of the Scbuylkill coal field, is now being con
structed..
The map - annexed to the report of the Chief En
gineer exhibits the extent, location and connections
of all of these several roads, as well as of all other
railroads now owned, , lea aed or controlled by this
Company, and the tatoliar statement accompanying
the map shows that the aggregate lengths of all ot
these railroads' including. sidings, amounts to 1,142
miles of single track road,
As this system of railroads, projected some years
ago, approaches completion.; there , is no reason to
doubt the wisdom of the policy which suggested its
•constroction. Soffit - as the roads are located in the
coal regions, it will be seen that. the effect of their
construction has been to render tributary to the
Main line almost the entire territory of tho southern
and middle coal fields, and if a supply of cars suffi
cient to carry away! the product 'of the mines is
hereafter maintained, and the inducement of, mod
'crate rates of transportation offered to the trade,
the Company can rely with confidence upon the in
dividual enterprise and energy of the coal opera
tors as sufficient at all times to furnish a large and
constantly increasing amount of tonnage.
The new roads constructed and secured outside of
the coal fields are either important links in,or teed
era of, the lino of road extending from Harrisburg
to Allentown, now owned or controlled by this
Company, over which passes a very large amount of
traffic between New York city and the West; or are
designed as tributarses to the main line, especially
valuable its contributing a large supply: of iron ore
for the 'ula's of the furnaces along the road.
NeXt in value to the coal traffic, the iron interests
of the Schuylkill Valley claim the attention and
-deserve the protection of the Company; and the
wisdom of this policy which for the past dew. years
has been securing an I=f:tiling supply of iron ore
for consumpt ion along the main line of the road wilt
be fully juetitied by future results. The Lebanon
Valley branch, the East Pennsylvania railroad, the
Reading and Columbia railroad and the Colebrook
dale railroad drain regions containing inexhaustible
supplies of iron ore ; limestone of the best quality
is found In great abundance along the lines ; in the
rich agricultural valleys of Montgomery, Berke,
Chester, Lebanon and Dauphin counties labor will
at all times be found as abundant as in any other
portion of the State ; anthracite coal of the very
best description for smelting, puddling and heating
purposes will always be as plentiful as in any other
region ; and It is believed that there is not at pres
ent in Pennsylvania any other locality possessing
greater advantages for the manufacture of iron
than the valley of the Schuylkill.
The rolling mill of the Company at Reading has
turned ont during the last year 17 ,037 tons of fin
ished fails ' of which amount but two and a half
tons have been worn out and removed from the
track. Out of the 8,071 tons of rails made at the
Company's mill and laid in the year 1868, one hun
dred and eighty tons have up to this time been
taken up and returned for re-rolling. While the
rails thus manufactured have cost the Company an
average of less than the current market price, the
result in their wear, when subjected to the test of
our large tonnage, proves the superiority of their
construction.
During the last year two steam colliers of about
COO tons burthen each• have been built for the Com
pany, and are now engaged in , transporting coal
from" Richmond to Eastern ports. Four others,
two of 1,000 tons burthen and two of 800 tons each,
are now under contract, and will be placed in the
trade early in the present year.
A large amount of real estate has been bought
during the year, principally situate at Richmond
• and on Willow street, in the city of Philadelphia.
During the year just closed rolling stock of the
value of $1,162,286.53 has been added to the property
of the Company, as follows: '
1,054 eight whee led cars, built by the
. Company ....
10 first-elate engines, built by the
Company. •
Work on one engine, built by the
' Company 4.151.65
10 first-class engines, bought of al.
_. Baird &Co 142.000.00
, 152 cars, bought of East Pennsylva
niseßailroad C 0...... ....... , . ..
14 first-class engines, bought of East
Pennsylvania Railroad C 0...... 140,500.00
Total... .... $1,162,286.53
The statements accompanying this report will
show the details and extent of property acquired
by the Company during the year ; of the entire
amount of which $3,170,042.05 has been added to
capital account, $569.105.78 Las been charged to
income aecount, and the balance will be found in
cluded in the items embraced under the head of
assets in the Treasurer's general account.
it was originally designed to pay for a portion of
this new work with the plain six per cont. bonds of
the Company, and during the early part of the
year the contractors of several of the branch roads
,received the amountsof their monthly estimates in
such bonds. It being discovered, however, that the,
necessities of the contractors frequently compelled
them to sacrifice these securities at less than their
proper value, it was thought advisable to pay for
all work in cash, and to furnish the means to
do so by a loan to be negotiated by the Company
itself: Since the first of 4une, therefore, all pay
merits to contractors have been made in
cash, furnished temporarily .out of the
dividend fund. To reimburse this fund,
and at the same to provide means to prosecute the
new work and to supply additional rolling stock
during the years 1870 and 1871, the managers bay%
negotiated; at par, without commissions, a loan of
$5,000,000 of seven per cent. coupon bonds,tited
January 1, 1870, payable ip twenty years, o -half
7 0
convertible at the option of the holder into tock at
par at any time after Issue; and the othe half con
vertible at par at any time after th hat of Jan
uary, 1872. Of this loan the sum of 1,500,000 will
be issued to replace that amount o' le past year's
earnings used for construction or,dew work; $2,000,-
000 will be furnished and eXpepfled during the year
1870, and the remaining $l, f,OOO during the year
DV , for new rolling stock d for the completion of
IN
work now in progress or ntemplated to be placed
under construction; and hereafter the earnings of
the Company can e aPpropriate,d to the payment
of semi-annual casVdividends.
To any of the sdockholders who may be disposed
to Complain of / the increase of the capital stock of
the Company during the last seven years, it will be
a sufficient answer to say that the tonnage, gross
receipts and net profits have increased in a far
71_ greater ,proportion than the united capital and debt
, ' of the Company, and that the result of the expendi
,etures upon which the increase of capital was based
.has been to secure perpeteally' a great and ever
increasing tonnage for the road.
A railroad Company owning a properly-con
structed and well-equipped line of road, connecting
two large cities, and reit sing. solely for its business
upon the traffic interchanged between the termini
of its line, might reasonably expect to earn
enough money annually not only to declare a fair
dividend to its stockholders, but, in addition
thereto, to enlarge its supply of rolling stock, so as
to meet the wants of its increasing business without
adding to its debt or capital stock; and such a result
would properly bo accepted by its stock
holders as an iiiidence of prosperity and finan
cial strength. But in the case of this Company, en
gaged in developing an area embracing two distinct
coal-fields—one of sixty miles and the other over
thirty miles in length—where every valley required
a new railroad, and where the increase of tonnage
incident to the opening of the new laterals has been
no great as to require at times an annual expendi
ture for additional rolling stock of over a -million
of dollars, it was necessary to resort to either of the
following plans in order to accomplish the desired
result!
First—To charge such high rates for tolls and
transportation as 'mild have enabled the Company
to earn money enough; after payments of cash divi
dends, to supply the funds required for improve
ments.
Ilecond—To increase the debt of the Company by
nuns made to finish the new work; or,
Third.—To increase the capital stock, either by
stock dividends paid in lieu of earnings diverted to
improvements, or by receiving additional subscrip
tions to stock, issued to furnish the necessary funds
for new construction.
The first of these plans could not have been
seriously thought of for a moment. Although ex
cessive rates of charges might result in a temporary
advantage, they would not only have proved in the
end destructive to the Company, but would have
been manifestly unjust to the public. Of the re
maining two plans the latter was thought the wiser,
and It was considered best to devote the earnings of
the Company to the construction of new improve
ments and 'the building of new rolling stock, and to
issue to the shareholders stock dividends in lieu of
.. ,the money.
During the last seven years the capital of the
Company has been increased by stock dividends,
in all .. $12,360,670.77
From the above deduct the 411301111t8
based upon the purchase of bonds--
by the sinking funds .
Balance
This snm of 1610,683,850.06 of aggregate stock
dividends has, however, been issued as the repre
sentative of 517,597,268.7.1 of actual net earnings
invested in permanent improvements—the dif
ference of 86,913,399.68 having - been,-from time to
time, charged to income account, so that the in
tressed capital stock should represent the property
upon which it 'was based at a gold standard of
value; and in conformity to this conservative rule
of the Company, a five per cent. stock dividend
was paid last July, and an issue of 5608,800 of the
plain six per cent. bonds was made during the year,
there has been charged to income' account out of
the net earnings of the past year the sum of SWI4-
10548.
The manegers regret to announce that the health
of Mr. Charles E. Smith, the late President of the
Company, became so seriously Impaired that in
April last he felt obliged to resign his position, in
order to visit Europe, with the hope that a year's
relaxation from the cares of business would effect
a cure. During his absence, at his ,request, and
that of the managers, Mr. Franklin B. Gowen, who
has been for several years one of the counsel of the
Company, consented to accept the presidency, and
wasaccordiug, elected to that Wilco by the Board
ripen the 28th of April last.

GESTATE ]/OBE AT HOME.
. Visit by Blanchard Jerrold.
In the
,Gentleman's Magazine Blanchard
Jerrold describes a receni visit to, the home of
Gustave Due. lie says :
"I met Dore at an embassy ball last au
tumn, gay In ~the midst of the soft light and
softer laughter, and full of ceaseleSs talk. He
broke away suddenly, seein g the early morn
ing hour,'saying: I must to bed; three hours
are barely rest enough for a worker !' The
time was something under 3 A. M.
"There is work in the pleasure, there is
study in the street. We were driving through
Windsor Park last summer, and Dore's eyes
covered the landscapes as they were unfolded
before us, but he made no note, great as his
delight was in the grandest of parks. , A lady
asked whether he would not like to stop at
some of the points and make some sketches?
" No, no,' be said, never taking his eyes off
the scenery;' I've a lair quantity of collodion
in my head'
" When we were at Boulogne together in
1555, to see the disembarkation of the Queen,
Dore intently watched the leading points of
the great . ceremonial, and by way of
fixing a few matters of detail in his memory,
made some hasty pencil Marks in a tiny book
he carried in his waistcoat pocket. This power
of fixing a scene in the memory correctly be
longs to the student: who has been true and
constant to nature. Just as Houdon so edu
cated his son's observation as to impress every
article in a toy shop window upon his memory
at a glance, so the - :student, whose training
has the grandest - object, that of 'giving en
during forms to beauty, acquires the
power of eliminating • his mate
rial ' from a confused scene, through
which he is fleetly traveling. But only the ar
tist who honestly lives in art obtains complete
power over art . material, and thorough com
mand of beauty hidden to the common world,
in all kinds of out-of-the-way places. I have
often heard sympathetic students of Dore's
genius notice the head and tail pieces of his
Don Quixote, as exquisite bits of observation
rendered in masterly sketches. The village
scraps are racy stories, told with a stroke or
two of the pencil. A touch of the brush plumps
yen in Seville. Let those conscientious dwell
ers on an artist's work, who love to get on
terms of familiarity with his genius, and to
mark all the richness'of its by-play, turn from
Don Quixote to a less known series of illustra
ticins by the same thinker and observer with his
pencil.
t‘ 1 remember running through some twenty
numbers of - the Tour du Monde one morning,
in the Hue.. Bayard, ;having found, them lying
about the studio: • Dore'S Spanish pencillings
2/
by-the-way wet. scattered through the pages.
/
The variety o interest in the subjects was Me
most strikhi characteristic of the series. The
artist ha /caught every phase of life—from the
palace n the fierce light and heat, to the dusky
l
poot ei
use gate, and the beggars' haunts by the
c I rlrch doors. He touched upon each incident
:nd pecullatity of interest, as he carelessly
turned the pages with the paper-knife, cutting
as he went. • The man had becu•thinking, while
the artist had been taking in local form and
I color. Here was the work of the artist of broad
sympathies, of constant speculation, the
beloved of men of all the arts. For that which
distinguishes Dore, chez lid, is the art atmo
sphere in which his pleasures take their rise. In
the spacious salon of the Faubourg St. Ger
main, covered with his work, is a little world
of art. The professor of science, the ^inaa of
letters, the gifted songstress, the physician, the
composer, the actor, make up the throng ;, acid
the amusements are music and discourse of
things which are animating the centres of in
tellect. A happier and nobler picture than this
handsome, square salon, alive with the artist's,
friends, each one specially gifted, and with the
painter-musician in the centre, dreamily talking
of some passing incident of scientific interest,
with his fingers wandering listlessly over the
strings of his violin, could not be—of success
turned to worthy ends. The painter has been
through a very hard day's toil. You have only to
open a door beyond the salle a-manger to light
upon, a work-room packed with blocks and
• proofs, pencils and tints and sketches. A long'
morning here,follo wed by a laborious afternoon
in the Rue Bayard, have earned the learned
leisure among intellectual kindred upon this
common ground of art,- where all bring some
thing to the pic-nic. Frolic fancy is plentiful.
Old friends are greeted with- a warmth we for
mal people cannot understand. The world
famous man is mon cher Gustave, with proud
motherly eyes beaming upon him, and crowds
of the old familiars of childhood with -affection-
$666,736.07

ate hands upon his shoulders. Dinner is ae
companied by bright; vise,nneonstrained talk;
eollee and cigats in the loftysaloon ;
and music and laughter, tbe professor parleying
with the poet, the song-bird with the man of
Science!
"I make no vulgar intrusion upon Gustave
Dote, gentlemen. I but pursue my theme from
its starting-point, insisting that the artist is
astonishingly various in subject, because his
wind sweeps greedily through the various
spheres of intellect of his day, and he is active
over a broad surface. Also, that he has much
work to show, because he is an insatiable
worker, and cannot get out of his art. Such
art atmospheres that in which Dore passes
his life is not in England ; for the sufficient
reason that the standard of the admirable is,
with us, falsified, and people become great,
affect fashion with the idle and the wealthy. In
France, men of letters, professors of science,
physicians, composers, make together an aristo
cracy that is as exclusive us birth and fashion
are in London. The Duke goes to Dore, and is
proud and privileged to go! Crowns and
coronets jostled upon Rossmi's staircase in the
Chaitssee d'Antin, and in 110 sense to patron
ize the maestro's maccaroni. The corps diplo
matique is proud to repair to the salons of the
popular author in the Champs Elysees. I was
reading a few days ago that the-Emperor added
some of his illustrious subjects to the banquet
he gave his new deputies ; among these, Gus
tave Dore.
"It is the fashion—in which there is some
thing-of wicked design,l am inclined to think
—to dwell on the fertility of Gustave Dore. I
r ?turn to this point. His art-inferiors would
fain have the public believe that the power,
which comes of patience, is the slap-dash work
of a gifted, uncultivated, careless and greedy
Man, with an eye fixed on the market for his
works. The truth lies in an opposite direction,
as I have already observed ; but this I should
add—the pictorial poet (for Dore adds to those
poets at whose fires he lights his imagination)
and the painter, Who illustrates at the call of
publishers that he may be able to paint accord
ing to the flee bent of his ambition, is a pro
lific illustrator, but a slow . and conscientious
artist.' Observe the care with which he pre
pared himself for the glory that is only now
coming to him. For two years he pursued the
anatomical course
,at a Paris hospital, and
dissected with the rest of the students

shortly. Ile can fell , you scores ,of anecdotes •

demi of 'the Montagne St. Genevieve ; and we
have been together among the opium -eaters of
Whitechapel, in the penny gaff; and in the
thieves' kitchens and bedrooms of the East
End of London.' •
"How many artists prospect. so far as this,
and with courage and all-encompassing' libe
rality, see art everywhere, and express 'it by
any known vehicle? The men who narrow
their realm to the pigstye and the poultry-yard
resent the universality of their brother as an
invasion of a series of specialties. The flower
painter is in high dudgeon because the creator
of 'the 'Neophyte' presumes to reProdirc'e the
glories of a hedgerow. He is denounced as an
uccaparcur ; the tfat being that lie is much plus
the artist, as ordinary men understand the
painter of pictures. A man may have fine ex
ecutive skill, be unsurpassed at the lights and
shades of a satin dress, and, within his range,
a faithful lens, casting a scrap of nature, a cor
ner, upon a panel. And yet he shall not be an
artist, in the highest sense and power of the'
vocation. The special men are the sworn en
emies of the Dares, as the trader in a single
article is of the general dealer. It is the very
width of his range which has raised the host
of the artist's enemies. He has traveled over
a continent, and has stirred a score of hostile
tribes—who, individually, are to him what the
tinker is to the architect. The sharpness of
the hostility proclaims the doughty force of the
knight who is in the field. I have not the
slightest doubt that when, ''in the flush of his
youth, Dore climbed to the cock crowning the
steeple of St. Ouen, at Ileum; and 'descended
by the lightning conductor, he Moved the wrath
of the profesSional steeple-climber, who said,
This is an invasion of my special territory."
••• • "Gustave Dore remains to be
studied by his contemporaries In Ins intellec
tual entirety. His range of travel in art is
wide, because his sympathies are generous be
yond artificial political frontiers ; and he passes
from scene to scene, from race to race, froth
realm to realni ' storing his treasure as he goes:
No man could have a more abiding reverence
for every form of progress. He will pass an
evening discussing anatomy and physiology
with doctors. Recreation takes always, with
him, Mr. Gladstone's splendid definition of it.
He rests from art in the domains of harmony
and melody. He takes the lower, or less ambi
tious walks of his profession, that he may get
the strength. and means to climb to the high
est range,; so that the snow shall fall upon him
as upon the mountains he has hugged so often,
at his highest.'?

—The Newsboys' Home Association held a
meeting at Concert Hall last evening. Hon.
Chas. Gibbons, President, made the opening
address. He said that the house on Locust
street, above Ninth, is furnished with beds,
bedding, &c. It was only opened on the 21 of
last month, and since that time the lodgers
have averaged twenty-four a day, who paid
six cents for their lodging; 1,230 meals had
beeu furnished, for which each boy paid
five cents. If the association is suc
cessful, it is ,_proposed to obtain the adjoin
ing house and fit it up in a manner
similar to the one now in use. Rev. Phillips
Brooks made an address. He 'said that the
Newsboys' Home Association stops not it, at'
fording a lodging or a meal, but recognizes
that the boys are in want of education, and
confines not Its usefulness to the feeding of
the body, but the feeding of the mind—not
ministering solely to a starving physical na
ture, buesupplying a famishing intelligence.
Any one who goes Into this institution will
have his ideas of human nature enlarged when
he Sees there a great struggling for indepen
dence—even these little fellows struggling to
be independent and self-supporting. Mr.
Repay, of New York, then gave a description
of the workings of a similar institution in New
York. In thatcity be stated there was annu
ally froth 15,000 to 20,000 children wandering
the streets without homes, and exposed to the
contact, of all the most degrading vices and mis
ery, and are easily led astray. Since the open
ing of the Herne, a year or two ago, about 10;-
000 of these bays bad been reclaimed. , The
cost had been $144,223, of which the boys had
paid in stuns Hof six cents for bed, and a like
sum for' breakfast and supper respectively,
nearly $25,000. In the "Lodging 'House" of
New York in one year there were 5,000
lodgerS, and in all their lodging houses there
were nearly 10,000. He then illustrated the
Importance of these institutions by several in
stances that had come to his ''knoWledge., In
one, an inmate became a lieutenant in. the
• army ; another, a minister of the Gospel, aid
man other equally striking eases, where but
for the lodging houses the subject of the anec
dote would have been irretrievably lost.
—The telegraph strikers had'a mass-meeting
last evening, at Painter's Hall, Locust street,
T. B. Lyndall in the chair. Alter several
addresses, resolutions declaring that they be
lieve that the action of the Company in regard
' to San Francisco operators is a justification of
their movement, and further, " That any pm
position to resume work, that does not guar
antee the re-instatement, on the old terms, of
all engaged m the present movement, be re
jected.
,That we will not consent to pay out
of our salaries the expenses of the war of ex
tenuination which the Western Union Com
pany is canying on against honorable com
peting companies. That we cannot sufficiently
regret that the Philadelphia circuit alone
should be held up as the mark for the arrows
‘..wfscorti which will necessarily be shot at it On
account of its perjures traitors." •
—The Conveyancers held a meeting yeSter
day in the Mercantile Library Building. Hon.
