GEN. JOE JOHNsTON,s ILLNESS.

He May Live Some Time, But the Chances
Arc Against Permanent Recovery.
Gen. Joseph E. Johnston is extremely i'll at
his residence, 1923 Connecticut avenue For
nearly month past the general has suffered
considerably from. fatty degeneration Of the
heart and that trouble has at last
reached q stage where it puzzles medical
science. Gen. Johnston was one of the pail
bearers at the funeral Of Gen. Sherman and
was Mt that time in apparently good health
Shortly afterward, one evening, he
thoughtlessly exposed himself in cold
current Of air and the result was
the complication which now promises to result
seriously. DR.. N. s. Lincoln, who has been the
generals medical adviser for several years, is
doing his utmost to ameliorate his patient
condition, and believes this afternoon that he has
temporarily succeeded. The general rested
more easily last night than he has for some
time and the attacks of heart trouble were
amenable to treatment. This afternoon
the general was in about the same
condition. He may live for some time, but the
chances are against anything like permanent
recovery because of his advanced age; he is
about eighty-three years old.

Mr.. MAY0'S VIEWS.
The Chairman of the County Board OF
Commissioners on the Coler
Bond Case,

To the Editor of the New Mexican
GOLDEN, Sept. 16.-Since the suit in
the Coler bond case has been decided ad.
verse to the county of Santa Fe by the
district court and the supreme court o.
the territory, and whereas mandamus
has been served upon the board of coun.
ty commissioners of the county of SAINTS
Fe, commanding them to levy a tax fol
the interest on the bonds now held by
Coler ct al and for the past interest now
due, amounting to some $4,000, there
fore it is deemed advisable by the board
of county commissioners of Santa Fe
county that full and due notice should
be given the people of the county that
the matter of the disposition of the case
will come up before the board at meet
ing which will be held on Saturday, the
26th day of September next.
One of three things must be done: The
levy must be made to meet the debt,
which will be disastrous to the county a
compromise made, or an appeal taken to
the supreme court of the United States.
In the latter case bond must be pre-.
pared in the SUM of 100000, or more,
and responsible citizens must be willing
to 90 on the bond.
1t seems just and right and proper that
settlement be made, but there may be
advanced good reasons why Coler, ct al,
should make reduction in the claims
against the county, and in case OF failure
of satisfactory compromise, l shall
strongly favor an appeal to the supreme
court of the United States.
Very respectfully,
j. B. MAYO,
Chairman Board of Co. Commissioners.
