PREHISTORIC CITIES.
Ruins of Five Aztec Towns Discovered
i'm New Mexico.

EDDY. N. ", Dec. @.-Yesterday Will
Mcmillan. of st. Louis. and Il. b. Bron-
son, of FL Paso, authorities on prehis-
toric Indian ruins, discovered. twenty to
forty miles below Eddy, the crumbled re-
mains of five different Aztec towns that
formerly contained, according to usual esti-
mates. $1,000 to 10000 people. Excavations
are soon to be made. A canyon near by,
filled with sand, formerly furnished living
had previously been discovered. Broken
pottery, arrow heads and stone axes prove
the identity of race to be the same as
that which left peculiarly built towns in
northern Mexico, New Mexico and Arizona.
They were a people who built towns in
the hills Tor defense and farmed the river
lands. Their discovery here shows that
agriculture was carried on by irrigation by
the prehistoric dwellers and a dense popu-
lation supported.

IN TROUBLE AGAIN.-Henry Arnold,
colored, after an interval of about two
weeks, was again in the police court
this morning, unkempt, with the right
side of his face SWOLLEN like bladder,
an abrasion on the left side of the nose
and q two-inch-square scratch on the
left cheek in the shape of the letter Il.
About six o'clock yesterday evening
the fumes of whisky began to work on
Arnold, and, as is usual on such occa-
sions, his wife became the target for his
fists and abuse. According to her
statement, he struck and otherwise i'll
treated the weaker vessel, and finally
elected her from the house and threw
her clothes in the street. About two
hundred people gathered at the inter
section of ST. Asaph and Gibhon streets
where the parties live, and the oaths
and indecent language that the defend
ant emitted were heard for some dis
lance. Officer TIGER repaired to the
scene and arrested Arnold, who insist
ed that his better-half be brought along
too. This morning they both told re-
markable stories which tended to show
that marriage with them had proven a
decided failure. The wife said she had
struck her husband across the face
with stick after he had assaulted her.
Mayor Strauss fined Arnold s. and dis
charged his wife.

THE NULeANIaIEG WORKS are being
rapidly prepared for operations. Three
of the large tanks TO be used in the val
canizing of wood have arrived and
workmen are placing them in position.
Ponderous engines and other machin-
cry are on the ground and will soon
be in running order. Workmen are
engaged in erecting the smokestack
and others in the preparation of foun-
dations for the machinery and other
apparatus necessary for the work con-
templated. About 100000 will have
been spent on this properly by the time
it is metamorphosed into IL shape suit
able for the purposes of the company.
1t is claimed the works will be able to
handle 100000 feet of lumber per day.
The tanks will develop temperature
of 800 degrees of neat, with o pressure
of about as many pounds. Timber for
weight hours old can then in few
hours be made as hard and become as
thoroughly seasoned as that cut years
previously. BY the process TO be en-
ployed the resin of the timber will be
disseminated through the wood and
vulcanized, which renders it endurablc,
thereby making it suitable for work
which will need no renewal from the
ravages of decay, at least. The Pioneer
Mills on the north of the works have
been pointed up and glazed and made
much more presentable than they have
been for years.

SENT TO THE WoRKHoUsE.-1t will
be seen by the police report that one of
the lazaroni of Alexandria in the shape
of a thieying black boy has been sent
TO the workhouse for stealing coal from
a car at the W. & @. depot. As is in
variahly the case with such, when Ques-
toned this morning by Mayor Strauss,
he said he had no father, but mother.
1t is stated that when these street gam
in fail to find coal on the ground they
don't hesitate to board cars and
steal it, and that often they break the
seal of cars to get at the contents.
Squads of these hoodlums invade every
section of the city daily, refusing to
york and preying on whatever they can
find, steal or beg. 1t would be we'll to
enforce the vagrant law Or all such and

which had been stolen from cars, wharves

NEGLECTED CHILDREN.-This morn

by small black boy whose jaw was
swollen and who was crying. He ap-
peared to be in much pain and in reply

She may forfeit the pension.

THE RIVER FRoNT.-Afairs on the
river front to-day were decidedly quiet.
A gentle rain fell during part Of the
morning. 4 few vessels drifted lazily
up the stream and about as many moro
were making slow progress in attempt
ing to beat down. A majority of the
craft now seen are going to or returning
from the fishing shores. The Norfolk
steamer was about two hours late this
morning, caused by delay in following
the feet of men-of-war from Hampton
Roads to the capes yesterday. Many
Alexandrians were among the excursion
party she had aboard.

ance this morning. Three or four YES

country wagons were on hand, the

country wagon trade here during the
fishing season in by-gone days was an
ticipated with bright expectations, but
now, like many others, it is thing of
the past.

GAVE THEM THE SLIP AGAIN.-Nat
Jackson, the negro chicken thief, gave
Captain Wood, of the chain gang, the
slip again this morning, carrying his
ball and chain with him. Nat had
been at work on Gibbon street, between
st. Asaph and Washington and being
allowed to go with another of the gang
into an alley forgot to emerge and was
later found to be among the missing.
Serving on the chain seems to be a sort
of hide-and-whoop game for many SEN
fenced to it, and it is thought the gang
would be just as safe without the pre-
tended surveillance of an overseer.
