81. John-bury, Thur-day, July es, 1853

The compromise railroad bill has
unanimously passed both branches
of the New Hampshire legislature,
and was signed by Gov. Goodell yes
terday. The Concord railroad will
now consolidate with the B. c. & NJ,
and its White Mountain branches,
and the Boston & Maine takes the
Northern. This law has put an end
to the great railroad fight, and will
happily settle all controversies.
The political lightning seems to be
playing around again in Lamoille
county, always an extremely lucky
section when good Offices are at
disposal. This time the President
appoints Henry c. Fisk of Norris
vile consul at St. Johns, Que. Mr..
Fisk is editor of the Citizen, member
of the last state senate and brother
in-law of Carroll S. Page. There is
no earthly reason why he cannot
creditably fill the position.

ANOTHER LUCKY Man
Don't you wish it was you
or your wife ?

Twenty years ago last Tuesday, John Well
foot, a well known employee at the Scale
Works, secured twenty-year endowment
policy of the Equitable Life Assurance Society
of New York for which the yearly premium
was to be S49.79 For various reasons, he
paid the premiums every three months, max
ing it cost him little extra Today shall
pay him 81 .O44.42, the odd money being his
annual dividend for last year. His annual
dividends used every three months, have re-
duced the cost of his Policy about % per
cent making the cash outlay not far from
SITS. 90, giving him a profit of some S270,
or not far from per cent compound interest
outside of the protection enjoyed by the Pol
icy. Still it is a common thing to hear peo-
pie say that no Insurance Co. pay back
much money as you pay in. If i can't
show you hundreds of cases in this state,
paid inside of a year, / will insure you for
nothing and be pleased to do it. John says,
IF any one says he could have done equally
as well to have put his money in a Savings
Bank, tell them that if it had been in a Bank
he would have spent it a dozen times"
With this money he will buy the property
just across SleepeTs River of John Belknaps
estate. making him nice home for the small
savings put by. Go thou and do likewise.

TUE Spell Is BROKEN.
A Grateful N.iu-Ilruds in the Noun
tain5-S sIne TropNeci.s'

As is usual after 50 long dry spell as
this section has had, the storm broke yes
tcrlay with extraordinary floods Ill many
parts of the Rocky mountain country.
The vivid flashes of chain andsheet light
ming which were t. be seen lust night to-
ward the west, p&tcndin& i!pn north OF
the Vale mountains far down the Rio
Grundc, Indicate that the ,t"fn mnst lave
been a remarkable onn nEnt that quarter.
1t is probable that it covered the entire
Rocky mountain rtuHtfy rom Denver
south to the McXir0 line. Between Den
yer and Pueblo several railroad bridges
were carried ont, dolatin.g the narrow

this morning, eleven hours late. North
west of Trinidad Il great Yoldmc Of water
fell in the shape OF 4 rIo&d hurst, winch
sent wave six fec high doNnthe lurTa-
toirc, doing some damage, Toward the
south there WAS also heavy floods, which
serve to d,lay to days mail from Mexico
and the Pacific.
In Santa Fa the elements seldom ii
ever are violent. and here there was q
great cloud OF vapor that gave everything
4 steady soaking. This may be counted
the beginning Of our annual period of
rainfall, and it is hailed with joy by
everybody. \ citizen with some regard
Tor his reputation as a meteorologist says
these rain periods usually last three weeks
here. He predicts showers for the next
three afternoons, then few days OF fair
weather and then drenchlng rain that
will be followed by showers almost daily
throughout the regular period.

The matter OF reminding the past d".

held by ". n. ColcrFame up in another
form to-day. ]. II. Knaebel, rs attorney
Tor Coler, presented to Judge Whitcman
an application for Il peremptory writ OF

amounting all told to about SOL 900.
On behalf OF two members OF the coun-

opposing the issuance OF any such writ,
and upon Mr.. Laughins appliance the
point vas made by Mr.. knaebcl that Mr..

WHAT WE COULD DO.
A Unique Exhibit Proposed Something
More of Santa Fe at the Fair.

Sec Hawley, Of the Territorial Fair as
soclation, has written here to ascertain
whether or not the Santa Fe fire depart.
ment will be represented in the tournn-
ment for southwest teams which takes
place at Albuquerque in September The
secretary's letter will be discussed BY the
fire boys, and it is barely possible they
may decide to take part III this contest
and again demonstrate that Santa Fe is
worthy Of the place she has held for five
years, the southwest championship. The
local fire department has trophies to prove
this claim.
Another gentleman suggests that this is
an opportune time also to make Il general
county exhibit, his idea being that such q
display as would attract much attention
could be made if every town and village
in Santa Fe county could be represented
by one commodity or more in which that
town or village felt special interest. For
instance, here is the way it might be ar
ranged: Santa Fe, fruits, flowers, vegeta-
bles, cereals and poultry; Cerrilos, an.
thracte coal, silver and lead San Pedro,
copper, galena and carbonates; Dolores,
gold, silver and iron; Lamv, charcoal +;
Ortiz station, bituminous coal and coke !;
Bonanza, turquoise and garnets; Chilli,
wool GlOricta, lumber and fish, Santa
Cruz, alfalfa and fruits; Tesuque, vegeta-
bles, cereals and fruits; Poajoaque, barley
and fruits; Espanola, hay and grain ;
Aqua Fria, hay and grain Cieneguilla,
grain, fruits and vegetables.
And, 10y the way, speaking Of the fair
again, Mr.. Arthur Boyle, the vice presi-
dent OF the association for Santa Fe coun-
ty, is planning to make large individual
exhibit this fall OF home grown fruits, and
he expresses the hope that local producers
generally and also the coal and precious
metal miners will join in doing likewise
He states that while on visit to Colorado
recently he met many parties who dis
played deep interest in New Mexico
material growth, and having heard OF
what Santa Fe had accomplished in the
line OF raising fruits and cereals, not a
few of them inquired if this country in
| tended having an exhibit at the fair, say
ing they intended visiting New Mexico
and were prone to plan their trip SO as to
get down here during the fair in order
that they might see for themselves just
what this county was capable Of produc'
ing. Mr.. Boyle thinks it pure matte,
of business that Santa Feans should unite
in making n large exhibit at the fair next
month.
if these various localities would do il
they could make wonderful exhibit OF
the above representative commodities
which would do much to verify the claim
that Santa Fe county is naturally the
richest piece of territory for its size on
the American continent.
The suggestion that public meeting be
called to consider this unique method OF
advertising our resources seems to meet
with popular approval, and the chances
are that such meeting will be held in the
near future.

The Reduced Passenger Rates.

DENVER, July lO.-The cut in rates tc
Chicago and st. Louis was the principal
topic Of conversation in railway circles
Yesterday. Placards announcing rate
of $26 were being posted by every line
running into the city. The Union Pacific
at 10 o'clock had disposed Of seventy-fvt
or more on the $26 basis to Chicago anC
S22 50 to St. Louis. 1t was announced
by the Burlington people that they woulC
sell at that rate to-day, and a like state
ment was obtained at the Santa Fe head
quarters. The D., T. 4 +. W. is also
selling at the same rate and will transfer
business to the Santa Fe and Rock ISLAND
at Pueblo.
The Times says: The general impress
sion is that the rate will 90 much lower
before the fight ends. AT present the re-
duction applies to all eastern points cor
respondingly, and il operating on al

THE LATEST APPOINTEE.
a Grant County Citizen Writes OF the
Newly Named Indian Agent.
To the Editor Of the New Mexican.

TO the Editor of the New Mexican,
SILVER CITY, n. NJ, July Z, '89.-ln
your notice oil the appointment Of VIM. p.
Mcclure to the Pueblo Indian agency You
mention that the new agent is not well
known in your part Of New Mexico, this
prompts me to assist you in q bit of his
past record
When the war broke out Mr.. Mcclure
was one OF the first in the state OF Iowa to
leave his business, family and friends to
take up arms in defense of his country
flag. He o.unteered about May !, 1861,
and was mustered into the United States
service rs LIST lieutenant OF company L in
the lst Iowa cavalry about the 18th OF
June, 1861.
MIR. Mcclure served CALAMITY and faith
fully with his regiment for two years, when
his impaired sight and injured hearing
neCessltated his muster out on account OF
disabilities, from one OF which he has not
yet fully recovered.
No more faithful officer than Mcclure
belonged to any regiment in the service,
anu IL SdCllllCtS iOI one country IHerlls
any recognition the appointment you
have ehronichled is Justly merited and will
reflect credit upon the appointing power.
The writer entered the service with
"B" company OF the same regiment, and
WAS with it from the first hour OF its ex-
istance until its muster out in Texas, and
therefore had an opportunity of intimate
ly knowing Mr.. Mcclure, and has known
him ever since. Mr.. McClure's iealty to
the Republican party can not be ques-
toned when it is known that he returned
his appointment to an Indian agency UNI
der Andrew johnson as soon as it be-
came evident that johnson was drifting
from Republicanism. JOHN A. MILLER.
