ROUND ABOUT TOWN.


An all-around clever o Id timer prophe
cies a fine rain before Monday next
Letterain!
At Lamy yesterday twenty-one cars OF
cattle belonging to the Bowman ranch,
and just sold at a handsome figure, were
loaded for Kansas feed pens.
At A p. m. tomorrow all 4th Of July
committeeman will meet at Capt. Gray's
office for the purpose of preparing the
program to be carried ont on Independ-
ence day.
W. NJ. Capple, Daniel Day, Elijah Cap
pie, of Hope, Kss., arrived last night in
prairie schooners and are looking for a To-
cation. They will probably invade the
beautiful Manzano valley.
A forfeit of 800 was yesterday put up
for race on July between Judge Hlario
Ortiz horse and the Baca runner, Re-
genge, from Albuquerque. The contest
is for purse OF 5000.
Upward of $50 people went out this
morning to the dedication of the San Juan
rock church. The party was accompanied
by the San Michael's college band. Be-
sides the regular Santa Fe Southern train
it took special train of six coaches to
carry the crowd.
Prof. Landrum opened his dancing
academy at Gray's opera house yesterday,
starting in with twenty pupils. There is
nothing that lends so much grace to chill
dren as thorough training in such
schools, This is an opportunity for the
little ones of Santa Fe that every parent
should take advantage Of.
NJ. T. Case, OF the Union Pacific road,
was in town yesterday trying to convince
merchants that shipments over the mar
row gauge could be brought in as cheaply
as over the Santa Fe, but it wouldn't
work. You can't catch an old Santa Fe
bird with that kind of Denver chat, Mr..
Case.
AS result OF Geographic correspon-
dence between Major Summerhayes and
the qusrtermaster general all additional
sum of $500 was to-day ordered to be ex-
pended in completing the Fort Marcy
granery now in progress of construction.
The building is capacious and substan-
tial one and when finished will cost about
$1,000.
The iron settees for the plaza arrived
last night over the narrow gauge, and q
big freight bill has now to be met. Why
the shipment was made over the narrow
gauge is mystery, as the freight charges
by that route on frst-class matter are
from 20 to 80 cents higher than over the
Santa Fe line, while on second class
matter, such as is these settees, it is from
90 to % cents higher per hundred pounds.
Besides, the Santa Fe company had agreed
to make very material reduction in the
freight charges for these settees.
Sheriff J. L. Perea, of Bernalillo coun-
ty, arrived to-day and placed the follow
ing prisoners in the penitentiary: Gabriel
Gallegos, murder, three years; Pablo Pc
rea, murder, twenty-one years; Jose Ara
los, assault with deadly weapon, three
years; Burt. Curtis, larceny, one year
Sosteno Baca, larceny, one year; Nicolas
Lucero, larceny, one year; James Fenton,
larceny, one year; George Wadham, alias
Warehouse, larceny, one year.
Judge Waldo and Mr.. F. w. Clancy
were present at the meeting of the board
Of regents Of the territorial university held
last evening at Albuquerque. In accord
ance with certain sketches submitted to
it, the board passed a resolution calling
for plans for university building, the
cost of which shall not exceed $50, 1000,
and if the plans SO prepared call for
building that can not be built within
$4,000, the board will not accept the
plans, nor will it allow any remuneration
for preparing them.
Hon. ]. R. McFie, Judge OF the Sd judi
cial district, and Hon. S. B. Newcomb,
the well known Las Cruces attorney, ar
rived here to-day from Mesilla valley Ell
route to Washington. Judge McFie is
taking his first vacation, and visits Wash
ington to urge the passage OF the bill pro-
viding fifth judicial district for New
Mexico. After using his best endeavors
for this measure among congressional
friends he will visit his former home ia
Randolph county, Illinois, expecting to
return in thirty days. Judge Newcomb's
stay will be prolonged in Washington, as
he will not only urge upon members of
congress the passage of the fifth associate
justice bill, but will use his influence to
secure the land court measure and say
good word as to the justice Of admitting
New Mexico as state. May the best of
good results attend the mission OF these
truly representative New Mexicans,
