READ WELL, BUT NOTHING in 1T.
No improvements Will Be Made On
This End of the Santa Fe For
Some Time to Come.-An Official
Talks

"That article in the morning paper
about the extensive improvements
which are tn be made on this end of
the Saota Fee line," said an official of
that road Yesterday, reads very we'll
and would be good thing,
II true, but the fact Is
there is nothing in 1t. The
truth of the matter is that the present
facilities on this end of the
to the demand, and how foolish the
company would be to carry out the pro-
gram printed in the morning paper
when it will be only q few years when
all railroads entering Ell i'asO will
unite and construct q union depot that
the town can be proud OF. A year and q
half ago when q committee of Ell Paso
business men waited upon the officials
of the various roads leading into this
point with q view ito having
q union depot constructed,
the Santa Fe people said
then that they did not feel the neces-
sity of contri butinR to the enterprise,
but that they would do it if their as
sistance was necessary to bring the
movement to q successful termination.
When Huntington Of the Southern
do he answered that advices from Ell
Paso satisfied him that the present
facilities at this point on the line were
sufficient and then aud there the move
ment died and has not since been re-
vived.
"Our facilities at Albuquerque"
continued the official, ''are entirely in
adequate and an extension of the
yards and q larger passenger depot
will be necessary at that point within
the next year or 60. Our main line
touches that point and we have three
divisions out of there, and our facili-
ties at tn at place should necessarily b e
far better than here. Our present
round house is plenty large enough for
the busia ess of this end aud am sa-
tisfied that the company will not en-
large it any time in the near future"
When asked about the possibility OF
the Mexican Central, the Santa Fe and
the Texas & Pacific going in to-
gether and building q union depot, he
eaid that they might sometime in the
future, but that he never expacted to
live to see it, and that he was good on
this earth for the next fifty years.
A Texas & Pacific official when ask
ed regarding the matter said that it
was possible for such an agreement to
existbetween the roads mentioned with
out him knowing anything about it, but
that the first he bad heard of it was
when the reporter told him.
From the foregoing it would seem
that Ell Paso will have to be eatisfe d
with the present conditions. as far as
the railroads are concerned, for some
time to come.

A Wild Rumor.

The train on the Mexican Central
due te arrive on this side of the river

bad heard that there were several
killed while another said that he had
heard that the number killed and
wounded numbered 80. Before shutdown

noon that Otis policy in the Philip
pines was the same as the policy of
the king in the song, who marched his

LETTER AT HAND.
Rev. Jean Berger Now
Knows Result of
Hearing.
APPARENTLY NOT DISTURBED.
Two Masses Celebrated and
Both Have a Large
Attendance.
APPARENTLY NOT DISTURBED.

North Brookfield, Oct. S-Rev. Jean
Berger has received from the ecclesi-
astical authorities of the Springfield
diocese a formal letter of Introduction
and also the ecclesiastical censure.
This is the most severe penalty infiict-
ed by the church of Rome with the sin
gle exception of communication.
It contains the formal suspension
which the French clergyman incurred
several days ago ipso facto. At that
time he received notice that he was
suspended ipso facto if he celebrated
mass the next day. This he did, ignor-
ing entirely the canonical warming, and
the letter which he received yesterday
is the direct result 1t is merely for
NAL communication as Rev. Jean Ber-
ger was in reality suspended from exer-
cising his priestly functions as soon as
he had celebrated mass after receiv-
ing the former letter.
But the ecclesiastical censure is an
other thing 1t is the most abhorred
penalty of the Catholic church, except
communication, and besides the
rights that it takes from priest. puts
him in deep disgrace before the world.
The wrong doing that merits such pun
lshment must, according to the church
dogmas, be grievous
But all this the Rev. Jean Berger
does not seem to mind in the least He
celebrated his customary two masses
this morning, one at Depot hall at s
o'clock, and the other in the town hall
at 10 o'clock The high mass drew a
large congregation, renewed confidence
apparently having been gained from
the stand taken by the priest to his
supporters regarding Wednesdays pro-
eeedings in Springfield. The Spy's
story this morning threw new light on
this part of the rebellion and now the
people in general believe that the cler-
gyman was tried before full curia
instead of having an interview with
one priest, FIR. Ganeau, as he repres-
ented. Surprising that he would say
something on the matter several peo-
pie came from other towns out of GU
riosity. He merely told about the start
ing of the new church which is to be
built. During the last few days a con-
siderable excavation has been made
and the dissenters are enthusiastic
about the edifice
One thing that Rev. Jean Berger has
said that has proved food for refiec-
ton is that he is perfectly willing to
leave North Brookf1eld on one condi-
ton. This condition is that Bishop
Beaver send priest to the separatists
after which the strange clergyman will
look for another opening.

by high authority that the trouble

Of Chicopee is practically at an end
That the Polish priest who is situated
there told his parishioners a short time

turn to the church.
If Rev. H. ]. Wrenn, pastor of St
Josephs church knows anything about
the letter which Rev. Jean Berger re-
ceived yesterday, he made no mention
of it today although the parishioners
expected to hear something relating to
