Home Notes.


The west-bound Texas & Pacific was a
half hour late last night.
The fuel agent Of the Texas & Pacific
was in the city last night.
The Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe was an
hour late last night, very unusual thing
for that road.
Col Fisher, the claim agent OF the Mis-
souri, Pacific road, was in the city yester-
day on business.
Conductor Startling was in the city last
night from his regular run, and while
attending to his train lost very line
pointer dog.
During the absence of Mr.. w. A. Ross,
auditor of the Fort Worth & Denver,
Mr.. George G. Rivers is performing tue
duties of the position in a most satisfac-
tory manner.
The track of the Gulf, Colorado &
Santa Fe is said to have reached point
thirty-nine miles north of this city, and
by October l, $500 men will be at work in
the Territory.
At O'Clock last night, when the north
bound Missouri Pacific was due here, 1t
had not left Taylor, and few minutes
later word was received that 1t would not
get here until O'Clock this morning.
The Texas & Pacific shops here, under
the management of Foreman Douglass,
are doing a large amount of work, and it
is whispered about that more machinery
will soon be put In, and that the car-sheds
spoken of by Receiver Brown months
ago will soon be built.
G. L. Frost, superintendent of the Fort
Worth Denver, was in Bowie yester-
day, comforting with the citizens OF. that
and other towns on the proposed extern
sion of the road in the shape Of branch
TO Burlington. This branch will, in the
opinion Of railroad men, be great thing
for the Fort Worth & Denver and for this
| city.
The st. Louis 5 San francisco is now
engaged in doing some very heavy tun.
neling work in the Indian Territory which
will probably take several mouths. 1t Is
said that when this part of the road is
completed an immense force will be put
on the balance of the distance, and the
work pushed to Paris. When that Ii
done definite proposition will be made
TO Mckinney and Fort Worth. A gentle
man who conversed with Frisco officials
in st. Louis makes this statement.
For day or two current talk in rail
road circles has been to the effect that the
bondholders of the Missouri, Kansas
Texas were anxious to withdraw from
the Gould or Missouri Pacific system, anC
that at meeting soon to be held the Of
fort would be made and strenuously in
sisted on by number OF the secnrit,
holders. The Missouri, Kansas & Texa
Is the road from Hannibal to Denison an,
the reason assigned by those intereste,
for wanting to withdraw from the system
q Is that the road has been MIXED to bene
fit the Missouri Pacific. The Missouri
I Pacific is the road from st. Louis T.
\ Kansas City with number of branches
4 one of which is the roR
from Whitesboro to Gainesville
and Fort Worth TO Laredo. Shout
the Missouri, Kansas 6 Texas succeed l
Withdrawing, 1t will leave only the 81
Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern;to Nj
Gould as a means OF reaching Texai
d Those who deny the statement that tn
q Missouri, Kansas & Texas is trying I
p leave the Gould system say the Missou
Il Pacific has twentY-years' lease on ii
- road, which cannot be broken, and thi
: Jay Gould holds controlling interest.
