A distressing accident occurred on the Southern Pacific about 3 o'clock this morning. As western-bound freight train rounded the curve in the rear of the city gas works, one of the brakeman, by name, N. H. Galloway was thrown from the top of the cars to the ground and instantly killed. His neck was broken by the fall. Coroner Baird was at once notified, and the body brought to his undertaking es- tablishment on Main street, where 1t now lies. It is not known what dis position will be made of the body, as no answer has yet been received from his relatives, who hays been telegraph cd to. MT. Galloway was quite q young man, and had but recently come fromsMarshall, Texas. He is said to have been a man of most exemplary habits, and stood well with the com pany.-Citizen.

Col. Lewis came in from the South ern Belle last evening. He reports matters about the mine looking we'll and says that should nothing unfor- seen occur the mill will be in readi- ness and will begin to crush ore on or about August 1st. The ore will be furnished by the Messrs. Brajevich as per contract. When this contract has been completed it is the purpose of MT. Lewis to begin crushing ore from the Southern Belle claims, which in the meantime will be put into shape with that end i'll view. The probabilities are that the Southern Belle has seen its last shut down for years to come.-Citizen.

About six o'clock this morning. some say few minutes before, and others few minutes after-Tucson experienced a sharp earthquake shock. It was of but momentary duration, but it shook things up lively while it was about it. The motion seemed to be from south to north. Some people ran out of their houses, and others were too bewildered to get out. In Mrs. DriscolPs house on south Meyer street, it shook the plaster down and frightened the inmates into the streets. In the Welisch block it had the appearance of something giv- ing the building three or four sharp jerks, while at the same time it seemed as if some one was jumping on the roof overhead. At MT. Mansfeld's s house on Stone avenue, the same noise that accompanied the big earthquake of a couple of years back, was plainly heard. The inmates of the Fashion saloon in the Pearson block lost no time in getting out, but the shaking
 up was generally felt, and everybody
 has experiences to reIate.-Citizen

frequented by the men. 1t also goes without
saying that newspapers are not read by citizens
OF the same social grade as the inhabitants of
Las Vigiles-the Spanish-speaking natives of
New Mexico.
1t must not be inferred that the people such
as have just been described constitute the en-
tire population of the territory of New Mexico,
for this is not the fact. The Spanish speaking
element is, of course, largely predominant,
but there are to be found in the towns like Las
Vegas, Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Ration, Spring
er and Las Animas many people of cultivation
and refinement some of whom remain out here
because of climatic advantages, and others
because they can quickly accumulate fortune
in this rapidly developing region. A number
of railroads are now heading this way and,
when completed, these will do much to
"civilize" the natives. who will then
find work to occupy their leisure
hours which are now devoted to cards,
dice, dominos, and other forms of gambling
In course of time they will find it necessary to
acquire the English language and to adopt the
customs of civilized people-the Mexican of
today will become thoroughly Americanized.
Evolution is an admitted fact. In every in
stance its progress is slow but none the less
sure, and so it will be with these people. The
present generation may not live to see the COM
plete metamorphosis, but, in few decades, the
change Will have been so complete that, doubt
less, those who might happen to read of the
customs OF this country at the present time,
would eXclaim, in amazement: Gould such
state OF affairs have beon possible in the
United States so late as 1SSS?'

THE WEATHER BULLETIN.
The Week Has Been Generally Favorable
to Crops.

WASHINGTON, May 27.--The weather crop
bulletin for the week ended Saturday says:
The weather for the week has been generally
favorable in the states Of the Mississippi val
ley, resulting in a general improvement Of the
crop conditions. Local storms have caused
some damage in Arkansas and Louisiana, rem
dering it necessary to replant cotton in some
sections
The deficiency of rainfall in Mississippi is
reported as having unfavoraby affected the
crops in that section. The continued rains
during the past week have retarded farm work
in the middle Atlantic states, but the condi-
tions of wheat, rye, oats and grass have been
lmproved.s Slghtsinjury is reported from frost
in New Jersey, Ohio, Indiana and Michigan.
In the south Atlantic states the weather dur
ing the week has affected crops favoraby, ex-
cept in some sections Of South Carolina, where
the cool wet weather was unfavorable TO cot
ton. Reports from New England indicate
that the season is about two weeks late, and
that the temperature and rainfall for the week
arc below the average.

A Foul Murder Expiated.

FERGUS FALLS Mimi, April 13. Nelson Ho-
long was hanged here to-day for the foul n drder
of Lille Field, his employers daughter.
Nelson Holong was convicted of the murder of
Miss Lille Field, a crime which has scarcely
been equaled in the horribleness of :ts details.
1t was committed ON the 28th of last May. Miss
Field, q young girl of sixteen. lived with her
mother and brothers in the township of st.
Olof about fifteen miles from Fergus Falls.
HoloDg was their hired man. an inoffsnsive-
looking Norwegian of about twenty weight years.
On the day mentioned Mrs Field and her eldest
son came to Fergus Falls. leaving IsIllie and
younger brother Of about seven years at home
with the hired man. Lille went to work about
the house, performing such work as her mother
had left for her TO do. at 10 o'clock Holong
came IN and sent the young boy over to a neigh
Dor errand, telling him that he might re-
main and play When he left Lille was wash
ing aud that was the last seen of her alive.
When the boy came back, after dinner, Lille
and the hired man were missing. He went TO
the various neighbors. but none had seen them.
He went home. and. when night came. fell
asleep on the sofa. Here he was found by his
mother and brother when they returned from
Fergus Falls. They supposed that Lille
had gone to some of the neighbors and did not
search for her that night. In the morning
when Charles Field went out TO do his chores
and feed his stock he saw blood, which at once
aroused his suspicious. He followed up the trail,
which led TO small pasture whore the hogs
were kept Behind a clump of bushes he found
the naked BODY or his sister, dlseInooWeleo ana
her flesh guawed and eaten by the hogs. Sus-
picien at pointed to Holong. posse OF
men started in pursuit. and the next morning
ne was found near Wendsll Station. some twenty
miles from the scene of the murder. He at
once admitted his guilt. He claimed that they
became engaged in q sQuabble. and that he
struck her and killed her. and. in order to con-
ceal his crime. had fed her bodv to the hogs,
thinking they would eat her before she was
found. The generally accepted theory, how
ever, is that, finding her alone, he sent the boy
off and ravished her, or killed her in the at
tempt. and then mutilated her body and put it
in the hog pasture. He was thoroughly alarmed
when captured. and it was only the arr'vSl OF
the sheriff that saved him from being lynchad.
Holong tried and convicted. and an effort
Was made TO secure his pardon on the ground of
insanity. hut he was pronounced sane after .
careful examination by Dr.. Bartlett and other
experts.
