Show HAVE NOT RESIGNED. No Foundation for the Rumor That Brown and liennett Would Abdicate. General Freight and Passenger Agent Bennett Ben-nett and Assistant General Freight Agent Brown were both found at their desks this morning when a TtMES reporter called to enquire en-quire if they had teudered their resignations and would soon sever their official connections connec-tions with the Rio Grande Western. ; Both laughed at the idea; it was a Herald fake, and a very clumsy one at that. Neither had resigned, nor was there the remotest prospect of their doing so. Then there w as not a railroad man in the city who had ever heard ot such a thing until they read it this morning, and so it could not have produced the sensation which the Herald alleges. R. (J. W. .Souvenir. The Rio Grande Western has received its souvenir calenders for lS'.t. it is a pretty little conception, giving two illustrations of charming bits of scenery along that line. The road and its feeders is represented by a table fork, the four prongs of which show the Missouri Pacific, A. T. S. F., the Burlington Bur-lington and the Kock Island roads connecting connect-ing with the I). & R. G. and the Midland, and those two roads connecting with the Western at Grand Junction. The top of the handle of the fork hears the words: "Rio Grande Western Railway Always on Top." From Yarioua Points. The representatives of several big roads met in Chicago yesterday to consider the question of free passes. T. P. Murray says his tour of the Peep Creek districts and the representations he will be able to make to the capitalists who are becking him, on the resources of that country, will not lessen his prospects for building that road. It is intended to have trains running into Eureka over the Rio Grande Western by the 15th of December. The only thing to interfere inter-fere with the calculation will be the impossibility impos-sibility of completing the tunnels in Ilom-ansville Ilom-ansville canon. . Two trains a day are now run over the D. & R. G. and Midland between Denver aud Grand Junction.
