 At the railroad the troubles from washouts continue, and the number of belated passengers is constantly in- creasing. This morning the train from the east arrived with a large number of passengers aboard. The trains return east each day on sched- ule time, and but few travellers west bound return and continue their jour ney via Albuquerque and the A. and F., the most remaining, awaiting the re opening of the road. At the Rillito bridge there is but one pile driver, and it was put to work to-day. the work of getting piles for driving taking yester. days time. When the road is to be opened though of course is the ques- tion of importance. Superintendent Noble yesterday sent word to Fl Pase that in his opinion it would again be open in five days. Railroad men ex- press the opinion, however, that it can not be done in that time.
 The Phenix and Maricopa railroad, so railroad men report, will not be opened for weeks yet. They state that there is no pile driver belonging to the railroad company and nothing can be done in repairing bridges until the Southern Pacific has finished using it's own driver.

Dr. Gray has closed several con tracts for spaying cattle in Sonora. At the present time he has about half finished with Higgins herd, which ranges about fifty-fve miles from here. The inferior COWS of the Sonora herds will be thrown on the market as soon as in condition and give place to a bet ter grade of animals. This seems to be the craze there at the present time and is a wise move on the part of our neighbors. Dr. Gray will return to Sonora to morrow.

Como, Miss. July 10 1891.
70 Editor Con,r,ercaal- HeruH:-In a
recent issue you say lit is charged that
the lacy chosen as Mistress OF Latin
only studied the language two years.
She is a niece, we believe, of one of the
trustees and receives q salery of $1,000
a year. It is charged that the grossest
favoritism has been practiced in other
respects. The idea Of anyone teaching
Latin after only two years study is sim
ply ridiculous. It would take almost
double that time to prepare a student
to understand the difficult language suf-
ticiently to enter any college of stand
ing to say nothing OF teaching it as a
profession in our boasted State College. :"
Now lam sure you would not have pub
)ished such'a monstrous accusation with
out authority. Will you please furnish
me the name of the person or paper
that made this charge? Ordinarily
our Board pays no attention to the crit
icisms Of defeated candidates and teach
ers eliminated to make room for better
instructors, but this matter is too per-
sonal and malicious to be passed unno-
ticed. An early reply will be appre-
ciated.
Yours Truly.

Of her orphaned sisters.
The charge referred to is artfully cal
culated not only to injure the reputa-
tion of q highly meritorious woman,
but Is a reflection upon the integrity
and intelligence Of the Board of Trus-
tees.
The statement that Miss Paslay re-
ceived all her knowledge of Latin in a
course of two years is not true, and had
the limit been extended to seven years
the charge would have been equally
false.

As She Is Spoke in India.

Native English in India still furnishes
much amusement to the European trav-
eler. When the governor of Madras
lately made tour one admirer wrote TO
excuse his non-appearance at the rail-
way station as he chad the pleasure of a
scorpion in his left leg" but promised to
bring my invaluable lutte to play be-
fore your excellency as an indulgent
son." A railway official lamented that
a panther invaded his platform, but he
''met the attack by shutting himself in
his Office and ringing the station bell, ="
while another complained that his
poiutsmen had been fighting, as the ag-
gressor threw a stone at Ram Buksh,
which fortunately hit Ram Buksh's
wife" He added that unless both these
men are scattered in different directions
by opposing trains there will be murder
and suicide, including TO myself" On
visiting local hospital the governor
was presented with a petition against

compliments. 'ihad string loose over
his subordinates, and will never secure
heaven. Quite the contrary Will surely
be his fate. London Graphic.

Early RailroadinS.

When railroads were first introduced,
the engineers, as we call them-or the
engine drivers, as they are callas in Eng
land-ran their trains almost as they
liked, making up time when they had
fallen behind, picking up such informa-
ton as they could as to the state of the
track ahead of them, and for the most
part plunging ahead with their ma
chimes without much more than a sur
mise whether they should bring up at
their destination or at the bottom of
some high embankment.
Some of the results Of this want of
system would have been amusing if they
had not been disastrous. Mr.. Laurence
OEphant, an English traveller and author,
tells in one of his books a rather grim
story of trip which he made by rail, in
1855, from Chicago to New York. Over
part of the distance the train made the
extraordinary speed, for that time, of
fifty miles an hour, and presently it ran
off the track.
Fortunately, the cars were imbedded
in a soft clay ditch, and no one was
seriously hurt; and in the midst of the
connection, Mr.. Ohphant says he heard
the engineer thus admonish the switch.
man, whose carelessness had caused the
accident:
"Now. Tom, this is the third time
you've forgot TO set that switch, and the
last time there was twenty people went
under and the rest was bruised. Sc
mind what you're about, and don't for
get that switch again, for if you do I'll
tell the BOSS"

ever popular farce comedy OF the Two

Our theatre-goers will retain pleasant
remembrance of their last visit. The
troubles of Peter and Philip, the 1.-TWO
Johns" show some of the funniest bits Of
acting ever seen. The resemblance of each
to the other and the entanglements and
ludicrous situations that follow are of the
most comical character.
The old favorites are retained in the
caste and several new faces and specialists
have been added. There are many pretty
girls who will sing bright songs and do
merry dances. The play has been on the
road eight years, which speaks volumes
for it's merits, and has never been given
by a better company than the one assem-
bled for the present season.
