West Shore road "a few weeks ago, "
said gentleman at Chamberlin's to a
Washington Post man. lin which six
teen people were killed and about
thirty injured. The horrors of the
CHASTITY occurrence will never fade
from my memory. Yet, amid all the
scenes OF anguish-the distorted faces
of the dead and the groans Of the
wounded-an incident came under my
notice that made me laugh in spite Of
the grewsome surroundings.
Il was working for dear life to ex-
tricate from the wreck young fellow
who belonged TO the orchestra OF a
travelling show. He was pinioned by
heavy timbers, and when taken out
was writing in agony, as most any
man would be whose leg was fractured
in three places. His body was con-
tracted by successive cramps, but he
did not murmur. l thought his hours
on earth were few.
''He motloned me to bend near him,
which / did, thinking he had some
last message he wanted conveyed TO
his wife or sweetheart. The flames
from the ears, that had taken fire
shortly after the accident shed a sick
ly light over the poor fellows pallid

and my heart went out to him.

IleCtriclIY.

1t seems likely that electricity is to
be called in TO explain many OF the
celestial phenomena which have hither-
to been ascribed to other agencies
That wonderful yet beautifully simple
instrument the spectroscope, which
has revealed to US so much Of the
cosmos, still seems to be baflied in
some directions where difficulty would
scarcely be anticipated. Strangely
enough, the phenomena which it fails
to satisfactorily explain are either such
as are known to be electrical in char
acter or are at least strongly suspected
OF so being. From this and other
facts, Stas has been led to suspect that
the ordinary interpretations OF the
spectroscope are not to be relied on
when it is applied to electrical phe-
nOmela.

Sheridan and His SLIPPERS.

Two good stories of General Sheridan
were told me the other day by Il Mex

the great northern soldier in his life

mander OF the army of the union as
his Office in Washington, he found tho
hero OF Winchester at his desk, his
feet encased in slippers and bis
shoes economically placed on
the top of the desk. While

In some writing the Mexican

That MAN FOSTER

The remarkable storms that have pre-
vailed throughout the central west-par-
tlcularly between the Mississippi valley
and the Rocky mountaiDs--during the
past ten days, again serve to draw atten-
ton to the success which has attended
the prophesies of the Iowa weather
wizard, Mr.. Foster. This man has
gained great popularity of late by the
frank, clear and simple manner in
which he proceeds to tell the people,
weeks before hand, just what sort of
weather they may look out for. OF late
years many persons have sought to
distinguish themselves IN this line of
science, but none of them have had the
staying qualities OF Foster, and were more
or less Of the crank order. But Foster is
head and shoulders above them all 80 far,
and is apparently most earnestly engaged
in solving problems and advancing new
scientific theories which very great
number of people are following with the
deepest interest, and in which attention
hes been aroused by the remarkable &C
curacy of his prophesies based upon
meteorological OBJ servations entirely diff
ferent from the beaten paths heretofore
laid down by the renowned men OF the
world

We have too much confidence in the
intelligence OF the people of Santa Fe
generally to believe that this opposition,
based upon such foundation and the
motive power of which is Doodle, vicious
political methods and the arousing of
prejudices, can succeed in the end. As
near as we can make out the voters, as a
rule, are tired of such methods and will
make haste to repudiate them at the city
polls on Thursday next.
And what is the real significance OF this
opposition as indicated in the spirit that
ruled the so-called city nominating con-
vention on Saturday night? 1t will be
well for the tax payers of Santa Fe, those
whose earnest desire it is to see the city
prosper and grow and build up gradually
and wisely her new municipal structure,
to seriously consider this question.
Is it not really another bold attempt at
"a vindication" OF certain parties whose
names have been all too closely ldentlneu
with Santa Fe county's deplorable condi-
ton during the past few years? Is it not
a final struggle to inveigle the voters into
a tacit Endorsement of those notorious
county bond funding schemes and the
action of county officials in defying the
law? 1t looks very much like it. The
people will not be caught by this sort OF
chan. The buodlers and law-breakers
must seek their "vndication" in some
other manner. They must not be allowed
to introduce their nefarious schemes here
and at this time; we must have a change
that change which the voters so unani-
nously called for when they voted on the
original proposition to give Santa Fe a
different form of government.
