city have received the contract to
furnish all the material and con-
struct a street railroad in the city
of Linares, and for the material
and extension of the street railroad
at Victoria, state of Tamaulipas,
and for pipes for system of water
works for the city of Parras, state
Of Coahuila.
Last Saturday evening af-
ter the regular freight train
Of the Monterey and Mexican Gulf
railway, J. A. Hudson, conductor,
pulled out from Garcia, it ran over
Walter Hamilton, bridge carpen-
ter, who was laying on the track.
AS soon as the engineer saw him
he called for brakes, but the train
passed over him before it came to a
stop. AS soon as it did it backed up,
and as there were some officers of
Garcia and Monterey aboard, they
examined the body and found that
it was cold. The general opinion
is that he was killed and robbed
by unknown parties and then laid
on the track to hide their diaboli-
cal deed.
Mr.. Hamilton had been for nine
years working with the Mexican
National railway, and for three
years with the Gulf road Last week
he went to Garcia to assist in the
carpenter work of the new brick
yard that is being established
there. The railroad men took
charge of the body and buried it
Sunday afternoon.
Mr.. Hamilton was son of Cap
tain Ben Hamilton, contractor and
builder, of Galveston.
A party of Americans rented an
office in this city and fitted it up
and had the front part covered
with "The Monterey Daily Lottery
Co.," and had the tickets engraved
and printed in New York City,
and were ready to open up last
week, but when Governor Bernar-
do Reyes heard of it he sent them
word that they had better not. He
gave them to understand that
he would not permit any
one to carry on swindling
business in the state of Nuevo
Leon if he could prevent it. They
closed up and had the sign scraped
off.

Last June Dick Crawford |
brought his twelve-months-old
child, suffering from infantile
diarrhwa, to me. 1t had been
weaned at four months old and
had always been sickly. | gave it
the usual treatment in such cases
but without benefit. The child |
kept growing thinner until it
but little more than when
born, or perhaps ten pounds. ! |
then started the father to giving
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and |
DiarrhHa Remedy. Before one
bottle of the 25-Cent size had been |
used a marked improvement was
seen and it's continued use cured |
the child. Its weakness and puny |
disappeared and it's
father and myself believe the |
child's life was saved by this Rem
