THE MAINE CENTRAL.
President futile Says No Truth in Change
of President.

Tia Boston Herald published state
ment Wednesday morning that Joseph H.
Nlanley was, 80 it was reported, TO be-
come president of ths Maine Central
road. This report the PRESS yesterday
morning on good authority denied.
Yesterdays Boston Herald has this state
ment from President futile of the Bcs-
ton and Maine:
"All ruinors or statements that q
change in the presidency Ct the Maine
Central railroad is contemplated are
without foundation, in fact and are evil
ience only of fertility of Imagination on
the part of these with whom these
1umors originate. Neither is there any
truth IN the statement that Mr.. Joseph
II. Marley came into the Maine Central
board under any agreement or under
standing made or implied, as to his
occupying, now or in the future, any other
position in She company's organization
than that of director. By the defamation
of one of this Maine Central members of
the board to accept o reelection, a
vacancy WIS created, and, at the annual
AACoUlAS ih Oceoo0i' hAi. 'Aauley WRo
Eelected to I'll it, in the belief that his
presence would give added strength TO
she management.
'sIt is likewise untrue that Mr.. Wilson
was made president because he repre-
sented any individual interest or prefer
ence in the Maine Central or Boston and
Maine ownership. He had been for some
years q member CT the board, and was in
1888 made chairman, and afterward presl-
dent, because Of the belief in his peculiar
fitness for the position by all of the mem
bers Of the board.''
