Railroadlng Up to Date.

Mexico is not to be downed in the
way of enterprise, and the latest is the
transfer of standard gauge cars from
the Intern ationRl & Great Northern at
Laredo onto the trucks of the National
and transferred again at this city to
the trucks of the Gulf, to be conveyed
to points near Tampico. This feature
in railroading is the result of some
hustling by the freight and passenger
representative, in Mexico, of the Inter
national & Great Northern road, 81. G.
Drinking, who has just returned from
the States, where he secured q big
freight contract for points in Tamauli-
pas. The necessary apparatus for the
swinging of the cars from one truck to
the other is being put in place for tn e
speedy transfer when the freight ar
rives.-Monterey Globe.

delayed No. 10 six and one-half hours.
It arrived here at 8 o'clock last night
with q good crowd of passengers.
Frank Brewer, who has been en-
ployed on tn e. p. & N. E. road ever
since the construction work commence
ed on this end of the line, ihas resigned
his position and will 60 to Williams,
Arizona, to work on the Santa Fe Pa

enough some time ago to have his left
hand painfully mashed while employed
as conductor, and since bis recovery
from the injury he has been employed

Saturday nights wreck on the South
ern Pacific railroad, as mentioned in
the Sunday Light, was the principal
topic of discussion among railroad men
yesterday. A train of twenty-seven
cars ran into q number of box cars
which we're coming from an opposite
direction. A remarkable incident was
that not q foot of rail was torn up-not
even q spike displaced. The trucks of
the cars were jammed together and
the bodies of the cars were hurled like
straw up an embankment of fifteen
feet, and about that distance from the
track. Tt is q miracle that the men
escaped as they did.-San Antonio
Light.

his villsinous work, the spotter. after
men he had reported would be releas-
ed, had the audacity to write letters to
the conductors offering to brand him
self as liar and deny the charges he
had already made against them for q
consideration of $500 from each of
them.
ga man of the caliber of this spot
ter needs watching" said prominent
railroad man yesterday. In my esti-
nation he is not to be trusted and 1t
looks very bad for railroad supposed
to be doing a legitimate business to
have such 4 pefarious character In
their employ. They employed him to
do that which was unmanly and which
they were ashamed to do themselves,
but as they are directly responsible for
the acts of their agents, the officials
must shoulder the burden of disgrace
which his acts have developed"
When asked IL the 0. r. @. was
going to lake any action, he said: 81
could not state positively, but there is
some talk of it. 1 sincerely trust they
will for the sake of the conductors VIII
the uuprincip pied whelp who, VIII le
posing as a man, was nothing less than
q monster"
The general sentiment on this end of
the line seems to be that hanging would
be too good s'or this "wolf in sleeps
clothing" and his existence in this
neck of the woods will, no doubt. be
made very pleasant from now on until
he is jsrked hence by his satanic ma
iesty to shovel coal on the Hades & Hot
line.

An Austin dispatch says: The
rumored determination of the bond
holders of the Missouri. Kansas and
Texas to throw that property into the
hands of federal receiver continues
q subject of considerable discussion
here. General Manager Allen, who
was here q few days ago, had nothing
to say to indicate that such q receiver

trary he declared that the charter for

Wreck on poncha PASS.

A bad wreck occurred Sunday after
noon on Poncha Pass. A cattle train
of seven or eight cars from Durango
ran away while going down the east
ern slope grade, the air brakes failing
to work. While no definite particu-
lars have been received it is known
the entire train was ditched and it is
reported that in five cars only two
head of cattle escaped death. about
forty head escaping out of the lot. The

HANGING TOO GOOD FOR HIM.
Such Is the Opinion of the Railroad
Boys Regarding the CoWard1y
Santa Fe Spotter.

The dirty work OF the Santa Fe spot
ter which was brought to light by yes
terday's Albuquerque Journal-Demo-
crat Is strongly condemned by railroad
men in all departments in this city
The work of this spotter, which result
ed in the release of several trustworthy
men, is by far, the most unprincipled
yet recorded. and the newspapers
along the line of the Santa
Fe railroad are, almost without eAcep-
ton, condeming the action of the Santa
Fe officials in releasing the men on
such unreliable evidence as the ''spot-
ter" furnished. This individual whom
the Santa Fe people employed as
'sspotter" played the part OF "a snake
in the grass" and obtained q free ride
from the men whom he had discharg-
ed by q later report, on
pretended poverty, friendship,
and old ACQUAINTANCE. After he had
obtained the favors asked for he re-
porte the men who had befriended
him, in consequence of which they
were discharged from the service of
the Santa Fee company. To complete

The contract for the extension of the

miles has been let to Geo. 8. Good &

Spokane, Feb. 20.--James Lacey, the
man who shot John Murphy in quarrel
on Mill street last July, was released
from the county jail Saturday morning
about ii o'clock. Ten hours later he lay
dying in the gambling room OF the Coeur
dAlcne saloon, shot through the body
with bullet from a revolver in the hands
OF William Abb.
Lacey never spoke after being shot. The
murderer fired two more shots at his vic.
tim, then turned the revolver toward his
own head and fired one shot, the ball
missing him and imbedding itself in the
wall OF the room. He then turned and
ran down the stairs. through the front
doors and west on Front street. He has
not been captured. Lacey died few
minutes after receiving his wound.

San Francisco, Feb. l9.--An angry wife,
jealous OF the attentions her husband paid
to other women, visited horrible revenge
on her sleeping spouse last night. She
procured bottle Of carbole acid and
poured it over his face and eyes while he
was asleep, and unless providence is kind
to John Montgomery the husband will
not look upon the fair sex again. His face
is frightfully burned and the eyesight will
probably be completely destroyed. After
doing the gruesome work the woman
poured the remaining contents Of the bot
tie down her throat, but there was not
enough Of the fiery liquid left to kill her.

Finance Of THE COUNTRY.
FUNDS ACCUMULATE RAPIDLY.
February Report OF the New York Clear
Ing House Banks-The Cash Reserve
the Largest for Years-Large Demand
for Money-Loans Increasing.
The Financier

New York, Feb. 20. The Nnancier
says:
The dopsts OF the New York clearing
house banks, according to their statement
OF February Is are within small per
eentage OF 5000, 100000. Their cash re-
serve is S25s, s,666,10O, the heaviest accuml-
lation OF funds ever reported by these
institutions. In fact, the cash balance Of
the United States treasury, including the
500, 100000 gold reserve, is only about
Sl4,000,000 above this figure. Considered
as a reserve il constitutes 2S.68 per cent
OF the enormous deposit total, OF $S4,-
373,S25 more than the 20 per cent which
is arbitrarily held against deposit liabili'
ties.
This is almost Sl0O00000 in excess of the
idle cash reported for the same week last
year, and reveals the remoteness under
normal conditions OF any probability that
money may 60 to an unusual figure, ow-
ing to the activity OF exchange transac-
tions and the sums required in the financ-
ing of new trusts.
The banks, to tell the truth, are ex-
hiDiting a degree of strength i'll the face
of present demands upon them that is
little short OF marvellous. Within the past
week, despite the increase OF $9,ll3,l 100 in
deposits, necessitating enlarged reserve re-
quirements OF over S2,250,0OO, their sur
plus reserve decreased only little over
81 100000. The gain in cash was due 10
deposit additions. Specie receipts were 3d.,
63I 900, mostly from the Pacific, and the
losses of legal tenders were about ~ ,JJTi3,
900. This shrinkage was due to ship
ments to interior institutions. But that
the demand forecasts a continued loss is
uncertain, as the interior banks are re-
markably strong in reserves and will prob
ably be able to supply their own needs
without calling on balances here.
The loan expansion of Ss,567, 200, judg-
ing from known conditions, ought to be
traced to stock exchange sources, espec-
tally with reference to securities returned
from abroad. But closer analysis of the
system indicates that special operations,
involving two or three banks at the most
have brought about the increases and de.
crcases. Thus the deposits OF one insti-
tuition have been swclled above 81 100000,
while it's loans are at least $5,000,00J
heavier.

Spokane, Feb. 20.-At $3.50 o'clock yes.
terday morning the eastbound passenger
train on the Great Northern railway was
wrecked on an alkali fiat eight miles west
of Wilson creek and los miles west OF

the spreading OF the rails, caused by the
accumulation Of a small pond Of melted
snow, which softened the roadbed and
permitted sag in the track. The engine,
the mail car and the baggage car were
burned. Three members of the traiu
crew were hurt. but not fatally, while
