MURDER AND HOLDUP
Daring Train Robbers Held Up a
Pennsylvania-Pi tsburg Train
Near Columbus, Ohio.
EXPRESS MESSENGER KILLED
The Robbers Rifed the Express Companys
Safe, but Secured Little Booty-The
Robbers Made Their Escape-A
Posse in Pursuit.

Columbus, O., August 11.-A daring
murder and robbery was committed on
the Pennsylvania Pittsburg train which
arrived here from st. Louis at 1880 last
night Charles Lane, an Adams ex-
press messenger, was shot and killed
shortly before the train reached the
union station in this city. The local
safe was robbed of all the money and
valuables it contained. The robbers es-
capped. How much booty they secured
is purely matter of speculation. The
safe robbed contained only packages of
money and valuabIes collected after the
train left st. Louis, and the officials of
the express company insist that the
sum was not large. The sheriff's posse
started in pursuit of the robbers.

as regards resources available for gen.
! eral purposes, it is perhaps the poorest
of the territorial institutions. All that
it can spend for administrative pur-
poses-for salaries of president, regis
trar, librarian, janitor, etc; for the
teaching of subjects not provided for
by the Morrill, act Gas, for instance,
Spansh); for keeping its buildings and
grounds in repair, and furnishing and
heating the former; for the travelling
and other expenses of the board of re-
gents (and the board is not local one),
and other officers; and for printing and
advertising-must come out of the ter
ritorial fund, made up of the annual
levy of one-fifth of a mill amounting
now to a little more than $4,000, and of
the students fees. Inasmuch as citi-
zens of the United States are only
charged s. a year, the fund derived
from fees amounts to very little; $1,000
a year, then, is about all that the col
lege has to expend for general running
expenses exclusive of the sum devoted
directly to instruction in the subjects
enumerated in the Morrill, acD. And
even tins 5000 canr,t all be used for
college purposes; for the New Mexico
agricultural experiment station is by
the federal law made part of the col
lege, and, although the United States
spends $4,000 a year for the support of
this station, no part of this sum can be
used for the purposes of the college
proper, and only $3.50 of it can be spent
on buildings and repairs and permanent
improvements of realty the result be
ing that part of the territorial fund
spoken of above must frequently be
withheld from college purposes, in or
der to provide and keep in repair the
buildings and improvements to realty
necessary for the work Of the expert
ment station.
During the ten years Of it's existence
the college has acquired, partly by pri-
Tate gift from the land owners of Las

Santa Fe county this fall will be done
The club organized last Saturday night
with membership of 200, among those
some of the best citizens of the capital.
Political matters in Mora county are
shaping themselves, so that it looks as
if the Republicans will carry the county
by 300 or more majority at the coming
election. The Democratic bosses count
upon alleged Republican dissensions
there, but they will find themselves
badly mistaken when the votes are
counted. 1t is understood that the Re-
publican nomination for the council
this time for the district goes to Mora
county, and strong man will be placed
in the field.
From Rio Arriba county comes the
news that the Republican county ticket
will be elected by large majority, and
that if Hon. Thomas D. Burns will con-
sent to become a candidate for the leg
islative council that the legislative tick
ct will be elected also by strong ma
jority. Mr.. Burns does not desire the
position, but may be induced to take it
for the party's and the peoples good.
Should he absolutely decline, there will
be many candidates, and the strife for
the nomination may injure and be
harmful in the election. From Taos
county it is said Hon. Malaquias Marti-
nes has many friends who desire him to
accept the nomination for councilman
from the district, and Hon. Pedro San
ches is also spoken of. and is doing hard
work to secure delegates. With pru-
dence, sagacty and fairness in party

POISONED SIX BOYS.
They Visited Farmers Watermelon Patch
With Dire Results.

Cleburne, Tex, August 11.-At Bluff
dale, an isolated place west of this city,
people are greatly worked up over the
wholesale poisoning of white boys who
went into a farmers watermelon patch,
ate and destroyed many melons. A few
days later the boys wrote the farmer a
note, telling him that they were going
to visit his patch again, and would get
even more melons than on the previous
visit. The farmer split the stems Of
some melons and inserted strychnine.
Six boys visited the patch and ate mel
ons. Two boys died in the patch, two
died on their way home, and two died
after reaching their homes.

THE MORRILL, FUND.
The federal government now requires
that all of the Morrill, fund be expended
within the year for which it is appro-
priated, or the balance returned to the
United States treasury. But formerly
so much of the Morrill, fund as might
not be expended in a given year could
be carried over to the next year; and in
the earlier days of the college, when the
work of the institution was not suffi-
GENTLY developed to require the expend-
iture of all the Morrill, fund for each
year for the purposes to which alone it
was legally applicable, the regents
sought to meet the embarrassment
which the very limited territorial re-
sources caused by loaning a part of the
Morrill, fund to the territorial fund. Sew
eral of the college buildings We're COM
pleted in this way. A year ago the au-
thorities at Washington declared this
a misappropriation of the Morrill, fund.
and demanded that the total amount of
such misappropriation-t amount
ing to about $S,00O-be returned to the
the year, under penalty of Withholding
future appropriations from the United
States. In view of the very small

instead of having a little more than 200
students, as at present it would have
twice that number; for it is beyond
question that no other educational in
stitution in the territory can compare
with it in the breadth and extent of it's
courses of study, in the personnel of it's

five men and women, many Of them

NOT ONLY AN AGRICULTURAL
COLLEGE.
Although popularity known as the ag-
ricultural college, it Is much more than
this. Its official designation is the New
Mexico College of Agriculture and Me-
.hanic Arts, and under the acts of con-
sress and of the territorial legislature,
accordance with which it is o.gan-
lied, 1t is authorized to give instruction
in all branches of a college education;
and, except that it teaches no foreign
language but Spanish and the rudi-
nents of Latin, it lives fully up TO it's
privileges, and, in addition to it's tech
nical courses in agricultural science
and mechanical engineering, it provides
/, course in civil engineering and rich
general scientific course. The one thing
that it does not afford is what is tech
nically classical education. Greek is
not taught at all. To farther carry out
the idea of industrial education, to fos-
ter which the United States has en-
dowed "A. and M" colleges similar to
the New Mexico agricultural college in
every state and territory of the union,
special courses in English and Spanish
stenography are offered, and as a
school for the training of Spanish ste
nographers the New Mexico college is
unexcelled and probably unequallcd on
the American continent. Ut may be
noted that Messrs. Lester and Barker.
of the college, have recently published,
through an eastern house, the best
adaptation Of stenography to Spanish
that has yet appeared) There is also a
preparatory department, in which man.
ual training, which makes such an i'm
portant part of the mechanical engin-
eering course, is taken up by ali the
younger pupils and carried far enough
| to develop considerable mechanical
dexterity and artistic taste.
MORE FUNDS NEEDED.
At first blush 1t seems strange that so
strong an institution as this should not
be more widely known and better ap-
preciated throughout the territory; but
the secret is to be found in its peculiar
financial condition. As a matter Of ne
cessity It does less advertising than the
other territorial institutions; for, al
though in some respects much the rich
| est educational institution in the ter
ritory, receiving $4,000 year from the
United States Morrill, fund for instruc-
ton in certain definite branches, and
for facilities for this instruction, such
as books and movable apparatus, yet,

toward party success. Many citizens,
