Nothing definite has yet been announced
regarding the general managership OF the

the first choice Of Receiver Humphreys. His
name is thought to come last on the list
C. Fl. Chapel, J. T. Tucker, and E. B.
Thomas preceding him in favor in the order
named. It was semi-authoritatiyely stated

slider the proposition without assurance that
he was to have sway free from dictation on
the part of Jay Gould. and on condition that

It appears from reports published in the
ST. Louis papers that the receivers of the
Wabash still entertain hopes of securing the
services of Mr.. C. Fl. Chappell, of the Chi
cago 81 Alton, as general manager Of their
road. If they really have such hopes they /
should abandon them at once, as Mr. Chap
pen has no idea of accepting the position
no matter how big in nducements may be offer
ed him It does not appear that formal
offer Of the position has been made'to Mr.
j. E. Tucker. late traffic manager of the Il
linois Central. 1t is now the opinion that
the dark horse from the east referred to
few davs ago will get the position. The man
turns out to be George II. Burrows, superin-
tendent of the New York Central, and for
merly with the Wabash He is said TO be an
unusually efficient mauager and popular
