A babv hippopotamus was ushered into

K A baby hippopotamus was ushered into the world at midnight on Sunday Tn the menagerie in Central Park, New York. The birth is the first of the kind ever re- corded in this country. Mother and child were vigorously excluded from all but the most privileged visitors. The mother of the baby is, or was, Miss Murphy, who was brought to New York few years ago from the banks of the Upper Nile. She was then buxom young woman, scarcely two years old, and weighing more than ton. In three years her weight has nearly doubled. The father is Caliph, who was purchased two years ago by the park au- thorities from the Cincinnati Geological Garden. The infant resembles the mother and is female. She weighs nearly fifty size and appearance to a young pig ready skin is soft and pink tinted, and the color is especially becoming to the baby hippo potafnus. Her eyes are large and brown, and her mouth has the capacity of hand valise Her legs are short, and pair of lstubby gray bits of ears project from either side of the baby's head. She clambered around briskly yesterday and showed an inclination to be playful. Dr. .Conklin has strong hopes of raising the baby, which is the first born in the country since early geological times. Several have been born within few years in European menag- cries, but only one or two of them have survived.
 PHosPHoREsoENT REFLECTION. The GU. rious discovery has been made that the phosphorescence frequently exhibited by the crustacea is infectious. A French nat uralist, M. Giard, lately traced the phos- phorescent light in Zalitrus and other crustacea to bacteria in the muscles, which showed signs of disease. On inoculating healthy individuals, the same luminous appearance was produced. The disease runs regular course, and the crustacea died in three or four days, the phosphor essence lasting little after death

The Race War In Illinois.

ClncAGo, September 16.-A dis
patch from I.awrcnceville, ILL.,, says :
A race war between whites and
blacks occurred here Saturday night.
n few days ago ST. Louis negro
named Slick came to town and Satur-
day afternoon in quarrel with a
white man Slick attacked him with a
knife. The. white man escaped after
having received two wounds and
then Slick dashed down the street
slashing at every one. Judge Barnes,
OF tho county &C +, ordered the ne
gro to stop. The legro attacked the
Judge, but the latter rctaliated by
knocking him down. The negro was
then disarmed and arrested. Mean
while the blacks, hearing of the ar
rcst, determined to rescue the pris.
oner. A few white men rallied
around the Judge. There was a
hard fight in which the negroes were
beaten back and all the ringleaders
were arrested. The prisoners we're
taken to the county jail and the
sheriff and his deputies were ordered
by the Judge to guard the building.
The blacks quickly organized and
made an attack on the Jail. The
sheriff was ordered to fire on them,
but refused and the negroes forced
their way in the jail and rescued the
prisoners. Judge Barnes organized
the whites and attacked tho blacks
at the Jail There was a bloody fight,
in which pistols, knives and clubs
were used. Judge Barnes was cut
and shot, but his wounds are not
fatal. DIR. Johnson, Ed. Lamb, and
three other white mon were seriously
hurt. Two negroes were shot and
half hundred heads were broken.
The whites won and the ringleaders
were again put in Jail and heavy
guard was placed around the build
ing. The riot has created great cx-
citcmcnt.

GOT HIS CASH.
Ex-Sheriff Pine. OF Valencia, Duped by a
Maynard Woman.

Since the disappearance Of Donaciano
Pine, ex-sherif OF Valencia, was noted in
these columns d few days ago, his friends
have been pretty busy tracing him down,
and they are grieved at the result OF
their investigations.
Pine left Belen on the I'd inst for Santa
Fe and stopped over at Albuquerque till the
9th. Thence he came to Santa Fe for the
purpose of settling his accounts as sheriff
with the territorial auditor, and paying
over to that officer the sum of $500,
which amount he carried ON his person in
cash. Now, the story goes, he pro-
ceeded from the depot at once to a
disreputable house near Water street
and there fell in with woman
named Mary Motta. His friends say he
spent at least two days here in her com
pany and she, learning that he had the
money with him, induced him to make a
trip with her to the wicked village OF
Trinidad. A day and night they spent
in Trinidad, when the sly siren robbed
Mr. Pine of all the money he had, some
$1,000, and fled to Denver.
Pino's friends say he is now in Trini-
dad, sore at heart, sick and stranded, ours
ing his luck and down on the world gen
orally. Pine has u nice little wife in
Valencia county, and his people are
wealthy aud popular. They will be
shocked and grieved to learn these ugly
stories,

SUPREME COURT.
Opinions on the Question of Damages and
the s. p. II. II. Land Grant.

In the supreme court yesterday the fol-
lowing opinions were handed down:
No. 29l-Territory ex rel. Simon Lyser
vs.. Rindskof Bros. Opinion by JUS
tice Henderson, Chief Justice Long and
Justice Reeves concurring.
This is a suit on an attachment bond.
The principal question discussed by coun.
sci for appellants was the action of the
lower court in permitting plaintiff to prove
and the jury to assess, as a portion OF
plaintiffs damages, the sum paid attor-
neys for defending the attachment suit.
In addition to this, in connection with
the proofs SO offered, they insisted that
the sum of $500 paid counsel was not
reasonable in amount, and that even if
counsel fees may be included in making
up an estimate of plaintiffs damages,
only reasonable sum can be allowed.
In the district court the plaintiff re-
covered judgment for $500 damages.
Finding no error, Justice Henderson
afirms this judgment.
No. 250-The Southern Pacific Railway
Co. of New Mexico VS.. Teofilo Esqui-
bel. Opinion by Justice Reeves, Chief
Justice Long and Justice Brinker con-
curing.
Esquibel filed a claim for land, OH an
odd section, within the boundary of the
land grant given by congress to the South
ern Pacific Railway company Of New
Mexico, and which company, including its
railway tracts, land grant, etc, was subse-
quently acquired by the Texas & Pacific
railroad company. By this suit the rail
road company sought to establish its
rights to hold the grant after congress had
declared the same forfeited. The jury
in the district court was instructed to find
in favor Of Esquibel, and so found, and the
case now comes up on appeal by the rail
road company. Judge Reeves holds that
the company failed to comply with its
contract with the government in many
particulars; that it has forfeited all claims
to the grant; that congress has so de-
clared; that the proposition that power
to mortgage said alleged grant includes
and carries with it power to sell the
same is not supported by authority of law ;
that the railroad company had no stand
ing in court in its case against Esquibel,
and accordingly the decision in the lower
court is affirmed.

THE WAY TO DO 1T.
A Private Water Enterprise that Hal
Proven a Big Success.

The annual meeting of the stockholders
of the Mesilla Valley Irrigation company
was held ON Monday at the village of
Brunswick. The following officers and
directors were elected for the ensuing
year: President and overseer, Geo. A.
Mossman; vice president, David Jones;
secretary, Herbert H. RUSSELL assistant
overseers, Frank Kraupp, John Hogans;
directors, George w. Mossman, David
Jones, J. F. Priest, w. S. Gillian, Ernest
Russell.
The Mesilla Valley Irrigation company
is composed Of farmers living or owning
land along the east side oithe Rio Grande
from Mesquite station, on the Santa Fe
railway about thirty-two miles above FL
Paso, to the state line at Anthony. The
canal is about thirty-two miles long.
There are at present about thirty stock
holders. The company was organizedand
chartered about three years ago with capl-
tai stock of $4,000, divided into $1,000
shares of the par value OF 81 per share.
The canal is maintained by the levy of
assessments on the stock, the stockhold-
ers working out their assessments at the
rate of $l.25 per day for the labor of
man or team. No effort has yet been
made to pay dividends on the stock, since
it IS all held by the consumers OF water,
who are satisfied to get water at cost
A bad washout near the head Of the
canal last year necessitated the digging OF
about mile and half Of new ditch be-
sides the annual cleaning To meet this
demand and also to enlarge the canal an
assessment was levied, amounting to
about $4,000. Work was begun upon this
assessment December IL. The new por-
ton of the canal has been completed and
the cleaning and widening will be finished
by February 2. The line of the upper
end of the canal has been changed so
that it is believed no such washouts will
be experienced in future and the assess
ments will therefore be light. When the
work now in progress is completed the
company will have one Of the best canals
in all the territory.
