TUCSON, Nov. GA. N. Towne,
Superintendent of the s. P. r. r.,
J. G. Stubs, T. II. Goodman, Ar
thur Brown, w. g. Curtis, and
Messrs. Welsh and Gage passed
here this morning en- route to Ell
Paso, where they will meet Gener-
al Manager Hoxie and officers of
the Texas Pacific, and Superin-
tendent Wheeler and officers of the
A. II. and s. f. for business con-
ference. The s. P. r. r. and Tex
as Pacific will unite Tuesday or
Wednesday,, and through trains
from San Francisco to New Or
leans will most probably COM
mence running on the 10th prox.,
and regular through business will
be established before the end of
thirty days. Travel from the East
is rapidly augmenting.
This morning, at 2 o'clock, while
switching cars at the yard, q coup
ling broke and four cars, one heav-
lily loaded with steel rails, became
detached and moved down the
grade westward. The office at Ca.
81 Grande was wired and ordered
to hold passenger train and throw
the switch. The passenger train,
with A. N. Towne's special attach
ed, was Just moving out when the
news came of the runaway cars,
and thus saved, for in one hour and
twenty minutes the cars went
dashing into Casa Grande, a dis.
tance of sixty.five miles from Tue
son, striking two freight cars on
the switch, completely demolish-
ing them and swapping the rails in
small pieces. There being no tele-
graphic station between Casa
Grande and Tucson, a terrible dis
aster could not have been avoided.
Had the notice of the runaway cars
been half minute later, the pas.
senger train would have been be-
yond communication.
A Star special from Magdaleua
says: "The Thos. Nickerson party
arrived here Sunday evening and
left on Monday for Hermosill0.
They spoke very favorably of the
Magdalena route that they had
passed over, and said that the road
wonld be constructed on that sur.
vey. A party OF engineers are To-
eating the line north of san Ig-
nacio; another one is here making
q plat of all private land claims on
the route. Business is good and a
large number of foreigners are
coming in. Perfect peace prevails
In this district"
The StGr's Guaymas correspond
ent on the 22d writes: 1.-THE census

Americans are getting up a petition
to Postmaster James to have the
mail service increased from the
United States. Thomas Nickerson,
Consul Willard and party of Bos-
ton men are here. Two vessels
from Europe with railroad iron are
long overdue, and fears are enter
tanned of their safety. The tele-

graphic communication with the
United States. Two Mexicans
were sent to Hermosillo this
morning to be shot for highway
robbery. Frank Oakly, formerly

The Postmaster, once Catholic

for . defaleation of six hundred
dollars. Sam Brannan is still here
working on his land titles. News
from Altar, Sonora, say that Gov.
Ortiz will be there on the first of
December to look personally into
the trouble existing between
American mining companies and
Mexican citizens. 1t is said that
he has been badly deceived by pre-
tenders and thus led to make some
mistake. Although lawyer OF
fine attachments, raised and edu.
Gated in Germany, he seems to be
imbued with monarchical ideas,
which is strongly condemned by
the people"
