Mr.. EDIToR:-I see in your paper of
the 18th inst. Send me the facts. ETC., in
regard to the election November 8th,
1892" will send you few facts in re-
gard to the same in Nutbush town
ship, Warren county, N. Q. There the
registrar and judges of election chal
lenged and excluded 139 voters from
the ballot boxes who were not allowed
to vote at all. These were mostly Re
publican and Peoples party. Many
others hearing of this ruling would not
even go to the election. There has
never been any ything like this done here
before. Most of the Democrats were
registered right, while the other two.
parties were registered incorrectly, as
claimed by the registrar and sustained
by the judges of the election. I am
now eighty years old, and have had
charge of the election, acting as regis
trar for many years, and am now ex-
cluded from the ballot for improper
registration by the registrar and judges.
I thought it was the dutyQf the regis
trar to his work corr ect4y, but find
that those whom he wanted to vote
were registered right, while others
were registered improperly. On the
whole 1 should say that there was
great injustice done to the voters Of
this township at that election.
Yours respectfully,
THOMAS P. PAsCHALL.

lars that may be true. But it equally
true that horses should have better
treatment than many get. Bad treat
ment makes a good horse, vicious.
Don't overload them or drive too fast.
Feed and groom them well all the year.

his horse.'

HARD TO DOWN GOOD MEN.

Yesterdays special news dispatches to
the NEW MEXICAN showed that the dam
six miles above Eddy had partially gone
out in a cloud burst after ten days rain.
This, of course, was grave misfortune.
The NEW MEXICAN recently presented the
advantages of the Pecos valley in which
it had cause to say many good words for
Messrs. G. B. Eddy and J.J. Hagerman. 1t
now takes pleasure in calling attention
to the conduct of these men in this in
stance. Mr.. Eddy wired Mr.. Hagerman
in New York of tho occurrence, and that
gentleman Immediately replied that the
people should be assured that the dam
would be repaired as fast as money and
men could effect it. This shows the alb
solute good faith and pluck of these men.
What they promise will be fulfilled if work
and money can avail.
Another feature is worthy of note. The
dam that went out is part of system OF
three immense reservoirs. The two upper
and larger ones are not completed SO as
to nold water yet. Had they been in
place no flood or cloud burst that ever
smote the valley could move the lower
structure. This was one of those ex-
traordinary stresses of weather that some
times destroy big buildings In course OF
erection. The fact that no one lost life
or limb in the disaster, and that not
house in the town of Eddy below the dam
was injured show how carefully the en-
gjneers had guarded every contingency
The dam will be rebuilt at once and the
company will have better luck as the
dam at Seven Rivers, backing up 6,O00,-
100000 cubic feet or 45,00O,000,000 gallons
of water, will then be water tight also.
The Pecos valley is great country and
Messrs. Hagerman and Eddy are not
knocked out by little things.

RoMANcs AND FACT IN THE WOOL BUSINESS.

The Providence Journal and the Boston
Herald talk very learnedly about wool
and insist that free trade in wool will
benefit this country; that may be SO
theoretically, but facts are stubborn
things, and one of them is that to-day the
New Mexico wool grower receives only
cents per pound for the same wool that
brought him II cents pound last year.
This year there is grave and immediate
danger of the repeal of the duty on for
eign woods; last year there was none.
The fine spun theories of those eastern
papers may be all right in romance and
theory, but they do not work at all in

The reservoir water storage system is
all right. What New Mexico needs is
more reservoirs. Enough water has gone
to waste in this territory during the last
thirty days to irrigate every foot of cul-

Dispatch Received by a New Haven Gentleman-Tbe Ward EIopement Gnn

Dispatch Received by New Haven
 Gentleman-Tbe Ward EIopement
 Canard.
 The wild press story from Chicago yes terday, reporting that Miss Katharine Ward, daughter ot the late Izrael Ward of West Haven, who was the hig hly esteemed cashier of the Second National bank of this city, had eloped with a young bank cashier named James Lewis, "caahier of West Haven bank, ," and filled out blank check signed in her favor for SIC, ,00O, be- fore eloping, was stamped as an exceeding ly doubtful yarn yesterday, but dispatch received yesterday by Mr. Joseph Porter, of the firm of Spsrry & Barnes, this city, is fully authoritative. Mr. Porter's daugh- ter, Miss Alice, received letter from New York from Miss Ward yesterday. Miss Porter and Miss Ward are old schoo lmates and were roommates while attending pri- vate school fer young ladies at Springfield, Mass, not long ago. The two young ladies are warm friends and the letter Miss Por- ter received was written before Miss Ward had any knowledge of the wonderful Chicago story, she being evidently from the letter's contents, wholly oblivi- ous of the wonderful elopement she was charged with. To set all inqui- ries at rest MT. Porter telsgraphed to Miss Wards uncle, Dr. Lewis Smith, an cleo trioal physician of New York city, in whose family Miss Ward is residing, and received reply from Dr. Smith that the whole story was an utterly baseless fabri- cation. The doctor had read with amaHe- ment the sensational yarn before the dis patch came from MT. Porter
 Mics Ward was visiting friends in this city about the time of her alleged dissp. pearance. Her brother is cadet, not at West Point, as some reports hava had 1t. but at the Annapolis naval academy.
 Miss Heitman of West Haven, cousin of Miss Ward, wishes the elopement story denied as utterly without foundation.

The emergency committee who are en- deavoring to devise some means whereby the assessors may have more room in the city hall met in the selectmen's room last evening. but failed to agree as to how the matter should be arranged. The three seleotmen, members of the committee, favor the extension of the present quar- ters of the assessors to the room now occupied by Registrar Carr by taking away the iron stairway, etc, and in this they are backed up by Alderman Callahan of the Eleventh ward. Alderman Connor, however, favors having rooms 10 and II fitted for the assessors, while the three councilmen desire that the extra room shall be n ede by building on an addition over the ST sa way and not disturbing the interior of the hall Another meeting of the committee will he held in reference to the matter next week.
