A car load of material for the improve
ment of the Exchange hotel is en- route
from Kansas City. n
Little or no damage was done the fruit
by last nights hail storm.
S. B. Hibben, of Flagstaff, of the Ari-
IONA Red Stone company, was here last
night on business with the contractors
for the Weber block.
John Becker is building neat resi-
dence on the south side, and it is said that

soon become its new mistress.

The mail from the east is expected in
about O'Clock. Last night freight
train collided with pie-driver train near
Sulzbacher station and pretty serious
wreck resulted, although the report that
nine people had been killed seems to be
unfounded.
The Quintette clubs second social hop
at Lincoln hall tonight bids fair to prove
quite as great success as the first one.
The hall has been beautifully decorated
for the occasion and sumptuous supper
will be served at midnight.
o-ad "lav banks for making brick are
in demand. just wv n,n hill from the
brewery is big deposit of genuine n. ),
clay. What's the matter with that? AS
far as known it can be had for the taking,
as the land is said to belong to the public
domain.
Governor Prince, Col. Frost, Mr.. Boyle,
John Morton, Chas. Dudrow, Mr.. Cat
ron, Judge Thornton, ]. D. Allan, F. T.
Weber and L. M. Nelly are planning to
depart for Denver in a day or two, as
delegates to the Trans-Missssippi con-
gress.
The Hamlin Comedy company gave a
very clever entertainment at the court
house last night There was not the least
attempt at unduly displaying the "female
form divine" and if the thing had had
any other name than that of "The Fakir"
it would doubtless have drawn a big
house. The fun was clean, the music ex.
cellent.
Should Santa Fe fail to carry the in
corporation movement there are, it ap-
pears, whole lot Of people who will
quit the town in disgust. One man who
has put about $I2, 900 into real estate here
lately, said to-day that this Investment
would be followed up with ten times this
amount if incorporation carries-"but il
it DON'T" he added, "then quit and
know several prominent investors who
will do likewise"
A fellow is about town claiming that he
represents lot of territorial and western
newspapers and can "boom the town
by his write.ups, provided his palms are
we'll creased. The greasing is the CHIEF
feature, of course, and it is said that sew.
eral citizens have been d fools enough
to respond to his demands. From past
experiences one would think that SAINTS
Feans had had quite enough Of this sor
of fake business.
Billy Davis, who has been employed al
engineer for the New MEXICAN for the
past month, was so carried away with the
fair damsels of the Hamlin Comedy
troupe that he threw up his job last nigh
and left with the party for the south

genius will assert itself. In persona
appearance Billy is roley-poley, rather
handsome and apt, SO that he can prob
ably prove quite as handy about the stage
as about printing office engine room
As far as heard from he left no unpaiC
bills.
