ST l., B. G NJ RAILROAD,
There is tide in the affairs of
men, which when taken at its food,
leads on to fortune. sWhile this
quotation has been made the text
for commendatory harangues in
behalf of a thousand and one worth
less schemes and speculative enter
prises, its truth IS as apparent to-
day as when penned by the i'm
mortal Bard Of Avon. There are
tides in the affairs OF cities which
follow identical lines IS prophesied
for the individual. and Galveston
Is today confronted by an opportu-
nifty that comes with the promise
of what may in a large measure
contribute to her future prosperity.
We speak Of the Brownsville and
Mexican railway, which IS now
asking an entrance into the city.
Were It not that a truth demands
many repetitions before it is &C
cepted a reinstatement of some of
ifS advarfaoeS some Of the benefits
that will accrue to this city from
the entrance Of this road, would
not be required; but presuming
that possibly the full force of the
commercial significance of the en-
trance Of the new line may have
been overlooked, some of the argu-
ment is reproduced. This road will
open up a new country which is
naturally contributary to Calves
ton, but which NOW does little
business with us and will do less
if this road should conclude to
make its terminus at some other
point. The great Frisco system IS /
behind the enterprise and the
Frisco system has elaborated and /
Is working out one of the most |
gigantic immigration schemes that /
has ever been conceived, which .
mems that the new line will be
with settlers who will .
need just such equipment and mer-
as Galveston can supply; /
it means the bringing through this
port Of large number of immi-
grants; it means the opening up,
to the competitive trade pushers of
our city. of a vast territory now
purchasing merchandise and mar
keting products at more accessible
points; it means shops and depots
at Galveston, which while they
may not add materially to the list
of employed labor, will contribute
its quota to the number of steadily
the road will bring Gal
weston within trading distance OF
our sister republic, and the pos
sibility of building up business
relationship across the Rio Grande
is not such a remote contingency
as it might appear. 1t is not pro-
posed railroad, but a road COM
pleted in part, with extension I'M
der active construction.
These are hut fraction of the
benefits which may naturally be
looked for, and the fact that the
people of Houston are more than
for this road to make its
terminus in that city shows that
the business men of that city are
alive to an opportunity fraught
with so much in the way of trade

HUMPHREY GETS LIMIT
IN THE PENITENTIARY

The man Humphrey. who was tried
at Cortez for the murder of Mrs. Her
man and her son. Mr.. ingalls,. was
found guilty Of murder in the first
degree. The jury recommended that
he be given 80 years in the peniten.
tiary. and the court sentenced ac-
cordingly.
On the first ballot seven of the
1urymen favored death sentence, but
an agreement was soon reached as
stated above
The crime for which Humphrey
was convicted was one of the worst
in the history of Montezuma county.
1t happened last spring The Hermens
had been employed by Humphrey

mans were working on the cellar

Herman, his wife and her son had re-
turned from Cortez, after arranging
bond for his appearance to answer
to the charge of stealing that the muir

Jumped out of the wagon and made
