in this city is still kept mystery. Some
months ago ]. g. Glazier resign ned and
A. A. Wilson, Of tho superintendents
office at Grafton, came to al! the place,
but still they said be was not appointed
chief clerk. There has been another
change. Charles Criswell, formerly OF
the cashiers Office here, has taken Mr..
Wilson's place, and the latter gentle
man now is at work in the cashiers
office. Why the thing is kept on the
quiet is causing talk among the rail-
readers, and the cause is not altogether
plain. The position is one OF the great
est responsibility among railroad offices.
The B. g. o. yard Office is sight.
Yesterday two colored men went TO
work on the building, and with white
wash brushes began 10 smear the build
ing with paint (?). 1t is safe to say
that never a color like il was seen in
this locality. Nobody about there could
name the color, but pink brindle about
sizes it up. The worst part of 1t is that
the people about are made to look like
the color OF the building from the re-
Election. To say that the railroaders
are we'll pleased would be putting it far
from straight.
As the REGISTER mentioned. Hallock
Bros. have the contract for building the
immense new retaining wall for the

contractors will put large force OF men

necessary to have the new wall built
that track can be placed for the trains
before much active work can De done on
the fne new depot TO be built.

The robbers OF the eight cars OF the

months ago, is none other than that
Bellaire gang, which was mention ned
yesterday in the REGISTER. Detective
John Shorts was after them, but was

1t must not be regarded that the gang
is free yet as far as the b. 81 o. is con-
cerned.

There is something before the agents
of importance, and the REGISTER will
soon be able 10 make 1t public.
