   The annual report of the Petersburg and Weldon Railroad Company {the Petersburg RR} shows a falling off of nearly $17,000 in gross receipts as compared with the previous year, three-fourths of which is in the passenger department, caused by the interruption of travel arising out of the disturbed condition of the country during the latter part of the year. The aggregate debt of the company has been reduced to $99,266.
