The Santa Fee Board.

At the annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa
Fe railroad company held in Topeka last
Thursday, George c. Magoun, chairman of
the old beard of directors, received 65S, S6S
votes out of total cast of 664, 94S
The only change in the board of directors
was that George r. Peck of Topeka, gen.
eral solicitor, was elected to succeed E. H.
Abbott of Cambridge, Mass. The directory
is now composed of the following gentle
men:
George c. Magoun, New York; A. Man
vel, Chicago; Thomas Barring, New York
William Libbey, New York; ]. j. McCook,
New York; d. P. Cheney, Boston; o. w.
Peabody, Boston; Warren Sawyer, Boston
Alden Spear. Boston; George r. Peck. To-
peka; C. X Holiday, Topeka; E. 8. Pur-
cell. Manhattan, and L. Severy, Emporia.
That there was little interest in this
meeting is shown by the fact that the at
tendance of Eastern directors and stock
holders was unusually small. The only
Eastern people present are l.. G. Deming of
Bostol George c. Magoun of New York,
A.SManvel of Chicago William Libbey of
New York. Alden Speare of Boston, and
sJaries Walker, Jr., of the Boston Office,
Who represented the proxies voting for
chairman MagCun.
The new board of directors met immedi-
ately after the adjournment of the stock
holders meeting and reelected all the old
officers of the company.

FOR LIBEL.
The Proprietor and Editor ofthe Pittsburg
Post Bound Over on Complaint
of Matt Quay.

PITTsBURG, Pa, Oct. 31.-The hearing in
Senator QuayS criminal libel suit against
Albert ]. Barr, president, and james Mills,
editor Of the Pittsburg Post, for the publ
cation of the Bardsley certificate Of
deposit and the editorial comments
thereon, was held before Alder
man McNIasters this afternoon.
Little of Importance was developed at the
hearing There were goodly number of
pointed and interesting questions bearing
upon the publication which brought about
the suit, but few We're answered. In each
case the attorneys for Senator
Quay objected to what was
termed irrelevant and political
questions. After being sworn Senator
Quay pronounced the statement false in
every particular. In the cross-eXamination
he denied having received SSSS6 from John
Bardsley; said there was no consideration
between Bardsley and himself, had no bust
ness transaction with Barksley, received
the certificate from David Martin of Phila-
delphia and that the certificate was given
him by the latter in exchange for a note.
Then followed a number of questions
about the certificate and how he came to
get it, all of which has been published.
Several other questions were put to the
witness, but they We're objected to by
plaintiffs counsel and sustained by the al
dernan. The alderman then rendered his
decision, holding the defendants for trial at
the December term of court in $1,000 bail
each.

The Ticket Agents Discharge.

A special dispatch to the Democrat
from Cleveland, Ohio, under date of Octo-
Der 90, says:
A month ago the Lake. Shore and Michi-
gan Southern road discharged twenty
of its most prominent ticket agents
copied commissions from foreign roads
in the face of positive orders to the
contrary. Among the agents dismissed for
this cause was NJ. G. Carrel, ticket agent
at the union depot Cleveland, Ohio, and
secretary of the International association
of ticket agents. The prominent position
of MIR. Carrel gave additional importance
to the action of the Lake Shore road. Pres
ident Newell of the Lake Shore stated that
he was in possession of information secured
from Western roads that these men had
asked for or received commissions. The
matter created sensation in passenger Cir
cles throughput the country, and the great
est iuteresT has been manifested to learn
what road betrayed the confidence of the
ticket agents. The Station Agent tonight
\ furniSh6s the following from the advance
kshesa1eof its Forthcoming issue, which will
bf6f interest TO every railroad man in the
traffic departments as having an important
bearing on the ticket commission question: ;
1.-The truth has come out at last. Slnc9
the first news of the discharge of the ticket
agents of the Lake Shore road on the ground
of having asked for and accepted commits
sions the station agent has left no stone un-
turned to discover the true inwardness of
the case and at once institute an investiga-
ton that resulted step by step in placings
the guilt upon one road almost beyond the
possibility of doubt. As soon as the in
formation was received of the action of the
Lake Shore one of the prominent agents
who had been relieved sent personal letter,
to all roads entering in Chicago, requiring
that they return to him statements of ticlakts
sales that he had sent them prior to April
of the present year. All the roads complied
with this request with the exception of the
Burlington, General Passenger Agent
Eustis stating that all these statements hadf
been destroyed. The Lake Shore officials
declare they have in their possession posi-
tive evidence that their agents have asked
commissions of Western roads since the
last instructions to the contrary wefc'
issued. The only inference, therefore. is
ments at the request of the agents is the
one that let them go out of its possession,s
and so betrayed the men whose confidence
it has solicited, and whom it was bound by
the most solemn obligations to protect.
''But another, and stronger piece of evil
dence has been unearthed BY the station
agent. Among the Lake Shore agents dis
charged for accepting commissions was D.
S. Segner, agent at Hanover, Mich. tbs
is not a coupon station. and hence it is Not
often that the agent there has an oppor-
tunity to ask for or receive commissions
Some time since Mr.. Segner had party
