VARIOUS ITEMS.

No date has been set by the manage ment of the New Haven road for the dedication of the new South station in Boston, notwithstanding the many statements to the contrary, The man agement would very much like to put it in Boston's stocking on Christmas eve, but in spite of all efforts the Chris tening will have to be deferred until New Years.
 Williamt c. Mitchell, postmaster at Poquetanock, a veteran of the 18th c. ", was stricken with paralysis Tues day forenoon, while attending the of flee. He was carried to his home in a helpless condition.
 Messrs. Charles Scribner's Sons have in the press the second part of F. F. Honey's book, First Lessons in Linear Perspective" It will be issued in com bination with Part 1, which appeared last March and will be published in a few weeks.
 Invitations have been issued by Ad- miral and Mrs. William T. Sampson for the marriage of the admiral s youngest daughter, Miss Olive Earring ton Sampson, to Henry Harrison Scott of San Francisco, at the Glen Ridge, N. J., Congregational church by the Rev. Frank J. Goodwin, pastor of the church, on Wednesday. January 4, at 8 p. m. After the wedding there will be a reception at the admiral's home in Clark street.
 J. D. Dewell received cable yester- day from the captain of the schooner General Merwin, stating that the vessel cleared on Wednesday from Barbadoes for New Orleans.
 Captain Kelsey of the schooner w. Wallace Ward writes that the schoon- CT is discharging her cargo of coal at Vera Cruz, and would probably clear next Monday for Pensacola where a cargo of phosphate rock will be board ed for New York.
 The schooner Lyman M. Law of the DeWell fleet, has just secured an excel lent charter. The vessel will load coal at Norfolk for Galveston, and return with cotton seed oil to New York. Warden Woodbridge denies the report that Dr, Lee is insane. It is probable that the story in regard to Lee, which had gained much prominence among his friends before being published, started from the insanity of Duff. Both were sentenced from New Haven, ard at about the same time. Duff will be remembered for the brutal murder of 1 his wife and mother-in-law. He was adjudged insane at the time of tne deed and on account escaped the gallC,ws. His present condition tears out the tpi- dence submitted at the trial

 The Connecticut Quarterly has now become a monthly magazine and it's name is now the Connecticut Magazine.

Trowbridge, and is accompanied by an admirable picture of the deceas- l ed. Other articles in this number are

They Were Showed In.

Mr.. and Mrs. Wisner and DR.. Manley
had a hard experience of it in the
mountains near Las Cruces last week.
The doctor was bound for Las Cruces
when he was invited by Mr.. Wisner to
accompany them up the mountain to
see the latter's claims. The party put
up at Van Patterns resort just as the
blizzard struck the country, and the
first thing they knew they
were showed in by the big drifts.
Then they were hard put to it, for
about the only food they had was ba-
con and hard tack, and the scarcity of
fuel compelled them to gather wood as
best they could to keep themselves
warm. 1t was two days before the par
ty could work their way out of the
place, and there was a feeling of gone
ness about their stomachs when they
struck civilization that made most any
sort of food palatable. Mrs. Wisner
never made a complaint, but stuck it
through and did much to help out and
encourage the rest. She is suffering
from a bad cold, but otherwise is in ex-
cellent spirits at the sanitarium.

held in the library rooms Saturday aft
ernoon.
The football game between the Indian
boys of the government schools at Albu-
querque and the school in this city,
will be played Saturday afternoon on
the grounds at the Brothers college.
DR.. Harroun remarked this morning
that he did not believe there has been a
winter like this for the last II years, on
account of the depth of the snow and
the continued cold.
The ladies of the W. B. T. request
that all fancy articles furnished for the
Christmas sale be sent to the library
rooms on Saturday morning a 10 o'clock.
The sale will begin at $3.50 that after
loon.
Yesterday the thermometer at the local
weather bureau registered as follows:
Maximum temperature, "a degrees, at
3:15 p. M; minimum, s degrees, at

Regular meeting of the Guild will be
held tomorrow, Friday, afternoon at
2:30, at the residence of Mrs. Albert
Call, on lower San Francisco street.
| This will be a business meeting and a
prompt and full attendance is earnestly
desired. There will also be a meeting
of the teachers of the Sunday school at
the same time and place.
A change of time is expected on the
D. & r. G. by next Sunday, although
nothing is actually certain. The report
ed change will bring the south bound
train in here at 4ep. M, something like
the former time of it's arrival. Whether
the time of leaving Denver will be
changed is not known, but rs railroad
men say the time IS pretty well squeezed
now to get through by schedule, it is
believed that the hourof departure from
Denver will be correspondingly earlier.
A novelty has been introduced into
local business circles in the shape of the
overhead cash system which has been
placed in Walkers store. BY this ar
rangement all chasing and segregation
of underwear on the part of clerks to
reach the cash drawer from the utter
most parts of the store and get back again
in three seconds or a fraction thereof,
are avoided. All a clerk has to do when
he takes a customers money and wants
to make the change is to reach up to
the carrier box place the money therein,
pull a lever, and presto, away shoots the
box over the wires to the man or girl at
the cash drawer where the necessary
change is quickly made; another lever is
pulled and away shoots the box back to
the party waiting for it. A number OF
girls who were in watching the show
this morning thought it was just too
beautiful for anything.

The. TAOS TROUBLES.
Sheriff Trujillo Still Alive, Although Shot
in Three Places-First Reports Great
ly Exaggerated-0rde Restored
and All Ouiet,

The Taos shooting continues to
be the subject of conversation
on the streets, and many wild
rumors are aloat concerning the
situation al hat place. AS to the
reports of more rioting, the New MeXi-
can is in a position to state that there is
no truth in them. The men on the Den
yer & Rio Grande train, who arrived in
this city last night, stated hat at EN-
budo there was some excitement over
the shooting of Sheriff Trujillo, but that
everybody scoffed at the idea that any
thing more serious than had already
happened would result.
Trujillo vas shot in three places,
through the face, behind the nose,
through the head, the bullet entering
under the eye and coming out near the
base of the skull, and the third bullet
passing through the body Immediately
above the lungs. Trujillo was alive this
morning and stood a good chance of re-
covering.
From a letter received in town this
morning it was learned that the New
MeXican's account of the n in
which the shooting occurred and its
cause, vas substantially correct. The
assertions made that young Clifford did
the shooting are misleading, since the
shots fired by Trujillo at the young man
were answered by three shots from as
many different quarters almost stimuli
~taneously, all of which took effect; that
Clifford fired a shot in self-defense is
doubtful.
There is no doubt, judging from the
reports received today, hat the first
news received in this city to the effect
that the lives of all Americans in the
town of Taos were in danger, were very
much exaggerated. The friends of the
wounded sheriff have prosecuted a Wig
liant search for young Clifford, but they
have made no threats against the lives
of others. Deputy United States Mar
shall Sheridan is on the grounds, and re-
ports are to the effect that he has been
successful in restoring order, and h a
no further trouble is anticipated.

Killed bv a Fall.

w. H. Wilmington, of Las Vegas, fell
Tuesday, from the roof of the
new Brown-Manzanares building
and died in two hours there
after from his injuries. He was a
carpenter, and a slipping timber pre-
cipitated him three stories to the
ground, crushing his skull at the base
of the brain. Wilmington was go years
old, a member of the G. A. r. and Of
the Junior Mechanics, and came from
Michigan in 1879. He was single.

Sheriff Kinsell had u more or less
novel experience while on his southern
trip. He went to chihuahua on private
business, and struck the town at the
same time that the cold wave did and
almost froze. He put up at the Palacio,
only to find that in Mexico there is prac-
tically no provision made for heating, as
cold weather is q rarity in that climate,
and the visitor almost had to 60 to bed
to keep warm. On his return north to
the border, his train was five hours late
because of a freight wreck, and Ri Paso
was found to be so crowded that the
sheriff had to hunt over town for two
hours to find a place to sleep, and then
it was one bed for four men. The
sheriff found Ell Paso a remarkably fast
growing city, and says he wouldn't OBJ
iect to living there. He heard nothing
of FL Senior Don Cano, whom be believes
struck out this time in the direction OF
Nogales, and thence into Sonora.
Ira Moore, who has been employed in
the surveyor generals Office in this city
for the past three months, received an
order transferring him to Cheyenne,
Wyo.. this morning, and he leaves to-
night for the north. MI. Moore's home
is in Cheyenne and the change is a
pleasant transfer for him.
