WACO, TEX, May l5.-The Waco
street railway company is busy addin =
new lines of track to their already extern
sive system.
Waco failed to send an exhibit to the
Spring Palace after having secured space
for same. This is to be regretted, as
Waco could have made a splendid show

advantages before the thousands of vis-
itOrs now in the state.
Several from Waco will join the Spring

The Waco city directory, published by

THE PASSENGERS RATE WAR.
Rates Lower than for Years, with a Pros

Rates Lower than for Years, with Pros
pect of Them Going Still Lower.
The rate war between the Missouri
river roads is still unrelentlessly waged,
and it is generally conceded that it will
be waged until passenger rates will be
numerically nothing before it ends. The
best rates from Kansas City now are:
To st. Louis, 81; to Chicago, SO; to Gin
cinnati, 81; to St. Paul, So; to Birmlng-
ham, Ala, Sl3. so; to Memphis, SO; and
TO Denver city, 81. so.
The announcement of the Alton that
Its rate between Kansas City and Chi
cago would be first class So one, came
to its competing lines as a thunderbolt.
It was the last thing they had looked for
and it made the situation q most dis
agreeable one for most of them. There
is no line between Kansas City and Chi
cago that can SO well afford to make the
rate as the Alton. For the Burlington
to put such tariff in effect would mean
to destroy the revenue coming from such
local points as Burlington, Hannibal,
Quincy and a half dozen other
good points whose business amounts
TO heavy consideration. In the
case of the Rock Island such points
as NJ cline, Rock Island, Muscatine and
Dav export, all good towns in the road s
territory, prove valuable as revenue
producers. The Santa Fe alone stands
with the Alton as being able to cut the
rate without destroying an appreciate
volume of business. The Wabash has
magnificent list of strong points that it
refuses to sacrifice, and it is on this
ground that the Alton cast q bombshell
in its competitors camp when 1t an
nounced the remarkably low rate be-
tween Chicago and Kansas City. When
the Kansas City ticket office of the Alton
was opened at 8 O'Clock Tuesday morn
ing there was line standing in wait for
tickets to Chicago at the So rate.

UNION PACIFIC GULF CHANGES.

President Adams Issues Orders Outlining
the New Programme.
President Adams of the Union Pacific
has issued orders setting forth in detail
the recent changes made on the Union
Pacific system, including the Fort Worth
and Denver, and they are as follows:
All lines comprising the Union Pacific,
Denver and Gulf railway company and
the Denver, LeRdviIle and Gunnison
railway company will hereafter be oper-
ated as one general division, to be known
as the Gulf division, with C. F. Meek
general manager, reporting direct to the
ice-president. The general solicitor,
the general traffic manager, the chief of
construction department, the chief en-
giueer, the general land commissioner,
the superintendent of motive power and
machinery, the superintendent of car
service, the superintendent of telegraph,
the chief surgeon, the general purchas-
ing agent and the chemist of the COM
pany, with authority extended over the
gulf division, will report to the vice-pres-
dent.
The line from Cheyenne to Wendover
and the Denver. Leadville and Gunnison
railway are annexed to the Colorado di-
vision. The lines from Denver mot in
Guiding DENVER to Texline, will here
after be known as the New Mexico di-
vision. r. J. Duncan is appointed SUI
perintendent of the Colorado division,
vice J X. Choate, resigned. F. E. Bis
sell Is appointed superintendent of the
New Mexico division.
Mr.. o. o. Winter is appointed general
superintendent of the Fort Worth and
Denver railway, vice Mr.. R. J Duncan,
resignedAss5
< 80. n. MeKibbin having resigned
ass general purchasing agent of the Union
Pacific, L. s. Anderson will assume
charge of all the departments heretofore
managed by the general purchasing
agent under the title of acting purchas-
ing agent, the appointment TO take effect
Tomorrow.
The report of Mr.. McKibbin g resigna-
ton comes with suddenness. He was
formerly in possession of an Insignificant
berth on the Jersey Central, when,
through some influence, he was brought
West and put on the Union Pacific. He
soon became purchasing agent at a salary
of $1,000, but from his coming into Office
he had trouble with the vice-president.
Mr.. Holcomb on one occasion suspended
him for a bungling piece Of work, but
McKibbins' "pull' got to work again,
and he went back into his place without
losing q day. In an open meeting IN
which Mr.. Holcomb accused Mr.. McKib-
ben of transcending his authority the lat
ter gave the vice. president the lie.
President Adams at once suspended Mr..
McKibben, but at the vice-president' g
request he was given a chance to apollo
gize and be reinstated. he refused, and
the order suspending him was made eff
fective. Mr.. McKibben's successor has
not been chosen.

Col. Henderson Figuring on n Railroad to
Connect with the Texas Trunk.
Correspondence. of the Gazette.
ATHENS, Ten. May l4.-Seeing this
morning in TIE GAZETTE of the 18th I'M
der the heading "It Didn' It Pan Out''
an article in reference to the rumored
extension Of the Dallas Trunk, stating
that the board of directors of the Trunk
had held its annual meeting, elected its
officers and adjourned without doing any
thing looking to extension, as Athens
is much interested in this project,
l desire TO say that Col. NJ. Henderson of
Dallas during the past few weeks been
here much of the time, and is now here
figuring on the building of a railroad to
connect with the Trunk. He represents
q company which has possession and con-
troll of tine original charter of the Dallas
and New Orleans road, and your corre-
spondent Is reliably informed that If
Athens and its vicinity will guarantee a
bonus OF $50, 900 work will commence at
once upon the construction of twenty
miles of road, beginning at this place
and extending towards the present term
mus of the Dallas Trunk at Cedar in
Kaufman comfy una southeast towards
Palestine, ten miles each way. There
has already been raised of the re-
quired amount about S23, 900.
Whether the balance can be gotten up
remains to be seen. 1t is the opinion OF
your correspondent that Athens has done
about all it can do, and yet there are
those here, well informed and in posi-
ton to know. who are sanguine, and say
it is almost certainty that such a road
will be built in the near future. Such Il
road would open up one of the best sec
tions of the state heretofore overlooked
Being the most direct and therefore the
shortest road to the immense fine regions
OF the Southeast, beginning but twenty
miles from Athens and extending to the
Sabine and the gulf, it would be en-
phaticslIy the shortest lumber road from
Texas, carrying it direct by the shortest
haul from the mills to the great dis
tributing csnters of the Northwest and
west-Dallas and Fort Worth. That
such road would "pay bIg' there can
not be even the possibility oil a doubt.

ENT0MBED ALIVE.
Extensive Cave.In In One Of tho LshIgh and
and Wilkes Barre Coal Company's Mines.
Many Lives in Doubt.

WILKES BARRE, Pa, May ia cave
In occurred to-day near Ashley in No. 8
mine, operated by the Lehigh and
Wilkes Barre coal company, by which
twenty-five men were entombed in the
mine. The scene of the disaster this
afternoon is one of intense excitement.
Not only the relatives of the twenty
five miners and laborers, but thousands
of others are gathered upon the spot
discussing the best methods of effecting
their rescue. The company took prompt
action toward liberating the i'm
prisoned men, but things are in
such chaotic condition that the
results are by no means certain.
Many believe that the rescue of the
men alive is we'll nigh an impossibility +,
while others as they watch the continual
movement of the surface and the extern
sive workings of the mines, shake their
heads IN grave doubts. The present cave
is in the workings on No. 8 slope of the
Lehigh and Wilkes Barre coal company,
Immediately adjoining the mine in which
an extensive cave occurred twelve years
ago, imprisoning ten men for over q
week, but who were finally rescued.
The present cave extends over
half q mile square and included
a portion of the thlckly settled village,
called Maafette's Patch. A number of
houses have gone down with the surface,
but only few of them have been dam
aged. Following is a list of the men
who are known to be imprisoned: John
Hanson, Anthony Frave, Michael
Schalley, John Schalley, Assistant Fire
Boss Mike Henry, Charles James, Frank
Gallagher, Robert Roberts, Harry
Jones, Ellis Williams, Owen Williams,
Daniel Sullivan.
Thomas Williams, John Penning, An
thony Frele, Harry Perry and son, Owen
Perry, Thomas Clause, John James and,
four Hungarian laborers. ~

COURTHOUSE BURNED.
Grimes County's Courthouse Destroyed Most
of the Papers, Etc, Saved.

Grimes COunty's Courthouse Destroyed Most
of the Papers, Etc, Saved.
Special to the Gazette. r
NAvAsoTA, TEX. May 15.-The court
house of Grimes county, at Anderson,
ten miles north of here, has been totally
destroyed by fire. Just about 2:30 this
morning flames we're seen bursting from
the building. Responding with alacrity
to the alarm, large number pf
Anderson's citizens rushed to the
spot and made heroic efforts to save th9
priceless records and the books, papers
and furniture belonging to the county )
but it was quickly seen that the doom of
the building was sealed. Nearly all the
records and papers were saved, but the
financial ledger of the county, book of
great value, was lost, Having done
what they could in this way, the workers
turned their attention to saving neigh,
boring property and in this
werey successful. 1t has not
yet been possible to open the vaults and
safe, but everything therein is thought
to be intact. There was an insurance of
$4,000 on the courthouse. The fire orig
mated in the cupola, or between the roof
and ceiling, and may have resulted from
the carelessness of some lounger, but
there is strong suspicion that it was the
work of an Incendiary.

notice of reduction in sugar rates from
New Orleans to Denver of about % per

effect during the unsettled condition of
Eastern rates and the Philadelphia re-
tineries were shipping sugar to the West
by the trainload. The Texas and Pacific
finally concluded to take hand in the
fight by making a reduction from New
Orleans. The new rate will be in effect
until June l but in the meantime further
