Tho result of the election was In' no sense a surprise, as it was known that Mr. owen would, under no circumstances, ac cept a renomination, that ha desired lo bo succeeded by Vice-President George De B. Kelm, and Ibat he held, a week before the election, sufficient proxies to elect him. The following was the ticket elected, there being cast for it 391,100 shares, and none against It. President, George De B, Keim. Managers: .T. B. Llppincolt, Henry Lewis, V. Williamson, .Edward C. Knight, Jos- ph B. Altemus, Loring A. Robertson. Treasurer, William A. Church.

He will retire into private life. The meeting was called lo order at noon uy William Li. Mueller. E. S Whelen was made chairman. Tbero were present about 300 of the stockholders. THE ANNUAL BKFOBT. President Gowen read tho annual report of the Board ol Managejs. From tho port it appears that the total surplus for 883, over all liabilities, was $2,137,233 OA, which sum would be sufficient to pay a ividend of 7 per cent on the preferred stock, per cent upon the common, and leave i balance of $(17,000 applicable to the Inter est on the deferred bonds. The total net profit of the railroad, and of the coal and ron companies, was $13,383,842 07;' the rentals, n,412,426 67; all interest accounts, $6,810,182 96. The profit from the New Jersey Central Railroad during the six months since the lease has been in opera lion, was $633,482 57. Tho total number ol passengers carried was $18,19364; tons of coal, 11,449,373; tona of merchandise, 7, 139,682; total tonnage, including passengers, 22,933,311 tons. ihe report recommends the creation of a collateral trust loan of $12,000.000, at 4 per cent, to pay off the floating debt and the outstanding mortgage bonds, and alsi tit purchase 30,000 eharea of Jersey Central lock, In order to obtain complete control ol that road. The report pictures the future cf the Reading Road as full of hope and promise, and points with satisfaction to the lease of tho Jersey Central under the most lavorat'le circumstances. Ution motion of Mr. Antelo the report was unanimously adopted and ordered lo be printed. The motion also carried with it' Ilia ratification of the leases, contracts and agreements therein indicated and ad vised. Tim mvinxNO anwxN ekcouukkds Mr Gowen then asked that a vote be tak en uHn a resolution that the stockholders mtut in two weeks, on tho 28th, to vote upon the recommendations of the report, and also upou the question of declaring aiviiienu. lie sain lie would vote his pro xies In favor ofa dividend of 21 tier cent upon the preferred stock and 3 per cent upon the common stock. It was yoted to meet on tho day indicated for the purpose suggested by Mr.Gowen'a resolution. William W. Harkneas resd resolutions numerously signed by prominent bankers and business men In New York and Phila delphia, calling upon Mr. Gowen not to resign the Presidency of tho Reading, eulo gizing hie course in the position. The paper was greeted with applause, and a vote was about to be taken upon it, when Mr. Gowen jumped up, and said he trusted his friend would not press tho resolutions, as it would place him in an embarrassing and awkward position, especially as he held a large ma jority tot the proxies. Ho felt flattered by the resolutions, but ho trusted tbey would bo withdrawn. They were accordingly withdrawn, but were placed upon the ruin utes. Wiltism E. Lockwood read a long paper ahuwing the prosperous condition of the coa lands ol tbe company. During the meeting Vice-President Kiem sat iu modest retirement back among the stockholders, by the side of Senator Eckley U. Coxe. In front of them sat a geutleinan a stockholder, who bore a striking resem bianco to William II. Vanderbllt, and be was mistaken by many for the millionaire, He consequently became the unconscious ob"ectof the openmouthed curiosity of some oftbe rural stockholders.who occupied adja cent seats. He laughed hartily when told ol the great attention he was receiving under false colors. As the election progressed.tbere was a general move of the stockholders to ward the platform, where Mr. Klein, the new president, was rtanding arm in arm with Mr. Gowen, and bo was kept pretty busy shaking hands. Among those upon the fliair were Mr. James McIIenry, London, England, and Lord Bury, who ac compauied bun to this country. Tim nkw raxsiosNT.

The CW Trade Journal i The tempera ture of the oentng week of the new year has been of such a character as to mako everyone think of their luel supply; the clerk of the weather is apparently In league with the coal operator), and whereas every portion of this trade was In the deepest of the blues in December, its entire tone is now changed. Points are given tor a raise in the value of coal, and we already bear of some stiffening in rates, say ten or fifteen cents er ton nearer the circular than they were a fortnight ago. In the course of a week or ten days there may be even a hard- e'r feeling than at present, for the stocks are working ntt quite rapidly, and the effect on the market will then be more readily dis cernible. It is slated that there is nn poa sibility of tbe present arrangement being modified, in any way, and those who want coal will do well lo govern themselves ao cordingly.

The Parrlih Coal Company. In granting a charter to the Parrish Coal Company of Plymouth, Luzerne county, Saturday, Gov. Pattison took the ground that the object or tbe law of 1S74 is to liber alize the issuing of letters patent, so that all corporations which baye made application for charters in propor form can secure them. Before thepassage of tbe act charters were issued in many instances purely on tbe ground of favoritism and many applicants or t hem Tailed to havo their claims favor ably considered because they were less fortunately situated. The Inst act on tbe subject was intended, the Governor thinks, to give free scope lo the issuing ofchartera, in order thai capital might be pitted against capital. With tho danger to property which, It had been alleged, would result from tbe chartering ol the Parrish Coal Co., be had nothing to do, as bis duty was limply ministerial.

A DAHOEBOtU-AHBUSOADE', Discovered Barely irbTinjflrTho Host Da ceptlve End luring" ot Tftodern Evils Graphically Described!. Syracute Journal ' Something ol a sensation was causedt la, this city yesterday by a rumor that one- of our beat known citizens was about to pub lish a statement concerning some unusal experiences during his residence In Syra cuse. How the rumor originated It is Im possible to say, but a reporter Immediately sought Dr. S. G. Martin, the gentleman In question, and secured the following Inter view! "What about this rumor, Doctor, Ihalyoii are going lo make a publio atatement of some Important inatteit" "Just about the aame as yu will find in all rumors some truth; soma fiction. I had contemplated making a publication of some remarkable episodes tbat bava occur red in my W, but have tint completed il as vet." -w nai is ine nature oi ii.inay I Inquire? ' " nnr. ids met mat i am a n-Mtnab hem Instead ofa spirit. I have pasted Ihrtmiib. one uf tho most wonderful ordeals that imi nspi ever ncc'irreu io an' man. The Erst Intimation I bad of il was several yeata ag-, nlieu I began to feel chilly at night aud resllees alter retiring. Occasionally this would bo varied by a soreness of the muscles and cramps m tuy arms and legs. I thought, as matt people would think, lint u whs only a c-'l'l unit so paid as UlUo at tention to it as p-waibJet. Shortly aft-r this I noticed a peculiar catarrhal trouble and my throat also became in 11a mod. Aa" if this were not variety enough I felt sharp paiue in my ijjcbi, uuu a constant tendency lo headache." Why didn't you take the matter in hand and check It right where It was?" "Wny doesn't eervb'lv do so? Srmnlv because they think il is only some trilling ami iassuig disorder, inese troubles did not come all at ones and I ihouirlit it tin manly tn'heed them. I bave found, though, nai every pnyaicai neglect iniiat be paid fir anil with large interest. Men cannot draw drafts nn their constitution without honoring them Sometime. These minor symptoms 1 have described, grew until they were giants of agony. I became more nervous; hud a strange fluttering of the heart, an inability In draw n long breath and an occasional numbi ess that waa ter ribly suggestive or paralysis. How I could have been so blind as not to understand what this meant I cannot imagine." "And did you do nothing?" "Yes, I traveled. Intbe spring of 1879 I went to Kansas and Colorado, and while in Denver, I was attacked witbn mysteri ous hemorrhage of the urinary organs and lost twenty pounds of flesh in Hire weeks. One day after n.y return I was taken with a terrible chill and at once advanced to a very seyere attack of pneumonia. My left lung soon entirely fill! with waterand my Irgi and body liecame twice tbeir natural size I was obliged to sit upright iu bed for several weeks in the midst of the sever eil agony, with my arms over my head, and in comtant rear or auooitlon." "And did you still make no attempt to saveynuraelf?" "Yes, I made franlio efforts. I tried every thing that seemed lo olTor the lea.l prospector relef. I called a council if doctors md had them make an exhaustive chemical and microscopical examination ol my condition. Fiye oftbe best physicians ofSyracuse and several from another cily said I must diel It seemed as though their assertion was true for my leet became cold, my mouth parched, my eyes wore a fixed glassy stare, my body was covered with a cold, clammy death sweat, and 1 read my rata in the anxious expressions of my family and friends." "But thefnaW "Cume at lust. My wife, aroused to desperation, began to administer a remedy upon her own responsibility and while I grew better very slowly, I gained ground surely until, in brief, I have no trace of the terrible Brighls disease from which I was dying, and am a perfectly well man. This may sound like a remance, but it is true, and my life, health and what I am aredue to Warner's Safe Cure, which I wish was known to and used by the thousands who. I believe, are suffering this minute as I was oriclnilly. Does not such an experience as thisiustifiy me in malting a public state ment?" "It certainly does. But then Brighfa disease is not common complaint, doctor.' "Not common! On the contrary it is one or the most common. The trouble is, Tew people kno iv they have it. It has so few marked symptoms until its final stages that a person may have it for years, each year getting more and more In its power and not suspect it. It ia quite natural I should leel enthusiastlo over this remedy while my wire is even more so than I am. Hha knows of its being used with etirnrisinp rpaulla bv many ladlex lor their own pecullarallmentf, uvrr wuicii ii naa singular power." The statement drawn aut by the above interview is amply mourned by very many ol our most prominent citizens, among them being Judge Reigel,and Col. James S. Good rich, of the Times, while Gen. Gwicht If. Bruce and Rev. Prof. W. P. Coddington, D. p., glye the remedy their heartiest endorse inent. In this age of wonders, surprising things are quite common but an experience so unusual as that of Dr. Martin'a and oc curring hern in our midst, may well cause comment and teach a lesson. It shows the necessity of guarding tho slightest approach oi pnyaicai disorder and by the means which haa beed proven the most reliable and efficient. Il ahowa Ibe depth to which one can sink and yet be rescued, and it proves that few people need sulfer if these iruius are observed. If lis Nellie Cooley'i Unknown Fate.
