Rise of a Railroad Man.

Kansas City railroad men are almost
q unit In expressing pleasure over the
promotion of E. o. Mccormick to the
position of passenger traffic manager
of the Southern Pacific system at San
Francisco, although reCretting his de-
parture from St. Louis, where, rs pas
senger traffic manager of the Big Four.
he made his mark. His resignation, it
is understood, takes effect April 1, and
he will at once proceed to San Fran
cisco to enter upon his new duties.
Mr.. McCormick's rise to one of the
highest railroad positions in the coun-
try and at q salary of 1000 a year
has only been accomplished by hard
work. He began at the lowest rung in
the business ladder, but step by step he
has mounted to the top and as the ira
ffic manager of the Southern Pacific
will exercise a power that has been
vouchsafed to few railroad officials. He
is we'll known in Kansas City, and he
and his affairs were popular themes
for discussion in railroad circles yes

Would Not Talk.

The veto yesterday of the bill by
Governor Savers, which had for it's OBJ
ject the consolidation of the Missouri,
Kansas and Texas and the Sherman
and Shreveport and Southern Railway
companies, was a topic earnestly dis
cussed in railway circles here today.
An effort was made to get an express
sion from the Katy's local legal de-
partment here this morning, but the
gentlemen who represent the company
in this capacity did not care to give ut
terance on the subject, as they had not
given the matter any attention, and
were not able to speak on the legal
phase of the situation. However, Mr..
Thompson said from swhat he knew OF
the case he was of the opinion that the
governors veto of the bill would great
ly retard contem plated railroad
building and construction in the state.
The matter he said would receive prop
er attention from the legal department
of the company at Dallas.
Other railroad people here condemn
the action of the governor. They claim
stop ali improvements that
the Katy has been figuring
on for months. especially the San An
tonic extension, which would, when
finished, complete the connection be-
tween that city and San Marcos.
Ex-Governor Hogg, who was here
last week, said he expected the veto,
but had little FARTHER to say on the
subject. It will be remembered that
he has been moving heaven and earth
to defeat the consolidation bill, and the
result of the veto by Governor Sayers
yesterday virtually crowns his efforts
in that direction. The final outcome
of the measure, says prominent rail-
road man today, will evidently have
the result of retsrding many railroad
contemplated in Texas

Lost Chickens.

Through some mistake crate con-
tanning seven chickens. was put of, the
G.. H.& S. A, train the other day at
Lobo. The crate remained on the
platform for some time and as no one
seemed to own it in that locality, they
were picked up and thrown into mat
erial car on a train headed this way:
They were discovered by men working
in the yards and an Investigation was
made but no one seemed
to know anything about them. Their
presence was reported to Agent Nc
Carthy and he ordered them to the
freight depot. There they were fed
and watered and the one which had died
en- route from exposure was removed
and buried according to the rites OF
the chicken church. They were load
ed on the east bound passenger
train yesterday afternoon and again
sent east, but as they we're not sup
piled with tickets their destination is
very uncertain.
