The annual meeting of the atockholdora of the rennRyWania Railroad Company was held this morning in the main hall of the Assem bly Building, Tenth and Cheanut streeU. There were a large number of stockholders in attendance. Hon. Daniel M. Fox presided, and Joseph Lesley, Esq., acted as Beorotary. The Twenty-third Annual lleport of the Board of Directors was then read, as fol lows: Ornca or ran Pbnnrti.vanu Riilroap Co.,) Pnii.ADHi.rBiA, Feb. in, 1ST0. f To the ShareJiolderi of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company: Your Diroctors take pleasure in submitting to you the satisfactory results of the operation of yonr railways for the year 18C9, as follows: .

Miscellaneous sources. $31,832-88 , 83,919-91 115,752-79 Increase as above stated $17,314-42 The apparent decrease in first class pas sengers, shown above, is explained by the circumstonoe that there is included in the earnings of 18G8 for military transportation, due in previous years, $113,433 29-100, whilst the collections from the same Houroe in 18G9 were but $5,655 66-100. By adding this amount to the reported decrease, and deduct ing the sum from that received in 18U8 ($113,433 24-100), it will have an actual in crease of first class passenger traffic in 1869 over 1868, of $75,944 75-100. The gross revenues for 1809 are equal to $48,186 62-100 per mile of the main line of railroad. The whole number of passengers carried in 1868 was 3,747,178, and in 1869, 4,229,363 an increase in the number carried of 482,185, or nearly 13 per cent. The average distance travelled by each passenger was 34 22-100 miles, being 1 32-100 miles less than in 1868; showing this increase still to be mainly upon the local traffic of the line. The number of tons of freight moved (in cluding 410,966 tons of fuel and other mate rials transported for the company) was 4,992,025 embracing 2,329,358 tons of coal. The whole tonnage of your railway exceeds that of last year 270,010 tons, of whioh in crease 264,309 tons is bituminous coal. The average charge per net ton per mile upon freights during the year was 1 718-1000 against 1 906-1000 cents last year, and per passenger 2 51-100 cents against 2 71-100 cents last year; or an average decrease in freight charges of 9 9-10 per cent, and in passenger charges of 7 4-10 per cent. The earnings of the Philadelphia and Erie Railroad in 1869 were: Passengers $672,964-46 Freights 2,507,083-93 Express matter 31,327-51 Mails 24,616-67 Miscellaneous sources.. 26,713-73 Tntal rarcfiedlnir $11,000 per mile of road) $3.282, 705-29 The oreratins expenses during the same period were: Conducting transporta tion....? $671,606-07 Motive power 749,641-83 Maintenance of cars... 213,546-07 Maintenance of way... 733,415-17 $2,808,209-13 To which add SO per cent of earnings, pay able to the Philadel phia and Erie Rail road Company 956,00912 3,334,31825 Showing a loss to this company in opera ting the line under the lease (la addition to interest upon the capi tal Invested In rolling stock, etc.,) of which is $21,601-69 less than in 1868. $01,512-96 The low rates at which the Philadelphia bti.1 TM Tiaitrnad Comnanv is compelled to carry its freights, averaging but 1 4-10 cents per ton per mile, and the small passenger business it can command from the sparsely Doonlated country that its road traverses, added to its greater distances as a through line from Eastern cities to all points in the West, are the reasons that more than 70 ter cent, of its receiDts are required to meet its working expenses. The operations of this railway during the past year have been carefully ana economically conducted oy a. Ii. Tvler, liisq., its Ueneral superintendent In this connection it mav be stated that, wine to some errors in the looation of this line, but mainly from financial sacrifices in curred during its construction, this railway, with a sincle track of only 288 miles in length, laid with lighter iron rails, and but partially ballasted, cost the Philadelphia and jane company, wiuiuu any equipment, $19,759,171-92, whilst tne rennsyivania Rail road, passing over a mucn more expensive country to build a railway upon, with a double track of 858 miles, laid with heavy iron and well ballasted, Including a third or single track of 29 miles between Lancaster and Jliddletown, and branches to Hollidaysburg and Indiana of 26 miles, in all equal to 771 milaa of ainele railway, exolusive of sidings. fa mnresented by $21,346,02456. difference of less than $1,600,000 upon the cost of over 205 per cent, more i single traoK railway. Thete f aots are ref orreci to at this time only to show why it in that the shareholders of one of these lines have reoeived regular divi dends, while the other line has been unable to earn them. - .

The working expenses of the other lines of railway leased by this company, not al ready referred to all of whioh are in Penn sylvania show a balance of receipts over expenses. The interest held by this company in the Pennsylvania Canal Company is steadily im proving in value, and when the enlargement is complete it will become a profitable addi tion to your investments in other works. Its cost stands upon your books at $1,101,156. 'lhe coal traffic, of this company is gradually assuming large proportions, and already gives to your railway a constant business at rates that yield a very small profit per ton; but on the large amount transported (2,329,358 tons) the net revenue from it is of considerable im portance. Upon the rmladelphia ana .ne portion of the company's lines, this traffic is chiefly made up from the transportation of anthra eito coal to supply the demands of the oil and lake regions, and amounted in 1869 to 138, 133 tons, exolusive of 10 7, 383 tons that were sent to Western New York via Elmira. Its bitu minous coal fields are too far from the lakes to compete upon equal terms with those of Ohio and Western Pennsylvania in the mar kets of the West. A portion of the bitumi nous coal fields upon this railway east of the tributaries of tne Uhio are favorably situated for the Atlantic markets, but they have not yet been developed to any material extent. The demand for bituminous coal of the Allegheny region in the Eastern markets has been con fined, until recently, to blacksmiths, but the high price that has prevailed for some years for anthracite coal Las caused it to be intro duced to a considerable extent for produoing steam and the manufacture of iron. From the limited extent of the anthraoite fields and the greater cost of mining this variety, it is reasonable to infer that the consumption of the bitnminous coals will continue to increase on the seaboard. Upon the mainline of yonr rail way and its branches, the movement of anthracite coal is yet inconsiderable, whilst the transportation of the bituminous has been large for the manufacture of gas for Eastern cities and the other purposes already mentioned. This material exists in inexhaustible quantities along the whole line of your railway from the summit of the Allegheny to its western terminus, and in the Broad Top Mountain (already extensively developed) south of Huntingdon. A branch from the main line at Tyrone to the town of Clearfield outs the Allegheny coal-field, and upon this mining is now carried on to a large extent, whilst another branch also extends from the same point to Look Haven on the Susquehanna river. From Altoona a branch extends to Hollidaysburg and Newry, a distance of nine miles. The last two men tioned, in connection with a portion of the main line, traverse the valley at the base of the Allegheny Mountains for seventy miles, commencing on the west branch of the Sus quehanna river, and afford ample opportuni ties to develop this whole region by short branch lines into the coal-fields at their sum mit wherever desired. In this valley and in the mountains and valleys that lie on its eastern border, there is an abun dance of ore easily mined and . of a quality that will ' make .' the best quality of iron already , celebrated for its strength, ana touna w ce superior to any other in the manufacture of cannon. The proximity of these ores to coal and limestone gives to this ' region' ' advantages for the manufacture of iron in till its varieties and uses, a claim equal If not superior to that of any other whioh advantages will doubt less be improved by capitalists, and thus largely inorease the population upon your line and it local trafflo the moot reliable businon of your road. . Your railway is there fore not dopendont upon its through trafllo for its support, although this item is import ant and nooemary to the inter whioh brought it into exiHtenee. The original policy of this company was to reach the trafflo of the Northwest, West, and Southwest by assisting the construction of tributary lines leading to the markets of theso sections, but not to control their management beyond the State of Pennsylvania. With this object in view, it gave to the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne, and Chicago Railway Company, at several periods of its extromest need, large advances to complete its line and preserve its proierty to its shareholders, under written pledges that its Eastward ousiness should follow the direction whioh prompted and jus tified this company in granting the assistance so earnestly solicited. Under tho conviction that this agreement was ample, it was not believed that further protection to your interests in the Northwest was either desirable or important The rapid growth of this section of the country, however, placed that company, in a few years after its com pletion, in a condition of great prosperity. It then, unmindful of its former obligations, endeavored to seek other Eastern oonneotions that it oould control through this oompany, at all times gave to its business the same rates per mile that it charged upon its own line, upon both passengers and freight. Extensive surveys were accordingly made of (he regions east of Pittsburg by that company to find a suitable line for this ob ject, followed by material pecuniary advances to a railway oompany whose road it was pro posed to use as a part of this rival route to the East; but during the progress of these movements, an effort was inaugurated by the Erie Railway Board to absorb not only the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne, and Chicago line, but nearly all the Western connections of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, whioh only failed from a misapprehension of the terms of the law under which they proposed to accomplish their objeot, and subsequent adverse legislation procured by the President of the Fort Wayne Company. In view of these extraordinary movements, it became evident to your board that this company must depart from the policy that had heretofore governed it, and obtain direct control of its Western connections. Nego tiations were accordingly opened with the directors of the Fittsburg, Fort Wayne, and Chicago Railway Company, who had also be come apprehensive (under the vicious system that had been developed in New York, by which stock and bondholders of railways and their agents sold their proxies to vote at the elections of the oompany, without any regard to the interests involved in the issue), that thoir own work might fall into hands whose object would be to seriously impair the per manent interests of their constituents. After a lengthened negotiation with the directors of that oompany, a lease was agreed upon, and this company entered into posses sion of the Pittsburg, r ort Wayne, and Chi oa go Railway on the 1st of July last. The terms of this lease, which gave to the share holders 12 per cent, on their capital, were at the time considered very onerous, and only justified by the circumstances already referred to. . lhe results of its operation, however, lor the first hall year, notwithstanding a diminished revenue of $304,59590, compared with that of the same months in 1868, have, through a vigorous retrenchment of expenses, left a net profit of $36,79443 overall out lays, including the semi-annual contribution of $52,050 to the sinking fund. For these favorable results the .company is much indebted to the energetio and economi cal administration of its an airs by d. JN. MoCullough, Esq., its General Manager. The loss in the gross receipts of this rail way ocours mainly at Chicago, and is, to a considerable extent, due to the low rates upon west-bound traffic that prevailed from the beginning of the lease to near the close of the season. The low price of grain, and the bad condition of the common roads leading to railway stations in the West, have been the chief cause of the falling off in the receipts of the line during the past few months. The business of this railway must, however, con tinue to increase witn tne advance in popu lation and wealth of the seotion of country it accommodates, and we believe that its lease will prove a judicious operation for the com. pany. The same reasons that induced this com' pany to become the lessee of the Fort Wayne line, prompted tne nttsburg, Cincinnati and t. Louis Itailway company, in which tins company holds a majority of its shares, to take at an earlier period a lease of tne lines owned by the Columbus, Chicago and Indiana Central Railway Company, lhe results of this lease have not proved so satisfactory The railway was found, contrary to expecta tions, to be, to a considerable extent, in an unfinished and dilapidated condition, defi cient in depot accommodations, with a limited rolling stock largely out of repair, and shops entirely inadequate to place this machinery in Rood order. These deficiencies had to be supplied, and in the meantime its road and roUinc stock could . only be placed in condi tion for economical service at great extra cost. Upon a representation of these facts to the company, modifications in the lease have been made by it, which will, it is believed, render it acceptable to the lessees and to this . I - 1 1 X -.1.1. -IJ company, ineir largest suHJiuioiuem. These several arrangements still left our connections with Cincinnati, the great trade centre of the Southwest, incomplete, the business with whioh has been steadily in creasinor since the termination of the late war. To perfect these the Pittsburg, Cincin nati, and St. Louis Railway Company has also agreed upon a lease with the Little Miami Railroad Company of their line, through whose railroad our connection with Cincin nati will be made, thus enabling this com pany to participate in the growing prosperity oi mat eity. The connections of your line with St Louis, the creat city of the Mississippi val ley, are now complete by way of Crestline, and nearly so noon the shorter and more direct route through Columbus, Indianapolis, Terre Haute, and Vandalia. With these ar rangements, all of which will be perfected this year, we will limit our extensions, unless some overruling necessity should require us hereafter to go further. We have no interest in any line bevond the Mississippi river. Unwilling as we have been to enter upon this poliey, ft careful review of the subject since its adoption leaves no doubt as to its wisdom, under the ciroumstanoes that have been developed within the past eighteen months. This oompany has not attempted, neither does It propose, to absorb the natural connec tions oi either of the trunk lines. There is business sufficient to give to each of these voinpanioa ample revenues to meet tne rote rest upon any reasonable cost of their works, if equitable rates between the shipper and railway company are at all times preserved, without a resort by one line to take from another by reduced charges business whioh it othorwwe would have had an equal ohance to secure at fair prices. Suoh attempts, though often repeated, have at all times failnd to secure the professed objeot in view. They have ttot ' infrequently been coiwmenood to influence 4h markflt nrinA of thn nil urea nf tho oompany, in disregard of its permanent interests, with a view to benefit the stock speculations of its managers or thoir friends: and at other times from the recklessness of a sub-agent, which his superiors refuse to cor rect or to acknowledge, but more frequently with the unreasonable expectation of gaining oiiie aavaniage over a rival interest. 4 here has been muoh oomnlaint by the publio in conseouonce of tho hieher ehareoa made by many railway companies for short than Ions distanoea. In this nolior. to a limited degree, those companies for obvious reasons are fully justified; but in many oases this practice has been oarried to an unwar rantable extent. The rule that has governed this oompany is, not to charge to any inter mediate . point a greater rate than Is required to one at a loncor distance. Under this rule. whioh we think entirely defensible, the ave rage charges for the through and looal busi ness per ton per mile passing over your line are nearly equaL ine rennsyivania llailroad Company was organized mainly with a view to promote the commercial and manufacturing interests of the city of Philadelphia and the interior of the State, and its management has kept these objects steadily in view, giving at all times to this city the differences in transportation to and from the West, due to its geographical position. This policy has had a marked influ ence in developing the manufacturing indus try of the city, but it seerus only to have preserved its oommeroial interest from retrograding. With a view to sustain and promote this interest, every effort has been maae oy this oompany to reduce the looal expenses on produce at Philadelphia, that necessarily occur in its transfer at seaports, to minimum; but the pecuniary and shipping facilities required to second these movements and retain the business of the West at this city until forwarded to its destination appear to be deficient, and in consequenoe the larger share of it, notwithstanding these advantages, cognizing the importance to the interests of this oompany of building up the business of this port, will cheerfully unite in any reason able plan by which this object can be secured. In our last annual report the diversity of railway guages between the East and the West was alluded to. Since that period all of your immediate Western connections have reduced the guages of their lines from 4 feet 10 inches to 4 feet 9A inches, which, when their machinery is adapted to it, will be fur ther reduced to 4 feet 9 inches the presen t guage of the Pennsylvania Railroad. Since your last meeting the State of Penn sylvania has cancelled and disposed of its lien upon the Philadelphia and Erie Railroad to the Allegheny Railroad Company, accepting therefor a second lien upon the line that the company is building between the Philadelphia and Juie Kauroad and its present road, at the mouth of the Mahoning; the bonds given to the State being guaranteed by the several railway companies over whose lines the traffic of the new road is to pass to Philadelphia and Pittaburg, thus insuring to the Common wealth the ultimate payment of its original claim of three and a half millions of dollars, and at the same time enabling the Allegheny Valley ' Railroad . Company to develop, more promptly than it otherwise could have done, a section of the State that is - rich in minerals and other products all of. which will remain undeveloped until this highway is con structed. The lqcation of this line has not yet been completed, but the character of the country, as shown by recent surveys, will render the construction of a railway costly. This route is generally known as the "Low Grade Line" between the East and the West, the construc tion of which will soon be required to aooom modate the increasing tonnage between theso sections. Its gradients against the heavy traffio may be confined within eleven feet Eer mile. About a half of a million of dollars ave already been expended upon its gradua tion, and its total cost is estimated at about $5,50,000. The Directors take pleasure in again ex pressing the obligations of the company to its General Superintendent, E. II. Williams, Esq., and two assistants, John A. Wilson, Chief Engineer, and A. J. Cassatt, Superin tendent of Motive Power, for their careful and judicious management of the interests committed to their charge. I , Respectfully submitted. By order of the Board. . J. Edgab Thomson, President. The Treasurer's report was then read, ex hibiting in detail the same facts set forth in the report of the Board of Directors. On motion of George J. Derbyshire, the reports of the President and Secretary were adopted unanimously. Mr. Solomon W. Roberts offered the fol lowing: Resolved, That the thanks of the stock holders of this company are hereby oordially extended to the Board of Directors of the company; also to the President, J. Edgar Thomson; to each of the Vice-Presidents; to the heads of the general departments, and to all their subordinates, for the integrity, ability, and great success with which they have conducted the business of the company during the past year. The resolution was unanimously adopted, and the meeting then adjourned. CITY ITEnN.
