 T. W. Hanson, Chief Train Dispatch CT of Superintendent Beauprie's divis. ion. succeeds Mir. Bennett, while F. C. Black succeeds Mir. Hanson. Mir. Beu- nett was appointed Train Master sew eral years ago. to succeed R. l.. Butt, who resigned that position to return to his first love. that of a passenger
 conductor. Some years ago the office of chief train dispatcher of the Mont-
 gomery division was moved from this city to Dothan. That point was just half way between Montgomery and
 waycross and it was more convenient
 to handle all trains on the division from there.
 Mir. Hanson reached Montgomery yesterday morning from Dothan and his headquarters will be in the general office building of the Coast Line at the head of Tallapoosa Street. He is in charge of the office of train master
 now, although his appointment and that of Mir. Bennett do not take effect untii LomOrTOW mOTuIuS.
 Mir. Kirkland has been connected with the old Plant system. and later with the Atlantic Coast Line, for twen- ty-one years.
 His first railroad service was in 1888, when he was employed by the Savan- nah, Florida and Western Railway on the construction work of the South Florida Railway between Sanford and Tampa. He was employed in this de- partment for about two years, and in 1886 was given telegraph operators position. His excellent service caused his promotion to the position of train dispatcher two years later, and in 1894 Mir. Kirkland was appointed to the po- sition of chief train dispatcher of the old Plant System.
 In 1896 MT. Kirkland was appointed to the position of train master. and a further promotion occurred when he received the appointment of superin- tendent of the Thomasville district. This office he has held up to the pres ent time.
 The friends of Conductor Seidel of the Atlantic Coast Line were sorry to hear yesterday of an accident that happened to his little 2-year-old baby. The little fellow fell and broke his right arm Sunday afternoon, but yes- terday he was getting along all right.
