H | : DAVIDSON GOES TO ST , PAUL Prominent Omaha Man About to Make'a ' Change of Base. GETS A CALL FROM THE TWIN CITY ROADS 1VIII llccoinc Si'crisJiiry < if Tholr Local I'aHHonuer ANNOuliitlou l > y Uiiaiil- . IIIOIIH Choice ut llic Twenty- Two LlnuM. ST. PAUL , Feb. 20. ( Special Telegram. ) Colin R. Davidson of Omaha has received the unanimous endorsement of the passenger departments of twenty-two railroads , com posing the local passenger association of St. Paul and Minneapolis , for the vacant posi tion of local secretary. They have recom mended his name to the Western Passenger association , which will formally pass on the matter this afternoon In Chicago. As the roads here without a single exception have votcJ In favor of Mr. Davidson's selection It Is thought unlikely that the general as sociation will turn the appointment down. He was selected over three other candi dates. J. H. JlcHrido , special flgent of the West ern Passenger association , has been filling the place of local secretary since the resig nation of C. 13. Klnnan some time ago. The latter waa local secretary for five years. The position Is a- most important one , the local secretary absolutely governing the affairs of HID twenty-two railroads center ing hero and at Minneapolis. The local secretary Is In charge of general ofllces , and to assist him hao a force of clerks and stenographers. II There was ccnslderable surprise among the local passfi.Eer men In Omaha this morning when It became known that C. H. Davidson was to go to St. Paul. Some days ago The Ilco announced In its railroad column that ho would probably re-enter the railroad Eorvlco before long , hut the report was receive ; ! with much Incredulity. When shown the telegram ho admitted that It was correct , Mr. Davidson Is a member ot the Board of K-ducatlon from the Ninth ward and last fall was n candidate' for the republican councllmanlc nomination. He wna connected with the Burlington's passenger department In this city far eighteen years , resigning his position of chief clerk about a year ago. lieforo coming to Omaha ho wag connected with the fieight department ot the Omaha road ut St. Paul , Ho Is one of tbo best known men among the .local railroaders and among local politicians.

The St. Joseph & Grand Island railroad will bo reorganized next Monday and In the future will be known aa the St. Joseph & Grand Island railway , the only change occurring In the last word of the name. The road will be entirely freed from the Union Pacific and will bo operated ns a separate system. The meeting of the directors of the road will bo held in this city Monday and the reorganization plan will bacomo effective March 1. The announcement of the reorganization of the St. Joseph & Grand Island was received at the headquarters of the Union Pacific , the parent road , with no especial Interest , as the event had been anticipated far some time. The road Is 231.00 miles In length , extend ing from St. Joseph , 'Mo. ' , to Grand Island , Neb. H has had Its own officers since the summer of 1891 , when the headquarters of the road were removed from this city to St. Joseph. The receivers were the same as these for the Union Pacific. A scheme of reorganization was perfected several months ago , the members of the reorgan ization committee being mostly Union Pacific officials and receivers. The reorganization will have no effect on Omaha or on the Union Pacific rail way. Though many prominent railroaders nro interested In both roads , It Is announced that the St. Joseph & Grand Island railway will bo operated absolutely independently of the Union Pacific.

Another reduction of freight rates by the Cumberland Gap Dis patch line , operating over the Norfolk & Western railroad , will become effective on Monday. This reduction la In class rates from lialt'imoro to Nashville and Memphis , Tcnn. The cut varies from 1C cents on flfbt- class to 3 cents on fourth-class. Similar reduction Is also made by thn Seaboard Air line. Proportionate cuts In commodity rates are also proposed. The Southern railway , which met the cut of the Cumberland Gap Dispatch line made may not bo BO full as ho7ishes , but if ho is wise ho will nogloot his coffers awhile nnd attend to his cough , A man's coffers may bo so soouro that no ono can take them away from him. But a little cough has taken many a man away from his coffers. The "slight cough " is somewhat like the small pebble that lies on the mountain side , and appears utterly insignificant. A flutteringbird , perhaps , starts the pebble rolling , nnd the rolling pebble begets nn avalanche that buries a town. Many fatal diseases begin with a slight cough. But any cough , taken in time , can bo cured by the use of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. More particulars about 1'cctoral In Ayer'j CurebooL- , Scut free , J , C. Aycr Co. , Lowell , Mass. last Monday to Cincinnati , Louisville nnd , East St. Louis , will not meet Monday's cut for the present. Efforts were made , "without success , during the last week to adjust the I trouble and the matter was brought before j the managers of the Joint Traffic assocla lion with this object In view. 1 As the Norfolk & Western Is not a mem her of the association It was proposed tha a freight line bo designated to meet the cut but no action was taken. Pressure is being brought to bear to adjust the differences without provoking a rate war. Should 4t be determined to designate , a. route to meei the reduced rates the Continental and Central tral States Dispatch lines operating over the Qaltlmoro & Ohio railroad would likely be selected for this purpose. Mr. Thomas W Nooiian , general manager of these lines , was In rtaltimore during the week , conferring with Traffic Manager Wight of the Balti more & Oh'Io. It is contended by the Nor folk & Western that Its action was prompted by secret cutting of rates on the part of its competitors , which prevented It from secur ing its proportion of business. tJi < - IIouUliiK Valley- NEW YORK , Fob. 20.
