His business ever since he came TO California
has been stock raising. He first had large
tracts in the south end of this county, and
as his herds grew he went into the San Joa.

New Time Table.
AN APPALLING DISASTER

Narrowly Escaped ON the Il. &..P.-Two
Bridges Fired.
The passenger train on the Texas d
Pacific road got in three hours late
yesterday morning, owing to an at
tempt by unknown parties to burn
the bridges yer Palo Pinto canon.
The engineer discovered that the
western bridge was OF fire at the east
end Just as the locomotive reached 1T,
and slowed up in the nick of time.
The stringers leading to the main
abutments of the bridge were
ALMOST BURNED THROUGH,
and had the train gone on, 1t would
undoubtedly have been hurled to the
bottom of the canon, twenty feet be-
low. The engine was Immediately de-
tached, and RAJ over and across the
eastern bridge to the tank some dis
lance beyond, where it obtained
water, and running back, put out the
fire with the hose. No sooner was
this done than the eastern
bridge, over which the en-
CINE had not passed, was also
seen to be burning. This fire was 500
eXtinguished and after two hours hard
work both bridges were repaired and
the train passed over safely.
TRAIN ROBBERS SUSPECTED.
1t Is thought that the bridges were
fired by parties who intended to rob
the train, but We're deferred from max
ing the attempt by the discovery of Il
detachment of United States military
and eight or ten rangers who we're on
board, and who showed themselves
when the train stopped at the first
bridge. One of the passengers saw tive
mounted men in n clump of post oal
not far away. They rode OF
almost Immediately after.
ANOTHER THEORY,
Is that the i~ncendiaries were partje,
who We're put off the train some time
ago for misconduct or non-payment o
fare. The train was crowded will
passengers and the timely discover
of the fire by the engineer, alone pre-
vented an appalling disaster.

MEETS WITH APPROVAL.

Another Ugly Place Bridged Over by the
Trunk Lines
Railroad men at this pOiat who have a dread
of railroad wars seem relieved at the results of
the trHnk-line meeting In New York last week.
The honorable manner in which President Jew
EFT, OF the Erie, met the questions issue
cites faverble comment. In his letter to Com
missioner Fink he assured him that the Chicago
L. Atlantic would accept any pool contract that
might be agreed upon, and the most important
feature of the conference last week was an
agreement to continue the settlement Of all diff
ferences between the Chicago roads, resulting
from variations in the allotted percentages in
bke actual east-bOund business hauled, in money
payments based on the gross revenue from the
excess tonnage carried by the roads that
ceeded their percentages. A settlement from
April l. 1888, the date of the last money settle
mont, up to the present time was agreed to, and
the commissioner was authorized to draw
Cerdingiy upon the lines which have been
ahead OF their percentages. Heretofore the
money settlements have been based upon net
revenue. reached by deduction of One-half of
the gross revenue for expenses of carriage.
Hence the roads which had been exceeding their
Percentages had their profits covered by the ex-
tent tn which they could reduce actual operat-
ing expenses below the allowance made in the
settlement Since last February the Vanderbilt
lines have been losing business, which has been
diverted to the Grand Trunk and the Erie. The
Chicago agreement win date from July l. 1893.
and ie to last five years Eight roads are includ-
ed mi The most important divergence from
the old contract is in the provision governing
settlements. Under the new pool, settlements
