They alternated pace and slowly drew up
on the bunch ahead. Staver and Winsett
went hard after Pickard, Hatton chasing
them and the leaders punching on the
back stretch of the second lap. The
scratch men were riding like fieDds to
catch up, and tackled on to the leaders just
as they were coming off the turn, Edwards
dropping out. The pace on the back
stretch Staver started out, followed by
Kiser and Winsett. Pickard went high on
the bank and was out or the race. Staver
led to the home stretch, when Hatton made
a splendid squirt, passing him down the
stretch and winning by short wheel,
Staver just catching second place from
Winsett. Time, 2:16 80, kiser's time
from scratch was gale 40, he finishing
right up in the bunch.
Sixth race-The last event on the card
was the one-mile handicap, class A. The
positions of the men were as follows: Lacy,
Hewitt, Cromwell, scratch; Robbins, so
yards; Coty. Casenave. rs yards; Glenn,
Loudermilk, Shafer, 125 yards; Patterson,
from scratch at q killing pace, Hewitt and
Cromwell tacking on. Patterson at the
limit set het pace for the first third, but
could not hold out. The other men punched
on the finish of the second lap. As they
were rounding the turn Lacy made cut in
for the pole. Shafer, a new rider, lost his
head, struck Lacy's rear wheel and fell,
throwing Cromwell heavily, the latter
bringing down Hewitt. Lacy went on and
won the race handly, Glenn getting fair
second. Time, 2:17 As.
The great Stearns sextuplet then came
out, manned by Dow, Winsett, Robbins,
Staver Rickard and Hatton, and paced
Shefski for an exhibition mile. No at
tempt was made at very fast work, the
machine not being in condition. Shefski
finished with a squirt in 200 1-5, the
working of the men on the big machine
being viewed with much interest on the
part of the spectators.
This finished the card, and the crowd
made a rush for the special train outside.
Following is summary of the events:

No Plumbers Needed

Considerable excitement was occasioned
last evening at the young women's board
ing home on Fourth street by the supposed
bursting of water pipe on the third floor.
Shortly after prayers the inmates of the
home were alarmed to hear water pouring
down outside and splashing violently
against the windows of the first floor. The
matron, as we'll as the boarders, was great
ly excited. Some suggested that it was a
cloudburst; others that it was merely a
water pipe out of order, and, after frantic
debate, three enterprising young women
we're dispatched. each in different direc-
ton, in quest of plumbers. After some
wistful peering into unlighted plumbing
shops and unsuccessful telephoning, they
returned to the Home to report, just as the
bell.boys and the stray porter or two, who
had rallied to the scene from the hotel
nearby, were departing. An atmosphere
of exaggerated peace and quietude, un-
broken save by the subdued drip of water
upon the window outside, pervaded the
place. 1t was then explained to the anx-
ious young women that the flood had been
caused simply by the zeal for cleanliness
of a young lady, who, equipped with bucket
and broom and an unlimited supply of
water, had seized the opportunity afforded
by darkness for scrubbing an upper bal
cony.

LIVE STOCK QUARANTINE.
Substantial Recognition BY the GOV
eminent Of New MeXicO's SAINT
tary Laws.

Secretary j. A. Larue, of the New Mex
leo cattle sanitary board, has just re-
ceived copy of the governments new
regulations, dated January p, 1896, con-
corning the movement of southern cattle
to northern states, the coming season, be-
ginning February Is, and continuing
until November Is. Under these new regu-
lstions some very material changes in the
quarantine line have been made. The
whole of California and the whole of
Texas have been put under the ban, leav-
ing Arizona and New Mexico clear. I'm
portant provisions are made, however,
for states which have special legislation
on the matter, and which have sanitary
institutions established for efficient in
spection. Under these exceptions any
state or territory can by submitting a
copy of their inspection laws or regula-
tiens to Secretary Morton have the quar-
antine law SO amended in their own indi.
yidual cases as to allow of cattle coming
up fir ON the prescribed district into such
state or territory, provided the depart
ment approves of the regulations made
to govern such movement.
It is probably intended to force Texas
and California to individually protect the
portions of their states which are affected
with Texas fever from those portions not
affected and also to force northern states
not having efficient inspection laws to
proceed at once to have them. Much
satisfaction is expressed over this sub
stantial recognition by the government
of the efficiency of New Mexi,o's cattle
sanitary laws.

THE PEN. LIGHT PROF ECT.
Com ri, issiOner Dame Figures 1t Out
Paying Investment for the
Territory

OF late there has been considerable talk
of job being put up by officials at Santa
Fe, whereby some one was to make con-
siderable money out of an increased
electric light plant to be put in at the
psnitentiary, which is to furnish power
to the Capital Electric Light company,
recently organized in that city.
The Rustler, few days ago, asked
Penitentiary Commissioner Dame what
he had to say about it, and he replied in
substance as follows:
The cost of lighting the penitentisry is
now about $50 per month. 1t is abso-
lutely necessary to increase the present
plant, as we shall be called upon soon to
furnish power to light the new capitol
building. The additional plant will cost
$1,000, but will be capable of furnishing
more power than will be required. The
Capital Electric Light company asks that
a part of this surplus power be sold it,
and price of 81 per horse power per
month has been agreed upon, the COM
pany guaranteeing to take a minimum of
3O-horse power regularly with posi-
bi,ty of taking 60horse power. Basing
calculations upon the minimum, 30-horse
power. or $3.50 per month, it is estimated
that the penitentiary will clear profit
from this sale, and, after furnishing the
lights at the penitentiary, of $50 per
month In cash, which amount placed with
the $50 month, the expense now, will
represent saving over present methods
of $13O month. This will not be de-
creased when lights are furnished the
capitol building, as when this ls done the
proportionate cost of fuel must come
from the capitol fund.
Mr.. Dame asserts positively that no in
huence has been brought to bear upon
the hoard by any territorial or federal
official to bring this arrangement about,
nor is any official in any way interested
in the Capital Light company except I.
P. Gable, who, as private citizen, has
as much right to own stock as has Mr..
Cartwright or Mr.. Sparks and others. He
said he looked upon it as a straight BUSH
ness proposition, and thought the peni-
Tertiary fund would at least not have the
worst of the trade. Yet he considered it
doubtful whether the final agreement
would be reached, as the company had 80
far been unable to put up the bond re-
auired, and the chances were against its
being furnished. The time for furnish
ing the bond has been extended until
March 1.-Cerrillos Rustler.
The above is all right except that it ID
misleading as to the use of Mr.. Cart
wright's name. This gentleman statet
that he has not been or is he now in any
way connected with the Capital Electric
Light company.

A Miner Talks.

Capt. A. B. Fitch, manager of the great
Graphic silver-lead mines near Magda-
lena, was up from Socorro yesterday. He
hopes to have the new smelter in opera
ton by April l. 1t is to have a capacity
of 100 tons daily, and, including $4,000
tons Of ore on the dump, there is now
blocked out and in sight in the mine suf-
hcient ore to run the plant about five
years. Capt. Fitch says there is no ques'
ton but that the silver and lead market
of the world to-day is wholly at the mercy
of spectators, though he thinks their
gripl Is only temporary, and would not be
surprised any day to see their squeeze
loosened, when both silver and lead may
take a startling bound forward in price.

MOTION FOR A new TRIAL
Attorneys for Vermillion's Alleged
Assailants Make Strong Pleas.
Judge Cox Admits That the Jury
Never Did Agree Upon the Ques-
tiOn of Assault

The case of John Early, Richard Hurley
and Maurice Davis, CONVICTED OF assault
ing Policeman William VermiliOn, when
Timothy Dempsey was killed last fall
was argued before Judge Cox this morn
Ing on molten for new hearing.
EN-Representative c. II. Turner OF coun-
sci for the defense mad, the first speech.
He said the men were convicted OF sCme-
thing they We're never charged with. 1t
was an impossible verdict. The state of
facts made out by the defense wGun av.
admit it. If the government witnesses
told the truth the defendants should have
have been convicted OF assau uiting an officer
III the witnesses for the defense were be-
lievci, the verdict should have been ac-
Quittal. There was no middle ground
To convict these Inen OF an offensc they
were not charged with, was 4 practical
violation or the funda mental right that
a man must be confronted with the charges
against him, together with the evidence,
III order that lie might answer each specific
alleged fact.
Attorney Joseph Sbillington followed with
the authorities upon the subject. He read
showing that the charge must De stated in
specific not general terms, and the speci-
fled orfense must be found TO have been COM
mittcd.
He also argued that While n conviction
for simple assault might have been returned
under the Indictment, assault and battery
as actually returned was not allowable.
He argued that the Jury really did not a gree
upon verdict.
Yes said Judge Cox. lit was plainly
a compromise verdict. A few moments be-
fore the jury came in they sent me word
that they were hopclessly disagreed. II
was not twenty minutes before they an
huunccd Il verdict II is clear they were dis
agreed permanently as 10 assault upon the
officer"
Mr.. Jeffords spoke briefly upon the au-
thoritics cited, and pointed out that Judge
Cox had plainly charged the jury that the
greater offensc inclUded the less and they
might find verdict Of assault.
Judge Cox said he would give a decision
probably next Wednesday
