pay 8 per cent, a year and let the fact be
known, because the commission would be
after it as quickly ns the shock comes efter
the roar. Down would go rates with n
horizontal reduction all around, and the
next year the road would be doing well if
it paid salaries.
“Apropos of the fight,which daily waxes
hotter, is a report that if the present man
agement is re-elected one gofden plum is
sure to change bands. For several years
Goneral A. R. Lawton haH been lending
counsel for the Railroad and Banking
Company at $10,000 per annum. The gen
eral Is a brother-in-law of General Alex
ander, and is doing all he can to defeat

planTbut it has not worked. Their prin
cipal attorney is working to oust them.and
if the present board of directors is ro-elect-
«d there will be one vacancy, and an early
ono, it is said, in the company’s attorney-
ship.
“Mr. B. A. Dcnmard, of Denmard &
Adams, would stand a good chance of get
ting the position, ns he is an able lawyer
ana has strong friends on the board ot di
rectors. That is one change that is count
ed on if Capt. Raoul is re-elected. If he is
defeated it would puzzle a Delphic Oracle
to foretell what changes will be • made.
All the employes believe that the general
will out down salaries if he is elected. He
says that he will run the road on modern
principles, and perhaps the fears of the
employes* are well grounded. For the
safety of the traveling public and the ad
herence to the schedule, it is to be hoped
that the general’s ideas of what are
modern principles embrace the adoption
ofthe telograpnie system for the running
of trains.
"It has been stated that the Alexander
party is preparing to apply fo. a manda
mus to compel the management to make
publlo a list ofthe names ofthe stockhold
ers ofthe company. If thnt is done it will
place Gen. Lawton in a position similar to
Pooh-Bah’s when Ko-Ko consulted him
about the festivities of- the approaching
marriage. As private secretary that
worthy remarked: “ Don’t stint yourself,”
but as chancellor ofthe exchequer he was
bound to see due economy observed. As
Gen. Alexander’s friend, Gen. Lawton,
would be inclined to say to the directors:
“I advise you to accede to their demands,”
as lord high attorney of the company he
would be bound to say, “ Do not do any
thing of the kind.”
“There is good authority for the state
ment that General Alexander does not ex-
? oot to bo elected this time. He proposes,-
hough, to hold on to what stock he has
and make a desperate figlitoneyear hence.
The trouble four years ago was that his
syndicate could not hold tho stock it
bought up. Had it been able to carry that
stock a year General Alexander might
have buen tho Central’s president three
years ago. He is in much better financial
condition now than he was then. The list
of stockholders cannot, be obtained in time
to do him any good in this canvass; but he
Will have It for another year.”
BIG RAILROAD CHANGES.
Important Division Chungt* on the Ilulllmori'
and Ohio.
A Pittsburgh, Fa., special to the Tribune
says: A man posted on railroad matters
informed a reporter yesterday afternoon
that he expocted some important changes
in the management of the Baltimore aud
Ohio about the first of the year. He ex-
g ects to sec the first vice president,
amuel Spencer, resign, and be succeeded
by the second vice president, Thomas
King. He added, “Next, I think that in
stead of having one general manager, as at
present, there will bo three general mana
gers. The line from New York to Balti
more, with its branches, will form one
general division, with Jas. McCreighton os
general manager; tljo lines east of the
Ohio river, including the Pittsburg divi
sion, the Metropolitan branch, the Parkers
burg branch, the Shenandouh-valley,
branch and all others later, will form the
central grand divison. I am told that
William M. Clements, at present general
munager of the Erie Express Company,
has been . offered the position. Captain
Clements was formerly master of transpor
tation of the Baltimore and Ohio, and un
der the Sponccr plan of reorganization was
made general superintendent, a position
subordinate of that of General Manager
Denham, who was brought from the
Louisville and Nashville. The failure
to appoint Captain Clements to
the general managership was a
source of mortification to him, and,
in fact, to nearly all of tho Baltimore au
thorities, and, as soon as au opportunity
was offered, he resignod, to accept the
management of the Erie express. The
trans-Ohio interests of the Baltimore and
Ohio will form another division, with
W. W. Peabody, formerly president and
general manager of the Ohio and Missis
sippi. as general manager. Mr. Peabody,
like Captain Clements, has been one ofthe
best and most intelligent to the Baltimore
and Ohio officials. At the recent reorgan
ization of the Ohio and Mississippi he was
tendered the office of president, but de
clined in order to retain his connection
with the Baltimore and Ohio.”

It is iu the power of tho humblest to

Rev. H. H. Fairall, D. D., editor of the
Iowa Methodist, says editorially, in the
November (1883) number of his paper:
“We have tested the merits of Ely’s Cream
Balm, and bolieve that by a thorough
course of treatment, it will cure almost
every case of catarrh. Ministers, as a

lent than aver. We cannot recommend
