COL. RUSSELL WAS
HERE YESTERDAY
SPENT TUESDAY WITH FRIENDS
IN COLJMBUS-COL. RUS
SELL WAS ACCOMPAN-
led By HIS WIFE.
While Here He Announced the Pro-
motion ofaMr. Hatcher to the
Superintendency OF South
ern In Mississippi.

Col. E. L. Russell, yice-preSident
of the Mobile & Ohio Railroad and
the Southern Railway in Mississippi,
spent yesterday in the city. Colonel
Russell was accompanied by his wife,
and while here they were the guests
of Mrs S. B. Huson, who is related.
to Mrs. Russell.
Colonel Russell was on the streets;
yesterday morning, and received the
most cordial greetings from his nu-
merous friends here. He was seen
by a Dispatch reporter, and when
asked for news gave out the impor-
tant and pleasing announcement that
Mr.. HI. Hatcher had been appointed
superintendent of the Southern Rail-
way in Mississippi, the appointment
becoming effective next Friday, jan
uary 1st. Mr.. Hatcher has been as
sistant superintendent of the South
ern Railway in Mississippi ever since
two years ago, and in reward for
faithful and efficient service is to-
be made superintendent, with full
control over the line Mr. Hatcher
is one of the most popular as well
as one of the most competent and
conscientious railway officials who
ever had headquarters in Columbus,
and has hundreds of friends here
who congratulate him upon his well
deserved promotion.

Russell said that Mr.. Hatcher would
now have full authority to adjudi-
cate all differences arising between
the road and its patrons, who would
not be forced to undergo the delay
incurred in referring these matters
to the Mobile Office, which was nee
essaFy under the old regime. During
the conversation one of the gentle
men present took occasion to declare.
that Mr. Hatcher, although a very
young mansnseemed to have made a
most excellent Official and the COLI
onel contends that this is due to the
efficient training which the new SUI,
perintenden tzoreceived in his Office
Before coming to Columbus, Mr.
Hatcher had for several years been
chief clerk in Col. Russel1's office,
and the colonel is naturally proud
of his success.
Col. Russell is now in full and
complete charge of the Southern in
Mississippi. AF'or the past two years
he has been in charge of the, operat-
ing department, but the accounts
were kept in Washington, and all
money send there After the first
of Januarya however, Col. Russell
will be in full charge of every de-
partment, and all reports will be
made to the Mobile Office, where re-
mittanees will also be sent.
When Col. Russell was given the
management of the Southern in Mis-
sissippi two years ago, the change
was in the nature of an experiment,
and his authority was somewhat linn
tied, but he has been faithful over
a few things, and President Finlay,
having already bestowed upon him
the encomium, .twell done, thou good
and faithful servant" has decided to
make him ruler over many things.

trades, having no steady employment.
but being a painter by trade. The
former is twenty-five years of age
and the latter thirty.
DR.. Richardson vas shot down in
front of his store on Thursday night.
Some say he was killed in a street
duel and others that 1t was a cold
xblooded assassination. There had
been hard feelings for some time be-
tween the Edwards brothers and DR..
Richardson and his father, growing
out of the prosecution OF the former
by the latter for retailing liquor with
out license. The trial has not yet
been set.

own. This alleged crime was committed
in the state of Wyoming the money order
being sent from Denver. Bennett claims
the money was sent to him by his partner,
