Sparks From the Engine.

| Ed. Hsiles, engineer on the G. II. &
s. A., who has been visiting friends In
Houston for some time past, return ed
yesterday. He reports everything
| lively in the railroad business at that
| point.
The gross receipts of the Interocea-
| mic railway company for the week end
ing April 1. 1899, were S72, 7S.
against S72, 232, 46 for the corresponding
week in 1885, showing an increase of
S27O.32.
It is stated that the Mexican South
ern has purchased the railroad running
from Tehuacan to Esperanza, which
was owned by the heirs of Gen. Manuel
Gonzales. This report comes from
Puebla and is said to be authentic.
The approximate earnings of the
whole Mexican Central system for the
fourth quarter of March, 1899, were
$4I7, 6S1, against 1899. 300 for the cor
increase of SIS, 3S1. The increase for
the month is $1O5, 621.
The gross receipts of the Mexican
railway for week No. IL of 1899 were
S95, 28O 81, against 1872, 8O9.38 for the
47O.99. For the thirteenth week of
1909, $50, 935.25, against $50. OS9.47 for
the same week in 1898, a gain of Sc, S45.-
IS.
It was reported yesterday that q
was preparing to do dirty work on
wholesale basis. The news spread
rapidly and it is safe to say that at
o'clock In the afternoon there were but
few railroad men in Ell PasO who was
not'aw are of the rumor of his presence.

Shine 1t Up.

Ibid you notice that the Santa Fe
depot has not been painted recently?'
chirped loyal night of the lamp.
Snow, let me tell you what to do.
Simply call the attention of Assistant
Superintendent Aver to the fact that
the people on this end of the line
would like to see little improvement
made on the depot and L will guarantee
you it will be done. l don't believe
the citizens of Ell Paso think the bust
ness, the Santa Fee are doing out of
here at present require any better
facilities than they have here at pres
ent but do think there SD Guild be lit
distinguishing p aced on the psssenger
depot. Mention the matter to Mr..
Aver and l feel satisfied that the de-
pot will be improvej.''
AS it is left to Mr.. Aver it need
less to say that it will be done. There
has been many questions asked of late
why the Santa Fee passenger depot has
been neglected. Their transfer bust
ness alone warrants better recognition
than exists here. No road leading in
to Ell Paso is receiving as much favor
as is the Santa Fee and in the face of
such fact they should make their
property on this end of the line worthy
of admiration. No one can deny the
fact that the present passenger depot
needs little fixing up and what it
needs the most is an overcoat OF paint.

IT'S DANGEROUS.
Running Through the Yards At
Fast Rate Is Not Safe-A Pointer
From One Who Claims to Know.

81 noticed in the HERALD short
time ago." said an engineer this morn
ing, san article concerning fast run
ming at the terminals, aud [ am more
than pleased to say that L entirely coin
code with the views expressed in your
paper. [ an d com paratively new ar
rival at this point, having been kere
wife's health and was formerly employ
ed on the G. B. & Q. route, snd we were
under the strictest orders on that line
re garding our speed while we were rum
ming over switches ard frogs.
Some engineers persist in making fast
time in dangerous places, but L had all
such desires knocked completely out o f
me in the yards at Danvllle. illinois,
some years ago. l was switching at
the time in the yards at that point and
the flyer came through little late.
She jumped the track at a switch and
we were picking up the dead and
wounded for two hours after the &C.
cident happened The engineer at the
throttle of the limited was considered
one of the most careful men in the
panv, but he exceeded the
limit Flowed him just once too often.
When an engineer can get over bunch
of switches and boys safely, going at the
rate of 80 miles en- hour, he can con-
sider himself lucky man. 1t is
usual thing to see the switch engines
off the track in the yards and it is very
seldom that they ever go much over
five miles an hour. If an engineer
could save five minutes in mile run
ming through the yards at fast rate,
! GO not think it would b proper for
him to risk the human freight in his
charge and make up the time"
