So far as the REroRTK9 is able TO
learn those who had property In tho
burned area and adjacent thereto express
themselves rs well satisfied with the
city water pressure and with the work
of the fire department, at the fire of last
Sunday morning, ana this feeling seems
to prevail with other citizens of the
town who have expressed themselves
with regard to the matter. The Re-
PORTER has felt 1t its duty, on previous
occasions TO give the facts as to the
efficiency of the service rendered by the
city water works and these have not al
ways been plimentary. We are pleas

as free 10 do so as we have to speak
otherwise in the past. Now that it has

A terrible accident was that on Friday,
in the haibo of San Diego, Cal, by
which the United States gunboat "Ben-
nington" was destroyed by the explosion
of its boilers. One officer and 3S mem
bers of the crew were killed outright,
and scarcely one of the $50 men on
board escaped injury. Many were
hurled or forced to jump into the sea
by the terrific explosion which lifted
part of the deck and compelled the
beaching of the ship. at moment
when the warship, lying at anchor and
with her officers and crew quietly at.
tending to their duties on board was the
object of interest to hundreds of people
observing her on piers, pleasure boats
and passing ferry boats, cloud of steam
suddenly burst from a point just for
ward of the smoke stack, out of which
the spectators were Mortified to see
bodies and human fragments hurled
high in the air and scattered over the
surrounding water. The President was
shocked at the news. Of course a
searching investigation will be made.

A Sisters hospital for Roswell is
now an assured benefit. Father Her
bert, of St. Peters Chapel, has re-
| ceived a letter from Sister Superior
M Boniface. of Marshfield, Wis, Civ
| ing him authority to proceed with
| the work of making definite plans to
be submitted to the Sisters before
the contract is let.
In her letter Sister Boniface states
that she has forwarded the letters OF
the Roswell Commercial Club and
Father Herbert to the head officers
of their order, in Rome, and that the
answer has come to her to proceed
with the work of establishing a Sis
ters' hospital in Roswell, New Mexi
co. She thus forwards the order 10
the scene where operations are to
be active. The letter from headquar
ters stated that they would supply
sisters for the work here as soon as
they could get them, but that it would
not be before fall. All sisters have

in one of these hospitals.
The plans for the hospital will be
drawn within the coming week. 9th
er plans have been made, but they
are not what the sisters want. The
new plans will be sent to the sisters
for their approval or criticism.
Within two or three weeks two sis
ters will probably come to Roswell
to solicit subscriptions for the hcspi-
tai They expect to raise a large sum
among the citizens here, as the hos
pitaI will be for the benefit of the
whole community. The Roswell Club
lend every aid possible to push the
work along. The Sisters order will
put several thousand dollars into the
building.
AS soon as enough money is sub
scribed to make the plan a surety
the work will be commenced. Those
most interested expect to have the
structure completed and ready for
patients when the Sisters nurses
come in the fall. The building, furn-
ished. will cost about $4,000. 1t viii
be a large, substantial structure, pro-
badly of brick. 1t will be built on the
ten-acre tract that has been secured
for the purpose, FIVE blocks south OF
