NEWS OF THE RAIL.
The Resignation of }. q. StuDbs-
President Marvel Arrives.

The Resignatton of }. @. stubbs-
President Marvel Arrives.
The unexpected news that J. G. Stubbs,
former General Traffic Manager of the
Southern Pacific, who was recently
elected Vice-President Of the Chicago,
Milwaukee and st. Paul, had resigned
and would return to the Coast, created a
great deal of surprise and speculation
among railroad mon of this city yester-
day. The only cause assigned in the
telegraphic reportfor the change was that
the Southern Pacific had very much
wished that Mr.. Stubbs should return,
and that his former place would be re-
stored to him. 1t is believed that this
latter statement is erroneous. Ii Mr..
Stubbs should be restored to the place
of General Traffic Manager it would
necessitate half dozen changes all
along down the line. This is quite out
OF the question. Ii Mr.. Stubbs is again
to be connected with the Southern Pa
cific it can hardly be in the came capac.
ity as formerly.
It appears much more reasonable to
suppose thai some new arrangement will
created for him. The dispatch speaks of
"his old place as General Manager" He
was not General Manager. That place
is held by A. N. Towne, who is also
Third Vice President OF the road. When
Mr.. Towne was made Vice President it
was supposed by some that Mr.. Stubbs
would be made Genera Manager, but in
stead of that Mr.. Towne continued to
perform the duties Of manager in con-
nection with those of Vice President.
MIR. Towne is o man of unusual
vigor, although he is nearer sixty
years of age than fifty. 1t is
not improbable, however, that
he may now be willing to transfer part
of the work to Mr.. stubbs, who will hold
the position OF manager, as stated in this
dispatch, while MIR. Towne continues as
Third Vice President.
The high standing of Mr.. Stubbs as a
man and as a railroad official, precludes
any euppostion that his leaving tho Mil
waukee line was due to any failure on
his part to accommodate himself TO the
new position.
