The Raymond Horner and Har
ry Brown Met With Accidents.
About 100000 Worth Of Property
Lost in u Storm Saturday
Night.
MANY BIG BOATS PASSING

The coal combine boats are pass
ing down almost daily and empties
are being taken back up the river to
be loaded. This morning the Gate
City passed down with a big tow of
coal for the south. Saturday the Oak
land went down with about 35 bar
ges of black diamonds and other
boats are due. AT noon the John a.
Wood passed up with about 20 emp
ties and a model barge which was
loaded with sacked sugar. Some of
the barges were badly battered up
and looked as If they had been in
smashups.
One of the crew who came over
for mail and supplies said that the
Sprague had not reached Cairo yet
and that the Pacific had gone down
the Mississippi rivers to take part of
her tow The Sprague has an i'm
mense tow of empties. AS river men
express it, "She has the river full of
bargec."
The coal combine is suffering hea-
w losses again this season by the
sinking of barges. The latest loss
came Saturday night and it was one
of the heaviest the combine has ever
had. A special from Cannelton, Ind,
gives the following particulars:
zone of the worst losses on the RI
yer occurred here about z O'Clock
Saturday evening, entailing loss of
coal and barges of more than $780,
900. The Raymond Horner lost five
barges of coal and the Harry Brown
27 barges. II was caused by the high
wind and rough water. The Horner
came around the bend above town
first and landed just above this city.
Following her closely came the
Brown with 81 pieces. and in attemp.
ting to land at Hawesvile she lost
control of her feet, every barge
breaking loose. The boat itself was
in great danger of being sunk for
time. Several men were cut loose and
made their escape in skiffs. No lives
| ios;.
"The Horner, commanded by Cap
tain John Dippold and the rest of the
feet are tied up here in a bad way
In landing here the Horner tore
loose 500 saw logs for Zeller Bros,
worth several thousand dollars. Capt
tain Borroughs places his loss in
coal at 81, 1000 per boat, making a to-
tai of $S1. 900. This is the worst
lost on river here i'm years Some six
or eight years ago the Boaz last her
entire feet here. and only two years
ago the. J. B. Finley lost several bar
ges of steel rails.
"The storm came up In a very few
minutes and 1t is a great wonder the
entire feet of boats was not lost. As
it was over 100000 worth of prop
erty was sunk in less than twenty
minutes."
It is reported that the Oakland
lost two barges below Metropolis
Saturday night but this could not be
verified. The Oakland belongs to the
Jutto company.

Albuquerque, N. NJ, Dec. 19.-So
numerous have become the hoboes on
the Rio Grande division of the Atch-

are their depredations that the COM
pany is now taking extra precautions

and SO offensive along the Rio Grande
on the system. Many of them are deS-
perate men who win stop at no crime,
but most of them are men who live by
sneak .thievery and petty misdemean-
ors, common to thugs and toughs.
The assault on F. T. Nudge yard
master at San Marcial, which Oc-
CURED a few days ago and numerous
other overt acts by the hOboes have
caused the officers and employees of
the railroad to feel some alarm. Most
of the men come from the east and
from Denver and are shipped to the
Belen cutoff to work. Some of them
make no pretense at working They
travel in punches and pilfer and steal
from the settlers along the railroad
At night there is one continuous string
of fires along the line from Belen to
Ell Paso. and the railway will put on
a number of armed guards to protect
their trains and right of way if the
nuisance continues.
Isleta is the grand rendezvous OF
the great unwashed, although Belen
is a close second, and they are scat

the strenuous life at the junction

ROCK ISLANDS NEW MOVE.
VIII Not Handle Dressed Meat and
Provision Traffic.


Chicago, Dec. 19.-The Chicago, Rock
Island & Pacific Railway company has
gone out of the dressed meat and pro-
vision traffic and has withdrawn all
trains which We're engaged in hauling
these products. Announcement of this
decision has just been made and the
traffic officials of the road have given
notice that they would not solicit any
business from the big packers. Until
a short time ago the Rock Island was
a sharp competitor for this class of
traffic, which provides an enormous
tonnage for all the western roads, and
the announcement of the company to
retire from this business has caused
considerable surprise.
The explanation given is that the
packing house traffic does not pay under
the existing rates It is stated that in
the opinion of the Rock Island officials
no railroad can haul packing house
products and provisions between the
Missouri river and Chicago at present
rates and make any money
The Rock Island first withdrew from
the packing house traffic between Kan
sas City and Chicago, and a little later
Cancelled all of its fast trains which were
handling packing house products be-
tween Omaha and Chicago The traffic
department has issued instructions to its
agents not to solicit any more traffic
from the packers and not to take any
II it were offered them.
