The expensive woods and beautiful fur- nishings of the interior will continue. In fact, it is intended that the ex- pense which is saved on the gold leaf on the outside will go into the im- provements on the interior for the ad- ditional comfort, pleasure and con- venience of the passengers. Here- after the word “car” will be dropped from the outside lettering, the l.Dels will be simply, dining, chair, buffet, ete. It is pointed out that the saving on this item alone will be enormous both in gold leaf and labor in the course of the year over the entire Harriman lines. R — SOUTHERN PACIFIC TO BUILD A NEW RAILWAY IN TEXAS Line From Eagle Pass to Beeville Will Form More Direct Route for California Through Traflic. AUSTIN, Tex., Oct. 17.—The South- ern Pacific will build a new long grade line of railroad between Eagle Pass, Tex., and Beeville, the distance being 175 miles.

At Bee- ville connection will be made with its New York, Texas and Mexico division. It will form a more direct and easier route for Mexican and Californian through traffic between Eagle Pass and Houston than by the existing route through San Antonio. e EXPLOSION IN STOVE KILLS ONE AND INJURES TWO CENTRAL CITY, Col., Oct. 17.— Mrs. Gertrude Sachs, a widow, age 32> was killed and two boarders in her house seriously injured to-day by an explosion in the kitchen range.
