The report la Issued In accordance with the iby-lawa of the company and under the direction of the board of directors. Following are tht more Important details of the statement: EARNINGS. From passenger depart-, mcnt, From freight department 12,309,953.9 From rents, 293,726.26 Total gross earnings from operations, $27,901,735.79 Less operating expenses (68.33 per $19,064,027.77 Income from $8,837,708.02 Income from other sources, as dividends on stocks owned, interest on bonds owned, dividends on stocks leased and miscel-f lany, $234,825.92 Total income, $9,072,533.94 Deductions from Income, as taxes, Interest and rentals, $5,593,545.20 Leaving a' balance of Income applicable to dividends of $3,478,988.74 Dividends paid on 900 at 10 per $3,794,290.00 Deficit for the twelve months, $315,301.26 In explaining this deficit the state ment remarks: These figures refer to the same property and the same mile age reported last year. Stockholders will be gratified to note an increase of 9 per cent. In the gross revenue of the properties which is main ly due to the Improvement in the busi ness situation.

It will also be observed that against the revenue of the year ending June 30, 1895, five dividends of 2 rper cent, each have been charged. Thi3 will hereafter bring the date of the pay. ment of dividends upon the last instead of the first day of a given quarter. Large charges to operating expenses have been made to represent depreciation, as has been usual. Among these charges are the following: 45 locomotives, $440,500.00 110 thirty-ton coal cars, 68,251.95 100 thirty-ton box cars, 59,311.63 Electric equipment, 25,918.49 Payments on account six car floats, 105,143.50 New sidings, Improvement and enlargement of station facilities, 1 1 131,853.99 Total, $830,979.56 The statement further remarks: At the date of the last report the capital stock of the company was $37,942,900.

By an exchange of 220 shares of Air Line stock, 112 shares of Shore Line, 171. shares of Naugatuck, 1,728 shares of Housatonic and 39 shares of the New Haven and Derby, the company's capital stock has been Increased by $57,100 (netting so that the capital stock of the company is now The subscriptions to the original issue of debenture certificates amounted to $13,188,240, of which $13,122,800 were taken. Of those not taken by stockholders $27,200 were sold by order of the directors (netting the company and making the first issue of deben-, ture certificates $13,150,000. The 'policy of the company to acquire by exchange or purchase upon an equitable basis the stocks and obligations of its leased lines which constitute a fixed charge upon its 6wn earnings has been continued, as will appear by the tables furnished. Prior to the lease the Old Colony Railroad company was authorized to acquire the stock held by private parties in the Old Colony Steamboat company (Fall River line) and to issue its own shares in exchange therefor.

This has been accomplished during the year, and in accordance with the Jaws of the commonwealth of Massachusetts the Old Colony Railroad company issued 3,102 of its shares in exchange. As dividends upon these shares become a fixed charge upon this company's earnings, under its lease, your directors authorized the purchase of the entire issue, which this company now holds in Its treasury. It will be noted that 18,233 shares of the Providence and Stonington Steamship company (Providence and Stonington lines) out of 20,000 shares constituting its capital stock have now been acquired by this company. Under the terms of an act of the general assembly of Connecticut, approved May 17, 1895, this company has also acquired 11,552 shares of the stock of the Shepaug, Litchfield and Northern Railroad company. It has also purchased 850 shares of the preferred and 577 shares of the common' stock and $74,000 of the bonds of the Stamford Street Railroad.

company, and proposes to develop that property in close relationship to the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad. It has also acquired $200,000 of the bonds of the Fall River Railroad company, a leased line. To pay for the above, and for improvements, including Providence terminals, a floating debt has been incurred, which amounted on the 30th of June to $4,650,000. To provide for thie, for improvements and for the general requirements of the company, your directors, on the 31st day of May, 1S95, voted an increase of 25 per cent, of capital stock to stockholders and of con-vertable debenture certificates to debenture certificate holders as of the 1st day vf October, 1895. The capital stock being and the issue of de-beture certificates being increases amount to $9,500,000.

and respectively, of So far as the proceeds -of these issues are Invested In the stoek and bonds of I'-asi'd Hues, or otherwise, or are used for the payment of floating debt, fhe burden upon the company' revenues will not be Increased by the full amount required for the payment of dividends and Interest upon them. It Is not anti cipated that this Increase of a took and bonds will interfere with the continuance of dividends at the rate of 2 per cent, quarterly. The New England Railroad company, at the writing of this statement, Is In pomessl.vn of the property formerly known as the New York and New England, its lines reach many points In southern New England which are also served by the roads of tills company. At most of three points separate organizations are maintained. It is apparent that if the management of the two properties Is unified, the expense of each can be diminished materially by the consolidation, upv.n equitable terms of agencies, yards and freight houses at these points, and also that the cus tomers of each company can enjoy the benefits of the facilities belonging to both.

The properties will then yield the best results to each corporation and to the public. Your directors have therefore accept ed an offer for the delivery prior to the annual meeting of a majority of the capital stock of the New England Railroad company, and have also purchased $5,000,000 of its new 5 per. cent, mortgage bonds. But it is not proposed to make any consolidation with or lease of the New En-gland Upon the New York division the four track work has been continued. That at South Norwalk is well advanced and that through Greenwich will be completed at the time of the annual meeting.

The general assembly of the State of Connecticut, at its January session, directed Ithe elimination of all grade crossings of the New York division through the City of Bridgeport, and established a commission representing the City of Bridgeport, to which it gave power to agree in behalf of the city as to the manner, plans, methods and time in which Ithe work shall be done, and the proportion of the cost thereof to be paid by the city and by the rail road company, subject to the approval of the railroad commissioners of the state. The power of this commission will expire on the 22d of December, after which time Ithe railroad commissioners are invested with absolute authority. Negotiations have already been commenced with the special com mission which it is hoped will result in an agreement. If not, the railroad commissioners will be asked for orders that the work can be commenced early in 1896. The work on the Providence termin als, at Brockton, and on 'the Boston and Providence road, has been con tinued.

i Early in February, by concurrent ac tion of the directors of this company and of its lessor, the Old Colony Railroad company, it was determined to ap ply electricity to Ithe operation of the Nantasket Beach railroad, seven miles In length. A power house was erected and equipped with two tandem com pound engines of 820 nominal horse power each, direct coupled with multi polar generators rated at 500 kilowatts each. The trolley system was adoplted, the wire itself being rolled in the section of the figure 8 that It might be suspended mechanically. The only insulation provided was that furnished by hard pine posts, located between the tracks, which were laid with fifteen feet The equipment was of standard type, 36-inch steel tired wheels, iron truck with standard air brake (the compressed air being fur nished by independent electric motors), the open cars fully equipped weigh ing 60,000 pounds each. The road was thus operalted from June 30, 1895.

The experiment has demonstrated that power generated in a stationary plant and transmitted by electrical agency can be successfully used in the operation of a standard railroad. The current expenses for fuel indicate thnt this result Is economically obtained. Power thus transmitted is capable of indefinite subdivision, and therefore most available for frequent car service. The commercial result depends only on the durability of electrical equipment. The use of the existing power station will be extended presently, and it is probable (that electricity will be prompt ly adopted by the company at other poin'ts on its lines.

With a road free from grade crossings it is not too much to expect its ultimate application wher ever the business justifies a frequent train service, and ilt is to be hoped without the use of an overhead trolley. Of the death of Morris. director, the statement says: The Hon Luzon B. Morris, elected a director of the company September 8, 1894, was sud denly called from the usefulness and activity of his life on August 22, 1895. Having filled with absolute integrity and unswerving fidelity many places of trust in various relations, we had anticipated great benefits to the company from his connection with it, and regret that our association with him has been so summarily terminated.

Formally announcing the election of Arthur D. Osborne of New Haven to fill the vacancy made by Judge Morris' death, the statement closes, with the signature of Charles P. Clark, the president. Following the staltement Is the report of the finances of the road as shown by the books of the treasurer. INTERESTING ITEMS.

FAST TIME RECENTLY AND NEW ENGLAND'S GREAT RAILWAY. A gentleman who has traveled a great deal both In this country and Europe, and made a good deal of a study of the railway watching records of various descriptions, writes to the "Journal and Courier" calling attention to the fact that although the newspapers have had a great deal to say in regard to fast time records recently made not only by a railway in this country, but Kwo of the great English lines, that New England's great railway, the New York, New Haven and Hartford, was by no means behind the times in fast time records, and that the Bay State Limited, which runs every day except Sunday between Boston and New York, each direction, via the Shore Line, in exactly five hours, is perhaps not behind other great rec ords in certain distances travelled, and that taken as a whole it is certainly a very fast train. The actual running time on this train is from forty-eight to fifty miles per hour, and some of the miles are made in a minute, or even less, thus maintaining practically as high a speed as has ever been attained in this country. Naturally it is gratifying to feel that New England is not behind other parts of the world in this era of rapid travel, and there Is no doubt of one thing- that there is no line in the universe that can with safety operate trains at a higher speed than the Consolidated With 'the completion of its new road, as it might be termed, between New- York and New Haven, there will be some records made which we think will astonish the world. Our correspondent also calls particular attention to the fact that there is no dtlier road In the United States that begin to give the efficient service that the New Haven does.

Liter ally a time table between New York and New Haven Is considered unnecessary. So frequently do the trains run that anyone requiring to take trains bdtween those places only need go to I he station and take the first train running out, while the through service between New York and Boston is the most complete of any two cities the same distance apart in (the world. A recent trip was made 'by the writer to 'Stockbridge and Lenox, over the Berkshire division 'of the New Haven, for the first time sine? the New Haven acquired the old Housatonic line, and could not fail to note t'he greait improve ment shown in the service, both as regards equipment and time schedule, as well as increased number of trains, showing that the aim of the Consolidated road has been, and is, to constantly improve its service for the benefit of the traveling public. In fact our correspondent, who has trav eled in nearly every state in the union, and very largely throughout Europe, sums up in his letter by stating that there is certainly no road in which one can feel greater safety and more reason- ably sure of being on time, or in fact. in every sense of Ithe word more satisfied than when on the great New Ha ven road.

A Game Expected -1 lie Coining Big Dinner nt. Sherry's In New YorkCollege Athlete's The Big Content at New York To-inoi-row A Word orTivoAbnu "BrinV Thovne. It is thought that before Sunday there will be some sort of a Yale-Har vard football ultimatum announced. The managers of both teams state that after October 5 their schedules will be completed, and that no games will be arranged after that date.

Yale and Harvard have three dates left open for about the middle of No vember, which were kept to allow for the possibility of a Yale-Harvard game. It is not Ithe. custom in this country to have banquets after the big athletic meetings of the year, although it has long been in vogue, in England. Perhaps the most noteworthy dinner of the kind ever held in this country will take place aflter the Yale-Cambridge International Varsity meet on Saturday next. The dinner is to be held at Sherry's.

Sir Julian Paun-cefote, the British ambassador, will present the medals' with appropriate remarks to the winners. Among those present will be Chauncey M. Depew, Ithe Duke of Marlborough, John Jacob Astor and many other well known men. The British ambassador, the Duke of Marlborough, William C. Whitney, Cornelius Vanderbllt, Chauncey M.

Depew and hundreds of other New Yorkers and distinguished visitors will attend the games, which will be the social athletic event of the year. The demand for tickets has- been unprecedented, and applications have been received from towns' as far west as Chicago. Judge Henry B. Howland of New York has been chosen as the presiding officer, and the following speakers have been selected: Chauncey M. Depew of New York, Judge William K.

Townsend of New Haven, Charles H. Sherrill, Yale '89 of New York; Frederick B. Horan, captain of ths Cambridge track team, and Lewis P. Sheldon, captain of the Yale team. It Is expected that after the formal toasts have been responded to there will be several Informal addresses.

The Invited guests will be the speakers, and the members of the two competing teams. "FATHER BILL" CURTIS WILL REFEREE THE YALE CAMBRIDGE GAMES. WiMiam B. Curtis will referee the Yale-Cambridge games at Manhattan Field Saturday. Mr.

Last evening's New York Mall and Express says: "Without question, the best known of the college football captains of to-day is 'Brink' Thome of Yale. This, of course, does not imply that, like Heffelfinger, he stands out in relief as a player without an equal, but simply that he has been longer and more prominently before the football public than any of this year's captains. "As Instances, I might quote Williams of Pennsylvania, Brewer of Harvard, Wyckoff of Cornell and Mudd of Virginia. But, whereas Carl Williams is a player of much merit, and Brewer is as strong an end as Harvard ever had, and while Wyckoff is a dandy and Mudd quite a terror, particularly on a rainy day, Thorne, partly because of his identity with Yale, partly because of really good play and partly because of his halMback position, which gives the most chances to make plays which arc recorded by reporters of games, is cer tainly better known. This is a fact which can hardly be disputed, save, per haps, by Lea of Princeton, who, by (he way, in his position, is quite the man that Thorne is in his.

Indeed, I do not know but that, man for man, Lea is thj better of the two. Still, it is the public we must consider entirely when we judge by the extent a player Is known. Had Lea played at half-back and don as well as he has at tackle, he would probably be better known than Thorne. "If Thome's good points are summed up, his great defensive play will un doubtedly receive first mention. In fact.

for picking his way through a line and nailing a runner, he has few if any equals among men who play his posi tion. Next to this quality of his play is the way in which he makes runs between end and tackle, or guard and tackle. At all times keeping his eyes open, and thus looking out for the advantage of the moment, he is able to grasp opportunities'' others could who rushed at the line with lowered head, a fault dwelt upon yesterday in the discussion on half-back and Iback play for the line. "When Thorne was elected captain there were many who claimed that the choice was a mistake, for the reason that he was too nervous and would be unable to run the varied affairs of a team outside of actual play and also play his game. From what he has don; so far, however, it may be said that he will prove a far better man than even his friends, thought probable, and this is saying a great deal." Fast Tlaven.

Over Thirty Thousand Teople A Day" for Politicians. Toronto, Oct. 3. This is known as politicians' day at the big interstate fair. The morning trains brought in large numbers of prominent politicians from all parts of the state.

Many of them went to the sta te house to pay their respects to Governor Werts, who, with his staff, (held a reception' before going to the fair grounds. John W. Griggs, the republican candidate for governor, accompanied by ex-Senator Garrett Hobart was surrounded by a party of republicans and was kept busy outlining his canvass.Mr. Griggs was prepared to make a speech at the fair grounds in case he was called upon. Chancellor McGiM, the democratic candidate for governor, was unable to be present oni account of his judicial duties.

He was represented by Chairman E. F. C. Young and Secretary Wil-lard Fiske of the democratic state committee. The attendance at the fair to-day will exceed that of yesterday, when 30,000 persons passed through the gates.

ClETMhAXn AX1 VENEZUELA. Nothing Known In Washington of a Reported Ultimatum to England. London, Oct. 3. The Westminster Gazette in an article under the caption, "Turr; about is fair play," said: "The ether day Lord Salisbury sent an ultimatum to China, and now, according to dispatches received from Washington, Ambassador Bayard has bee.i instructed to notify Great Britain that unless the Venezuelan question is submittad to arbitration within ninety days the United States government will enforce the Monroe doctrine.

"It fs to be hoped that if settlement of the question- can be hurried up Lord Salisbury wiil do it, but surely President Cleveland cannot wish to rush us out of just claims." The St. James' Gazette says: "Isn't it awful? But it might be etill more awful if we only knew exactly wrat the biessed Monroe eoctrine was or what on earth the United States government has got to do wit a quarrel between Great Britain and another independent state." Washinston.Oct.3. Nothing i-s known in this city about the reported ultimatum concerning the Venezuelan question, said to have been sent to Great Eiitain by President Cleveland. BEAUTY IS POWER. Perfection of Form, Ffature, and Mind Render Women All-powerful.

(PICUI. TO On UB1 BlAIIt 1 Yt blended with tlioa perfectioni must be perfect health. Women are to- any stronger in inrir character, better in their nature, truer in their love, warmer inj their affections, than they ever were. But most women do not know themselves; and often when their Influence is doing the most gol, break down. They drift gradually and unconsciously Into that tempestuous sea ot woman's diseases.

Then they should remember that Lydia E.

Millions of women owe the health they enjoy, and the influence they exert, to Mrs. Pinkhani; and the success of her Vegetable Compound has never been equalled In the, field of medicine for the relief and cure of all kinds of female complaints.

So say the druggists. Here is another one of thousands who speaks that others may know the truth For five years I suffered with falling of the womb, and all the dreadful aches and pains that accompany the disease. I tried several doctors and different medicines, until I lost all faith iri everything. I had not triod your Compound. I watched your advertisements from day to day, and each day became more hopeful.

At last I resolved to try it. I have taken seven bottles, andhavegained forty pounds. My pains hare all left me, and I am a well woman. I do all my own work, and can walk two miles without feeling tired. Jour Compound has been worth its weight in gold to me.
