A SECOND ACCIDENT.
Same Car Struck Mrs. Martha Allen in
 West End.

Same Car Struck Mrs. Martha Allen su West End.
 What curse, what evil fate clusters about car No. 19 of the Montgomery Street Railway Company?
 Street car men were asking each
 other that question last night when
 they met and discussed the desperate
 behavior of car No. 1s. It killed g.
 man in North Montgomery yesterday morning. And last night as a new crew was carrying car No. 1s to the car
 barns in West End 1t knocked down
 and painfully injured a lady who had desperately narrow escape from death under the rushing wheels of the car.
 Mrs. Martha Allen was the night vic- tim of the car. She was painfully fu-
 jured, but 1t is thought that no bones
 were broken. When car No. 19 struck
 her she was knocked off the track and not under the wheels. Otherwise an-
 other tragedy would have to be chron- icled.
 The car was being carried to the barns in West End at 7:30 o'clock. A new crew was fin charge. The conduc- tor and the motorman who had been on the car in the early morning when
 the car had killed Christopher Cassi-
 mus were still in prison. Conductor T. D. Looser of 520 Monroe Street was on the rear platform of the car and Motorman W. J. Grimm of Is King Street was at the controller. They had
 received orders to carry the car to the barn.
 Three blocks from the barn Mrs. AL len. who lives at 733 Clay Street at- tempted to cross the street. She had been over to a neighbours fer a few minutes. Mrs. Allen attempted to cross the track, but the car was nearer than she thought. She was struck and | thrown violently off the track. It was found that her worst injuries were the
 shock and a number of bad bruises Deputy Sheriff J. D. Clements was among the first to reach the scene of
 the accident He questioned the mo- torman. the conductor and Mrs. Allen
 to ascertain If the accident was caused by negligence on the part of the crew.
 It was his purpose to arrest the crew of the car if he found that they were responsible for the accident. He be-
 came convinced. however. that they were not at fault and after taking their | names and addresses he allowed the car men to go.

 The body will be taken to the home of hfs brother. 712 Jefferson Street at 10 o'clock this morning and will then be conveyed to St. Peter's Catholic Church. where funeral services will hs held. Father Eaton will ofiiciate.
 Many friends of the deceased and a number of curious persons visited the morgue of Cornorcr Tice to view the remains yesterday afternoon.
 Coroner Tfce said hat he saw no reason for holding an inquest as there were two eye witnesses to the trage- dy. No warrant has been sworn out against the men and unless the grand jury sholld act the motorman and conductor will 1 nall probability be re- leased
 Both passengers who were on the car say that the car was running at no unusual rate of speed and that the motorman applied his brakes and repeatedly sounded his gong.

 Gus Well, City:
 My Dear Little Friends--Some time past I received a letter from Mrs. J. M. Falkner enclosing S3.25, the pro- ceeds of an entertainment, of which you were members. and voluntarily do- mated to the Organized Charities. Sick ness prevented an earlier acknowl- edgement. In thanking you for the same we desire to express to you our sincere appreciation not only for your contribution which comes to us unso- licited, but also for the sympathy ex- pressed for the poor and needy.
 Tt Is noble and unselfish responses such as yours that give us courage to carry on the trying work of minister ing to suffering humanity.
 You will be glad to know that the money was given to poor woman to buy food for her three little ones. and when I told her from whence 1t came she requested me to say to you that each of you would always have the prayers of a poor woman who was struggling to provide for her little ones.
 Again thanking you for the kindly interest and support you have mani fested in this cause and trusting that it will ever remain ours in the future. I am.
 sincerely yours,
 "Gladden Harrison,

THE OFFICIAL BALLOT
WILL HAVE TO BE CLEAR
 ED UP.
Secretary sf state E. R. McDavid Sub nsits Questions to the Attorney
 General for an Opinion.

| Can the name of one man under the
 | new General Election Law be printed
 on the official ballot as the candidate
 ! for two different parties7
 1 when a man qualifies as a candidate | for a State or judicial ofice by meant of a petition how shall his name be | printed on the onicial ballot?
 These two questions have been pro- l pounded to Attorney General Massey wilson by Secretary of State E. R.
 lMcDayid. The Attorney General is | preparing an opinion in answer to them l which will be handed to the Secretary of State.
 | The first question is due to the fact | that the Populists and the Republicans have in some cases nominated the same man for the same ofice. For instance | in the Fifth District, B. W. Walker is the nominee of both the Republicans and the Popuiists. The question arises shall Captain Walkers name on the of- ficial ballot be printed as Populist or a Republican. or shall 1t be printed as a candidate of both parties? Will the | law permit the printing of one mans name twice. each time under different party emblem. From the wording of the law 1t would appear on first sight that the law does not allow this per- mission. In prescribing the printing of the ballots the law always speaks of "a party" The opinion of the Attor- | ney General will, however, settle the matter as far as the office of the Sec retary of State Is concerned.
 The other question arises from a lack of clearness in the terms of the law. When a man becomes a candidate for office by means of a petition signed by 300 names 1t doesn't prescribe how his name shall appear on the ballot. It does not say that a man shall have his name printed as a Democratic can didate just because he calls himself a Democrat. or that 1t shall be printed as a Republican candidate because he calls himself a Republican candidate in his letters to the Secretary of State. The certificate of the men who are entitled to have their names placed on the official ballot will be sent out to- morrow to the Probate Judges of the various counties of the State. The sit ution in the Ninth Judicial Circuit has not cleared up so far as the office of Secretary of State is concerned. Sec retary McDavid will certify the Dem ocratic candidates as they are certified to him. He can not do otherwise, as he must have out his certificates before the convention Is held on October 2s. at which the candidates to make the race for Solicitor and Judge will be named. The unsuccessful candidates before the convention will however have their names taken off the official ballot before the election.

ing which told of the passage of the
Sixth Judicial district bill by the SEN
ate. and the important amendment
which the senate added to the bill
that Roswell should be the headu,,ar.
tiers of the new district. With this
amendment the bill will be referred
to the house, but a motion to concur
is all that is needed and there is no
doubt but that the bill as amended
will be before the President for his
signature in a few days. 1t is we'll the
amendment was added to the bill.
While Roswell is the natural center
of the new district to be created. yet
by some hook or crook the headquar-
tiers of the district might have beer
placed elsewhere through local jeal-
ousy or prejudice. Now by the provis-
ions of the bill whatever counties the
supreme court Of the Territory may
place in the district Roswell will be
the head of the district. 1t is useless
to repeat the many advantages that
this will bring not only to Roswell
but to all eastern New Mexico. The
long and expensive trips of attorneys
court officials and litigants will soon
be a thing of the past, and the laws
delay" with an increased judiciary
will soon be reduced to the minimum.
At the same time Roswell will become
the residence of the court officials
for this district. AS in the case of all
measures there were knockers"
against this bill, and particularly
against the amendment, but the act
i've work of some enterprising citi-
zens here forestalled the effect of
these protests. The only effect was
to hold the bill up for awhile in the
senate.
The senate has treated us justly
in this matter, now may it do the
same in the statehood matter, and
may the Interior Department follow
the good example in the matter OF
the HOndo reservoir.
