Among the railway management ol
the country J. Is. Mulhken was rccog-
n.Zed among the first administrators ol
OF AZ age III winch administrative talent
is one OF the chief desderata above
all others. In his contract with men
on the one hand and IN the control OF
natures forces ou the other Mr.. Nulll-
ken was master. He possessed GER
tam am Inability ot temper. natural
sense OF justice and tact for business
intercourse that gave nm acceptance
among men; he possessed Qulckness
OF Wit and a depth OF wisdom that gave
him the mastery of all situations. Ihe
result has been that he was not only
railway manager, but, IN a sense, rall-
way creator. The people OF Grand
Rapids and of Western Michigan Will
regret profoundly the occurrence which
VIII bc viewed IN the light OF a serious
loss 10 the whole State, and especially
TO that portion of 1t OF which Grand
Rapids is the metropolis.

The announcement comes that NT.
Mulliken's successor viii be Charles NJ.
Hcaid, formerly of the Pennsylvania
and Reading railroad. Mr.. Hoald IS
known II Eastern railroad circles as
man wholly capable of carrying the
/ largest possibilities, and there IS no
feeling OF fear that the interests VIII
suffer which Mr.. Mulliken lays down
ana M Heald has taken up. Mr..
Hcald viii be in Michigan the latter
part of this week, TO look over the mat
tcr- which are to engage him, and to
study the roads and officials connected
with his management. Few changes
are expected to occur in the staffS.
