W. j. Jennings. general freight and
passenger agent of the Seattle, Lake
Shore & Estern railroad, has resigned on
account of ill-health. and A. D. Scroggy,
contracting freight agent for the Cana
dian Pacific railway, has accepted the
offer of the position. Mr. Scrosgy tele-
graphed his resignation to the traffic de-
partment yesterday: but he has not yet
received reply. AS soon as he can
leave his present position he will enter
service for the Lake Shore. Mr.. Jen-
nings' resignation was effective March l.
Mr.. Scroggy is well known in Seattle
having made his hUrne here first in the
employ of the Union Pacific road as
travelling freight agent and later with
the Canadian Pacific. The receivers of
the Lake Shore road are happy in having
secured so efficient an official to succeed
Mr. Jennings. The latter has not yet
given out what ne intends doing In the
future. but 1t is understood mis- plans
are we'll formulated and that his private
interests will keep him busy for some
tins.
Mr.. Scroggy was born November %,
iSsS. and for sixteen years has been a
railroad man. He started while a lad as
an operator on the Pemberton Highs
town railroad in New Jersey. and then
was employed as brakeman on a freight
train OF the New Jersey Southern road
running between Pemberton and Sandy
Hook. Subsequently he became a con-
duetor. and the day he was Il years old
met with an accident by which he lost
his left leg. Recovering. he was APP
pointed agent for the Pennsylvania rail-
say at Birmingham. y. j.. and remained
there until the close of the Centennial.
lie then went to Philadelphia and en-
tered the employ OF John wanamaker at
Thirteenth and Market streets. as an as
sistant cashier. He remained there until
the early part of 1878. when he left for
California. and reaching Omaha on his
way West. remained there for several
months as an operator for the Union Pa
cIfe. He finally arrived in California I'm
the latter part OF 1878 and was appointed
deputy collector OF internal revenue for
the First district of that state.
In 1850 Mr. Scroggy went 10 Tyler. Tex,
and entered the employ of the Cotton
Felt route. filing the position of clerk,
local agent. travelling auditor. travelling
agent and chief clerk OF the general
freight and passenger Office respective
ly. In isSs he returned TO California and
filled various positions with the Southern
Pacific until 1857. when he went into
business with his brother-in-law in San
Francisco. He remained there untii jan
uary /, lS'o. ~hen he arrived In Portland
and entered the service Of the Union Pa
ellie. being assigned 30 duty In the Puget
sound department. as travelling freight
agent.
Since his arrival on the Sound his rec
ora Is well known. and he has the good
VIII of all his fellow railroad men and
numerous friends outside Of the service
His residence IN Seattle renders him es-
peciaily well fitted for the new position
which he Is about TO occupy.

cHIcKERING & SONS PIANOS.


A Great Testimonial From the Most
Eminent kiving Pianist.
1.-THE Chickering piano rightfully stands
alone. for on this earth 1t is not only
unsurpassed but unequalled. can give
logical and esthetic proofs of my asser-
ton. When one asks: Why do these
unique manufacturers attain perfection?
the answer is: Because they have en-
deavored to secure (as no others have
done). and have succeeded In securing
the nearest possible approach to the
tone of nature. or to what is known as
the human voice: the Chickering piano
sings like a lovely voice This is no COM
pliment but the expression of my inner
most conviction.
VLADIMIR DE PACHMAN."
Messrs. chickering g. Sons have just
issued the following regarding their ccle-
brated piano:
I'VE can truly say that in all our ex-
perience Of over 20 years. we have never
manufactured piano equal to the Chick
ering of 1894.
when 1t is considered that during this
time our piano has received i29 first med
ais and awards. including the imperial
cross of the Legion of Honor and first
gold medal. Crystal Palace, first prize
medal the first and greatest award at
the Worlds Columbian Exposition, ana
has been the constant and invariable
choice OF thousands OF musicians, both
professional and amateur. the force of
the above statement becomes apparent.
"CHICKERING & SONS"
A large shipment of these matchless
pianos will be opened and put on exhibi-
ton this week by D. S. Johnston. In the
New York block. Professional musicians,
amateurs and the public are invited to
examine them.
