City Council.

Saturday night the city council,
upon special call, met at the usual
hour with the mayor presiding, and
all aldermen present.
After roll call Mayor Msgoffin stated
to the council that the call was for the
purpose of vesting power in himself to
close the deal with the Fire Elk.
tinguisher company OF Chicago for a
new chemical engine.
This matter was brought up at the
last meeting and discussed. and it was
decided to buy it, but no time was set
for the signing of the contract.
The mayor stated that the company
had extended the time of delivery from
80 to $50 days and that they would
accept city scrip bearing per cent.
On motion of Alderman Clifford the
proposal OF the Fire Extinguisher COM
pany was accepted and the mayor Civ
en- the utbority to sign the contract
with Geo. G. Hutchings, who is here
representing the company. The motion
was carried unanimously.
Mayor Msgoffin then read q commu-
nicatiOn from the South western Tele-
phone and Telegraph company, asking
permission to reconstruct their wiri' g
system in Ell Paso. Mayor Msgoffiu
said he had talked to Mr.. Hood, the
local manager, and it seems that they
wish to improve their property in the
city and to change the position of their
poles from the cutters where they now
are to the edge of the sidewalk. The
telephone people have agreed to let
the city attach to their poles police
and fire alarm boxes and wires provid-
ed the telephone company has charge
of putting them up, so as not to inter
fere with their own lines.
Mayor Magoffin, stated that the
matter will come up Thursday night.
The horseshoe bend question, of a
canal to change the course of the RI
yer, was brought up, and the mayor
told the council that it was generally
agreed between himself and the coun-
ty commissioners court that the city
would pay three tenths of the amount
necessary and the county would pay
two-tenths. He thought the Mexican
government would pay half. No &C.
ton was taken on these matters, as
the call was only for the purpose of
buying a chemical engine, SO they ad-
journed TO Thursday night.

There is a good deal of talk anon,

There is good deal of talk among
our citizens about spending the sum-
mer away from Ell Paso this year; it is
strange why our .citizens will go
through fire to get to the California
coast, when they can go only a hundred
miles up on the White Oaks line to
Alamogordo. where they have to wear
heavy coat as soon as evening
comes. The reporter. calling at the
general offices for information about
the Sunday excursion trains, was in
formed that on every Sunday an excur-
sion rate would be put on for those
VII hins to make the trip to the end on
the White Oaks line. The first of these
on the 10Th inst. was
a very successful one. After the line
gets into the mountains the time limit
of tickets will be extended. The rate
on these Sunday excursions is $3.50.
The train leaves Ell Paso at 7:45 q. M,
in the evening st season
able hour.

the fact that until a year or more sgo
there was George Bruce living in Ell

PROGRAMME AT ALBANY.
sTATR POLICE BILL, TAT ELECTION
BILL, PURE BEER BILL.

General Scope of the Proposed Police and
Election Measures-Republican LeGisla-
tors do Not Intend to Amend the
BRines Law Except to Strengthen IL.
Chairman odell Of the Republican State Com-
mittee was at his desk in the Fifth Avenue
Hotel all day yesterday. and q number Of up
State legislators called on him TO talk the sit
uatlon over. The corridor Of the hotel was
filled with statesmen during the day. and some
OF the measures which will be introduced at
Albany this winter we're discussed. Among
the measures which Will 60 before the
lawmakers. according TO the present indlca-
tions, there will be n State oonstabulnry bill. q
pure beer measure. and one providing for q
State Board OF Election Commissioners. 1t
was evident that the lawmakers are in no
temper TO make changes OF Importance in the
liquor tax law. The Republicans feel that as
this law was attacked vigorously by the Demo-
cratic campaigners they are justified In regard
ing the result Of the election as an Endorsement
OF the measure. Chairman Odell takes this
view of the situation. and oil of the Republic
cans who were In town yesterday agree with
him. Whatever amendments to the Rainea
law are introduced will be OF a nature to
strengthen rather than weaken its provisions.
The object OF the State Constabulary law will
be TO purify the police departments and sys-
tematize the work Of the peace officers through
out the state. It's details nave not been settled
upon as yet. At present the gentlemen inter-
ested In it have In view a measure which shall
benefit the rural districts as we'll as the centres
OF population. The measure will not be pre-
pared In a hurry, and every care will be taken
to make It as near perfect as it can be. The
proposition to Dass q pure beer bill has met the
approval OF Republicans In all parts OF the
State.
Senator John Rainees Election bill which
was presented at the special session OF the
Legislature provides for a bipartisan State
Election. Commission OF four members app
pointed by the Governor for five years each on
recommendation ofthe State committees OF the
two great parties. The Secretary OF the COM
mission is to be the State supervisor OF
Elections. and county boards composed
Board. will have charge Of the election work.
Superintendent McCullagh's work here will he
done by an official to be known as the Special
Deputy State Supervisor OF Elections. Repub-
Leans everywhere recognize the great value OF
the work done by McCullagh and his men
In the last election in this city. and feel
that the department proved lite worth. The
proposed legislation. 1t was said yesterday.
would be of such a character that II would be
impossible under 1t to colombo voters in this
city.
The details OF the proposed measures are
forming, and by the time that the Legislature
gets ready for business the bills will be well in
hand.

The Pennsylvania Railroad Decides Not to
Cut Rates to P%ittsburR.

PHILADELPHIA. Nov. 1o.-The Pennsylvania
Railroad management intends TO ignore the
cut in rates to be established by the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Tomorrow OF $1.50 in the
through fare between Pittsburg and New
York. The cut is apparently causing the
Pennsylvania officials little concern. 1t is their
policy TO improve the service and shorten the
speed OF their through trains regardless OF
the coinIetltlon OF u loWer rate OF iare.
agent Of the Pennsylvania Railroad. made this
statement to-day:
not only very much greater, but their service
Is not like ours. The time consumed in making
inc trip ls between four aud live hours greater
than by the PENNSYLVANIA Railroad. We think
1t will only require a very brief time to demon
strate to the Baltimore and Ohio officials the
such rates in effect. and that they will be with
drawn in the interest Of their own revenues, as
they can never hope TO seriously affect the
business OF the Pennsylvania Railroad by the
use OF such unreasonable rateA."

HAS LOST HIS IDENTITY.
A Man in Bingharnton State Hospital Who
Doesn't Know HIS Name or Residence.

B~rEaHAMToN. Nov. 19.-There is a case Of
lost identity at the Binghamton State Hospital
which is p~uzzling the doctors OF that institu-
ton. Some time ago the police of this city
found a well-dressed man about so years Of
are wandering about the streets. He could not
tell his name or residence and there was no
means OF Identification on his clothing. He
was committed to the Binghamton State Hos
pital. Several weeks ago n Japanese juggler
was entertaining the several hundred patients
at the Opera House with some astonishing
tricks, when the individual. who had been
named John Warner by the, hospital spthori-
ties, sprang to his feet, declaring that he
could Guido them. The attendants endeav-
ored to quiet him. but the juggler invited him
to the stage. where Warner performed feats OF
oecromancy surprising anything attempted by
the Japanese. and astounding the doctors. 1t
was evident that he was a professional OF the
first class. and last evening he gave an exhibi-
ton at the Opera House. and. unaided, worked
out tricks that were little short OF miracles.
Who he + or where he came from he cannot
and II. is thought he belongs there. He is a
man of intelligence and perfectly sane. his only
faut being loss Of memory.
