President Cowen Resigned His POSI-
ton, but Is a Director and
Counsel.

New York, May 30.--At the meet
ing Of the board of directors of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railway COM
pany John X. Cowen rendered his
resignation as president OF the COM
pany, to take effect June /, and l.. T..
Lorec, now fourth vice president OF
the Pennsylvania lines west of Pitts
burg, was elected as Mr.. Governs sue
cessor.
Mr.. Loree, it is understood, will APP
point George L.. Potter now general
manager of the Pennsylvania lines
west of Pittsburg, to the same posi-
ton in the Baltimore and Ohio.
The Pennsylvania interests, while
desiring to have a man OF their own
training at the head of the active
management Of the company, have
been most DESTROYS of ayailing OF Mr..
Governs knowledge of Baltimore and
Ohio affairs. Accordingly he has been
elected tc the directory, Mr.. Rea, of
the Pennsylvania, withdrawing there
from, has been elected general
counse., succeeding the New York
firm OF Guthrie, Cravath & Hender-
son, that firm being retained as spe-
cial counsel

self. He had resigned the presidency
and would continue as general coun-
sci of the company. 1t is understood
Mr. Cowen is also to act as consulting
counsel for the Pennsylvania system.

On their right lay a little village of

came the sound of the enemy's trumpet.
The old soldier turned little farther
over on his side and, taking from his
pocket twist of tobacco, cut off piece
with his clasp knife and offered it to the
young man beside him. When the youth
declined it, the regular shook his head
gravely and said:
"You make mistake, Jarvis. Tobac
GO is good for a soldiers nerves, and
when he can't get anything to eat it's a
wonderful sustainer of strength"
Then he put the piece in his own mouth
and chewed with great composure and
satisfaction.

THE DECORATIONS.
The decorations in town presented
a very pretty appearance. Every
body took an interest in Morgantown's
gala day and put their most artistic
hand TO beautify their homes. The
business places displayed their larg-
est flags and all had the sign OF
Welcome" attached. The hotels
were all deliberately festooned with
bunting and flags. Kellar's window
was perhaps the most artistic and
original of all the decorations seen in
town. Two heroines, representing
the North and South. were joined by
a wreath of roses, and clasped hands.
The character representing the North
dressed in pure white, with sash Of
the stars and stripes. The other clad
IN gray, and surrounding the North
and South were four figures OF little
girls, each one bearing an American
flag and wreath Of roses. They
represent, the Philippines, Cuba,
Porto Rico and Hawaii a banner
framed in black was printed. United
to Honor the Gallant Soldiers Of
America. The whole was pleasing
one. indeed.
The Sigma Chi house at the head
Of High street showed good taste in
the way OF decoration, also the Posten
building which was a mass of flags
from the first to the fourth floor.

Colon, Colombia, Nov. Following
are the details of the capture by in
sUrgents Of the steamer Darien. which
was recently purchased by the gov
eminent from the Darien Gold Mining
company at Panama.
The Darien was dispatched by the
Colombian government. toward the end
of october, to convey a rapid-fre gun
and a fair supply Of rifles and ammu-
milton to the forces now stationed at
Aqua Dulce. 1t is rumOTed that she

Aqua DuIce.
The steamer had been ordered to
keep well IN sight OF Chorrera, the
headquarters of the insurgent forces,
on her way to Aqua Dolce In COM
pliance with this order, il appears, the
captain of the Darien steamed too close
to land when in the vicinity of Choir
rera, and the steamer grounded on a
sandbank in sight of the rebel forces,
who soon surrounded her with canoes.
open boats, etc, and took possession
without any fighting whatever.
The rebels on the rise Of the tide
Immediately ordered the captain to
steam to the island of Taboba, about
ten miles south Of Panama, and or ar
irving there they signaled to the officer
commanding the small military con-
tingent there to come on board As
soon as he did so he was made a pris-
Oner and compelled to write an order
for the force under his command to
embark with ali haste with their arms.
In this manner about thirty men and
al the arms and ammunition at Ia
DOba were captured. The steamer sub
sequently sailed for Chorrera.
1t is said the government believes
That the captain of the Darien was in
the pay Of the rebels. The Darien has
since been trying to capture sailing
vessels having government troops on
board, and actually had one in tow
When she was chased by a small
steamer chartered from the canal com
