That ssBOuIder.S

The stone which was thrown down upon the track of the Canal railroad Tuesday night at State street bridge was 8 rectan- gular slab, weighing nearly half a ton, and long enough to stretch completely across the rails. It's thickness was two or three feet and there is no doubt whatever in the minds of those who saw it's position on the track that it was deliberately thrown there and that it would certainly have caused a disastrous wreck if it had been left upon the rails. Officer O'Connors states that he was unable without help to roll away the rock from where it fell. Drunk or sober the man who would be the means of placing rock like that in the way of train deserves long term in state prison.

 Shortly after the arrival of the party at the shore an impromptu base ball game was played between hines purporting to represent the boards of councilmen and aldermen. The hines were made up as follows: Councilmen-Smith, Martin, Bradley, Ahearn, Donlan, Cleveland, Aldermen-Forbes, Kelley, Groark, Lowe, Callahan, Wolfe, Prince, Carrigan, Gil bert and Hitler. Jack Homer, the well known pitcher of the late local base ball club, offciated as umpire. One and a half innings was played and the game was then called on account of heat. No one of the official scorers could tell how low the score stood, but on the authority of Alderman Lowe the score will go down to posterity as 34 to 16 in favor of the aldermen.

TUCSON, A. T., March 4.-Specials to
Citizen from the flooded districts through

is rapidly subsiding. The Gila river
at Florence and crossing Of Phoenix &
Marcopa railway is shifting its course
nearly mile, leaving bridges high and
dry. Management of the Phoenix
& Maricopa and Arizona and
New Mexico railroads state it will be
fully two months before the roads will
be in operation. Damage to the South
ern Pacific Is over $4,000. Phoenix is
still cut off from telegraphic communica-
ton, but an arrival states that 800 fami-
lies are homeless, though not suffering
where the food wiped towns completely
out of existence. Irrigation bitches along
Salt and Gila rivers are badly damaged.
No communications expected between

there are no hills for refuge, it is reported

FOR CITY INCORPORATION.
A Business Mems Conference ard the
Result-A Mass Meeting for Mon
day Afternoon.

A dozen or fifteen of the leading busi-
ness men OF Santa Fe finally got together
on the incorporation subject yesterday
aftern con. They met at the office of Major
G. w. Knaebel and for an hour or more
this vital question was considered. Every
one present was unqualifidely in favor of
taking the step at the earliest moment,
but there was some difference Of opinion
as to how this could be best done so as to
enlighten the masses and impress
upon all the importance, the
necessity, of early action. Several
plans were suggested. The law
was also discussed, and it was stated that
ignorance of the benefits to be derived
by all classes from incorporation was
solely responsible for failure to take this
step long ago 1t was, accordingly, re-
solved to call mass meeting of all the
citizens to be held at the court house at a
O'Clock on Monday next, to consider the
matter. A committee composed of Messrs.
S. Wedeles, l.. A. Hughes and &. w.
Knaebel was named to examine the in
corporation laws and report clearly and
fully all details to this proposed mass
meeting. During the conference it was
announced by Messrs. S. Spiegelberg and
S. Wedeles that his grace, Archbishop
Salpointe, had been called upon in refer
ence to this subject, and that he was in
favor of and would unite with the citi'
zens in working for city incorporation
Let all turn out at O'Clock on Monday
The outlook is most encouraging.

A Wonderful Machine

There is no doubt that man is fine
mechanism, but like every other machine
he wears out by friction. 1t is said that
he is born every two or three years. His
body is virtually re-made from food. To
retard this making over is radically
wrong, as man Loses so much vitality in
the delayed process that it takes long
time to recuperate. The process of max
ing new is so accelerated by purging
with Brandreth's Pills that new man
as it were, may be made in two or three
months, and the changein the mechanism
is such that the wornout part is replaced
by the new without the usual running
down of the entire machine. You don't
have to stop for repairs. Purge away
with Brandreth's Pills the old, diseased
and wornout body.
Brandreth's Pills are purely vegetable,
absolutely harmless, and safe to take at
any time.
Sold in every drug or medicine store,
either plain or sugar coated.
