Train.

The Denver & Rio Grande mixed
freight and passenger train that left
here yesterday forenoon at Ills o'clock
met with a bad accident in the after

bridge when the structure CAV way
and the freight cars went down 10 feet
to the river. The baggage car went
partly down, while the passenger coach
kept the track. The passengers were
considerably Jared. Census Supervisor
Pedro Sanchez, one Of the passengers,
received a painful confusion Of the
chest, and had a leg badly bruised. The
other passengers escaped with slight
bruises, and one of the trainmen was
hurt. The wrecking crew at Alamosa
was telegraphed for, and is busy to-day
clearing away the wreckage and build
ing a temporary bridge so that the train
due here yesterday afternoon can cross.
The railroad officials in this city re-
ceived no report of the wreck up to

Postoface Suggestions.

Every Christmas thousands of pack
ages go to the dead-letter office or are
delayed. To avoid this place your name
and address on a card inside Of each
package. Put the word from" before
the name. Be careful to tie or wrap the
parcel SO the wrapper and address can
not tear off and get lost. Don't use thin
paper for wrapping. See that enough
stamps are on the package. If valuable,
register it. A special delivery stamp
on a package is almost as good as reg
istry, and gives the boys a chance to
pick up a little extra compensation. 1t
also adds to the dignity and style by
having the parcel delivered by special
carrier Immediately upon its arrival in
the city.
Packages of merchandise containing
no other writing than card mentioned
above, l cent an ounce Books, il so
designated on the wrapper, 1 cent for 2
ounces. Registration fee for valuable
packages, 5 cents.

The announcement of Mr.. John.
A. Cannon tor county Treasurer is
not surprise, although little la
ter than that of the other candi-
dates. Mr.. Cannon has a very
strong following of friends in
Greenville and the county, who
have been hoping for some time
that he would decide to enter the
lists, and it will be generally con-
coded that he will prove Il strong
candidate. In the matter of fitness
for the office it would be hard to
find a better qualified man.
His ubusiness habits and train
ing, his experience and tried prob
ity in positions of high trust, and
the confidence of the people of the
county, all combine to make him
an aspirant whose claims are wor-
thy of the highest consideration,
to say nothing of his personal pop
ularity, in which respect he is full
ly the equal of any man now Offer
ing,for the position. In making up
a state the conscientious and public
spirited voter will be safe in plac-
ing upon it the name of ~ r John

Opera House In Sight.


There is at last chance fol-
Greenville TO have what has SC
long and vainly been wished for-a
theatre.
The need for such n building
is not only necessity, but a stand,
ing reproach to the city. Every
description of Greenville, whether
published at home or abroad,
winds up with some humiliating al.
fusion to its theatreless condition.
Plan after plan has been consider
cd and one by one abandoned for
various reasons, and the whole
community will be glad to know
that at at last, after so many dis
appointments, definite steps are to
be taken toward the realization of
the object so long desired. Mr..
T. M. Searles, of Vicksburg, a
most experienced and successful
protector of such enterprises, Wis
tied Greenville this week, and LAID
before the Board of Trade the
plans and specifications for an opera
house similar to the one now being
built in Vicksburg. His represen-
tations gave general satisfaction,
and were so favorably considered
by the Board and others to whom
they were submitted, that a meet
ing of citizens interested will be
held at the Y. M. H. A. hall on
Monday night, the 23rd, to hear
the proposition of Mr.. SearIes and
take steps necessary to give him
the assistance he requires. Mr..
Searles' original offer was to erect
a building to be used exclusively
for a theatre, but it was suggested
that combined hotel and opera
house would probably meet with
more general favor, as Greenville's
need of one is as great as OF the
other. While Mr., Searles repre-
sents the firm of johnson &
Searles, theatrical architects and
builders, their faciliti"" 49,.
s.,,;, .-.vo Tor per-
Ing the work of building the
proposed combination structure
are of the best, and the task would
readily be undertaken by them
and perfect satisfaction guaranteed,
should it be decided upon instead
of the single theatre building.
The new theatre, if erected. will be
contracted for to the most minute
details. 1t will be frstclass in every
respect, not only in construction,
but in furnishing, stage arrange
ment, steam heating, lighting, and
all the appointments of q first class
city theatre. Even the furnishing
and fitting of the dressing rooms
is provided for in the specifications.
AS Mr.. Searles expresses 1t.
"When the theatre leaves the con-
tractors hands all that will be nee
essary will be bring on your COM
pany, turn on your lights and
raise the curtain Every citizen
of Greenville interested in the
matter land who is not0 should
attend the meeting of Monday
night at the Y, NJ. H. A. hall.
