A CORRECTION. In noticing the death of Daniel Ing old in last week's issue we stated that he was buried on the same day that he died, believing that our information was reliable. It was a mistake how ever, as he died on Saturday morning at three o'clock, and was buried on Sunday morning at ten. There was no intention to reflect on anyone, as we supposed the circumstances of the case demanded an eaily burial. We reeret that we were led into making an inaccurate statement, and cheer fully make the correction.

Annual Report of the Reading Companion. STATEMENT of tub operations of THK RAILROAD SHOWS A LOSS OF $606,693.60. The annual report of the Philadel phia and Reading railroad company and the Philadelphia and Reading ! coal and iron company for the year ending November 30, 1893, which will be ptesented at the annual meet ing of the stockholders. The state ment of the operations of the railroad company for the year 1893 shows that the gross earnings were $24,155,895 33; the total working expenses, not in cluding rentals, interest, &c, were $16,582,195 2, thus leaving the net earnings $7,573,700 11. From this is to be deducted $2,907,028.91 for ren tals of leased roads and canaU and $5273-34-8o for interest, thus show ing a loss for the year of $606,693.60. For the year 1892 the report, showed a profit of $990,736.01, thus leaving the increase in los for this year as compared with 1892, $597,479.61. The statement of the operations of the coal company for 1 893 shows that the gross earnings were $24,586, 863 -34 ; the total working expenses, not including rentals, interest, &c, were $23,432,672.84 ; thus leaving the net earning for the year $ 1 , 1 04, 1 95. From this is to be deducted inteiest charges $1,209,844.82, thus leaving the loss for the year $195,649.32. For the year 1892 the loss from mining opera tions was $313,63 72, thus leaving a decrease in loss for the year compar ed with 1892 of $117,514.40. The total deficit for both companies for the year 1893 is thus $802,342.92. The profit for the year. 1892 is given as $677,622.29, thus showing a loss for 1893 as compared with 1892 of $i, 469,966.2 1 Appended to the comparative state ment of the operations of the com panies lor the years 1892 and 1893 is an exhaustive statement by the re ceivers of the various transactions and business of the company for the year. It is stated that if the system of book keeping in vogue during the presi dency of Mr. McLeod had been used this year the leport would show a sur plus over fixed charged of 8So,i68. 93 instead of the deficit of $802,342. 92. An explanation of thj various caus es that led up to the bankruptcy of the companies and the appointment of receivers is given at length. The efforts of the receivers to pay the most pressing liabilities and to increase the earning capacity of the property are dwelt on. For various reasons their efforts were unsuccessful and during the first five months of the re ceivership there was an increase of cash liabilities of $1,102,030.00. For the four months from July 1, to No vember 30, the decrease in excess of current liabilities has been $1,161, 194 25, and the decrease for the whole term of the receivership has been $59, 45- The getting it down is bad enough with the ordinary pill. But the hav ing it down is worse. And, after all the disturbance, there's only a little temporary good. From beginning to end, Dr. Pierce's Pellets are better. They're the small and easiest to take tiny, sugar coat ed granules that any child is ready for. Then they do their work so easily and so naturally that it lasts. They abso lutely and permanently cure Consti pation, Indigestion, Bi'ious Attacks, Sick and Bilious Headaches, and all derangements of the liver.stomach and bowels. They're guaranteed to give satisfaction, or your money is returned. The makers of Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy says : ,lif we can't cure your Catarrh, no matter what your case is, we'll nay you $500 in cash." Now you can see what is said of other reme dies, and decide which is most likely to cure you. Costs only 50 cents. JOHH B.T0WHSMD, MBimMSQ I'M; CORNER OF MARKET AND MAIN STREET. BLOOMSBURQ.
