The designations of Vice Presi-
dent King and Second Vice Presi-
dent Keyser were yesterday laid be-
fore the president and directors of
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company at the monthly meeting.
These designations have for some
months past been more or less mat
ters Of rumor. In the case Of Vice
President King, declining health
and the advice of physicians have
warned him for more than a year
to give himself rest from his pro-
tracted and arduous labors. His
letter of resignation gives a short
sketch of his long and intimate con-
nection with the road, and shows
the regret with which he sewers his
connection with it. The letter of
Mr.. Keyser is more brief, but is
equally cordial in its leave-taking of
all the officers of the company and
in its appreciation Of the uniform
courtesy and consideration received
at their hands. These designations
were accepted by the board, with
resolutions of great respect and good
feeling, and regret at the loss Of Of
fcers OF such marked ability. Mr..
Robert Garrett was then unanimous
ly elected first vice-presdent of the
railroad-an Office for which his dis
tinguished abilities and his practical
acquaintance with the business of
the road and its branches eminently
qualify him. Mr.. Samuel Spencer,
who was elected third vice-presi-
dent, Is an officer of large expert
ence as a railroad man. Mr.. John
