Superintendent w. r. Martin OF the

fromsHoustOn where he has been en-
gagged for more than week with the
other supsrintendents and train masters
oft1e system in stringiDg the new u.
n. time card.
u Gao tell you now" said Mr.. Mar
tin, THE time in and out OF Fl Ease 70
be made on the new schedule, although
it does not go into effect until October
20 As you know, the numbers OF
trains have been reversed, and the
east bound now have even mum oers,
and the west bound odd.
THE NEW SCHEDULE.
"Train No. 10 to the east, formerly
arriving b re at 30 p. No.. will. begin
ming on the 18th. arrive in FL Paso at
ID. %. The new No. 9 west bound,
which leaves New Orleans at $50 a. m
reaches here each morning at 7:4O q.
M, city time, and leaves at $40.
sBy this schedule there are also four

1O:45 p. m. next day. No. will leave
New Orleans at 7:25 q. m. and arrive in

THE T. & P. CONNECTION.
'I received telegram from Assis
tant General Manager Everman of the
Texas and Pacific added Mr..
Martin in which he said
that his road was not ready at present
to cooperate with US in putting on
through trains. This means the prob
able abandonment of the Pacific coast
limited, but 1 think it altogether likely
that they are figuring on replacing
this train with the through train from
st. Louis via Ft. Worth, as suggested
IN the HERALD. This would probably
be run to connect here with our west
bound trains.
THE LIMITED TRAINS.
"The Sunset Limited cannot be put
on until the quarantine is raised. At
present we have no local traffic out of
New Orleans, because passengers from
that city into Texas are held in quar-
antine ten days before being allowed
to proceed"
In this connection, tie following has
been issued by S. F. B. Morse, assist
ant traffic manager:
To ticket agents and connections
Information having reached me from
New York that certain newspapers had
published articles setting forth that
passengers could not pass through
New Orleans from eastern points aud
were being detained by Texas quarsn-
tine officers at the state line, the mat
ter was reported to w. f. Blunt, M.
D., state health officer of Texas, who
sent the following telegram:
''AustiD, Texas, Oct. Ito E.
Hawley, A. G T. M, Southern Pacific
company, 349 Broadway. New York:
You are assured that there are no |!
quarantine restrictions against persons
from New York or other eastern points |
who pass through New Orleans with |
out stopping over. Our quarantine ap-
actually infected and not 20 persons or |
freight that merely pass through these |
places. w. T. BLUNT,
state health officer OF Texas"
This statement from the officer who |
has absolute charge of the quarantine |
in the state of Texas should set at rest
all rumors or reports that quarantine |

tn ally infected

AS to the recent wreck at Fedora,
do not think that the man seen by
Engineer Ramsey had deliberately
