LIFE in NEW MEXICO.
DR.. w. B. Henwood, of Alamogordo,
in the City, and Speaks of the
Country's Advantages.

DIR. w. p. Henwood, formerly of
this city, who has been in Alamogordo,
New Mexico, since last March, is in the
city, and speaks in glowing terms of
the great country now being devel-
oped In that region. Several Scranton
capitalists are interested in manufac-
turing interests there, among whom
are c. F. Davidson, Major j. w. Oak
ford, F. L. Peck and Mr.. Britain, Of
Tobyhanna.
The above gentlemen are interested
in the Alamogordo Lumber company.
and other industries in course OF de-
velopment there by the Alamogordo
Improvement company and the Ala
mogordo and Sacramento Mountain
railway. Along the line of this rail-
road beautiful scenery abounds The
branch was constructed for the pur-
pose of taking out the lumber.
The lumber mills at Alamogordo are
constructed to meet the requirements
of the company and are supplied with
the latest improved machinery. The
district is also noted for the excellent
quality of copper ore mined there.
When Dr. Henwood went to Alamo
Gordo the population was very small,
but now it is estimated at between
eleven and twelve hundred. A $4,000
depot has been erected on the White
Oak branch of the FL Paso and North
eastern railroad, and recently a coun-
ty seat was established, court organ
lied and legal business is now being
carried on.
The town is supplied with water
mains six inches in diameter from the
Alamogordo canyon, a distance Of six
miles, and the hotel facilities of the
town are excellent A summer resort
known as Cloud Croft was recently
opened, which is located on the Sac
ramento mountain, 5000 feet above
the level of the sea.
The prospects for mining are eX-
ceedingly bright and Colorado people
are getting control of large tracts of
land. The potatoes and fruit crops are
abundant.
Alamogordo is 6,400 feet above the
sea level The air is dry and eXhili-
arating and the country is unsurpassed
for hunting. Elack tail deer. wild
turkeys, quail and rabbits abound in
large numbers.
C.. d. Simpson and T. II. Watkins
are interested in coal mining at Sal
ado, eiGhty-six miles from Alamogor-
do. and the Ei Paso and Northeastern
Railroad company is now construct
ing a railroad connecting the coal
fields with the lumber region.
Many former residents of this VIC
unity are located in this section OF
New Mexico, and DIR. Henwood eX-
poets to leave here today with his
wife and daughtcr for his new home
The trip will consume about four
days and is made by way of Chicago
| st. Louis, Kansas City and El Paso.

NAMES ARE WITHHELD.
Merchants to Be Boycotted Are Not
Yet Officially Announced at
Strikers Headquarters.

The executive committee of the
Building Trades council refused yes
terday to give out the names Of the
has been declared. They say they will
not do so until the printed lists and
stick labels, which are now being
printed, are ready.
The strikers are daily bringing in
reports of merchants against whom
grievances exist. AS a result of this
it was given out that several more
names had been placed on the list.
An evening paper last night print
ed a statement to the effect that the
Tribune had stated in it's yesterday
mornings issue that whoever opposes
even by word the principles advocat-
ed by the strikers will be adjudged an
enemy by them and bOycotted. Bust
ness Agent John A. Price was quoted
as saying that this was a covert at
tempt to iniure the trades unions. 1t
was also stated that the statement
was without truth.
For the benefit of our esteemed con-
temporary and Mr.. Price we will give
the facts in the case. In the first
place, The Tribune did not say "who-
ever" but did say "all those mer-
chants who have been heard to ex-
press their opinions as being against
the strikers are also to be boycotted' -
In the second place this statement
was given to a Tribune man by ]. f
Hammis, a member of the executive
committee Of the Trades council, and
George Osman, a member of the press
con,poIttee whose SnpCial buSineSS is
to give out authoritative statements
to the press.
Nothing further is now said of this
conference said to be asked for by
certain members of the Builders Ex,
change. The members of that body
are exceedingly non-committal on the
subject of the boycott. They still re,
main perfectly firm, however, and as
fully determined to- fight it out to the
bitter end as ever.

cises-Many Present.

MELVIN WANTS TO KNOW.
Believes the D. G. H. Has Encroached
on CITY Property.

Select Councilman Thomas c. Mel
win, of the Eighth ward, is anxious
to know by what right the Delaware
and Hudson company is occupying
land dedicated to the city for Centre
street and Oak street and Thursday
night introduced the following resolu-
tion in select council, which was ap-
proved:
directing the city engineer to re-
port to council whether or not Centre
street, between Franklin avenue and
Lackawanna river has been decided to
and accepted by the city, and, if so,
whether at any point it has been en-
croached upon; Also whether Oak
street, between Linden street and Cen
tire street, was decided to and accepted
by the city. and whether or not it has
been enCroached upon"
Mr.. Melvin says that Centre street
he is sure was dedicated to the use
Of the city all the way to the river,
but the Delaware and Hudson COM
| pany, without permission so far as he
knows, has laid it's tracks and built
| part of its station on that street and
is using Oak street for a freight yard.
If they are doing all this without
warrant he wants to know.

ATLANTIC LEAGUE
WILL BE DISBANDED
LAST GAMES OF THE SEASON TO
BE PLAYED TODAY,
Five of Wilkes -Barre's Players Have
Been Sold to Kansas City and Four
of Richmond's Disposed of-The
Teams Will Be Disbanded and
Players Permitted to Sign Where
They Please-Coughlin Is to Join
the Senators at Once.

The Atlantic League Cf base ball
clubs will be disbanded tonight, after
most disastrous season. The major
ity of the good players belonging to
the different clubs have already been
sold to National and Western league
teams and what promised to be one
Of the best minor organizations in the
country proved a frost from the begin
ming.
Up to July the different teams
managed to keep together by selling
their best players and playing pugil-
istic attractions and other freaks, but
the death knell of the league was
sounded when The Tribune exclusive
~ announced the disbandment of the
Scranton club on July s.
The league was re-organizad with
six clubs, Paterson being dropped. and
an effort was made to play the season
out, but the poor attendance and 9TH
er causes finally terminated the
leagues usefulness, and yesterday
Wilkes Barre took the initiative by
dsposing of six of their best players
to Kansas City.
MANNING AFTER PLAYERS.
James II. Manning, president of the
Kansas City club, who has been in
the east searching for players. close
a deal with the Wilkes Barre direc-
tors for the purchase Of Pitchers Pat
ton and Jimeson, Catcher Gonding,
Second Baseman Burns, Outfielder
Halligan and Shortstop Clymer. with
the privilege of securing all the 9TH
er players who are not disposed Of by
the directors
Manager and First Baseman Goeck-
ell, who is not reserved. may sign with
some National league team, as he is
wanted by several clubs, but it is
doubtful, and he will probably resume
his law practice. while Voorhees,, Rich
ter, Goodwin and Odwell will be signed
by other clubs, as negotiations are
under way for all Of them.
Third Baseman Coughln, who was
purchased by Washington some time
ago. will join the Senators at once,
and supplant AthertOn, formerly of
Wilkes-B Barre.
Pitcher Patton will report at once
to Kansas City and the remainder of
the players purchased are given un-
til Aug. 13 to report.
RICHMOND TOO.
Richmond has disposed OF Left
Fielder Ralph Seybold to Cincinnati
and Second Baseman Dolan to PEila.
delphia. Pitcher Bishop and Catcher
Steelman have also been sold. but tc
whom could not be learned last night
The players of the other clubs VIZ
undoubtedly all be released and per-
mitted to sign where they please.
There has been a lack of harmony
in the management of the Wilkes.
Farrc club. President Stcsmaier said
tonight that he knew nothing about
| the Manning deal. The negotiations
Were carried on through a majority
| of the board of directors.
Managing Director Reddington SAID
| tonight: "The Wilkes-Rarr club viii

| players have been sold to Kansas
City We shall make no attempt tC
get new men in their places"

THE WEST MINsTRELS.
They Gave a Fine Entertainment at
the Lyceum.

William II. Vests minstrel company
appeared at the Lyceum theater last
night and gave an excellent entertain
ment before large audience. The
West minstrels follow the usual lines
and there is only one radical depart
ure, the travesty on "Cyrano de Ber-
gerac," entitled "Sir Andy de Bric-a-
Brac," in which the roles of Sir Andy
and Roxy Anne were sustained by Car
roll Johnson and Henry Rice respec-
lively. The latter is one of the best
female impersonators seen in Scran-
ton for some time.
The musical gem of the opening part
was the singing of the intermezzo from
Mascagnrs opera "Cavalliera Rustl-
cana" by the following: Richard j.
Jose, contra tenor; Herbert A. Ans
dell, first tenor; T. II. p. Harle, Sec
ond tenor; Charles Weber, baritone

The following pathetic letter from
Lizzie Ross, was read at yesterdays
meeting of the poor board:
Dear Friend: win one of you girls be
kind enough to give me 10 cents to get me
something for my dinner? Have not had
anything to eat since this morning and
/ haven't got as much as a slice of bread
in my house over here to eat, so please to
give me the 10 cents to get me some
thing to eat, because | am sick and lame,
as | would not ASK any of you to help
me but please won't you he kind to help
me out this time for | am hungry.
Please give me the 10 cents just this
once will you please? He isn't here and
l don't know when he will come home,
so please help me just this once for you
| don't know how hard 1t is to go hungry.
Please send me just the 10 cents, will
| you, please. for | am only an old broken
down sport oh, please, help me just
this once, will YOU, please dear friends,
| from Lizzie Ross
A few years ago Lizzie Ross was a
| beautiful and dashing young woman,
whose daring escapades frequently
! brought her name into the public
prints.
Her wild life carried it's own punish
ment with it and for weeks she has
| lived in miserable quarters on Vine
street, Stunned and deserted by her
| former companions. Disease has fast
ened its fangs firmly upon her in a
most hideous way, and her days on
earth are numbered. Death is the only
prospect of relief offered to her.
The letter given above was written
to women with whom she associated
| when she was q DroninaDf fig,lrn in
many revels. They turned the letter
over to Miss Kesel, nurse for the
Board of Associated Charities, and she
called the attention of the poor board
to the case yesterday.
The members decided to allow the
unfortunate woman to enter the home
and last night she was taken to that
| institution.

WADE M. FINN THIS TIME
He Became the Bondsman of Little
and o'Toole.

Richard Little and Michael O'Toole,
the editors of the Scrantonian, were
again arrested yesterday afternoon.
This time it was on a warrant issued
by Alderman Kelly on information fur
nished by Joseph w. Cross, charging
them with criminal libel. Deputy Con-
stable Jacob Elman took them into GUS
tody.
They were taken before Alderman
Howe and entered bail in the sum of
$1,000 each for appearance in court.
Wade NJ. Finn qualified as theiI~bonds-

There is a prospect of still another
case. A woman called at Alder
man Kelly's office yesterday afternoon
and asked for a warrant for the arrest
of Little and O'Toole. Upon being in
formed that the alderman was sick,
she promised to return again on Mon
day.
