Sparks From the Engine.

Hostler Joe Lewis, who has been
laid up with the rheumatism for some
time past, reported for work at the G.

last night.
Yesterday was pay day on the Santa
Fe and there was an unusual hustle
among the clerks. This road issues
checks instead of coin to their en-
ployes, believing it to be q far safer
practice than to send car loaded with
money over the line.
There will be six sections of train

being made to receive them. There
will be great activity ia the yards for a
short time after they arrive and an ex-

will assist in handling the rush.

Another Effort.

| Traffic representatives of south
western lines reconvened in the Union
| Trust building yesterday for the pur-
pose of further considering the forma-
tion of an organization to succeed the
Southwestern Bureau. Articles of
agreement were adopted to become eff
fective July Is, 1899, and to continue
in effect subject to thirty days notice
thereafter of intention on the part of
any member to withdraw therefrom.
The arrangement provides for
monthly meetings for the purpose of
interchanging views and advising as
to changes in rates, rules, regulations,
and divisions, which it might be desir-
ed to effect, from time to time. The
organization will continue the publica-
ton of Inters tate Texas tariffs as here
tOfore. covering traffic subject to the
purview of the agreement, which is the
same as that formerly embraced by the
Sou western bureau.
The conduct of the committees af-
fairs has been placed in charge of a
secretary, to which position George
w. Gale has been elected. The agre e.
ment was reached that the committee
would hold its first monthly m Getting at
Eureka Springs on July rs.
The weighing and inspection bureau
will be continued.

Another Pee Gee Connection.

A dispatch from Little Rock says:
s'The fact that Mayor J. A. Woodson,
of this city, has been granted vaca-
tIon is generally known here, but the
further fact that he has gone to New
England to finance big railway
schem of great interest to southwest
Arkansas and northeast Texas has not
yet been made public.
Mayor Woodson is receiver of the
Southwest Arkansas and Indian Ter
ritory railroad, now in operation. from
Smithton, on the Iron Mountain, to
Pike City. Pike county, distance of
about thirty miles. This short line it
is now proposed to change into system
connecting and operating with the

Company at Arkansas City.
The main line will be 208 miles in
length with branch to Little Rock
from Fordyce, on the Cotton Belt, sew

to Hamburg, of system being $40

At McGehee the road will connect

A6OOD SHOWING
The Texas & Pacific Makes a Good
Showing For the First Six Months
OF the Present Year.

One of the many difficult things on
this earth to do Is to get a railroad Of
fetal in a town the size of Ell Paso to
tell the amount of business done by his
road each month. For some reason or
other they consider it crime to reveal
q secret of this kind and when a report
er is erdeavoring to obtain Information
of this kind he is at hard work and
there is no question about it.
Yesterday the reporter approached
q Texas 81 Pacific official and question
ed him as regards the amount of
freight business done last month at this
point by the line that he represents.
He lodged the question as often as pos
sible and finally said that it was
against the rules to give out such in
formation:
You can say without any fear of
contradiction. said the official, "that
the Texas & Pacific is over 100000
ahead on the first six months of this
year over the same period
last year, and, by the way,
last year was the most pro6tab BILE year
the company has ever experienced.
The company put an awful amount Of
money into improvements this year
and the roadbed now is one of the finest
in the southwest.
He admitted that freight business
WAS a little slack at present, but said
that this condition would give them q
chance to get their rolling stock in
condition for the fall rush.
