A trench about four feet deep 10 dug
ON each side of the tracks across the

are supported 10y plates of boiler iron.
instead of expensive masonry, boltcd
to u shaped iron castings To these
castings is fastened the lower and sta

opening through which the cato comes
up is, of course, protected from dirt,

opening or slit is protected, as public
travel over it is stopped The bottom Of
the trench is Of gravel or concrete, and

account Of Nelson ln the Battle of
Copenhagen for The Century. Captain
Mahan quotes the following from the
account of the engagement written by
Colonel Stewart Of the British forces;
Lord Nelson was at this time. as be
had been during The whole action, walk
ing the starboard side Of the quarter
deck, sometimes much animated and mt
othors horoically fine in his obscrya-
tions. a shot through the mainmast
knocked q few splinters about us. He

compared his rebuke some days after the

the rounded ships, AT such moment
the delivery Of anything like a dcspond-
ing opinion, unasked, was highly repre-
hcnsible and deserved much more cen

Tragedy at Ouaymas.

Thursday word came from Guaymas that on Tuesday Seiior Clodomiro Maytorena, young man belonging to one of the most noted and aristo- cratic families in Sonora, had com mitted suicide by shooting himself; and Senorita Amparo Iligo, his affianced, from an equally prominent family, was at the point of death from dose of poison self admin istered
 As related to TIE OASIS by a gen. tleman acquainted with all the parties, the particulars of the gIue- some tragedy are about as folloNs: The stepmother of the young lady had endeayored to break the engage ment between the pair and had for bade the young man her house. The two then met regularly at the house of mutual friend. Learning this the stepmother locked up the girl at home. Young Maytorena called upon the stepmother and indulged in some very plain language. He afterward used some very violent language to- ward Dr. Figueroa, who, as a mutual friend of both families, was asked te reason with him in the matter. An order for the arrest of the young man followed. and when it was served at his fathers residence Tuesday, he was advised by his parent to submit. while his family would use every ep. deavor to square the matter. He consented anG said ne would go witk the policeman as soon as he could finish dressing. His father left him and in moment heard two shots in the room where the young man was. Returning the shocked and agonized parent found his son 10 death agony, ne having taken two pistols, put one Co each temple and pulled the triggers the balls crossing each other in his brain When the shocking intel ligence was conveyed to Miss lfligo. she took dose of poison, aud was at the point of death when the inform ant left Guaymas.

stabbing Array.

Sunday afternoon serious stabblDg affray accured on Morley avenue, in front of the Montezuma hotel, in which Rosalio Hernandez received severe wounds at the hands of Rosario Gotta, alias "El Burrto,p seriously en- dangering his life.
 The two men were fellow employees in La Mexicana bakery, and had been drinking together. They were walk ing rorthward along Morley avenue, hand in hand, carrying on mandlin conversation, when suddenly "El Bu- rriton drew large knife and plunged 1t into the back Of his companion just below the left shoulder blade. He made two more vicious stabs at his victim who warded off the slashes with his hand, receiving severe cut in the wrist and nearly severing a finger. The stabber immediately ran back along the railway track and was quickly lost to view between the buildings on both sides of the track. Making his way along this narrow space with all speed he crossed Inter- national street and was on Mexican soil. Seeing him come over with a bloody knife in his hand tue chief Of police took him into custody and lodged him in jail on that side of the line, where he is still confined.
 The wounded man was taken to Dr. Welles' office where his wounds were dressed, and later in the day he was removed to the SanitarIum.

 He went to Burnett's place and made an ugly talk to the Chinaman there employed. Burnett was not at home. The Chinaman went to Crit tenden, where he found Burnett, and reported what Greene had said. Bur
 
 nett went to Tombstone and swore out warrant for the arrest of Greene. An officer went to Greene's ranch, took the latter into custody and con- veyed him to Tombstone. At that place, while still in custody, he met Burnett on the street and shot him, killing him instantly.

 Porter Fred Hummer of the Pull ear service on the Sonora railway, who had been ill several weeks, is again about and will shortly resume his duties on the road.
 Intelligence from Guaymas We'd nesday brought the shocking news of the death.by suicide of Mir, C. Mayto- rena, one of tho most prominent and best known young men of the Sonora metropolis.
