CATRON BEATEN AGAIN.
The Legislature to Convene January
1S-lnterpreters and TranSiatOrs
Provided F0r-'Erickery
Knocked Out.

In agreeing to the final report on the
legislative, executive and judicial appro-
priation bill congress adopted an amend
ment reading as follows:
"Provided, That the next session of the
legislative assembly of the territory of
New Mexico shall commence on the third
Monday in January, 1897, and each sue
ceeding session thereof shall commence
on the third Monday in January of every
odd-numbered year thereafter. Provided
further, That no other officer of either
house of said legislative assembly shall
be elected or appointed, or paid out of
any moneys appropriated by the congress
of the United 3Ste-,s or by the legislative
assembly of Aaid' territory, than such az
may be provided for by the laws of the
United States, except translator and an
interpreter"
The above has become law, and stands
in lieu of the amendme mt which Delegate
Catron had offered in March and which
provided for three important changes as
respects the meeting and organization of
the legislature. These were:
First--Mr. Catron sought to take from
the territorial secretary the power of
swearing in the members.

st. Louis, May 2s.--Two hundred lives
snuffed out in this city, as many more in
East st. Louis, and property destroyed
running into millions, is the record made
by the 9th day of May, 1896. This is a
conservative estimate.
bodies of the dead.
East St. Louis is gigantic cemetery.
Under the debris of buildings are
scores buried whose bodies may not be
brought to light for many days, perhaps
never.
1t wss the most disastrous storm in the
history of the southwest.
The storm apparently did little dam
age in the business and northern portions
of the city, save along the river front,
where the damage can not be estimated;
nor will it ever be known just how many
gave up their lives in the waters of the
Mississippi, when the tornado tore all
the boats in the harbor from their moor
ings.
In south St. Louis the storm spent it's
force. From Papin street to Carondolet
it put stamp on the face of the city that
will not be effaced for years. Big, strong
buildings fell before the winds like
houses made of cards.
ENTERED SOUTHWESTERN SUBURBS.
From where it entered the city, in the
southwestern suburbs, to where it left,
somewhere near Eads bridge, there is
wide ruin. Factory after factory went
down and piles of bricks and timbers
mark the spots on which they stood.
Dwellings were thrown in every direction.
Business houses we're fiattened. There
was no chance for escape.
Thousands of families in south st.
LOU are homeless and temporary hos
pitas letter hundreds.
Early in tine storm che plant of the La
clede Gas company, at Fourteenth and
Poplar streets, was blown down and
wrecked. Gas was thus cut off from the
central part ot the city. This effected
the newspaper offices severely.
Liggitt & Meyers big factory, on Comp
ton Heights, is in ruins and many we're
killed and injured in the wreck.
Elevators were blown down, boats sunk
and churches and school houses demol-
ished.
After the wind and rain had done their
work,
FIRE ADDED TO THE DESTRUCTION.
Retzel's mill was burned with loss OF
$15O,OOO. The Harris barrel factory,
fifty loaded cars in the terminal yards
Hard's feed store and many smaller
places were burned.
The destruction of the water-works
early in the storm cut off the water sup
ply and the firemen fought fire with the
bucket brigade as best they could.
Some Of the largest buildings in the
city were blown down and many freight
houses we're demolished. As an illustra
tion of its force, the storm carried away
300 feet of the eastern approach OF the
Eads bridge. Freight trains were blowr
off the track and landed, capsized, in the
swamps. One train was blown almost
bodily into the river. Some light houses
such as abound in East St. Louis, wer'
blown bodily away.
The levee for miles up and down wa
devastated and laid waste. Great steam
ers we're torn from their moorings at tn

answered, through Attorneys Carlisle and

against them by Pauline Ballin, Mrs. ANA
teis' mother, in which Mrs. Ballin asked
that trust reposed by her in Mr.. ANA

They say that Mrs. Ballin has resided in
New York for forty years, and that she is
well able to understand English. They
emphatically deny that any fraud or mis-
presentation was practiced or attempted
by them or any other relative to the exc
cution of the trust or, indeed, in any other
matter. They say, too that they never
persuaded or attempted to persuade her to
execute the deed in trust, asserting that il
was an entirely voluntary matter on Mrs
Ballil's part. Every detail they say, was
fully explained to and understood by Mrs
Balm. end they ask, therefore, that the
suit be dismissed
