Poor unfortunate President Arthur.
People who have any sypathy in their
hearts for suffering humanity must be
deeply grieved at the great misfortune
that has befallen the nations chief exc
cutor. Senator Malone of Virginia, is
angry at him and has cut his acQuaint-
ance. There was vacant judgeship
in Virginia and Mahone named the
man to fill it. General Grant suggested
man also. The president showed more
disposition to consider the matter than
to endorse Mahone's demand at once,
and the dictator become so abusive that
Mr.. Arthur rebuked him and he left
in rage. President Arthur was alive

Judge Bristol is building him resi-
denee in Demlng preparatory to re-
removing hither from Mesilla, his
present location. The Georgetown
Courier and Rio Grande Republican
charge that the judge has been given
property in Deming by the A. I. & S. F.
railroad company, and that he is inf u
enced by this corporation in his change
of residence. The Deming Headlight
denies the charge claiming that the
official purchased what property he
has acquired in Deming by purchase
with his own money, but that the citi-
zens of the town have purchased $3.50
worth of property to present to him
The fight over the matter has torrid
temperature.
The Lincoln County Leader publishes
this item: "There are number of des
perate characters who make their head
quarters in the Black Range and push
their peculiar kind of industry between
there and the surrounding towns. Hold
ups are getting to be quite an ordinary
occurrence over in that region What
portion of the Black Range does this
item refer to? The plain title of the
"Black Range" has been usually at
tached to this sectionin distinction from
Perchas and Lake Valley. If this Is
the rendezvous referred to nothing
could be more false than this state
ment, for there has never yet been 1
hold-up here, and there is not a single
rough or desperate character known tt
be within fifty miles of us. Please bt
more explicit in such statements as this

The Newhall house, six-story struc
ture of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, burned
on the morning of the 10th instant, an(
one hundred lives were lost This wa,
the most fatal hotel disaster that ha'
ever occurred IN the United States. Tit
fire caught or was set in the ele
vator way, which acting as chimney
carried the flames to all parts of thu
building with such rapidity that th'
greater number of the inmates of til,
house were not awakened from thei
slumbers until their chambers wer,
ablaze. There were some two hundred
people in the building when the alarm
sounded and not more than half ESCAPED
alive. Many jumped and were dashed
to pieces upon the pavement, but NOR,
perished silently in the flames. Tn,
greatest mortality was among the hous,
employees who occupied the sixth stor!
of the building. The house was con
sidered to be sort of atinder box, allt
but few companies would carry any
risks upon It; consequently while it
, value was placed at 100000 the insur
ance amounted to not more than 800,
