New Time Card for Throush California
Trains.
Yesterday afternoon HERALD eporter
was at the downtown station when the
west-bound express arrived. At the ex.
IRENE END OF the train was one of the most
magnificent OF these moving palaces. n
Pullman car, that was ever mounted on
wheels. Her name is the Cliola. By in.
yitatlon of that gentlemanly, well-known
and old-time conductor in the Pullman
service, Mr.. John w. Grossly. of ST
Louis, the reporter went through the
Cliola and learned her pedigree and his.
tory. She was finished a few days ago al
the Pullman works, III Detroit, Michigan
sent to st. Louis and reported for duty
The Cliola was built expressly for Gould's
Southwestern System, and Isl by far the hand
soonest piece of rolling stock that has ever
visited this section. The car is built of the
finest mahogany, and finished up in The
highest style OF mechanical art. There arc
ten large, commodiOus sections, besides A
spacious drawing-room and pleasant
smsking-room. The drawing-room look,
like a miniature apartment of .
millionaire's mansion. 1t has an
elegant sofa, several OF the easiest
kind of seats, private marble-top sink, and
. complete toilet apartment, embracing q
large pier mirror OF plate-glasS, and smaller
side mirrors. The faces of the berths are
inlaid with rare woods of various rich col
orings. The ceiling is beautifully frescoed
The Cliola is lighted by five double chande
liers of the latest and prettiest designs
The highly polished woods act as retlectors
making the effect brilliantly enchanting
and the Cliola what its name implies
perfect Pullman palace. This was he,
maiden trip, and Mr.. Grossly was conduct
ing her through from st. Louis to Deming
New Mexico-to connect on Sunday mex
with the cars of the Southern Pacific al
that point for San Francisco and the Pacific
slope generally, making it virtually par
| of the first regular train across the Cont
nent by the new Iron Mountain, Texas
Pacific and Southern Pacific Triple Line }
| The Southern Pacific Company runs its owl
sleeping coaches over its own road, but ha.
conceded the other part OF the new linC
across the Continent to run as far west a.
Deming, New Mexico, eighty miles west o
| El Paso, to the point of junction with tho
| Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Road 81
there is in reality no through sleepers, bu
this is the only change of cars between st
Louis and San Francisco. The Clioli
| is as pretty as a picture" and looks q!
sweet as daisy dipped in dew" More
| like her are to follow, which shows thai
| Texas and the Southwest are coming to tn,
| front in first-class travelling facilities. Con
ductor Y. F. Tobin, of the Texas Il Pacific
service, was running the train to which tn,
Cliola was attached from Longview to For
Worth, where that old veteran Of the sam
road, G. W. Miller, took charge rs far a
Big Springs, and what conductor super
seeded him there the reporter did not learn
The Cliola will arrive at Demini
about 10 a. m. tomorrow, star
eastward tomorrow evening, ant
pass through Dallas at $3.50 a. m. OF
Wednesday next. The distance from st
Louis to Deming is 500 miles, and Con
ductor Grossly feels justly pround of run
