16 THE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUN E: SUNDAY, AUGUST 1874, SPORTING NEWS. The Mnluals Defeat the White Stock- ings 6 to 2, Another Game Announced for Next Wedzesday. Agquatic=-=The Prize-Ring. BASE BALL. WETTE STOCEINGS AND XUTUALS. It was generally anticipated that the champi- onchipgame between the White Stockings and 1he Mutuals, yesterday afternoon, on the Twenty- third street grounds, would bo onoof the best played and most exciting base ball contests of the soason, in congequerce of theirrelative positions in the race for the whip-pennaat, which almost correspond, and about 4,000 people assembled to witnessit. the result, however,demonstrated that it was not at all closa, was by no means exciting, and was entirely devoid of that aegree of public juterest with which less important matches bave ‘been watched. If 2 comparison were to be in- gtituted between the White Stockings and any of the other professional clubs, as regards evenness of strength in the severai positions, the Mutusls would in all probability bs picked outas the best match for them. In this city they hove always been considered s abont om » par, and now that it has become a set- tled fact that ths Bostons and Athletics cannot return from their European trio in time 10 finish their chempionship series, it is conced- od thst the possession of the emblsm of pro- Iessional saperiority 18 & matter to be decided between the White Stockings and tne Mutuals. Hence, the game yesterday aturacted general at- teation, and in view of the splendid play which the local club bas been ehowing since its East- ern tnip, its defeat was, in a measure, unexpect- ed. Had it fielded up to ils standard, the result, while it might not lhave been different &3 regards winning, would havo becn almost as itable as if a wictory were achieved. The Mutns's outplayed the Whites in the field, the exceedingty efféctive piiching of Maithews being well supporsed. Tnoush four men were sent 10 brses o Zetilein's wide deiivery, be wos at his bost in every other instance. his is proved by the factth:at Malone put out no lees than twelve 1nen bebind the bat, about the number usuaily allotted to the first Leseman, Hud it not been for Zettiemn and Malone, ibe Muiuals micht bave run their score up into double ngures, for the felders, with the single exception of lines, who v.as as prilliant as ever, were all more or less defective1n play, My, MeLean umuired the game impartiaily, but_we would advise him Dot ts pormit himself to become excited about thie naverse criticiems of & crowd. No one doubts his honesty, aud. if he believes his decisions to Tenght, thatis ail thet is necessacy. ‘Toere vever was an infallible umpire, and there never will be ove. The gawe began at the nsual hour, with the Mituais to bat. Highum, the tirst stiiker, Iiocked up an easy fiy to Cuthbert. and, to tbe surprive of all, it was dropped. ‘Chis efior un- btedly hud s dopressing effect upon tue other ‘White Storking players, and raised the hopes of their oppoueuts in o corrosponding degree. Al lirou apd Start made safe bits, snd, while Afarthews was being retired at_first, tne former scored sn earned run, which was the only tally of any kind made 1 the inming, tie” Whites being blanked potwithstanding. Forca reached his base on a wild throw by Bur- dock. and Malone hit for sarcty. In the second iumng Butduck was twice given a life on wild throws by Force and Maloue, but the three suc- cueding bstsmen were quickiy disposed of, the feature of the fielding belog a fine roning catch by Force. On the Vwhite vide Gleno made & eafo hit, but nooe of the otbers could bat with any suceess. A paseed Lall by Allisco and s doubly~ mufled foul by Burdock were the notice- sble fielding eirors. There was mno run, however. In the third ioning the Mutuals scored three unearned iuns, for which Foice, AMe crle, anl Zettlein were responsible. The former interfered with Peters in the flelding of 2 ball, which wouid bave resulted i a sure out; Aleyerle fumbled and torew wide, and Zettiom let & man pet a base on wides. Irbhe only safo hit wes made by Nelson, and, by some eharp bave running, he increaxed the score of his club ome run, aod saved himself besides. Tho White Stockings want ot as fast as they came to bat, in spiie of a muff of a foul bv Allisoo. In the fourth inming the Mutuals were treated to another blank, but there was vothing wortby of gotice in the fielding except a eplendid catch by Hines, while 1unning sideways, wiieh was greeted with Joud applavse. Meyetle made a safe hit, and an arvor by Burdock gave Hines a base. Treacy then batted 80 as to make s good double-play possible —that is to eny, he struck out.—and Ailison, Burdock. and Nelson disposed of Meyerlo and Hines, and let Trescy go. Glenn wentout on & fly, and the fourth Buccessive whitewash was accomplisbed. Peters’ hands were £o_eore that he was oblized to withdraw in the fifth inning, after giving a man a base throuch a ehort throw, sod Devlio wos substi- tuted at third, Force goiog to short. Two runs were made by the Mutunls on a coupls of short safe hits, but they wou'd not bave gotthem buz for errors by Treacy, Cuthbert, and Devlin, the latter indicating his prescnce in (be game by mutiing foul bound after Lav- ing tho ball in his hand twice. It wasa for- tunate iuning for the White Stockings, a8 they made two ruus,—the first and last, for them, in the came. They may thank the bad play of Tarey, who aliowed o ball to bound over his head, Btart, who muffed an easy grounder, and Altison, who threw wild to second, and Force, who mada a rafe hit, else they would not haye made any. Rewxson distinguished bimself by cupturing & low fly after a long ran, and st th? 1mminent risk of breaking his neck. From tius point to the closo of the game there was not a rau made on eitber vide. and it may be awributed to the pitching, for the batting was miserably poor, 2zd the fielding was nothing re- markadle. The White Stockings made but two gafo hits in four innings, and resched & base onee thronzh an error Ly Carey. The Mutuals, in the sune space of time, did not make a singlo hit, but three of their number were et to first on wides, and another got thero on o low throw by Devlin. The entire exhibition was uniotereeting in ihe extreme, moro to perhaps because the local club was behind all the time than from any other cause.

The body of James Fitzmorris, the man who was drowned in the lake at the foot of Monroo street, Thursday evening, while trring to get his hat out of the water, was fouod at the foot of Jackson street last evenng, and sent to the Morgue to await the action of the Coroner.

The two pretty warter-girl saloons on Clark street, one at the corner of Mource, known as the Reveille, and tho other just south of the former, are almost vightly tho scene of npumerous brawls, robberies, and stabling aff1ay. and it is about time the Mayor broke their licenses, or else thero will be a first- class murder to report. Saturday night is a bad one in these esloons, and the police ave in constant requisition to pievent dis- turbauces. Last nigbt Jobn Moore, son of a coustable, and a tough young man of bad repute, cut Charles McQusdé an ugly gssh on the Jeft cbeck for some real or imagined trivial provocation. Officers Bartholin and Edrards arrosted both of the young desperadocs, McQuade being wanted in order to insure the prosecution of the otber. Enough is known of the plece—tbe Melodeon—whero the stab- bing occurred, to stamp it ss a die orderly bagunio, where lewd young women aud bad men congregate . and carry their orgies into the small hours of the moru- ing. At the Rovcille, John Cregar was very disorderly at a late honr lsst night, during tbe brewing of & fight, avd when Officers Edwards and Boetholin went into the place 10 stop the row, he pulled out a pistol in a men- acing manoer and rap off. He was caught sod locked -up to await tiial for being disorderly and carrying concealed weapovs. The eame officers arrested Fred Momfer in the beer-ealoon in the basement of No, 143 Clark streei, last midnight. for xobbing Ben Bweenio of §18. There are. two other -waiter-girl saloons on Clark street, which ~ are also troublesome resorts for thieves and their female cousorts. The vilest and most profane longuage is used in such Icud terms as to be Leard out on the streets, and Lbe womeu vie #ith the men inthe ex- bibition of indecencies and fithy remarks. Never was Chicago 8o overrun with thieves, gamblers, strumpets, monte-men, bunko-ropers, aud swin- dlers, &8 at the present time. At 2 oclock this morning S. C. Pitt was ar- rested in the Melodeon saloon, with two Derrin- ger pistols in his posscssion, and which he was tlourishing sbout with murderous carelessness. i o e PUBLIC DEBT-STATEMENT.

(Continued from the First Paxe.) of the Brooktyn Union, being still the Ieldins writer of the Jndependent, and both papers owne by Bowen, the lstter came to hum and told him at THE BIGGEST THING, 1N BEOOXLYX was Plymouth Churcb. and the biggest thing in Plvmouth Church was Deecher, &nd that it was neceseary, in order tomake a success of the Union, to pey particular attention to the church and to Beecher. When Tilton exclaimed, ** How can you say guch s thing to me, Alr. Bowen, after writing me the letter you did from Wood- stock ? Do you not remember that 7" “Yes," eays Bowep, “Iremember that; but we are publishing a r.ewspaper, and unless wo intend to make an expouure and pull down the wnole temple, we must conduct the paper on the plan I tell you.” Thereupon Mr. Tilton broached vaguely o Mr. Bowen bis own domestic griefs, aud €0 ex- citod Bowen's curiosily and auxiety that he re- quired Tilton to make a full statement, which Tilton felt constrained to do, Tlen Bowen eaid, “ Tilton, if wbat you tell me is true, yon must write a letter to Beecher hers and now, demaad- Iog that he shall resign his pastorate of Ply- mouth Church AND LEAVE DROOKLTY, and stop writing for the Christian will e the bearer of that letter,” Tilton immediately wroto ihe letter, except so much as related to the Christian Union, and gave it to Bowen, who went awey with it, Taa vext day be came to the office, angrily dis- “Union, snd T charged Tilton frcm the maungement of the DBrooklyn Union, and canceled his contract a8 s writer on the Jnde- pendent, the two contracts lemng for @ ealary of 9,000 per year, with a forfeit an- nexed, to the effect that if Bowen ehonldat apy time cancel the coutract he hould pay Tilten six months’ salary in advaoce. DBowen's alleged reason for discbarging Tilton was because be (Lilton) would not give up the Woodstock let- ter, though Tilton promiscd to make no further reterence to tho matter. Then Tilton demanded s six months' sulary, and Bowen refueed to pay it unless he would surrender the Woodstock ietter. Then Tilton threatened o suit againet Bowen, aud Beecber's fiiends took siurm and biought sbout an mbitration, the result of which both Bowen aud 'Tilton agreed to abide by. The sibitiators made an award under the cootract giving Tilton the amount named 28 the forfeit money. Two members of the Arbitration Committee 10 now members of the Investigating Commitree. enowiug that when Beecher selected bis jury he selected men who were already copnizant of the {acts in the case, and bad Loth formed and ex- prossed au opinion regarding it. A eghort time after the publication of Mrs. Woothull's statement, & project was euddenly conceived, or perhaps revamped, to sot Beecher up IN A SECULAR NEWSPAPEB. It was alleged that Greeley, Beunott, and Ray- mond baving sl dicd, thers was now no one mzn Lefore the putlic in New York boldiug a commanding position as o journalict, and that it was & good opportunity for Beecler to stepin 88 the head of a daly newspaper. 1t was pelicved by those of his friends who were conversant with the real facts touched upon in the Woodbull publication that if Beecher were ditconnected from tbe ministry this scandal would soon eubside, and the waters of oblivion would paes over it. Let- ters were wiitten to various parta of the country by persons who had projected the new paper, calling for a crnsultation to bebeld in New York. Some of the persons addressed went to New York and joined in the c¢onsultation. The reasons for transferring Beecher from the min- ist1y {0 a secular employment were necessarily disclosed to them, but very cantiously, It was decided, after cousuitation, that, if Beecher should resign f:om the ministry in the face of the Woodhnll charges. it wonld AMOUST TO A CONFESSION. and that, €0 far trom waving bis own reputation, sud that of uther parties, 1t wou!d kil the new paper. S0 the newrpaper project was abandon- ed, aud the only effect of the consultation was to spread ivto 3 wider circlo the fatal sccret in- volved in the aair. At tae time of the Woodbuil {rublication, and for » consdersble time thercafter, the thecry promulzated by Beecher, his family, and friends, to account for the stories in ecirculation, was that Mre. Tilton bad had poo:peral fever and was ineave duriug 1its confiuuruce, und that during this ineanity sbe hsd made declarations eud that of Beecher. 1t is stated that Miss Catherine, sister of Henry Ward Beecher, wrots a noto to ocoe of her bivthers giving this statement of the caen, aud adied to it thet the supposed puorper- 2l fever was a very bad thing, but she hoped it did not very often take this shape. Itis stated that Beecber's domestic relations had been very unbappy, and have been the com- mon topic of dircuseion between him sud cer- tain families where Le has been intimato, and, it is believed, have been a most fertilo source of denger duriog bis career. ‘This is the plan on which he has gained the sympathy of these women, by fitst maling them confidantes of bis own family troubles, and then pursuing his ad- vantsge after having gaived their sympathy. ‘Thesu charges bave been for yearsin the pos- eession of 8 steadily mdening circle, with tho convidtion growing that exposure, must come and that when 1t did come it would be far woree than any one Lad dreamed. s itane) FRANK CARPENTER'S STATEMENTS. From he Brooklyn Argus’ report of an Inlermew with Frank B. Carpenter, Reporter—Have you read B3rs. Tilton'’s state- meuts? Mr. Carpenter—I have. Lieporter—Ilas Mrs. Tilton ever mado any ad- Tmisgions to you compromising Mr. Beocher ? Mr. Carpenter—Mirs, Tilton, in mv presence, was asked by Mr. Tilton to put in writing some- tbing in referenco to her relation with Mr. Boecber, that ho could show to Dr. Storrs, This wasin December, 1872, or January, 1873. Mrs. Tilton aesented willingly, and, going to ber room, returned in & few momeuts With s manu- geript. on which was written, a8 near as Ican remernber, thess words : **On a cextain occyeion, Mr. Beecher solicited me to become & wile to bim, with all that is 1m- plied in this relation. This proposition I com- muvicated to my husbenad.” Mr. Talton took that writing to the Rev. Dr. Storrs. Reporter—How do you know this ? MMr. Carpenter—I accompavied Mr. Tiltoo, and ;nwd:flxeo lore place this document in Dr. Storrs’ and. Ilei)uuxter—\'\ iny was Dr. Storrs called into this caso Mr. Carpenter—Alr. Tilton kuew Dr. Storrs as an intin'ate friend of Mr. Beccher's, and he went to him for counsel svon after the Woodhull letter appeared. Reporter—Did Mr. Tilton tell Dr. Storrs all the facts in the case ? Mr. Carpevter—He did not. He told me he did not want to bring disgrace upon his wife, and, when be obtained from bher the admission which ho took to Dr. Storrs, he eaid he pre-. ferred that it ehould be made a8 delicate for Elizabeth 88 j.ossible, but he could not besr to have the world thiuk that he was attackiog Mr, Beecher withont just provocation, when the truth was exactly the opposite. Mr. Carpenter— . . Jtir just such abuse and misrepreventation of Tilton 28 this that has induced me to epeak. I bave felv and do feel very,much a8 Frank Moulton does. Theodore Tilton is in the right in this matter. e should not bo eacrificed. And Issy this, 28 an ardent admirer of Henry Ward Beecher. Frank Moul- ton was sincere when be said be loved Beecher, but beyond and above tho love and admiration for that man, thereia & controlling consideration of justice, 2nd I know Frank Monton too well to believe that he will think of shiclding Heury ‘Ward Beecher by wronging Theodore Tilton. Reporter—Have you any statcment or explan- ation 10 make concerning your affidavit charg- ing that Mr. Beecher told yon he would share his fame, fortune, and hopor with Mr. Tilton, in caso Thlton would do certain things ? Mr. Carpenter—Oplv this: That I made that affidavit 80 that it would bear as lightly against Mr. Beecher 88 poseible, Reporter—Do you still refuse to give the sub- eiance of tbe couvereation you had with Mr, Beecher on the evening of June 1, 16737 Alr. Carpenzer—I do. No power save a legal tribunal ehall oblige me to make public the etotements in that interview. Reporter—What is your opinion of Mrs. Til- tou’s statement ? . Mr. Carpenter—I besitate to express an opin- ion, for Mrs. Tilton bas made ruch unaccount- abls statements to me. Forinstance, you remem- ber I'told youIwas present when ehe put in writing the statement that Beecher had solicited her. Less thsnayear after, in conversation with her, ehe told me that her admission in that letter was untrue. Reporter—Do you think Mr. Tilton prblished the Bacon letter hecause he thought it was Dr. Bacon’s judsment that an investigation should be had ? Mr. Carpenter—I do. He appealed to Dr. Bacon for advice, but waited in vain for & single word of counsel. Dr. Bacon did eay, bowerver, to the friend who calied on him in Theodore's bebalf, that if Mr. Tiiton did not make that letter public ke should be inclined to do it him~ self. Dr. Bacon had the utmost confidence in Mr. Beecher's innocence, and, in the face of such serious charges, he very paturally and wicely wanted to aes an izeue made, and the ecaudal settled fineily and forever. eporter—It bhas been stated that Mr. Beecher did not think he could consistently defend Mr. Tilton until the latter renounced Mrs. Woodhull and ler associates. Mr. Carpenter—That is true. Mr. Beecher iold me that if Theodore would take tha public position he wanted him to, on the Woodbull gnution, he would pour gubscriptions intoj the tolden Age oftice by the thoneands, Oliver John- on, at one time, prepared a statement for Tilton to sign in regard to Woodhull, but Tilton de- clined. Afr. Tilton asked bis intimate friends not tolose sight of the fact that MIr, Beecher zddressed to him the letter of apology six months befare he (Tilton) ever eaw Victotia C. Woodhull. 5 - Reporter—Yon #aid that the phrage in Mr. Til- tou's origivai letter to Dr. Bacon was one charg- ing Mr. Beecher with “a revolting cnme.” You added that this phrase was modified €088 to read, “an offense which I forbesr to name or characterize.” Who was the friend of Mr. Beecher who induced Mr. Tilion to modify the language of the charge? 4 Mr. Carpenter—He was & friend of both Mr. Beccher and Tilton. Reporter—Was it Frank Moulton ? Mr. Carpenter—I decline to spswer. Butit way through his earnest pleading that the change was made, I remember he said: “Theodore don't put tbat word ‘crima’ in there—make it casy for Beecher to exolain.” Mr. Tilton assented, with the assuraice from tis friend that the modification would bring from Mr. Beecher & public acknowledgment of an offense. 1 Reporter—If Mr, Beecher Lnew of the exitt- enco of these lottere, why did he challenge in- vestigation? Mr. Carpenter—There are several reasons which will answer that aquestion. You know Le had previcusly been sustained to & remarkablo degree by his Church. He may bave known that Alrs. Tilfon would sustain him if it came to the woret. He may hato supposcd tha: the mos. important documentary evidence was destroycd, 28 did Mrs. Tilton. Or, driven to desperation, he may have courted the worst, for you remem- ber he declared in one of his letters to Mr. Moulton: **Nothing can possibly be so bad as tte power of great darknees in which I epend much of my time. I look upon death 2s sweeter far thau any fiiend 1 bave in tho world.” Reporter—What is your estitnate of Theodore Tilton a8 a moral man ? Mr. Carpeuter—I1 bave sciutinized him for years, and I never could find in him, either in Word or act, & suggestion of imparity. He is the cleanest man in his conversation I ever knew. Toward all women, Mr. Tilton is themost chival- rous of men. His reference to his wifo have invariable been of the most delicats and affec- tionate character. He hau shielded ber in every possible way. Teporter—Mr. Carpenter, you have made some verv imporiant statemeuts in regard to this scandal, Mr. Cupenter—Ihave etill more important ones in 1eserve. And in couclugion I want the Arqus to understand that I amthe friend cf Theodore Tilton only o far as his positicn is one where he is fortified by truth. I have bad an affection amounting to reverence for Henry Ward Beecher. Butl am afraid this case has been taken out of Mr.Beecher’s hands by bus enthusiastic and over-zealous friends. ~ The statements I bave made I am prepared to make atfidavit to. The dates aud names I have quoted, 1 have mainly obtained from my wntten record, Tor I bave kept a diary for mauy years. TELEORAM FEOM MR, CARPENTFR.

Tranx B, CARPENTER. — *“NEITHER DO I CONDEMN THEE."” To the Edilor of the Chicago T'ribunc : Sim: The great seusation marks this as a good time for calling atteution to those much- misunderstood words of Christ. The law as given to Moscs ranked human hfe and fomale chastity as of equal value. Be who forcibly took away cither forfeited his life, while the adulter- esg, equally with the murderess, was adjndged unworthy tolive. In His Sermon on the Mount, Christ refers to this law: * I bavs heard that it hath been ssid, Thon shalt not commit adul- tory." Did He follow this up by condemning or repealing the law to which the attention of Ilia bearers was thus called ? Did He in auy sence relax its severity ? Ob, no! Oa the contrary, Ho gave & new avd most comprehensive definition to the crime thus condemned, by adding, *“‘Buf Xeay untoyou, that whosoever looketh oo a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with ber already 1o his heart.” This is Christ's law,—a law demanding perfect purity in heart, word, ard action, and leaving the penalty just as He found it. Of course Ho did not ictend to at- tach the death-penalty to impure thongbt, for of this 0o man ean judge another; but He st overy man to judge himseif, sod required of esca & chastity which shrinks from no scrutiny, even that of the Omnipotent Eye. To assumuo that He required less of women than of men would bo to placo them in s more degraded position than that thoy Liad already occuprad, and wou'd forever digpose of the claim that Christianity elevates the | wealcer Bex. Are we tonssume then, that Christ anoulled His own Iaw in the caso of the woman brought to Him for judgmert? As thiscaxe stood, it was the civil law—the Jaw of the land—which required her death. The execation of this law was the duty of the proper civil magistrates and executivo officers. For any one else £o have as- sumed their places would have been an act of direct nsurgation, and Christ was eminently a law-abiding citizen. The men who brought this sinner to Iim to be judged wanted, in all proba- bihty, to tempt Him to tho sesumption of civil autliority, in order to test His clum 28 King of the Jews, and bring about a conflict between Him and their Roman governors; and for Him to have ordered the exccation of the law would bave been as inconsistent with His profeesions ana purposes 28 for any preach- er to-day to usurp the duties of & Judre of a Court of Oyer and Terminer. Houed theocea- sion to convict the entire essembly of sn. He recognized the ein of the accueed, and the con- demnation He rcfased was judicial. It did not prevent or forbid her trial and punishment by the proper authorities, and took away no jot or tittle of the penalty attached to her crime. Another thing : He ccmmanded her to “ Sin no more," and did not build a palace in_which ehe might be maintained in luxury and idleness, and £0 be preverved from temptation. He did not cbange her surroundings, but, by His command, required her to be superior to them. There was po reference to society, what it had done or might do. No matter to bor what others bad done or continued doing, she wasto *‘ uin no more.” I call attention to this question now, becanse it appears tome that this miserable Beecher scandal, with tens of thousands of similar crimes, is the direct outgrowth of the falso in- terpretations which for thirty years it has been fashionable to put on these words of the Great Father. Christ refused to condemn an adul- teress; therofore, adultery, in a woman, is & venial sin! Yook at the ruin this doctrine has wrought. Some years ago, Theodore Tilton stood very near tha head of the moral teachers of this Jand and age; =nd look at him now, maiutawing, under oath, his evidentls-honest cooviction that his wife is, snd has been, & devont Chrigtian and an aculterces! That his affection for ber should blind him to the noral turpitude of the acts of which he belioves her guilty, is perhaps, not strapge; for huw can wo judge and condemn the one we love? But still he could not have reached his present condition of moral blindaess if his judgment bad not been previously led astray v false teaching on this particular subject. Nor ig it likely that Elizabethwould have given occa- ion for his strange exhibition of magnanimity, it she had not interpreted the wordsof her Divine Teacher as refusing moral ratber than judicial condemnation to this capital crine. Look a% the case as it now stands, and it seems That the woman who haes caused this commotion was pot *‘strong-minded.” She ig, ou the con- trary, a model woman,—small, beautiful, domes- tic, affectionate, pious,—one of those amiable women who give their bodies into the keeping of male_phyeicians, and their souls into that of malo priests, snd implicitly follow tbeir direc- tions. Thata woman of this class shoula have cffectually farcinated two of the leading men of the age, and plunged them into this abyes of ruin, is & comment on ita value, and ought to teach the 1mportance of teaching all womean to seacon as weil a8 to pray. to doubt as well as to beheve. It is the strongest argument of the century against making ike life of any woman to consixt of cmotion and devotion, of affection end eubjection, of prettiness and pettiness, of love-and lackadaisiness.

THE DIRECTOES' ANNUAL BEFORT. Sectal Dispctch to The Chicaao Tribune. Bostox, Aug. 1.—The Directors’ report of the Michigan Central Railroad Company for the year ending with May 31, is just out. Aftera recapitulation of the lines owned by the Com- paay, the report says the gross earnings of the main lino and leased lines for the year have boen: £2,350,948.80 4,918,951.93 354,170,91 Being in excess of the earning of the year be- fore $331,963.64. The operating expenses during the same time, exclusive of taxes, were $£5,316,549.64, and the taxes have been $207,092.75. Total, $5,523,- 642.39. These expcnses bave been in excess of those of last year by £536,706.93. The pet earn- ings.of the proper:y bave been during tho year £4110,439.31, Leiug less than the year before by s statement doubtiess discouraging to stockbolders at its first aspect, though when tho causes are considered in conneciion with the business of the vear, there will be found MUCH GLOUND OF HOPE IN TUE FUTURE. Tirst, thero bas been an increase of tonnage on the main iine akove the prior year of 177,163 tops, or 1234 per cent. Though the earnings from this business have increased ounly 6 7-100 per cent, the increase in through-freight carried over the road has been 200,302 tons, being 57 87-100 per cent. The increase of East-bound through-treight has been 262,5(3 tons, or abovo that of the eamo kind of freight of the prior yenr of 49 25-100 per cent. There bhas been a shght falling-off in through West-bound freight of 2,171 tons and a large fulling-off in local freights of the road of 8,420 tons; but, on tue whole. THE INCREASE OF BUSINESS NIAS BEEN LARGE, notwithetanding the disturbance and depres- basiness dunng sion on overy class of three-fourths of the year, result- ipg from the finaucial = trouble of the country. The very large increate in the East-bound tonnage of the ruad is wholly the re- sult of the largze improvements which have been mado during the past two yecrs, which enasles 1t to do that kiud of business with s facility aod dispatch fully equal to those of all other lincs, and which it is believed will enableit at all timea to command a full share of all the busi- ness between tho West and the East. But while the business in the aggregate has go largelv increased, tho earnings therefrom bave not incressed in proportion, and especially the net earnings. In the east-bound cattle busi- nees, which 1s very large, and was formerly & very valuable one, tne " RATES HAVE BEEN ALYOST TOTALLY DESTROYED for the past year through the effect of canses connected with Eastern roads, and which this Company has bhad no sbility to obriste, and that whole business has been done during that time at not much, if any, above cost, and is now going at much less than the cost of doingit. All the other business from tho West eastward since the crisis of September bas been irregular; for a time after the com- mencement of the panic suspended, then gradu- ally reviving, but never in a volume to fill the capacity of.the rosds. Between Chicago and New York the competition for it, therefore, has been active, and rates have not been main- tained, THE AVERAGE RATE OF ALL PREIGHT carried over tho lives of the Company has been during the year only 1.99 cents per ton per mile, against 1.57 before. Thin difference in tho rato Las made a loes to this Company upon the busjucas which 1t has done of £606,950.12, all of which is taken from the net earnings, or what should b such. of the Compauy. STEEL RAILS. There have been laid with steel rails upon the main line 72} miles of donble track, which, with the air-line. makes 175 miles in all of donble track between Detroit and Chicago. Of this 258 5-100 miles have been laid during the first half of the present fiscal yesr. THE ERIDGES AND CULVERTS generally under this track are of masonry, and constructed in the most permanent and substan- tial manner. The main hne has been laid with steel rail the entire length of it, with the ex- :c;uion of 65 iles, and the whole track re- balanced 8o far as was necessary, The whole line of both single and double trackais probably in a8 good condition as is possible with tracks not wholly steel BUILDINGS. The shops are subatantially comploted, and are both convenient and adequato. A new station or passenger house has been built at Jackson, adequste to the convenienco of the putlic and tho Company. Smaller ones bave been built at otber points along the road, but only whero the nccessity had become so urgent 24 to be imperative. : SIDISGS. During the past year additional eidingsto the extent of 28 miles bave been laid. The entire sidng now laid including that in the Chicsgo & Detroit yards, is 123 miles, or about 20 miles less than half the entire length of the road, A -large rard at Michigan City, and alss at Jackson, wilh ade- quate siding for standing and distritution of cars, and making up of trains, has been con- structed, and an additional engine-house at the former place.
