The American Railway Association
meeting at Detroit has just adopted a
standard code of train rules. This action
has only been reached after several years
OF labor of a special committee OF the
association appointed to deal with this
question. From an operating standpoint
the final adoption OF uniform rules Ia one
OF the most important results which the
association has ever brought about.
For many years the railways have sur
tered serious Inconvenience on account OF
the different train rules in operation on
various ronds. In some instances signals
and rules governing the right of way Of
trains on one road have been diametrt-
cally opposed to those on another road
In the same territory. In the case of engi-
neers, firemen and conductors entering
the service of another company valuable
time has been lost in instructing them
IN the operating rules of the new road.

from new engineer confusing the read

Looking for "a Hardy ornnr. Tree.

An orange tree that will grow and bear
fruit as far north as st. Louis and Phil

Agricultural Department. The destruc-
ton of orange crops and groves in recent
years through frosts in northern Florida
directed the attention of Secretary Will

for the owners who have been suffering
financial loss He has been superintsnd-
ing the crossing of the Florida orange and
the Japanese trifoliate. a hardy variety
of fruit. and now has several thousand OF
the hybrid plants. which will be set out
during the present spring. The experts
believe that the new orange will survive
frost and a moderate amount of cold, and
are confident that the experiment will re-
suit in producing trees in which the ex-
cellency of the Florida orange will be
combined with the hardness of the Jap
anese plant. II the experiment succeeds
the department will materially assist in
reviving the orange industry not only in
Florida but in other southern states. and
will at the same time assure the orange
eaters Of an unfailing supply.

BLACK JACKS GANG
Three of the Desperadoes We're In
BlSbee Recently.

Last Sunday, says the Bisbee Orb,
three meek-looking cowboys rode into
the o X Corral and left their horses
and saddles; in the evening they came
back aud asked for horses being &C.
companied by two others, who ask ed
Mr.. Adams for two saddle horses, and
saddles, at the time stating they were
going down to the Erie ranch with the
other boys and would be back in q
few days. They have so far failed to
return. Yesterday q rancher came in
from in the vicinity of the Chiricahuss
and told Mr.. Adams that the cowboys
were out there and that they sent word
to Mr.. Adams that they would return
the animals and saddles when they got
through with them.
The men, after leaving here, never
went near the Eric ranch, but went
direct to the rendezvous of Black Jacks
gang in these mountains. From q re-
liable source we learn the gang has
received several additional members
from Texas recently, and the two who
so kindly appropriated Mr.. Adams's
horses are of them.
The gang at present are said to be
located near the Mulberry place in the
Chiricahua and number seven or eie ht.
The Southern Pacific have been
warned of the presence of the gang in
that vicinity and as consequence have
put armed guards on all passenger
trains running from Tucson to Ell Paso.
The movements of the outlaws will
be watched, but 1t will not be q sur
prise to hear of their making raid or
holdup in the near future.

with assault with intent to murder.

The officers in charge of the county

about the streets and when taken be-
