sanguine seymour.

The Seymour News boils over with
railroad information, and if all It pub
fishes is correct there is going to be
music in the air for a fact. It learns
from what it regards as reliable author
ity that the Wichita Valley road will
soon be completed to Seymour and be
extended north from Wichita Falls to q
connection with the Rock Island. 1t
says further that "Dan Cary, the con-
tractor, says that as soon as the grade IS
completed to this point he will put his
force on the line from the Falls to a con-
nection with the all-powerful Rock
Island. This will give Seymour a more
direct line to the North than any other
line that could be built. A very prom
inent man in railroad circles said, while
in conversation with a News reporter,
that this would make Seymour a great
cityj that it would be central point for
the counties south and west of this;
that the road with this connection
would partially give Fort Worth
and Dallas a black eye and make
this the commercial point of the north
west. He also said that if Fort Worth
or Dallas did not extend one of their AL
buquerque roads into this country in the
very near future that the Rock Island
would edo them up;' that this road
would give the west and northwest a more
direct connection with Chicago than any
other, and as a matter of convenience
and better market would ship directly
over this line to Chicago. Dallas and
Fort Worth, you must shove your roads
out; it is to your interest as well as that
of the northwest. While showing them
please consider Seymour before you set
tie on your line. It has the location,
more and better outlets for railroads than
any other town Id the northwest. Rail-
roads all point to Seymour, as they are
not fools and know a good thing when
they see it-consequently they point and
come to Seymour. Seymour is coming,
and don Z you doubt it,

Good Engineering,

A GAZETTE reporter was in railroad
Office in the city yesterday when a num-
Der of railroad officials, contractors and
business men were discussing what they
regarded as a remarkable piece Of en-
genserng work compiled by General
Manager Grant of the Texas and Pacific.
That portion of thu New Orleans division
Of the Texas and Pacific which was over
flowed on account of the Morganza
Tevasse on the Mississippi river has now
been thoroughly repaired and is open for
business and the traffic department has
been instructed to receive all the business
offered for points over this part of the
line. Heretofore when such troubles as
the late overflow came on the road, the
line would be closed for from
four to six months, and 1t is somewhat
remarkable that so short q delay has
been caused in this instance. Col.
Grant's actions have been closely
watched by his Fort Worth friends, who
believed that if any one could he would
Keep trains running over the road despite
nigh water or anything else. He has
zone what he undertook TO do. The
submerged track in places for seventeen
miles has been raised above the high
water by cribbing aud driving piles and

uie time from Fort Worth to New Or

It is expected that the Fort Worth and
Denver bridge will be opened for traffic
over it this week.
Scalpers were offering tickets TO Kan
sas city yesterday for 81. The tickets
ers were gel ting shaky on account of the
big stock on hand.

partment of the Texas and Pacific, who

friends fear that his injuries are worse
than they were at first thought TO be.
Work has begun on the new steel draw
of the Mobile and Ohio railway bridge
across the Tennessee river. The draw
will be Az feet long, and will rest on
massive stone piers. The work will re-
quire several months, but not interfere
with traffic.
The largest train that ever entered Ell
Paso arrived several days ago over the
Texas and Pacific. It consisted of forty
seven cars, thirty-four of them being
consigned to the city of Mexico with
general merchandise. Conductor J. s.
Bagley and Engineer NJ. j. Doyle
brought it in with engine No. 211, which
weighs about seventy-fve tons.
We have it on pretty good authority
that a company, composed mostly of
Denver capitalists with few New Mex
leo gentlemen, is about TO be formed for
the purpose of building q railroad from
Springer to Elizabethtown, and from
here to point on the Denver and Fort
Worth railroad, not yet named, in the
eastern portion of the county
[Springer On. M Stockman.
President Hughitt, of the Chicago and
Northwestern, is quoted as saying that
under the present condition of things it
is daily becoming more apparent that the
management of railroads have q clear
path before them If they can content
themselves to follow it-one that will
lead them out of the rate troubles and
rate wars, viz: To obey the spirit and
intent of the Interstate law; to main
tain tariffs and compete with facilities,
and not through the medium of destroy
ing rate wars.
A railroad bill, which has been signed
by the governor of New York, amends
the laws of 1880 by providing that every
corporation owning, leasing or operating
a railroad or railroad cars wholly or
partly within the state of New York,
shall make an annual report to the board
of railroad commissioners of the opera
ton of the road for the year ending with
the 30th day of June of each year, and
of its condition on that date. The re-
port must be verified by the oath of the
president or treasurer and the general
manager or acting superintendent, and
be filed in the office of the board of rail-
road commissioners by the lst day of
September of each year.

an official registration of the deaths, the
superintendent of the census may, I'M
his discretion, withhold the mortality
schedule from the regular enumerators,
and obtain the statistics through official
records. He may also employ experts to
gather statistics as to manufactures,
mining and other industries.
