Norwalk ' Gazette. Tuesday. Mal-eh 9th, 1880. Editorial Letter. WasnmoroN, March 7, 1880. Dam Gaza'r'rn :— The Fitz John Porter case hasbeen the chief subject of debate in the Senate, the past Week. Gov. Randolph led off in o carefully prepared speech favoring Porter 8 restoration to the army, which involves also the payment of $75,000.0f back pay. He was followad by Gen. Logan, who occupied portions of four Senatorial days, in an ex— haustive review of the whole case. This is conceded to be the greatest and most success- ful forensic effort of Logan's .life, and will give him the reputation of being a far more astute and able lawyer than any one ever supposed him to be. His speech is univer- sally conceded to be a most damaging one to the Porter case, on legal points rather than because of personal hostility to the Porter claim. In this connection a letter first ap- pearing in the Bridgeport Standard. we belicVe, purporting to be from a Baptist clergyman of Bridgeport, found its way here and awakened very considerable interest. If it had been signed plain D. E. Ayre,it would have been passed by as a.bit of idle camp gossip, but with the “Reverend” prefix and the subsequent affix of "Pastor of the 2d Baptist Church, of Bridgeport," .many sup— posed there was probably something besides a bare Munchausenism in the Connecticut person's story,’ As your correspondent was here as a war reporter and bad the best means of knowing thatat the time of the Bridge- port minister’s narrated interview between Porter and Lee, the latter was on the other side cf the mountain and fully fifty miles away, it was difficult to conjecture how any soldier, with intelligence enough to subse— quently become the pastor of a Connecticut congregation, could have been thus deceived. The Parson’s subsequent explanations of the events he narrates, telegraphed over here, leave little doubt that he was either the vic— tim at that time of indigestible gorge of “hard tack and salt .horse," or has subsc-_ quently become unreliably endowed with an excess of those mental qualities which made Sir Walter Scott, Dickens, and other noted authors of fiction so justly famous. The feeling against Porter after the defeat 0Q Pope was 'intensely bitter, and it was full believed at the time by the President and Secretary of War that he could have marched his army to Pope’s support had he so desired, but that he preferred the defeat of the Union Arms to the credit a victory would confer on Pope, whosebombastic egotism had disgusted nearly all general oflicers serving under him. The newspaper reporters attached to Pope's and Porter‘s forces, who after all were the most capable of judging impartially, with one accord condemned Porter’s non—action and conspicuous indifierence to the fate of our poor boys in their‘death struggle under Pope. Gen. Alf. Terry is quoted as a reliable authority, as he most certainly is, as a lawyer and generai,in exculpation of Porter’s action. Nevertheless, the one stubborn fact. remains 1 —he was ordered to join Pope and did not—— and there was no impossibility in his doing so had he made the necessary effort. It is said Gen. Garfield who served on the original court martial that condemned Porter, will have some “plain talk" on the subject, if the case is brought into the Houseby Porter‘s over-zealous Democratic friends. The de- bate will go on for some time at least, and the probabilities are that it will extend for several weeks. SenatOr Bayard or McDonald will take the floor ‘Monday, as both of them intend to speak in support of the bill. They will reply to the arguments of Logan and Carpenter, and will, in turn, be followed by other senators. Matt Carpenter followed Logan yesterday. 'rnn mum“. . The Ways and Means Committee have virtually decided to attempt no changes in the existing tariff. The ironmongers of Pennsylvania are here, and the sugar men of New Haven and New York also, hoping to get their specialties adjusted, but the views of members from different sections .of the country are so conflicting, there is a very poor prospect for any amendments passing. Judge Carlisle, of Kentucky, a member of the Ways and Means Committee, thinks that the present trouble with the committee can be overcome, and the sugar interest at least may get some relief during the present session. _ PATENTS. The first case—the Fuller Faucetéreported to the House from its Patent Committee, was put on its passage Friday, and was over— whelmingly defeated by the combined Con— federate and northern Democratic vote. The case was an exceptionally strong one, and had twice passed the \Senate, and once, we helflve, the House, but never could be gotten through both Houses at the same ses— sion. Moreover, it was one of those where the cost of the article to the public would not be increased to the purchaser, nor could it be used to advantage except in the few towns and cities where there is an extra pressure of water on the pipes. Nevertheless, about every Southern member in his scat voted against the extension, although it is known that in not one single Southern dis- trict would the faucet by any probability overlie used. The reason is obvious. The average Confederate in Congress is thorougly filled with the delusion that his section is and ever has been paying tribute unrequitcdly. to the whole Yankee fraternity of inventors. Representative Smith, of the House Patent Committee, who has represented the Second Georgia District since his service as captain in the Confederate Army, assured your correspondent that “his people” never in; vented anything, and he thought the world would get on just as well if there were no inventions and patents. When he was asked if he realized what a Connecticut inventor had done for the South and the whole world by his invention of e Cotton Gin, be com- posedly remarked h thought some one else would have hit upon a device which would have accomplished equal results that every- body would have been freely permitted to use. The shoe machine was also instanced as having reduced the cost of shoes to the wearer enormously, but he could see no good in that, as there was a shoemaker in his own town in Georgia, he said, who made a good man’s or woman's shoe as cheap as he could buy themanywhere else. There is no usein mincing the matter. The opposition to doing justice to honest inventors of the country has its origin in the sectional hatred to all Yankee progress, for to the South. invention, progress and Yankee are synonyms. This feeling is aided and abetted by the more igno. rant Granger elements at the- West. There is no question before Congress about which and the rights and equities there seems to be lisuch solid, dark and dense want of intelligent information. In the Fuller case we are glad to note that Representatives Miles and Haw— ley voted justice for the claimant. Mr. Wait was absent, and only Judgc‘Phelps of » the entire Connecticut delegation voted nega- tively. so MORE parser MODELS. Commissioner Paine has issued a Patent Office order, to take effect on the 1st of April next, that no more “models” will be required of Inventors from and after that date, when presenting their applications for a patent. This will be good news for Inven- tors, for they are frequently put to heavy expense in' getting out a useless model. CONGRESSIONAL SCANDALS. The ante-helium incidents which used to so often smirch the fair fame of Southern members, seem to have broken out afresh. The session opened by a scandal involving Senator Morgan of Alabama, whose son had rehsed to take as wife the unmarried mother of his child on advice of his father, the - Senator, as it was said, and who was shot down in-the street here by the ruined fair one. Later, the name of one of South Caro- lina's favorite senators was involved in a dreadful tale of conjugal infidelity, and now Senator Ben Hill is dodging both the unmar- ried méther of Ben Hill, Jr., and Mrs. Belva A. Lockwood, the female lawyer here, Who has espoused the case and cause of the poor, ruined maiden. Suit was commenced in the case, and next day an afiidavit from the woman appeared in the papers exhonorating the Senator from all blame. This was fol— lowed by Mrs. Lockwood’s story and two or three counter affidavits, until the friends of the Confederate Senator from Georgia may well exclaim in'the phraze of capital judg- ment, “and may the Lord have'lnercy on your soul.” Representative Acklen; of La., has had no end of disgraceful lady compli- cations since he entered Congress, but for the past few weeks he seems to have drifted far behind the salacious senatorial deceivers. It ought to be said, however, in this connection that as a body there is the full average of pure, high-minded, upright and Christian gentlemen in the present Congress, despite these public scandals. . rmursus FURLOUGIIED. The printing appropriation having been almost entirely exnusted by the worse than useless work of the Democratic extra session, Public Printer Defrecs on Wednesday last, was forced to furlough a thousand printers, pressmcn and other operatives at the Public Printing Office. It is said the distress caused among many families and ‘cspgecially in the cases of the women press feeders, who had families to support, was truly heart- rending. Several women fainted on receiv- ing notice to quit and strong men were seen to leave with tears they could not suppress, gushing from their eyes. Mr. Defrecs has ever since the first day of the session last December importuned the appropriations Committee to either report the needed money to pay for the same, or have Congress stop ordering more printing done. ' as ournson. In the Treasury account with the late Rear Admiral Foote, the ugly word “de- faulter,” stands attached to the noble old heroe’s name, in connection with his un- settled pay account. It occurred in this Wise: by a provision of law, naval officers are allowed to draw at anytime, two months advance pay. The admiral drew his two months salary according to custom, some ten days prior to his death, and by another legal provision, all salaries cease at the death of any government employee. This left the admiral’s account not only open and unsettled, but short, to the extent of the time beyond which he lived. But whatever Treasury official took the responsibility of forcing a balance of the account by introducing such an unjust and opprobrious word, in connec— tion with the honored name of Admiral Foote, ought to receive as he deserves, an indignant dismissal. The attention of Sena- tor Platt has been called to the disgraceful circumstance, and he will not rest till the Treasury record of the patriot and hero, is left as spotless and untarnished as was his whole life, both public and private. 4 PRESIDENTIAL. The Springfield Republican has discovered another Conn. mare’s nest. It says the “Blaine Boom in Conn.” is headed by Senator Platt. The truth is, the Senator isn’t head— ing anybody’s “boom” just now. We have Carefully “interviewed" him and find he is outspoken, enthusiastic and pronounced for the man who shall be nominated at Chicago. Preferences he decidedly has, but they are not so stilted as that he desires to do or say any unwise thing which may cause a regret ‘after the acti of our National Convention. Gen. Hawley says he would personally pre- fer Senator Edmonds to any one named as a probable Republican candidate for our next President. Representative Miles plants him- self squarely ou‘ Senator Platt's platform, while Col. Waite would be delighted if as 'able and pure and deserving a man as John Sherman should be nominated, and yet he pledges his best efforts for Blaine, Grant, or any other stalwart, who shall be nominated. as our next standard bearer. Representative Phelps prefers ex—Gov. English to any other Democratic Presidential candidate, but is evidently much afraid that Tilden will bear off the democratic nemination. He is sure Grant is to be nominated by the Republicans and is glad of it, as he believes he will be easier defeated than Sherman, Blaine, Wash- bnrn or Edmunds. ‘Gen. Hawley has re— cently become so enthusiastic an Edmoad’s man, that he has had it in serious contem~ platiou to send his paper, the Consent, an open letter urging the great Senator’s merits, and claims. In the opinion of a number of democrats the recent dissenting opinion of Judge Field in the negro-jurors case stamps him as the man whom the party should place at the head of its presidential ticket. Judge Field has had no uncommon large Presiden— tial Bec’in his bonnet 'for a long time. A snnmrax BOOM. The Ohio Republican state convention to select delegates to the Chicago convention is to be held at Columbus on the 25th inst. The fixing of this early date is thought to be in Secretary Sherman’s presidential interest. PERSONALS. Collector Hollister, of Bridgeport, left for Conn., Friday. Gen. Alf. Terry, is here temporarily on assigned duty. Hon. S. W. Kellogg is here. Mr. Scarles, of New Haven, is on hand looking after the tariff rates on sugars _ Mrs. T. L. Steele and Mrs. D. S. Littleficld of Hartford, are lit the Riggs. Jolln Tweedy was last week confirmed as P M. at Danbury. Count dc Lcsseps is in the city hoping to get up a "boom” for his Isthmus Canal. He called at the White' House'accompnni‘ed by Secretary Evarts and Assistant Secretary Hay. The President received the distin< guishedengineer, and the interview lasted about an hour and a half, explaining the features of his canal project. Secretary Turner, of the Fairfield Insur ance 00., with his agreeable and accomplish— ed wife, “raided” the Capital on Thursday, and rushed for home next day, promising to pay the nation’s capital a'more thorough and appreciative visit again very soon. As Ever, B. On Saturday evening last, some twenty ladies and gentlemen, members of Concord Division, S. of T. visited Friendship Division S. of T. of New Canaan. The visitdrs reached New Canaan just too late to witness the initiation of eight new members. Since the first of January, Friend ship Division has initiated forty new mem- bers. Concord was also able to report a large accession of new members. Under “good and welfare,” songs recitations‘aud‘short ad- dresses clicted much deserved applause. Friendship has many excellent singers; but Concord bids fair to surpass the other Division in this part of their entertainment. See adv. in another column of auction sale of new carriages on Wednesday the 10ht,inst. The Ladles’ Union Temperance meeting on - Sunday afternoon was held at the First Bap- tist church. Quite a large addition has been made to the Beebe place, corner of North avenue and France street. The Pcws in the Second M. E. church, Rev. Mr. Wing's will be rented next Monday evening. See adv. Gil Birdsall’s team ran away on Friday last,spilling Birdsall out and breaking off one wheel of the wagon. Prof. Cyrus Northrop’s grandmother, Mrs. Fancher, died at South Salem, last week Monday, at the remarkable age of 101 years and 4 months. The new Gem puzzle, or game of fifteen has taken a pretty strong hold of some of our citizens. Prowitt, at the corner store, has it in a very handy shape. ' The schooner Liberty will not besold at auction, as advertised, having been disposed of at private sale. Mr. Martin H. Grifiing, of Danbury, was the-purchaser. Messrs. A. H. Hoyt & 00.. make their first bow of the season and give their Spring announcement in to-day’s paper. They are wide awake over there, and always ready to furnish good shoes of all kinds at reasonable ~ prices. a! The County Tax. The Selectmen have been called upon to pay another County tax of $5,593.22. one- quarter immediately and the balance before J one let. If this is Norwalk's fair propor- tion, it would seem that our County expenses are running pretty high,—much higher, if we are correctly informed than ever before. This increasing tax causes alarm, and makes town ofiicials growl. Is such an expense as this large tax represents really necessary ? Can it be stopped from increasing? Certainly our Representatives should look into the matter closely. ' Thc Adelphi. Commodore White is evidently determined not only to maintain the popularity. of this route, but also to do everything in his power to increase it. With this view he has put the steamer on the route some six weeks earlier than usual, and proposes to cut down the running time so as to give passengers more timein the city. The boat came up for the first time this season on Saturday afternoon last, bringing about one hundred passengers, arriving at South Norwalk about twenty— five minutes before her advertised time. During the summer she will probably do even better than this, and be able to hold her own with any boat on the sound. Old fea- tures which have been so popular in the past will be retained. Two landings will be made in New York, and one at Fulton Ferry, Brooklyn, which is also as good as a third in New York, for passengers can cross the Ferry and reach points down town with great con- venience. Passengers will probably reach this latter point during the summer in time to take the Grand Republic to Coney Island and Rockaway. At present the Adelphi is in command of Capt. G. F. Bolton, of the Grand Republic; John Ostram is first ofiice; Luke Schenck is pilot and has an assistant ; and the Engineer is a Mr. Corscaden ; Mr. Bodwell will have charge of baggage, 66c. Tickets for all stations on the Danbury Rail— road will. he sold on board. Capt. Perkins, the General Agent, came up on the boat Sat- urday night and remained in town over Mon- day looking after the affairs of the line.. Mr. Ackert will continue to fill the position of Steward ou the Adelphi, and may be relied upon to give as good satisfaction as hereto— fore. He will furnish cake, fruit, soda water, ice cream, &c., on' deck, while the dining sa- loon will be supplied with everything to be desired,and conducted on the European plan, pay for what you call for. . By getting dinner on board passengers will save much time in the city. Read his card in another column. , The late Dr. Barbour owned a valuable library, and was very free with his books, taking pleasure in loaning his patients especially such works as he thought would prove useful or interesting try-them. llis executor, Rev.

He now appealsto all persons having any of the said books in their possession to return the same to him at Once, as an act of simple justice to the family of the deceased. ——-____._-—_=—-_.- We had a pleasant call, last week, from our old-time friend ‘and fellow towusman, Wm. G. Lineburgh, Esq. He is the same genial and pleasant gentleman as of yore, and has for several years been located in Bridgeport, as the popular General Agent for the Hartford Steam Boiler insurance Go. He reports business good, the company insuring alarge number of boilers in this vicinity, and throught the country generally. Entertainments. On Wednesday evening, at Music Hall, we are to have the Neil Burgess company in Nasby’s drama, “Widow Bedott.” With such a combination, Nasby, Burgess, and the irrepressible Widow there must surely be lots of fun. Of this play the Baltimore Advertiser says :— “Thc house was an enthusiastic one, and Mr. Burgess and others were called before the curtain several times. The play is a new one, and while, as is always. the case with new plays, it is somewhat crude as yet, it contains many elements of decided promise for the future. When it is said that ‘Nasby’ is the author, it goes without further saying that fun—and good fun—predominates; indeed there are any number of points ill the dialogue that are of a high order of wit. The situations are decidedly effective, and the closing of the acts broadly humorous. The scene is laid in New England, and the central figure about whom the other charac- ters revolve, is drawn with bold strokes in a masterly manner. Mr. Burgess’ rendering of tke Widow was decidedly worthy of praise. * * * Asawhole, the play is well worth seeing.” ’ Manager Knapp announces the engagement of the noted actress Miss Fanny Davenport, for Thursday night, at Music Hall, on which occasion she is to appear as Mabel Renfrew, supported by a full company, in Daly’s great success, “Pique.” The play and the actress will be sure to draw. The Chicago Tribune says: Miss Davenport is certainly the most at- tractive Mabel Reufrew we have had since the play was originally produced here. ,She dresses superbly, and the haughty, impetuous beauty, who is at one time a weak flirt and again a deeplydnjured wife, was represented with as much fidelity as. the outline given her by the author would permit. She blazes up into a splendid burst ofiwrath and scorn in a scene where she tells her husband of the true relations existing between them, and she be- comes tenderly pathetic and “pure womanly” in the subsequent scenes, when she finds where-her real duty lies. Miss Kate Field appeared at the Opera House, last Tuesday night, in her musical monologue "Eyes and Ears in London.” 1101' audience was not large enough to inspire much enthusiasm. but the lady faithfully rendered every detail of the programme with much care. She presented a fine appearance, being elegantly dressed in white silk. The. stage was set as a parlor, and she talked in a conversational tone describing amusing scenes very cleverly, telling short stories, and occa— sionally singing a song. The entertainment is cleverly planned, various scenes are acted with much skill, the singing is better than we often hear, various novelties are intro— duced, and yet after all there is a feeling that the cultured lady has “stooped to con. quer”—and'missed her lnark,—for the (allur— tainment is above the masses while the “vari- cty actress" tone pervading it will hardly at. tract thc higher classes sufficiently to make it a great success. ’ The Concert given by Gilmore's Band, at Music Hall, Saturday evoning, was thorough- ly excellent. Like most CnlCl‘lllllllnelllsOf a really high order it failed to draw a very large audience, but the people in attendance were appreciative and called for a repetition of nearly everything on the programme As the Band was to return to New York that evening, there was some cutting of the pro- gramme and “Columbia" was hardly reu- dercd with full effect. Frost’s Allegor‘y, “Jcphtlls’s Daughter," was given at Music Hall, city, last Thursday and Fridag evenings. The various parts were taken by amateurs. Meeting of Board of Trade next Friday evening. Two ladies were immersed at the Baptist churchon Sunday evening last. A “clam shell digger” is now at work in the harbor, clearing out stones, etc. .

Miss Peaslee in relation to her new plan for furn— 'ishing our citizens with pure milk of the best quality. The milk which she proposes to furnish in bottles will be from Alderney cows. Mr. George Bell arrived home on Saturday last, from New Orleans, where he has been living for some time past. He is new travel- ing with an invalid gentleman of that city, who will soon leave New York for California or Empe. CITY ITEMS. _‘ BY OUII LOCMJ REPORTER.

We hear it rumored that a large hat man— ufacturing company wants to locate in this city provided suitable inducements are offered for them to do so. If the rumor prove true we hope our public spirited citizens will see to it that the proper inducements be made and thus secure to our city another manufac- turing company. .

There are nine other buildings of various kinds in this city nearing completion. The inside work to the new corset factory is being rapidly pushed forward, and manu- facturing will be commenced in a few days. A new furniture store has been located in the store formerly occupied by J. W. Dakc. J. H. Brown will start out with Barnum's advance coach on the first of April next. The dismal sound .of the fog horn on Eaton’s Neck was in_keeping with the dreary weilther of Sunday afternoon.

What a difference there is between now and four months ago, when the “Great Reformation,” for such it was in every sense of the word, took place. Then rum was dragging down hundreds of our :best men, young and old, to degradation and misery and a druukard’sfgrave in spite of the in- fluence of the churches and temperance peo- ple, and it seemed as if :nothing could be done to stay the power of rum, but the prayers of those christian women composing the Gospel Temperance Union have been heard, and today the power of rum is on the decrease, and there is gladness in many a home. Meetings are held in the reform men's room three nights in thé week and are always crowded, and every Sunday afternoon a meeting is held in Military Hall by the ladies and are largely attended. The association is gaining notoriety throughout the State, and almost weekly invitations are received for some of its members to take part in temper- ance meetiings. On Thursday evening a delegation of about one hundred and fifty will go to Bridgeport, on invitation of the Good Samaritans, a temperance organization of that city, and take part in a temperance demonstration to be held in that place, and on Sunday some of its members went to Danbury and Mill Plain to participate in meetings. = Mayor Swartz having exercised his right veto, the South Norwalk Council, last week Monday evening, passed the saloon closing bill over his veto and against the vigorous opposition of Deputy Sheriff Dono- van.

We are pleased to learn that the prelimi- nary canvass for the proposed histOry of Fair- field county is progressing quite satisfactori- ly, although the publication of the work .is not as yet assured. The work is of such magnitude that it not only requires -a vast amount of labor in its compilation but a large expenditure of money, and its publica ~ tion cannot be undertaken without the hearty co—operation of the substantial citizens of our county. The plan of the work is admir- able in its conception, and we have reason to believe that the gentlemen who propose pub- lishing it, are competent to execute it in all its details with ability and skill. Should its success he finally .ensured, every effort will be made to make it a standard work in all respects. It will doubtless be the only his- tory of Fairfield Co. published for a genera— tion. probably for many generations, and the importance of the work cannot be overesti- mated. We trust that the gentlemen who are now looking over the ground in advance, will find a cordial response from the repre- sentative' citizens in every town in the county—Standard. As many our readers may be ignorant of the plan' and scope of its work, we give the following brief outline: The work will be compiled and classified under proper head- ings as far as practicable a few of which are here enumerated: Geological, geo— graphical, descriptions of the Indians who occupied this portion of the State at the time of settlement; first settlements, character of pioneers and incidents of pioneer life, organ- ization of the county nude towns with sub- divisions to 1880; agricultural and fruit inr terests,mauufacturing and industrial pursuits, the press and publishing interests, learned professions bench and bar, medical, &c. The general history proper will be closed with a history of various regiments and organiza— tions enlisted from Fairfield County during the war of the rebellion, with names of the ofiicers and enlisted men. Following the county history will appear histories of Bridge- port, Norwalk, Stamford, Danbury, South— port, Westport, and all villages with their varied interests, written in a concise manner, under proper division and classification of subjects, commencing with their earliest set- tlement and following down to the present day. In the same way will be introduced a concise history of each town from its organ— ization, giving its settlers by name and all incidents of interest, descriptions of the schools and churches. agricultural ststjs- tics, and in fact everything that will tend to place before the.citizens a record of their town, reliable and complete. A representa- tive of the firm is now in our midst consult— ing with leading citizens regarding the work, and we trust that our people will give the enterprise their earnest support. 0 .

The Utah and Pleasant Valley Railroad, now completed, will be a. continuation of the Southern Utah Railroad, bearing in an Eas— tern direction towards Leadvflle, to which place it will doubtless eventually be built. The line of the Utah and Pleasant Valley Road, which is of sixty miles in length, runs through a magnificent field of the very best quality of bituminous coa1,peeuliarly adapted for the manufacture of coke for smelting pur- pose. The land where this coal is embedded belongs to the Company, and is‘ the onlyinnd in all that region where the coal can be found. The rapid developement of silver mines in that section, the extensive works, now in operation, of the Horn Silver Mining'Com— pany, and the extensive smelting furnaces at Sandy, thirteen miles south of Salt Lake City, will all require large amount of coal and coke, and yet the present amount of say, 15,000 tons of coal, and 20,000 tons of coke, is in its infancy. The future demand must be greatly augmented in a. largely increasing ratio from year to year, as the mines are de veloped, and the country built up. The re- sourscs of the coal field belonging to the Utah and Pleasant Valley Railroad Company are practically inexhaustible, so that its income from the mining and transportation of coal alone, at highly rcmuncrative prices, makes the prospects of the road as. a. paying inves— ment of the most brilliant character. Other sourses of income—the transportation of lumber and passengers—must also be very considerable. The seven per cent. gold first mortgage bonds of the Utah and Pleasant Valley Road are now offered at 95. Its bonded debt is $900,000, while a low estimate of its ,net earnings as the present time is $400,000. The interest of $63,000 on the whole amount of its bonds is payable in New York. Mr. H. P. De Graaf, President of the Bowery National Bank, and Mr. T adore Wilkins, of 67 Bowery, are the true ces of the bonds. Both of these gentlemen accepted the trusteeship only when fully convinced of the through worthiness and great prospects of the road. The estimated receipts and ex— penses of the road may be stated as follows : l5,000 tons of coal, at $6 per ton ....... $90,000 60 20.000 tons of coke at $20 ............... 400,000 00 Lumber ................................. 50,000 00 Passengers and general freight ....... 50,000 00 Gross earnings ................
