RESIGNATION 0F.MAJ. FFYR.

The resignation Of Maj. Henry Fink,
as Vice President of the Norfolk and
Western railroad has caused great sur
prise In railroad circles. Various arc
the c0u1ectufes of the motives which
led to this action on his part. The most
probable theory, Inn view of those who
know Mr.. Fink well, 10 Is stated TO be,
is that ne did net approve the manage
meutl of the Shenandoah Valley rail-
road i'm so far az it has been rather push
ing the interests of that line az the ex-
pense Of the Norfolk and Western. II
is said the Norfolk and Western il and
has for long time been the especial
pride of Mai. Fink. Whenrit changed
hands q few years ago his relations 20
the new management were uncertain.
BE received an offer from the Illinois
Central 10 become the general manager
of its system at q salary Of $50 900. aud
few days later he had a proposition
from the Baltimore aud Ohio to become
its third Vice President and general
manager at a salary of SIS, 900. Both
these magnificent offers were declined
to enable him to remain with the line to
which he was so much attached. If it
10 true, as stated, that the joint manage
ment of the Shenandoah Valley and the
Norfolk and Western has been partial
to the former at the latter's expense,
this explanation seems plausible. It is
fatty denied that the influence OF Sem
ator Malone had anything whatever to
do with Maj. Fink's resignation. His
connection with the Esst Tennessee,
Virginia and Georgia line Ia not at all
affected by the resignation referred to.
II Is said that the management of that
line have been trying fer some time to
secure monopoly of Maj, Fink's servi-
ces. A dispatch from Lynchbnrg says
it is reported in railroad circles that
Maj. Fink will 60 to Knoxville about
July / In. the interest of Jay Gould, who
is trying to get possession of the East

tien with the Seaboard road and run

fraud so rampant in the office year
