known to friends that General Hayes has gone
beyond prudence and has seriously taxed his
resources TO aid others. His generosity has been
almost unlimited and after all these years OF
retirement the demands seem TO be as constant as
when he was the Chief Executive. Every mall
is laden with petitions, requests, demands, some
worthy others impertinent, and the labor OF reply
ing is serious one. l am speaking merely OF
correspondents. Besides these are the daily VS.

liberal donations for charitable and other pubic

ORDERED TO DISCHARGE ITS AGENTS

Chicago, sept. 25 speciaD 1.-The Board of Ruling has
not given UP hopes Of making the boycott elective.
Dispatches received in Chicago to-day say that Prcsi-
dent Newell Of the Lake Shore has been ordered by
the Board TO discharge the agents Of his road at the
Union Depot in Cleveland, in sclvIia, clyde Fremont
Erie and Sandusky. This order was, 1t is reported,
issued on the strength of information from some line
out of Chicago which through an understanding or
arrangement with the Board had induced these agents
10 accept commissions and then betrayed them. Inc
matter created great deal of talk today But the
order may prove Intellectual as Others like II sent
10 the Baltimore and Ohio and west shore lines some
time AGO The officials Of those roads would not
obey them unless the board first divulgcd the flames
If lis informants This not done In the present
ease however somebody will be exposed. The gen
e,l Messenger officials well the agents OF Eastern
lines insist on knowing what roads are In COLLISION
with the Board.
