TURNED LOOSE.

That Santa Fe has really entered upon
a new and progressive era was fully dem
onstrated last evening when the closing
of the polls revealed the result of the
vote on city incorporation. The official
count showed the following figures:
Precinct. For AGAINST
Upper Santa Fe, 81 u
Lower Santa Fe, 1893 80
Totals, 700 102
Total vote cast out of voting population
of 1,025-8ll.
When 6 clock came, enough was
known to make the friends of incorpora
ton feel sure of big majority, and the
victory was announced amid noisy din
such as Santa Fe has never before ex-
perienced. Every steam whistle in town
and the fire bell were turned loose and for
more than An hour there were the wild
est scenes to be noted everywhere about
the streets. A great crowd thronged San
Francisco street and the plaza. The
excited populace appeared with tin horns,
fife and drum and other noisy instru-
ments. and such roar and CHATTER as
there was it would indeed be hard to
describe. The big steam whistle
at the electric light works rat
tied away for an hour; the two south
side paniLg mills and the Fischer ice
manufactory's whistles echoed back the
glad tidngs from their respective local
tiles, while down on Water street Messrs.
Fletcher, Bernstein and Krumpegel kept
an anvil belching forth its full share of
]ubilant explosions. This was kept up,
amid the congratulations Of the people
that thronged the public places, until 7
O'Clock, and at dusk the
| CELEBRATION OF THE EVENT
was again taken up, this time with more
hilarity than ever. the brass band was
called out, and torch-light procession OF
several hundred footmen was formed that
spent about half the night taking in the
town" Every carriage and hack was on
active duty and loaded down with jolly
jewellers. Bon fires and fireworks, the
noise of fife and drum and the loud hur-
rahs of the crowds that gathered at many
various points served to increase the en-
thusiasm and make the night the most
memorable one in the modern history OF
the ancient city. There never was in
New Mexico such an exhibition of hilarity !;
everybody was Sin it," even many who
had been lukewarm in advocating city
incorporation, and the spirit that every
where prevailed serves as happy augury
Of the new life that has fallen upon Santa
Fe.
| THE NEXT MOVE.
The citizens executive committee, which
has so we'll managed this undertaking
throughout, will make their next move
in day or two by meeting at the office
of Major Knaebel and arranging for
further compliance with the law relating
= to the incorporation of cities. This in
cludes canvass of the vote by the coun-
ty board Of commissioners and the is
suance of call by that body declaring
the election for incorporation carried, and
naming date upon which the election
y of city officers shall take place. This call
will have to allow at least fourteen days
] time to elapse before the election of city
officers occurs. and in the mean time the
people will have ample opportunity to
discuss the merits of the various candi-
dates. The committeeman seem to be
unanimous in the opinion that neither
political issues or any faint of factional
differences must be allowed to creep into
this effort to advance along Santa Fee
commercial and industrial welfare. They
say that conservative men must be Sc.
Iected for the Offices men who will grasp
| the situation as it exists here in it's many
peculiarities men who will be lenient in
pushing new enterprises, who will labor
only for the advancement and good of all
the people residing within the incorpor-
ated limits.

the field for the several city offices, and
