THE RAILROADS.

TIE NEW PRESIDENT OF THE I'LL
NO1S CENTRAL.
There has been vacancy in the Presidential
chair Of the Illinois Central Railroad for nearly
two years. at the last meeting Of the Board OF
Directors, held in New York Oh the Goth, it Was
decided to fill the vacancy, and MIR. ". Il.
Ackerman, who. ever since the retirement Of
President Douglass, has been the First Vice
President and Acting President Of the road,
was unanimously promoted to the positition OF
President. 1fr. Ackcrman we'll deserves the
compliment, as he has proved himself to be
manager of more than ordinary ability mud
sacacity since assuming control OF the property.
Under his management the road successfully
wcathercd the failures OF the crops along its
lines last season and the dull times from which
all the roads suffered, and to-day it again stands
proudly in the front ranks OF our Western rail-
roads, with its securities as high as those of
most Of them. This result is ina great meas
ure to be attributed to the ability Of afr. Ack-
crlnan as L huancler. In this particular AIR.
Ackcrman is an expert having had an unusual
amount Of experience. lie entered the service
OF the Illinois Central Railroad as q clerk in the
financial department Of the road in New York
nearly twenty-six years ago. and BY energy, in
he attained the position OF Treasurer, aud af-
tcrwards General Auditor at Chicago. As
already stated, he was promoted to the position
Of Firs1 Vicc-Prcsident about two years ago,
and has becn Acting President ever since presi-
man WIS born in New York Is years
ago, aud comes from the old Enick-
crboc}1cr stock. Ills father has been
a resident of that city for eighty-dve successive
years. Mr. J. c. Clark succeeds Mr. Ackerman
a. First Eicc-Pres:dcnt, but will remain at the
same time General Manager OF the New Orleans
branch. 1t is probable that before long Mr..
Clark vii! be elected President Of the New Or
leaus line in place Of Mr.. Osborn. who iDtenasto
resign. Under the new Presidency the Illinois
Central can hardly fail to prosper, especially as
Mr.. Ackerman has the able assistance Of Mr..
Joseph Tucker, Master OF Transportation, and
Mr.. E. T. Jeffrics, Superintendent.

WAsnISuroH, D. c., Oct. R.-1n tue HtpHb-
hean this morning appears al article copied from
the Utica 01sesYy, In shleh an effort is made to
show that George william Curtis and Joseph
MelcIl drew 500 day for their services on tho
Ciy;1-Scryice Commission In 1871. Pretended
copies OF vouchers on d1e In tho Treasury are
printed, from which It would appear that each
Of these gentlemen drew 500 for ten days
service
An examination Of the original vouchers shows
that no length Of time ts spesdled in them,
and that the words "ten dhyh' have
been lnterpoIated In the newspaper copies
to suit the purpose Of tile article.
The members OF the Commission were allowed
Erots SUN OF *33,0U0 each out Of tue Con.
gresslonal appropriation Of $1u,c00, BY order Of
Secretary Fish, who controlled tue disbursement
Of the money. This compensation they wcrc At

Their next meeting was 10 October. On the llth
OF June, Mr. Curtis altl afs. Mcdill drew $5u0

A Winters Tale.

It was dreadfully cold last nigth,
and the street-car was pretty well
filled, when an elderly party, rather
embonpoint about the waistband, en-
tered, bringing with him enough co d
air TO freeze a cellar full OF house
plants. lie stood up in the middle of
the car, and fastening his eyes on the
fare-box, began TO feel for his nickel.
He first united a great shawl-scarf that
encircled his neck and hid all Of his
face but his eyes. Then he loosened
the ear flaps of his cap, and unlocked a
fur muller that Rugged his throat.
Then he nnbuttoned the cape Of his
0vercoat and threw it back over his
shoulders. submerging two men that
stood behind him. Then he unbut-
toned his overcoat and turned it back,
filling the car like laIeen sail. Then
he unbuttoncd the lower buttons of a
knit jacket and his undercoat, and,
with a grunt that frightened the hors-
IS into run, tried Ia reach into his
hip pocket. The first effort was a
highly successful failure, and at the
second dive he threw the end Of his
shawl scarf, spirits Of his cape, and tail
Of his overcoat over the people on the
seat behind them. and a smothered
groan broke from the whole conmu
nifty. Finally he got his hand into the
pocket, and his purple face and sWol-
len veins indicated approaching appo-
plexy. but the hand came out before
any fatal result, and the passengers
bTeathed more freely. But when they
saw him lean over to the other side,
| and make a reach for his other pocket,
they groaned.
After repeated efforts he brought up
ont Of that pocket ring OF keys, a
stump Of lead-penciI, and d tobacco
box, and the people groaned again.
Then he hunched both shoulders and
went into his vest pockets. Out Of
one he brought little roll of newspa'
per scraps, a suspender button, a frag-
ment of postage stamp, and a quill
| tooth-pick badly damaged. Out of the
other he pulled a piece Of string, and a
brass screw, and tWo-cent piece.
Then he felt in his Watch-pocket, and.
with many signs and puffs, he dragged
up little dirty looking Wad which
| threatened TO be money, but proved To
| be lint. Then somebody Uttered. and
some one else giggIed, and finally ey.

ger doubled down and scraped around
for it for five blocks before he could
end it. And then when he picked it

and wrap himself up again, but start

on his hands and knees in the straw,
he had been carried five blocks past
