WILL WEIGH A MOVING TRAIN.

The Southern Pacific company is
having constructed 10 its freight yards
at San Francisco an automatic device
or machine for weighing freight cars
that is calculated to effect a big saving
in time and expense. 1t is necessary
that all loaded freight cars, before
leaving the yard en- route to their desti-
nation, should be carefully weighed,
and the sy stem now in vogue requires
the weighing of each car on scale,
the levers and weights OF which are
adjusted by hand. The new automatic
device will weigh and record the
weight of each car as the moving
train passes over the platform.
AS the first pair of wheels of car
roll upon the scale they will set in mo-
ton a set of wheels having figures
upon their outer rims. When the car
is entirely upon the scale the figures
are brought in line and show the exact
weight of the car. As the first pair OF
wheels pas off the scale they cause 3
hammer to fall and the hammer causes

SANTA ZEE CIRCULAR.

A Topeka, Kansas, special gives the
fOllowing:- Ripley OF the
Santa Fe, has issued the following CIR
cular as to personal interests OF otlc GERS
or employees in outside matters, or H.
vestments alone the line:
"FIrst-'Fhe entire working time OF
all employees is paid for by the com
pany, and must be devoted to its inter
ests. No officer or employee will be
permitted to engage in other business
occupying any part of his time, or re-
curing his attention, without the eX-
press sanction of the undersigned IN
writing.
'Second-It is also manifestly i'm
proper that officers or employees nav
ing charge Of or influencing the max
ing of rates, the purchasing or ORDER
ing of material, or the distribution OF
| equipment, should have any private
investments or interests which may in
any manner affect sthe absolute neut-
rality with which all patrons of the
| road must be treated, CT which may
even give rise to suspicion that such
neutrality is not observed. No emplo-
zee is justified in occupying position
in which his private interests may con-
| flict with his official duty.
| ''Third-It is realized that employees
must invest their savings somewhere.
and that, in general, they can do so tC
the best advantage along the lines OF
| the company, because of their knowl
edge and contiguity, and it is not de
| sired to discourage such investment.
except on the part of those mentioned
in paragraph and in cises where such
investment may be affected by theii
official action.
"Fourth-Officers or employees al
ready having obligations or invest
men,s of the character herein describ
d,sand which cannot be disposed OF ex-
cept at sacrifice, will report the same
to the general manager of the road on
which they are employed, for his in
| formation and consideration, and the
latter will forward the same to the un-
| dersigued, with his recomme ndatiOn in
| the premises"

AN OPTION ON THE OCCIDENTAL.

Hugh Tudor Richards, the former
general manager of the Sonora rail
way and the present holder of an IT.
rigation concession for orange lands
near Hermosillo, the capital of Sonora,
has secured an option on the Occidental
railway of Sinaloa: of which Messrs.
Sebastian Camacho and Robert X.
Symonds are the principal owners.
This railroad runs from the Port OF
Alfalfa on the Gulf of California to
Culiacan, capital of the state of Sina-
loa. There is also fine line of coast
ing steamers which ply between - ltata
and Agl abampO, Perihuete, Mazatlan
and Lapaz. Mr.. Richards left about
the middle of April for the east Tor the
purpose of placing these properties
with a big syndicate. The Intention
of the syndicate, if it buys, is to COM
plete the road to Durango, and al so to
make its port terminus IN the harbor
recently discovered by Col. Wrotnosky,
twenty miles south of Altata, at the
new mouth of the Culiacan River.

DEATH OF GEORGE H. KALTEYER

A telegrahpic dispatch was received
this morning at IL o'clock by Mr.. Geo.
j. F. Schmidt, of the firm of Kalteyer
& Son., conveying the sad news of the
death of Mr.. Geo. II. Kalteyer, the SEN
ior member of the firm, at 10 O'clock
this morning, in the German hospital,
Philadelphia, from the effects of sur
gical operation. His wife, son, two
daughters and son-in-law were with
him at his death bed.
Mr.. Kalteyer was born and reared in
San Antonio and was educated in St.
Mary's college and later took his phar-
maceutical degree at the celebrated
Heidelberg university in Germany. For
years after returning to San Antonio
and assuming the management of his
fathers business in San Antonio he has
been one of our leading and most pro-
gressive citizens, foremost in every
thing that would rebound to the ad-
vantage of San Antonio. He was the
founder of the Alamo, Cement works,
and the discoverer of the process by
which the grade of cement manufac-
tured by this company became known
the world over as the first grade of
all cements used in the building trade.
He was one of the originators and pro-
moters of the Lone Star brewery, was
a subscriber to the bonus of the 1. and
G.. NJ, Southern Pacific and Arkansas
Pass railways for this city, was the
promoter and president of the San An
the Business Mems club, and in fact
leading factor in every enterprise for
this citys welfare.
His political career was of the bright
| est. He served several terms as al
derman under Mayors French, Gala
CHAN and Paschal, and was chairman
of the most important committees. He
was also member of the leading social
organizations, as the Casinos, Beetho-
ven, ETC., and has been several times
proposed as candidate for mayor,
which honor, however, he steadfastly
declined.
The funeral arrangements will be
announced tomorrow.
