Mr.. Hubbard Still on Deck.

Someone is evidently trying to run
this end of the Maine Central Railroad
for there has been a report on the
street of late that Mr.. F. B. Hubbard
was going to resign his position at this
station on account of ill-health, and
at the same time he was enjoying his
usual good health with the exception
of slight touch of muscular rheuma-
tism. Yesterday. they had not got
rid of Mr.. Hubbard and so the report
was given some circulation that he
was about to be replaced by Mr.. E. A.
Hall of Portland. Whatever in the
world they thought Mr.. Hall wanted
to come here for is not stated, but Mr..
Hubbard was in the Office as usual,
last night and up to his ears in work.
To the Journal he said he did not
know what the intentions of the man
agement of the Maine Central are as
they do not consult him when changes
are to be made, but he said there was
no truth whatever in the last report
about himself. 1t is more than likely
that the Maine Central will not pro
mote" Mr.. Hall that kind of a way.
Mr.. Hall has a pretty fair kind of a
job. thank you, and while we have no
doubt he would like to live in the
Evergreen City-and we should like
to have him of course-he will prob
ably not come this year. Give US some
thing more rational.
