STRIKE STILL ON,
Alamogordo Tie-up Result of PERSON.
al Fight on officials.

Alamogordo, N. NJ, Feb. 23.-The
strike of the Ell Paso & Northeastern
shopmen, clerks and carmen is still
on. The situation is practically un-
changed, although President Eddy and
General Manager Martin have been in
conference with the men since Tuesday
but so far nothing definite has been
accomplished, and no settlement is in
sight.
The men struck because of grievance
against Master Mechanic Gordon of
the Dawson line. Chief Clerk Walker
foreman of the car department, Miller
and Chief Dispatcher Murphey for hav-
ing worked during the strike on the
road last July. They demand the dis
charge of these men and this is the
cause of the strike. The officials of the
road have refused to consider the de-
mands of the men and it is thus that
the matter stands. There are about $50
men idle as a result of the walkout.
one of the complications has been
eliminated by the resignation of Chief
Clerk Walker, who handed in his resig-
nation today to the management.
President Eddy, who, with General
Manager Martin, has been in confer
ence with the men since Tuesday. left
today for Dawson, where he goes on
other business.
The road is practically tied up as a
result OF the strike, but General Mana
ger Martin said that he expected traf-
nc to be normal within the next few
days.

Denver, Colo, Feb. 23.-The officials
of the railroads running into Denver
organized a branch of the Central AS
ISOLATION of Railway Officers yesterday
at the Union Station. The meeting
marks the initial step of organizing
the local officers of railroads, above the
rank of chief dispatcher, into a body
that will deal with questions between
roads and affecting the management of
the operating departments.
The railway officials elected the fol-
lowing officers:
President, D. E. Cain, general super
intendent of the western grand divi-
sion of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe at La Junta.
Vice president, c. E. Carson, super
intendent in Denver for the Colorado &
Southern
Secretary and treasurer, E. E. Hill,
commissioner Colorado car service bu-
reau.
An executive committee consisting of
D. f. Cain, C. E. Carson and F. C.
Ferris, Superintendent of the Union Pa
cifc lines in Colorado, H. H. Harris,
superintendent of the Burlington &
Missouri River lines in Colorado, and
A T. Abbott. superintendent for the
Springs was named.
The meetings of the new organiza-
ton will be held the second Friday of
each month. at 10 o'clock. in room 10
Of the Union station in Denver.
Those present yesterday We're: D. E.
Cain. c. H. Bristol, superintendent of
the A. T. & S. F. and G. & S. joint

enables them to profit by mutual ex-
periences as well as affording means of
adjusting differences concerning oper-
ating that is not now afforded.

CALIFORNIA LIMITED BURNED
Serious Accident to Santa Fe's Crack
Transcontinental Train.

Bakersfield. Cal, Feb. 2S.-At 1890
Monday the engine attached to the
west bound Santa Fe limited took fire
while stopping at the Tehachapi sta
ton on the joint track of the Southern
Pacific and Santa Fe. The engine was
an oil burner, and the oil caught fire
between the tank and the engine. An
explosion followed, wrecking the loco
motive and setting fire to a handsome
composite coach Immediately behind.
Both were destroyed. From here the
flames spread to the depot, a frame
structure which burned rapidly to the
ground. There was a large amount of
powder in the station building, and
when this exploded it made an enor-
nous confagration which it was feared
would spread to the town and destroy
it, as it has no fire protection and is
mostly of frame buildings. The fire,
however, did not get beyond the rail-
road property.
The telegraph poles and wires run
ming through the town We're burned
down, severing all communication to
the south. None of the passengers or
train crew were injured.
Loss. including engine, car and sta
ton, is estimated by the officials at
about $4,000.

MRS. PETIT LEFT
Former Topeka Family Sundered by
Domestic Difficulties.

San Bernardino, Cal, Feb. 23.-Last
evening when Jerry Petit returned
from the Santa F'e shops he found his
wife and family of three small children
gone 1t is said that a note on a table
explained that she had become weary
of living in San Bernardino, and SO far
out of the city that she had to walk
along COW paths a quarter of a mile
to her Learest neighbor.
The family came here about a year
ago from Topeka. He arrived first,
working six months before he sent for
them. Mrs. Petit wasn't satisfied. The
place was SO different from their cosy
home back in Topeka that she couldn't
be salts fed, and as the months rolled
on her uneasiness increased. Each
week she added to their bank account
until this amounted to quite a snug
sum.
Time and again she had warned her
husband that she would leave him I'M
less he would move from town or re-
turn east. Yesterday she carried out
her threat, and drawing all the money
from the bank she left on the Southern
Pacific, presumably for the home of her
parents at Minneapolis, though the
neighbors believe that she has merely
gone to Los Angeles, and will let Pet
tit hear from her within a few days.
The Pettits have lived on the north
side of Fourth street, two doors east
of the fire department. The neigh
bors give him a very good reputation,
and declare that the wife is respon-
sible for their domestic troubles. It
appears that it was at her urging that
the fsnlily came here from Topeka, she
desiring to follow two boarders who
had come to San Bernardino. They
went on to Los Angeles from here and
Mrs. Petit insisted that Petit remove
there. Recently she has claimed that
Milton Grimes, one of the men, was
in San Bernardino, and limited that she
would leave with him. The children
were seen yesterday afternoon at the
Arcade depot.
Jerry a. Petit formerly lived at 232
Lawrence street in this city, and was
a carpenter by trade

BIG PASSENGER ENGINES.
Santa Fe Will Have a New Style of
Monster LOGON olives.

The Baldwin Locomotive works have
begun work on order from the Santa
Fe for so locomotives. Ten of the num-
Der will be larger than the monsters de-
livered to the same road few months
ago and it is expected that these engines
will prove the beginning of an epoch in
railroad freighting which may result in
the abolition of smaller and weaker en-
gines. 1t is declared that the new loco
motives will be able to pull 5000 tons of
dead weight on a level The weight of
each engine complete will be about $4,000
pounds, the tender weighing 200 900 pounds
and making a total of $4,000 pounds.
Their speed will be much greater than
freight locomotives now used in pulling
the ore trains on the Santa Fe and their
cost will be a third more than that of
the best freight engine yet built. The
drivers of the new engins will be 70 inches
in diameter the cylinders Is and rs inches
with 26 inch piston stroke. They are de-
hour and to be used exclusively for pas
senger service. 1t is expected that the
ems ines will be delivered in April.

This plan was under consideration
about two years ago. At that time
merchants of Denver filed objections to
having the Colorado division annulled.
AS there are plenty of competing lines
running out of that city, it is probable
that another objection at this time
would bring proceedings to a halt.
j. M. Gruber, general superintendent
of the road, is said to be interested in
cutting the expenses wherever possible.
He will go to Denver in a few days. 1t
is said that H. c. Ferris. the superin-

SHORTER COAL CARS.
Master Car Builders Decide to Make
Capacity Larger, Cars Shorter.

Under rules adopted by the Master
Car Builders association, the standard
box cars are now 40 feet in length and
have a capacity of $4,000 pounds The
standard coal car is now % feet long,
with sides so inches high. These cars
have a capacity of $4,000 pounds. I'm
der former conditions some of the coal
cars were SO feet in length and had a
capacity of but $4,000 pounds. While the
length has been reduced 10 feet, two
feet have been added to the height,
thus increasing the capacity of the car
1000 pounds. The shorter cars are
more easily handled and switched, and
there is a saving of storage space. The
old-time long cars will be gradually
discarded.
