Sparks From The ENGINE.

Superintendent Hurley of the Santa
Fee was lin Silver City yesterday on
business.
Enrique Creel, vice president of the
chihuahua & Pacific Road, went north
yesterday morning over the Santa Fe
to Chicago. He will be gone about ten
days.
Tomorrow Auditor Conner will go
north to pay off the hands along the
line. 1t is predicted that he will have
a very hard trip of it, as this storm las
been very severe up there.
Railroad yards were in an awful:con-
dition last night and it was with great
difficulty that trains moved about. The
snow drifted to depth in some places
that the assistance of the shovelers
was necessary.
T. L. Hunt, commercial agent of the
S. P. Co., at Ell Psso, was in the city
yesterday. Mr.. Hunt is making a trip
over the line within his Jurisdiction
which ca tends to Yuma, Nogales,
Globe and Albuquerque. Mr.. Hunt is
not only vigorous representative of
his compsny's best interest, but is con-
verssnt with the resources of the
territory tributary to the traffic lines
within his Observation-Disclosures Star.

The Danger Signal.

Red in railroad service Is the danger
signal, and VII Il vaccination becomes
crimson and sore fro n the effect of the
poisonous points, the man who
owns that sore spot is particularly
dangerous. This fast was demopstrat-
ed in one of the railroad yards in this
city yesterday. A switchman had q
vaccinated arm and it was very pain
full indeed. He was walking around in
apparent agony when one of these in
dividuals known to modern civilization
as q 'josher" began striking at the in
famed arm. He did not seem DESTROYS
of hitting the sore but he merely want
ed to see how close he could come to
IT. All went we'll for q time and the
'josher" was repeatedly warned not to
touch the arm. Accidently he did
reach the sore arm with pref
ty stiff blow, and what fol-
lowed can better be imagined
than described. The man with the
lame arm seemed to forget all about it
in the anger which followed, and he
thumped the 'josher". in the latest
improved style. The bystanders look
ed with apparent satisfaction and ne
yer entered q protest. After the
switchms had given the 'josher" q
dose calculated to last until after the
holidays he told him to ''git"and ''git'
he did.

LINK AND PIN.
Studying Retaliation.

A Dallas special SAYS: An unpless-
ant surprise is likely soon to greet
many of the Texas railroads as a re-
suit of the injunction suit tried recent
ly in this city before United States Cir
cult Judge A. P. Mccormick and
which res ulted in the wiping out OF all
the commi ssion's rates made during
the last four years. The sudden ad-
vancinR of freight rates, approxim-
ately Is per cent over those wiped out
by Judge Mccormick. has displeased
the Dallas business community. A
spirit of retaliation has taken posses
sion OF many shippers. A conference
was held today to consider the matter.
The testimony given in behalf of the
roads in the form of affldavits was
carefully reviewed. Especial attention
was given to the sworn valuation of the
railroad properties in Texas. This
sworn valuation was compared with
the assessed valuation in various coun-
ties of the state. The difference was
surprising.

Brdniff Arrives.

Attached to the incoming passenger
train yesterday on the Santa Fe was a
special car containing Vice President
Braniff of the Mexican Central, his
wife, and son, and servant, they had
made the long journey from Liver
pool, England, to this point in some
thing less than month. They said
they had a very pleasant trip but that
they were very anxious to reach their
destination in the City of Mexico. The
party went south on the regular train
yesterday afternoon.

Cleaning Up.

The interior of the Santa Fee depot
was receiving the attention of the
swampers yesterday in anticipation Of
the arrival of the officials in few days.
The floors were scrubbed and the walls
polished. The windows were washed
inside and outside, and from an inside
view it may be said that the place
looks very respectable. The officials
are expected most any time.

Cambridge and the Poets.

Cambridge has been always the home of
poets-a nest or NURSERY of singing birds
1t has been said-ahd perhaps with a little
exaggeration-that Cambridge produced
the martyrs, while Oxford burned them,
and so it might be said that Cambridge
has cherished her poets, while Oxford
usually expelled them.
Clough and Matthew Arnold are happy
exceptions, but Shelley was sent down
from the university for airing his atheist
ical opinions, and the Jacobin Lander had
TO leave Trinity for firing gun across the
quadrangle at the windows of his opposite
neighbor, who happened to be Tory;
but as a matter of fact, nearly every Eng
lish poet worthy of the name who was at
a university at all was-for a time at least
"a member of one or another of the col
leges on the Cam. Chaucer's connection
with Glare (his ''Solere Hall') must, we
fear, be consigned to the region of ro-
nance, but Milton was undoubtedly at
Christ's, and his mulberry tree is still the
object OF attention in that charming little
garden-the loveliest thing in it's way in
all Cam ridge.-Blackwood.

In Need of More Tracks.

There were 200 loaded cars in the
Santa Fee yards at this point yesterday
for the smelter. They could not be
taken out as the tracks out there were
all filled with cars. There are not
enough tracks at the smelter to sup
ply the present demand and the switch
men are feeling the need of more
track room very badly.

Sunday Law Violators.

Violators of the Sunday law were
having their inning with the grand jury
Thursday evening and Friday morn
ing. Liquor dealers from the differ
ent parts of parish testified before the
jury and as a result large number
Of indictments were expected. The
familiar faces of those citizens who
are supposed to take their cocktail on
the Sabbath morning as well as on
other less sacred mornings were seen
around the room of the grand inqui-
sitors. From all appearances quite a
sum will be collected from Sunday
law violators to turned over to the
school fund after the usual fees have
been taken out of it.
Now that violators of the Sunday
law are to be tried by the court in
stead OF a jury OF twelve, 1t will be
the part of wisdom for every fellow
who has sold whisky on Sunday, to
plead guilty and take his medicine in
the most unobjectionable form.
There are many who believe that
under the former system it was i'm
possible to enforce the Sunday law,
but that now it will be an easy matter
for the officers to rigidly enforce this
unpopular statute. A large majority
of the people of this parish are op-
posed TO the Sunday law, but as law
abiding citizens they do not like to
see it violated with impunity as it has
been in the past.-Lafayette Gazette.

The work of swindling by army
contractors is coming to light. and
although the war with Spain has been.
short and sharp, it appears that the
contractors have had ample time to
gouge the government quite hand
somely. General Merriam instituted
an investigation at San Francisco the
other day and discovered that 1900
pairs of bad shoes had been issued to
one command together with | 100 de-
fective Springfield rifles and 200
bayonets, scabbards and cartridge
boxes. At Thoroughfare Gap, Va,
heavy rains which fell upon the camp
of the soldiers developed the fact that
their shoes were made Of pressed
scraps and brown paper, and as soon
as they got wet dropped from the
feet Of the soldiers. -0pelousas Cou-
