REMOVED FROM OFFICE.
Jose L. Psrsa No Longer Collector Of Ber'
nalillo County.

Jose L. Perea, the collector and treas
urer Of Bernalillo county. has beer re-
moved from his office by the board of
county commissioners, and Charles X.
Newhall was appointed to fill the unex-
pired term until January 1, 1901. The
reason assigned in the resolutions
adopted by the county commissioners
$ that Perea was never duly qualified
for the office, for, in addition to the US
ual oath required by all county officers
to perform the duties devolving upon
them to the best of their ability, there
is section in the Compiled Laws of 1897
(section 255T requiring county treas
urers to make oath within 30 days OF
assuming office that they are not in
lebted in any manner whatsoever to
the territory, or counties which they
may represent. This oath, 1t seems,
Perea failed to take and, therefore, has
never been legally in office. The posi-
lion then devolves upon the last occu-
pant of the Office before Perea, who is
Alexander Sandoval. However, Mr.
Sandoval rendered his resignation as
county treasurer yesterday afternoon,
which Is also embodied in the resolu-
tions. The office being vacant, the COM
missioners proceeded to elect Charles
K. Newhall to the position. Mr.. New
hall Is the receiver of the old Albu-
luerque National Bank, and is promi.
nent in financial circles in Albuquerque

An AGED WOMAN.
Manuela Trujillo, Aged l03 Years, Died at
Taos,

Maj. Pedro Sanchez, supervisor of the
census for New Mexico, is In receipt of
letter from his home at Taos an
nouncing the death of his lifelong
neighbor, Sonora Manuela Trujillo
aged 1O3 years, an excellent woman
about whose age the major says there
is no question. She was a native of
Abiquiu, and the ancient church rec
ords there indicate that she was born
in 1897. She was the wife of Jose Maria
Quintana, and raised eight children, the
eldest of whom, Ascension Quintana. Is
rs years of age. She has son in Taos
who is about Ct years old, which Is
Major Sanchez's age. The latter says
he remembers Dona Manuela as an
aged woman when he was little boy.
She was then of medium statue. but
during the past twenty-five years she
has gradually shrunken and dwarfed in
size until at her death she was not
much larger than the average sized 10
year-old girl, and about as much devel-
oped physically. Indeed, for years she
has been scarcely more than a child,
with simple, childish ways. She leaves
an army Of descendants, and in her last
years her chief delight seemed to be
fussing with her great great grandchil-
dren over the possession Of tortilla

New Orleans, La, July 26.-All last
night and up to half past o'clock this
morning mobs ran riot through the city
on the hunt for negroes, and those un-
fortunates who fell into their grasp
were either killed or badly wounded
and left for dead. After the mobs got
started the negroes became terrorized
and took shelter in homes and out
houses of white people, who protected
them, so that only unsuspecting and in
offensive negroes were the victims. The
police are powerless. The mobs are
composed almost entirely of boys under
21 years of age. They had no leaders.
but acted on common impulse. At Nor
rison square, near the scene of the as
sassination Of Captain Day and Officer
Lamb, a mob listened to a speech from
a man hailing from Kenner, and then
started to waylay negroes. Alex. Ruff
fin, Pullman car porter; ]. c. Lunoy,
a conductor on the Peters avenue car;
F. G. Davis, mOtorman on the same
car; Frank Sheperd. white man in
the crowd, werA all wounded. but not
fatally. A negress na.reA Esther Fields
was brutally beaten. T. P. Sanders, q
colored porter at Post & Bowles' insur-
ance agency. was stabbed, shot and left
for dead. Oswald Mcmahon, a 12-year-
old boy, following the crowd. was shot
in the leg. George Morris, colored
watchman at Peydras, was shot and
stabbed several times and left for dead.
John Reeds, white man, was shot dur
ing the indiscriminate shooting. Dan
White, a negro roustabout, was shot In

mob was shooting wildly, and one Of
the crowd, named John Doran, got a
bullet in the leg. An unknown negro,
taken from Villoc street car, was shot
to death. A Dauphin street negro, rs
years old, named Baptiste Flo, was
beaten almost to death. An unknown
negro was fatally beaten on Decatur
street. Another unknown negro was
killed at the French market. Acting
Mayor Mehle issued a proclamation at
1880 o'clock. calling upon all good citi-
zens to keep the peace, but did not stop
the rioting.
Wild reports reached police headquar-
ters from various sections Of the city,
giving information about the beating of
negroes. Work on the levee, where ne
gro labor Is largely employed, has been
suspended. The big grocery and pro-
duce houses also practically are doing
nothing because they cannot get negro
drivers to risk their lives. Mayor Cap
devilla communicated with Governor
Heard, who will Immediately call out
the militia to preserve order in the city.
A delegation Of citizens to-day went
to the city hall and asked the mayor
either to call out posse Of citizens or
to appeal to the governor to order out
the militia. The mayor decided imme-
diateiy to prepare a proclamation, call
Ing for 500 volunteer citizens to assist

The HORTICULTURAL FAIR.
Preparations Should Be Made for Holding
Il in the Fall,

The annual fair held at Albuquerque
is very enjoyable occasion, and should
always be encouraged and attended by
citizens of all parts of New Mexico, but
for actual practical benefit to the ter
ritory the horticultural fair Is second
to none. as it brings before the world
one of New Mexico's chief industries.
This should be held here during the
week before the Albuquerque fair, so
that the same exhibits from remote
counties can be used at both, and it Is
full time that preparations were begun.
1t is proposed this year to add an ex-
hibition Of Belgian hares as an inter-
esting feature. A meeting should be
held and citizens should subscribe for
the expense without delay.
