'0 CHARLES OLMBTIAD; NORWALK GAZETTE, WEDNE ESDAY. DECEMBER 25, Housatonic Railroad The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Housatonic R. R. Co., was Mid at their ofiice in Bridgeport last week. The Board of Directors submitted the following report of the financial condition of the company, and its earnings and ex- penses for the fiscal year ending Sept. 30, 1889: The su1plus for the year amounts to $115, 958. 31. This' 18 an increaee of $38, - 974.40 over the surplus of last :year, after charges and rentals. The passenger business has improved, and notwithstanding a voluntary reduction of passenger rates, the passenger receipts for the year have increased $22,180.25. The freight receipts have also increased during the past year $63,320.63 over the previous year. During the past year, as in previous years, unusual and extraordinary expenses have been inc11rred,.for the pur- pose of improving the property and to provide for the continued increasing bus- iness of the cempany. Tnc bridges on the State Line Branch have all been rebuilt, and new iron girder bridges have been put in at Pittsfield and Falls Village, on Main Line, and st Branch- ville on Danburyds Norwalk Division, and several small wooden bridges on main line also have been rebuilt, and a quantity of new steel rails. have been laid. Theequrp- ment of the company has been kept in thorough repair and the physical condi. tion of the road has been very much im- proved. The equipment has been further in- creased by the purchase of four locomo- tives, seven first-class passenger coaches, two baggage cars and one combination car; but With the above addition to the motive power, it will be necessary to still further add to it during the coming year, by the purchase of more locomotives. to properly take care of and handle the in. creasing business. The company met with severe losses during the past year, on account of the Wilson’s Point fire and from othe1 acci- do his, but they have'all been paid for out of the earnings of the road and charged to operating expenses. On account of the close business rela- tions and traflic arrangements existing be. tween the New Haven 12 Derby railroad and this company, it is deemed advantage- ous that they should be operated as one pIOperty. The board of directors there- fore leascd the New Haven 1%, ‘Derby rail- road for a term of 99 years, to take effect July 10, 1889, which lease was afterwards ratified by the stockholders of both com. panles, at a special meeting called for that purpose. The New Haven & Derby rail- road is now operated and known. as the New Haven ‘85 Derby division of the Hon- satonic railroad. The prospects for the next fiscal year are most encouraging. The annual report shows that during the year, 1,159,235 passengers were carried, an increase of 137, 610 over last year; 817- 344 tons of freight were also carried which was an increase of 114,073 over last year. The system I has 'a‘ total of .47 locomotives; 74 passenger coaches; 10 combination cars; 21 baggage.~ and mail cars; 3 sleeping cars; 4drawing-room cars; 190 merchandise ears; 559 fast freight line cars; 590 coal and platform cars; and 21 stock and other cars. The reports were gratifying and the owners and stockholders of the company express great satisfaction at the results that have been accomplished and at the stockholders' meeting were loud in their prairie of the efficient management of 001.

Our Bridgeport Letter. Captain John Rylands, now conductor on the Shore Line Division of the N‘. Y., N. H. & H. R. R., has been appointed Chief of Police in this City, in place of W. E.‘Marsh who resigned. This is no new business for Captain Rylandsj as he held this position for four years, at a for- mer period. Commissioner of Charities John N. Hewley has taken a great-“deal of interest in the welfare of the poor, and particularly the poor little children. He made an appeal through the newspapers for cast aside toys. or any other gifts that the people might have, to help these little destitute ones. The citizens have re- sponded liberally and promptly, and many a little child will be made happy during the Christmas time, by Mr. Haw- ley’s efiorts. It is stated that 1,200 chil- dren are under the Town’s care, and other various charitable organizations, and about 500 of these little ones are under 10 years 'of age.

Hawes’ Opera House was filled to completion, by an appreciahve audience. The chorous was arranged from the foot lights to the rear of' the stage, tier upon tier, which had a very pleasing efl'ect, as every singer could be recognized by; their friends among the audience. The singing by W. H. Reiger the celebrated tenor from New York, Mr. Robinson Basso, and Miss HortenSe Pierce, was much appreciated, and had to respond to numerous encores. The Stoddard lecture have been liber- ally attended, and have been intensely interesting. Mr. J. L. Harlem has been: confined to his house by illness, for _ the past menth. His disease seems to puzzle the doctors. At present he is in a comfortable condi- tion. With a Merry Christmas to you and your readers, I am, w. G. 1.. Bridgeport, December 23, 1889. ._.___..+,______ A 3165, 000.000 Pay-Roll. An accomplished statistician has just completed a series of interestingr‘ocalcula tions, showing the total numbe1 of persons employed' in all manne1 of capacities by the United States government. . The results of his calculations show that there are 88, 000 employed' 1n all branches of the postal serviCe alone, and 62, 000 others filling positions in the legislative, judicial and miscellaneous divisions of the govelnment, with some 35, 000 privates in the army, navy and ma1ine corps, and be- tween 12, 000 and 15, 000. men and boys who gain their livelihood from the Gov- ernment for werk directly incident to the increase of the navy and the construction of heavy guns, making a grand total of about 200,000 persons enrolled in the ser- vice of Uncle Sam. The number who would like to add themselves to this vast army, in the ex- perience of. the active pol1t1cians, is some- thing like 6,000,000 or 8,000,000 more, says the Philadelphia Press. The postal employcs comprise, in addition to the clerks at the Post Office Department, all mail contractors, mail messengers, clerks in the railway mail service, postmastcrs, with their assistants, and letter carriers. In the military and naval list proper only the names of ofilcers are given, while the pxivates are not counted. There are 25, 000 of them in the army 8 ,250 1n the navy, and 2, 000111 the marine corps. The civil service branch includes, besides the postoffice people, all employes subordinate to the executive departments, the officials of congress, all the secondary and independent bureaus. the government printing office, the Smithsonian institute and national museum, all the Indian agen- cies, mints, custom houses, all the benev- olent and philanthropic institutions in Washington and the government of the Distxict of Columbia. Taking the statistician’s estimate of the average salary received by all the govern- ment’s servants, not counting the privates in the army, navy and marine corps, the annual pay-roll aggregates not far from $165, 000, 000. Assuming that out of the 65,000,000 in- habitants of the United States at least 26,000,000 are grown up persons, men and women, there would seem to be only one Officeholder in‘ every circle of 157 grown persons, and one Officeholder in every collection of 393 men, women and children. - ' ROUGH ON TOOTHACHE.15c.

It is evident from facts well known that the impression made by our selectmen on the company’s representa- tives during the preliminaries to the re. cent Compo and West Field’s Crossings was ofa character so pleasant that the crossing work alluded to would have been done in the near future without an order.

Mr. Whipple, of Hartford,,preacho ed at Memorial church, on Sunday. The Board of Trade have succeeded in doing a good thing to be added to the number already performed, i.-c.: the se- curing‘ of a Western Union Telegraph office in this village.

She will be ready to sail the match race that she is entered in, some time in May. ' The “Daisy” Will no longer belong to the Cedar Point Yacht club, but to ‘the New York club. It is claimed that she was bought for her speed, and the price Mr. McCready got fo1 her was eight times larger than any offer that he had received for her here. Mr. Susama Wehida, aJapancsc student at Yale, was present at an entertainment at “the Cohgregatibnal parsonage, last week Tuesday. He was dressed in the costume of his country and illustrated the custom of eating with chop sticks, and by descIibing Japanese ways. Rev. and Mrs. Baclr us, Mrs. Landon Ketchum, Mrs B. L. Woodworth and others, aided in enabling the company to enjoy the affair. Work at the Saugatuck button shop will cease to-night, and be resumed Thursday, January 2. “PAUL." -..... ._.___“ >__..__..
