Some further Facts Respecting the

A., T. & s. F.

In the case Of the parent company the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe, aud the
Frisco, petition was filed BY the receiv-
ers yesterday for authority to annul or
disaffirm the 'contracts with the Atlantic
& Peciac, which have been heavy bur-
den upon the sAtchison and the Frisco,
and have been quite factor in the
insolvency Of those companies. Tho petit
ton cites, among several agreements,
traffic and otherwise, one dated October
s, 1885, by which the Atchison and Frisco
com panies we're obligated to loan to the
Atlantic and hciac sufficient money to
meet ~ any deficiency in its operating
ex penses, (2) the rental of the Mojave
division, and (3( the interest on the guar
! anteed 4 per cent bonds of the Atlantic
and Pacific. The three com panies entered
INTO an agreement with the Mercantile
Trust company under which the Atchison
and Frisco com pnnies guaranteed the pay
ment of the principal and interest of the
per cent bonds. Tho receivers allege
that the Atchison and Frisco companies
have paid hundfetfs of thousands of dol
lars to and fer the Atlantic and Poetic,
which is insolvent, unable to meet its
operating ex penses and thereby became
I insolvent themselves.
In January, 1880, the Frisco was the
owner of a majority of the stock Of the

HERE'S A TIME.
Pointers for the Public--Pretty Pros
pectS for Plaza 'PrOvement--At
the Palace Tonight.

The dance and Christmas sale given by
the Woman's Board of Trade tonight at
the Palace hotel gives promise of being
a very pleasant affair. Through the gem
crosby of Prof. Perez in giving the SER
vices of his orchestra without charge and
the equal generosity of Mr.. Claussen in
giving the large dining room for dancing
and the sample room opposite for the use
of the bazaar, the expenses of the ladies
will be reduced to the minimum OF the
actual cost of the numerous fancy and
useful articles which will be for sale at
reasonable prices. All these articles are
intended for Christmas presents and one
can not do better with his money than to
invest in some of the novelties which
will be for sale by sales-ladies OF great
business ability, if somewhat amateurish
in their art. There will be only one adj
mission fee, 25 cents for each person
who dances, and that will for 80 cents
give the young man and his best or othel
girl four solid hours of the light fantastic
If he desires to refresh himself OF "her,
it will cost reasonable fee and the arti
cles for sale are marked down to "tret
trade" prices. The object is one il
which every citizen of Santa Fe is inter
ested-the final payment for the pl VI
coping which is fully completed,-ant
the ladies of the Board Of Trade hope II
realize from this entertainment enougl
to pay the balance due. 1t is believet
they will succeed and have surplus will
which to start the further improvement
they contemplate on the plaza for tn
coming spring.

FOUNTAINS HAND.
Mr.. Shannon Returns from the South
and Speaks of the Charges
Preferred Against Judge
A. B. Fall.

Hon. c. M. Shannon returned this
morning from Ell Paso and other points
south. Speaking of the fight which is be-
ing made against Judge Fall by the Re
publican politicians whose nefarions
practices he has checked, Mr.. Shannon
says;
81 understood while south that num-
Der of charges have just been forwarded
to Washington by various parties in
Dena Ana. Some of them charge Judge
Fall with having held back indictments
in consideration of vote for the Demo
cratic ticket, and similar foolish attacks
have been made. Those who are &C.
aua1nted with the fact that Dona Ana
county is the vilest political cesspool in
the west will not wonder to learn that
some o: these charges are even supported
by affidavits, for there are scores OF per-
sons down there who would hasten to
make such an affidavit for dollar, OF
even less amount in an emergency.
"Whatever effect these charges might
otherwise have at Washington is obliter'
ated in advance by the knowledge that
they are inspired by Albert J. Fountain
as contemplate and corrupt politician
and demagogue as exists. This mar
Fountains character is we'll known al

have TO do to show the absolute falsity o
the charges ia to suggest to the anthori
ties there that Fountain is connected

comes from fair and impartial source
in Dona Ana county that in the recen

THE LAW AT FAULT.
Oil Inspector Hart Has a Word to Say
as to Frequent Complaint.

To tho Editor Of the New Mexican.
Las Vegas, Dec. 12.-In ysur issue OF
the 10th of December, notice that some
of your citizens, disguised with the quality
of oil pronounced good BY me, purchased
some oil which had been pronounced
worthless, claiming that it was very much
better than the oil that stood the test.
desire to say that it is not part of my
duties to pronounce oils good, and
further if people will only read the law
that governs all Of my official actions
they will see that it only provides for a
"fre test" of $50 degrees and says nothing
about the quality of the oil.
In the next place desire to say that
these complaints are not new to me. The
fact Is, that the same complaint has come
to me from every part Of the territory,
| but the fault is in the law and not In its
administration. lam only permitted to
make "fire tests" and the fire test in this
territory to-day is up to 100 degrees, but
the com plants come from the gravity
test" over which have NO jurisdiction
as that test does not come within the in
spection law as now in force
If citizens will kindly communicate
with me- over their own signatures WI
only b. too glad to investigate the mat
ter complained of, so far as the ''fir'
test" goes. M. 8. HAhT,
