special to the New Mexican.
WASHINGTON, May o.-Statehood for
New Mexico has been the feature OF the
work Of the delegates thus far this week.
Yesterday they discussed the question
fully and many hours and all were prac-
ticaly of one opinion, but final asree-
ment on the matter was postponed
until Saturday, when Gov. Prince and
Messrs. Gildersleeve, Smith and Stoyer
are expected to return to the city FROM
their briet vacation.
What is considered feather in the
statehood cap is the kindly interest Sem
ator Stewart is exhibiting in the matter
He said he would favor admission, which
is very encouraging to the delegation.
Senator Edmunds is still confined to
his room, but is expected to he on hand
when the delegation calls on the senate
land committee the last OF the week.
ln the talk with Minister Romero, OF
Mexico, that gentleman expressed his
qualification that the question OF land
titles was being pressed by representa-
tive citizens Of New Mexico, and added
that any aid which he could properly
render should be cheeriully given. The
interview was very agreeable one, and
showed that on all points of interest
there is entire unity of action on that
subject.
The delegation attended the funeral
services of Senator Beck, at the capitol,
and Judge l.. A. Trimble, formerly mem
Der OF congress from Kentucky, was one
of the honorable pail bearers. Judge
Trimble served in congress with Senator
Beck, and they were intimate friends.
The delegates are beginning to scatter,
but most OF them will return and will be
here by Saturday. Quite a number OF
them will remain here ten days longer.

The Asylum Fire.


LONG PolNTE, Quebec, May S.-The
laundry of the insane asy lum, in which
100 patients were housed during the night,
has just taken fire. The inmates were
being removed when the fire broke out,
and all are now sale on the outside.
Sister Theresa de Jesus, superloress of
the burned asylum, places the loss OF life
at certainly twenty and possibly fifty.
DR.. Duiuete, government medical inspec.
tor, places the loss Of life at least at sixty.
He il strongly opposed TO the system OF
placing lunatics under the care of tie Sis
ters and will ask the government to place
the incurable and furious lunatiCs in
small institution where they can have
skilled treatment. "rhe harmless insane
could" he said, "be placed to greater adj
vantage under the care OF the sisters"
The ruins of the asylum are nothing but
heaps OF smoking brick and mortar, and
no vestige OF tie dead can be traced.
In the rear of the asy lum are stables,
where about 100 patients were quartered
last night under the supervision of TIE
sisters and four Montreal policemen. The
scene is not one easy to describe or for
get. Lying on heaps OF straw, sickly and
feeble lunatics were to be seen, moaning,
twisting and jumping. 1t made one

Died, at his residence in the village of
Bristol, Kenoshh County, Wisconsin, Feb.
18th, 1890, John Dibble Benedict, aged 80
years.
Mr.. Benedict was born in the town of
Danbury, Fairfield County, Connecticut.
In early life he married Miss Angelina La
cey, sister of j FOL n Lacey, of Bristol. He
came to Kenosha County with his family in
the year 1889, bringing with him his faith
er's family, the two families settling on the
fern he for man y years occupied, and until
he sold in the y ear 1885. Not wishing to
break away from the association of friends
surrounding him, he bought house in the
village of Brist ol, where he resided until
the time of his death
Mr.. Benedict was of genial disposition,
quiet in the sGharge of the duties of life,
always comman ding the confidence and es-
TEEN of his neig hbors and friends. His in
tegrity was unil npeachable and his exam
Pile of conscient Gus religious life worthy Of
emulation. Hi is quiet, unassuming manner
and his social q ualities endeared him to all
with whom he came in contact, either in
business or social relationship. His famil-
lar face and his kindly greetings
will be seen and heard no more, but the
memory of "Uncle Dibble," as he was
familiarity called, will be cherished by all,
and his loss sew erely felt by the old settlers
Of the county,
Thus one by one the pioneers of the
County are passing away, leaving a rich
legacy to future generations, of life spent
in the active discharge of the duties of
life. having BEEN instrumental in develop
ing the resource s of the county, transform
ing the native prairie and woodland into
magnificent far ms, with splendid appoint
ments of buildings and all modern improve
ments
Can it be sai b that these pioneers have
looked in vain in looking at their achieve
ments? No. L little do the present genera
ton know of the privations, the struggles,
the anxieties of the first settlers. Surely to
be ungrateful for the legacies left them
would be as ba Sc as the ingratitude of the
child toward the mother that loves him.
No greater tribute to the subject of this
sketch c. n be made this. That, living for
more than hal a century among the people
of the town of Bristol, he lived an honest,
upright man, q christian gentleman, whose
religion was Of the religion of the New
Testament S. riptures, the fundamental
principle of which is of doing unto others
as we would W ish to be done by.
He has gone to his reward, in peace

beers present were opposed to the adoption
the association take up the propositions al
ready handed in, and such as might be
offered at the meeting, and take action
upon them at once. Cory's motion was
opposed by Messrs. Davis and Parchen. A.
j. Seligman called for division of the
question. Before this was done the secre-
tary was asked to read the bylaws. From
the reading it appeared that no proper
notice had been given to enable the associa-
ton to take such action at last nights
meeting. The first part of the question, as
to taking up the propositions, was put and
carried. The latter part of the motion the
chairman ruled to be out of order. Apropo-
sition was made by X. Jockey, of the property
on the southeast corner of Sixth avenue and
Elm street for $4,000. He also stated that
he expected to be able to offer the ground
on the northeast corner of jackson street
and Sixth avenue by the latter part of
next week. The price was not given. On
motion L. G. Phelps the secretary was in
structed to issue the notices required by the
bylaws, also to embody in the notices the
propositions made to the building site COM
mittee. Mr.. Floyd-Jones stated on behalf
of Semple Ames that the latter gentleman
desired to have it understood in connection
with the offer made by him at a former
meeting that in case his proposition was &C
cepted and the building erected, the ground
should revert to him in the event the build
ing burned down and was not rebuilt with
in five years. The meeting then adjourned.
