MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP.

LONDON, Nov. 13.-The> commit
tees of the London county council
are resuming consideration of the
question of London's electrical supply
with the object of finding, if possible,
some way out of the present confusion
caused by the multiplicity of autnori-
ties 1t is not improbable that bill
will be presented to parliament next
session setting forth the remedies
which the council considers should be
adopted. In the opinion of the coun-
ell, or at least a large section Of it, the
council ought to be the lighting au-
thority for London, and many MEM
bers are in favor of the council sup
plying electricity in bulk by arrange
ment with the borough councils. The
capital invested n the borough coun-
ellis in generating works amounts to
nearly s15.OOO.0U0.

43 Miles of Books.

LONDON, Nov. 13.-The problem of
the British museum library is a very
serious one. 1t has already forty
three miles of shelves loaded with
books, and every year the collection
is augmented by very close to hum
dred thousand volumes and over a
quarter Of a million of newspapers.
no system of selection is admissible.
The idea of the library is that it shall
possess a copy of every book published
in the islands and as many more as it
can get that are published abroad. An
immense amount of space is wasted by
the old three volume novels, which oc-
cupy just three times as much room
as is necessary. The space taken by
the accumulation of newspapers has
already grown beyond the possibilities
of the edifice in Bloomsbury and a
special building has been erected at
Hendon, where papers have been
stored.

he Would Have No Worries of Life There.
Negro Says.

Marlin, Tex, Feb.-There is a
negro in the Falls County jail who
is a very hard one to please; at
least, he has a strange and quite
original desire as TO the manner of
spending his future life. The negro
is known as Fort Worth Derby"
and is charged with burglary COM
mitted in Marlin some weeks since.
His pal was on trial yesterday in
the District Court and the Fort
Worth negro was placed on the
stand, and he gave entirely diff
fercnt testimony TO that given by
him TO the grand jury when the
cases were first being inquired into.
While being returned to jail he was
reminded by an officer that he had
committed the additional offense Of
perjury by telling two different
stories under oath as to the same
transaction. The negro seemed
somewhat elated that he had COM
mitted another offense against the
law, and stated to the Sheriff that
he was wanting TO get a good long
term in the penitentiary, that he
wanted fifty years if he could get
such a term. Replying to a ques-
ton of the officer, the negro stated
further that he thought if a fellow
was sent to the penitentiary for
long term, say for life. his troubles
would be at an end.
- / would rudder be in de pen

vittals and clothes, and get 'em

truth, / AIM worrying fer havin'

Heraclio Franco and his brother
Jose Franco, two prominent resi-
dents of Guanacevi, Durango, were
murdered Sunday night by un-
known parties. Their remains we're
found several hours after the crime
was committed, and no clue has
been found to the assassin. The
crime has caused considerable
excitment in Guanacevi and other
towns where the Franco brothers
were well known.
Saturday morning the jefe po-
litico Tamazunchale. San Luis
Potosi, whose name is Jose Maria
Godinex, was assaulted BY three
men on the road near the Omajac
river. One of the aSsailants, Lean

and inflicted three very dangerous
wounds. None of the assailants
has as yet been captured, but
rurales are hunting them and it is
expected that they will be cap
tured in few days. The condi-
ton of the jefe is very serious,
and physicians despair of his re-
covery.

HARLINGEN BRANCH.
Ravages of Field Mice.

Winter If often a season Of starry
alton with the volcs, or meadow
mice, for those that dwell far from
corn and grain fields do not lay by
enough provisions to last them un-
Ill spring, so they are often forced
to live on food that they would
otherwise refuse. If we examine
the highway thickets after a par
ucularly cold season, we will find
that the trunks of many small sap
lings and bushes have been girdled
close to the ground, and we will
also discover quantities of the out
side bark laying where it has been
dropped after the mice have eaten
the nutritious part. In a brush
lot, where workmen have lately
cut away the underground, the
mice have held high carnival.
They have stripped the popular
twigs of bark, torn into the stag
horn sumach heads to reach the
seeds, and devastated every stalk
of book while searching for the
fruit. Hazel thorn and raspberry
bushes, wild choke-cherry, thorn
apple, sumach and apple trees,
have all contributed a part of their
covering to the support of these
waits of nature, until spring shall
have sent them an abundance of
green food. Alden Loriug, in

 It is understood that there are new

 SURVEYS OF ROUTES,
One Connects With s. p. and Other Win E. P. G s. What Railroad Will Be Built Into New Country soe', is Foregone Conclusion.

!. '. Johnson. elected county sur veyor in November but not seated by the Board of Supervisors. is finish ing preliminary survey for a rail roea out of Paradise. Two surveys have been underway, one to the near est point on the Southern Pacific and the other to connection with .he E.
 P. & S W.
 That one of these lines will be built there is no doubt fn view of the large importance the Chiricahuas are taking on as ore producers and in
 view of the rapidly growing need of
 the section for railroad facilities.
 When here recently M.. Johnson
 stated he was not at liberty to say
 for whom he was making the present
 surveys. but added that tue work was b.oing done for neither the E. P
 x S " nor the Southern Pacific.
 It is believed that either the Koran "a Circle crowd CT Tucs0: capitalists That a railroad for the care of the
 traffic of the California mining dis trict and others in the Chiricahuas will of necessity come within the 1 course of few years is foregone 1 conclusion. It ifs said that fairly good gra6es can be secured and that a line will not ne difi2uiy of con struction. That it would be a payer almost from the start is an opinion ad- vanced that finds backing in the bright outlook prevailing throughout
 the range at this time.

 learn after he gets there that he has
 got to put his children fn school and educate them or move on to some other less progressive community. ''Mr. President, the people of that Territory are not an ignorant people.
