With him was captured a trunk con-
tanning 20 pounds of opium valued at

Tacoma to Oakland. The authorities
believe that Burton is connected with
the gang that for some time has been

Collector Patterson at Portland, telling
him that a trunk that had been checked

NEW ROAD TO ST. LOUIS.
Report That Santa Fe Is Negotiating
For st. Louis and Hannibal.

Hannibal, Mo-, Feb. I'm railroad
circles here it is rumored that the Atchi-
son, Topeka & Santa F'e railroad has
been negotiating for the purchase of the
St. Louis & Hannibal railroad, and may
acquire it. The latter road is eighty-slx
miles long and extends from Hannibal
to Gilmore, where connections are had
with the Wabash for ST. Louis.
The Santa Fe has been considering
an entrance into St Louis for a long
time, and by the construction of line
from some point north of here on the
Chicago and Kansas City division of
the road to Hannibal, thence securing
the ST Louis and Hannibal in addition
to building thirty-mile strip from Gil
more to ST. Louis, the desired entrance
could be obtained. Engineers of the
Santa Fe were surveying in this local
ity last summer, but not much atten-
ton was paid to their work at the time.

FIRE AT RINCoN.
Santa Fs Depot and Harvey House
Burned to the Ground.

The two-story depot hotel and Har-

to the ground last week. The fire or1gl-
mated in the kitchen, and spread so
rapidly that very little of the valuable
furniture could be saved. There is no
fire service in the town, and that at the
hotel was very ineffective.
All the men on the place assembled
and by great effort kept the fire from

The Ell Paso Herald says: THE wage
question which is now before Manager
Van Week, will. in all proba bility, be
settled soon. The demand for raise
of wages by the conductors and train
men on the Southern Pacific comes
from all the employees in those two de-

will be affected by the outcome makes
it doubly interesting. NIessrs. Lee and

for passengers for the City of Mexico
to change cars at Ell PaSo. A Santa Fe
official says:
1.-The principal cause of the change
was because of the length of the run
which was found to be too long. The
cars could not be kept clean. The re-
cent laws passed by the Mexican gov
ernment requiring all supplies for these
cars to be purchased in that country
and also requiring trainmen to be able
to speak the Spanish language were also
factors"
