b. AND o. CHANGES,
Retirement of Mr.. Anderson, VIII,
Was Garrett's Private Secrefarx

"as UafrettS Private Secretary,
That there should have been a meeting
yesterday in Baltimore of the board of di-
rectors of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company for the purpose of eIectiue a
president OF the corporation, when the road
Is in the hands of receivers, was an enigma
to many persons, but the action was neces-
sary in order to comply with the terms of
the charter, and to keep up the organiza-
ton Of the company
The occasion marked also the close of the
official life Of Mr.. Andrew Anderson who
was for many years the secretary of the
company, and for a greater number of
years previous to his acceptance of that
place was the private secretary of the late
John w. Garrett during nearly the entire
time the latter was the president of the
Baltimore and Ohio.
With the retiring of Mr. Anderson to pri-
vate life it may be considered that the last
INK, so far as men are concerned, that con-
nected the administration of President John
w. Garrett. with the present time has been
severed.
Mr.. c. w. Woolford, who was elected to
succeed Mr.. Anderson as secretary is prob
aply the youngest man In the country to
occupy SO responsible position. He brings
to its duties an experience in railroad mai
ters covering the entire period since he left

the office.
1t Is reported that steps will probably be
taken before very long to determine as
closely as possible the physical condition
OF the Baltimore and Ohio road, with spe-
cial reference to the necessity for the ex-
pend1ture of money upon the property.
1t Is announced that, in accordance with
the wishes of Receiver Murray, General
Manager Greene has directed the placing
Of a large number of sidings to encourage
industries along the line Of the Baltimore
and Ohio. and other sidings already in use
are to be heightened. 1t is stated that
when Mr.. Murray was in the Big Four he
advocated such improvements, and today
the most prolific source of revenue of the
Big Four Is from the business carried over
these tracks.
1t is understood that in the last sixty
days the Baltimore and Ohio has promoted
thirty-three fremen to be engineers. The
company has employed but two engineers
who came to 1t from other roads, as it Is
stated the company prefers to fill vacancies
by promoting its men when they are COM
petent.

Nothing Like Electricity.

From the Portland Oregon1an.
New uses for electricity are constantly
being discovered. A Ash dealer runs O wire
up through his counter and shoves 1t into
q huge block Of fish, and then labels it
electric Ash" Any one curious enough to
touch the fish with his fingers receives a
very perceptible shock. which convinces
him that the fish is correctly labeled.
Yesterday a local dealer In pickles, who
has q dozen varieties ON display in paps
set on top of the different casks. had a
wire run along with little 5ranch Of ccp-
per wire running into each pan. This
charged the pickles so that any one putting
q finger in the pan to sample one received
q smart shock. Just whether this was in
tended to keep people from sampling the
pickles or as joke on those who Intended
TO do 80, 10 not known. but after putting a
nnger near one pan. no one attempted to
touch another. II one. took up the pan or
put his hand on the pickles he recsives no
noticeable shock. but the sensitive end of a
dnger put near pickle received q rather
unpleasant jar.
