II. B. Sudlow retires March Is from
the general superintendency Of the
r. l. & P. road. Vice President Hiram
S. Cable succeeding to the general
management of the property. while
Chief Train Dispatcher Hugh p.
Greenough is promoted to the super
intendency aud will have charge of
the operating department. While
Mr.. Sudlow lays down the active
duties which have been his for so
many years. he will continue to be
identified with the railway and also
with the Coal Valley Mining COM
pany, the finances of both Of which
corporations will be in his hands ~
secretary and treasurer, which Office
he has held in addition to the posi-
ton OF superintendent. 1t is pleas
ant thought. therefore. to know that
he is not to sever his relations en-
tirely with the company he has
served so long and with such marked
ability. Coming to the road 16 years
ago. he was for two years assistant
to r. r. Cable when the latter was
superintendent, and for IA years he
has served in that position himself.
Indeed the general management of
the road, as well as of the Coal VAL
ley Mining company, both as to the
finances of the two companies as well
as of the operating department OF
what has become one of the most
prosperous pieces OF railroad prop
erty in the state of Illinois, has been
entirely under his control. And it is
due to the shattered condition of his
health in consequence of the Close
ness with which he has applied.him-
self for so long that he has at last
determined to relinquish q portion OF
his labors. A year ago when his
health failed to such q degree as to
be exceedingly serious. MIR. Sudlow
was on the point of resigning the
SUPPLEMENTARY, but a trip south
proved beneficial to him and he was
induced to remain until now.
