The remains of the late Samuel Pier

near Madden station, were buried this
morning from Ross undertaking.

Knights of Pythias, Rev. 81. w. Moore,
of the Presbyterian church, also TAX

The mangled body was laid in q fine
casket, covered with flowers, but of
course was not exposed to view. Both
uniformed rank turned out, over sixty
strong. and then there were many rail-
road men present to show their respect
for their departed friend. A large
number of Knights and friends went to
the cemetery, where the sad rites were
concluded. PiersOn's death has cast q
gloom over the railroad community.
The wrecked T. & p. engine will be
taken to Big Springs for rebuilding,
but the G. 81. engine will be towed into
this city this evening for repairs at the
local shops. The roadway was cleared
yesterday afternoon, the two trains
from the east arriving between 8 and 9
O'Clock. At the inquest before Justice
McKie, Trainmaster McNeal testified
that the extra, headed both sections of
the freight train, but owing to hot
boxes it got sandwiched in between the
two sections.
It was the business of the engineer
and conductor of the T. & p. passenger
to have seen the white flag signal on
the engine, and at the rear of the ex-
ira on the Madden siding which would
have told them that the train there
was an extra, and the second section of
"a was to be looked out for. On some
roads. on the Santa F'e for instance,
if the engineer of train
on q siding thinks that the engineer of
a passing train ia disregarding the
train signals, it is the business OF the
engineer of the train on such siding to
give whistle signals to the engineer of
the passing train. However, it is
claimed that the general rules made by
the superintendent association do not
make this obligatory at all. At the
same time, had the engineer OF the ex-
ira whistled, Engineer Oliver would
have had his attention called to the
fact that something was wrong.
Sapt. Martin and Train Master Nc
Neal cleared the road in short order;
and trains were running last night as
usual.

One day last week q story was print
ed in the newspapers here about pro-
motion, says the New York Times. 1t
was one of the remarkable stories, but
it was true. In the patent Office lady
was notified that she had been found
qualified by service for advancement to
q higher grade and salary. Commls-
sioner Butterworth looked for the
usual signs of qualification, but, instead
of joy, he observed regret and distress.
The lucky woman still further surpris-
ed the commissioner by asking him 1t
he would not grant that favor of advanc-
ing her associate, another young lady
iu the same Office, who had been longer
in the service, was much more cempet-
Hept, and who needed the increase OF
salary much more than the person to
whom the advancement had been
offered, Commissioner ButterwOrth
had heard of unselfish people, but he
had never come across just such one
as this. He questioned his clerk, be-
came satisfied that what she had told
him was true, as we'll as interesting,
and, complying with the request, he
promoted the woman for whom the
promotion had been surrendered by
the young lady who gave it up. This
pleased a good many people and made
q few sad on account of the generous
one who had sacrificed her .chance for
advaucement: but to-day comes the
sequel to the story. Impressed with
the handsome behavior of the clerk,
who preferred her companion to her
self, Commissioner Butterxerth has
been looking over his force and has
found that other changes could be made
by which the clerk who had ckeerfully
stepped aside for another was not only
promoted, but obtained better place
than the one she would have had If she
had accepted promotion without quest
ion. This is so fortuitous q round of hap
DIV results that the example of unsefish-
ness is apt to be catching. The patent
office may turn out some notable saints
if this state of things continues.

querque-one out of here, one out of
Albuquerque and one out of Ration and
another gang will be put on next week

pected that all this work will be com.
pleted by the 18th of July.
The Postal company Is also running
q wire out of Denver to Albuquerque
and this will come to Ell Paso, giving
this city two postal wires to the north.
Only the finest make of duplex
will be used in the Office.
Mr.. Perkins. the new manager, is an
old operator and understands his busi-
ness thoroughly. He is also q friend
to Manager Steele of the Western
Union, 80 there will be no personal
between the managers OF
the two companies. but the citizens of
FL Paso will derive benefit from the
of two telegraph lines.
