Preliminary Work.

The civil engineer Jose Vallarta, has
gone 10 the state of Oaxaca to COM
mence the preliminary work on the
new road that is to traverse the rich
region of the northeast state of Oaxa-
ca. This road, which will be of light
construction, will prove of great i'm
portance to the inhabitants of that
district and to commerce in general.
Starting from Kuiotepec, on the Mex
lean southern, the line will run along
the Quiotepec river, whose water rise in
the mountain range that divides the
low land of the Sotsvento coast from
the central tsble-lands and will touch
a number of important points in the
Cuica district until it reaches Tuxip-
pee As penetration road this will
be the first of it's kind and the only one
that from the nature of the country
can enter the Sierra Madres. Without
f,ltowing the course of the river it
would ne well-nigh impossible to con-
struct a track in that essentially noun
famous country. The road will touch
the coffee plantations E. Faro, Union
Iberica and Nayates, which will give
these important haclendas an
easy outlet for their product
which is considerable, and which Is

A New Departure.

Circulars were issued from the gen.
eral superintendent's office of the
Houston East and West Texas rail-
way yesterday announcing the fact
that on and after February
% the company will begin the
handling of a certain class of travel on
it's freight trains, under permit. This
is done especially with a view to as
sisting commercial travelling men in
getting over the road. Permits will
not be issued to women or children and
no accommodations except those of the
caboose will be provided,
The company will grant these per-
mits for reasons stated above and does
not encourage persons to use its freight
trains. Tickets will not be sold to
"blind sidirgs" nor to points where
trains will not stop for regular freight
business. Each permit will be good
only for train for which it Is issued and
with it is included a contract releasing
the com pany from all liability. The
innovation will be welcomed by the
travelling men and others doing bust
ness along the line.-Houston Post.

NOT YOUNG MERTON
His Brother Arrived From Hatch,
New Mexico, to InVeSti cate

H. Merton, of Hatch, N. M, was in
the city yesterday to endeavor to iden-
tify the remains recently found in the
foothills beyond Fort Bliss as those of
his brother who has been missing from
Ell Paso for more than a month.
Chief of police Lockhart wrote
Merton to come here to investigate IS
he was of opinion that thd body found
near Fort Bliss was that of the missing
man, for the two descriptions tailed
exactly. 1t was the purpose of the Of
ticials to hove the remains exhumed
for examination when Merton arrived.
This action, however, was found to
be unnecessary, for Merton obtained
evidence enough to satisfy him that
the remains were not those of his
brother but of another party, which
leaves no room to doubt that they were
those of the man missing from Fort
Bliss since Ian. Is.

ALL ON THE QUIET.
A Railroad Clerk Has a Very Ex-
citing Experience With TWO
Tramps-His Courage Failed
Him

A handsome young man employed in
one of the local railroad offices had an
experience last night about O'Clock
which he will not soon forget. He
had made arrangement with q young
lady to go out for a spin on bicycles.
1t was not arranged to meet in the par
lor of the young lady's residence, but
in the silvery rays OF the full moon
about block away from where the
young lady resided. The young man
was at the meeting point promptly on
time but the lady in the case was
little late. After waiting for about
fifteen m nutes after the time for her
arrival he concluded to leave his bike
and WALK past her residence and signal
her to come out, that he was waiting.
When he reached the place he observ-
ed her through a window in converse
ton with her papa and he concluded
that was the cause of her delay and
that he would return to where he
had left his wheel and await her COM
ing.
Here is where his trying experience
comes in. When he2got within short
distance of the wheel he saw two men
standing close by il. His approach
was unobserved by the two and he con-
cluded to do little detective work.
He stepped. behind shade tree and
listened. He heard them arguing
among themselves which way to take
it and the blood in his veins boiled for
q chance t) show his bravery. He re-
membered how the newspapers had
been talking about bicycle thieves aud
this was his chance to capture them
and make d name for himself They
started in the direction of the river
with the wheel in their possession.
He stepped quickly from his hiding
place aud approached the thieves very
rapidly: "Hey there, you men,"
he yelled when within short way 8
from them. 'tYou men have my BROTH
er's bicycle and l want both of you to
consider yours alves arrested right this his
minu' e. Hear that. you nasty fellows"
"Who the hell is your brother"
asked the heaviest of the two.
sob, my gracious, such rough talk, ="
chirped the would-bs officer with q
look of horror on his face. "You men
will get what you deserve when get
you in ia |"
"Say, Culley," said the one in pos
session OF the bike, in very grnf
Have you cigarette about YOU"
II have paper,' was the prompt re-
THAT will do. have tobacco"
They we're soon smoking together
and drifting in the direction of the
river. When at point close to the
ditch the young man called a halt.
He said they must go back to Jail. 1t
was an isolated spot in which this COM
IN and was made and the hobOes made
tn, bast of it. One of them grabbed
him By the coat collar and the other
by the legs and they swung him
around like the fans of a Kansas wind
mill in cyclone. His screams were
loud and pitiful and the mirth of the
hoboes was at a high pitch. They
bounced him around like rubber ball
until they were completely exhausted
and git.
1t is needless to say that the young
man obeyed orders and was soon re-
treating at rapid rate. His exper-
fence as policeman was short and ex-
citing and he will doubtless hereafter
tell his troubles to an officer.

was the victim not great while ago of
what he describes as the most contempt bic
outrage ever perpetrated upon a gentleman
in Louisiana. The outrage occurred in my
private Office, and / blush to say that
was an accessory before the act. You see,
this promoter bad been making himself
very free with the premises, and liked
especially to drop into our back Office,
where there was always bottle of good
rye on the sideboard. At first he only
Joined US on invitation, but finally ne
giided into the habit of helping himself
whenever he happened in, which averaged
about twice a day. One afternoon my part
ner, Billy, was in a confectionery store and
happened to see a lot of candy made in the
shape OF fantastic bugs, BEETLES, and liz
ards. It at once occurred to him that here
was 4 chance to entertain our unbidden
guest, so he bought a dimes worth of the
things and brought them to the office,
where he waited patiently until he heard
the promoters voice in the outer room,
and then emptied the collection in the bot
tie of rye. AS usual, he proceeded to help
himself to a nip, and was smacking his
lips when Billy wheeled suddenly around at
MS desk. You didn't drink anything out
of that bottle, did you?' he demanded
sharply. Why-er-yes. said the pro-
moter, looking startled. 'Why?' Good
heavens.' yelled Billy. I was using that
to preserve lot of bugs and lizards from
Guatemala! The right whisky is in the
cabinet
Our friend grabbed up the bottle, and
held it to the light, and there, sure enough,
was four-inch stratum of horrible look
ing blue and yellow monsters, all tang
led up together. oh, Lord' he gurgled,
turning ashy. Thought it taste dqueer,
I'm poisoned sure!' With that he shot out
of the office. We intended to tell him it
was only joke, but he got away too quick,
and about an hour later we received a visit
from a doctor who wanted to know exact
ly what kind of bugs were in the bottle.
He said Colonel -- was a very sick
man. We put him on, and he went away
snickering. That was the last we saw o.
the colonel, but he swears he will have OR
gore If he ever catches us outside of New

THE BABIES IN THE BLOCK.

(From the New York Commercial AdyertiSer)
Sure the more the merrier." said a big
Irishwoman, who had somehow strayed
into the Semitic neighborhood. She stood,
with bare fists on her hips, blocking her
doorway talking 10 young woman who
blocked the sidewalk with a new wicker
baby carriage.

ry about 'em. My sister has one an she
spends half her money in doctorin il. I've
seven, an they take care or each other,
bless 'em. an no worry at ALL"
The sidewalks and the street swarIned
with German-Jewish children, black haired
and pasty-cheeked, wriggling about like
eels. Those who were too young to walk
Topped around on the walks or in the gut
ters. Some were attended and some at
tended to themselves. One howIed con-
tinuously for half an hour at the door of
a cafe in the middle of the block. Pro-
cessions of children with babies in their
arms went up and down. Knots Of women,
with scattering fringes of babies, sat about
socially Wicker baby carriages, new and
resplendent, were propelled from end to
end of the block by small swarthy men,
whose pasty faces showed calm pride as
the people who owned no baby carriages
made way for them.
The babies in these carriages were like
images OF yellowish wax. They lay fiat
on their backs and stared indifferently at
the strip of blue sky overhead. One re-
jected its mothers offer of sip, of beer
from her glass, and turned dts eyes again
to the sky, with tired look. None OF the
babies in the carriages showed the slight
est interest in anything subcelestial but
gazed out of the narrow street as they
were wheeled up and down past the under
takers window, In which was n white
satin coffin of the smallest size.

Diamond Buyers, Complaints.
(From the New York Evening Post.)

American importers OF diamonds who are now
abroad angered at the way in which they are
treated by the diamond syndicate. They declare
they are compelled to remain abroad long be-
yond the time they afford to be absent from
their business, on account of the difficulty Of
negotiating with the who sell. The dia.
mond syndicate, they say, is the closest and most
independent in the world. Six men practically
own, and control all the producing diamond mines
in Africa. They mine they please and sell
what they please and when they please.
The, buyers in Europe say that the Office
hours of the syndicate are so short, and the mum
Der of buyers waiting is so large, that men grow
impatient at having to wait their turn. In the
meantime prices keep advancing, and everyone is
anxious to complete his purchases Since last
November the price of diamonds has gone up
40 per cent, of which 10 per cent has been added
