it was to interfere aud prevent the

vince and duty of the state to
watch over and prevent the
development of political growths which
are likely to b. prejudic'"l TO the pub

fere, private individuals are justified
in assuming shat there is ing

they may treat with it in the character

Speaking to thu question of state

was said by the supreme court of the

departments give notice to the world
that county within the territorial

lists with the full power OF contracting
can it be that a purchaser cannot in

rest on him to traverse the limits of

If any wrong has be done to the

Biggest Waiting Room.

The New York Central is expanding
$500, 900 on the Grand Central station
to New York, aud when the work OF
reconstruction is completed the wait
ing room will be the largest in any
railway station in the world. This
room will be 200 feet long by 100 feet
wide and so feet in height. All the pas
seneer and baggage business of three
roads is to be transacted in it. 1t will
occupy nearly all the space at the
south end of the present train shed.
The entrance will be in Forty
street. through a foyer 45 by 35 feet.
There are to be two rooms for women,
one "a feet square and the other 80
feet by 90 feet, Just off the rotunda
there Is to be a general waiting room,
80 by 80 feet. A smoking room SO by 80
feet is also provided.
The biggest Chicago waiting room
would merely occupy ono corner of
this space. In fact, the waiting
rooms OF nearly all the railways that
run into Chicago, Boston, Philadel-
phia is Buffalo. if put together, would
not occupy much more space than the
new one nearing completion. In order
to enable passengers to get direct to
the trains without passing through the
rOtunda access will be had through the
present incoming station on the east
through vestibule ten by eight feet.
and from the west in Vanderbilt ave-
nue. through foyer IS by 81 feet. Tie
new station will be five stories high
and the entire structure is to be fire
proof. Nineteen trains can occupy the
shed at one time,

MuSi PHY In.

The employees of the Gulf, Colorado
and Santa Fe have received warning
that hereafter they must promptly pay
their doctor, coal, grocery aud other
bills, end an outs aud ng liquor &C
count will be regarded as sufficient
cause for dismissal. Garnishments will
also cause the dismissal of the EN-
pioye.
For several years the rule of the
Santa Fee has been that three garnish-
ments would be considered sufficient
cause for the dismissal of the unlucky
man in d. BIT. There have been cases
where hard working and faithful
railroad man has met reverses, sick
ness in bis family or other causes call
ing for an extra strain upon the pock-
etbOOk and some times not full time.
One popular Santa Fee fficial hes come
% the assistance of some one hard
pressed for money and has saved him
from his third and last garnishment.
The rule is a good one but occasion
ally but not often, an employe whom
the company cannot afford to lose is
garnisbeed for the third time. But
there are more ways than one of kill
ing a cat.

An Arkansas COurt-Martial.

In his volume of "Reminiscences, -
the late Gen. Winfield Scott tells this
story of a regular officers experience
with Arkansas volunteers:
A co1rt-martial, composed entirely
of volunteer officers, was assembled for
the trial of an orderly sergeant charged
with slabbing regular soldier. The
regular officer, being in command. had
loaned the court Macombs work on
court-martials, in order that some sys-
tenn might be observed in the conduct
of the trial. On visiting the court
room to see how they were progress
ing, the president of the court apolog-
lied for the doors being shut, saying
To at he knew the book said the court
should sit with open doors, but as the
weather was very cold they had VEN
tured to close them.
The prisoner had removed his coat
and in his shirt sleeves was walking up
and down the room, shaking his fist in
the witness face denying in forcible
language all that the witness had said.
and TO- bidding the court to enter it on
the record. The members OF the court
would interfere by saying: Nov,
John, don't, don't, we will make it all
right and other soothing express
siops. The court-martial room contain
ed jug of whisky. from which all
might i'm bibe a. pleasure, and the
members of the court, as we'll as the
prisoner, had pipes in their mouths.
The next morning after adjournment
the pr sident of the court came to the
commanding officer and said that John
had been found guilty, aud that he had
advised him to leave, and in an injured
tone he added: "Sure enough, he has
gone, and stolen one of our best
horses" This man was a strong can
ddate for the captaiucy of his COM
paoy, and was distinguished for having

The first step toward getting the
Pecos Valley railway out of the hards

and reorganizing the same, was taken
the other day when John S. McBeth
of Denver, representing the Me- camille
Trust company of New York, and A.

of the railway, appeared in chamb
before Judge II milton at Socorro.
The Mercantile Trust company, plain

pointment of Hon. A. A. Freeman of
Eddy as master to take proofs to up
hold the bill of complaint. It is Mr.
Campbeii's belief that no sale of the
road will be necessary, but should such
a step have to be taken decree will
be secured without delay aud the
construction of the extension from
Roswell will commence at once. Judge
Freeman and Mr.. Campbell have gone
to New York City.

The fact that the president of the
ST. Louis and San Francisco is one of
the most popular railway men in the
country is perhaps sufficiently shown
by the fact that everyone knows him
as dan Robinson''-even people who
never saw him. He is also said to be
the handsomest railway president in

saying. He has been in the business
for thirty-two years-ever since he
started as clerk in freig ht Office of
the Central Vermont when he was
nineteen years old. Three years later
he came west as.clerk in the mech anical
department of the Central Pacific at
Sacramento, and the twenty-eight
years since that have been spent en-
tirely on western lines, with the excep-
ton of five years-from 1880 to 1885
when he was with roads in Mexico.
Since 1880 he has been continuously
either general manager, first vice-pre-
