A Report Showing Receipts and Ex- penditures During’ Its Entire Period of Operation. The Secretary of the ‘Interior has re- ceived from Mr. James B. Adams, secretary of the Columbia Railway Company, the annual report of the operations of the road during the past year, as ‘required by law. ‘This is the second such! report made by the company. Under thevact incorporating the company, approved May 24, 1870, a full report of business must be made each year, either to Congress or to the Secretary of the Interior. No report was made to Con- gress last year, and the. Secretary called for one. This year, observing that no re- ports had been made for previous years, he called for a full report, covering the bus- iness of those years. The report ‘shows the operations of the road from September 1, 1871, to March 1, 1895. There was at the former date cash on hand to the amount of $28.81. There was earned the following year $15,711; $8,000 was disbursed for dividends and $10,316 for operating expenses. Receipts in the years 1872-'3 were $40,071; in 1873-’4, ; in 1874-’5, $40,568, and they remained at about this figure for several years until in 1884-'5 they began an upward movement, reaching $48,000. In 1885-'6 they Ww $50,000; in 1886-7 they were $59,000; in 1887-"S they were $68,000, and in 18S9-'90 they passed to $85,000. In 1891-2 the receipts were $123,000. Last year they were $116,000. Dividends last ar were $24,000; operating expenses, $79,- “34. These figures present a most interest ing outline of the question of business over the road, and are a gratifying indication of the growth and development of the city. Passenger receipts last year were $110,200; average receipts per trip were 91.7 cents per mile, 17.3 cents; per passengzr, 4.4 cents: operating expenses per day Were $217.90 per trip, 70 cents; per mile, 12.5 cents; per passenger, 3.1 cents. The road carried 2,507,476 passengers. ‘The average number per trip was mile, 3.04. The number of car trips was 113,688; the number of car miles was 635,- G18. The number of tickets interchanged during the year was 1,568,150. ‘The number of Columbia tickets held by foreign com- panies was 813,036. The number of for- eign tickets held by the Columbia Com- pany Was 153,116. The daily average of passengers Carried was 6,869.

There is no more delightful way In which to start on a trip through the scuth than by means of the elegant steam- ers which this company is now running to Norfolk. At that place connections with points anywhere in the north, west, south and southwest may be made, and the con- tinued monotony of raflroad travel may be thus allevizted in a most pleasing way. Fertress Mcnroe, Old Point Comfort and Virginia Beach are thus brought into the reach of tne tourist, which would otherwise be lost. Steamers leave every evening in the year at 7 p.m., reaching Norfolk the fol- lcwing morning at 7:30. CLAIM THE CHAMPIONSHIP The Morton Cadets Will Ask for the Gal- veston Cup. The Disbandment of the Thurston Rifles Leaves the Washington- iaus at the Hend. It will be a matter of much interest to military men generally throughout the country to learn that the Morton Cadets of this city will make claim to the Galves- ton semi-centennial championship cup, and with it the title of champton military com- pany of the United States, won at the Memphis interstate drill last May by the Thurston Rifles cf Omaha, Neb. It was a well-known fact at Memphis during the big drill that the Thurston Rifles were a reorganization of the famous Omaha Guards, and had been gotten to- gether only with the object of winning money at Memphis. The commanding offi- cer, Capt. Scharf, was paid a stipulated salary for drilling the team, and among its members were several enlisted men of the regular army. The Thurstons suc- ceeded in carrying off nearly $5,000 in prize money, and shortly after their return home had a disagreement over the division of the cash. As a result of this misunder- standing, it is said, Capt. Scharf was dis- cfaiged, and in a short time the Thurston Rifles disbanded. ‘The Morton Cadets, therefore, are of the cpinton that they are entitled to possession of the cup, and also to the coveted title of champion company of the United States. Capt. Shilling will Monday” next forward to Adjt. Gen. Mabry of Texas, the custo- dian of the cup, a formal claim for .ts pos- session, and insist that the same be granted. The Morton Cadets lost first place in the big drill by two-tenths of one per cent, and the boys think that as the leading com- pany 1s now out of existence, they stand at the top of the list, and are entitled to the benefits thereof. ———— CONFIDENCE GAME, A Smooth Young Man Gets Away With $850. John Cartwright, who keeps a general merchandise store at Shiloh, N. C., left his home early this week with nearly $1,000 for the purpose of taking a trip to Balt!- more to purchase his winter stock, but he is now in this city without any money, and he may have to return home for a new supply of funds. This condition of affairs resulted from the North Carolinian’s meet- ing a young man on his journey here and eing friendly with him. The carefully lanned robbery was consummated at the Metropolitan Hotel, and the young man, who called himself Harry, Is missing. The North Carolina merchant reached Norfolk three days ago and Thursday even- ing he boarded one of the palace steamers of the Washington and Norfolk Company to come here. On tne boat he met the young man, who, he says, “was mighty well up in talk,” and so interesting did his conversation prove that he could not do other than be friendly with him. He proved a good companion on the journey, which was made long because of the dense fog on the lower river, for instead of reach- ing here yesterday morning on time it was 4 o'clock in the afternoon when the steam- er Newport News arrived with Harry and his intended victim. During the latter part of the trip the young man's conversation indicated that he was acquainted with some of Cartwright’s friends in Shiloh, and this, it is thought, made Cartwright more confident of the genuineress of his new friend's interest in him. Marry suggested the Metropolitan Hotel as a good stopping place, and kindly went with the North Carolinian to the hotel, where he registered and checked his little satchel, in which there was $830. Thinking the satchel was perfectly safo Cartwright went to his room and remained there until his attention was attracted to a sign which gave notice that the hotel would not be responsible for valuables not left in the safe in the office. Upon read- ing this notice he hastened to the office and-asked for his satchel. He got it, but it was empty, and then he made _ com- plaint. It transpired that Harry had been there with another satchel in the mean- time and had obtained from the clerk in some mysterious way the satchel belonging to the North Carolinian and emptied its contents into his own pocket. Detectives Horne and Weedon were called to the hotel and told of what had hap- pened. ‘They were given a good descrip- tion of the man who had played the con- fidence game so well, and now the officers are making an effort to overtake him. It is thought certain that he has left the city. ee Nearly a foot of heavy wet snow has fallen at Winona, Minns The weather still re- mains rather mild, but snow continues to fall rapidly.
