NEWS OF THE RAIL.
Rumored Changes in the
Santa Fe Office.
THE TRAINS ALL RIGHT AGAIN.
Damages on the Santa Ana Division
of the Southern Pacific Trains
Nrom the North.

It is said on what appears to be excel
lent authority that some very important
changes are about to take place in the
personnel of the offices of the Southern
California Railway Company in this city.
If what is said is true, and there is prob
ably no doubt of the fact, the company
is about to lose the service of several OF
its Oldest and best men. The reason
which is assigned for the changes is that
of reducing expenses. 1t has all along
been held by the authorities of the COM
pany, in the East, that the Office had a
larger number of men than WAS neces-
eary and cut of some kind, either in
salaries or in the number of men, has
been expected for some time.
Mr.. III. B. Wilkins, who was the pred
ecessor of Mr.. Hynes in the Offices in
this city, has been transferred from the
position of General Freight and Passen-
ger Agent of the Sonora division, to the
same position on the Mexican Central.
1t is believed that Mr.. G. FL. Mcmillan,
who is chief clerk of the freight depart
ment in this city, and Mr.. Kyse, chief
clerk of the passenger department, will
take positions on one of the Mexican
lines. 1t is understood that their resig-
nations have been rendered. These are
two of the most popular and most eff
cient of the younger railway men of this
section, and they have very large circle
OF friends who will be sorry to learn that
they are to leave this city.
1t is also stated that q. w. Sanborn,
kIa -
@. Whitehead, the Auditor, will both re-
sign. Wha. arrangement will be made
with regard to filling these positions, is
will be consolidated as lar as possible for
ried officers. Messrs. Sanborn and
Whitehead are both men of high stand
ing for their ability as railway officers,
and for their personal qualities.
All trains were running on the Santa
Fe line yesterday without transfers or
Interruptions of any sort. A freight car
ran off the track yesterday afternoon
about 2 O'Clock, a little way beyond
Highland Park. The accident was due
to the spreading of the rails. No dam
age was done.
Number 10 from the North on the
1oUehOAh ~ hOlllC luliOa W kCb ia y66toI-
day morning at the time that it was ex-
pected, but put in an appearance at s 80
in the evening in three sections. 1t
brought several hundred passengers for
this place and the East who had been
delayed in the North bv the closing of
the line. Number 20 left for the North
two hours late. 1t was very big train,
composed OF two sections, each of them
crowded with passengers.
The work on the Santa Ana division
has proven somewhat more extensive
than was anticipated, and it probably
will not be finished and the trains run
until tomorrow morning. This line
passes through the district where the
wreckage of the storm was most severe
A spectator describes it as looking like
the pictures of the Johnstown
diss 'ter. The barrels and hogsheads
of the Nadeau winery are scattered along
for distance of several miles. Two of
the larger buildings are entirely demol-
ished, no visible remnants of them re-
naming. The other two buildings are
very much damaged. In one place a
farmhouse was picked up and hoated
some distance, and finally deposited
right across the railway track. The work
trains are still engaged on the Santa
Barbara line.
A Phillips excursion went out last
night and Walters excursion came in,
