The Globe-DemOcrat speaking of
the contemplated changes On the Mis-
souri, Pacific road, says:
1.-The latest rumor with reference
to the Missouri Pacific official changes
comes from very reliable source, and
is to the effect that if III. M. Hoxie,
irst vice president and general mana
ger of the Gould lines, is compelled
by broken health to retire from active
luty, a strong effort will be made by
he Missouri Pacific company to in
luce Capt. r. S. Hayes to return to
he position of first vice president,
formerly occupied by him; and it is
urther intimated that this was the
ZEAL cause for his declining the presi-
lency of the Bee line, rendered him
/ few months since. 1t is also under
stood that, if he will accept, the posi-
ion will be given him on the retire
nent of Mr.. HOxie, or, if he |
% elects, january 1, 1887. |
t is now known definitely that Mr.. |
9oxie's health is badly impaired, and |
hat he is not recuperating as rapidly
Is he and his many friends had hoped,
nd it is said that he has expressed a
determination to retire from active
ervIce unless radical change in his
physical condition should happily oc-
ur. Some doubts are expressed by
'rominent railroad officials as to Capt.
Hayes acceptance of the position.
When he retiredit was with the inten-
ion of leaving railroad work perma-
emily, and the only evidence or like
hood of his having changed his mind
} his recent statement That he might
gain enter upon an active business
areer in that direction. Capt. Hayes
J now in New York. Nothing defn-
je will be known with reference to the
ontemplated changes until after the
eturn os Mr.. Hoxie fion Saratoga,
hitch viii be about September ].
wen if Mr.. Hayes be appointed to
ne position made kacant by Mr..
Ioxie, however, it is conceded that
2. II. Newman will be pro-
loted to the position of
ther general or assistant general
and perhaps elected third
ice president, while Oscar G. Murray
i'll succeed to the position of general
afic manager. 1t is also now stated
lat III. G. Townsend will remain as
eneral passenger and ticket agent,
I'D that either B w. Mccullough or
A Emerson will be made general
stern agent, with the strongest proba-
oility that the Office will fall upon the
tier gentleman, and that Mr.. Nc
ullough will remain in charge of the
fairs of the company in Texas. In
