CLIFF DWELLERS' RUINS
Excavation Reveals a Communal
Building Of 1000 Rooms That Wa.
Hastily Deserted.

SANTA FE, N. NJ. Aug. N.-New Mexico
has its Pompeii and its Herculaneum; 1T has
its extinct vesuvius and its extinct Aetna;
1t has ruins as interesting as those of Gen.
trail Asia and Of Egypt.
Not far from Santa Fe, in Santa Clara
canyon, there are buried the ruins of a city
of cliff dwellers. older perhaps than Rome.
Rev. @. 8. Madden and party of scientists
have attemped systematic excavation, and
during the last week they have dug out two
rooms of a communal building 300 by 400
feet, three stories high. containing at least
1900 rooms.
The rooms that were excavated showed
that the cliff dwellers deserted the house in
great haste. They left many articles of
interest behind which they would assured
ly have taken along If their leave-taking
had been less precipitous.
The abundance of turkey and dog bones
showed that those animals were kept in the
house. Attached to each living room in the
communal building are small turkey corrals
four by four feet. and connected with the
living rooms by low archways just high
enough for a turkey to slip through. In the
burial places the remains of the ancient
race are invariably found covered with
turkey and dog bones The bodies are
buried In STOPPING position. with the head
between the knees and the feet of all bodies
pointing to common center.
The most important find made by Rev.
Mr.. Madden was that of nine skeletons,
whose formation indicates that the ancient
cliff dwellers were not Indians, but were
allied to the Caucasian race. The forehead
Of the skulls is well formed. while the pos
terror part of the head is almost fat. In
the course of evolution the incisors of the
cliff dwellers were transformed into grind
ers, for the cliff dwellers were evidently
vegetarians. In their houses was found
corn, and they evidently grew and smoked
tobacco. Some skulls that were found In
the cliff dwellings on the ella had long red
hair.
The reason for the sudden evacuation of
the Santa Clara cliff dwellings is found in
the immense stream OF lava which poured
forth from a crater only a few miles from
Santa Fe and covered many square miles
with lava and ashes. 1t must have been
a volcanic eruption, similar to that which
destroyed Pompeii and Hercuianeum which
caused the cliff dwellers to flee from their
homes.
According to Rev. Mr.. Madden the dwell
ings were deserted at least 1000 years ago
The cliff dwellers were giants In their day.

measured twenty inches and must have be-

NO DANGER OF STRIKE.
So Says Chief Arthur-CommitteeG Goes
to Cincinnati.

The committee of Big -Four engineers that
had been meeting at the Occidental Hotel
several days went TO Cincinnati last even
ing with p. NJ. Arthur chief of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers. who arrived
In the city the night before and was in con-
sultation with the committee all day. The
committee and Mr.. Arthur will meet Mr.
Schaff, of the Big Four company, to-day
The committee did little while it here
but talk within itself and dodge newspaper
men. One of the members of the committee
was approached by reporter yesterday
afternoon and asked If he were a member
of the committee.
Yes, he replied, and fed upstairs. ap-
parenty afraid to even look back over his
shoulder.
1t is expected that, now Mr.. Arthur has
taken the matter in hand, something will
be done instead of holding executive ses-
sions.''
Il do not anticipate any trouble at ALL,
said Mr.. Arthur before he left the city last
evening. THE requests of the men are con-
servative and proper. If the matter cannot
be settled with Mr.. Schaff we will see Mr..
ingalls,, but think Mr.. Schaff will arrange
things satisfactorily"
Mr.. Arthur smiled when he was asked
about the report that there might be a
strike, and said there was no danger of ii,
and had not been. He said he expected te
settle the question on the morrow.
The engineers are asking that the wage
scale of 1893 be restored.

EXPRESS COMPANIES RIVAL.
United Parcel FOrwa riding Company
Complains of Discrimination.

Members of the United Parcel Forwarding
Company met at the English Hotel yester-
day to admit to the company new members,
particularly transfer men in the State of In
diana. According to William ]. Hogan, Of
this city, secretary of the organization, the
company, which has been in existence only
six months, is already formidable COM
petitor for large share of the business Of
the express companies.
THE company said Mr.. Hogan, "was
organized In New Jersey by transfer men
looking for more business, and 1T has grown
SO that it is now doing business in nearly
all of the larger cities of the North between
Maine and Colorado. Our scheme is to take
contracts for the delivery of all sorts of
parcels. containing advertising matter,
drugs, dry goods. etc. sort II according to
districts and towns. box II and ship by fast
freight lines. We handle no perishable stuff,
and while the time made is not quite equal
to the time made by regular express mat
ter. it is. fast enough for the handling of
such business we take, and at a saving
of from 20 to 80 per cent. to our patrons.
The express companies ignored us at first.
but the great increase in our business has
led TO the issuance of orders 10 express
agents not TO accept business from the
United Parcel Forwarding Company pro-
ceeding which is in violation of the laws
governing common carriers. i have been at
work organizing the new service throughout
this State. and have In my desk l15 letters
from transfer men asking for details and
requesting membership This meeting was
called for the purpose of instructing appli-
cants and the voting in of new members.
We have only one representative in each
city, and he must be regularly established in
the transfer business. Every member must
take stock in the company and give bond.
There are present about thirty members,
and many more are expected during the
day"
When asked IL II was the intention of the
ffC a
Mr.. Hogan said Though II may be some
time in coming. We will probably do 80. The
raliroad companies are very IaVorapie TO our
full freight rates on all shipments. and
while willing 10 allow US TO put on cars
their contracts with the express companies
prevent at present.
The officers of the company are: Presi-

the American Farmer, where he Is now employed.
He claims he told Pillet about leaving the ma
chine In the Stevenson building on approval, but
did not see At to GO after the machine give

ceived any money for the machine. and in placing
it on approval he only followed out custom in
vogue in all such establishments.

In THE COURTS.
Motions to auash Milk AmSavit.

Motions to quash the writs and affidavits
against A. Nickerson, L. ]. Isenhour and
Conrad Buchi, three dairymen, arrested for
alleged adulteration of milk and fined
in Police Court, from which appeals were
taken, were filed yesterday in the Criminal
Court. Arguments on the motions took up
the time Of the court during the afternoon
and the cases were taken under advisement
until Aug. "a. The attorneys for the defend
ants are endeavoring to Quash the aftdavits
on the ground that the law under which
they were made is unconstitutional in that.
1t Is claimed, the law is in direct violation
of Section 81 Article i, of the Constitution,
which says that mo mans property shall
be taken by law without just compensation,
nor In case of the State without compensa-
ton as assessed and rendered" 1t Is fur
ther claimed to be in violation of Section %,
Article, !, which states that mo law shall
be passed the taking effect of which shall
be made to depend upon any authority ex-
cept as provided in this Constitution" Sec
tion 10. Article 4, of the State Constitution,
prescribes that every act shall embrace but
one subject and matters properly connected
Herewith, which subject shall be expressed
in the title" 1t is further claimed that the
afidavits do not properly represent the true
conditions in the case.

Fred Bird, homeless, was found in a pitiable
condition between two tracks in the Vandalia
yards last night, and wss taken to the City Hos
pital in the Dispensary ambulance Bird, 1t is
said formerly lived with his parents In this city.
but ran away several years ago and was not
heard Of until yesterday. when he returned des-
titute in search of his father. He at once
learned of the death Of his parents and found
himself homeless and without friends Since that
time he has lived without regular shelter or food,
and when found last night was unable to move.
His cries attracted passersby. who took him from
the tracks and called for Dispensary physicians.
With regard to his condition there is dispute
between the Dispensary physicians and those of
the City Hospital. The former claim that Bird
has paralysis, while at the City Hospital this
view is not entertained He was, however, help
less In his lower limbs.

Prof. Putnam, on calling the meeting to or

science, contrasting especially those Of the
nineteenth century. of which he enumer-

Several of the vice presidential addresses
were of unusual merit. By an amendment to
the constitution, the vice presidents will

be delivered. The address of the retiring
president, Prof. Frederick w. Putnam,

AS someone has said. and 1t makes little
difference who. dirty shows will have to

learns II the sooner the Empire will profit
by the change. Mr.. Fennessy lost an OPP
portunity yesterday at the opening perform

TO administer some necessary discipline on

on whom all beauties Of art. scenery ana
music are thrown away, as rule. Iney

no end of good in showing the policy OF the
house. 1t was plain that people In the par.
