AND COKE COMPANY.
Frostburg, Md., Mar. 1.--John C. Brydon is elected general manager of Davis Coal and Coke Co. He will begin his new duties July 1st, and will have his headquarters at Cumberland.

He has shown ability for better things in all positions and it is thought that quite as that he has attained the position of general manager.

The tract now has very poor railroad connections but it is the plan of the company to be on the line of the new extension of the Western Maryland railroad which is called the proposed Wheeling-Pittsburg extension.
