ON THE RAILWAYS.
The A., 7. 4 s. T.. New Train Service
Change in the Narrow Gauge
Scheduled Strike on the
Santa Fe System.

While the new schedule has not yet
reached local agents, it is known that a
highly important change will take place
in the A., Il. & S. f. train schedule on the
9th of next month. The official an
nouncement of the part that the Atlantic
g. Pacific road takes in this change was
given out by Gen. Supt. T. R. Gable on
Saturday, and says;
"All trains will have both northern and
southern California connections, and each
will be an independent train between San
Francisco, Los Angeles and Chicago
This gives us what we have long been
striving for-that is, three daylight trains
in and out of Albuquerque"
Using the A. & P. figures for basis
some idea of the change of time in and
out of Santa Fe can be had. The train
from the east now arriving at :15 a. m
will get in after November at 1:30 a. M,
and No. 3, due now at Ills p. IN. will be
shortened up SO as to reach Santa Fe five
hours earlier, or about o'clock in the
evening, the branch train to connect
Herewith leaving for Lamy at about 4
o'clock in the afternoon.
No. 2, west bound, which now arrives at
Ills p. IN. will probably not be changed,
but No. 4, east bound, now coming from
the south and west at 8 a. M, will leave
Albuquerque about 1870 and get into
Santa Fe about II o'clock in the fore
noon.
Under this arrangement passengers
from either tho northern or southern part
of the territory can reach the capital in
the early morning, remain all day and
leave in the evening.
Trains Nos. 3 and will be solid vesti-
buled trains and will make fast time
probably averaging forty miles an hour,
with view to shortening up the pres mt
time seven hours and quarter between
Chicago and Los Angeles.
MARROW GAUGE SCHEDULE.
A new time card also took effect to-day
on the narrow gauge system. The north
bound train leaves at $50 a. m. and the
south bound train gets in at 6:10 p. m.--s
change of two hours going north and one
hour and quarter coming in. BY this

one morning reach Denver at 1880 q. m
the next day, in time to make direct con
necton with the Missouri river trains
going east. Supt. Helm has long sough
to make this change, but he thought i
best to delay until now in order to &C
commodate the fruit shippers of Sant'
Fe. Now that fruit shipping has abou
ceased for the season he can make i
without prejudice to this important in

RAILROAD STRIKES.
Both the broad and narrow gauge sys
TENS are wrestling with labor strikes to
day. On the Gulf, Colorado and SAINT
Fs lines all train dispatchers, agents an
operators quit work at o'clock las
evening, and an order went over the wire
this morning directing that every ager
and train dispatcher on the whole SAINT
: Fe system cease work at 10 o'clock. Til
latter order, however, proved to be fax
sent out by an operator at Galveston
Texas. The Texas system is not movin
wheel to-day. The trouble arose Owe
the discharge of certain members of I'll

the whole system will be tied up to-mo

o On the D. g. r. G. there is also stril
in central Colorado, as will be noted

no trouble south of Pueblo.
