A PROSPEROUS YEAR. THE PENNSYLVANIA It.AILUOAD COM. I'ANV'rS ANNUAL Itlil'OKT, LOSS BY THE JOHNSTOWN FLOOD. A Large Net Gain During the Year—The Destruction of the Company'* Prop erty In the Conemanglt Valley—The Cost of Kepalr—lmprovements Under Way—Some CouipartMuna With Oilier lloarl*. The annual report of tlie Hoard of Di rectors of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company for 1889 just made pubi c shows the gross earnings on the whole system to have been $122,917,337, or SO,- 408.044 larger than in 1888, and the net earnings were $89,100,209, an increase of $3 334.202. These-are the largest earnings in lite history of lite company, a remarkable fact when it is remnnbeicd that curing the whole month of June, owing to the Johnstown flood, the main line of the road was partly closed up. The number of tons of freight carried was 122,104, .18, an increase of 11,220,274 tons, ami ihe number of passengers carried was 78,128,- 957, an increase of 4,120.871. The lines both east and west ot Pittsburg comprise 7844 miles. Dividends to the amount of $5,327,270, or 5 percent., were paid and the balance, $3,328,041, was transferred to the credit of profit and loss less deduction on ac count of the floods, $2,489,954. The bal ance to the credit of profit and loss was therefore increased $338,087, and the item now stands at $20,008,055. That part of the report referring lo ilie loss of the company'by the June floods reads as follows : "On the 31s' of May the extraordinary rainfall began, and following marly the trend of the mountain rangu over which your system of lines passes, caused an unparalleled destruction of properly, not only upon your Main Line, hut many of the other roads forming your system. In the Juniata Valley three of the larg est and most expensive double-track bridges, two of which bad recently been inbuilt, were entirely destroyed, together with several miles of track. TUB JOHNSTOWN FLOOD. " The greatest destruction both of life and property took place hnwev cr on the western slope of the mountain, in the Couemaugli Val ley, where a reservoir (originally constructed by the Statu of Pennsylvania for its canal system) gave way, and com pletely destroyed your road for a distance , of over ten miles, including several large bridges, and nil the machine-simps, round-houses, and yard f icilities nl (Jon emaugli, itl the foot of the mountain, lite destruction being so complete that it was almost impossible to fix the locution fotm erly occupied by your property. Among the properly damaged and destroyed were twenty-four passenger cars, 501 Ireigl.t cars, thirty-four locomotives, some of i tie latter, notwithstanding their weight, be ing carried more thau a mile by the fence of the flood. While this loss of property was appalling in its magnitude, yet it was more thau overshadowed bf tue great de struction of life and properly in the man ufacturing ci'y of Johns'own, a short dis tance below Couemaugh, in tlie same vuiley. •' In addition to the destruction of pinp erty on your Main Lin many of the largest and most important bridges ou the Philadelphia and Brie road weie en- tirely destroyed, while cntlie Blinira ami ' Wiilhunsport line (leased to the Northern Central liailroad Company) several miles of railway, including many bridges, were washed away. " The lota! amount expended to- Dec ember 81si, 1880, in repairing the loss caused by the Hoods to your system was $3,475,423.01, leaving still a considerable sum lo he expended to restore it to its original condition. This outlay does not include the indirect loss from the sus pension of trattle and the serious interrup tion lo the working of your entire system caused thereby. " The services of as many of your offi cers and employes as could be spared from your system of lines both east and west of Pittsburgh were concentrated night and day unon the work of repair ing these disasters ; and notwithstanding their ma.giii'iidc Ihe nwveni nt of traffic was resumed within eight tins. Too much credit cannot be given lo them for their skill, energy, and unremitting devotion lo this work, to which is largely due the fact lliat your properties wen able tu recover so promptly from tin serious disasters which had overtaken ihem."

Tile improvements under way include locomotive shops al Altoona, a bridge over the Ohio river at Pittsburgh, tbe C instruction of the cut-oil from Down ington to a point near Trenton and a new line from Downington to Lancaster via New Holland, important improvements on tlie New York water front, and large expeditures to avoid grade crossings in Philadelphia and other cities. * The business of tbe Philadelphia. Wil mington & Baltimore, Northern Central, Cumberland Vallev, and other auxiliary lilies are not included iu tbe above fig ure.-. If they were the gross earnings would be more than $130,000,000. The gross turning of tbe Pennsylvania Bail road in 188!) were $85,000,000 larger than its largest trunk line rival, the New York Central, nnd more than double those of the Beading, triple those of Ihe Lacka wanna, and more than live times the amount earned by the Baltimore A Ohio, On the lines east of Pittsburgh, fbe com- puny earned $61,514 445, tlie net earn ings were $10,375,487, an increase of sl.- 143,192. The gross e rrnings per mile on the main iine were 481,788 against $77.- 034 during (lie previous year. The main line and branches made $10,870,341 net, the New York division $138,712. and the Philadelphia & trie lost $10,310. The profit on the New York division is the lirst. for many years. The pencentage of local freight lo the whole trnttie fell from 87.08 per cent, in 1888. to 80.89 per cenl. in 1889, the change being made by opera tions on the New York division. The percentage of through freight was 13.13 per cent, against 12 42 per cent, last year. On the main line the percentage of through freight was but 7.11 per cent, on the Philadelphia & Brie 9.50 per cent., and on the New York division but 30.58 percent. On the main line the percent age of through East bound freight in creased 4 23-100 per cent. The local freight shows an increase of 7 51 100 per cent. East bound and 18 49-100 per cent. West hound. The average earnings from each passenger per mile was 2.082 cents, against 2 092 cents in 1888; the cost of transportation was 1.527 cents, against 1 543 cents in 1888, and the profit was 0 555 cents per passenger, against 0.549 cents in 1888. The average distauce trav eled by each passenger was 18 1-10, against 17 9-10 miles in toe previous year. The net gain on business west of Pitts burgh for the year was $1,184,009. There was an increase of 5,089, 480 in the nam her of tons of freight carried, and 1,193,- 929 in the number of passengers. The income account shows that out of net profits east of Pittsburgh, for the year amounting to $10,992,747, $2,333,835 was deducted for payments of interest, sink ing funds and extraordinary repairs and improvements. The balance which is tlie net profit ot ihe Company, from a stockholder's point of view, is $8,055,911 against $7,040,982 in 1888. These profits are equivalent to more than 8 per cent on the stock of the C utipauy on which a dividend was payable. ■ml list rial Urlm-alion at Iml Inn a.

GERTRUDE. She Is Oioln-- to tin .villi to >1 InlKtf-r to the Lejiortt. Miss Amy Fowler (Sister Hose Oer trudo), a member of the Third Order of St. Dominic of the Roman Catholic church, is 011 her way through the United States to Hawaii to take up the work left by Father D union at his death among the lepers. How simple this announcement, yet how much is involved in it. An English girl, having learned of the sacrifice of one who fell a certain victim to the most dreadful of till diseases, freely offers her self to take his place as tin- soldier steps into the tracks of his comrade shot down in a storming party, with this differ ence—that the soldier acts under a fever ish excitement and may not lie killed, while the woman gives herself deliber ately, and for her there is no ho[ie The oldest and best known legend of the sacrifice of a young girl is that of Iphigenia, the daughter of Agamemnon . and Clytemnes '~j > tra Iler father.

When Iphigenia was brought to tlie altar she disappeared, having been carried olf by the goddess to Tauris, where she became a priestess. Such is tin- legend iliat has been for centuries perpetuated in song and story, on canvas and in marble, till the whole world is familiar with the name Iplti genia. Yi t how much more is there in the case of Sister llose Gertrude to stir the emotions. The Trojan girl was sent to the altar by her father in obedience to a vow. The English girl goes of her own free will to spend what time may be granted between her arrival at Ha waii and her death from the disease— which, unless she' is curried off earlier by other means, is sure to follow—among stricken IK in -.s l. pt in a pen to prevent their contaminating the rest of the world. The woman who thus offers herself is the dun hi <r i cat English clergyman in ih E| !s<opal church. Some seven yett'.s ;;g ~ v.-hen she was about twenty, she ent'Tol the Roman communion Very r.iv.i after she listened to a sermon in which tl e speaker gave an account of the h p< i colony at Kalawao and Father Dumicn's l.'.liot'S there. An inspiration came to her that she should devote her self to this same work. She wished to go at once, but her friends begged Iter to at least wait till she should be older and should know something of the terrible disease. Sue acceded to their wishes for a postponement, hut did not abandon Iter purpose. Five years passed, and then she begun her preparations. Going to Paris, she was trained under the cele brated Pasteur and in the hospitals there, in order that she might gain a scientific knowledge of leprosy. With this train ing she may at once care for the lepers and study the disease which afflicts them. The body in which dwells this heroism is very email, weighing scarcely a hun dred pounds. The face is oval, the eyes bluish gray, the hair dark. The sister is as modest and retiring as she is heroic. Her father and mother and two sisters are living in England and her brother is a farmer in Manitoba. She was educated at the Ladies' college, in Bath, England, and brought up by Iter father in the Church of England, but, when she be came a woman, began to doubt if site was in the right fold, and after six months'study joined the Roman church She lias always loved to care for the sick and began to be a nurse at the Pryor Park mission, in London, following up her training in a London hospital. At Kalawao .Sister Rose will have charge of the leprosy hospital containing sixty lepers. Before leaving England she was presented with a complete set of in struments for the study and cultivation of the leper bacilli as is done at Paris in Pasteur's institute. She will study mi crobes with a view to discovering how they develop under different degrees of temperature, and as she attains results will forward them to the Leprosy so ciety in London. The case of this little nun is one of those singular instances where the great est heroism is contained in the smallest and frailest human compass. And how important the work she may be destined to achieve! riio TuiMiyMOit Family.

Heated Campaign aiitl Fitting Reward. Benjamin Franklin Tracy, whose able administration of tlie navul department of the United States was so suddenly in terrupted by an appalling calamity, was born in Owego, Tioga county, N. Y.,in 1830 and passed his early life on a farm, attending only tlie winter terms of an academy. From boyhood he was notice* ably vigorous, earnest and reliable, und when admitted to the bar. in 1851, lie soon made his mark in law practice. So rapid was bis rise and so great the popu lar confidence in him that in 1853, and again in 1855, he was elected district attorney, though his party was in a mi nority in tlie county. THE TRACY MANSION. In 1801 lie was elected to the legisla ture, in which he was made chairman of the railroad committee, and won fame by defeating the first skillful organiza tion to place a surface railway on Broad way. He entered on the light almost single handed, but his exposure was so effective that lie soon gained adherents, and the scheme went into local history as "a deservedly defeated job." Tlie time came when New York city regret ted that there was not a Tracy at tlie head of the same committee in tlie house. On June 22, 1802, Governor Morgan personally requested Mr. Tracy to raise a regiment in the counties of Broome, Tompkins and Tioga. He soon did that and assisted in raising another and was commisioned as colonel of tlie first—the One Hundred and Ninth New York His career in tlie Army of tlie Potomac was brilliant At the close of the battle of the Wilderness he was carried from the field exhausted, but refused to go to a hospital, and, after a brief rest, led his regiment through the three days'fight at Spottsylvani.u Being completely broken down lie was then compelled to leave the service for a time, hut soon took com mand of the One Hundred and Twenty seventh United § States colored troops. Hecame out of tlie war a brigadier gen eral, resumed tlie practice of law qh one of the firm of iienedict, Tracy & Benedict, and for a few years SECKETAKY TItACY l ' le public heard comparatively lit tle of him, though lie held the office of United States district attorney for the Eastern district of New York from 1800 to 1870. No other fame, probably, is so evanes cent as that of a successful lawyer—es pecially a city lawyer, anil most of all one whose work is chiefly done in his office and concerns property interests chiefly—and it was, therefore, as a new man that Gen. Tracy came into prom inence as counsel with Mr. Evarts and others for Henry Ward Beecher in the protracted and exciting trial of 1875. It was in this connection that the first direct charge of unprofessional or not strictly 'honorable conduct was made against Gen. Tracy—a charge disregarded by the public at the time, but revived in heated political contests afterwards. Theodore Tilton's friends indignantly declared that Gen. Tracy had listened to Tilton's ac count of the matter and afterwards con sented to act as counsel for Mr. Beecher. The statement was as indignantly denied, and goes into the limbo of the insoluble along with so many other statements concerning that remarkable case. The public likewise remained in igno rance of llie fact that Gen. Tracy was a great lover of line horses; that he was often present when big races were run and allou e l bis own horses to bo put on the track, though he never bet himself, until that heated campaign of 18SG, which lore Brooklyn circles pV: tf'r+\ all to pieces and rasjßv ' \ ventilated the 'ri lives of many. fit®v Gen. Tracy was candidate for dis triet attorney of Kings co n 111 y V. against James J. V ijjj) llidgwav, then tli e Democratic MRSI TRAC ' V • occupant of that office; there was a "great uioral reform movement" in progress, and the campaign was savagely personal. Tho charge as to liking a good horse never hurt anybody in Brooklyn politics, but (Jen. Tracy was defeated under cir cumstances which made him enthusi astically activo against the Democrats in 1888. The success of the Republicans in New York that year* was chiefly due to Brooklyn, and Gen. Tracy received much credit for it: it so happened also that lie was the one man on whom all parts of his party in llie slate could unite, and his appointment was therefore a pecu liarly happy one, It is 110 tccrecl that lie took the naval portfolio somewhat re luctantly, as his great wish was to be at torney general, which would certainly seem aiore in line with his talents and pursuits. For New York as a state, however, tlie naval secretaryship is vastly more im portant than tlie other place, and Gen. Tracy lias most ably served the best in terests of his city and party while serv ing his country in away to command general approval. The official and semi official intercourse between him and hi? predecessor, Secretary Whitney, was a most pleasing episode in tlie political movements of the day, and their per sonal relations, with suggestions for iin provementof tlie navy , have been highly honorable to both. In addition to ac cepting the plans for defensive actior (coast defenses and tlie like) which liavi been settled for some years as the na tional policy, Secretary Tracy purposed to go much farther, to the construction of line of battle ships ready for offensive action if desired, and on this point will come the first discussion of his policy. Geu. Tracy's domestic circumstances have been of tlie happiest, and the Brooklyn friends of Mrs. Tracy now re call with grief some of her expressions on leaving that city to tlie effect that she did not hope to be as happy in Washing ton as at her old home. . Sue united two qualities not often found together—an extremely charitable disposition and good judgment in giving. She was one of tlie founders of the Home for Friend less Children. Personally she did not like "society in big doses," as one interviewer expresses it: small parties, small gatherings of per sonal friends she greatly enjoyed. Her place among tliecabinet ladies, however, was well sustained; and the young and fair, as well as the official society, were looking forward to a winter of unusual enjoyment when death invaded tliecabi net circle—and with such rapid blows! Scarcely had tlie American people time to express their deep sympathy with Secretary Blaine in his double affliction when they were shocked by the.appalling calamity to the Trncys. In Brooklyn society there is, besides the general sorrow, a deep and special grief for Miss Mamie Tracy, who was a charming and cultured lady with much musical and artistic talent, and it adds not a little to the grief of her frietids that she, like her mother, did not favor going to Washington. Mrs. Tracy's maiden name was Belinda E. Catlin.and she was a native of the same county as lier hus band—Tioga, N. Y. Their three children, Emma Eloise (now Mrs. Wilmcrding), Frank B. and Mary Farrington, were also born there, in Owego. Miss Mamie was 20 years old, and received most of her education in Brooklyn, and was loved and admired by all who knew her. New York** Wrecked Hank*. When G. 11. Pell and P. J. Claasen bought the control of the Sixth National bank in New York, by a very cunning but not altogether cotnmendahl • piece of financiering, they paid for it out of its own treasury.

Science brings about economy, and In these days of varied manufactures, and perfect facilities for carrying tliem on, there is very little waste material in any branch of trade. The Sunday Call in de scribing the slaughter of cattle at New ark, N. J., says that no part of a steer is lost save its dying breath. Nothing is wasted from the tip of the tongue to the brush on the end of the tail. The blood is caught and sold to make albumen for sugar refineries and other manufactures, or to form a cheap substitute for the hard rubber and other plastic material used in the manufacture of buttons. When the meat is dressed the contentsof the stomach are removed, dried and baled as manure, and tliestom ach itself is prepared as tripe. The hide goes to the tanner, the head is skinned and denuded of flesh for the sausage maker, the horns go to the comb maker, who knocks out the pith and sells it to the glue manufacturer, who is ever ready to take all the refuse from any part of the steer. The horny coverings of the hoofs aro almost as use ful as horn for making buttons and sim ilar articles, and the feet can bo used for oil and glue. The shinbones make the finest of bone handles, and nil the rest of the bony structure, which the butcher 13 unable to sell with the meat, finds its way event ually to the manufacturer of bone fertil izer and bone black. A few of the tails are utilized, in cold weather, in the manufacture of oxtail soup, hut usually "the tail goes with the hid," ami becomes spoiled for domestic use while lying about in the tannery. Every scrap of the animal's skin, even the pate, as the skin of the head is called, is used, in one way or another, and the refuse of the tanneries becomes unim portant part of the income of those establishments.
