sure to run against curios in pianos as
in everything else. In an old shop in
the center of this big city in the Win
dow is very small piano, made by
Garibaldi when in this country. 1t is
stated that the great general was really
a candle maker, but when work was
slack and with plenty of leisure on his
hands, he made miniature piano
about four feet long.
1t is of rustic make, the legs awkward
and plain, but rather picturesque in
color, with curvings something like
what we see so often in Switzerland.
The keys have still their whiteness,
while the owners name is in full just
above the keyboard. AS a piano it is
really of no value, but as an odd look
ing and interesting curio the shop
keeper values it at a high price.
There are marvellous productions in
pianofortes if one only seeks these
treasures in the different places where
they are sold. At one great warehouse
there is a superb affair of colonial
make. and finished in rich marquetry

instrument is worth thousands, the

THE CERRILLOS SHELTER.
Necessary Land for site Conveyed
by Senator Eilxins and MIR.
CatrOn.

Reliable information comes from Ger
rillos to the effect that a telegram was
received from Senator Elkins and Mr..
Catron on last Wednesday, from Wash
ington, which practically assures the
building of the large smelter in that
town, which has been 80 much talked Of
during the past few months.
The senator and Mr.. Oatron will con-
vey the land desired for the smelter site,
provided it is used for the purpose named,
otherwise it reverts to them.
This is all that was asked by the
smelter people, and is entirely satisfac-
tory. When he heard the land question
was definitely out of the way, Capt. M.
Balue, who had awaited the result in this
city, left Immediately for the east. He
will be gone ten days, and upon his re-
turn active construction work is to be
begun.
The thanks of the people of Cerrillos
and vicinity, as we'll as the smelter COM
pany are due to Hon. s. B. Elkins and to
Hon. T.. B. Catron for their donation of
land entirely free, for smelter uses. The
site is ample for the purpose,and the loca-
tion the best that has been talked of.
Water will be supplied by gravity; the
railroad tracks will be short and upon
easy grades, and the dumping ground is
sufficient for the accumulation of years.
That the plant will be financially success-
full in operation is conceded by everyone
who is at all acquainted with the re-
aodrces of this section Of the territory.

INVESTIGATION OF TRUSTS.
Several witnesses who Refurcd to
Testify Will BE Punished.

New York, Feb. 6.-Before the legisla-
tive joint committee on trusts adjourned
yesterday, Chairman Lexow announced
that the failure of John Searles, secretary
and treasurer of the American Sugar Re-
fining company, to appear before the
committee to-day would bring upon him
such punishment for contempt as the
laws of New York prescribed. Searles
was not on hand to-day. Edward M.
Shepard and John F. Parsons, attorneys
for the sugar company, explained that
subpoena was served on Searles just as he
was leaving the city. He was to-day in
Washington and could not meet the COM
mittee until Monday. John Arbuckle was
recalled. He said it was not true, as
stated, by vice.President Havemeyer that
the American Sugar Refining company
did not threaten to force him out of the
coffee business if he engaged in refining
sugar. "There ls no coffee business now"
Arbuckle said, and he explained the
profit in 1896 was only a of cent q
a pound, and in 1895 little less than 6
OF cent.

POSSIBLE COMPLICATIONS.
A Claim That the Election Laws OF
south Carolina Are Not in Accord
with the Federal Constitution.

Chicago, Feb. GA Washington spec
ial says: Complications have arisen which
may furnish dramatic interruption of
counting the electoral vote next Wednes-
day. Representative George Washing
ton Murray, the only colored member of
the house, who represents Charleston dis
trict, has just returned from South Caro-
lima, where he was in consultation with
leading Republicans of the Palmetto
state. He is armed with petition signed
by thousands of Republicans, protesting
against counting the electoral vote and
asking for an investigation of the cleo
tion laws and the state constitution.
claim is made that the election laws and
state constitution, upon which they are
based, are not in accord with the federal
constitution.
While the dispute over the vote OF
South Carolina can not in any way effect
the final result, the best authorities agree
that petition can not be ignored, and
investigation shows, that when such pro-
test is entered, the court must immediate
ly stop until the point is settled. What
ever the immediate result of this at
tempt to discredit South Cardinals vote
may be, there is no doubt that the pro
gram to be thus dramatically inaugural
ed is part of a scheme on the part of
several southern Republicans to over
throw the registration and election laws
in various southern states where the ne
gro vote predominate, the purpose being
to secure Republican domination in these
southern states, and reduce the Demo
cratic representation in congress.

southwestern New Mexico and southern
Arizona for the past year.
The gang originally consisted of five
members, two of which, Cole Estes and
Bob Hays, have been recently killed in
fights with U. s. marshais. Mcdonald has
made g threat that he would secure new
followers, and resume operations. It is
supposed that he was engaged in this
task on the Texas border when captured.

dations committed by these bandits. It

bandit will be taken for trial.
