way heretofore this season.
Engineer Riddle of the White Oaks
road met with a peculiar accident while
on run. He put his head out of the
cab window while passing a tank and
the chain of the water spout hit him
in the neck. jerking him against the
back of the cab so hard that he was
knocked insensible. His head and face
were badly bruised and he will be laid
up for some time.
Commencing the 18th there will be
"a through Pullman over the S. P. from
New Orleans to San Francisco and re-
turn. Heretofore the Pullman cars
have been stopped here and a different
one make the remainder of the journey.
There will still be one which will be
handled in the old way. as there are
two on every train and only one is to
go entirely through.
A. ID. Barlow. consul genera! at Mex
leo City, went to ella Bend, AriZ., from
this city this morning. He said he was
looking for some transportation and
that it should have been ready for him
to use this morning. but as it did not
come he bought a ticket and went any
way. The train was just disappearing
around the corner when Mr.. Spellicy
received his mail and in it was Mr..

f, new spur has been built in the T.
& P. yards near the shops for cars to
stand on when it is desired to coal the
engines direct from the cars. The GUS
tom of coaling direct from the cars has
been in use for some time owing to it
being a saving OF time over the coal
ing from bins. but before this spur was
built it was necessary to cross the turn
table which was an unnecessary wear
and tear on the table and will be elimi-
mated by the building of the new spur.

THE HOUSE COMMITTEE WILL RE
PORT THE NEWLANDS BILL
FAVORABLY.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. IA
This Afternoon the house committee on
irrigation and arid land voted to ia
vorably report with an amendment
the Newlands bill, providing a COM
prehensive plan of government aid
in retaining the arid sections of arid
land states.
The aid is accomplished by devoting
the receipts from public land sales in
this state to the purpose of reclaima-
ton These receipts this year amount
ed to over four million dollars.
a subcommittee was appointed to
present the bill in it's final form with
its amendments.
Considerable opposition was develop
ed on the ground of the growing ex
pense of the present congress, and on
constitutional grounds, but the advo-
Gates of improvement in the western
states succeeded.
This is regarded as a very long step
in bringing about an advance to such
states as Colorado. New Mexico. Ari-
IONA, and western Texas.

looking about the city with an eye to
the future club building. but it was
considered useless to attempt anything
at present.
The resignation of Mrs. Wright, the
first vice president, was received with
regret and the letter which is to be
sent her will represent only 1.-THE of
the love and esteem felt for her. The
club voted to give the public library
donation of fiv dollars a month. and
it seems proper that this work begun
by a handful of women several years
ago should be reinforced by the action
of the large body of women who form
the club.
Mrs Wells. for the Current Events
department, told the unhappy condition
of the poor people at the county hos
pital in the utter lack of reading mat
ter there. A number expressed a wish
to give of their abundance and the club
left ways and means with the depart
ment.
The unwritten law was brought up
that all members must belong to a de-
partment. as it has seemed that a few
do not realize this.

they could find. When asked what
they wanted they replied that they
were hunting for work.
Mr.. Rogers telephoned for a police
man who came and took charge of the
building and drove the .tramps away.
There was a great deal of good fur
niture, some clothing and many small
articles of some value left in the build
ing and it is thought that many things
were taken away.
The Furniture Loss.
Mr.. Rogers said this morning that
the furniture was almost a complete
loss, however. he carried very good
insurance. He did not remember the
amount as he had the policies renewed
that Mr.. Fisher, the former proprietor,
had been carrying. He paid Mr. Fish
er a good sum for the furniture last
September.
Burning of Grand Central.
The burning of the Pierson hotel
ing of the Grand Central in 1892. The
Grand Central stood where the Mills
building now is. The destruction last
night was the first great fire that has
occurred since the Grand Central was
destroyed and in many respects the
blaZeS were similar
The Grand Central conflagration
started in the tower or cupola ON the
outside Of the roof at about o'clock
a. m. and no one that saw the first small
blaze believed that the building was
in any danger of destruction. The
fire department, however, owing to in
sufficient water pressure, was unable
to kill out the flames before they had
spread and the entire structure went
up in smoke while the spectators stood
by and watched. The walls of the
Grand Central crumbled and fell and
firemen had many narrow escapes, but
most of the walls of the Pierson re-
manned intact.

BY a strange coincidence Adjuster
be in FL Paso when the hoted burned
and several of the companies have al
ready authorized him to adjust their
portion of the loss. Those that wired
promptly earl ythis morning to ar
range for a settlement were the Atlas,
the Sun, the Philadelphia Underwrit-
ers. and the Virginia Fire and Marine.
Adjuster Smith watched the blaze last
night and is prepared to act promptly.
May Be Rebuilt
1t is not yet known whether the no.
tel will be rebuilt or not. Mrs. Bell,
now in New York. has been notified
and her decision in the matter is
awaited. If another hotel building is
erected it will front on St Louis street
and will be far more elaborate in de-
sign.
Strange as it may appear the injunc-
ton suit brought against the railway
company for laying its tracks too near
the walls of the Pierson, so as to shake
them with its passing trains. came up
for hearing today. twelve hours after
the building had been destroyed
Why Fire Was Not Checked.
A. p. Coles today had nothing but
praise for the work of the firemen and
the manner in which they fought the
flames. He says they were put to a
decided disadvantage because of the
water pressure and were unable to get
the stream to the top of tn building
until the fire had gotten beyond con-
troll.
An insurance man, who saw the
fruitless efforts of the fire department
to raise the stream of water to the
upeer stories last night. shook his
head and remarked that Ell Paso's
water pressure lacks a great deal of
being what it is represented to the
insurance companies to be.
1t is said that the Grand Central
loss was also attributed to lack of prop
err pressure and Floyd Payne's resi-
dence was consumed for the same rea-
son.
Insurance men are considerably
up over the matter today
Origin of the Fire
The exact origin Of the fire is not
known, but from circumstances it is
supposed that it caught from a spark
from the kitchen f1ue.
The fire was seen at 6:35 L was
then a small blaze on the east side of
the tower and above the main roof of
the building, exactly even with the
flue. The wind was blowing slowly
from the east and could have easily
taken a spark to the tower The
tolls and the blowing OF switch engine
no one seeming to know
where the fire alarm was.
Prevented from Spreading.
When the main roof caved in it
seemed like the sparks and flying ire
were sure to ignite the adjoining build
ngs of the Southern Pacific railroad
Men with hoses were placed on the
mediate vicinity, who kept water flow
ng, which probably saved the small
of the company.
Severe Accident.
No casualties occurred as a result of
asst nights fire and so far as is known
10 one was injured in the least ex-
ept Bill Gilmore, who climbed up the
tairway to the second story and fell |
through, striking his head and infiict-
ng an ugly cash which DR.. Bush af- |
erwards stitched up.
Many Thefts Committed.
There was nearly as much property |
ost by thefts as by fire. Many of the !
,uests asked bystanders to help them |

THROWN BY A DOC
Mrs. M. {. Prince May Die
From Her Injuries.
HIP WAS FRACTURED
Was an Aged Woman Suffer
ing From Paralysis.

Mrs. NJ. E. Ponce was thrown down
yesterday morning by large dog neal
her home and seriously injured. Her hip
was broken and she is at present in the
Wichita hospital.
Mrs Ponce is an old lady &C years Of age
and has been suffering from a paralytic
stroke. Thus it happened that she did
not have full use Of her strength so as to
protect herself.
She had gone to visit a neighbo- and was
making her way into the yard Of Mr..
William Tudor which is just across the
street and about twenty yards north.
She had just gone into the yard when a
large dog belonging to the place ran out
and offered 10 play with her in his rough
way. In hs antics which resembled the
gambols OF an elephant he seized the folds
Of her skirt and threw her to the ground.
The people who are living in the place
and who owned the dog thought that he
was simply playing with her and did not
think about any accident Detailing fer.
and even after she had fallen to the
ground did not at once run to her as
sistance. When she did not rise they
knew that something was wrong and
went to her assistance and found that she
was badly injured and in a critical state.
The ambulance was called at once and
every care that could be given to the old
lady was given her. The ambulance
took her TO the Wichita hospital where
physician took her in charge and did all
that he could to alleviate the pain. II
was found that her right hip was frac-
tured and was in a very bad condition.
The physicians did all in their power to
relieve her and towards evening shs was
resting well.
Mrs. Ponce lives with her son at go
Walnut street on the West Side and is
well known among the people OF that
section of the city. 1t Is thought that
she xiii recover all right, but her age is
very much against her.
