LEvEY is SLATED.
To Get Promotion at the Hands of the
Burlinuton,

Burlington.
Chicago, April 12.-George B. Har
ris, president of the c., B. & @. rail
road, admitted last evening that the
new representative of the Burlington
lines in st. Louis will undoubtedly be
Charles M. Levey, at present in charge
throughout Iowa. The st. Louis va
cancy was caused by the election of
the former incumbent, Howard Elliott,
as second vice-president of the road.
1t was known that Mr.. Levey was
slated for the st. Louis position at the
time of the resignation of General Man
ager Brown. 1t was proposed that
Howard Elliott should succeed Brown
and Levey should take Elliott's place.
But Mr. Elliott declined the offer and
so the changes were not made.
Mr.. Levey is one of the best manag-
ing officers on the Burlington system.
He has long been considered in the
line of promotion on merit. He is a
shrewd, and logical organizer and di-
rector Of affairs and will prove an ex-
cellent man for the ST. Louis Office
He has been connected with the road a
long time, and his appointment to the
place would be merited promotion for
him.
For several years previous to 1892
Mr. Levy was general superintendent
Of the K. line and the G.. B. & K. c.,
md made his headquarters at Keokuk.
J. was this position that he left to as.
100 the duties connected with his
ent place.
