A DISASTROUS FIRE.
The Largest Business Building In
Chattanooga, Tenn. Destroyed by
Fire which started from
Furnace.

Chattanooga, Tenn, April 3. - The
Richardson building, the largest in Chat
tanooga, was burned between $3.50 and 6
o'clock this morning. The fire caught
from furnace in the basement and ran
up the elevator shaft. The watchman
warned the gentlemen on the sixth floor,
and all succeeded in getting out, except
Boyd Ewing, one of the wealthiest men
in this section, and s. M. Patton, one of
the most prominent architects In the
south. Ewing attempted to climb down
the fire escape but fell from the top. His
body was badly mutilated. Patton was
cut off from escape on the stairs. His
body is in the ruins. About 100 offices
and four stores were in the building.
Loss, 100000. Insurance, 100000.
Nothing was saved from the building,
and the loss on its contents is distributed
among about 100 people. A two.story
building adjoining was also destroyed,
and the Third National bank across the
street was badly damaged. Among the
heaviest loosers are the American Invest
ment company, owners of the building
and large part of it's contents; r. O..
Kingsley q Co., merchants, and the Chat
tanooga Building & Loan association.
Nearly all the lawyers of this city had
offices in the building. Many valuable
papers, which cannot be replaced, were
burned. Frank Carter, lawyer, who at
tempted to save some papers from the
office of the Third National bank build.

BUSINESS DONE IN BOATS.
High Water in the Town of Green
vile, Miss, Forces the Inhabitants
to so About the streets i'm
Skltfs.

Greenville, Miss, April "a wide sweep
of water covers the north half of the city
without any protection from the levee
which keeps out the rising water from
the business part of the town. All nec-
essary shopping, marketing, visiting by
doctors and the like, in the overtlowed
sections, is done by skiffs. Every street
contains feet of these boats. The
three crevasses above here are pouring
their torrents into a basin between the
river and the eastern hills, and the whole
country is unquestionably in danger and
railroad traffic is entirely cut of. There are
about $4,000 people in the city. Four or
five Thousand are in the flooded section,
and suffering among the poorer classes is
beginning to be severely felt. ...

SERVICE ON THE YANTIC.
Mr.. w. Ill. Goebei served Three Wears
on That Vessel a. Quarter
master.

The reported grounding of the u. S.
warship Yantic off the mouth of the Uru.
quay river in South America few days
ago, was an incident that recalled to Mr..
w. Il. Goebel days that are gone aud a
life that is sealed book to landsmen.
In the years of 1S8O8 SO Mr.. Goebel
served on the Yantic as quartermaster, and
while aboard the vessel visited all the
principal ports on the Atlantic seaboard
and in the West indies. The winter Of
1880 the ship WAS sent to st. Johns, N. F.,
for the purpose of bringing home the re-
mains of U. S. navy paymaster, who had
died at that place the summer before.
Before all arrangements for the removal
of the body could be completed the bay
was frozen over, and the ship and crew
were compelled to remain until late in the
spring before navigation was opened
again.
In contrast to this cold experience was
the summer of 1881. In July, a smuggler
who had been chased by the revenue cut
ters of some of the South America gov
ernments, sent word to Washington that
he had struck reef in the Gulf of Mex
leo, and The Yantic was sent down to sur
vey and locate that reef for the benefit OF
navigators in those waters. For nearly
three weeks the crew toiled under tropi
cal son in open boats, drank boilinghot
condensed water, chased all around the
latitude and longitude given by the
smuggler, and found-water. 1t after
ward came out that the sunken reef re-
port was a scheme on the part of the
smngglers to get United States vessel IN
the gulf for protection against capture by
revenue cutters. When New York was
reached, on returning from reef chasing,
the officers heard of the shooting of Gar
field by Gnlteau.
In December, 1880, while going south,
the Yantic encountered fearful gale off
Cape Hatteras, and for one entire day the
men on board gave up all hopes Of ever
seeing land again. The Yantic is COM
paratively q small vessel, in heavy sea
rolls frightfully, and in this storm the
men were in danger of being mauled to
death by the pitching of the ship, as well
IS from finding decidedly wet place for
their long sleep.
During his service Mr.. Goebel sailed as
far north as Halifax, as far south as
Colon, on the isthmus, saw much that was
pleasant, and that which was disagree
able as well. He thinks that Key West
grows more and bigger mosquitoes than
any other one place on the globe, that Bar
Harbor is an ideal summer resort, and IN
the winter Colon is the finest city on the
continent. On December 25, 1889, he
was honorablg discharged from the navy,
and left the sea FOR good. In 1883 he
came west, stopping in Cheyenne, Wyo,
for two years, and in 1885 came to Santa
Fe. He desires to make just one more
voyage, from San Francisco to New York
around the Horn, for pleasure only-of
the sea as place of business or service
he has had enough.

SHERMAN PROTESTS.
He Advises the spanish Minister That
the Execution Of Gen. Rivera will
Arouse Dangerous Indignation
In This Country.

/ Chicago, April 3.-A Times-Herald
Washington special says: Secretary
Sherman has protested against the execu-
tion of General Rniz Rivera, the Cuban
leader, recently captured BY the Spanish.
President Mckinley and Secretary Sher-
man discussed the case, and the latter at
the presidents suggestion, communicated
with Senior de LONE, the Spanish minister,
who was given to understand that the
execution would rouse so much indigna.
tion throughout the United States as to
embarrass the government. Senior de
Lone communicated the substance of
this informal protest to his govern
ment and there are reasons for believing
that the Spanish authorities will cable
orders 10 Havana which will save Rivera's
life.

GOLDEN AND SAN PEDRO.
Richer in Mineral Than the Far
Famed Cripple Creek Of Colorado
Many Mines in Operation
and Mills Busy.

Special Correspondence of New Mexican.
Cerrillos, N. NJ, April at is notice
able that, for some reason, the various
other mining districts of the territory re-
ceive more attention from the territorial
press than those of south Santa Fe county.
Had this section been as we'll advertised
as some of our neighboring camps, it
would be now one of the most prosperous
camps in New Mexico. A lack of amuoh
needed progressive spirit appears to pre-
vail throughout the county. With the
exception of an occasional letter from
special correspondents to the NEW MEX
1cAN and Albuquerque papers it would
never be known that there existed such a
mining district as that of Golden and San
Pedro--so near the capital city.
Speaking of second Cripple Greek,
there is more mineral to the square mile
in this section of Santa Fe county and
better surface mineral indications and
general formation than is to be found in
Oolorados Grip pie Greek. If one.tenth;
yes, one.fiftieth part of the money spent
in the latter place for development and
advertising the camp was put to the same
use in the Golden and San Pedro camps.
Cripple Greek would have rival in this
part of New Mexico unequaled elsewhere.
Furthermore, if the business men of
Santa Fe would interest themselves
enough to inquire into the great mineral
resources almost at their doors and take
an active part, as did the citizens of
Colorado Springs in heralding far and
wide the resources of Cripple Creek, they
would assist wonderfully in bringing to
the notice of the mining world this as yet
unknown Ell Dorado, and would reap the
same benefit that Colorado Springs did
by SO doing.
There is more development work going
on in this section than would besupposed
for the reasons named. Among others
can be mentioned the Gold Standard, @
and @, Black Prince, Gipsy, Saint Can.
delaria and Candelaris, these are in active
operation.
One stamp mill and two Huntington
mills are running continuously, and all

lores the Ortiz Mining company is work.
ing 16 men on the Ortiz mine, having
three shifts on the working shaft. The
strike mentioned recently is holding out
remarkably we'll and the lead becomes
stronger as greater depth is attained.
With this showing, this region should
receive more attention, which 1t justly
deserves, from the papers of our territory
for the mutual benefit of her citizens.

NEW MEXICO AT NASHVILLE
Hon. j. j. LeesOn is Meeting with
Great Success in Gathering Fine

see Centennial Exposition.

Hon. j. j. Lesson came up from the
south last night, from visit to the min
ing camps in Grant, Sierra, Socorro, and
Lincoln counties, where he gathered 1000
pounds of minerals, and 100 pounds of
turuuois for the Tennessee Centennial
exposition, making total of % tons
now ready for shipment. In addition to
this Mr.. S. E. Bretherton, manager of the
Silver City Reduction company, and
Capt. Fitch, manager of the Magdalena
smelling works are preparing large
special exhibits Mr.. Leeson will begin
the collection of minerals from Santa Fe
county at once, and will secure fine
specimens from the San Pedro and Golden
districts. Several of the counties will
make special display and New Mexico's
mineral wealth will be well represented
at Nashville.
Mr.. E. 0. Faulkner, of Eddy, receiver
of the Pecos Valley railroad, has the agri-
cultural display in charge, and will make
a magnificent showing. The Pecos valley
beet sugar factory will furnish two ounce
souvenir sacks of sugar for free distribu-
tion as reminder to the general public

Railroads for Red River.

1t is reported on good authority that
the Santa Fe road contemplates building
branch from Springer to La Belle in
Taos county. II is evidently the inten-
tion to follow the present stage route now
in use between the two places, that road
being comparatively smooth and level.
The Gulf is also said to be arranging to
build line of road into the Red River
country from Vasquez.
These two roads are advertising the
mining districts of northern New Mexico
extensively, and no doubt see in the devel-
opment of that district a permanent
growth which will make the building of
branches into it profitable investment.

AFTER TWO YEARS.
A Murder Committed in DOna Ana
County in 1895 Discovered and the
Guilty Parties Arrested.

The truth of the old saying that "mur-
der will out" has again been proven, this
time in Dona Ana county, by the arrest
of a man who committed that crime two
years ago.
In MAY, 1895, Manuel Fuentes, Daniel
Vslderama, Jesus Chaoou and Luz Valde-
rama, the wife of Jesus Chacon, reached
Ell Psso from Old Mexico. After short
stay in that city the party left for the
Mogollon mountains in wagons, and the
company was forgotten.
Teodoro Chacon, living in Chihuahua,
Mexico, wrote several letters to his
brother, Jesus, but receiving no answers,
became suspicious that all was not right
and came to New Mexico to look into the
matter. He found Manuel Fuentes liv'
ing with his brothers wife in Dona Ana
county, and Fuentes wearing the clothes
of the missing man. Chacon went to
Sheriff Garrett and told his suspicious.
Mr.. Garrett had the couple arrested in Ell
Paso, where they had gone, and went to
that city to make thorough examination
of the case.
Under close questioning the woman
broke down and told story of cold.
blooded murder. On their way to the
Mogollon mountains two years before,
Fuentes killed her husband and compelled
her to live with him under threats of
death If she ever spoke of the killing.
Her brother, Daniel Valderama, was also
kept quiet by the same threat. After
killing Chacon, Fuentes burned the body
and buried the charred remains on the
prairie, the exact location of which she
gave.
Sheriff Garrett sent three deputies un-
der the enforced guidance of Fuentes to
find the grave and exhume the remains.
Fuentes took them to the vicinity of
Chambray station on the 8. P. road,
where the shallow grave and the bones of
the murdered man were found.
Daniel Valderama, a boy of only 16
years, brother-in-law of the murdered
man, fed to Mexico when the investiga.
tion began, but he will undoubtedly be
found and brought back to stand trial as
an accessory to the crime.
