OLD FASHIONED STORM.
The Beautiful" Game Dawn in Large
Flakes This Morning,
SNOW BALLIAG lNDULGED IN.

At last Albuquerque has received a
touch of the snow ball season, and for
awhile this morning the hard and soft
balls of snow were flying in all direc-
tions. The spirit seemed to have a ten
dency to effect the unusually dignified
natures of the men as well as the ever
revolving spirits of the boys.
The snow storm that visited the city
this morning was the heaviest fall that
las been evidenced in Albuquerque for
several years, and it is not unwelcom-
ed by the people of the dry and sunny
cline.
But snow and the high altitude are
not compatible and consequently at
noon the white covering began to dis
appear as quickly as it came, but not
until the people had received some en-
joyment from it.
About noon the snow fall was Very
beautiful, and many an eastern bred
citizen, made a special effort to get out
and mingle with the white visitor
Snow TO the extent it fell today is
seldom heard of here, and were it to
return in larger quantities and remain
a week or so ii would be an unwelcome
guest. Although a snow fall may be
a seldom occurrence in Albuquerque,
il Is as remarkable as it is strange
that the boys are so well versed in
the art of making and throwing these
seldom soft missiles. Many a good
hat was broken or knocked off in the
wet snow, and many peaceful tenn
per was reused to a fighting disposi-
tion, but taken all in all the people did
not seem to mind a little bit of fun on
the side, as many knew it was short
lived And those that did not, secret
ly wished for its disappearance.
But the beautiful white snow is go
ing and now we are experiencing the
Gisaggreable after effects.
Considering the snow from another
point, it will be worth thousands of
dollars to the stock raisers and ranch
men, as dispatches received say that it
was general and greatly appreciated
by the stock raisers.

PEACE TO HER ASHES.
Mrs. Louisa N. Thomas Buried in
FaiVisW This Morning.
LARGELY ATTENDED FUNERAL.

The funeral of Mrs. Louisa NJ.
Thomas was undoubtedly the largest
attended funeral that Albuquerque has
seen for many day. Higher respect
could not have been shown the good
and estimable lady than was shown by
the hundreds of sorrowful friends of
the family in this city and surrounding
territory this morning.
Friends from all parts of New Mex
leo arrived in the city yesterday and
today to show their esteem of the
friendship of one so dear. The untime-
ly an distressing death has cast a
mournful gloom over every community
OF her associations.
The cortege left the home on Lead
avenue at $50 o'clock and proceeded
to the church of Immaculate Concep-
tion, where the requiem high mass be-
gan at 10 o'clock, Rev. A. NJ. Man
dalari being celebrant; Rev c. Capt.
lupi, S. j., deacon, and Rev. NJ. LA
guirre, S. j., sub-deacon. Rev. j. Nc
Namara acted as master of ceremonies
and directed the sanctuary boys SOL
lality. The music was rendered by the
church senior choir, directed by Mrs.
Thomas F. Shinick.
After the mass the rites of absolu-
tion over the corpse were given which
closed the ceremonies in the church.
The catafalque between the corpse
and altar was covered with burning
candles.
The altar candles were draped in
black.
After the ceremony was over friends
placed wreaths of flowers on the
casket.
Immediately after the religious GER
emony the long procession of carriages
proceeded to Fairview cemetery, where
the burial took place by a special dis
pensation obtained from Archbishop
Pitival of Santa Fe. This special dis
pensation was granted, owing to the
fact that the husband, DR.. Thomas, and
a child, are buried there in the family
lot
Notwithstanding the funeral took
place during one of the worst snow
storms imaginable-a storm unusual
for this section-the attendance was
very large, and the string of carriages
that followed the remains extended for
many blocks.
The pail bearers were Messrs. n. L.
Stevens, F. II. Kent, w. r. Whitney,
j. l.. Summers, Gov. +. S. Stoyer, and
DR.. q. w. Harrison. Undertaken Harry
Strong had charge of the funeral.
Hon. j. Lorenzo Hubbell, one Of the
bereaved brothers, after a hard drive
from his place of business at Granada,
Ariz., to Gallup, reached there in time
to catch the passenger train for this
city and arrived here this morning,
just in time to attend the last sad rites
over the remains of his beloved sister.

TERRY, THE TERRIBLE.
MeGovern and Bernstein in Squared
Circle Toniqht,


Philadelphia, Feb. 6.-For the first
time in long while Terry McGovern,
the former lightweight champion, is 20
be seen in the squared circle tonight.
Failing in his endeavors to secure a
return match with Young Corbett, 4"
the little Brooklyn fighter has decided
that 1t would be better to go against
some of the lesser lights of pugilism
rather than remain in complete idle
ness. His opponent tonight is to be
Joe Bernstein and the scene of the en-
counter will be Industrial hall The
Philadelphia law limits the bout to six
rounds with no decision.
The local sporting fraternity looks
upon Bernstein as an unworthy oppo-
nent for the former champion and as a
consequence is not attracting the at
tention that it would if the contestants
were more evenly matched. While
Bernstein in the course of his pugilis-
tic career has defeated some good men
OF his class he has at the same time
been vanquished by men of small repu-
tations, including Sammy Smith, the
local featherweight, and other men of
small caliber.
Both men have put the finishing
touches to their work of preparation
and appear to be in excellent shape for
the bout. A number of sporting men
have arrived from New York, Balti-
more and other cities to witness the
fight.

on the situation are being gone over

1t was given out that the Missouri,
Kansas & Texas road gave the freight

per cent, and the other four roads will
grant the same increase.
