MID-OCEAN RESCUE.
Perils Of Saving Drowning Per-
sons at Sea.
Many Lives Often Risked to Save Ono
"a, Stirring Incident of n Trip Across
i -. the Atlantic = A Would-Be
Suicide.

y Much :mperiling of life is demanded
IN the mid-ocean rescue of a drowning
man, and such an incident always fur
nishes intense dramatic interest for
spectator. Baron de Malortie, in re-
cent interesting work, recalls an excit-
ing scene he witnessed years ago, while
crossing the Atlantic. The ship was
several days out, when one afternoon
he WA idly lounging about on the up
per deck. Suddenly, he says, l saw

afterward that they were his Bible and

storm covered my voice, and l rushed
up to the bridge to call the attention of
the officer on duty to the accident.

for the lowering of the boat were the

the boat when young doctor, quickly
pocketinga flask of brandy for restor-
alive, let himself down one of the ropes
and reached the boat as monumental
wave was dashing over it.
The men pulled with will, and the
gallant little nutshell fought bravely
up and down the mountains of angry
waters. AS to the suicide, he was far
astern and only from time to time could
we see the something like a human
form emerge on the top of white
crested wave.
Oh, the anxiety with which we
watched both the boat and it's goall
Disappearing altogether at moments,
when we feared we had seen the last of
these noble fellows, another gigantic
wave would toss them up again like
cork. 1t was exciting in the extreme.

REBUILDING THE CAPITOL.
Remarkable and satisfactory Prog
ress Has Been Made During Past
M0nth-Massive Foundations
Completed.

After the lapse of just month, rep
resentative of the NEW MEXICAN this
morning paid second visit to the scene
ofthe rebuilding of New Mexlco's capitol
in Santa Fe, for the purpose of accurately
reporting the progress of the work.
Since the reporters last visit the force
of convicts employed thereon has been
increased from 40 to so men, and, includ.
ing seven guards, five expert mechanics
superintendent l. H. Rapp and Foreman
J. Q. Hull, the force engaged within the
stookade numbers GA men. Mr.. o. l..
Merrill, assistant superintendent of the
penltentiary, is also on duty at the capi-
tol grounds most of the time.
During the past four weeks the massive
exterior ana interior foundations have
been completed and are ready for the
first floor joists. This important part
OF the work deserves more than passing
mention. The exterior foundations are
composed of limestone, are three feet
thick, are planted on a preparation of
concrete and cement and vary in height
from nine to 16 feet from the base. The
interior foundations are built of vitrlfied
brick of the best quality with stone foot
lngs laid on concrete and cement. Three
hundred and sixty thousand brick and
several thousand superficial feet of stone
have been used in these foundations.
The basement is divided into Is rooms
with main corridor extending the entire
length thereof and two cross corridors,
these corridors exactly corresponding to
those that are in the plans for the first
floor of the main building. The basement
also includes the most perfect provision
for modern steam heating appliances,
water service and fan for forcing pure
air through the entire building.
The stone stairs leading up to the main
entrance of the building will rest on a
solid stone foundation laid above the air
fan which will be located in the center of
the basement.
The work so far done is first class in
all respects, being absolutely fire proof
and SO massive and substantial that it
would easily support the weight of ten
story structure of shetland granite. This
is sufficient guarantee that the cut
stone walls to be reared thereon will en-
dure for ages without crack, flaw or blem-
ish. Nearly enough stone has already
been cut for the first course, the water
table and the window and door sills, and
five stone saws and number of expert
stone cutters are constantly employed
shaping additional material for the build
ers. Most of the joists for the first floor
have also been framed and are ready to
be placed in position.
The work so far is above and beyond
criticism. 1t has been critically inspect.
ed by numerous practical and expert me.
ohanics and they all agree that Superin-
tendent Rapp has laid foundations that
are in every way worthy of the noble
superstructure his plans call for.

DEATH OF JAMES CURRY.
One OF the Pioneer Passenger Con-
ductOrs on the Denver n RiO
Graude System Has Passed
Away.

The trembling wires bring the sad in
telligence that James Curry, for many
years conductor on the New Mexico di-
vision of the Denver g. Rio Graude rail
road, died at the railroad hospital in
Salida, Colo, last night, as the result of
an operation aimed to cure critical
case of appendicitis. The deceased
showed decided signs of improvement
yesterday, as announced in these columns,
but relapse ensued and death soon after
followed. His weeping wife and sorrow
smitten l2 year-old son were at his bed
side when the final summons was served.
james Curry was born in New York so
years ago and began life as railroad
telegraph operator in his native state at
the age of 16 years. He faithfully served
in that capacity until he moved westward
to accept position as brakeman on the
Santa Fe system. His faithfulness, hon.
estY and efficiency we're soon recognized
and rewarded and he was promoted to
the responsible position of conductor
of freight train on the Santa Fe.
In 1880, he secured position as con-
ductor of passenger train on the D. &
X. &. railroad (then known as the "bsby
narrow gauge'0, and since then he has
been in the continuous service of that
company as passenger conductor. He
was in charge Of the first passenger train
that ran into Durango, Colo, in July
1881, for several years served on that di-
vision, and, IN 1885, was transferred to
the New Mexico division, then only ex-
tending to Espanola.
The fact that he never tried to draw
more than the monthly salary awarded to
him by his company is amply attested by
the fact that his company never suspect
ed him of wrong doing during all these long
years, and, while many other passenger
conductors fell by the wayside, Jim Cur
ry continued steadily to enjoy the implicit
confidence of his employers.
Yet Jim Curry never forgot the obliga-
tions he owed to his good wife and bright
and intelligent boy. He carefully saved
his earnings for their sake and invested
the same In fruit ranch near Espanola
that is probably worth $4,000. He has
left his family comfortable home, no
debts, good name, and probably 1000
bearing apple, peach, pear, cherry, april
cot, nectarine and plum trees. He also
left life insurance policies worth $4,000
in several companies and associations.
The body reached Espanola at O'Clock
this afternoon and the funeral took place
an hour later under the auspices of Rev.
4. Nj. Craig of Santa Fe. The body was
buried on the ranch of the deceased by
the side of favorite little daughter who
died several years ago.
