A DISTRESSING FATALITY.

IIludy uOTuluS tuc ilISG ldbdl dCC.uCub on the trolley occurred here, between II and 12 o'clock in the forenoon. The three year-old son of Harry w. Roscoe was killed by trolley car. MT Roscoe is employed at Fishers grocery store and shortly before the accident he left home with his son in an open delivery wagon. When about half way up Taylor's hill, going towards Fairfield, they met car No.3S, going towards Southport. Mr Roscoe's horse had never manifested any fright of trolley cars, but this time he bolted, turned the wagon around and plugged across the track directly in front of the car. Mr Roscoe, who had been driving with one hand and holding the child with the other. was compelled to use both hands when the horse shied The wagon was tipped over, throwing both occupants out. MT Roscoe landed on one side of the track, but the child fell directly in front of the car, which passed over the little fellow, crushing his head and cutting of both feet. The father did not know that the child was hurt till he saw the mangled and bleed- ing body under the car wheels. Witness ses of the accident tenderly lifted the body into the wagon and took it to MT Roseoe's home. The funeral was held on Sunday, Rev Mir Boswell of the Meth odist church officiating. The interment was in North Wilton. The motor man, Gustave Blanch, and the conductor, Mat thew Bray of Fairfield, reported the ac. cident at the company's headquarters in Bridgeport and were suspended, pending an investigation. The car was without lenders of any kind, and the boy might not have been killed if proper fenders had been on the ear.

HOSPITAL WORK.
Annual Report Of the Sisters Of Chart
ty Work Laid Before the
Governor.

The Sisters of Charity have submitted
to Gov. Thornton their annual report, for
the fiscal year just ended, upon the con-
duct of St. Vincent charity hospital. The
report, which was prepared by Sister VIC
toria, is a clear and concise statement OF
the work done at the hospital, and Is al
together an interesting document. There
are four Sisters in charge of the hospital
work, who devote their entire time to
this charity, one of whom is druggist
and compounds the prescriptions.
There were treated at the hospital dur
ing the past year 1877 patients, twenty
seven of whom remained in the hospital
on the 5th of this month; ninety were dis
charged and twenty died.
There were 1,736 prescriptions tllled.
All manner of diseases were treated, the
total number being ffty-nine. The total
disbursements amounted to S6,73550,
and the receipts to $6,735,50, as follows:
Territorial appropriation, $4,549.79, OF
which $l,45O.2l is still due; pay patients,
$2O4.75; miners, $3.50; Cerrillos collec-
tions, $11575; sanitarium collections,
800, and donation, $25. Money given
the poor amounted to $101.90 and clothes
distributed among the needy cost $3.50.
The Sisters feel the need of enlarged
auarters. In their report they say:
SIN the management of the hospital,
however, we are embarrassed in great
degree. Our capacity is limited and the
demands become greater from year to
year.
"Aside from the natural growth of our
population, the large influx OF immigra-
ton brings many to our door for relief,
who, while proper cases for our care, can
not at all times be received and made as
comfortable as their ailments demand or
we would like, as every available bed and
place is utilized.
SIT is our constant aim to do the most
possible good with the facilities at our
command and to dispense the benefit of
the hospital to all who for any reason
may call upon us. We believe that this
effort will be generally conceded by the
public.
"Our best efforts now will be directed
to the following improvements: 10
build an additional ward on the ground
floor for paralytics and cripples and
from whore they could be moved into the
open air at any time. To build an oper
ating room of of and communicating
with this ward. Over this ward and room
it is designed to place ward exclusively
for patients with pulmonary affections.
''We also desire to establish full dis
pensary for the benefit of the poor, which
L., S.,kn
presided over by the attending physician
of the hospital"
The Sisters speak of the soliciting o
aims by inmates of the hospital who ar
from the humble walks of life, and be|
the public to discountenance such solicita
) ton, as the inmates receive the best pos
. sible attention, and their begging is
+. cause of humiliation to the Sisters. The
also invite all who are 80 inclined to visl
the hospital and inspect its management

Mr.. Geo. r. Bailey, of the Allerton COM
pany, came in to-day. He says the ferry
on the Cerrillos and Santa Fe route to
Cochiti is in full operation and proving
bonanza.
Capt. Tibbits has returned to Denver
and made most excellent report on
Santa Fe and Cochiti, incidentally touch
ing upon the upper Rio Grande placer
discoveries. The d. e. R. e. will extern
sively advertise this region, and the rush
will be greater than ever.
Harry Motley does not intend to lose
any of the Cochiti business if he can help
it. He started for the camp but could
only get as far as the ferry because tie
boat had not yet started and the river
was too high to ford Mr.. Motley did
not propose to lie idle, so he pitched his
tent at the ferry crossing and started a
restaurant Reports say that he is doing
rushing business.
Of private enterprise of Col. L. f.
Moore, of Cerrillos, and Hon. Lorion
Miller, of Albuquerque, the Albuquerque
Democrat gets off on the wrong loot
! as usual and says: "The Santa lie
scheme to make toll road from the CAPT
tai city to Cochiti will not be tolerated
by tho board of commissioners of Ber
nalillo county, and the schemers in Santa
Fe may just as we'll make up their MIND
TO that effect Albuquerque is building
good road and ferry from Wallace to
the mining towns, and everybody will bt
allowed to travel over it free" Santa
Fe isn't building any toll road. 1t is as
free as the pure air that Santa Feani
breath.

CAMP MEIGs' ROOM.

Many Santa Feans are interested in the
placer discoveries in the Rio Grande,
fifty miles north of the city and sixteen
miles east of Tres Piedras, and it is free
ly predicted by those who have pros
pected the ground that Camp Meigs will
eventually become one of the best placer
camps in the territory. Water is plentiful
as is also timber.
The result of one yard of dirt washed
in an old rocker was $1.S5. An improved
gold washer and saver will be taken to
the camp this week and it is expected to
revoutionize placer workings.
At present twenty-five men are on the
ground and at work. Tho narrow gauge
train men have formed syndicate and
secured rich ground there.
