The whole city Is gay with flags and
bunting, much attention having been
given to window decoration by the mer-
chants. Quite number of pretty booths
have been constructed in the streets by

display is behind that of last year. The

Mechanic Arts has an exceedingly fine

H. U. Nudge. general manager of the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, emphat-
ically denied that he was to be the pres
ident of the Kansas City, Fort Scott &
Memphis railroad to succeed the late
Edward s. Washburn.
II do not think that the Fort Scott &
Memphis could offer me sufficient in
ducements to leave the Santa Fe sys-
tem," said Mr.. Nudge. II understand
that my name has been considered by
the board of directors of the road for
the place, but no direct offer has been
made to me.
II have been with the Santa Fe sys-
tenn for twenty Eight years. 1t is like a
parent to me. l have an affection for
every rail and every tie on the line, and
I don't want to leave It,"
1t is generally understood that the
vice presidency of the Fort Scott &
Memphis was offered to Mr.. Nudge
two months ago. Speaking of the San
ia Fe system, Mr.. Nudge said:
Business is very good, indeed, all
along our line. Our California line Is
doing big business, and am perfectly

IN DISTRICT COURT.
Edward Davis Acquitted-The Case Against
A. Gallegos Dismissed.

In the district court this morning a
motion for q continuance In the case OF
j, w. Akers ct al VS.. Theresa Gilders-
| leeve, civil suit was argued by Attor-
neys Renehan and Victory and sustained
by Judge McFie.
The case against Ed. Davis, charged
with flourishing deadly weapon, was
taken up this morning In district court.
Davis is an old miner and prospector
who has long lived in the vicinity Of
Cerrillos and who short time ago
attacked parties living near there with
gun. He has been considered some
what unbalanced mentally for long
time and at the trial his actions and
absurd statements left no doubts as to
this fact. The jury rendered verdict
acquitting him on the ground of insanity
and in consequence Judge McFie com
mitted him to the custody of the sheriff
to be dealt with by the county as a
lunatc.
The case against A. Gallegos indct ed
for obtaining money under false preten-
ses was dismissed upon the defenda mt
restoring the amount alleged to have
been fraudulently obtained and paying
all the costs of court amounting to
about $160. Gallegos is from Lincoln
county and while on a visit to the capital
it was charged that he induced priest
in the city to let him have money by
misrepresentations.
The case of the Territory vs.. Lorenzo
Martinez for bribery was set for trial

account of one of the witnesses being
absent in Colorado. In consequence OF

city as he was engaged in playing base
ball with the team of that city. Not
knowing what could have happened to
cause him to receive telegram from
here, he Immediately imagined the
worst, Is his sister has been long in
delicate health. When asked he told
his fears before opening the dispatch
and as result the Albuquerque papers
announced the death Of his sister, Mrs.
y. A. Muralter, today. Fortunately,
Mrs. Muralter is we'll and was astonished

CHANGE IN POSTAL SERVICE.
A Proposition to Divide the Mail Line Be.
tween Albuquerque and Los Angeles.

Senator T. r. Bard, If California, has
forwardS' to the chrani,er Of commerce
at Albuquerque a letter received from
w. S. Shailenburger, second assistant
postmaster general, concerning the pro-
posed change in the railway postal
service between Albuquerque and Los
Angeles. Senator Bard and Congress
man Waters, of California, took the
matter up by request.
Mr.. Shallenburger's letter states, in
effect, that the postotflce department
has no intention of making any change
road that will impair the mail facilities
of southern California or New Mexico.
AS at present, the large cars will be run
into Los Angeles and the mails worked
terment can be effected. The depart
ment has been considering the advis-
ability of changing this line and divid-
ing at some intermediate point, such as
Ash Fork or Williams, because 1t is too
long, and this has probably caused the
agitation. 1t will be done to discom-
mode the least possible number of
clerks now on the line. Senator Bard
continues:
"These men (railway mail clerks) are
supposed to be on continuous service
from Albuquerque to Los Angeles, thir-
ty-six hours-and no human being can
work that number of hours in postal
car and keep it up. The run is organ
lied into ten crews, and the round trip
from Los Angeles consumes about four
lays and half, the clerks having a
lay-off of five days and half, SO that
il they work all the time they are on
the road, as the clerks on most lines do,
they would still have a longer lay off
than is allowed on nearly all Of the
larger lines"
The result, he writes, Is that either
the clerks must work the whole length
of the road and impose an unusual and
lnwarranted strain upon themselves, or
rest in the time which properly belongs
to the government.
If the line Is divided, and that is by
no means certain, he writes, the full
railway postoff1ce will undoubtedly be
on the west end of the line, from Ash
Fork to Los Angeles, and the clerks be-
tween those points will be rated up to
81, 200 and $1,4O0, and will retain their
residence in Los Angeles.
