Chihuahua Enterprise: 0. w. Powers, material agent for the Orient, has been out along the line of the Chihuahua & Pacific for sev- eral days inspecting and receiving ties for his company. Arriving in Mihaca Monday, after train time, in company with several friends, he went over the works of the A. R. Dunn contract as far as the Guerrero river. While in bathing a peculiar accident occurred. While Mr. Powers was in the water up to his ears, some one, without real izing it's effects, threw piece of dynamite in the water within forty feet of him, to try and bring up some fish. Giant powder, exploded under water, transmits it's explosive force instantaneously. Powers says it felt as if he had been struck by carload of ties. He says he was not intended by nature to receive such jars, and thinks the shock had the effect of hattening him out some what as the heavy pressure of deep seas hattens out fish.

 A., widow of the late Mir. Zea, and whose home is at No. 16 Nuevo
 Mexico street, has complained to the police authorities that Juan H. Schiatfino eloped on Wednesday night with her daughter, Josefna, who is sixteen years old. The ac- cused man denies the charge, and says that he can prove that he did not elope with the girl; and also that he will bring suit against Mrs. Zea for defamation of character. The girl has not been found.
 Mexican Herald: Actual con struction has been begun on the building for the big powder works of the Mexican Dynamite and Ex- plosive Company, at Gomez Pala- cio, Durango, and it is said the works will be completed by the end of this year. The plant will be located twenty kilometers north west of Gomez Palacio, in canon in the mountains. The location is ideal and the supply of water is said to be everlasting. The Mex ican Central railroad has begun the construction of branch road to the works, and 8 large force of men will be kept busy until the branch is completed.
 Tampico Owl: We are now re- liably informed that the trolley cars will not be placed in operation at once, but that during the time the streets are being reconstructed, horseless carriages will be used and that as great piles of earth and material will be scattered along the prominent streets, these same horse less carriages will be drawn around on the street car tracks by native mules. We congratulate ourselves that we are to have at least a mule car line to start with. It wouldn't be just right nor would it be treat ing the gentle mule right to put in an electric system without giving him a chance to first haul the cars over the street.
