The yard crew at Captain are tn;
recipients of very substantial raise
of salary, beginning the first of the
year. The E. p. e n. E. has a reputa.
ton of being generous and it is de-
served.
| The G.. H. passenger train this morn
ing consisted of four day coaches and
two sleepers, besides the baggage
| mail and express cars. The train
was filled to it's fullest capacity and the
passengers were mostly destined fol
Ell Paso to attend the Carnival.
Employees in the car department OF
the G. H, shops have just found out
| that one of their number married the
other day. Miguel Bustillos is Pop
! ular member of the car departme mt
force and his fellow workmen are de-
lighted to hear of his wedding, even
if he did slip away and marry on the
sly IS The informant could not give
the name of the bride.
Old Glory flops proudly from the
high pole in the G. II. yards today, at
testing that the G. H. railroad men
are for the Carnival. There are num-
erous poles in town that are still pro-
truding upward into space as bare as
the heads in the front row at vau-
deville theater. This should not be so,
especially during the Carnival. If
you can't get flag run up piece of
bunting
The uniform of Conductor Seamands
of the G. H. was sent down to him at
Sanderson last night. The cause of
this action is that he was out on the

selected as the conductor to accom-

cursion in from Sanderson tomorrow.

T. & P. CARNIVAL TRAINS.
The special train on the T. e p. for
the purpose of bringing people to the
Carnival is travelling on the schedule
time of No 5, the train which has so
long been failing to reach Ell Paso in
due time, 7:20 city time. The regular
train is about four hours late, ehnce
it will get in along towards midnight.
Both trains are just as full of peopel
coming to the Carnival as they can
be. There was report talked on the
streets this afternoon tnat the SpeclaI
on the T. e P. had ben held up and
the passengers robbed somewhere this
side of Big Springs. but an official of
the road in this city who was kind
enough to telegraph inquiries in regard
to the reported hold up assures the
Herald that there is no truth in the
rumor.
TICKET SCALPERS AT WORK.
Street ticket scalpers were the first
people to show up on the streets this
morning but from the maneuvers of
several railroad men this afternoon it
looks as iw they will have to fold up
their tents and move on.
The railroads have not offered OBJ
jections to the operations of perma-
nently established ticket brokers but
are objecting to transient men operat-
ing on the streets.
officers of the Santa Fe and Texas
and Pacific roads took the matter up
this afternoon and will lapply to the
city authorities to move these fellows
out of town. They will only ask that
the street scalpers be forbidden to oper-
ate on the side walks and temporary
places during the present week. Moth
ing had been done when The Herald
went to, press but it is thought that
the sca1pers will be ordered off the
streets before night.
