Amos Cole, who will play the part OF
defendant in one of the Dover bank
cases which is to come before the
court, was the first witness to testify
in the case this morning. He was ex
amined. by Mr.. Bird, who asked him
concerning an application he made to
the Baltimore Building Loan Associa-
tion for $500.
Cole said that he did make applica-
ton on the strength Of a letter received
from Senator Kenney. He went 10
Boggs and got the money in cash and
gave Boggs a bond for $3.50.
William Anderson, the philadelphia
contractor, who built the fifty-one
houses in Philadelphia for Boggs, was

of the money for the construction OF
the ouses. He said that an OF the
checks he received FOR the houses be
longed to william E. Cotter. witnesses
would not take Cotter's checks and
Kenney's were given instead.
"Why wouldn't you take Cotter's
checks?" asked MIR. Bird.
Because l couldn't get the money on
them until they were collected"

relaxation of the common law rule as
to incompetency both by statutes and
by judicial legislation. So that to-day
in England and in nearly every state In
this country there is no incompetency
on account OF conviction OF any infa-
nous crime. That the Federal Legis-
lature recognized this modern rule ap-
pears from the provisions in section 81
S92 and section 5,393 OF the Revised
Statutes, wherein incompetency to tes-
.tify is made a specific part OF the pun
ishment for perjury and subornation Of
perjury, and for these crimes alone, Of
all offenses prescribed in the chapter
on crimes, is such punishment inflicted.
Applying the rule OF statutory con-
struction, that no word in a statute
shall be he'd supernuous or unneces-
sary, it must follow that the Federal
Congress did not consider that incom-
potency attached under the modern
rule even to perjury. Furthermore,
by the insertion specifically of this pen
atty there was an evident belief on the
part of the Congress that such penalty
did not attach to the other crimes on
the schedule. The implication in re-
gard to section 5,44O is cyan stronger,
from the fact that the Legislature OF a
subsequent date amended it and did not
at that time attach any such terrible
penalty as part OF the punishment for
violation of its provisions.
EVIDENCE THIS MORNING.
Senator Kenney took the stand this
morning to tell the jury of a slight mis-
take that he made on Friday in giving
testimony regarding the sale OF the
stock of the Baltimore Building Loan
sociation. He said that he testified that
the money was $500, instead he was in
formed by the secretary that It was
sl75.

RIO ARRIBA PROSPERING.
Good Prices for Grain and Stock, Prospects
for Fine Crops and Plenty Of Water As
sure Good Times for the People,

Don Luis NJ. Ortiz. of Chamita, Il well
known and respected citizen of Rio Ar
riba county, has been in the city for
several days visiting relatives and on
business. Mr.. Ortiz is well posted On
the conditions and resource of Rio Ar
riba county and to a representative OF
the New MEXICAN he said: The peo-
pie of Rio Arriba county are prosperous
and c%ontented. Business is better than
it has been for many years and collec-
lions have been very good. Spring
blowing has already commenced in the
Rio Grande valley and a very large
acreage of wheat, oats and beans is be-
ing put in. There have been some good
rains in the valley and the ground Is in
good condition for planting. Good
prices are are being realized for cereals,
a fanega of wheat brings 5 $50, a fanega
of corn the anne price and a fanega OF
beans is worth $6. Lambs for August
delivery are held at about ~ and good
ewes at from $2.75 to $500, the highest
prices yet asked. Goats are quoted at
from re to $2.50 and none of this stock
is easy to get. Calves are worth $12 and
yearlings $15. I expect a good fruit
crop this season. 1t will not be as big a
crop as u section produced last year,
but the fruit will be larger and OF su-
perior quality. There is so far plenty
of water in the Rio Grande and our
bitches are running a full supply of
water. Indeed l look for Il continual
tion of the prosperous times of the past
year"

MINOR CITY TOPICS.

Great thing for the range and for cat
tie and sheep hereabouts, this snow to-
day.
L. S. weather bureau forecast for New
Mexico: Generally fair tonight and
Friday.
The collector of San Juan county has
so far failed to remit for his collections
for January to the territorial treasurer.
The beautiful snow, that fell today, is
a good thing for the farmer and orchard
list, but the average pedestrian did not
view it with much favor.
Santa Fe was visited with q genuine
blessing last night in the form of a
beautiful snow and rain. 1t was worth
thousands of dollars to the numerous
owners of orchards and gardens in this
locality.
As the city council fixed the compen-
F~sation of the city clerk for the coming
year at $40 per month, there promises
to be quite a contest over the nomina-
ton to that office at the coming city
election.
The special meetings at the st. Johns
M. E. church are increasing in interest.
DR.. Morrison's able addresses are max
ing much concern. Services tonight at
1880 o'clock conducted by DR.. Morrison.
At a consultation of leading Democrats
of the city a few days ago, it was re.
solved to await the action of the Repub-
leans in putting up a city ticket and
then to select good business men. If the
Democrats can carry out this plan, the
city campaign will be quite exciting.

is less than that given in comparison
first above noted. This demonstrates
the decrease in the difference between the

The thermal conditions, especially in

PEC0S VALLEY RAILROAD EXTENSION,
Amarillo, Tex, to Be the Eastern Terminus
Work to Begin at Once and Roswell
Reached This Year.

Mr.. Percy H%agerman. connected with
the various Hagerman enterprises in
the Pecos valley, A. c. Campbell, Esq,
solicitor for the Pecos Valley railroad,
and J. S. McBeth, Esq, of Denver, at
torney for the Mercantile Trust com
pany, were in the city today. The party
is ell route from New York to Socorro,
where Messrs. Campbell and McBeth
will appear before Judge Hamilton of
the court of the Fifth judicial districtin
connection with the receivership Of the
Pecos Valley railroad. 1t is understood
that all arrangements are now being
made to take the road out of the hands
of the receiver, Mr.. e. o. Faulkner and
place 1t again under the control of the
stockholders.
Construction on the Pecos Valley &
Northeastern railway will commence
from Amarillo in place of from Wash
burn and that very soon, indeed as quick
ly as material can be assembled at Anna
rillo. The latter place is an important
SudUlOl VII bUc OutUll-Id CluC. u ~
Gulf. From TERRA Amarillo to Wash
| burn, the distance is IA miles and at the
latter place connection with Gulf, Colo
| RADIO & Santa Fe will be made. There
is no doubt but that work will be pushed
and that Roswell will be reached before
| the end of the present year.
Messrs. Hagerman and Campbell, after
finishing their business at Socorro, will
proceed Immediately to Eddy, where
| meetings of the boards of directors OF
the Pecos Valley Railway company will
be held and all preliminary and neces-
| sary business, looking toward the i'm
| mediate construction of the Pecos Val
| ley extension, will be attended to.
The necessary papers for the incor-
poration of the Pecos 4 Texas North
ern railway in Texas are being
drawn up and will be filed with the sec
rotary of state at Austin, within a few
days, thus enabling the company to &c
ahead under the Texas corporation law
as part of the new road is located in the
state of Texas.
Mr.. j. j. Hagerman, president, ant
Mr.. E.. 0. Faulkner, general manager o.
the Pecos Valley & Northwestern rail
way, are still in the east, looking afte'
contracts and other necessary matter
in connection with the building of thu
road. The surveys have been completed
and the maps, p%rofles and location line
are now being examined and as soon a
approved and as sOOn as material in suf
icient quantities can be had, activ'
work will be the order of the day. |
has been determined that Amarillo, in
stead of Washburn, will be the eastern
terminus and junction of the road.

The Mutual Building & Loan associa'
tion held a meeting last night, when the
old board of directors was reelected.
and the issuing of a new series OF stock
was considered. That matter will prob
ably be determined at the meeting to
be held on March %. The regular board
meeting will occur tonight at the Office
of the secretary.
The fact that several important min
ing deals have recently been consum-
mated at Santa Fe and several more are
pending here ought to be a sufficient
hint to the wise that a properly organ

profitable undertaking at the political

New Mexico lies at the point where the
Rocky mountains lose that characteristic
individuality which they have preserved
ss q distinctive feature from within the
ARCTIC circle TO Colorado and almost
throughout that state. Heretofore they
have been q range OF q broad series OF
parallel ranges exhibiting lofty peaks
and passes at attitudes 80 great as to lie
further skyward than many vaunted al
pine summits. But when the chain has
reached its final great effort of elvation
In Pixies Peak it rapidly loses its massive
character and with astonishing rapidlty
sinks to rolling hills and spreads out on
mesas of altitude still great but of even
and gentle slope. /.
Viewed by the aid of its contours Of
altitude New Mexico appears az q plain
raised to the height of $4,000 feet, broken
but by two systems of greater elevations
and interrupted by lesser ones only on
the eastern and southern faces. Nearly
t%hree.fourths of the territory is in
Guided within the contour of 5000
feet. All that part of the territory
which lies above the 1000 feet con
tour is rugged mountains of PERCEPTIONS
slope and deeply scored face. Their oil
matic purpose is to extract the rain from
the atmosphere for the benefit of the
lower levels; they do more than this, for
the rain carries away the d~esintegratipg
rock to enrich the plateau and the valley
beneath. Arizona faces the prevailing
humid wind and opposes to it a flight OF
| steps; New Mexico is almost entirely on
the leeward side Of the mountain ranges
and exposes a minimum of bluff surface
to the wind. Hence arise different oil
matic conditions.
The elevation of the barometer cisterE
of the weather bureau station at Sants

A resume of the records for ~ year
shows that great extremes in temperatur.
are seldom reached, the lowest recorded
tenn perature being ID degrees below zero
In January, 1883, and the highest So il
July, 1879, in Santa Fee.
During the present decade the highest
absolute temperature has not exceeded
80 degrees, and in a comparison of these
Temperatures with extremes of the more
humid sections Of the eastern states ant
the Mississippi valley the extreme dry

the heat experienced by the human bod!
is some 10 to IL degrees less than tina

Daring Hold Ups at Gallup.

A special from Gallup, dated Wednes-
day, says: Four men, two medium
sized, two rather tall, with handker-
chiefs tied over their faces, entered
Kitchen 4 Kennedy's saloon here at
1O:4O last night, with a brace of revolv-
ers in the hands of each, and held up
the entire house. The gambling tables
and saloon cash drawer were relieved of
about $500.
An attempt was made to force Peter
Kitchen to open the safe, but he pre-
tended that his partner, Mr.. Kennedy,
alone knew the combination.
After driving everybody from the
street into the saloon, the desperadoes
took all the valuables that each one had.
A good sized crowd was present in the
saloon. Then they escaped by the back
door after firing off their pistols to scare
off possible pursuit, and ran to a point
near town where their horses were
staked. Some of those robbed feel GER
tain they recognized one'of the robbers.
They are now being tracked by Indian
trailerS.
