AiBint Report eflhe neurit ef Directors Ope
rntleos ef ie Heard Darlna
"We have received a copy of the Annual Re
port of the Board of Directors of the Lehigh
Valley Railroad Company, read at the meeting
of the stockholders at the oilice in this city, on
January 9.
The report states that there has been a
marked increase In the coal tonnage of the road,
which reached 3,XM,41 tons in 1870, an increase
over MA) of l,'Ml,UM tons. The increase in
net receipts, however, docs not correspond with
that of the traffic, as the rates of transporta
tion were lower than during the previous year.
The receipts of the year from all sources, in
cluding interest on investments and income
from coal lands, amounted to 0,307,274 OS; the
expenses of operating the road were t:t,0l7,
407 3, leaving net income of t J,5S',t,8(-70,
applicable to interest, dividends. State and
national taxes, general oilice expenses, etc.
Out of this amonnt the usual dividends,
amounting to ten per cent, on the capital
stock, were paid during the year. Payment wm
duly made by the stockholders on all of the
scrip outstanding at the date of the last report,
and the account has been closed.
During the year, $ 127,000 of the bonds due in
1873. and t'2500 of those of the late Hazlcton
Railroad Company, due in 1872, were paid off.
lloder the decision of the Supreme Court of the
United State?, the Interest on these bonds is duo
in gold, and it has therefore been so pall.
The board advised the stockholders at their
last annnal meeting that the further advances
necessary to be made to the Pennsylvania and
Js'ew York Canal and Railroad Company, and
the additional equipment contracted for and
needed for the Lehigh Valley Road, would re
quire a large increase of capital. To meet these
wants, and to provide for future contingencies,
the board directed the execution of (mother
mortgage, to become a second mortgage as soon
as the outstanding old bonds can be redeemed
amounting to 0,000,000, to secure six thousand
bonds of $1000 each to bo registered and bear 7
per cent, interest, free of State and United
States taxes. Of those, 1,550,000 have been
negotiated on very favorable terms, and the re
mainder will be issued as required. There is
yet unissued of the 5,000,000 mortgage, tHW,
000 beyond the amount of old Lehigh Valley
bonds and those of the llazleton Coal Company
outstanding.
At the end of the fiscal year November 30
1S70, the capital account was as follows:
Preferred and Common Stock, SCI, 189
shares. 13,ir,9,4W0i)
Old Lehigh Valley Honda outstanding. . yw.ooo-oo
Hazieton Coal Company's Bonds out

tered 1,050.0i10-00
Floating Debt, less Cash on hand 414,41710
Total 1 24,101,817-16
Since that date 2000 of the old bonds and
5C0O of the lla.leton bonds have been can
celled. Great Inconvenience having been experienced
from the accounts being kept at several da
tached points, it was determined early in the
year to rearrange the system and concentrate
the accounts in this city. The practi
cal result has been entirely satisfac
tory, but the increased amount of
work requires more room than is
afforded by the present building, and the com
pany has therefore purchased the premises occu
niAil bv the Pennsylvania Railroad Comnanv.

THE CHURCH HOME.
The Fifteenth Annnal meeting- Held
Morning An Interesting Report.
This
This morning at 11 o'clock being the time for
the annnal meeting of tho subscribers to the
Church Home for Children, a number of ladles
and gentlemen assembled at the home building.
Twenty-second and Pine etreets. The Right
Hev. Bishop Stevens tooK the chair and opened
the meeting with prayer. The Rev. Mr. Davies
was appointed secretary.
The annual report was presented and read by
Kev. E. W. Appleton. It sets forth that "there has
been the usual average of admissions and dismis
sions during- the year past, the inmates now num
bering 66, of whom 48 are girls and 18 bays. Taere
can be no stronger argument for the necessity o(
enlarging the Home than the constant appeals for
shelter which are almost daily made to the commit
tee of admission, but which they are forced t3 re
fuse simply on account of the lnsuillcicncy of the
present accommodations.
If these appeals I rum helpless and homeless child
hood could only reach the ears of the Churcu at
large, we feel that any further wprd from us would
be unnecessary to induce Its members to hasten, by
their material aid. the project of removal and en
largement. The corner-stone of the new building
of which mention was made in the last report) was
laid with appropriate ceremonies at Angora (the
first station on the West Chester and Media IUI1
rosd) on the afternoon of October 5r, 1970. The plan
which has been adopted was deBlgaed by T. V.
Itichards, Esq., and combines, as we think,
architectural beauty with great simpli
city and comfort. Due attention has
been paid to the lighting and ventilation, so as
to make it a bright and healthy home for children.
There will be a centre building with symmetrical
wings on either side, thus prorldiug for the separa
tion of boys and girls; the stairways are to bo of
iron, and the portion of the building In which they
are placed is to be made fireproof; while, as an addl
tlrnul preventive against Ore, the principal partition
walls will be of brick, and the entire work is to be
done in the most substantial manner. We should be
uugTatfful d.d we not recognize the liberality with
which our efforts have already been met. (;!,0uu
are subscribed, but this is only a little more than
half the amount required before the new home can
be occupies. We cannot urge this matter more
strongly npon you than by quoting a part of the
address of Bishop Stevens to the last convention.
In epoalcibg of the Church Home he stys:
a "It U a work in which our Church shows itself peculiarly
a a nursing mother, and one which la at iraporatiralf
needed in thia large city and dioceae, that I w nld
earnestly press upon you the importanre ef aiding-tbs
hurts of ins managers so that they oan at once go 00
with the work which they have ao well began. The p til oral

now. It waa alao believed (tint the enlarneuient of the
Church Home would prove auttiuient to receive all the
eaaea that the mean. which might ordi

To prevent, therefore, anv .earning diviion of feeling end
liberality ,and to consolidate all tueeonrgie.nf the Church
upon tbe work, the plan of the Orp'iane' Asylum (or Hoys

commits the most or his terrime crimes.
Their well-managed plan and vizllance have been
rewarded with success, and on Saturday night at It
o'clock omcer Tom Tairearr, belonging to the sta
tion on Fourth street, between North First and
North Second streets. In company with another oftl-
cer, was quietly walking along, nctn or wtiom were
draped In women's clothes with long waterproof
cloaks covering their bodies, and with green veils
covering tneir iai.es. -raegan being some distance
ahead or tne other, as nan neen previously arranged.
when suddenly the dreaded vampire darted out from
behind a projecting wall, anil, unobserved Dy the
onicer, was stealths cautiously np benind turn,
when the ollleer behind observing his movements,
rapped on the pavement with his club. Taggart of
course turned around just in time to save tils life,
perhaps, as the vampire, with a long stuetto gleam
ing In the starlight, was about to plunge It Into the
disgulxed orllcer'B back. Taggart sprang to
one side with the velocity of a catamount,
and Quick as lightning struck with his club
the arm of the sanguinary monster. The force
of the blow was so great that the arm was broken
near the elbow. The other officer then ran up. and
the two together, with a great deal of dlillcalty, toon
the sconnarei to tne station house. The vampire
fought them all the way, kicking and fighting the
officers like a tiger, notwithstanding his broken
arm. I'pon queUoDing the human flend at thu
station house, he refused to give his name or his
residence.
All be would state was that he had determined to
have his revenge upon the sex for the shameful
manner In which be had been jilted by a girl who
had promised to marry him. The officers think that
be Is derange I on account of his disappointment In
love, and that his Insanity took tha form of terrible
revenge upon tbe whole sex, which has terrlUed the
whole of Williamsburg for so long a time.
Gradually numerous other persons, mostly girls
of from is to ao years, are found who have been
stabbed by this man, or some other man similarly
disposed. Tbe latest Is a young girl of 16, named
Katie Jordan, living on North Sixth street, between
fcecond and Third streets. Katie vas stabbed in the
cheek, cutting a deep gash.
Tbe public schools are nearly deserted, but very
lew parents are wining to trust tneir dear ones in
the public streets long enough to go to school unless

Senate.
WAsniNoTOK, Feb. T. Mr. Flana.an presented a
resolution tf the Texas Legislature for Increased
mail facilities. Hcfcrred to the Committee ou Post
Cilices.
Mr. Kamsey, from the Committee on post Oinecs.
reported back the Housu joint resolution repealing
the joint reHolutlon approved July 15, 1370, autho
rizing the Postmaster-Ueneral to adjust the claim
of George Chorptnnliig, accompanied with a written
report.
Air. romeroy said tne pommaster-uenerai nai
received all the bime in this case. In fairness to
that onicer he wanted the committee's report real,
h i he report was then read. It recites the
iraiutuient cnaracter or tne claim; that the
claim was panned without proper attention dun ug
the buiry and bustle attending the closing hour of a
session; that all reHponsibtlity In the cane had been
assumed by Oongnss In enjoining upon the Post-masier-tieneral
the adjustment of the claim In a
special way; exonoratea the. Postmaster-General
from ail blame, and suggests a thorough examina
tion of the w hole claim by the Court of Cltlms.
Mr. Trumbull did not wish to be understood as
saying the Postmaster-General might not have made
the uee.lhion or to animadvert upou mat geuuuiuaii a
Integrity, but, he thought the original resolution was
susceptible- of a very diil'erent construction from
that which had obtained. Ha concurred In the re
peal of the resolution, but be would not say us a
rule, that tbe PostmaHter-Oeneral was obliged to do
what he did. In hla (Trumbull s) opinion he was not
so obliged, particularly when it waa known that the
w hole amount or Chorpenning's claim, as shown by
bis petition, filed In the Court of Claims, was I7i.ooo,
with a general addendum for damages of f 10 t,ooo in
round numbers.
Mr. Hamlin did not feel called npon to oppose or
disapprove of tbe report of the committee, as the
only question before the Senate was repeal. The
Senator from Illinois (Mr. Trumbull) thought the
committee had erred. For hlni.eir. be thought their
co ucl union waa tbe right one. Had he (Mr. Hamlin)
occupied the place of the Postmaster General, he
would have given the law exactly the same con
struction, that the adjustnieutof the claim was man
datory upon him.
Mr. Merrill, of Vermont, tlmurbt it hardly fair to throw.

Mr. Ce'sna made a pers mal explanation In refer
ence to his connection with the Chorponning cate.
ChorpennlDg, he said, wan one of his constituent..
one ol the attorney in tne case, jereramii utacit,
bud txen prefttding jndge In his district when ho
(C'eepna) w as annwieu to xne oar, ana ne nmi inn
confidence in bis Intelligence and integrity. He had
also full confidence In the learning and Intelllgonoe
of another or t horpe nning s attorneys, mr. nana.
Several of the w itnesses were residents of his dis
trict. He believed then, and still believed, that there
was money duo to :tiovpenning, but he did not know
that the claim whs po large, that as the award made
by the PoFtmaswr-Ceneral. He had no dooiit,
however, that the I'osiinaster-deneral tx-ueved tho
amount awarded to tie honestly and Justly due.
Mr. Cewna narrated the history of the i latin, and
contended that It was not true that the claim had
been examined and rejected on Its merits by Post
niaMet. Generals Blair, Holt., or Handall. They had
refused to ronMder It, as It bad lieen decided by
their predecessor, I'rgtmuRter-General Brown. He
referted to theendorsementof theoase by President
Uurniiran, in ii. m tnese woran:
After cepsldiTiniithlBcase.I do not think that the
parties ought to be estopped from reconsideration of
that part of the claim which has not been alio we 1 by
any technical rule, but that tbe case should be open
to le-.-onsideratlon. I express no opinion on the
merits of the rase." He aiso quoted a bdter from
President Johnson, dated In Angnst, W, recom
mtndlng that the claim chould be taKennpand ad
jnsted. He asserted most positively htsh-lief that
a part of tbe money due to Chorpenning was still
unpaid.
lie made the explanation without the slightest
expectation or intention or changing or attempting
to change the action of the House In the premises,
but with an earnest desire to place on record the
reasons for his action. If he had been over-zealous
or too confiding, or had failed to make mora aatls
taetory explanations of the case at the time, a though
he was not permitted to do so, he was willing to
aecrpt and endure his full share of any just criti
cism. He did not remember to have Been or heard
of Mr. Earle in the case for two or three months
alter tbe presentation of the petition In February,
17n.
Newspaper correspondents bad charged that Mr.
Cn swell had been lobbying In favor of the passage
of the bill. Ue hud never seen Mr. Crcs well on the
noor of the House or elsewhere on any such errand.
He had tevers.ild anyihlng to him on the subject.
He bad never written to Mr. Creswell a single line
on the subject, nor had he 6ver called npon him In
r imrd to the matter. Ho declared most solemnly
ihat he had never received or agreed to receive, nor
bad he ever been oiiered In this case or any other, a
single farthirg for any crucial act of bis except the
falaty attached to the position which he occupied.
Ilehad never had any kn wlodae of or interest In' anr
"rinic" or "job." and never knew .member ot any auch
rinar. 11. Dad never boea interested, directly or indi
rectly, in any Government contract wliatever, and bad
never Hold anything to nor bought anything from tho
Gov.rniuent. He had much of this world s goods. H.had
been in publio position, occasionally, for mors than
twenty years, and had endeavored eo to demean bimaolf as
to retain the enntid. nee of tboeewbo knew him, and he
hoped to leave for his children and friends a reputation
for honesty and integrity of which they aboald not bo
anbamed.
Mr. Hill aKked nnanhnons consent to make a statement.

London has lately been agitated over a notable
robbery of jewels. Tbe thief, it appears bj let
ters found lu the possession of a female accom
plice, tried to dispose of his plunder in Bel
gium. One of his letters shows an odd nilngUu";
of rascality and tenderness:
' My own l'ct Tho boat did not leiva Dover
until about four this morning. I was not sick
at all. I have just had breakfast here. I start
for Ghent at 1 -''; thence Antwerp, and will
w rite you as soon as ever I touch the first pro
ceeds. The Timts report you saw, the Stand
arii &io. Tbo TtUyraph I could not see, but
tbe Daily Atirs had nothing except an adver
tisement on front pae, 'Te cabmen aud others,'
ofltrirg 15 reward. In this, however, fortu
nately, there cannot be anything. The more I
think about tbe notes tbe less I fear them.
Even if they think of them, I believe now they
can never trace Lbcra from tbe first source.
Keep your spirits, my own darling, and I shall
return, certainly as soon as it is possible. It is
a beautiful mouiliiir here; the ice is only just
breaking up in the harbor. They describe your
dress in the Daily A'tws as light brown with,
green trlmm'iig; so clearly they have little re
collection of us. With all my love, and a kiss
to baby, ever your friend, Michael. I am going
to tbe post with this, so I have no time for
more."
Another letter, dated Ac ??cr?,conUr.jed Ui c
following passages;
"My progress from C -,tli l'cw: To
Ghent two hours. Could ietdispoae of any
thing, therefore came on UtTe. I havn
been walking about since morning, but could
not do anything. I asked for oue MQ lot lo0
at one place, but he simply laughed at me. My
money being nearly gone, I was obliged to dis
pose of a single oue of the XUO lot. They said
ft was a good one, but light, only one grain.
Generally speaking this is not the place to get
anything done. They tell me, on ac
count of the war, there Is little demand for dia
monds, and that they have depreciated much.
1 intend getting a pair of small scales,
and 6ee what I can make out with regard to
tbeir value. One fact at least is clear we shall
Lave more dliliculty in getting rid of them than
we thought."
This letter closed, also, with expression- of
