CENTRAL PASSF2WER RAILWAY
Meeting of the Stockholders Last Wight
—Election of a Board of Directors.
Since the present managers of the,
Central (into Minersville) Passenger
Railway assumed control, thatzoute has
been prosperous and successful. On
taking possession, some eight or nine
months ago, the newly organized sesoci.
atlon rapidly discovered that to obtain
prosperity a largo stock of fresh energy
and enterprise should at once be
put into the concern, and that the
expenditure of a needful amount
of money in making improvements
absolutely necessary was the • only
truly economical measure which could
be adopted. Acting on these suggestions,
the road was put in the beat possible
order, new cars were pro;rided, better
horses supplied, and a mammoth stable,
at the Minersville terminus, was erected.
These Improvements cost money, but the
public appreciated the new life infused
IMO the .torporatlon and liberally ex
tended a helping hand by adding largely
to the patronage extended. Indeed, after
a brief term of the new management,
and the guarantee that the road was to
be a permanent institution, the real
estate in the vicinity of the outer termi
nus naturally advanced, thus benefitting
• large number of penions. An impetus
to settlement wee likewise given and
the broad • table -lands penetrated
• by the road are being dotted with the
houses of the rich and the poor, who have
full appreciation of the advantageous
altos afforded for homes in that direction.
The late stemma of the corporation Is a
matter of congratulation, not only to
those pecuniarily interested, but to all
who desire to see our city expand and
build up into still greater importance.
Especially is its present proeperous con
dition a matter of congratulation to the
Board of. Directors and Superintendent
having charge of its affairs. They have
labored hard and diligently to bring
about the resin% and, continued in office,
they can confidently hope for still bright.
er prosperity and RIME= In the future.
Last night at the office of the company
at Mineraville the stockholders bald
their annual meeting to elect officers
for the ensuing year and to receive the re
ports of past operations. The meeting or
ganized by the selection of Alex. Melt.
wattle, Esq as chairman and the designa
tion of Mr. H. W. Oliver, Jr. aa deeretary.
The report of R. G. Herron, F•q., General
Superintendent, was read and accepted.
It developed an extremely healthy con
dition of affairs and large Improvements
made ler every direction. The report
contained several suggestions looking
towards the better accommodation of the
public, -an establishment of equitable
toll rates and other changes which met
with much favor.
She election of the Board of Directors
was next held, Mr. Willis Boothe acting
as Judge, and Messrs. W. J. Moorhead
and W. A. Gliderifenny as tellers. A•
full majority of the stock was voted
with the following result: E. P. Jones,

Mr. Hart to E. P. Jones. Esq., President,
and R. 0. Herron, Esq.. Superintendent.
for the able, faithful and efficient man

office. After a vote of thanks to Presi
dent Mcliwaine and the other officers of
the evening, the meeting adjourned to
the hospitable suburban residence of R.
G. Herron, Esq., where • splendid sup
per was awaiting. Alter all doing the
fullest justice to the meal, in response
to a general call Mr. Mallwaine
made a very happy and forcible speech,
in which he pictured a bright destiny
for that part of the city at the outer tee

cannot refrain from saying that be

veiled. The affair was very pleasant
and will long be remembered as • pleas

The down-town delegates were furnished
with • special car to the city on the ad.
journment of the meeting. We hope
that the Central Passenger Railway may
continue with each returning day to
grow more Tardier with the people, and
that it may shortly prove a remunerative
investment to the stockholders, who are
now pushing things so lively and" with
so much earnestness, enterprise and
ability.

NO. 9.
Trier Must have been a strange scene
in Madagascar when the Queen had the
royal idols brought and committed to the
dames. She had embraced Chrisdanity,
and whew - the chapel. for Divine service
Iptas ready, the disgraced deity; which
consisted" of tdo pieces of silk with a
small splinter of wood in the middle, was
taken from his temple and thrust Into a
fire. The crowd declared that being a
god he would not burn—yet somehow
"be" was very soon consumed: and then,
with no little pathos, "the people seeing
that now they had no gods to worship,
sent to the Queen to ask what they were
to worship for the future." The founds-
tion of their faithhad indeed teen grestiy
shaken. The Queen is to send teachers
of Christianity among them, and Made
gascar, one of the "dark Places on the
earth;! le likely to have turned the last
page of the sanguinary record which
have hitherto formed so large a part of
her history. •
Fon various reasons it has been deemed
politic by President 'Grant and the
British Government, not to hasten the
Alabama negotiations at the present time,
but to allow thequestlon open until after
Congress and Parliament have had an op.
poriunity of deliberating upon the princi
ples involved,and manifest some expres
sion as to what should constitute the
leading features of the new treaty. It is
the opinion of Gecretary Fish that months
may elapse before negotiations are con
cluded and a new treaty agreed upon.
