Now Timo Card for Through California
Trains.
Yesterday afternoon HERALD cportci
was at the downtown station when the
wcst-bound express arrived. At the ex
tremc end ofthe train was one of the most
magnificent of those moving palaces, q
Pullman car, that was ever mounted on
wheels. Her name is the Cliola. By In
vitation Of that gentlemanly, wcll-known
and old-time conductor in the Pullman
service, Mr.. John w. Grossly, of St
Cliola and learned her pedigree and his
tory. She was finished q few days ago at
the Pullman works, in Detroit, Michigan
sent TO St. Louis and reported for duty
| The Cliola was built expressly for Gould's
Southwestern System, and is by far the hand
soonest piece Of rolling stock that has ever
visited this section. The car is built of the
! highest style of mechanical art. There are
ten large, conimodious sections, besides q
spacious drawing-room and pleasant
smOking-room. The drawing-room looks
| like miniature apartment of O
millionairc's mansion. 1t has an
elegant sofa, several OF the easiest
kind of seats, q private marble-top sink, and
. complete toilet apartment, en- bracing a
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 refectors,
making the effect brilliantly enchanting,
and the Cliola what its name implies--a
perfect Pullman palace. This was her
maiden trip, and Mr.. Grossly was conduct
| ing her through from st. Louis to Deming,
! New Mexico-to connect on Sunday next
with the cars of the Southern Pacific at
that point for San Francisco and the Pacific
slope generally, making 1t virtually part
of the first regular train across the Cont
nent by the new Iron Mountain, Texas Il
Pacific and Southern Pacific triple Line"
The Southern Pacific Company runs it's own
sleeping coaches over its own road, bat has
conceded the other part OF the new line
across the Continent to run as far west as
Dcming, New Mexico, eighty miles west of
El Paso, to the point of junction with the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Road so
there is in reality no through sleepers, but
this is the only change of cars between St.
Louis and San Francisco. The Cliola
is as pretty as picture" and looks as

like her are to follew, which shows that
Texas and the Southwest are coming to the
front in first-class trayeling facilities Con-
ductor T. f. Tobin, of the Texas & Pacific
service, was running the train to which the
Cliola was attached from Longview to Fort
Worth, where that old veteran of the same
road, g. w. Miller, took charge as far as
Big Springs, and what conductor super
seeded him there the reporter did not learn.
The Cliola will arrive at Deming
about 10 a. m. tomorrow, start
eastward tomorrow evening, and
pass through Dallas at $3.50 a. m. on
Wednesday next The distance from st.
Louis to Deming is 1,500 miles, and Con-
ductor Grossly feels justly pround of run
ming the first regular Pullman car on the
initial trip over the Triple Line"
A new time-card goes into effect on the
Texas & Pacific at a. m. tomorrow, when
through passenger trains from st. Louis to
San Francisco and return start out regu-
larly Going west they arrive at East Dali,
las Union Depot at $40 p. M, stopping 20
minutes for supper, and arriving at the
downtown station at $40 p. m. The east
bound trains arrive at the downtown Dali
las station at $50 a. m, at tho Union Depot
at a. m, stopping 20 minutes for break
