The Fort Bliss Yards.

The yards of the White Oaks rail-
way company are mile above the Fort
Bliss reservation, and easily accessible
by any kind of vehicle. Some twenty
acres have been laid out, ard grades
built for one long siding at the right of
the main track. and two shorter ones
at the left, while the track of the old
left isavailable for siding purposes,
and connection can be made from the
yards in short order.
The main ine digresses from the old
line about the calvary stables and
crossiog a corner of the reservation
trikes off towards the north at consi-
derable of an angle from the old line
Rails are down for the long siding and
q small part of the main line through
the yaras, while hundreds of tons Of
| steel rails are piled up in great heaps
waiting along with fish plates, angle
bars, kegs of spikes and other mate rial
waiting for the coming of the ties
" hich ought to be here any day now.
The grading is q fine piece OF work-it
OuR BIT to be with such veteran contrac-
tors as George S. Good & Co., to build
it. AS far as the eye scan reach the
grade is as clean cut and as true as a
mathematician could desire. Gangs of
men are sca TERED all long the grade to
the New Mexico line and on the arrival
OF the ties. the rapidity with which the
track is laid will depend entirely up
on the number of men put to work up
on i, for the grade is ali re ,dy.
The view is very attractive. and the
air yester day when a HERALD report
err was up there, was glorious The
wheeling is good, the road from this
city to just above Concordia cemetery
is in much bstter shape than it has
been for some time; and from the latter
point the bicycle path to Fort Bliss
parallels the wretched wagon road to
the foot of the grade leading up on to
the mesa. OF course the road through
the reservation is of the very best, and
to the north, after leaving the cavalry
stables, the wagon road is in excellent
shape for bicycle riding clear to the
railroad yards.
The railroad company have built
section houses and conveuieuces for
their men, and the general outlook
suggests careful and we'll directed
work. At present engine 634 of the
Southern Pacific is in use as construc-
ton train engine, and when the ties
are on hand another engine will be
needed.

"a First Glass Show"

81 am sorry to sac DR.. Yandell run
ming down the In Gay New York
show," said q lady to a HERALD re-
porter this morning. Il saw the show
in San Francisco and paid 81 so seat
in the parquette and I never cav a
better show in my life. In fact it was
so good that went to the same show
again two nights later at the same
price and I will go again at the came
price here. do not like to see first
class theatrical company run down rs
there are only few of them that we
see sout here, but In Gay New York
one sees first class acting in every line
and the show is really worth fifty cents
more than any of the one night sta nd
shows that comes to this city. OF
course do not want to get into any
controversy with DR.. Ysndell or any
one else over . show, but as I have
seen this show I am fully satisfied that
everyone who goes will say it is far
better than anything that has been
here yet and they will net begrudge
the 81 so thew paid for admittance"

Will Defend Himself.

If Mr.. Foster had persisted in bis re-
fusal to pay out any of the school money
it would have been perfectly proper for
the city council to assume the respou-
sibiity OF disbursing the school funds
And it would have been proper for the
city council to decline to hand over any
money to be tied up in Mr.. Fosters
bands. But it appears that everything
has been adjusted so as to keep the
schools going and there is no neces-
city for a row.-Times.
It is not true that I, as treasurer of
the schools, at auy time have refused
to pay out any school funds. 1 have re-
Trained from entering into any contro-
versy over the school question, believ-
ing the same is advised, but I am
ready to defend myself from innueudoes,
if persisted in. A. G. FOSTER.

There Ia party in town thinking of
starting a stone saving plant Ar
chitects and builders say such q
scheme will bea good thing fer any
one to go into, and that t. e town has
now arrived at a period in its growth
which will warrant the esta blish ment
of steam plant for saving stone.
This would make sawn stone so cheap
as to do away entirely with the use of
brick for sills and copings, and besides
a way would be op ned for the saving
of stone slabs for front elevation
veueers. The erection of buil7iugs 10

make an important mark;in local but d.

A CHEERFUL LIAR.
A. T. StOeger has Grown More Famous
Than Baron Munchausen.

A. T. Stoeeer, St. Louis drummer
who was on the Southern Pacific train
that was held up at STEMS Fae s, is get
ting into print and making himself
famous as prevaricatOr. The follow
ing fiction is taken from the ST. Louis
ably telegraphed by Stoeger himself ,as
it is q tissue of falsehood from begin.
ing to end:
s'The shooting aroused the sleeping
passengers and badly frightened many.
Stoeger, devining the cause of the
trouble hurriedly dressed himself and
slipped from the car.
'.The robbers were too busy battling
with the express company's guards to
notice him, and:he ran some distance
down the track in the dark.
"When the two trains came within
hailirg distance the bandits had fled,
leaving ore of their number dead
Then for the first time was it realized
what an heroic service Stoeger had
performed. But for his timely warn
ing there was every danger of the lat
ter train crashing into the "Supset
Limited" and many lives would have
been lost. It was dangerous under
taking for Stoeger, and whatever his
motive in leaving the train attacked by
the robbers, the end branded his action
one of great heroism.
ga. F Stoeger is 30 years old, mar
ried an Austrian by birth. He has been
resident of ST. Louis for 10
years.
cit is said that be journeyed about
a mile back of the held-up train, al
most be ond the sound of the robbers
fusilade, when be saw the headlight of
another engiue approaching in the dark
ness. 1t was on the same track as the
Sunset Limited" and he realized
that something must be doue, and done
quickly. He hurriedly gathered to-
gether lot OF rubbish and old paper
and applying match soon had fair
sized bonfire ab)aze on the track.
The signal was effective. The rapidly
approaching train slackered its sp ed
and Stoe ger climbed aboard. He re-
lated what had happened mile above
and the train bore down cautiously on
the scene.S
