Since 18!)2 one of the English rail-
oads has been experimenting with the
American car and has not found it ob-
tionable to its hrsl-class nassen-
s. The real obstacle in the wav of
its general ue is the natural desire of
the British car builders not to have
their patents and patterns rendered
profitless by the introduction of competing-
ones from abroad. But the tra-
veling Kntrlishman is not likely to res-
pect a monopoly which puts his life in
danger and if he makes up his miud
to eret the American coach service he
will find a learal way of securing it.

Immediately upon clodng the doors

ing action and a post poD men t calling
attention to the Dress of business on the

art of Nevada strongly urged post
ponement as did Senator Teller. Teller
who is a member of the committee on
appropriations told his colleagues that
the senate would have all -it could do
to pass the remaining appropriation
bills before March 4.
It is believed the senate will agree
this evening to postpone the considera
tion of the treaty the opponents of the
measure wearing out the advocates b;-

business assisting to that conclu
sion.

Cannon moved that the bill be
reported to the house Grow protesting
but Payne of New York who was in
the chair put the question and declared
it carried. When he reported to
Speaker Reed Cannon immediately
moved that the house again resolve it-
self into a committee of the whole on
the consideration of bills and that the
general debate on the deficiency bill be
limited to one minute. This was done
to allow only the consideration of mea-
sures by amendments in the house prop

MURDER AT SISRRa I5LANCA.
Thrown Down a Well While the Mur
derer Escapes to Mexico
Sierra Blanca February 19 1897.
(Special) A Mexican who has been
working for some years for John Sel-
donbehere on his sheep ranch near
Allamoore was at work digging a well
in company with a Mexican named
Juan Dominguez on Tuesday list. Do-
minguez came in to supper and being
asked where the old man was replied
that he had gone to look after his
burros.
After supper he went out and has not
seen been since. Search was made for
the old man and this morning his body
was found at the bottom of the well on
which he had been at work covered
up.
Judge Mlcher of Van Horn went to
the ranch this afternoon to hold an in-
quest. As one of the burros is missing
it is supposed that Dominguez took it
with him and made for Mexico.

SO THEY WOULD PLAY CARDS.
The City Council After Policemen who
Love the Card Table.
The city council met last night with
a ''full hand" minus the mayor wn
has gone east to mend his political
lances.
Acting Mayor Roberts notified the
council that there was a gentleman of
morged lies. re laoking for woi k who
wealed the cny to pay Ins tare to Santa
Fe. Judge Cold well said tne council
nad no authority to pay the traveling
expenses of El Paso citizens to say
uothing of expending tne money of the
tax payers in railroad tickets for
itinerant paupers. The charter did not
authorize such expenditures. To him
were they all agreed and the council
decided to pay no more railroad fares
for tramps.
City Attorney Townsend tnen poured
a bucket ol ice water ao vn tne oacK 01
the Telegraph by reporting adversely
on its claims for advertising the re
port was approved and the next day
it snowed.
Mr. Clifford called the council's at
tention to a publication in the Tele-
raph charging policemen with playing
cards while on duty in reponse to
questions the chief of police replied
that Policeman Archer had been in
dulging in the little pastime but the
blue coat had promised never to do so
anymore. Mr. Whitmore here casual
ly observed that Archer had been
going from bad to worse ever since he
11 ad been on the force and be was
always promising never to do it again.
This sort of thing gave the alderman
a large sized pain in the feet. Mr. Del
Buono then turned loose and held the
criief was to blame for not reporting
offending officers but the chief replied
that he had reported Archer. Mr. Del
Buono asked the chief if he kept a
record of complaints against policemen
and the chief said that be did not. Mr.
Clifford failed to see why policemen
could have any reasonable excuse for
being absent from their post of duty.
He wanted the matter investigated
and declared it looked as thougn the
council was afraid to compel Archer to
obey police regulations. Mr. Del
Buono called attention to the fact that
Archer had got into a row before and
nanded in his star saying that being
one 01 "the finest in the world" had no
charms for him. The fact was brought
out that a second policeman was also
given to skipping off his beat to indulge
in a quiet little game of keerds but bis
name was not mentioned. The matter
was referred to the police committee
for investigation.
Chairman Stewart for the finance
committee reported favorably on the
following bills which were allowed:
Sewer and street $ 12 00
G. W. Davis 183 50
N. Nelson 27 80
G. W. Davis 7 00
Mr. Stewart for the special commit
tee appointed to conjure up some
scheme for funding the city's indebted
ness and pulling the municipality out
of a hole reported that the aggregated
wisdom had not yet succeeded in draw
ing up a report bo he had no sugges
tions to make as yet. The committee
was granted further time.
K. J. Baker George li. Harvey A.
P. Coles and others petitioned for
sewer extension privileges. Referred
to the committee of streets and grades.
Mr. Clifford called attention to the
fact that the city had no map of its
sewer system and advised that the
city engineer be instructed to draft
such a map. Mr. Clifford's suggestion
was adopted.
AM. Loomis reported collection of
$250 city rentals and asked for his cus
tomary commission of $12. oO. Referred
to the finance committee. Messrs.
Clifford and Whitmore thought it
would be more economical to have the
chief of police collect the city's rents
and thus save the commission paid out
to Judge Loomis. However this did
not go.
C. H. Purtell was confirmed fire
policeman in place of Charles Weber
resigned.
The ordinance amending the ordi
nance for levying taxes for 1S9S was
then brought up by Mr. Stewart with
weary spiritless air. Judge Coldwell
called for the ayes and noes on this.
He said that the present system of tax-
ation was complicated enough alreidy.
and the proposed ordinance was cal-
culated to make people believe the
city was doing something when it was
not doing anything. The adoption of
this proposition and the situation
would be still further complicated. A
vote was then taken and Judge Cold-
well was the only alderman tc say no.
and he did it with an air suggestive of
hark from the tombi a doleful sound
mine ears attend the cry ye living men
come view the ground where ye must
shortly lie." The ordinance was
adopted lhe amendment provides
that no tax shall be collected on the
water bonds of 1896.
Mr. Kachler called the council's at
tention to the fact that the revised or
dinances were still in a comatose
state and it was high time to get up
and do something with the same.
Ho proposed to convass the town to see
who would purchase copies of the re-
sed ordinances when they were
published. As it was there was but
the one written copy for the use of the
council and that was hardly enough.
He believed all our merchants would
want copies. Mr. Kachler wanted the
council to meet every night until the
revison was entirely completed and
ready for the printers. The council
agreed to meet next Tuesday evening
and just stay with the revised ordin-
ances even to camping out all night if
need be until the work was completed.
Mr. Stewart said that Zach White
had beeu asking him what the
council was going to do about that fire
department torse that he wanted to
buy the Badger horse. Chief Connors
of the lire department raid in reply that
one 01 tne engine roans was now suf
fering from the effects of standing on
the hard plank floor and that Badger
was working his time on the engine.
It would be a good thing to buiid a
small corral j'ist outside the city ball
where the horses could have a chance
to jump around and roll on the dirt
each day. The matter was reft ri ed to
the finance committee with power to
act. Adjourned.

Eddy New Mexico February 19.
Yesterday about 8:45 p. m. Sheriff A.
L. Dow was assassinated on Fox street
in Eddr. lie was coming from the bank
building and was almost in front of the
Argu9 office and was shot by one of
two men who were concealed in the
doorway who had evidently been wait-
ing for him. Two shots were fired
only one taking effect. The ball en-
tered at the left corner of the
mouth shattered the jaw bone and pass-
sed out at the back of the neck. The
pistol was held quite c'03e as his face
was severely powderburnt. Immediate-
after the shooting the parties ran
past the post office and turned down in
to the alley Mr. Dow staggered across
the street ditch finally sinking down
front of the E. V. restaurant from
where he was carried into Blackmore's
rug store his wound dressed and
later removed to his home. It was not
thought at the time that the wound
was fatal but he only survived till
early this morning dying about 7
o'clock. While nothirjg positive has
been announced it is thought the men
were recognized by Mr. Daw and are
also known to the officers.
Later. D. L. Lemp and Wm. Kudon
have been arrested cn suspicion. The
coroner's jury are now in session. It
will go hard with the parties if caught
A mass meeting of citizens has been
called.
South African Politics
London February 19. The South
African investigating committee re-
sumed its sitting today. In the course
of the examination Mr. Rhode3 said -he
advised Commissioner Hercules Robin-
son that if any up-rising should occur
he (the commissioner.) had better me-
diate with the object of securing the
people their civil rights. The witness
understood that Robinson intended to
act as mediator. Mr. Rhodes admitted
that he had not told the high commis-
sioner he was actively engaged in pro-
moting an insurrection. "The object
of rising" Mr. Rhodes said "was .to
obtain a plebiscite to a certainty
whether the people were in favor of a
union of whole of South Africa or
whether the management of local af-
fairs should be left to the Transvaal
government." Mr. Rhodes added:
"You may be sure that I was not going
to risk my position by changing
President Krueger' for President
Rhodes. 'J
The Lexow Investigation.
New York February 19. The
Lexow committee had Henry Burn
president of the National Wall Paper
company before it this morning. Mr.
Burn produced a copy of the contract
made with "factors" where only Na-
tional wall paper goods would be used.
The company had an agreement with
the labor unions by which the employe s
worked eleven months of the year.
Ten factories were closed within two
years after the cosolidation. This
caused a decrease of ten per cent in
the labor employed. Witness said the
rate of wages had not decreased after
the consolidation.

THE GREEKS IX CKETE.
They Refuse to Evacuate Because
the
Powers Will It
Athens February 19. In the rse
of a debate in the chamber of deputies
last evening. Premier Delyannis stated
ttat the government had been seeking
to discover the reason for the powers
opposing the operation of Greece in
Crete As a result of the investiga-
tions the cabinet had arrived at a cer-
tain conclusion which it could not yet
communicate to the chamber further
than to declare that Greece would per
sist in the policy and course of its
action in Crete.
Canea February 19. The Austrian
vice-consul at Heralion confirms the re
port of the massacre of 2000 moslems
by Cretan christians at Sitia the east
ern extremity of the island. Colvassos
commanding the Greek forces in 'rete
has given orders to the troops to re
frain from molesting or giving offense
to civilians and unarmed moslems.
The Greek consulate here is now be
ing guarded by Russian marines. The
consul in complying with the order to
withdraw the Greek guard protested
that the admirals were exceeding their
functions.
Paris February 19. A dispatch
from Canea says the British warships

of a force of Greek troops which arriv-
ed there Thursday.
Brest France February 19. All

steamer Pan-Hellenic conveying mun-
itions of war to the insurgents in Crete
has been stopped and turned back by a
British cruiser. The action of the
British vessel has created the fiercest
indignation here.
A Strange War on Satan.
One of the big circuses experienced
considerable annoyance throughout
central Indiana because of the warfare
waged against it by the Salvation army
during its last tour says the Times-
Herald. The Salvationists met the
circus men on their own ground and
declared war by pasting tiny strips
of paper bearing Scriptural texts and
religious warnings upon the circus bill-
board displays. Some of these Salva-
tionist warnings were startling and in
conjunction with the show's iitbcl
graphs produced effects never before-'
dreamed of always incongruous and
striking and often appearing blasphe-
mous. The trouble began at Muncie. A
member of the Salvation Army at that
point seeing popular attention direct-
ed toward the circus billboards decid-
ed that they furnished the best medium "
by which to introduce his scriptural
texts to the public. Within the next
half hour those circus displays were
completely metamorphosed. The pic-
ture of an aeronaut falling in a para-
chute from a balloon bore the inscrip-
tion: "Sinner you are bound for helL
Go the other way." The long ne"k
of the giraffe Was labeled "The
straight and narrow way is best." A
small negro boy was .pictured agzing
horror-stricken into the open mouth of
a hippopotamus and across its cavern-
ous expanse were the words: "Pre-
pare to meet thy God." The snake
charmer wrapped in the folds of a
monster serpent was admonished to
"shun the deadly cup; it stingeth like
an adder." An acrobat turning a som-
ersault in midair apparently grasped
in his hand the question: "Where will
you spend your eternity?" The lion-
tamer in a cage with several beasts
which apparently were about to make
a meal of him was admonished to
watch and pray and the ''human can-
non ball" being fired from a huge can-
non was confronted by the question
"Where are you going to heaven or to
hell?"
It is safe to say that no circus bills
ever attracted more general attention
or caused more comment.
Our people are growing more and
more in the habit of looking to the
local dealer for the latest and best of
everything in the drug line. They
sell Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
famous for its cures of bad colds croup
and whooping cough. When in need
of such a medicine give this remedy a
trial and you will be more than pleased
with the result.
Much of life's misery is due to indi-
gestion; for who can be happy with a
pain in his stomach? As a corrective
and streng-thener of the alimentary or-
gans. Ayer's PMs are invaluable their
use being always attended with marked
benefit.
