the dispensing of crowds by police and
troops. tbut there was little damage
done either to property Or to persons.
Everything IS quiet this morning.

Many Costly improvements
Are About To Be Made.
"A NEW POST OFFICE

Perfect Sanitary System Are Also
To Be Established.

progress so long exhibited by this city

municipal improvements.

feet of minimizing the prospect of con-
tsgious diseases gaining q foothold.
Chief among the municipal improve
modern, up-tO-date system OF water
works, which will cost large sum of
money and greatly enhance the value
of property on the other side.
The state of chihuahua will contrib
ute 5000, 900 as bonus to the man who
establishes the plant, and the city will
defray the balance of the expense.
This will doubtless mean q complete
Sc werage system as we'll as innumer-
go hand in hand. Hon. Felix Martinez.
| it is understood, has been allowed ten
days to Investigate and report on the
price of the plant and he will dou btless
secure the franchise, which will be
worth some money. Since coming to
El Paso, Mr.. Martinez has invested in
valuable real estate on both sides the
river aud has the interest of each of
the twin cities at heart.
In addition to this improvement six
garbage carts with force
of nine men and mules sufi

NEW POST OFFICE.
The federal government will also do
little improving in JusreZ within the
next few months, for the present post

are to be raised Immediately and
enough mail carts are to be purchased
to meet all trains as they arrive on this

readily be seen that Juarez, as well as

The Portland & Caps Elizabeth rail

its line by running branch road from

over Grand avenue to. Old Orohara.
Monday afternoon an informal hearing
was held in Porter's hall by tho citizens
of Old Orchard to consider the question
of approval of this project by, it's munich.
pal officers. A delegation of the Portland
electric road was present and full dis.
cussion of the matter was had with the
unanimous result that Old Orchard
wants the road to come in and approves
in general terms of the routs proposed.
The proposition is to build the road in
season for next years business and to
make it an all the year road. While the
Cape Elizabeth road petitions for the ap-
prevail of the route the party really behind
the project is the Portland Electric rail-
road company, by which the Cape road
Is now owned. This of itself is a suffic-
lent guarantee that the proposed road viii
