President George n. Smith, Of the Erie

tive to the changing Of that company's
time table between this city and Haw-
ley. President Smith. though he ad-
mitted that under the present arrange
ment visitors from the latter place
could only spend forty-nine minutes IN
this city IL they wanted to return the

much satisfaction.
He pointed out that passenger traf-
fic at this season of the year Ia very
light and that little later. when busi-
ness increased, a change might be con-
sidered.
Action on the proposition to change
the meeting night from Monday to
Tuesday evening was indefinitely post
poned. several Of the members pres
ent thinking that the reasons given for
the proposed change were not SUBJ
stantial enough.

the laws governing second-class cities,
were unable to make a report before

M'CoY's NARROW ESCAPE.
Horse He Was Driving Struck by
Engine and Killed.

Peter Mccoy, a driver for the United
States Express company, had a very
narrow escape from being struck by a
locomotive yesterday afternoon at the
Green Ridge street crossing of the
Delaware and Hudson railroad.
Mccoy was driving one of the COM
pany's single horse wagons at about
o'clock, the time the accident hap
pened. The gates at the crossing were
up, as If no train was approaching.
and he had just got beyond them when
he was horror stricken to see a pas
senger train coming around the curve.
The horse was bv this time on the
track and Mccoy, with admirable
presence of mind, leaped out and to
one side of the track just as the loco
motive struck the animal. He says
himself that so near was he that as
he jumped the engine actually brushed
against his coat. The horse was in
stantly killed. being frightfully man
gled, and the wagon was smashed con-
siderably. Mccoy, however. escaped
without injury.

sunday and met a cordial reception
rom the people both while looking for
pleasure and business.
Mr.. Shepard was both amused and
surprised at little insinuation about
hot air. in another paper and said
lie didn't understand the application
Of the term. as he tried to give fair
consideration of the claims made to
him by our merchants. He says he
wants to be fair, and he comes to hear
-neir claims because he cannot lay his
plans properly to give fairness without
irst knowing the facts and conditions
ne says he has a warm place in MS
neart for Ell Paso. He wants to see
T., Paso prosper and become a great
city and will do all in his power to
help her do SO. He says the future of
Ell Paso is assured. She has had Won
derful growth in the city. He spoke
of the time when he was a reSidenL of
81 Paso and when III Paso street was
only a row of adobe buildings. Ever
since he has known Ell Paso, even be-
fore there was a railroad entering this
place, the question has always been
asked, How can there be any town
where there are no agricultural re-
sources nor any visible means of sup
port for a town."
He said that though not many appre-
ciated the fact, that Ell Paso's success
was contributed to largely by her Mex
lean population. Good unskilled labor
is easy to secure and this has much to
do with the upbuiiding of the town. He
says that this feature should be appre-
ciated and encouraged. FL Paso has
wonderful resources for small indus
tries where rough labor is needed and
more of these industries should be eS-
tablished. He says to not look too nigh
yet, but establish means of using this
ready resource and after while the
Mexican labor will become skilled. He
pointed to the fact that Mexicans were
becoming skilled in manufacturing the
necessaries of life in the republic and
Lney can De taught to do so in the
United States.
Mr.. Shepard says that just before he
LETT Ell Paso the first sewers were be-
ing laid. Col. George Warning had
few engineers here doing the work
and these engineers had Mexican labor
under them. They told Mr.. Shepard
that they had had many different kinds
of laboring men working under them,
but that the Mexicans were better
adapted to the work than any they
had ever had. This resource, he says,
is one of the secrets of FL Paso's pros
perity that strangers coming to the
town do not understand.
