Civil Service No Longer Effect
i've on Santa Fe.
appointment of Mr.. Maegley
Another Breach of Rule.
HUDSON'S SUCCESSOR.
Is Agent Of Kansas City Tran
sit Inspection Bureau.
G. A. KimbalI or A. p. Tanner
Likely to Succeed Maegley.

The appointment of Mr.. F. c. Maeg-
ley, joint agent of the railway transit
inspection bureau at Kansas City, as
assistant general freight agent of the
Santa Fe with headquarters in Topeka,
announced in an Associated Press dis
patch, again skaters the civil service
rule of the Santa Fe railway company.
When the present management took
charge of the Santa F'e affairs it was
announced that future promotions
would be made along civil service lines
Since that time adherence to civil. SER
vice rules has been held out by the
management as an inducement to Off
cials and employees to put forth their
best efforts.
In several cases promotions have
been made in accordance with the civil
service system. A notable instance of
this was the promotion of Mr.. W. J.
Black to be general passenger agent Of
the road, and the recent appointment of
Mr.. ]. z. German to succeed Mr.. F. Q.
Gay as general freight agent may also
be cited. But the company has made
no effort to follow civil service abso-
lutely. The selection of Mr. J. NJ. Barr
as head of the operating department of
the system was in total disregard of
the operating men on the system lines.
The transfer of Mr. w. B. Storey Jr.,
from California to Topeka, which is to
be made, to succeed Mr.. James Dun as
chief engineer of the Santa Fe, is an
other breach of civil service, as Mr..
T. u 9uIQOn mas DGGn MI Ouu ) dS-
sistant for a number of years.
Now comes the appointment of Mr..
Maegley as assistant general freight
agent, in direct conflict with civil ser
vice requirements. In probably no de-
partment of the road is there as much
material to pick from as in the freight
department. Notwithstanding this an
outside man is named to succeed Mr..
Hudson.
The officials and employees of the San
ia Fe will probably in the future hear
the civil service promises of the COM
pany with conSiderab BILE doubt.

WANT WESTERN LEAGUERs
Brooklyn Will Get Pitcher Waddell-
Fatten Wanted by Several
Mauapers

Pitcher Waddell, the star of the
league, will go back to Louisville, al
though it is understood that he will
eventually go to Brooklyn, Hanlon
having purchased him from Barney
Dreyfuss. Third Baseman Geier, of the
ST. Paul club will probably go to Gin
cinnati. John T. Brush was also after
Right Fielder Waldron, of the Milwau-
kee club, but later dropped the deal.
expecting to draft him for $500 instead
of paying q special price for him.
Pitcher Reidy, of the Brewers, will
likely be drafted by Brooklyn, as Tom
Daily has requested Hanlon to try him.
Jay Andrews, of Minneapolis is wanted
by New York, but says he will quit
the diamond next year. Jimmy Man
ming may lose Pitcher Patten, as two or
three big league clubs are after the
left-hander. Chicago had a chance at
him this summer
The indianapolis club has fine pitch
ers in Scott and Newton, but Cincin-
natl has first claim on them and will
probably try them in the spring and
return the two pitchers to the Hoos-
iers later on. Scott has pitched splen-
did ball since he rounded into form and
to many seems a better man than Wad-
dell. He has the speed and curves and
a good head Newton was let out by
the Louisville club without a trial and
proved one of the best in the Western
league. Another year in the Western

ABOUT MR.. MAEGLEY.
And Also Rumor of Kimbau or Tan
ner as His Successor.

Kansas City, Sept. 12.-Mr. F. G..
MaegIey has been the Kansas City rep
resentative of the various freight asso-
Citations for the past fourteen years. As
joint agent of the transit inspection bu-
reau, which includes all the trans Mis-
souri, lines, he has been thrown in con-
tact with the officials of the various
lines, among whom ne is deservedly
popular. His management of the af-
fairs of the various lines that have come
under his Jurisdiction has been SO uni
versally fair that there has long been
a rumor that he would eventually be
rendered a position commensurate with
his deserts-in this connection there is
little surprise that the Santa Fe recog-
nized his ability and worth.
Talk of Mr.. Maegley's successor has
already commenced. There are two
prominent applicants for the position.
G. A Kimball, for many years assist
ant general freight agent for the Rock
Island. and A P Tanner, lately general
freight agent for the Chicago Midland
Both gentlemen are thorough traffic
men, and either would fill the position
with credit; there are other applicants,
but their names have not been divulg-
ed. Mr.. Kimbau will doubtless have
the Endorsement of many of the lines in
the trans Missouri country, among
which he is very popular. Mr.. Tanner
has already found some strong indOrse-
ments and the choice between the two
gentlemen will be hard to predict.

Railroad Held Accountable For Death
of Brakeman Mahoney.

A suit for $4,000 damages against the
Leavenworth, Topeka & Southwestern
Railway company. has been brought to
the United States circuit court on a
transcript from the district court of
LeavenwOrth county.
The plaintiffs in the action are Cor
nelius MahOney and his wife, Gather
inc. of Leavenworth- They are the par
ents OF Daniel Mahoney, who was ac-
cidentally killed while employed as a
brakeman on the road in February,
1898.
The accident happened while Ma
honey was assisting with some switch
ing in the Leavenworth yards. It is al
legged in the petition that the track was
allowed to remain muddy and slippery
for two weeks at a time, and on the
sidetrack where the switching was be-
ing done was a split rail, pieces of
which stuck out for several inches on
either side of the rail 1t is alleged
that Mahoney tripped over these
splinters and on account of the bad
condition of the track he could not re
cover his footing before a car was
backed down on him. His legs were
nearly severed from his body and he
died about six hours-after the accident
His parents now ask $4,000 damages
from the railroad for causing his death.
