Sparks From the Engine

Geo. A. Anderson, clerk in the Joint
Office of the Santa Fe Southern Pacific
at Deming, went out yesterday to
Arkadelphia to spend Christmas.
w. b. Thomas, q brakeman who has
been working out of San Marcial for
two or three months, was arrested In
Ell Paso last week and taken into Tex
as to answer to charge of murder
Las Vegas Optic.
A. A. Penwell narrowly escaped
having his thumb cut off at the Albu-
querque shops while working on the
new furnishings for the large engine
rooms. He was incapscitated for the
day but will undoubtedly. have the
member saved.
The large engine rooms at the AL
buquerque shops are undergoing in
provements in the shape of a partition
between the fre-places and the en-
gines. When complete this will make
one of the cleanest and neatest engine
rooms in the west.
The approximate gross earnings of
the whole system of the Mexican Cen
trail railway during the second quarter
of this month were 1881, $500 against
1905, 524.O for the came period in 1898,
showing an increase of S26, 351.O 90. To-
tai increase in two quarters of Deem
Der. 1899, s36, 10000.
Mr.. Mccormick told the Chicago
passenger meeting that there was no
compact between the Southern Pacific
and the Santa Fe on California traffic,
and hat the Southern Pacific was de-
sirous of dealing fairly and impartially
with all the western lines, Mr.. Nichol-
son also said that the Santa Fe and
the Southern Pacific were not arrayed
against the field, as has been the i'm
preston for some time.

1.-THE Inspired
Section BOSS''
Written for the HERALD.

It's many years I've done this
thing of walking track alone.
I'm getting very weary>and longing fol
home.
The company pays the wages, it's my
| self that signs the roll,
For counting ties and gauging track and
| picking up spare coal.
| Why can't l ride Pullman and smoke
| the best cigars?
Is what has always been mysdream
| when gazing at their cars.
l don't see any use in me q walking
track In rains,
And putting down torpedoes.and flag.
cling different trains.
It's bad enough in desert sun. with
Mexicans galore,
And sleeping in stack 'of. straw with
out sroof or door.
But when I'm asked to PACK a'rall
which weighs q ton or more,
I think it's time to draw the line and
bid them eau Revoir."
I've saved three hundred dollars and
with that I'll II AXE hedge;
I'll plant it in Jarillas, in placer or
in ledge.
If the gold is way down deep in'the
bowels of the earth,
It won't make any difference, I'm used
to Sand and dirt.
A working on the section handling
powder, drills and spikes,
Will help me through a working on
some big and paying strikes.
And when I get the nuggets that look
so sleek and bright,
I'll not then be thinking of the.hand
car and switch light.
Nor of the ties and broken rails requir-
ing lots of tact
A spiking and drilling and a pulling
in the slack.
The boys at the section house, and the
''hight operator" too,
VIII share a slice OF my good luck, I'll
not hold out q sou.
The weird and dismal, desert plain will
then look bright to me.
And old familiar scenes around won't
seem as 'uster' be.
If the "widder" at the boarding house
has not been tied as yet,
I'll call around and share myegold, and
she'll be mine, you bet.
Now just you watch me from this on
and keep me in your mind,
For when I'm on returning cars, 1t
won't be on the "blind."
Just eye the Pullman sleeper, If she
don't get in the ditch,
And, if you find me whereabouts, it's
sure I've struck 1t rich.
There is no beating round 1t. "get
there" surely must,
And when I'm off you'll hear me shout,
''Jarillas! Yes, or bust"

Signal System.

Before long it is probable that the
Santa Fe railroad between here snd
Denver will be equipped with what Is
known as the block signal system.
This is designed to prevent collisions
between trains and ia said to be sup
erior to any other now in use. The
Rio Grsnde company announced some
time ago that it intended putting in
the system on its line between Grand
junction and Newcastle and 1t may be
that this method of signalling will
come into general use on the railroads
all over the west.

Big T. And p. Passenger Traffic.

The Texas and Pacific is doing big
east end passenger business. Six
heavy trains over the road passed be-
tween Fort Worth and Texarkans yes
terday, three of the upper division and
three of this division. They went in
to Texarkana loaded to the full capaci-
ty of the equipment. If the weather
had been fair the road could not have
accommodated the crowds, as at least
20 per cent were deferred from travel
ing owing to the inclemency of the
weather. The road expects at least
four big trains between Fort Worth
and Texarkana today.

HUNTING FOR A WIFE
A Railroad Man Who: Is Making a
Thousand sMi1e Trip To Turn
Back a Bride OF Two Months.

About the twentieth of October
only two short months ago-George
Beaumont, material clerk In the Office
of the Globe, ella Valley and Nor tb ern
roa1 at Globe, was married to a charm
ing girl at DeminR.
Beaumont is likeable chap, and a
man standing we'll with his employers.
he paid attention to business and was
considerations in his work.
His bride was young lady OF
French parentage who formerly lived
in Kansas City, and who for many
months had had charge of the news
stand in the big Deming depot. Many
travellers remember her attractive face
and fascinating manner.
After the marriage all did not go
we'll with the Beaumonts, and finally
the wife decided that she wanted to
come to Ell Paso to visit Miss McKie,
q friend of hers. This was last Satur-
day, and the next day she came down
on the Santa Fe.
After her departure, her husband
discovered certain letters which
seemed to show that she bad come to
Ell Paso to meet an old sweetheart, and
that this sweetheart had always been
the man of her choice; that, indeed
the marriage with Beaumont was one
of spite.
The husband, thoroughly aroused,
came on to Ell Paso on Wednesday and
found his wife here. She declared she
had no intention of meeting the old
flame. The husband discovered, how
ever, that she actually had had q
meeting with him here.
Finally a conference between tn e
three was arranged Thursday morning,
and it was agreed that night that the
man in the case should return to Kansas
City for good and all. and never see
the wife again and that Thursday |
night also Mrs. Beaumont should re-
turn to Der husband and all would be |
IN their future happiness.
But when Thursday night came |
neither the wife nor the stranger lover
could be found by Mr.. Beau
mont. The next morning in
quiry at the Texas and Pacific depot |
developed that no such couple had gone |
out on that line, but a careful descrip-l
ton of a couple which had left for
Kansas City over the Santa Fee seemed
to confirm the frenzied husbands
worst suspicious, and he, too, decided
to go on to Kansas City and left last
night over the same road bent on
winning back his wife.
Mrs. Beaumont's people are said to
be prominent in Kansas City socially.
The outcome of the love chase is
awaited with interest by friends of
both people.
