sisted IN reading a few passages of
Scripture and prayer, by Rev J. f.

Work is progressing on the new cable
power house. Contracts for the power
house have not yet been let, but the
Gable Company have a gang of men
busy laying concretes, and it is alto
gether possible that they will also erect
the power house themselves, and under
Their own supervision.
The company calculate that by the
end of the week their new engines will
have all connections made. 1t will
then be necessary to stop all cable cars
running for about forty eight hours, as
that time, at least, will be needed to
work the machinery and engines and
get them down to their bearings.
This notice is given IN advance so
that patrons of the road may furnish
themselves with little hand grips and

HUNTING A nGN CAR

An Incident Ihat Fully Illustrates the Trials
of "a Lost Car Tracer.
There is scarcely a more important
keeping track of the rolling stock of the
road, and few people outside of the rail-
road service are aware Of the difficulties
that beset the ear accountant. An in
cident relative to the subject came under
the reporters notice q few days ago and
the fact that the scene is laid 'at home
viii make it doubly interesting. For
months box car, that for present. pur-
/ poses may be known as No. 1853, has
been botheriug the man vino keeps track
of the cars on the South Shore road. He
had traced it TO a certain station and
there all trace Of it was lost. In the
mountainous region Of the far West a car
has been known to tumble down a
precipice and thus become lost,
but here such thing
could not happen. The subject
of the mysterious car grew upon his
mind 10 such an extent that he deter
mined TO find that car or perish in the at
tempt. Accordingly he went few weeks
ago TO the station at which place the car
was last heard from, and started after
the truant box car. Coming down the
line 10 point but few miles above 1sh-
peming, he went in on a branch TO
mine that is small shipper, and where
the track is not kept open in winter.
Getting mile or so out on the branch,
he suddenly ran into No. 1853. Upon
investigating he found that farmer who
lived in the vicinity had been, and was
still, using the car as barn, there being
six horses in the car at the time. II Is
needless TO say that the track was pIowed
out the next Sunday, and the farmers
barn is now engaged in the wheat traffic.

THE RAILROADS.
Changes and RumOrS of Changes to be
Made on the Panhandle System.
Indications Of On Unusually Heavy Movement
Of Cattla-Fort Worth and Denver Earn
ings-Ceneral Railroad News.

There are changes going on on the
Panhandle system, and rumors Of more
changes yet to be made. The changes
made are certain, but how much truth
there is in the Tumors of changes to be
made cannot be stated. It is believed
however that the reports are well
founded and viii be verified in a short
time.
The most important change that has
been made so far, is the appointment of
Mr.. w. F Henderson to the position OF
master mechanic of the Fort Worth and
Denver, to succeed MIR. John f. White
who has held the position so long. What
causes led to the change are not known,
and the retirement of Mr.. White from
the position is a surprise to every one
connected with the shops at this place.
The appointment of Henderson is now
effective.
The changes reported to be made, and
its said they viii occur in the near flu
ture, are About as interesting, If not
more SO than the one mentioned above.
AS il goes Superintendent r. J. Duncan,
whose jurisdiction now extends from
Fort Worth to Texline only, is to be ad-
vanced, and under the title OF general
superintendent viii have charge of the
entire line of the system from Fort
Worth 10 Denver. This looks little off
color in view of the Texas law, but it
is guessed there is an opening which al
lows such al appointment TO be made.
Nj. J. W Dickinson, at present as
sistant 90 Mr. Duncan, it is said viii be
promoted to superintendent of the Texas
end Of the line, his jurisdiction to extend
from Fort Worth TO Texliue.
Another appointment il is said VIII be
made is the appointment Of MIR. o. o.
Winter to the position " trainmaster of
the Texas division Of the system, with
headquarters at Fort Worth. There is
no official authority for these reports,
but they come like all railroad news
comes, through some medium that can
never be found ont; but they are gener-
ally correct. The appointment of Mr..
Henderson 10 supercede Mr.. White as
master mechanic, however, is semi
official, ana square paper.
