Since the heavy rain of the first of the week the Baltimore and Ohio has had a lot of trouble with slips on the narrows, below McMechen, and a steam shovel had to be put to work to clear the track. The hill came down badly in half a dozen places, and the aggregate j amount of earth and rock to be moved j was large. The track is now clear and in good shape, hut the hillside is in a very treacherous condition, and the next rain will inevitably bring down more stuff. TO THE PEOPLE OK WHEELING AND VICINITY.

T. McCabe the NV^Vreight Manager of Pennsylvania Line*. Mr. D. T. McCabe has been promoted from' the position of general freight agent of the Pennsylvania southwest svstem to that of freight traffic man ager of the Pennsylvania line. I nw is interesting to Wheeling people front the fact that Mr. McCabe formerly re sided here, and has many Wheeling friends. He is a younger brother of Robert A. McCabe, Esq., and a son of the late Rev. Dr. James L. McCabe. Dr McCabe, it will be remembered, was the * founder of St. Johns Episcopal parish, below the creek. The Colum bus Dispatch contains an interesting sketch of Mr. McCabe, from which the following is taken: Daniel Trigg McCabe was born No vember 25. 1849, at Abingdon. Va.. and came to Columbus from Baltimore in July, 1870. just before attaining his ma jority. He entered the auditing depart ment of the Pan-Handle under Captain S. F. Scull, the auditor of the road, father of C. O. Scull, general passenger agent of the Baltimore and Ohio. In the fall of the same year he was trans ferred to the general freight office as claim clerk, and the next year went to Pittsburg in the same capacity. In 1S74 he was made chief clerk to the as sistant general freight agent. On April 1. 1870. Mr. McCabe was made division freight agent of the road at Logansport, Ind., and on November 1 following the office was moved to Chicago, tlie road for which he served being then known as the Columbus. Chicago and Indiana Central, operated by the Pan-Handle. In 1883 when the road was undergoing reorganization ns the Chicago. St. Louis and Pittsburg, he was general freight agent at Chicago for a year. When the reorganization was completed he was made general western freight agent of the Pan-Handle, and later division freight agent of the road at Chicago. In 1SS6 he was transferred to Columbus as assistant general freight agent, and in 1892 was made general freight agent in charge of the southwest system, which position he has held ever since. “As a freight man Mr. McCabe is re garded as one of the brightest in the country, and this is attested in the prominent part which he has been ac corded in the deliberations of freight associations. In the Central Traffic As sociation he was vice chairman of the freight committee under the late .1. T. R. McKay, general freight agent of the I^ake Shore, and on the retirement of Mr. McKay, some time before his death. Mr. McCabe was chosen chairman of the committee. He held the chairman ship for three years, and on resigning, in February, 1895. Commissioner Blanchard made some very compli mentary references to his services and rhe excellent tact which he had brought to the chair in disposing of the busi ness. "Among the railway officials of Co lumbus none stand higher. His social qualities have made for him lasting friendships, while his integrity is such that he has the highest confidence of the officers of the groat system he rep resents. and those of competing iines as well. In disposing of the multitudin ous and perplexing details of freight traffic he has the happy faculty of bringing to bear such well directed en ergy that when he leaves the office it is not to carry with him the distracting details which make wrecks of men loug before their time. He has a charming home life, and with his family he finds his greatest enjoyment. One son. Mr. G. S. McCabe, is now traveling freight agent of the read at Richmond, after a thorough training in the general freight department here, and is entering on a very promising career. It is the inten tion of Mr. McCabe to assume his new duties in Pittsburg April 1, though the family will not leave for some time yet. He is no stranger in Pittsburg, and for this reason he will be able to enter on his new duties under very auspicious circumstances. It is of interest in this connection to note that Mr. J. R Hill, who succeeded Mr. McCabe as general western freight agent at Chicago iu tiie old days, comes to Columbus to succeed him as general freight agent.'’ 4- ^ 4 if if For Best )) W Telegraphic )) Service. if Read. if Sunday Register. j) if if x .Tames A.
