who have from time immemorial set their
faces against secret societies give this their
approval. 1t denies capital none of its just
rights, but it aims by all lawful means at
lifting up the oppressed poor from their
degradation by employing It's good offices
towards securing for them proper recon-
pense for their toll. Its rites and symbols
have in them the elements of broad, lib

CHANGES IN B. & o. MANAGEMENT.
BALTIMORE, Aug. 4-Rumors are cur.
rent here of certain changes proposed in the
management of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad. The most definite shape assumed
by them is that Mr.. Garret will probably be
succeeded by Mr.. William Keyser, now
Second Vice-President, and Mr.. Thomas R.
Sharp, Master of Transportation, by Mr.. E.
X. Hyndman, Superindent of the Pittsburg
and Connellsville Railroad Company.
The.officers of the road have naturally
nothing to say in regard to the rumors ex-
cept that they are untrue and have no
foundation except street talk, for no action
will be taken at the annual election and
that any change will then be made is
one of the possibilities. The votes of the
"outside" stockholders count but little in
the general result, as of the 10000 shares
of capital stock, the city of Baltimore, the
Johns Hopkins University, and Mr.. John
W. Garrett and his personal friends own
majority. The balance of power is in effect
held by the university. shonld the univero
sity decide to change its vote at the next or
any succeeding election, there is little doubt
that the outside stockholders would follow
its example.
