CITY COUNCIL.
The City Council, pursuant to the an-
nouncement made last Friday, held a
special meeting last night, to take the
place of the regular meeting, which,
owing to the Christmas holidays was not
held on the usual day.
The minutes of the former meeting
were read and approved.
A lengthy report of the city engineer,
recommending grades for different
streets, was read to the council and upon
motion of Alderman Larmour, a special
meeting to be held Wednesday at 2
o'clock was called, to consider and act
on the same.
An ordinance regarding the construc-
tion of sidewalks on different streets, was
referred to the street and grade com-
mittee.
The $500, appropria ted at a former
meeting for a general survey of the city,
was recalled.
The street and grade committee were
granted further time to report on the mat-
ters entrusted to them for consideration.
A crossing was ordered made on Camp-
bell street at the intersecting point of the
North side of San Antonio street.
Several bills were referred to the fin-
ance committee.
A petition from Mr. Slade regarding a
change of alley was referred to the com-
mittee on streets and grades.
A petition of J. H. Crosby, regarding
the property in controversy on Myrtle
street, was likewise referred to the afore-
said committee.
An amount of sixty dollars was ap-
propriated to defray the expenses
of Woodford and Jamison,
the witnesses detained to testify against
Holland.
The extra policeman appointed on the
force during the feasts at Paso del Norte
was ordered removed.
The council then adjourned until
Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock.
The Firemen'* Ball.
Last night the boys of Hole Co 1 gave
a ball al the Grand Central hotel which
will long be remembered by all who par-
tlcipated, for it was an extremely enjoy-
able affair. Nothing had been left undone
to make it a success. The large hall was
tilled, and as the music was excellent,
dancing was indiilged in to everybody's
heart's content. The ladies—God bless
them—were as pretty as a dream and
displayed some very el gant toilets. (The
reporter tried hard to get a dunce in one
of the sets, but there were too many
other good looking men ahead of him,
and every programme he inspected, was
filled. However, better luck next time.
The scribe noticed among the ladies
present the Misses Moorman. Harsh, Let-
ter, Wright, Beal, Emma Smith, Lee
Richter, Dela Cleveuger, Lyons, and
Mesdames Bradford, Harsh, Howard,
McWilllams, Clardv, Toenniges. Beal,
Barto and Mann. The reporter couldn't
help noticing, among the gentlemen pre-
sent, Judge Falvey for his indefat'gable
dancing. He never misled a single
dance, and that was one reason the re-
porter couldn't squeeze in.
We have had several complaints from
San Elizario and Ysleta that the Times
is not received punctually. They are
taken to thepostoffice carefully wrapped
and plainly directed, and it consequent-
ly must be the fault of thepostoffice or of
the mail car.

PUBLIC NOTICE.
The Padre Mine.
The Las Cruces Republican has an in-
teresting article on the Bennett mine in
the Organ Mountains, and its wonderful
cave, the property of our fellow-citizen
John Dougher, and in the course of its
readable description reflects as follows:
'•The startling question is propounded:
Cau It be the lost Padre mine ? It has
been suggested, not without reason, for
not only does the cave occupy the place
la the contact where the mineral usually
lies, but in several places, directly in the
ends of it, are bodies of ore just as if the
workmen had left them. The reader may
suggest that the formation of lime stone
would not have recumulated, but ic must
be borne in mind that it has been more
than two hundred years since, as claim-
ed by the legend, the Padre mine
was closed up by the infuriated natives
and limestone crystaiizations are quickly
deposited." The question here propound-
ed can be very readily answered. It is
not the old Padre mine. Tradition says
distinctly and plainly that the legendary
Padre mine was situated more than four
and less than eight miles from El Paso,
on the western slope of El Paso moun
tain. It was in full bonanza at the time
of the greit Pueblo insurrection that
swept over New Mexico in 1680, and was
at that time filled up by the revolting
peons and all traces of it obliterated. It
has often been searched for since that
time, buthas never been found.
A prominent citizeu of Ysleta informs
us that John Holland and another man
supposed to be Tom Ashton, crossed tho
river at that point on the 22nd, and
boarded the traiD, John Holland going
cast, and the other man coming west.
The party who vouchsafed this informa-
tion is in every way reliable and worthy
of credence, and his report explodes the
supposition hitherto entertained that
John Holland had sought a refuge in the
Montezuma mining camp, near Carrizal.

On one of thnce fi.ie Rattin Rakers at
the LLLMAN FURNITURE COMPA-
NY, Eigh.een different designs, tf
Dixon C. Williams spoke to a house
full ot' men Sunday afternoon. It Was
the plainest talk we ever heard from the
pulpit. He #aid he did not want hoys
and ladies to Inar him, because lie ex-
pected to say things that no boy or lady
ought ever to hear. 'T have too much re-
spect," said lie, "for ladies to speak to
them as I do to you, and if I should say
these things before them you ought to
drum me out of town, and If you didn't
do it, you ought to be drummed out
yourselves." The sermon had a power-
ful efleet, and everybody felt that despite
Mr. Williams' peculiarities, he is a very
sensible man. He certainly loves men.
Mr. W. D. Marsh who has been con-
fined for some days past by virtue of a
writ of de lunatico inquirendo, has been
sent to his cousin, Mr. George Abbott, of
Fort Davis, Texas. We understand that
Mr. Marsh will remain on Mr. Abbott's
ranch (40 miles from Fort Davis,) until
his recovery or until the county judge of
this county makes further orders in the
premises, Mr. Marsh was sent to Fort
Davis by the advice of his attorney, Mr.
Coldwell, with the consent of the county
officers having jurisdiction in the premi-
ses, and with the approbation of every
one of his friends who was aware of his
condition.
Good Bending tor El Puo Advertiser*.
The Evening Tribune says: "The
Bulletin has the boss "circulation liar."
When they are claiming to circulate 800
a day the pile of papers indicated that the
number was really about one-fourth the
claim. Now he claims that his man, O
Pshaw, has taken 339 paying subscribers
during the past week. They ought to
come to some understanding amongst
themselves, as their stories do not consist.
He must take the business men of the
city for a pack of fools to suppose that he
can tell such unreasonable ttories and
have them believed."
We are going to tell our merchants,
no' fi lently, how they can adveitiseand
subscribe without having it cost them i
cent. Advertise in ihe Tribune and sub
scribe for the Bulletin, both of which
papers are performing a gratuitous ser-
vice in the direction* indicated for the
people of El Paso.—Herald.
Our neighbor of the Herald is off wrong.
The Bulletin has already put a price on its
■ir.'u1atio>), aud the Tribune will as soon
a? we can get time to call on the mer-
chants, make fair arrangements
with them for the publication of
their "ads." No, we haye not come here
to do quite so much as you suggest for
t he people of ElPaso.but we know nothing
to hinder our adopting such a course as
best seems fit to give us proper introduc-
tion to the citizens.—Evening Tribune.
The people of El Paso want the latest
telegraphic news, and the Timks is de-
termined to give it to them, regardless of

graphic dispatches which the Globe-

We are enabled to announce to the

soon have an opportunity to listen to an

dle of January. We are informed by

that he Is a very eloquent and fine speaker,

A .Mexican Band.
We had the pleasure of a lengthy chat
today with Mr. G. E. Gonzalez, the tal-
ented leader of the Mexican band who is
now on his way back to Mexico to assume
the directorship of the company on its
proposed tour through Mexico and
Europe. The company, Mr. Gonzalez
informs us, is now composed of thirty
members, having received among other
additions that of a couple of dancers who
will contribute to the interest of the en
tertainm-nts abroad by Iniiiating the
public Into the mysteries of the Mexican
jota ond jarabe. On Mr. Gouz .lez's ar-
rival in Mexico the troupe will pr >ceed
to Vera Cruz, stopping at all the leading
points on the route, then return to Mex-
ico and trayel this way over the Mexican
Central, taking likewise all important
cities on their way. Paso del Norte wili
be reached on the 15th, and the company
will perform in this city on the 16;h. The
journey will be resumed to San Francis-
co the day following, from which point
the troupe will sail for the old contiuent.
where let us hope they will reap many
laurels and make a grand financial suc-
cess. Mr. Gonzalez complained of the
exorbitant price asked by the lessors of
the opera house at this point, and seemed
in doubt whether he would be able to
perform here if the rate was not modified
somewhat. The high lease is due to Ihe
Increase in insurance rates to which
without any justifiable cause our city has
been subjected recently.
We hope that Mr. Gonzalez will be
able to effect some arrangement by
which our city can enjoy the pleasure of
hearing the orchestra on its arrival here.
Holding Oat fer Three Cent*.
Pittsburg, Dec, 28.—At a largely at-
tended mass meeting of striking coal
miners today at Allequippa in the sec-
ond pool it was decided to continue
the strike for three cents per bushel. A
proposition to settle the difference by ar-
bitration was rejected by the operators,
who assert that the miners would not
abide by the umpire's decisiou if
it should be against them.
After the meeting the strikers
to the number of 60J visited the Alle-
quippo and Coal valley miners and made
an effort to induce the working miners to
come out, but they were unsuccessful.
A number of deputy sheriffs were there,
but no trouble occurred An uneasy
feeling prevails tonight, however, as the
strikers are still in the vicinity and an out-
break is feared.
