ARRIVED LAST NIGHT.
Dead Bodies of Marion Hess and
Bruce Sornsbury Here.

Bruce Sornsbury Here.
The first train from the east
over the Southern Pacific since
the wreck at Walker arrived in
San Antonio last night at 1880
o'clock, although it was at first
expected that the train would be
here at o'clock last evening.
On board were the dead bodies of
Conductor Marion Hess and Brake
man Bruce Sornsbury and they
were taken to the undertaking es-
tablishment Of Sheern d Burnett
to be prepared for burial. The in
jured men-Engineer Con OCon-
nor and Fireman Carl Hunsaker-
were also on the train and were
taken to the Santa Rosa hospital.
1t is also learned that five car
loads of cattle were injured and Of
these a number were killed.
There was a heavy fog at the
time of the wreck or the collision
could have been averted.

A GREAT BARGAIN IN PASTURE
LANDS.
e25.oOo Acres in One Body.

This tract, comprising 2l3 square leagues,
or $4,000 acres, is situated in the southern
part of Coahuila, Mexico, about 80 miles
northwest of Saltillo, and IS miles northeast
of ParraS, bordering on the famous "Laguno
country" Itcontains l4i5 square miles, or an
acre equal to two average counties in the
United states.
The Mexican international railroad runs
around two sides of the tract east and south,
for distance of - miles, and at no point In
that distance is it more than II miles. Six
stations on the |. M. X. X. are less than IL
miles from the lani. These are Trevinio,
Sanceda, Pastora, laval, PIedra Biunca and
Paia, respectively, IL, 80, |, 81 and II miles
and one located on the land, viz: Pieda Blum
ca. BY rail the land is about 40 hours ride
from the City of Mexico, and 10 each from
Eagle Pass and Monterey. At Trevinio, near
the northeast corner of the land, the Monte
rey and Cult intersects with the Information
al, thus giving communication with Monterey
and Tam 1ico.
The northern and southern parts are eX-
tenslve grassy plains admirably adopted to
cultivation, while the intermediate belt con-
sists of low undertaking hills, covered with
fine pasture grapes, maguey, sotal, lechuglla
and some nOpal. The maguey is valuable for
its FIBRE and the liquor known as mescal, is
distilled from it's root. SOtal and lechugilla
are valuable fibre plants. The extreme west
ern part 90 leagues or mOrel is covered with
magueys, as fine as can be found in Mexico
1t is estimated that their products, mescal and
ibre if manufactured, would doubly pay the
price of the land.
The plains, north and south, have deep
alluvial soil, and the hills a vegetable loan,
from to feet deep, underlaid by solid lime
stone. The soil is rich in all the elements OF
fertility, needing only irrigation or regular
seasons to make them immensely productive.
The soil is finely adapted to corn, cotton,
wheat, barley, hemp and ali the tibrOus plants.
Fuel abundant over the whole tract, and tim
Der for building purposes covers the hills.
Several fertile valleys scattered through the
hills of considerable area and well adapted to
farming.
Water to be had in wells at 60 to 70 feet and
an abundance for stock can be had by
dams and tongues, The formation geologic
ally very favorable to artesan wells.
Latitude between p : 30 min. and 26 : 30 min.
Climate mild and uniform, average altitude
1000 feet.
This property is finely adapted to stock rails
ing. Convenient by rail to Monterey, Saltillo,
Tampico. Parras, Durango, Zacatecas ana the
City of Mexico. The latter is one of the best
of cattle markets.
The rapid advance of mining in Mexico,
agriculture, and stock raising, dur ing the past
few years, offers to men of capital and enter
prise rare opportunities for investment.

She Was No Beauty.

From the Detroit Tribune.
Into the ear Of the horse being
driven by a young woman whis-
pered the Voice of the Tempter.
"Why," asked the Voice, "don't
you run away with her."
The horse looked at the Voice
in great surprise.
"Just gaze at her face" he ex-
claimed. "Nobody but a blind
man would run away with her."
Saying which the horse fell
naturally into a ffty-five minute
clip and was soon lost to sight.

PRESERVING ART IN ITALY

Prince Soisrra Fined and Imprisoned for
Selling Valuable Works.
The tribunal which has sentenced
Prince Sciarra of Italy, so heavily for
selling his pictures-or rather the pic
lures of the Sciarra gallery-has
doubtless done so smarting under the
recollection of the loss of the Caesar
Borgia picture from the Borghese gal
lery last year. Under the Italian laws
for the preservation of works of art''
and for the inalienation of ancient
works of art" none of these can leave
the country without special permits
sion. Last year the Caesar Borgia dis
appeared, gossip says, under vatican
auspices and for well-known and
wealthy collector. This year the loss
has been discovered of Ra ohael's 'sVio-
lin Player and the s'Modesty and Van
ity" Leonardo da Vinci-both from
the Sciarra gallery. Prince Sciarra
was convicted of having sold during
the last two years twenty-one pictures
and statue, of the total value of
100000 francs. He was sentenced to
three months imprisonment, to fine
of 5000 francs to repay the 1896, 1000
francs-value of the objects sold-and
expenses. The pictures are supposed
to have been paced in a lady's trunk
with q double bottom and thus to have
safely passed the keen-eyed officials of
the custom house. It is whispered in
Rome that "The Violin Player is in
possession of one of the Rothschilds.

A Wonderful Yield of Potatoes.

An official report of an agricultural
experiment carried out by French
scientist during the crop season of
1892 is interesting. This was his mode
of operation: He stepped his s'seed"
cuttings for twenty-four hours in q
solution OF six pounds of saltpeter, six
pounds of sulphate of ammonia and
twenty-five gallons of water. He then
allowed them to drain whole day,
in order that the eye-buds might swell
before planting. From potatoes
treated in this manner and planted in
the usual way he obtained yield Of
forty-two tons of potatoes to the acre.
