McCoy, Baltimore. REPORTS OF PRESIDENT AND GEN ERAL MANAGER. The reports of the President, Hon. R. R. Bridgers, and the General Manager, Mr. H. Walters, give de tails of operating the roads and its branches, and Jlso the financial condition. The closing fiscal year has been a prosperous one,and botlr the freight and passenger business show a healthy increase. The gross earnings of the Wilmington & Wel don road were $1,135,232.32, and the expenses $587.102.G5; net receipts $548,129.67. The report of operations of the Wilmington, Columbia & Augusta Railroad shows that the gros3 earn ings were $779,988.82, the expenses $539,340.72, and the net receipts $240,648.10- There was an increase of $19,404.60 ia receipts from through passengers as compared with 1887, and an increase of $17,880.52 from local passengers. The increase for the same time on the Wilmington & Weldon road and. branches was $25,. 867.53 from through passengers and $17,690.42 from local passengers. The total number of passengers trans ported during the year on the W. & W. road was 31,494, and on the W. C. & A. 213,919. Of the work accomplished the past year, the following ia an epitome: They have extended the Scotland Neck Branch from Scotland Neck to Conehoe Creek, a distance of twelve miles from its present terminus, or thirty mile (rui its junction with the Wilmington & Weldon Railroad, and the grading is complete to. the Albemarle & Raleigh RaiIroat,!(Us tince of twelve miles, making twen ty-four miles. The rails and cross ties have been secured, and the Com pany is laying the track from Cone hoe to the Albemarle & Raleigh Railroad, which will be completed during the present year, and ready for operation. The contract has been iiia.de. for grading from there to i point near Greenville, They have also constructed 2.97 miles from the State line towards Fayettoville, being part of the Wil" son & Fayetteville Branch, comple ted as far as a station called Row land. This, with the Florence Rail road, commencing on the W., C. &i A. near the Pee Dee river, a distance ; of 24.47 miles, makes complete this the W., C. & A. R. R. to the statiou Rowland. The remainder of this line to Fayetteville will be com pleted whenever the Company wishj es the same to be done. The Manchester & A.qgusta; HalN road starts (ram Sumter, S, C going M Ml "M-um "f-"'. , and has been completed to Halfway, or Pine Long Swamp, a distance of 14 miles. The remaining four miles ... have been let to contract. This Company has ared with the i in Norfolk,' for which large expendi- . - '.- ' . - - " V "- - - s -.. ' tures have been made. It is gratilying to note that there has been'a considerable increase in the local freight and passenger bus iness, the number of local passen gers having increased 24.4 and the revenue 13.5 per cent., and this too while the local passenger rates were decreased 12i percent., and an addi tional train, both North and South j bound, was run the year round to ? u. . c -uw - . w. yuau. It has i? ven snch satisffictinn to i ih public that the General Manager recommends-that, while its receipts have not equalled its expenses, it should be continued cis, a perma nency The trucking business developed by the Atlantic Coast Dispatch Line, for the shipmentof early vege tables and fruits to Northern mar kets, has been beyond the expecta tions of the most sanguine, and a large increase in this business is an tieipated the coining year, particu larly from local points on the Wil mington & Weldon Railroad. The increased tonnage has re quired a very large addition to the freitrht equipment of the Atlantic Coast Line .which has been increased with nineteen engines, eight coaches and 381 freight cars. The capacity of the Wilmington Car Shops fs about fifteen freight cars per month, and these shops will be- kept busy during the coming year. It is proposed" to relay the Clinton Branch road with steel rails, al though the road has been operated at a loss this year as expected, The business of the year, the re ports say, has been conducted with safety and dispatch, and both offi cers and employes are commended for a,faithful and prompt fulfillment of duties. DIRECTORS' MEETING. At a subsequent meeting of the Directors the following officers were elected for the ensuing year, viz: Vice President B, F. Newcomer. General Manager H, Walters. Asst. General Manager and Super intendent of Transportation J. R. Kenly. General Superintendent J. F. Di vine, General Auditor W. A. Riach. Treasurer J. F. Post, Jr. There was also a meeting of the stockholders of the Wilmington Co lumbia & Augusta, the Florence & Manchester and Augusta railroads and the same officers elected by the Wilmington & Weldon Railroad were elected to serve on these roads. "Ou With th,o Qauce." Figur-ately speaking, It "rained cats and dogs" last night, but yet the heavy downpourdid not prevent a good attendance at the ball given last night in xVdrian Hall. Our Ger man citizens had determined upon having a good, time and when they make up their minds to this effect a few buckets full of rain water, more or less, are not allowed to interfere with the programme. It was a de lightful occasion, notwithstanding the weather, and the contrast be tween the lights and the music and the general enjoyment in the Hall, compared 4o tlie wild night outside but-seemed to add to the zest of the occasion. The dance was on and joy was uncontmeu. An elegant supper was served at midnight and the festivities were kept up for hours afterwards. City Court. Mayor Fowler disposed of the fol lowing cases this morning: Florence Snow, larceny, ease con tinued. Thos. Arrington, disorderly con duct, $10 or 20, days. MajLor Dixon and Jno. Faison, dis orderly conduct, each were fined $10 or 20 days. Wm. Saunders and O. W. Snol berg, deserters, held until their (tap tain arrives.

Case on triI. Mr. Arnold's first Lecture. Rev. Mr. Arnold's lecture last night at the St. James lecture room was not largely attended, but there were some who braved the fury, of the elements and who were well re paid for venturing out in such in clement weather. It was the first of the series which Mr. Arnold is to deliver on the Evidences of Chris tianity, but was more of a prologue than one of the regular number of lectures and those who attend the next will hear the first of the regu lar series. Mr. Arnold spoke of "Robert Elsmere," the recent pub lication which is being so extensive ly read, and outlined the subject matter treated there, speaking of the work of the minister and of his gradual fall into disbelief and into the new and disquieting theory that so many of the opponents of Chris tianity are now spreading abroad that the gospels are not authentic and that the Messiah was himself merely a good man and a wise man, perhaps a prophet, and altogether denying his divinity. The series promises to be one o f the most interesting ever delivered In this city and those who attend will find that the time has been well and profitably employed. A Paradise for Sportsmen. This section ought to be a verita ble paradise for sportsmen. There is hardly another on the Atlantic Coast that can equal it. Wild game of all kinds is literally abundant. There are thousands upon thou sands of ducks in salt water and in fresh water; partridges, squirrels and rabbits abound everywhere. Occasionally a panther is treed and killed and deer are very plentiful. These lattor seem to make their headquarters on the coast. None are found in the red clay counties in the interior and but few in the moun tains. Near this city there are hun dreds of them and they abound in the woods in Brunswick, Columbus, Bladen, Pender, Sampson, Onslow and Duplin counties. We have known them to be killed within four miles of the city. Some "years ago the black tongue got out among them and numbers died, but of late years they have been very healthy and have increased wonderfully. And in addition to this there are many black bears in the swamps, notably in Columbus and Pender counties. Those who are fond of j fine sport could fhid it here. Plead- ' quarters oonld be made? id the city and hunting parties could branch out hence for solue of the best sport ing ground in North America.
