WHY ALL THESE FIRES?
PEOPLE WILL TALK, WHEN CIRCuM-
STANCES WARRANT 1T.
A Leading Insurance Man Is Moved to
Express Few Healthy Sentiments,
to the End That the Uninsured and In
surance Companies May Be Saved.

1t must have struck the average citizen
that the number OF fires recently has been
altogether out OF proportion, and when
thus impressed people have way OF
holding to opinions and letting them DO
known.
Generally speaking. the tendency under
such circumstances is to talk OF 'sus-
picion," "dull business" tempting in-
surance policies" etc, all implying that
the blaze had no, its origin in pure, I'M
avoidable accident
Drawn out on this point by an ArrEAL
reporter yesterday, leading and thought

city, has received u telegram that his hall
brother, Nick Boyce, who had been work
ing for the Prairie Cattle company, at the
Crosselle ranch, had been shot and hiled
by man named Lige Smith, Who had

Echo Of tho 4tIl.

As fur as heard from Santa Fe's cele-
bration OF the 4th was ahead Of every
thing in the territory outside of Deming,
where lour silver spikes were driven to
inaugurate the construction Of the SIN
aloa, Sonora & Chihuahua railroad.
This is cause for self congratulation when
taken in connection with the fact that
preparations for the event were only un-
dertaken a week beforehand, while
every other town had been at work upon
its program for u whole month. Las
Vegas made q fine showing with its
program OH paper, but she seems to have
wasted her energies OH the intensity Of
her resolve, for 1t takes less than third
of column to tell which part of the
program Was carried out and whicl, part
wasn't. Albuquerque, too, failed in get
ting there in quite as satisfactory man
ner as the people were led to anticipate,

Fourth of JULY Celebration,


The patriotic citizens of south Santa Fe
will have a great 4th of July celebration
of their own on Monday next. The 9Th
is the day when the news OF the sigma
ture of the declaration of independence is
supposed to have reached Santa Fe. 1T
will be remembered, that liz years ago
the main line Of railroad was only COM
pleted as far as Denver. from where the
great news came to Santa Fe by the mar
row gauge, hence the delay.)
The following committees have been ap.
pointed so far:
On Reception-Everybody living east Of
Palace avenue.
On Arrangenent-Everybody living on
the plaza and within q few blocks OF it.
On Entertainment--Everybody else.
If by oversight any citizens have been
left without a place on ahy committee,
they will obl:ge the managers by sending
in their names Immediately, for special
committees hereafter to be appointed.
The following program has been ar
ranged:
The reading Of the declaration OF inde-
7endence, both in English and Spanish,
by prominent citizens, will be dispensed
with, as every child has heard it before.
There may, however, very likely be sever
al fine speeches by foreign and domestic
orators. There will also be prize shooting
all day at the Creedmoor Shooting Gal
lery; and in the evening a magnificent
pvrotechnic display and other fireworks
in the open lot near the A., T. & S. f.
depot, opposite the Creedmoor Shooting
Gallery, where lemonade, milk shakes
book bier and other drinks in season can
be had in order to celebrate thoroughly

The Albuquerque National bank has
subscribed $1,000 to the fund to secure
the building of the Atlantic & Pacific to
San Pedro. That makes $40, 900 from the
two national banks, and is liberal con.
tribution from these liberal institutions.
This leaves $G5, 900 to be raised by the
citizens, and the sum will no doubt be
subscribed this week. Gen. Williamson

await the action of the people OF this

The Optic is not at liberty to print the
details just now, but it is fact, never

that the work will be commenced at
