The Victim Is Unknown, Although He il

The Victim Is Unknown, Although He is

Anne, Md.
neutrality-suspicious. OF Gazette ana journal
STAFFORD, Aug. 9.-An unknown boy
about Is years of age was drowned in
the Nanticoke river at this place, yester.
day afternoon. He came hero on o
fishing smack from Princess Anne, Md,
and was in swimming with crowd of
boys. Being very good swimmer he
had gone further out than any others,
when he was seized with cramps and
drowned before help could reach him.
The body was soon recovered.
The crew of the boat knew nothing
of the drowned boy, who sailed with
them from Princess Anne on pleasure
trip, but in his pockets some papers
were found, showing him likely to be
Owen Wileman of Princess Anne.
Drawings of ships, several pencil
sketches, Greek alphabet and many
notes in Greek were also found in tho
clothing, showing that the boy had
great artistic ability and was well edu-
Gated.
Undertaken Towers took charge of
the body after the inquest was held,
which showed that the boy came to his
death in the way here stated. The news
was telegraphed TO Princess Anne last
night to see if the boy formerly resided
there, but up to late hour no reply
had been received.
The body of the unknown boy who
was drowned at Seafori last week has
not yet been claimed Information from
Pocomoke City is to the effect that the
boy is not known there. Owen Wilemun
is believed to be the drowned boys name
by finding 1t on 50 many papers. In his
pocket was found letter addressed
Owen Wilcman, Marlboro, Ohio" 1t
was from girl, evidently the boys
sweetheart. The authorities at Scaford
telcgraphed to Ohio, but receiving no
reply the body was buried Thursday
afternoon in tho NJ. H. Church grave
yard, amid services that were unusually
impressive. The ladies Of the town fur
nished a STROUD for the body and sent
many beautiful floral design and cut
flowers in profusiun. The Rev. H. NJ.
Munson of ST. Luke's Episcopal Church
conducted the service.

TWELVE HOURS SAVED BETWEEN COLORADO
AND NEW YORK CITY.
The Missouri Pacific railway on April
20, 1894, placed in effect new schedule
for it's "Fast Mail' train between Denver,
Colorado Springs and Pueblo, and Kansas
City and st. Louis; leaving Denver at 800
p. M, Colorado Springs at 5:25 p. M,
and Pueblo at 700 p. m, and arriving at
Kansas City at 5:45 p. M, st. Louis at
sos a. M, and Chicago at 500 a. M, with
direct connection over all trunk lines
for New York City, Boston, Philadelphia
and Washington, D. G., and all inter.
mediate points.
This will en- alb passengers from Colo.
RADIO interior points to make direct
connection with the Missouri Pacific "Fast
Mall at Pueblo, by taking D. & R. g..
train No. 4, thereby saving twelve hours
time on the eastbound trip, and enabling
them to avoid a disagreeable lay-over

just such schemes against the tax payer,
and together they control the so-called
Republican party of New Mexico by
furnishing the necessary funds for cam
paign purposes. These men are always
active because they make politics pay.
Morrison is spoken Of but, is only a
tool for Catron, having nothing to recon-
mend him but his mouth, land tin plate
orations are not winners in these days..
Gillie Otero has boom, but, as his prin-
cipal recommendations are his good looks
and dudish dress, he is not likely candi-
date, especially as he lacks the ability.
NJ. A. Otero may be called upon, if he is
prompt in knocking in the head of his
"barrel." j. A. Ancheta would be pos
sible candidate if he could raise the
sugar" and would join the circle at San
ia Fe. Z. s. Slower is perhaps the most
able man outside of Catron, and stands
at the head for honesty, but unless he
gives himself to the gang, which includes
several devils, he will not be the nominee.
Others are mentioned for the Republican
nomination in the way of joke.
On the Democratic side of the fence
there are many possible candidates, any
one of whom may be chosen. There is at
present no incentive for combines with
the Democratic bosses, as they have no
militia warrant scheme or anything of
that sort, and it is all guess work in pick
ing out candidate.
Joseph is mentioned, as is but natural,
but circumstan :es would indicate that he
will not be candidate. 1t is not likely
that he cares for another term, even if
New Mexico continues territory, and, if
not, it will not profit him to make the
race, besides, there is said to be a very
strong opposition to his denomination.
1t is thought that Gov. Thornton may
have aspirations for the delegateship, and
many urge that he could bring to his sup
port the law abiding element of the terri
tory, especially in Santa Fe and San
Miguel counties. He has not yet ex-
pressed himself.
Felipe Chavez, of Belen, is also spoken
of. He is an able man, speaks both Ian
guages, Is perfectly honest, good Demo-
crat, and, if he so desired, could put $780,
00Tinto campaign without missing it
from an immense fortune.
Fl. B. Ferguson, of Albuquerque, is a
possibility, and would make strong
race, but his law practice would probably
prevent him becoming candidate for a
doubtful Office, with doubtful honor.
E. V. Chavez, of Socorro county, is
prominently spoken of for the nomina-
ton, ss combining all the elements
necessary for success in this territory,
and man who could most readily
harmonize the two largest elements of the
party. He is also enjoying lucrative
law practice, and his acceptance is doubt
full.
The Republican nomination will undoubt-
eddy be dictated by the personal interests
of the bosses, while, in the absence of such
interests, the Democratic nomination
will probably be dictated by the best in
terests of the party. 1t now looks as if
the Democratic nomination was between
Gov. Thornton and E. V. Chavez.-So-

PRESS COMMENTS.
Territorial Politics.


The saying that vice is twice as active
as virtue is verified by the present activ-
ity in the camp of the Republican party
of this territory, and the many states
already prepared for the consideration of
the coming convention, while practically
nothing is being done on the Democratic
side of the fence.
Catron is being talked of as the COM
ing candidate for delegate on the Repub-
lcan ticket, but it is probably all talk.
He made the effort of his life in 1892, at
a cost of more than $4,000, and the labor
of raising that much money for the cam
paign this fall would be greater than the
actual work of the campaign, with no
more chance of winning than he had two
years ago. 1t is true that he would like
to be delegate from this territory, but, as
it is more than likely that the next dele
too great for the possible return. Cat
ron's friends say that he will run if Jo-
seph is again put up by the Democrats,
relying upon certain dissatisfied elements
in the Democratic party for success. All
things considered, i is not likely that
Catron will be the candidate, but he is
greatly interested in the success of the
Republicans of New Mexico, because a
Republican victory means the payment
of a million or more fraudulent militia
warrants, and the carrying through OF
several other similar deals, in which he is
heavily interested, and for such reasons
will endeavor to secure Republican
legislature. The fact is that Catron
Staab, and others, are held together by

notice by such publication will proceed
to collect taxes from each and every lndi-

Grand canon of Colorado River

On the Santa Fe route, in northern
Arizona, 1852 miles from Kansas City, is
the town of Flagstaff. A triweekly stage
line runs from Flagstaff to the Grand
Canon of the Colorado river. More than
a mile in depth, this is the sublimest of
gorges-a Titan of chasms. Twenty
Yosemites might be hidden unseen below,
and Niagara would look scarcely larger
than brook.
Don't fail to visit this first wonder of
the world. You can "readup" about it by
asking g. T. Nicholson, G. P. & 7. A., A.
7. & s. F. R. R. Co., Topeka, Kas., to mail
you free copy of an illustrated book
describing this terra incognita. The book
is no common affair; but is entertainingly
written, beautifully illustrated and gem

For NEW YORK or BOSTON?
Because it has solid through service

cinch on the governorship. The Repub'
