As a business man he has been prompt, energetic and of unquestioned integrity, while as a citi zen he has taken an active part in the social and political affairs of our city and has manifested a deep interest in our material growth and . prosperity. He has formed friendly ties here which he will dislike to surrender, and which will be mutually painful. He will leave here some time during next week, and will go hence to Baltimore, where he proposes to engage in business. It is not yet definitely known who wilt be his successor as agent of the steamship line, but that will probably be deter mined within the week. He baa our heartiest wishes for his prosperity in his new field of labor. Board of Audit and Finance .
