| IMPORTANT CHANGE ON THE SHORT LINE
Mr.. James Mcehan. for many years General
Manager of the Short Line at this point,
sent his resignation to headquarters Satur.
day, to take effect at once. The Company
at once dispatched Mr.. Sid. Gates, to assist
Mr.. Meehan, but the latter positively de-
clined any assistance or increase OF salary
from the Company and the management
was turned over to Mr.. Gates yesterday.
Mr.. Meehan says the road for several
months has been doing nearly double the
amount of work with but comparatively
slight increase in the rolling stock, and the
number of hands are by no means able to
do the work, and complaints we're con
tinually coming in from ali quarters about
the blockade of freight, when cars were
being used to transfer coal. Mr. Meehan's
health has been greatly impaired from
overe xertion night and day. Mr.. s
G. Cecil, Agent at this point for thu
road, finding it impossible to do the worl
imposed on him, also sent in his resigna
ton, which the Company accepted. Mr.
w. H. Cox, Agent at Midway Station, ha'
been transferred to Newport to fill thu
vacancy. Mr. Cox has been in the emplo,
of the Company over fifteen years, ant
comes we'll recommended.
