HENRY DEMMING's PERIL.

On Trial Accused of Burglarizing a Store
ON Grand Avenue.
Henry Demming was on trial in Judge
Smiths court yesterday upon q charge
of burglary, and the trial was not con-
cluded.
Demming is accused of knocking a
hole in the window of B. f. Wallace &
Sons' store, on Grand avenue, and
stealing gold watch.
The watch was afterward found in a
pawnshop, and when Demming was ar
rested the pawn ticket Tor it was found
in his pocket.
The case is circumstantial in the evil
dence against Demming and his counsel
is trying to establish the fact that he is
not closely enough connected with the
crime to justify his conviction.
Some arguments were made yesterday
afternoon, but they were not finished,
and the trial will be resumed this
morning.

A GREAT WORK.
Splendid Energy Displayed in Con-
structing the New Reservoirs
The Electric Power
Plant.

Santa Fe's people scarcely realize what
the Water Il improvement company is
doing, SO quietly is its work being car
ried on. The stone foundation for its
electric power house was finished Gu
Saturday evening. 1t is on the edge of
the new reservoir near the Martinez mill.
The laying of brick will begin tomorrow.
Dienee Bros. have the contract for the
masonry and Mr.. f. P. Crichton is do
ing the carpenter work. The size of the
building is 38x34 feet, one story and
half high. Cerrillos cut stone will be
used for trimming it. On knoll l,50o
feet distant and $50 feet higher than the
power house the company is construct
ing a reservoir ten feet deep, 250 feet
wide and some $50 feet in length. Water
from the great reservoir at the mouth of
the cauon is forced into this pool through
a fifteen inch main and thence it will flow
down through the power house to pro
duce electricity for light and power pur-
poses, and the beauty about it Is that no
water is wasted, for from the lower reser-
voir it falls back, after settling, into the
water mains and comes down to serve the
city for domestic and irrigation purposes.
This work is moving on nicely. 1t will
pay any citizen of Santa Fe to go and in
spect it.

HE WOULDN'T TALK.
A Reporters Struggles to Get Into
Communication with the Visiting
Divine from Denver.

A New MEXICAN reporter made vlgor-
Gus effort all this morning to interview
Bishop Matz, who is here on visit to
Archbishop Chapelle. After number OF
calls at the residence of Vicar General
Fourchegu, where he is stopping during
his stay in the city, the bishop was finally
cornered this morning in the Kitchen OF
his genial host, and was interrupted just
az he was in the act of imbibing glass
of warm water, so universally recon-
mepded by we'll informed physicians as
remedy for indigestion.
On receiving the information that the
NEW MEXICAN desired to see the blshop
that gentleman replied with the question:
"Are you a reporter?" Camden com PEELED
the humiliating confession that the bishop
had guessed the truth, whereupon that
church dignitary said that the bishop
wasn't around, accessible, or even visible
to the naked eye. The reporter sug-
gested that having his mental microscope
along he strongly suspected that he saw
the much-sought bishop in the immediate
neighborhood and in fact felt conhdent
that he was then addressing him. Bishop
Matz then capitulated and stated that ne
did not desire to talk for publication; that
on hearing of Archbishop Chapele's H.
ness he came to Santa Fe on a friendly
visit such as one brother would pay an
other, and that he had found the bishop
80 i'll that business had not been thought
Of. .,
"How long will you be with US, biShoP!"
was asked.
SWELL" he added, "that's matter l
haven't decided upon"
Finding that the distinguished Denver
churchman was equally non-commlttal
on other subjects, the reporter withdrew
after wishing him happy stay in the
city of the Holy Faith and complete tu-
ture immunity from journalistic lnqulsi-
tiveness.

PEN IMPROVEMENTS.
What the Popular Superintendent is
Doing to Keep the Inmates
Busy.

Superintendent Bergman has recently
been making number of improvements
at the penitentiary with the result that
that institution is becoming more and
more nearly perfect in its equipment for
the purposes intended. His men are at
present engaged in plastering the large
cell room in the building. When this
work is completed this apartment, In
which the prisoners live, will be very much
warmer than heretofore and will at the
same time be much neater and cleaner
than in the past, as the plasterlng Will
prevent the filtration of dust through the
stone walls. Superintendent Bergman
has also lately planted large number OF
fruit trees in the front inclosure of the
penitentiary property, the varieties IN
GLIDING cherry, apple, peach and the vari-
Gus other kinds of fruit so successfully
grown in this section. a representative
of the New MEXICAN yesterday went over
the portion of the building set apart for
chapel purposes. This spacious room has
been recently fitted up with handsome
altar built entirely by the men at the
penitentiary; and a very fine reading desk
a product of the same skill, occupies a
position in front of the altar. The walls
of this apartment have also been hand
somely plastered and the galleries en-
closed with very pretty railing, so that on
the whole the chapel is as well equipped
for church services as any religious edlhce
!, 4o,n r,tholic and Protestant SerV-
ices are held each Sunday in the chapel
and are largely attended. Col. Bergman
deserves the thanks Of the people OF the
territory for the energy and ability with
which he has effected the admirable con-
dition of this great territorial institution.

A DISTINGUISHED Artist.

Prof. U. T. Curran is in receipt OF
number of newspapers which contain
highly complimentary notices of the work
of his son, Mr.. Charles @. Curran, the
artist. Mr.. Curran, the younger, is one
of the youngest artists of prominence in
the country and just recently his Worlds
fair views, on exhibition at the Chicago
Art Institutes annual display, have won
for him lpnumerable eulogistic comments
One of the papers speaks of him as the
swimmer of all the desirable prizes OBJ
tainaple in this country,"a and the Chicago
Inter Ocean, in mentioning his work, says
that the nineteen pictures which he e1-
hibits are $50 carefully painted that they
| seem not like single gems but like one
glowing mass Of ieweled splendor." Prof.
Curran is naturally very proud OF his
sons achievements and there is ample
reason to believe that the future holds
still further distinctions for his talented
| son.
