HUGH RIDDLES PROMOTION.
A dispatch received here yesterday announces
the election of Mr.. Hugh Riddle as President
and Of Dar!d II. Dows as Vfcc-Prcsiicnt Of the
Chicago, Rock Island i Pacific Railroad.
The appointment Of Mr.. Hugh Riddle as
President of the road sncaks well for tho
sa9actJ and good judgment OF Tho
Board Of Directors. "a better selection could
not hAvc been made. Mi. Rt1dlet a. Vice-Prcst-
don't mud General Manager has been virtually
the President Of tho road for many years, n
Mr.. Tracy, tho lato President, was lncapacttated
from taking part lu the active management ut
tho line. To Mr. Riddles excellent nanaro-
,nent tue present prosperity Of tho Chicago, Rock
Island Il Pacific tailruad is In u grent measure
due. While the securities Of many other West
ern railroads have greatly tlcpreclatcd during
tho Inst year, the stocks Of this Company hare
continued TO be quoted ut tileir former high
rntcs, which speaks volumes Ia favor Of Mr.
Riddles management and Judgment. Had any
other nan snceecdctl Afr. Tracy In tho Presidency
very possibly the securities Of this road would
lfavc dcprcc!atcd; us It is, however, they will
undoubtedly appreciate in value. Tl,is promo
tion gives great satisfaction TO The employees Of
the road, who appreciate the uniform Kindness
with which Mr.. H. has always treated them.

4 NTR1NGE STORY.

Here is n true story from Philadelphia, with
I'll the clements of mystery and dramatic
horror Cor which our modern nOvclists and
playwrirhts strive in vain. Two or three
months after the Exposition closed the dead
body OF a man was found in a lonely gorge,
six miles from the city, too much decOmpOsed
for recognition, and without the slightest
ciew in li3 clothing by which to identify him.
1t was supposed he had been guest at the
Giaugcr's Hotel, which was an enormous tenn
porary barracks to which thousands OF tran
sicnt lcdgers came daily. No register was
kept nor could any account be taken OF them
after they paid for their room in advance.
What could he more unlikely than that this
unacceptable body could be identified as one
of the namclcss millions who came and went
through Philadelphia last year, OF that his
murderer should be found
Yet, by chance letter to prominent news
paper publisher from Germany, the whole
stun.e story is laid bare. The murdered man
proves to be a young German of wealthy
family who cametO Philadelphia last Summer.
At this Changers Hotel ne fell in with another
German ami formed close eompanionship
with him. The stranger learned all In secrets,
obtained letters from him, from which he studied
his handwriting, pcculiarities of expression,
etc. When his plans were ripe ne entlced the
Young fellow ont TO this lonely gorge, killed
him, took possession OF his trunk and other
property, and opened correspondence with
his family IN Germany. Since last October this
correspondence has been carried on, the murderer
pcrsonatiug his victim and obtaining by pleas
of illness, losses, etc, large sums of money.
b. this time his arrest will in all probability
be made. We spoke the other day of the in
exorable justice which dogs the steps of a
guilty man. But we never remember to have
seen stronger proof OF it than this, unless it
was the death of lee ut Mountain Meadows.
In old times the avenger of blood held it as a
sacred duty to pursue the murderer, and the
Ernnycs helped HIM with keen eyes whose sight
reached around the world We have given
over the matter 70 the police, who certainly are
not weighted with oppressive sacred duty and
who see much worse than other people. Yet,
by some mysterious pmsuer sent by other
hands than ours, the guilty man is followed
and brought to justice Mt last.

Olteniza land perhaps little further west
ward) to the Kilia mouth. Kalafat, opposite
Widdin, appears to be held by the Roumanlans'
The first rapid movement southwark had Tor
its object the securing of important positions
on the Danube; and it fully succeeded. Bnt
the passage of the river cannot be attempted,
in the presence of the powerful aud alert
Turkish gunboats, until the Russian positions
are strong enough to hold the former at safe
distance. A bOmbardment at this or that point
must not be considered az an indication OF a
design to force passage there; and we snail
not hear of any such attempt on a grand scale,
until it has either succeeded or desperately
failed. The news reported from CONSTANT
nople is especially to be distrustedj but, IN
order to test its character, we must wait until
Russia permits her version of the story to APP
pear. In following the course OF the war, we
