Won Moltke Dead

A dispatch from Berlin says: Field
Marshall Count Won Moltke is dead. He
attended the session of the Reichstag
held yesterday afternoon. His death
was very sudden, and the physicians an
nounced that it was caused by failure of
the heart. He died at 945 last night,
passing away quietly and painlessly
The news of the counts unexpected
death has caused great sorrow in the
city. Count Helmuth Carl Bernhardt
Won Moltke, Field Marshall of the Ger
at Parchim, Mecklenburg, and was the
third of seven sons of Lieutenant>Gen-
eral Won Moltke. At the age of eighteen
he became an officer, and in 1929 entered
the Prussian service as lieutenant. Con-
tinuing his military studies, Won Moltke
remained some years in Turkey and &C.
companied the Turkish army in it's cam
paign against Mehemet Ali In 1915 he
was appointed adjutant to Prince Hen
ry of Prussia, who then resided at Rome.
After the death of the Prince, in 1847,
Won Moltke was attached to the general
command on the Rhine becoming, in
1849, chief of staff of the fourth army
corps. In 1868 he became chief of staff
OF the whole army, and in 1859 had the
rank of lieutenant general In 1854,
when Prince Frederick Charles took the
field against Denmark, General Won
Moltke had already drawn up the plan
Of the whole campaign, which was car
ried out almost to a letter. Still more
brilliant were his services in the war
with Austria in 1866. Here, accompany
ing the King, he not only enabled him
to gain the overwhelming victory of
Sadowa, in which he led the main army
but followed it up with bold advance
toward Olmutz and Vienna, which
brought the seven weeks war to an
end. The King acknowledged his merit
with the Order of the Black Eagle and
the Prussian Parliament voted him a
donation. Won Moltke at once prepared
plan for French war, which he saw
must soon follow. Notifications, of
course, were made in the plan before the
war actually came, in 1870, yet the
rapidity and accuracy with which the
army was moved on the predetermined
line of attack was due to the previous
thorough study Of the entire problem.
In recognition of his services General
Won Moltke was created a count on the
day of the capitulation of Metz, October
29th, 1870, and was made chief marshal
of the German Empire on the return of
the army to Berlin, in September, 1871.
Other honOrs were showered upon him
by sovereigns and people. His ability
in all departments of military science is
universally acknowledged. He enjoyed
the unquestioned respect and confidence
eff the German government, to which he
rendered services paralleled only by
those of the great civil ruler, Prince
Bismarck. Count Won Moltke was the
author of number of military works.

E DIR. O. W. Owen, of Detroit, has also
studied Shakespeare with view of un
earthing a cipher; and after years of la
Dor has dragged it forth to the light of

that Shakespeare was a blackmailer and
that Bacon killed him in a quarrel. In
addition to this important information,
DR.. Owens cipher reveals twenty seven
other complete and coherent narratives.

The epidemic has again broken out amongthe Arizona editors. This time 1t commenced with Funston, of the Coconino Sun.

son, were standing near by during the conversation, and they corrob- orated what Mr. Hill stated. They followed the passenger train with extra freight No. 339, and were em- phatic in remUrking that the storm was terrific and the sand blind ing.
 Conductor Oder came down from the north on No. 1, which got in eight hours late, this morning. He states that the storm which the peo- pie of Albuquerque are enjoying to day is not a marker to what prevail, ed in Las Vegas yesterday and last night. It was simply immense there and no one dared to poke their heads out of the doors, unless It was absolutely necessary. It is the worst sand storm he ever tack led since his connection with the SantaFeroad. The engine and coach es ofhis train swayed with a mighty motion at times.
 It is impossible to estimate the amount of damages incurred by the storm, which is, within the memory of the old citizens of Albu- querque, the worst that has ever oc- cured in the valley. The storm of last night recalls the fierce storm that ragged in this city in February 1881, when a fire broke out in Mrs. Monroe's millinery store, adjoining ". L. Trimble $ Co.'S. livery stable, and for time the whole town was threatened. There was no fire com pany then, but the organization@ of a bucket brigade prevented serious c0nllagration. Fortunately no alarm of fire has followed so far the wake of the present storm.-Alb. Citizen Dec. 11th.

Dec. 11tl,

From Chas. Linderman who came up last night from White River, the Prospector learns that on Monday morning last the renegades who shot Daniels and Downing, went through his place, stealing two of his best horses and leaving two Mexican ponies in their place. One of those left behind was a small mare branded s P H. The other was a black horse branded with a Mexican brand. Lieut.. Irwin was on their trail and came through the next morning. He was positive that the trail was made by Apaches but he didn't volunteer any infor- nation regarding the number Ee supposed were in the band. He proceeded on down to the San Ber- nardino ranch where he is supposed to be at the present time, while the Apaches are no doubt we'll up in.the Sierra Madre mountains.-Prospec tor

Proposed Cattle Trail Abandoned.

The Citizen learns from Mir. Brew ster Cameron, who was secretary ol the recent cattlemen's convention al Deming, New Mexico, that the con vention took no steps towards es- tablishing trail from Arizona via Deming to the north, over which to drive steers sold next spring to Kan sas and Montana feeders.
 MT. Cameron states that the re- presentatives of the Santa Fo rail- road received the application of the cattlenen's convention for reduced rates in most friendly spirit, and generously of fered to provide a rate, to take ef- feet January 1, 1892, which would enable stock growers to ship all cat tie that might not be safely carried until next summers rains come. The Southern Pacific company, through it's representatives, also promised to pro rate with the Santa Fe on all cattle shipments from Arizona, which will be gratifying news to the ranchmen of southeast ern Arizona.

The Storm in New Mexico.

One of the worst sand storms that has ever visited the Rio Grand 2 valley and this city, commenced here yesterday afternoon about 6 o'clock and has continued ali night and to-day, increasing with intensi- ty at times, and the damage it has wrought throughout the city will probably reach up into thousands of dollars,
 Outhouses are scattered in all di- rections; window panes are broken in many houses and sashes are torn from their fastenings and lying here and there, many hundred feet from where they belong. Corners of brick houses are loosened and bricks are found scattered along the sidewalks. Wherever the storm could get broad-side sweep from the east, for it is a regular eastern blizzard of the west kind, the havoc is terrible.
 One of the plate glasses, fortu- nately not one of the largest, on the east side of the new Commercial club building, was blown into the building and broken into the very smallest of pieces. The plate glass in tine dry goods store of E. Schus- ter and Leon B. Stern, on Railroad avenue, fell out on the pavement with a crash.
 The stores on First street, where the storm is not interrupted, are great sufferers. Three large panes of glass at Farr's meat market fell into the building, scattering broken glass everywhere. At Grunsfeld's retail dry goods store and in the building occupied by Mandell Bros. < Co.,, several panes of glass are broken. Other stores have suffer- ed.
 The damage on the Highlands is reported great, but the storm is so fierce that the reporter, who spent three hours in hunting up those who suffered, is able to give only few of the losers A big glass was blown in at the college building, while window blind and window casing were blown off the ward school in precinct 26.
 No damage is reported at the Crystal Ice company or at the Southwestern brewery, but the frame of CIV. Kunz'S big ice and beer storage house, which was al-  most ready to be occupied and ad joining the brewery, was blown down and scattered over a block of ground. At Mausard's four mills in the came vicinity the smoke stack was blown across the switch track of the Santa Fe road, break the telegraph wire in falling. The roof of the engine house is also damaged. Mr. Mausard telegraph ed immediately to Leavenworth, Ks, fora new smoke stack {; the damages will be repaired and the mills run ming by tomorrow,
 Engineer Lon Hill, one of the oldest engineers on the Santa Fe road south of the city, states that the storm of last night was the worst he has ever experienced here in New Mexico. He pulled out of San Marcial on time, reached So-| zorro few minutes late, but pulled into Albuquerque about four hours late. He dared not run fast for fear that the storm would blow engine and ali off the track. 1t was the worst night" continued Mr. Hill, "that I have ever put in on the Santa Fe road, and the storm did not abate for minute" Freight Conductor IIennessy, with his brakcmen, Mcdonald and DaYid-
