the New York Central Railroad, since which
time he mas acted as engine dispatcher for
the western division. He was selected head
of the Brotherhood, at their reorganization,
at indianapolis, in 1864, position which the
conventions subsequently held at Rochester,
Boston, Cincinnati and Chicago, have unan-
mously retained him in, and in doing 50, we
think they have acted wisely and well.
Mr.. W. is a tall, powerfully built man, sp-
parently on the sunny side Of forty, Of plea
sant address, with smoothly shaved face
and good nature beaming from as jolly
a countenance as can be seen in a weeks
travel. Caution and sterling common sense
are his chief characteristics.

Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railroad,
