II. Morton were appointed TO draft a sulta-
BILE memorial setting forth the facts, and to
present it to the Legislature.
The following committee was appointed
from each district to solicit the names of
those favOring this move:

THE PLAZA CONCERTS.


The amount received by indiyidua
members of the band monthly for playing
in the plaza is so small as to hardly
warrant their playing daily, and it is
thought that the number OF concerts will
be reduced to correspond to the amount
subscribed by citizens.
At least this is the talk at the post.
Several citizens were asked to-day why
they had reduced their subscriptions, and
the general feeling seems to be that the
falling OIL in contributions complained
Of has been brought about by the
irregularity Of the concerts. Here
tofore the beneficiaries OF this
fund have never failed to appear in the
plaza pagoda when the weather was at all
permissible, but with the present band,
whenever there is an evening program of
private nature to be filled, the afternoon
concert in the plaza is omitted. Thus the
concerts have became irregular. People
have gathered frequently expecting the
band to appear, and have gone home dis
appointed, particularly the ladies and
children. Several subscribers to the
concert fund have long realized this state
OF affairs, but say they have forborne
complaint in hopes that some other sub
scribers or set OF them would courteously
direct attention to it. The New MEXICAN
feels that the business men on the plaza
will gladly contribute their full pro rata to
this fund if the concerts are given daily
as heretofore, Saturday only excepted,

TWO IN JAIL.
Carthage Suspects Taken in-Supt. Rich
ards Warned Of the Attack.

COL Savage, superintendent Of the A.
7. & S. f. coal mines in New Mexico,
passed down the road yesterday to look
carefully into affairs at Carthage. When
Supt. Richards was recently killed and
robbed by brace Of desperadoes from
Texas, q miner named Curr and negro
named Stoner, whose cabin served as
headquarters for the robbers for time,
have been arrested as parties to the crime
and are confined in the Socorro county
Jail. 1t is now claimed that Supt. Rich
ards was warned Of the attack that was
going to be made upon the office the night
before by friendly Colored man by the
name of Hamilton, who had by some
means detected the planned scheme of
the parties who did the killing and their
accomplices.
There is no doubt that Mr.. Richards
was expecting an attack, from the prepare
tons he made for defense. He placed a
gun at the disposition of an engineer,
whose engine was stationed near by, tell
ing him to keep lookout toward the
office, as it was pay day, but owing to the
noise of the steam escaping from the en-
CINE the engineer was not offered very
favorable opportunity of rendering vau-
able assistance. The murderers were
secreted in an old building n short dis
lance in the rear OF the office, and from
evidence obtained the parties who are
now in jail were situated in convenient
place in order to signal the robbers the
most favorable opportunity to make the
attack. 1t is very reasonable to suppose
that the money that was found was hid
at designated place, well understood by
