A WAGON ROAD FROM ALA
MOGORDO TO THE SUMMIT
Would Be Fine Thing for that Town
as it Would Attract Travel and BUS
mess From the East Slope.

The people of Otero county in New
Mexico are agitating the question of
building a wagon road to the summit
so as to connect with road on the
eastern slope of the Sacramento noun
tainS.
This would enhance the Importance
of the Magic City" Alamogordo,
greatly and would draw to that town
considerable travel and business.
The road is feasible, as Col. Lew
Gilbert demonstrated in building his
wagon road to the Caballero Onyx
mines. and simply by an extension, it
could be made to serve the purpose.
If the county does not see fit to build
the road the merchants of Alamogordo
will probably do so.

CONGRESS WILL MAKE STRONG
EFFORT TO OUTLAW HAZING
AT MILITARY ACADEMY.

WASHINGTON, JAN 26.-The in
vestigauons of the hazing operations
at West Point have made a great SEN
satiun here. The feeling among men,
beTs of congress on the subject is one
CT great indignation, and it is almost
certain that action will be taken at
this session of congress to put an end
to it.
The senate committee on military af-
fairs discussed the matter and every
member of it expressed himself in IA
yor of legislation that would effectu-
ally stop hazing. The committee
agreed to incorporate in the military
academy appropriation bill the follow
ing provision:
Under the direction of the secretary
of war, the superintendent OF the
United States military academy shall
make and enforce such rules and reg
ulations as will prevent the practice of
: hazing; and any cadet found guilty of
participating in such practice shall be
expelled from the academy and shall
not be reappointed to the corps of ca
diets therein, nor to the army OF the
United States
In the debate in the senate on the
army bill; there have been strong ex-
pressions of feeling against hazing and
the cadets have been pronounced cow
ardIy in the xetreme. The fact that
the first class cadets always pitted an
experienced and stronger man against
the inexperienced and weaker fourth
class man, as testified to at West

Many democrats, as we'll as repub-
licans. claim that while ring rule in
this city was possible in the past, the
town has now grown and reached such
stage of importance that bossism is
no longer to be tolerated.
Men of Independent character and
keen political sagacity have come to
this city during the past few years and
invested their money here and they do
not propose to submit to corrupt or
incompetent administration of the
city'S affairs.
Some of the shrewdest politicians
that ever graduated in that hot-bed of
politics-New MeXico-are now sub
stantial citizens of FL Paso and it is
reported that they are not satisfied
with the rule of the old-time ring and
are likely to revolt.

Ben Catlin would be a candidate for

lawyers here early in January to bid
on the school bonds for the bankers.
While making his spiel before the
council the lawyer intimated that Ben
wanted to go to the legislature and
nominated him for the office. In that
way the report hat Catlin would be a
candidate gained currency.

ACHIEVEMENT
OF THE TELEPHONE
The Bell Concern Yesterday Cele-
brated Its Twenty-fifth Ami
verSary.

Every user of the telephone will be
interested in the telegraphic despatch
sent out last night from New York
This was the twenty fifth anniver-
sary of the Bell telephone, and the
event was the subject of extended
comment in a report by Acting Presi-
dent Cochrane made to the American
Telephone and Telegraph Company at
Its annual meeting to-day. "Twenty
years ago. he said, ''there were
A, $50 telephone subscribers in the
United States, and 30, ia miles of
wire i'll use for telephone purposes.
At the end of last year there were
sos, $50 exchange stations equipped
with our instruments, and 1861, 801
miles OF wire employed for exchange
and toll line service. The estimated
number of daily exchange connections
is 5,668, 985, or about /, 1925, 600, 900 per
year. The average number of daily
calls from each station is 7 1-10. the
cost to the subscriber varying in diff
ferent places from 1 to cents per
connection. The investment in line
construction, equipment and supplies
for the long distance system up to
December 81, 1900, was SIG, IL, ,O20. 70. /"
But while the Bell telephone, or
the telephone of commerce, is twenty
five years old, the intention of speak
ing over electric wires is much older.
About fifty years ago a German pro
fessor invented a telephone and de-
scribed it in a book. He really should
have the honors of the first invention.
When your correspondent was a small
boy he was taken by his father to the
house of an Italian in Staten Island.
The Italian had wires running every
where, and he was experimenting
with the idea of the telephone. This
was some time before the Bell tele-
phone appeared. A little later, Pro-
fessor A. K. Eaton, of Brooklyn,
made an instrument by which speech
would be transmitted a long distance
over a wire. was at one end of the
Wire when the first sentence was
spoken i'll this way, and remember the
thrill of wonder and delight which
the discovery caused. This was sew
eral months before the Bell patent.
But the Supreme Court of the United
States, after long litigation, award
ed to Professor Bell the rights of the
first patent.

RAN IN FRONT
OF A TROLLEY CAR
Young Fellow Named Everingham
Played Hide and Seek and
Was Hurt.

Wednesday evening young fellow
named Fred Everingham, living at
No. 48 Clark street, was quite seri-
ously injured by being run over by a
trolley car. The accident resulted in
the boy being pretty generally shaken
up, and two of his ribs were broken.
AS far as can be cleaned, the acci-
dent occurred while Everingham was
playing with some boys at the corner
OF Clark and Laurel streets.
Everingham is fourteen years old,
and was running about the small
buildings there and just as trolley
car came along, dashed out from back
OF the building, across the sidewalk
and directly in front of the car, which
was moving north upon the up grade.
Otto Humphreys was motorman of
the car, and brought it to a stand still
as soon as possible. At this point the
cars run upon high rails, and the boy
was pushed under the car and rolled
over, which caused his ribs to be
broken. He did not lose conscious
ness. The boy was taken home and
DR.. Cornwell is attending him.

FIERCE FIRE
AT DEERFIELD.
A Large Hennery was Destroyed
by Fire Early Thursday
Morning.

. Early Thursday morning the large
hennery of Ebenezer Davis, at Deer
field, was entirely destroyed by fire.
Mr.. Davis lives on an adjoining
place to that of Arthur Seabrook, and
for some time has been egaged in rails
ing chickens upon large scale.
Some time after one O'Clock yester-
day morning flames burst from the
big hen houses, and in a few minutes
were roaring mass. The chicken
buildings were not more than twenty
feet from the residence, and it took a
great deal of hard work to save the
house.
The hennery was destroyed with
about one hundred and fifty chickens,
together1 with three incubators, all
filled with eggs, and various brooders,
etc. The loss is about $4O0 with 800
insurance. The origin of the fire is
supposed to have been from one of the
incubator lamps. = .

NOT AGNOSTICS
AT PRINCETON.
The Rev. DIR. Frazer, of Newark,
Replies to Women's Criti-
ciSmS.

The Rev. DR.. David r. Frazer, of
Newark, one of the Princeton Board of
Trustees, when seen by a reporter
yesterday in reference to the state
ments made at the meeting of the
Women's Sabbath Alliance ON Monday
in New York, that Princeton was a
hotbed of agnostics, became consider
ably warmed up. He said:
These women mean well, but they
should study the facts before they
make any such statements as these.
However, Princeton can stand such
talk as that. AS for the statement
that almost all the younger professors
at Princeton are agnostics, they are
amply able to take care of themselves.
We do not place any such men on the
Princeton faculty
Princeton doesn't encourage Sunday
travelling, but, like the Lord, Prince
ton recognizes the fact that at times
it may be necessary to travel ON Sun
day. 1t is simply case of the OK and
the ass. I am not certain of the cur
riculum Monday mornings, but 1 am
certain that if Princeton allows a
student to spend Sunday at home he
will not be condemned if he returns
on Monday morning. My boy spends
Sunday at home, and he does not re-
turn to Princeton Sunday night,
either. If there is some special rea-
son for being present at the univer-
sity early on Monday morning-an ex-
animation, for instance-I see no OBJ
lection to returning on Sunday night

Brutally Assaulted.


Salem, March 2G.-Detectiye Carney
last night arrested George Newsome.
a colored farm hand, aged 26, and
about six feet in height, recently en-
ployed by Charles B. Finlaw, a farm
er living in Pittsgrove township
charged with forcibly assaulting the
latter's l4-year old daughter Mabel
Mabel and her younger sisters and
brothers were playing hide-and-seek
about the outbuildings at the farm
on February 8. The young children
were unable to find Mabel, and seeing
Newsome close at hand asked him if
he had seen her. He said that he
noticed her running toward the
woods, which are a few hundred
yards away from the barn.
AS soon as the children ran off to
find Mabel, Newsome entered the barn
where he knew Mabel was hiding and
there, it is alleged, he committed the
crime. The girl, so it is claimed.
was intimidated by the negro, who
threatened that if she made any out
cry or told her parents of his deed he
would kill her.
The child was so frightened by what
had happened that she kept the mat
ter to herself until yesterday, when
she told her father. He at once had
warrant sworn out, and Newsome
was arrested and brought to the
Salem county Jail He will be given
a hearing tomorrow.

WINTER FAILS TO GET
HIS CASE REOPENED.
Lands Township Man Again Ap-
pealed to the State Board of
Taxation,

The State Board of Taxation yester-
day refused to reopen the case of
Thomas H. Winter, of Landis town
ship, Cumberland county.
Winter recently made a complaint
that he was assessed too high on his
personal property, and on a hearing
OF the matter the Board decided that
ne had grievance and they reduced
his assessment about $40, The
total amount of his assessment was
$76, 900.
Despite the reduction Winter still
claimed that his property was assessed
at higher rate than that of his
neighbors
The Board came to the conclusion
yesterday that they already had given
the complaint attention and that it
would be useless for them to again
open the case.
