EL PASO IIERALD, MONDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1905. ROYAL BAKING NEW YORK ORIENT PILGRIMS BEHIND SCHEDULE St il well Party, Duo Today, May Arrive on Tuesday. ICH YET Interior Work Is Progressing Rapidly, With a Large Force of Men Yards Not Finished. BIG ENGINES FOR ILLINOIS CENTRAL Interruptions which occurred sout'h of the city of Chihuahua have forced the abandonment of the prearranged schedule of the Kansas City. Mexico Orient and the special train which is carrying president A.

E. guests on their journey over the districts to "oe rapped by the Orient will not reach El Paso today. According to the original schedule, the special train was to have reached El Paso at 3 oclock this afternoon over the Mexican Central and left over the Texas Pacific at 5:30 to Orient road at Sweetwater, Texas. The special was held at Chihuahua longer than was expected, and information received as to the probable time cf arrival is indefinite. The Mexican Central in Juarez has received telegrams which indicate that the party may arrive 24 or 48 hours late, or even later than that.

A telegram from J. P. Ramsey, is cn tihe train, today announced the train would reach El Paso oclock Tuesday afternoon. Many of the members of the party are well known in El Paso and it is that a large number of El will meet the train when it JAIL IS TOTAL WRECK The Constable Cannot Prisoners In the Place.

-o- Powerful Locomotives are Among Largest Ever Constructed. TROUBLE ON THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC With a large force of workmen engaged on the interior finishing work at the new union station rapid progress is being made, but the end is still mere than a month distant, and perhaps even more remote than that. The men in charge of the work make no attempt to predict the date when trains will run into the new depot. There are no appreciable delays in the progress at present and yet the infinite number of details which require attention will consume several weeks at best. Laying the tile floor in the retiring rooms, toilets and waiting rooms on the main floor has begun and is progressing rapidly.

Partitions for the ticket office and public telegraph office are in place and the woodwork for the information bureau is practically completed. Work is just beginning on the curio stand and news depot. The public telegraph office is unusually large, and will have a large plate glass front. Separate compartments, side by side, will be provided for the Postal and Western Union lines. The depot telegraph station, for use in the operation of trains, is located on the second while the public station is on the first floor, between the entrance to the dining room and the exit to the trains.

The wood work, which is of hard pine, in natural finish, is being completed in all parts of the building. The staff work is practically completed. Much work remains to be done in the yards. The steel has been laid with the exception of the tracks at the west end of the yards and of the crossover tracks'at the east end. All grading in the yards is yet to be done.

The level will be raised nearly a foot throughout the yards, requiring the use of a great, quantity of dirt, which has not yet been received. o------------INSPECTORS CONVENIENTLY REACH THE CENTRAL TRAIN Sixv of the most powerful and modern locomotives ever constructed are now being received by the Illinois Central railroad for service on the Chieago-St. Paul, hicago-Omaha and Chicago-New Orleans lines. The engines are 00 in number. 50 being about equally divided between the passenger and freight departments and 10 for the switching service.

The passenger engines are of the Pacific type and are beauties. They weigh pounds, have a capacity of 7000 gallons of water and 15 tons of coal, and their driving wheels are seven feet three inches in diameter. They are guaranteed to cover 75 to 00 miles an hour and one of them will be used to pull the Central's the new 23 hour train between Chicago and Xew Orleans that will go into service December 26 in connection with the steamer Prince Arthur to Havana. The freight locomotives are powerful machines, weighing over 100 tons and guaranteed to haul tons of freight. The switching engines are among Trains from the west on the Southern Pacific are far behind schedule today, and will probably arrive nearly 12 hours late.

Details regarding the cause of the delay have not been received. The Salton sea i.s known to be high, the waves beating over the track. There have also been heavy snows which may have played a part in detaining the train. The first section of No. 10, drawn by two engines, reach 'd El Paso five hours late last night, and the delay was caused simply by the Salton sea and the storm.

Dec. Smith hunt near sav that game of all sorts i ful in that section. The county commissioners hive at awakened to the fact that Vsleta is on the map, and are making some much needed repairs on the roads, especially the main street. They must be figuring on the coming election, the people here think. The jail here is in a deplorable condition.

roof has caved in, it has no windows, there are six inches of mud on the floor, the blankets are rotten, etc. The local constable, Pancho Munoz, when compelled to make an arrest, usually compromises with his prisoners, as he has no place to put them, and trusts to luck rather than face a possible damage suit. Nestor Gonzales was arrested by one of sheriff deputies on the charge of theft of property under the value of $50, complaint being made by Militon Gonzales in the county court. The prisoner gave bond in the sum of $500. Sabas Olguin, who was arrested on a warrant sworn to bv Walter Coles, charging him with stealing a cow, has been released, there being no evidence against him.

A large number of deaths have occurred here recently, due to unsanitary conditions prevailing in the village. Benigno Alderete has returned from a iiiSiSiiil mm Uli (i IS il I 3 I XV i ft pWg'; stav at his ranch Fort -o- largest ever built for this service, weighing 70 tons and capable of hauling 5000 tons. The new equipment will give the Illinois Central 200 of these monster freight locomotives, 50 passenger engines of the large Pacific type, and 25 of the giant switching engines. With these additions the power on the Illinois Central has been brought up to the highest standard of efficiency, design and hauling capacity. ------------NEW STEEL FOR CENTRAL LINE TO GUADALAJARA New steel is to be laid on the main line of the Guadalajara division of the Mexican Central, between Irapuato and Guadalajara, and on the Zapot- lan branch from Guadalajara to Tuxpan.

The work is to be completed by the time the Manzanillo extension reaches the Pacific coast. The present rails will be replaced by 75-pound steel. The track will be made similar to that between El Paso and Mexico City. ------------o------------- NEW LOCOMOTIVES FOR THE ORIENT RAILROAD For use cn the Orient road out of Minaca, a heavy consolidation locomotive, fresh from the Cook Locomotive works, is in the city. It will be taken over to Juarez this afternoon and will leave for Chihuahua over the Mexican Central in the morning, to be taken thence to Minaca over the Chihuahua Pacific.

Two similar locomotives are being taken 'by water to the Pacific coast terminum of the Orient road, Topolo- bair.DD, to be pm into service on the read out of that city. o------------ABOUT RAILROAD PEOPLE Dr. C.

Miss Gallatin's Play. Miss Alberta Gallatin and company appeared in El Paso Saturday and Sunday nights in a so ety comedy, and made a distinct hit with local patrons.

A large number of the old time theatrical patrons were present for her performance and thoroughly enjoyed it. It was the most critical auoienee that has been present in the Bijou since its construction to serve temporarily until the erection of a new, modern house. Miss Galiatin was remembered by El Fasoans from her performance here two years ago in as a clever actress, and if anything, she made a greater hit in her latest play than in the first. As a comedy it is delightfully refreshing, and with such a clever star company of stu excellence, it could not but please. Walter L.

MANY ARE SEEKING EMPLOYMENT HERE Tho Railroad Officials are I ith plicai ions. Cold weather in the north and east has led hundreds of workmen to migrate to a warmer clime, and El Paso, situated on several of the chief transcontinental routes, is receiving no small number of the unemployed-. Railroad men are receiving numberless applications for employment each day. Only the smallest percentage of the labor seekers are being given situations. The roads are all well supplied with a full force of ployes, and there are few vacancies.

The Mexican Central especially is deluged with applications for work. The Juarez master mechanic and trainmaster are receiving many applications every day. At present there is not a vacancy on the system, trainmaster Montague says. The road has more men than are needed. Last week a party of 25 men was sent down the road, and they more than met all immediate demands.
