order Mr.. @. III. Valiant is appointed freight
traffic manager at Chicago, Mr.. r. C. Villas con-
tinuing as freight-trafic manager at New York.
George Fl. Valiant. who, May ], retired from
the position of general freight agent of the
Lake Shore road. had been with the Lake Shore
road since 1867, six years as agent at Cleveland
station, eight years as assistant general freight
agent, and nearly four years as general freight
agent. He commenced railway work in 1855, as
clerk in the local freight Office.
Il W. Gays, who, May !, retired from the
general freight agency of the Indianapolis & st:
Louis road, had held the position since 1881, and
from 1879 to that date he was assistant general
freight agent of the road. Previous to
1879 he was for two years general
agent of the Cleveland, Columbus, Gin
had gradually worked his way up from the bot
tom of the ladder, having commenced as a mes
senger boy in the service Of the Erie road at
Dunkirk, N. Y, in 1861. .
j. III. Woodland, who represents the Wabash
road on the Western slope, tells his competitors
the position the Wabash will take in the event of
a disruption of the pool He says: 1.-THE Wa
bash will take care of itself If a war OF rates goes
on. We have over 700 miles of the haul between
San Francisco and New York, and can pay as
much for business as any other line. We are
not cutting rates, but can pay as much con-
mission as any other line can. / am in favor of
low rates and opposed to any cut in agreed rates,
but if any road attempts to Guido us by paying
higher commissions to passengers, we Will be
forced in self-defense to do not only as much,
but more"
The promotion of II. B. Stone to the high po-
sition Of general manager of the Chicago, Burl-
ington & Quincy railroad proper, embracing
abont z, 900 miles of lines, is another example of
rapid rise from the ranks, due to ability and
merit. A few years ago Mr.. Stone, who is still
in the thirties, was a boy in the shops Of the
Burlington company. He was there to learn the
business. and he learned it thoroughly through
the various grades of the mechanical department,
until he became division master mechanic of the
road. In 1880 he was made superintendent OF
the locomotive and car department; the next year
was promoted to be general superintendent; two
years later to be assistant general manages and
now, in less than two years more, has become
general manager.

The Richardson Zouaves ard the Indianapolis
Light Artillery left yesterday afternoon for
Mobile, Ala, where they 90 to attend the prize
drill held there next week. The Zouaves had
not definitely decided to 60 until Friday night,
as they found considerable difficulty in getting
enough members for their drill squad who could

at all confident Of winning. There are two
prizes for zouave companies, 81, 900 and $500,
and the contestants will be the Bush Zouaves, OF
st. Louis, who are almost sure to get first place,
the Ford Zouaves, OF Chicago, and the Richard
sons. A number Of the boys will visit New
Orleans before they return.

NEW YORK CITY, L. B. 1927,
New-York tribune., 1885-02-20
PERSONAL.

Henry Ware, who died last week at Cambridge
Mass, of the late Rev. William Ware author
OF Zenoba and other works that were prominent In
the New-England literature OF their day. Mr. Wars
served as confidential secretary to two Massachusetts
Gnycrnors-Andrew aud Bullock-and clerk for two
years Of the United Stat ~ senate.
Now that Mr. Henry James has found so many capital
subjects for buresquc the people OF Boston, It Is
q matter OF wonder that other novel writer does
deal In similar strain with a one-tme resident of
that city who ia eminent an author. The literary
gentleman In question lived in Mt Ycrnonst one winter
recently and kept the whole neghborhood In uproar
with his nerves." All the had to be killed that
his slumbers might not be broken by their minsht
with bated breath and hell In the house with
muied tongue. Even to this day that season IL named
that terrible winter" And the voice Of rlor whispers

4 C1SE FOR A MAND1MUS.

If Citizen Charles =. Miller has not gone out
of the practice of law since be became a
Legislative agent" at Albany, he. will find
there a case urgently requiring his attention.
year ago he in company with Mr. Theodore
Roosevelt, presented to Governor Cleveland
charges of malfeasance in Office against Sheriff
Davidson. The charges were supported by
documentary evidence, and by strong testimony
taken by special committee of the Assembly.
Governor Cleveland quietly pigeon-holed the
charges. He was a candidate for President, and
thereafter Sheriff Davidson was found to be
one of his most enthusiastic supporters. When
the Governor went out of Office he turned over
to his successor the case of Sheriff Davidson.
Mr. Miller was busiy engaged at that time in
company with Mr.. Roosevelt in running the
affairs of the city government by means OF in
functions. His practice in that line might make
it an easy matter for him now to procure n
mandamus to compel Governor Hill to decide
before the next election, the case of the Sheriff.
1t is we'll known that the Governor is candi-
date for reelection. He Is not certain that
Tammany Hall will support him. However,
that probably had no connection with the recent
change in the Sheriifs office, which threw out n
Tammany man from the office of Under Sheriff,
and led to the appointment Of member OF an
opposing faction. But the Sherit is in favor OF
the nomination O. David Hill for Governor.
1t would be worth something to the cause OF
honest government to have. the case OF the
Sheriff decided, one way or the other. There
seems to be no way, short of a mandamus to
get that decision. 1t may be said that there is
no law warranting the issue of such a docu-
| ment against the executive officer of the State.
| But Mr.. Miller is not the man to be balked by a
| little thing like that, as recent experience
| proves. He may have overlooked this ex-
