Vice President NIurrny.

All stories that Oscar G.. Murray is
to leave the Baltimore e. Ohio have had
a quietus put on them in the last few
weeks by his election to the vice pres
idency of all the tributary and re-
Gently acquired properties of that line
with an oversight over the traffic. Last
week he was made the vice president Of
the Cleveland Terminal & Valley, the
Cleveland end of the B. & o. system,
and the reports are that he is to have
the same position with the other tribu-
tary companies.
A prominent traffic official said the
other day that Mr. Murray knows
more about the origin Of freight and
its natural channels than any traffic
man in the country. With the same
knowledge that enabled him to build
up the B. & o. it is expected that he
will revive the tributary lines to the
B. e. o. and make of the whole a divi-
dened earning system.

One of the fat municipal political
plums is the secretaryship OF the Cley
Gas Board, and now that there are con-
seuuent rumors OF changes in its ofi-
GERS. One thing appears to be certain
| that Matt A. Chew, leader of the Re-
publican insurgent trio, who is direct
ly responsible for the present person
mel of the Board, will not be its secre-
tary. He is a deep, designing politi-
clan, however, and it will be strange
If he does not have something to say
about the appointments of the Board.
However, he has denied that he is per-
sonaIly an aspirant, and his denial has
been confirmed by members OF the
Board.
Mr.. Ritz, the minority member OF the
Board, is out of the city, and will not
return until Saturday, SO that the meet
ing for organization will probably not
be held before Saturday night.
It is a safe guess that Mr.. Harry w.
Mcclure will be chosen as President OF
the Board. Mr. Mcclure is out N IN
terviews in which he promises that
there will be a business like adm MIS-
tration. He states also that when ne
was asked to be a candidate, he was
not requested to give any pledge, and
that he is perfectly free to vote for
whom he pleases.
1t looks like the next secretary OF
the Board will be Will Schenk, the
present incumbent, or ex-Councilman
and ex-City Receiver John w. Kindel-
berger. Mr.. Schenk has held the Of
flee for several months, having been
promoted by the old board after the
death of Secretary Godfrey Schul. He
has made most efficient officer. he
has been out of the city, but returned
last night, and his friends are putting
up a stiff fight for his retention.
The principal fight against Schenk
resolves itself into a question of geog-
raphy. His home is in the Seventh
ward, and the claim Is made that that
Republican stronghold is sufficiently
recognized in the appointment of Mr..
Underwood, as superintendent OF the
electric light plant.
The man who covets Mr.. Schenk's
shoes is Mr.. John Kindelberger. He
and his friends are bringing consider
able pressure to bear upon the major
barely possible that the Democratic
members may be in position to cast
the deciding ballot.

INTERESTING RUMORS
Concerning the Depository of the
Water Board, and Matters Con-
nected With IT,

Concerning the Depository OF the
Water Board, and Matters Con-
nected With 1t.
The heroic methods adopted by the
present water board, in enforcing the
collection of delinquent rents, has had
the effect of swelling the bank account
of the board to proportions not reached
heretofore. In this connection there
are very interesting rumors afioat con-
corning the depository of the board.
1t Is said that the money heretofore
deposited In certain very prominent
bank, amounting to something like
100000, has been taken out, and placed
to the credit Of the board in another in
stitution, and 1t is further alleged that
business and politics were involved in
the transaction. This story is denied,
however, by one member of the board,
1t is stated that if the money
were changed, it would be
because more satisfactory arrangement
was made, and a better rate of interest
obtained.

The Little kansyyha.

The Little Kanawha railway is to be
thirty miles long, connecting Parkers-
burg, w. Va, with Palestine. In April
last it went into the hands of a re-
ceiver. But 1t is nevertheless the key
to the situation in one sense. 1t is
very necessary to the West Virginia
Central, as an outlet. but it is again
positively asserted that the little road
has bee sold to parties whose identity
the agent in the matter refuses to dis
close. If the purchasers are In the
Gould interest its sale is stumbling
block in theway of the Pennsylvania
or B. & o. On the other hand, If these
roads or either of them, is behind the
purchase then the West Virginia is
virtually in their hands.

road Company's shops in this city, en-
ploying several hundred men, has
closed down indefinitely because it is
Impossible to secure coal. This is due
to the car famine existing on the Penn

ter the Baltimore Herald says: Fear
that the Goulds may come into posses
sion of the West Virginia Central
might cause the Pennsylvania interests
to forestall them. II was believed that
the Baltimore & Ohio bought the Ohio
River Railroad to prevent the West
Virginia Central or the Wabash from
getting hold of the property. Had the
West Virginia Central gotten 1t, it
could have made other connections
west of the Ohio; had the Wabash Sc
cured it the Pennsylvania would have
had another competitor in the West
Virginia coal fields, over which 1t now
holds supreme sway.
Speculation as to the disposition u
the mines owned by the West Virginia
Central, should the Baltimore & Ohio
buy control of the property, Is also
heard. When the Baltimore & Ohio
bought the Monongahela River rail-
road 1t came into possession OF the coal
mines owned by the little road. These
were turned over to company Or
ganized for the purpose, and eventu-
ally found their way into the Fair
mont Coal Company, which was recent
ly formed. 1t is supposed that the
Baltimore & Ohio would follow SINH
lar policy If it bought the West Vir-
ginia Central and its mines.

West Virginia Central Sale.

The trip of President Loree. of the
Baltimore G. Ohio and party over the
West Virginia Central & Pittsburg
railway set the tongues of all the rail-
way prophets to wagging, and it was
freely stated that the latter road was
about 70 be absorbed by the B. & o.,
and would thus become apart of the
big Pennsylvania system.
General Manager Potter. of the B. &
o., who was In charge of the inspec-
ton trip over the West Virginia Cen
trail, denied. that there was any foun-
dation for the rumor OF absorption Of
the road by the B. & O.. At the Balti-
more Office of President Loree, the idea
that the trip would result in the 3. d
o. purchasing the West Virginia Cen
tralwas secuted. But In otner quar-
tiers it was strongly intimated that the
latter road would ultimately be absorb
ed, II not by the B. G. O., then by the
Pennsylvania, distinction with but
little difference. Opinion in many rail-
ROAD quarters lnelineS TO the view that
the Pennsylvania will do the absorb
ing, as it controls all the connections
Of the West Virginia Central.
There is still another aspect to the
matter in question as q prom men,
Baltimorean stated very recently that
1t had been intimated to him by a cor
respondent Of his. who was in a posi-.
ton to be reliably informed, that q
Goulds had been looking over the West
Virginia Central with a view to pur,
chasing a controlling interest.

1t is now said that the Baltimore &
Ohio intends to make no changes In the
operation of the Ohio River trains until
the spring. While 1t is generally known
that the road eventually will handle the
through service between Pittsburg and
points on the Ohio River line no pro-
vision has been made thus far. 1t was
reported that the officials intended to ar
range for the change at the time card
meeting in Baltimore, but after a con-
sentative examination OF the present
conditions the managers agreed to al
lew the present arrangement with the
Panhandle to continue during the win
ter.
In view OF the future changes to be
made in the Ohio river service the re-
port gained circulation that the Penn
sylvania would abandon those trains
now operating between Pittsburg and
Wheeling and the Ohio river to Park
ersburg.
1t was announced yesterday that
the operation of the Ohio River trains
over the Baltimore & Ohio will have no
effect on the Pennsylvania service be-
tween Pittsburg and Wheeling. The
traffic between these two points is grad
ual.y increasing and the officials deem
it advisable to retain the present SER
vice
When the change is finally arranged
It is said that the fast express trains to
Wheeling will be run on schedules per-
hitting close connections with the Ohio
River. and in this way there will be
little alteration in the present arrange
ment, except that change of cars will
be necessary at this point. If such plans
are carried out the transfer OF the Ohio
River trains to the Baltimore & Ohio
for through service, will greatly i'm
prove the passenger facilities to points
west of Wheeling on the Ohio River.
New passenger equipment was recent
~ received by the Ohio River company
and is now being run on the express
trains. The coaches are of modern
construction, having wide yesuouies,
and in every way being equal to the
standard passenger cars.
