1t Ia understood that orders have been is
sued forbidding tho engineers of the llanni-
bal & 81. Joseph and Wabash Il Pacific
roads from racing. The tracks run side by
side for several miles after leaving Harlem,
and the most exciting races between passen-
ger trains ure almost daily occurrences.
Flatonia Argus From friend in La
Grange we learn that the work on the tap
road Is progressing finely; that the contrac-
tors are busily engaged in clearing the brush
away from and regarding the old bed, and
that nothing appears TO stand in the way Of
an early completion of the road.
Northwest Texan Despite daily reports
TO the contrary, tho Pacific railroad is not
going TO be built through Stevens county. II
is true however, It will pass through the
southeast corner OF the county. There will
be no depot established near enough to in
lure Breckenridge.
The fast express locomotive just turned out
of the Baldwin Locomotive works for the
Reading Il Pennsylvania road was the five
thousandth built by this company. The first
locomotive was turned out in November,
1881. Estimating the average length OF the
engine and tender Mt As feet, these would
form train forty miles long.
A railroad train met with what might have
been called u shipwreck on the shore of Lake
Erie. A storm raised the water over thu
tracks, and put out the fire in the locomotives
heavy sea dashed against the cars, breaking
their sides, and floating box-car carried
away the cab of the engine by collision,
and finally the passengers we're taken ashore
on raft made ofties and boards.
There is not only no abatement of mate
rial going west for the I. q z. extension but
il is daily on the increase. II looks like
enough ties and bridge lumber have already
gone forward to build road to the moon,
but they do not amount to anything in com
parison with what will be sent. In about
six weeks or two months hence these ship
ments will be four or five times greater.
1t is fervently hoped that whoever buys
the Dallns 4 Wichita, the sale of which will
BIO made in few days from now, will do so
for the purpose of building it further than the
present gum stump terminus. AS the road
now is it is nearly worthless to commerce

to freight or passengers. The road should
be pushed to Denten and thence to the val
lev of the Red river and along that to the Pam
Handle of Texss--p positively the richest coun-
try in the whole State in fine virgin lands.
Texarkana News: The general office of
the Tyler Tap has been moved from the Ar
kansas side over to Texas General Minty
and Norton Dudly, the managers, are now
in their new office over the Texarkana bank.
Tyler Tap has been capped" by the recent
rains all through the Sabine river bottoms.
Some 100 tons of rail iron, lying at Tyler is
made inactive by this wash-out. Nothing
SO far, has been done to patch up the break.
From our Mexican exchanges we learn that
the Tehuantepec railroadi i progressing quite
rapidly.
"Our friends OF Lagrange and New Braun
fels may be assured the Texas Western Mar
row Gauge will be completed some time af-
ter the beginning of the milenum--not

up at Gadsby's." That means 1t is like the
Tennesseean who had u claim against the
Government and arrived in Washington
drawn by conch and four in january, 1884.
He told Gadsby to put the horses In the
stable and have supper ready by the time he
got back from the Treasury where he was
going to draw his money, and that he would
start home "betimes" next morning. he has
