward hiding their feelings on the subject. Plttsburgers In Washington. Washington, Jan. The following western Pennsylvanlans are in Washington: S. Morris, H.

PERSONAL AND OTHER NEWS, The preliminary report on the Income account of railways of the United States for the year ending June 30, 1805, has been prepared by 11.

C. Adams, statistician of the. Interstate commerce commission. There are 650 railroads, aggregating 104,529.38 miles, or 92 per cent, of the aggregate mileage In the I'nlted States covered by the preliminary report. While the figures given in the report have rot been put to the finnl test, Statistician Adams does not think the final report will vary materially.

The total of gross earnings upon this mileage during the year ending June 1H05, was ,003,022,803, of which was earned by the passenger service (Including mail arid express), and was earned by the freight service. The operating expenses for the year wore which, being deducted from total gross earnings, leaves an Income from operation of Reducing the figures to a mileage basis, the report gives tiie following: "Tiie decrease In the earnings of the passenger service per mile of line for the Vur covered by this report, as compared with the previous year, was $177. The decrease in the prevfiws year, as compared with the year l.V.t.i, was $150, making a decrease In the passenger earnings per mile of line of $330 for the fiscal year 1K05, as compared with the fiscal year 1SH3. It Is believed, however, that this comparison does not accurately measure the Influence of commercial depression upon railway traffic during the year ending June 30, 1X05. inasmuch as the fall in the earnings or passenger service during the fiscal year 1S04 was less than it should have been, In view of the prevailing businoss depression, on account of the unusual traffic Incident to the world's Columbian exposition.

"The earnings of the freight service for the fiscal year ending lhOS show an Increase over the earnings of the prevlnus year of $140 per mite of line. It should be remembered, however, that the previous report shows a decrease of $iioi per mile of lino for the fiscal year 1804. These figures Indicate more perfectly than do the corresponding figures of passenger traffic, the Influence of commercial depression upon the earning capacity of the railways. While they do not show that the country had on June 80, 1S05, entirely recovered from the depression of general industries, they certainly warrant the conclusion that the downward tendency has been arrested." The decrease In the operating expenses for the fiscal year of 1W)4, as compared with IkO'I, was $713 per mile of line; the corresponding decrease for the year ending June 1WI5, as compared with the fiscal year 1M, was but $14 per mile of line. This Indicates that the reduction In operating expenses which, as shown in the final report for the year ending June 30, 104, occasioned a reduction of 04,000 In the number of employes.

It should be remembered, however, In the comparison that the year IMll and 1WK2 especially the latter, were unusually prosperous years for the railways so far as the volume of traffic Is concerned, but that the year 1803 witnessed a great commercial panic, and that the years 1W4 and 1805 are properly characterized as years of commercial depression. According to the report the dividends paid by operating lines for the year ending June 30, 1805, were $53,135,545, as against the previous year. This shows a falling off In dividends of 240, notwithstanding an Increase In net earnings during the year ot $5,217,548. It appears that the railroads of the United States Incurred a deficit of ,075,303 ending the year June 30, 18iir. The preliminary report closes by saying: "So far as dividends and surplus are concerned, the figures In this report are not very encouraging to railway investors; but these figures do not accurately reflect unon the business of the roads.

The statistics of gross earnings are a much better criterion, and these show that the depression to which the business of the country has been subjected is drawing to a close. It must not be overlooked that dividends declared, and the sur plus or deficit upon the Income account, reflect the financial policy of management as well as the. earning capacity of the lines." The report of Baggage Agent Jenkins at the union station for the year 1805 shows a large Increase over the preceding year. During the year 820,011 pieces of baggage were received and forwarded throuKh the union station over the vari ous roads. The Pennsylvania railroad for warded 108.814: received.

Local officials of freight and passenger departments report the new Joint Traf fic association agreement, which went Into effect January 1, to be working like a charm, so far. They are becoming accustomed to operating tinder the new provisions. It has not yet been decided what disposition will be made of the Centra? and Trunk Line Traffic associations, which formerly made rates for the territory now covered by tho new association, but It Is believed they will be continued In some reorganized form for the governing of local competitive busi ness, locai onteialB will leave to-night for Chicago to attend a meeting to-mor row of the Central Traffic and the Chicago ana unio itiver associations.

An ef fort will be to consolidate the two organizations and map out work for the new association. It is predicted, however, that the consolidation cannot be effected. The reduced two-day excursion rates and the introduction of the ltMrlp detachable tickets for suburban passengers on the Allegheny Valley railroad have greatly Increased travel between Pittsburir nd Klttannlng.

New Rnles Adopted to Qualify Pa- pils for Admission. McKeesport, Jan. one of the 10 members of the board of education were present at the meeting last1 night. The seven recommendations of the principals In the recent high school troulilo were taken up. The first, second, third and seventh recommendations were the fourth and fifth amended and the sixth knocked out entirely.

The fourth recommendation was that a minimum of 110 per cent, be established for the present year, and hereafter 05 per provided one year more be added. It was amended by making the minimum passing mark 00 per cent, without any reference to any additional year.
