ATROCITIES IN NEW MEXICO.
Many Mysterious Murders-Fanatical Son
Beats His Mother to Death.

SANTA FE, \. NJ, Dec. 2f.-fSpecial r.
Mysteries thicken in Colfax county. Two
men, Mexicans, were found dead a week
ago near the Van Bremen lakes. Their
Threats were cut, and beside them lay their
rifles. They had not been robbed, for
money was found in their pockets. Last
night old Julio Martinez, living on the
point, was called to his door and shot down
by parties on the outside. Deputy Sheriff
e. \. Cook is under arrest for the killing.
He says he had warrant for Mar
tinez's arrest issued by Catskill justice,
and shot him while he was resisting the
service of the same.
Another mystery exists in the disap-
pearance some six weeks ago of ] =. Jones,
respected old man residing ON Nermijo
creek, and still another tragedy has oc-
Cured in the death of Mrs Stockbridge
near Ration, who was dead and buried
seventeen days without the intelligence
having been communicated TO any one save
her son, John Stockbridge, and his wife.
An examination revealed the fact that she
had been beaten and strangled to death by
her son, and he has been sent to jail At
his preliminary hearing he attempted TO
explain that he had done everything as di-
reeted by God; that he had not worked for
hve years because God had told him to use
his efforts in another direction; that he
was trying to get evil spirits out of his
mother, and that all his brutal chastise-
mentS were done for her good

SIR JOHN POPE HENNEssY.


Sir John Pope Hennessy is an interest
ing mana man with a history, in fact
He is a son of the late John Hennessv. of
Cork, where he was born in 1884 He was
educated in London and was admitted to
the bar at the Inner Temple in 1861. Two
years before this he entered the House of
Commons as the member for Cork. In
those days he was a Tory in poll
tics and a great admirer of Mr. Dis
raeli. He was the first Catholic Con-
sentative TO sit in the House of Com
mons. As a member OF that body he de-
voted his attention TO the amendment of
the Irish poor law so as to provide for the
rearing of pauper children outside work
houses, and the passing of the prison min
listers act, and amendments to the Mines
regulation bill. He also drew the attention
of the House of Commons TO the decline of
the population of Ireland, urging the gov
eminent to keep the people at home. by
amending the Irish land laws and reclaim
ing the waste lands. Although nominal
Conservative, his whole course in the House
of Commons was am exceedingly liberal
one. In 1867 Sir John left parliament to
enter the colonial service. He has served
successfully as governor of Labuan. the
the Windward islands, Hong Kong and
the Mauritius
On more than one occasion his liberal
and conscientious course as colonial gov
ernor has provoked the remonstrances of
the British residents, the attempted con-
tlnuance of whose unjust treatment of the
natives excited his indignation and oppo-
sluen. He was especially in hot water all
the time that he resided i'll an official ca
pacity at Mauritius.
1t is said Anthony Trollope based upon
Sir John Pope HennesSy his well-known
character Of Phineas Finn. III the two pop
uIar novels, "Phlpeas Finn, the Irish
Member, and 'Phineas Redux"

more than five years a play entitled
shamrock Green, by Charles Stewart
Parnell, esq, NJ. p, has enjoyed prodig-

dis disastrous figure is left to the discretion of

disastrous figure is left to the discretion OF
the merchants concerned.
The Jiji iShimpo is of the same opinion.
1t agrees with the Keizai Zasshi in think
ing it extremely impolitic to hold on until
next spring. The Japanese silk merchants
are advised TO sell by all means within the
year. But in selling they ought 10 pre-
serve their combination IN such manner
that competition among them may not re-
duce the price to ruinous point. There
seem 10 be some persons who even propose
that the Bank of Japan should raise the
rate of interest on the money advanced to
the silk merchants so as TO force them to
sell their goods. But our contemporary
regards such proposal as rash and caleu-
lated TO involve serious trouble.
The Koku-HoR and the Hochi !Shimbun,
writing on the prospects OF foreign trade
in general, seem to take similar view of
the situation, for they base their ealcula-
tions on the supposition that the silk now
remaining unsold win be disposed of with
in the year. Indeed, the former journal
explicitly advises speedy disposal of the
store now lying in Yokohama
