MRS. NEBEKER DEAD.
The Only Daughter of c. r. More
head

Mrs. B. A. Nebeker, the only dsugh-
ter of G.. r. Morehead, president of the
State National bank, died last night at
o'clock at the home of her parents on
Myrtle avenue after a short illness.
Mrs. Nebeker had been in Ell Paso
only few weeks and was until Thurs
day night apparently in the best of
health. She was taken violently i'll at
10 o'clock Thursday night, and despite
the greatest effort on the part of the
physicians to save her life, she expired
last evening at 8 o'clock.
B. A. Nebeker, husband of deceased,
is of the lumber firm of Bassett and
Nebeker of Santa Monica, California.
He is expected to reach the city on to-
days train from the west. The funeral
takes place Sunday at noon from the
MOrehead residence.
Mrs. Nebeker left two young
children, and she would have given
birth to a third in q few weeks. This
circumstance adds to the sorrow which
her sudden death has caused.
The years of Mrs. Nebeker's life
prior to her marriage were passed in
this city, where she had large num-
Der of warm friends, who will mourn
her loss and sympathize most deeply
with the parents and husband in their
great bereavement.

Pest House Location Settled. j.

The joint committees from the city
council and the county commissioners
met this morning and finally settled the
matter as to where the pest house will
be placed.
They have spent the last two days
in looking over the city's deeds to the
property where the present. house is
and they find that the city has good
title to the property and can't be en-
joined.
The property was brought from
James Burns and his title was good, as
the city attorney at that time, w. n.
Burgess, so reported.
The two committees met in joint
session this morning at eleven o'clock,
Mayor Msgoffin and Alderman Stewart
for the city and Judge Harper and Mr..
Courchesne for the county.
Contractor J. @. Crawford was pres
eut and the contract was let to him for
the house. The new house will be
long frame one, heavily papered to
keep out the cold. 1t is calculated to
accommodate twenty-five patients.

voted to a revision of the treaties of

sions of Spain, and to settling the
various fnanciBl questions at Issue be-
tweeo the two countries.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 26 1t is not of
ficialy known st Washington whether
there be a 10 Mt session of the peace
commissioners az Paris today 1t is
tn opiuiou OF cabinet officers tina
there will he. They also believe that
final agreement will be reached to-
day and tomorrow by unofficial but
none the lees y binding cor
respondence between President
Day of the American commissioners
and Montero Rios, the head OF the
Spanish delegation. Another cabinet
meeting may be held today: as the ad-
ministration officials believe the criti-
cal period in the negotiations has ar
rived.
LONDON, pa Ceptrsl News dis
patch from Madrid says that Senior
Rios has informed his government that
he}Americans include possession of
the Seelee Archipelago with their
other islands.
PARIS, Nov. 26.-It may be stated on
the best authority that the Spanish ac-
cept $40, 900, 900 for the cession of the
Philippines, but under protest. A
joint meeting of the Spanish and Ame-
ricsn commissioners today is not pro
bable. The formal signing of the
papers in which Spain yields to the
American demands will occur on Mon
day.
1t is understood here that the
Americans have proposed TO the
Spaniards that tariff for revenue
only be established in the Philippines.
Spain wanted special trade privileges
The proposition OF the Americans
would mean an open door for all in the
Philippines and would put all nations
on an equal fooGing so far as trade is
concerned.

County Court.

In the county court the jury in the
case OF Crosby versus White returned
a verdict in favor of the plaintiff
Crosby was suing u 7. White for
5000 with interest from September,
1896, to the present date. The amount
was subscribed by White towards rais-
ing something like S., 900 for securing
the building of the Rio Grsnde, Sier-
ra Madre, and Pacific r. r. and
when the road was built he with
other subscribers refused to pay up,
hence the suit.
The judgment in this suit will cause
the others to pay.
This afternoon the court took up th e
case of Sloss against the Singer Sew
ing Machine Co. In which Sloss as
agent for the company seeks to re-
cover $75 which he claims is due him
as commissions on machines which he
has sold. The case WAS still on trial
when the paper went to press.

THE TEMPLE CASE.
The Mexican Government Agrees to
Surrender the Prisoner.

A Washington dispatch says: The
case of the American railroad conduc-
tor Temple. who has been held under
arrest in Mexico for killing
man on this side of the
line, has been satisfactorily adjusted
United Estates Minister ClsytOn has
reported to the state department. by
telegraph that the Mexican minister
for foreign .affairs had agreed to stop
further proceedings against Temple
under the Mexican law, and surrender
the man to che Arizona authorities on
extradition proceedings on Mr.. Clay
tons statement that he would be tried
in Arizona.
The United States government had
previously demanded Temples release
before the demand was made for his
tradition, in order to avoid recognizing
the Mexican claim of extra-territorial
jurisdiction, and the present outcome
is satisfactory in that regard.

SHOCKING ACCIDENT.
A Button Hook Destroyed a Chi1d's
Eye and Penetrated the Brain.

~..s' O-A~sA ~s sAAN ~ s~'.s'
The two year old son of j. A.. Caslin
met with shocking accident yester-
day afternoon, late, while romping
about the house with button hook in
his hand.
He tripped and fell ard in some un-
accountable manner the sharp end of
the button hook penetrated his left eye
cavity just above the eyebsll and was
driven in fully two inches by the force
of the fall; the hook reached the brain
and became entangled among the optic
nerves.
DR.. w. L. Baird was hastily called.
The child was entirely conscious, but
suffered terribly and it was necessary
to chioroform it before the shoe but
toner could be Withdrawn. 1t took the
united efforts of two persons to dis
lodge it and the sight of the eye was
completely destroyed.
DR.. Baird has small hopes of his pa
TENTS ultimate recovery although the
little one was resting quietly this
morning and in full possession of his
senses.
The physician thinks that the un-
for tunate accident should serve as q
warning to parents to keep dangerous
playthings out of the hands of their
small children.

MISSIONARIES
Are Threatened With Serious
Trouble in China.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-The navy
department received a dispatch this
morning announcing that hostilities
against American missionaries in the
neighborhood of Tien Tsin have
broken out again. A detachment of
marines was landed from the Boston

distur bance is or whether an actual
massacre has commenced.
The Boston is the only United States

which was recently there, has been
sent to Shanghai. No other ship will
be dispatched to the scene of the
troubles unless some extraordinary oc-
casiou for assistance shall arise.

With Regard To the Preva-
lence Of Plague In San
Francisco.
MYSTERIOUS DEATHS
In Chinatown Have Gradually
Became Known, And An
Epidemic Is
Feared.

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif, Nov. % -
Extraordinary efforts are being made
to suppress information regarding the
appearance OF disease supposed to be
the dreaded bubonio plague in China
town, but the public Is gradually learn
ing she facts.
The authorities refuse to discuss the
matter and the local papers have en-
tered into an agreement to suppress
the facts for the present at least. The
police, too, have been instructed to
keep the facts from the public.
The board of health has decided that
for the present 1t is for the benefit Of
the city to keep all persons who do not
live in the district out of the confines
of Chinatown.
In compliance with this rule po.
hcemau was last night stationed at
every avenue and street leading into
Chinatown and all persons were warn
ed that they entered that district at
their peril.
There have been a number of mys-
terious eaths In the Chinese quarters.
Orientsls have dropped off suddenly in
most cases having been sick only few
hours. This morning the health de-
psrtment is making an investigation,
with the result that several suspicious
cases were placed under quaran-
tine.
The city typhysiclans have reported that
they sr not certain as to the nature
OF the disease. Some think it is bubo-
mic plague and others think it is Asia
tic cholera.
With this alarming report the board
has declared quarantine which will
be made more stringent should the
mslady proved to be either cholera or
plague.
If the worst fears of the health Of
ficers are realized and the mysterious
deaths are found 10 be due to either
disease twill be extremely diff fi,ul,
to prevent an epidemic and to confine
the disease to sections in which the
Chinese live.
