THE BALTIMORE AND OHIO RoAD-Ru-
n1cred Changes of ArDugeyle1.-Rumors have
for some time past been current that certain
changes IN The management OF the B tlti-
more and Ohio railroad were being cOnsid-
cred. The most definite shape assumed by
them was that Mr.. Garrett would probably
be succeeded by MIR. VIM. Key ser, now Sec
ond vice president, and Mr.. Thomas Il.
Starp, master of transportation, by Mr.. F..
h. HyDdman, superintendent of the Pitts
burg and COnnelisviile railroad company. A
reporter Of The Hdzette made very careful in
qniries yesterday in various a. irections and
was Informed OF the following facts: The
election ioT officers is held in October, and
until then nothtng absolutely defuite can be
learned. What is said meanwhile. while of
course OF DO little importance, Is only the ex-
preston of opinion by various stock
holders, directors and others interested IN
one way or another In the road. The officers
of the road have naturally nothing tos,y In
regard 10 the rumOrs except that they are I'M
true and have no foundation except street
talk, for no action Will be taken until the an
nual election, and that any change will thea
be made Is only one OF the pOss abilities. Mr.
Garrett has again and again requested the
board OF directors To relieve him from the
buroeu of labor imposed BY the duties of the
preside mt OF the road, and has always here
tOfOre been requested to retain the position.
IT seems probable now, however, that If
elected this year again, similar reqrest
from him would be at least consideTeI-
