 | The long expected and delayed new equipment of the Fl Paso anc South western R. R has arrived al last, the last of the cars being delivered in El Paso on Monday last. The first train of this handsome new outfit was run on train No 1 on Monday through to i Benson. and will return On No. 2 this
 morning, while the opposite train will leave Fl Pasc. and thus the service will be fully established.
 | These trains were ordered from the
 Pullman company last sumner for November delivery, but they have only | just come to hand. The equipment l consists of two parlor cars, three |, coaches and three combination mail f and baggage cars. and they will be | placed in service on trains 1 and k between Fl Paso and Benson, and will |, take tue place Of the olG equipment ! that has been in service on that line

 trains. and the two par,or cars will 6ouble back each day.
 The baggage cars are needed worse than any of the other equipment as
 the company is now forced. owing to
 the small size of it's old baggage cars, to haul two in each train. to handle
 the large volume of mail, express and baggage matter that is now being transported over the line. One of the ! new cars, it is thought, will be of suf- ] ficient size tc handle this business. | The inside measurement of the bag
 gage cars is 65 feet 3-4 inches in the | clear. A small portion of the space ] in the front end of the car has been | pe.itione6 off for the use of the mail \ department
 f The three coaches are 60 feet in | side measurement, have a seating ca !. pacity of 76 persons, and are equipped with plush seats. | The parlcr cars are swellest that
 have ever come west. and are the per i feet embodiments of luxury. These cars not only serve the purpose of a | parlor car on the train, but dining and
 smoking cars as well. They each have an inside measurement of 70 feet The observation compartment will seat IS
 persons. and the dining room 12 per |, sons, while the smoking compartment comfortably takes care of five men. Each car is equipped with complete cooking outfit. and the table service
 will be the best that can be secured. i The outside of all the new cars has been painted the standard Pullman : brown, trimmed in gold. with the name of the line in gilt letters over the win | cows.

 Douglas over the line into Fl Pasc, and now has the honor of being the conductor of the first run of the new | western R. R. have certainly in this
 new service given to their patrons the finest outfit that runs on any road in
 the country, and in all the west there are none finer than the coaches and
 cafe parlor cars now running On this system. There is an extra train of
 these cars so that a fresh train will
 relieve the old when being cleaned up. The old equipment will now find it's
 way into the shops car by car. to be 1 thoroughly overhauled and assigned to
 the branches, while the old buffet cars will be reserved for special parties
 and for extra service. The public ] will appreciate the new service. |
