NEW GENERAL MANAGER.

The Career of MIR. Clark Who Succeeds Mr..
Russeli-An Up- o-date Railroader.
Those who have watched the erratic
course of E. G. Russell since he
became associated with the Lacka-
wanna something over year ago,
are not surprised at his resignation
which was handed in last week, in
accordance with request from
headquarters. He knows now what
it is to be ''out of job, and if ever
he is in a position to discharge men,
he may show more sympathy than
he has in the past.
Of course it was to be expected that
the new management of the Lacka-
wanna would make some changes, but
even before Mr.. Russell had obtained
foot-hold he began to discharge
faithful employees, until the employ
ees became demoralized not knowing
whose turn would come next. After
time he was promoted from superin-
tendent of the Morris & Essex Divis-
ion to be General Manager of the road,
and Raymond Dupuy became his
successor. In short time the men
learned to trust Mr.. Dupuy, for he
had the best interests OF his company
at heart and realized that his men
should be treated fairly. He took his
stand against Mr.. Russell and would
not act as headsman for the former,
SO resigned his position and at pre-
sent is superintendent Of ST. Joseph
& Grand Island, road with mileage
almost as great as the Lackawanna.
Mr.. Dupuy was followed by Mr..
Ketcham, who already has secured
the respect and confidence Of the en-
ployees, who know that he is tho
rough railroad man.
When Mr.. Clarke, the new Gen.
Manager was made superintendent of
the Scranton division of the Lacka-
wanna, those who knew him and the
work he had done on previous roads,
and who had also followed Mr.. Rus
sci IS course, surmised that there would
be new Gen. Manager before many
moons.
Mr.. Clark, who has succeeded Mr..
Russell, entered the service of the
Lackawanna road August 10 last, sue
ceeding Division Superintendent A. G.
Falesbury at Scranton. Mr.. Clark was
general SUPERINTENDENT of the Iowa
Central before coming to the Della

ware, Lackawanna and Western. He
was born at Connersville, Ind. in 1849.
He entered the railroad service in 1866
as telegraph operator and clerk on
the Cincinnati and Indianapolis
railway. In 1868 he was made chief
train dispatcher. and later became
superintendent Of telegraph of the
St. Paul and Sioux City railroad. In
1878 he was appointed train dispatcher
of the Mobile and Ohio road and of the
G. and o. In 1881 he became assistant
superintendent of the Chicago, ST.
Paul, Minneapolis and Omaha road.
In June of that year he took up the
position of assistant superintendent of
the Minneapolis and st. Louis railroad,
and was promoted to general superin-
tendent of the Iowa Central.
"Mr. Clark is a very energetic and up
to-date railroad man, " said President
Truesdale to reporter. Although

| The distance of 500 it. was made in 46
seconds from time of start until hose
was connected and in exactly one
minute water was thrown. This was
remarkably quick time when 1t is
remembered that the carriage was
pulled by hand.

while water was thrown in l minute

gave the next exhibition and made
a good showing. The start, run and
connections were made from the same
point as Union Hose; connection was
made in Az seconds, and water was
turned on IN 1 minute and II seconds.
The exhibition given by independent
Chemical Engine Company of Morris
town interested the spectators proba-
bly, more than any of the other tests
because it showed the company fight
ing the element for which fire COM
panies were organized. A shed had
been erected opposite the reviewing
stand filled with excelsior, shavings,
boxes and barrels all literally covered
with kerosene and gasoline. As soon as
contents and sides were ignited and
the flames and dense smoke hid the
structure from view an alarm was
turned in when the gray team of the
Independents came tearing down the
avenue from the same point as the
previous starts were made and in the
remarkably short time of l minute
40 seconds, the flames were smothered !;
the time would have been even
better but for bursted hose, which
caused a delay of several seconds.

APPEAL TO DEMOCRATS.
Chairman Wallace Urges Them to
Vote for Convention.
Richmond, Va, May 10, 1900.

To the Democratic Voters of Richmond:
l urge the Democrats of Richmond city
to go to the polls next Thursday ana
vote for the Constitutional Convention.
A month ago we were divided as to the
advisabiity= of a new Constitution; to-day
we are happily united, for the Democratic
State Convention a t Norfolk, deliberately
and after mature and patient considera-
ton, endorsed the action of the Legisia-
ture in submitting the question to the
Deople. So that now we stand upon the
broad, honest platform Of our party; we
do not hesitate to say: This is a Demo-
cratic measure, proposed by Democrats
and to be executed by Democrats.
There are several reasons why the call
ing of a convention and the framing OF
a new Constitution are both eXDedient
and urgent:
/. 1t means the government of Virginia
by the white people of the State, the de-
cIared policy of our party being that no
white man shall be disfranchised-
.. 1t means economy in the admins
tration of public affairs.
3. Bv the more equal adjustment of
taxation, it means lower tax rate.
i. It means the extension and improve
ment of the public school system, white
schools being supported by white tax
PAYERS. and negro schools by negro tax
payers. ,-,,. r,ou
no longer have imposed upon It utteri!
trivial legislation
6 It means local self-government IN
the counties and cities, with more eAteho-
ed powers to the individual citizen.
These are but some of the things to be
confidently expected.
Ter us throw aside that abomlnable
M tf,hworis. the Underwood Constitution,
wi,icf, was forced upon us when the pest
Of. our people were disfranchised, by
horde of the ignorant and corrupt OF ooth
races. which was fashioned after North
.,n ;deas and does not reflect Nne senti-
ment Of Virginia.
IN place of it. let us adopt Constltu-
tion of our own making, suited to our
naeds and which will serve as a guide to
other peoples. The Virginian lion has TOO
I'm ma saueraded IN the ass skin.
Tat us make it possible for the white
mon of Virginia to divide on economic
lines as they did in the good old days OF
CIay and Hunter.
Thasa who fear a radical convention
should not forget that our new constltu-
tion will be referred to the people, and
viii not become the law of the State until
the people have approved it.
ITnnns the ballot, one inch below the
srast of the ticket. will be printed the
| cords ssFor Constitutional Convention. =
"a careful not to erase that lire. and
vo,,r ballot VIII be counted for the cor
,,s,,tion. Respectfully

EVIDENCE AGAINST POWERS
Seems Rather Shadowy on Which 10 Expect
Conviction for Murder.

Georgetown, Ky. July 1G.-In the
trial of former Secretary of State
Caleb Powers, charged with being ac-
cessory to the Goebel murder. today,
a letter alleged to be signed by Caleb
Powers was introduced in which this
expression appears: Il have had a
hard time getting Taylor and others to
start. but they are all right now and
this thing will soon end"
kilograms sent from Barbourville
Powers home, We're put in evidence and
identified by the manager of the Bar
louisville telegraph office. The first
kilograms read We're from Powers t.
the various captains alleged to have
been charged with getting up the eX-
cursion of Mountain men to Frankfort.
Most Of them read How many can
you insure from your county? Wire
Immediately. (Signed G. Powers"
The defence filed a formal objection
to their competency as evidence. The
witness, Mrs. Anderson, declares some
one had tempered with many of the
messages on file in her office for Jan
uary and February.
Col. Jack Shinn, who was with GOebel
when the shooting occurred, said the first
shot seemed to come from window in
the secretary of states office. The 9TH
ers We're muffied and the witness could
not tell where they came from. He said
he saw window in Powers office slight
ly raised. Shinn identified Goebel $
clothes. Cross-examination did not re-
veal anything new.
Finley Anderson was then put on the
stand. but did not conclude his testi-
mOny.
