Statement Showing Gross Earnings, Total Expenses and Value of Prop- erty—The Annual Report. The seventy-first annual meeting of the stockholders of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company was held today at noon at the Central building in Baltimore. Mr. Reverdy Johnson presided and Mr. C. 8. Woolford was secretary. The annual report of the directors was adopted. This showed “gross earnings for the year ending June 30, 1897, of $25,582,- 122.31, an increase of $1,637,340.71 over the previous year, and $2,764,940.07 more than in 1805. The freight earnings were $18,- 336,851.87, an increase of $1,518,180.03, which increase is ascribed to the many im- provements and large increase in equip- ment afforded the patrons of the line by the receivers and to a general and intelli- gent effort to increase the traffic of the road. The passenger revenue was $5,059,- 001.92, a decrease Of $256,941.47, or $9,904.65 more than was earned in 1895. The mis- cellaneous earnings increased $378,749.15, of ; increase the elevators contributed $326,779.38, they having earned $514,125.11 in 1897, as against $187,355.73 in 1896. increase is explained by the statement of the large sums required in maintenance of way and maintenance of equipment. The receivers have replaced a large number of old bridges built many years ago with modern steel structures capable of carry- ing the heaviest trains. It was found ab- solutely necessary to arch a large number of tunnels and to place in the track much more than the normal amount of new steel rails, cross ties and ballast. The entire Washington branch was relaid with steel rails, the ties largely renewed and a large amount of stone ballast put in, the entire earnings of this branch having been used to put its roadway in perfect condition.’ General Manager’s Report. In the report of the general manager is found a detailed statement of these ex- penditures, which were charged to main- tenance of way. “A portion of the gen- eral increase was caused,” it was ex- plained, “‘by the unusual expense for main- tenance of equipment, the receivers having placed in thorough repair all of the cars and engines of the company which could be profitably put in condition. These ex- penditures amounted to $508,638.03 more than in 1896, and to $1,429,126.18 more ‘than in 1895. The deficit for the year was $1,177,120.12, but had {it not been for the increase In’ expenses of maintenance of way and maintenance of equipment, the earnings would have been more than suf- ficient to have paid the interest on the bonded indebtedness of the road. “The aggregate expenses for construction end betterments for the twelvé months have been $1,695,496.80, an increase of $1,386,369.69. The trust fund derived from the sale of terminal mortgage bonds, the use of which is restricted to making certain improvements, was used substantially at two points, namely, Pittsburg-Glenwood terminal, and the shops, round house, yards, etc., at Cumberland. The grade and alignment of the road between Balti- mcre and Cumberland have been much im- proved, and as a consequence of this im- provement the train loads on these divisions have been increased at least 30 per cent. “At Locust Point new docks and two berths for ocean steamships have been constructed, and an old pier rearranged, and the officers of the receivers estimate that the cost will be saved in a single year in the reduced expense of unloading incom- ing vessels. Large expenditures have also been made at Locust Point in rearranging the yards and more than four times the interest upon the cost 1s already saved in the reduction of switching charges. <A large number of other improvements have been made, all of which tended to lessen- ing the cost of operation and to facilitate the handling of traffic.” Profit and Loss. report shows a radical reduction One Woman’s Word. “I consider Ayer’s Pills the best in the world.”"—Mrs, A.

A special committee of the board was appointed to examine the assets of the company and revalue the rolling stcck, stocks and bonds and certain other assets. This committee made a radical reduction in the value of the rolling stock, stccks and bonds and advances for con- struction to the various subordinate lines during the years past, and certain other assets of the company, reducing the total to the credit of profit and loss by about $20,000.000.__ The balance sheet gives a very clear and full statement of the assets and liabilities of the company. One of the features of the report is the tables, and several are quite new. One shows the earnings and expenses of all di- visions, east and west of the Ohio river, and another ayes an accurate list of the stocks and bonds owned by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company June 30, 1897, together with their value, which is $13,166,- 163.70. The report of the general manager shows that the tonnage carried, including coal and coke, was 18,716,665 tons, an in- crease of 854,728 tons or 4.8 per cent. During the year nine locomotives were rebuilt, 445 received thorough repairs, 1,339 ordinary repairs were made, 211,012 running repairs made. The total of cars in service Jne 30, 1897, was 672 passenger and 30,980, freight. The locomotives number 863. The car mileage increased 55,540,468. The total number of passengers carried in 1897 was 8,344,078, a decrease of 223,116, ———— RECEIVES PAINFUL INJURIES. Venerable Mr. Clapp Falls Down Steps at His Home. While descending the steps of his resi- dence, 927 G street, Saturday, about noon, Mr. Almon M. Clapp had a fall, which bruised him considerably. Mr. Clapp was about half way down the steps, and after his fall rolled over and over, and landed on his head and left shoulder, at the bot- tom. Members of the family hurried to him and found him lying with his head near the last step, and his feet almost touching the front door. He was conscious, but suffering intensely. Dr. Evans was called, and the sufferer placed in his bed. On examination it was found that no bones were broken, but the left shoulder was badly strained. It wag placed in bandages, and two slight cuts ofthe head were then dressed. Dr. Carr, as well as Dr. Evans, attended Mr. Clapp. Owing to his advanced age— eighty-six years—it may be some time be- fore he leaves his bed, but nothing serious is feared as the result of the accident. —— VISIT NATIONAL OBSERVATORY. of National Geographic Society Make an Inspectio : Members of the National Geographic So- clety visited the naval observatory Satur- day night, through the courtesy of Com- mander Charles H. Davis, U. S. N., the superintendent. The guests were received by Commander Davis ard Prof. Harkness ard were divided into pariies which were severally placed in the charge of professors and assistants. In this way an interesting and profitable inspection of the different in- struments in use was made. Much interest Was manifested in the great telescope, through which beautiful views of the heav- enly bodies were obtained. The president of the society, Mr. Gardiner G. Hubbard, was not able to go to the observatory, but, through the secretary, Mr. Everett Hay- den, he extended an invitation to the party to come to his residence on Woodley road. After leaving the observatory the visitors went to Twin where supper was served. The appreciation of the visitors of the pleasure of the evening was ex- pressed to Commander Davis and the offi- cals of the observatory by Mr. Hayden. ae z Transfers of Real Estate.

W. BEVERIDGE President Talking on Public Questions With His Visitors, east ot POINTS ON THE ANNUAL MESSAGE 3 Uncle Andrew, Overa Century Old, a Caller.;; PACIFIC RAILROAD SALE President McKinley is beginning to talk about public questions of deep concern to himself and the country with the sena- tors and representatives who call to see him. The President likes to ascertain pub- lic opinion from the men who are close to the peopie. Today the President talked somewhat freely with a number of con- gressmen. Senators Fairbanks of Indiara and El- kins of West Virginia were with the Presi- dent a good while this morning. They call- ed to talk about offices in their states, but Sudden Ending of a Long Owner of Considerable Real Estate, Head of a Large Establi: ent, Interested in Corporations. M. W. Beveridge died suddenly at his home, 1618 H street northwest, at an early hour yesterday morning. The announce- ment of his death was a great shock to his numerous friends. The members of his own family did not consider death as at all immiment. He was looked upon as a man in good health. Last week he contracted a cold, and re- mained at home. He was out Wednesday, however, when he attended a bank meet- ing. He then.stayed in the house, only go- ing out to visit the doctor’s office, which was a short distance away. Saturday evening he seemed to be in his usual state of health. He had a cough, but it did not seem to be serious. He made arrangements to attend church services at Epiphany Church, as he was accustomed to do Suu- day mornings, and then retired at an early hour. About half-past 3 o'clock his wife ‘was awakened by Mr. Beveridge coughing violently, and in one of the parc tysms a the talk drifted to the coming session of | blood vessel was ruptured, and i2 a little Congress and the annual message of the |™ore than an hour he was dead. President. Each of the senators made Suggestions as to the message, and the talk turned particularly to the question of currency legislation. This is near to the President, and he shows deep interest in the prospects that something may be done. Senator Elkins is pronounced in the asser- tion that the legislation advocated by Sec- retary Gage will not succeed at this Con- gress, and so assured the President. Sena- tor Elkins says that recent statements of republican senators on this subject show conclusively that it will be impossible to obtain a working majority in the Senate to support the plan advocated by the Sec- retary of the Treasury. ., Both senators also talked with the Presi- dent about the foreign relations of this country, the subjects of Spain, Cuba and Hawali coming up above all others, Both agree with the President that pacific meas- ures must be followed by this country in the negotiations with Spain as to Cuba. The senators are with the President in favor of the annexation of Hawaii. Pacific Railroad Sale. Senator Harris of Kansas, who was vio- lently opposed to the original arrangement for the sale of the Union Pacific road, had an interview with the President. Senator Harris now commends ‘the course of the administration. He says that all he has contended for was that the government should get all coming to it out of the Pa- cific railroads. He expresses the belief that the government will realize its full claim on the Kansas Pacific. The Kansas Pacific, he says, is a Valuable road, and will pay 4 or 5 per cent on $30,000,000. It is a trunk line, traverses a rich country and has a large local traffic. Senator Harris believes that there will he more trouble about getting the vaiue of the Central Pacific, but he is inclined to think the government will do well with that road when a sale is ordered. He thinks the Central Pacifie is essential to the Union Pacific purchasers and .that they will not let it go. Representative W. A. Stone of Pennsyl- vania saw the President, and filed the ap- Plication of 8. D. Huebley of Pittsburg for surveyor of the port of that city. Repre- sentative Stone is certain that an immigra- tion bill, on the lines of that passed by the last Congress, will be passed at the com- ing session. It is essential, he says, that such a bill b> passed. John Russell Young, librarian of Con- gress, presented Anthony Hope, the novel- ist, to President McKinley. Mr. Hope pre- sented a personal letter from Chauncey Depew to the’ President. ‘The visit was a pleasant one. Over a’ Century Old. The visitor who attracted most attention during the day was “Uncle” Andrew Mont- gcmery of Georgia.“ He is 103 years, old, and is on his way east on what he regards as a sacred mission. “I hab wanted ter sée er President- dese many years,” said the-old man, who was accompanied by Gen. Longstreet, commis- sioner of railroads. The President was busy, and he would see “Uncle” Andrew at 3 o'clock in the afterroon. y The old man is known as the ‘black Beecher of the south. He is on his way east to solicit subscriptions for the com- pletion cf a home for old colored people. The building has begun, and is known as the Old Saints’ Home. It is to be the home of old staves who can no longer care for themselves and “have no one to care for them. “Uncle” Andrew arrived here Suaday, ac- companied by N. T. Seals, who is caring tur him on the trip. The old man said he was advised not to make the :rip, because Of the rigors of the weather, put he would hot desist. “The Lord tole me He would see me through,” said the old man, “an’ I guess He will. He has been mighty good to me and won't forsake de ole negro now.” “Uncle” Andrew was born on the eastern shore of Maryland, but was taken to Geor- gia when a child. He belonged to the Mont- gemery family, near Atlanta, and is still Stpported by the family. He remembers much about what was said nearly a hun- dred years ago of Gen. Washington. Proposed Yellow Fever Commission. Dr. Horebeck of Charleston, S.C.; Dr. Sternberg, surgeon general of the army Dr. Josiah Hartzell of Canton, Ohio; Dr. Samuel H. Durgin of Boston, Dr. A. H. Doty of New Ycrk and Dr. 8. R. Oliphant of New Orleans, president of the Louisiana state board cf health, members of a com- mittee of the American Public Health As- sociation, called at the White House today to urge President McKinley to incorporate in his annual message to Congress a recom- mendation that Congress create a commis- sion of medical experts to.go to Havana and study yellow fever, its causes, treat- ment and prevention. Every known type of the disease exists at different seasons in Cuba, and such a com- mission would have every opportunity for experiment and experience. The conditions supposed to be the cause of the malady might be detern.ined by proper experiment and research. ‘The committee urged upon the President that this plan of study might result in something that would crush the disease when first discovered. It was claimed, also, thet if this plan results successfully it will be of far more value than all the quaran- tine regulaticns which can be adopted. The committee had a pleasant talk with the President, who showed much Mmterest in the matter. The President recognized that the conmittee was composed of some of the most eminent.men in the medical profession in the countsy, whose opinions are entitled to the highest consideration. He told the committée ‘that fe would give thought to their ymifenda tions. For Protectipm of the Bass.

The death, so unexpected, will cause sorrow, not oni: to the immediate members of his fami! but to a large circte of friends and ac- quaintances. Sketch of His Career. Mr. Beveridge was one of the best-known and most successful business men of the city. He was the head a large china establishment, a busines’ which he con- Gucted with eminent success. For a num- ber of years he carried on his business on Pennsylvania avenue near 11th street, un- der the name of Webb & Beveridge. A few years ago he erected a large building on F street, which extends through to & street, to which he removed, and which is occupied exclusively by this business. Mr. Beveridge was born on a farm in Vir- ginia, and began life with no capital ex- cept his brains and his energy. He came to this city and started as a clerk in the ereckery business, and gradually rose until he created a business which has grown to the present large dimensions. In addition to looking after the affairs of his establish- ment, Mr. Beveridge was actively identified with a number of corporations and finan- cial institutions. He was vice president of the Second National Bank, a director of the American Security and Trust Company and president of the Riggs Fire Insurance Company. He was the owner of considera- ble real estate and invested in the secur- ites of local companies. Universally Respected. The deceased had just reached his sixty- sixth birthday, but he had the appearance of a much younger man, and up to the last Tooked after his affairs with his usual abil- ity. He was a man who was universally liked, of affable manners and kindly na- ture. He made friends easily, and retained them. He wes a man of high character, and during his long and prominent business career in this city he had an unblemished reputation. He married the daughter of the late J. C. McKelden. His wife and three grown children survive him. ‘The sympathy of friends is especially with Mrs. Beveridge, who quite recenuy lost her mother. Funeral services, conducted by Rev.

There was a lively time in Mrs. Wood's boarding house, No. 1127 10th street north- west, at an early hour yesterday morning, and the police were called there by the vigorous blowing of a police whistle. Sev- eral cfticers responded to the distress calls, and when they reached the neighborhood they found a young man, whose name was not disclosed, bareheaded and minus his overcoat, who claimed he had been assault- ed in the hovse. The police learned that seme of the participants in the row had been to the theater Saturday night, and the appeararce of the rooms showed that a celebration had followed the return home. Inquiry on the part of the police failed to elicit any infcrmation respecting the names of those who engaged in the affair. The young man who made the complaint alleged that he had been assaulted by two men, one of whom was from Baltimore. He was anxious that his assailants should be ar- rested, but as they had disappeared that was impcssible. Mrs. Wood’s version of the affair is that the complainant was ejected for non-pay- ment of rent. ————__ Charges Cruelty and Desertion. Alice M.
