Sundays Ball Game.

The lovers of the national
game who witnessed Sundays
performance had a rare treat.
The local teams again met on
the diamond, each bedecked in
their new uniforms, and the play
ing during several innings would
have done credit to professionals.
At the beginning of the game
the Americans took a long lead
and it seemed that they would
win easily, but the Mexicans
soon got their second wind and
began to play ball in a style that
gradually tied the score and fin
ally brought them off victors by
a score of IA to 10. TOmorrow's
game is sure to be a rafting
good one, for the Americans will
make desperate effort to recov-
er their lost laurals and the Mex
leans will try equally hard to
hold the laurals they have won.

Andy Wickham Injured.

Word was received in this city
a few days ago that Andy Wick
ham had been injured in a mine
in Mexico where he has been en-
ployed for several months. The
report of the accident is to the
effect that Andy and two other
miners had been down in the
mine taking some measurements
and were standing on a scaffold
ready to come out when the scaf-
fold suddenly gave way letting
all three fall thirty feet. One
man was so seriously injured in
ternally that he will probably
die, another had an arm broken
in two places, and Andy came off
with a leg broken between the
knee and ankle. Andy was al
ways very popular in Socorro and
many expressions of sympathy
are heard for him. AT last re-
port he was doing well.

Palace Saloon Opening.

The Palace Saloon was form
ally opened to the public Satur-
day night. There was a large
crowd present and the proprie-
tors, Messrs. Lilies & Torres,
were extremely liberal in their
treatment of their guests. San
Miguel band furnished excellent
music for the occasion. No
saloon in the territory of New
Mexico can boast of richer furni-
ture than that of the Palace. 1t
has attracted many visitors, in
cluding several of the ladies of
the city, and all have met with a
hearty welcome and courteous
treatment.

MILITARY COMPANY
ORGANIZED.
Members Enrolled, Officers Elected,
and the New Organization Given
Grand Send-Oif.

The large court room in the
court house was we'll filled Mon
day evening at the hour appoint
ed for the organization of a mill
tary company for Socorro. By
way of introduction to the formal
proceedings, enthusiastic address
ses were delivered by Mayor M.
Cooney, Capt. Il. ]. Matthews,
Julian Trujillo, Prof. o. R.
Smith, and Jesus Gallegos. San
Miguel band furnished some of
their best music for the occasion.
There was no backwardness on
part of the young men of the
city to enroll as members of the
company. The required number
of forty-four was very soon sup
piled. The election of officers
resulted as follows: Captain, T.
J. Matthews; first lieutenant,
Seferino Abeyta; second lieuten-
ant, w. NJ. Swisher; first
sergeant, o. h. Smith; field mu-
sician, Henry Chavez. Drill was
then indulged in for two hours
in the school of the squad and
company. The Adjutant Gem
eral is expected to visit the COM
pany next week to make final ar
rangement for its equipment
with uniforms, guns, ammuni-
tion, &c. The company will
thus become a part of the nation
al guard.
The organization of this mill
tary company will add an at
tractive and picturesque feature
to the life of Socorro. Nor is
that all, for under the command
of Capt. Matthews, who is thor
oughly competent in sub mat
ters, the company is expec eed to
become one of the crack compa-
nies of the territory. Under
such circumstances the company
will not fail to receive whatever
support it may need from the
business men of the city.

representatives asking what they
would pay for tickets from those places
to Houston. The Chicago people were
willing to pay $25 and others proper
tionate prices.
Round trip tickets to Chicago were
then selling at $24.50 but when the
Houston brokers received the offer OF
$25 from Chicago to Houston the rate
had been cut to $21.95. When a ticket
was sold for $25.3 80 which cost the brok-
er only $21.95 balance was left the
broker of So. .35. Those who bought tickets
received their $25 from the Chicago cor
respondent and consequently only paid
thirty cents as their fare to Chicago.
The cigars which the broker threw In
with the thirty cent ticket cost $3.3
wholesale which deducted from his bal
ance of $3-35 gave him profit of five
cents on each ticket.
How did the brokers get their tick
cts for their passengers? The passen-
ger went to the brokers' Office and was
told to go to the city Office and buy his
ticket paying at the quoted rate. Then
returning he gave the broker 49, 35 in
addition receiving therefor an order en-
titling him to his rebate of $25 in Chi
cago. Many people took advantage OF
the thirty cent fare. A great many
went because it was SO cheap. That
rate is certainly the lowest ever made
in Texas and about the lowest in the
history of rate making"

Cottonwood River Overfiowfng
Around Emporia.
Destroying Crops and Damaging
Farm Homes.
NEOSHO ALSO is HIGH.
Most Of the Bridges Are Now
Made Useless.
The Santa Fe Is Troubled With
Soft Tracks.

Emporia. Aug. 25-The flood situa-
tion along the Cottonwood river near
here is alarming. The Cottonwood is at
standstill at a stage only a few inches
lower than during the disastrous flood
of last June. Farms are deluged and
homes are flooded. compelling bottom
land farmers to flee from the dangerous
waters. =Nsff
Fewer families are being caught in
the food than last June, for that ex-
perience taught them to leave their
homes sooner. The Cottonwood has
been rising steadily for the past week
and many farms have been submerged
SO hours and longer. causing certain
destruction to the crops they bear. The
situation is more serious than at the
time of the June flood. because it is
now too late to replant the fields when
the flood recedes. The loss can hardly
be computed. The Neosho is within its
banks above the junction with the Cot
tonwood river, six miles east of EN-
poria. Below the junction the Neosho
is entirely out of its banks. The Santa
Fe railroad is much troubled with
washOuts west of here and some pas
senger trains from the west are annull-
ed. The high water has rendered most
of the bridges across the Cottonwood
useless. A heavy rain fell here acain
last night.

CHECKS FROM CHICAGO.
Rock Island Men No Longer Get
Paid From Topeka.

Goodland, Kan, Aug. 25-The fact
that the Rock Island system paid out
more money this month to it's employees
at Goodland than for several years
previous, is proof that the Rock Island
is doing a heavy business. The pay of
the train service was especially heavy
because of the large increase in travel
west during the summer months.
The cashier of the First National
bank said that more men drew checks
exceeding 5000 than for years previous.
The First National paid out $4,000 and
the employees of the bank were kept
busy handing out the cash.
Payment this time was made with
green checks which were sent out from
headquarters at Chicago, as the office
of assistant treasurer at Topeka has
been abolished.

RAILROAD 100 YARDS LONG.
Scheme to Block the Plans of Wabash
at Pittsburg.

President Ramsey of the Wabash is still
in Pittsburg looking after the affairs of the
system of which he is the head. An at
tempt is being made to keep the Wabash
out of the south side mill district from
which will come large part of the freight
tonnage. The Monongahela. Allegheny and
Ohio Railroad company has been quietly
chartered for the purpose of blocking the
entrance of the Wabash to this rich field.
The new road will extend from Carson
street on the south to the Monongahela
river, a distance of only about 100 yards.
but is the key to the situation. The ground
covered lies directly in the pathway of the
Wabash, the latter owning the property
on both sides of it,. At one end will be the
Pennsylvania tracks and perpendicular
cliff 500 feet high; at the other the Pitts
burg ard Lake Erie railroad and the river
will be in the way. Mr.. Ramsey is on the
scene and will doubtless take steps to pre-
vent the shutting out of the Wabash, but
what he can do other than buy the new
road outright, is not clear. 1t is generally
believed in railroad circles here that the
projected line simply chartered to
compel the Wabash to pay a fancy figure
for the property, as without the entrance
thus closed to them the road can not gain
admission to the south side.
