A HORRIBLE DISCOVERY
WOMAN MURDERED AND BRUTALLY
 MUTILATED
Found in Nelson Avenue Rooming
 House.

Sunday morning there was dis covered in one of the tenements
 along Nelson avenue occupied by
 denizens of the half world, the de- composed remains of Victoria Vas quez, who had been brutally and shockingly murdered at least two weeks before, and had not been missed in all that period of time.
 The woman had been detained in the jail some months as wit ness against the murderers of Phil Woodin, who was murdered in August last, by five Mexicans, three of whom escaped into Mex leo, and were not apprehended The other two men were arrested and brought to the jail at the same time as the woman. Upon her evidence the five men were in dicted by the grand jury. The murdered man was sleeping with her in tent, and she stated that the five entered the tent and killed him. After the indictment she became hazy as to her identi- fication of the two men in custody. and could not positively testify that they were in the party that committed the crime. There was no use in going before trial jury with such a witness, so the district attorney moved for a continuance, hoping the other men may be and brought to trial later. The two in custody were released upon their own recogniz- ance, and the woman was dis charged, on the eleventh of Octo- Der. Shortly afterward she rented the room in which she was mur- iered, and was there plying her vocation.
 According to the testimony of others along the row of tenements

Reported Railway Changes Pending.

In railway circles there is a re-
 port that there will be general
 encouragement of time schedules
 on the Sixteenth of December. Nos.
 3 and 10, the through express
 trains between New Orleans and
 San Francisco are to be changed
 materially. To make the connec-
 tion at Benson the train between
 Nogales and Tucson will leave here at 10 o'clock in the morning instead of at o'clock, as hereto fore, and it will run through to Phoenix. The train on the Sono- ra railway will leave Guaymas five hours later than now, and reach Nogales at 9 o'clock in the morning instead of 4 o'clock, as at present, although it is intimated that the Sonora trains may return to the day run, and all passengers lay over night at the line city. Should trains coming from the north reach Nogales five hours later, it is very probable that there would be no possibility of crossing passengers at that late season at night, and the day run would be the only arrangement possible. It is to the benefit of always, to have the pas remain here over night; and if the arrangement is made that way it will gratify greatly everybody here. A train through to Phoenix would be very satis- factory.

committed by one of those released
 at the October term of court, or
 whether one or more of the three
 who were not apprehended but are
 under indictment, slipped across
 the line and committed the deed is matter of conjecture. As the premises occupied by the murdered woman are not more than three hundred feet from the international line 1t would have been an easy matter for the murderers to slip across the line. commit the fell deed, and then slip back to safety Tn Mexico, without the knowledge or cognizance of anyone; which seems to have been the case. No one has any doubt that one if not more of the five men indicted for the murder of Woodin com. mitted the murder, but there is not an iota of evidence to that effect and by the later murder there is obliterated all evidence of the mur. der at Mowry.

A School of Mines.

There has been sent out from Cananea the following very in- teresting information:
 Through an offer, which 1t is stated on authority of Mexican official, acceptance of has prac- tlcally been made to the National government by Col. w. c. Greene, Cananea will secure one of the most important universities of the Republic.
 The university will in nature be a National Mining College and will assemble from over the Republic young men who desire to perfect themselves in the study of all branches of the industry. While each state will have representation Tn scholarships, Sonora will re- ceive the particular advantages in such free scholarships as are awarded.
 The above is merely an outline of the plans as at present under stood. In addition to other en- dowments made upon the school

by Mir. Greene in association with
 the government he gives to the
 school splendid tract of ground containing about 16O acres. It covers the point immediately be- low the old Morrow residence. On this tract the college buildings will be erected. Attainment of the school for Cananea will be an inn mensely important step for the future Of the city and will do a great deal toward making it a center of educa ton as well as a great center of mining.

deceased was seen last on the after
 noon of Sunday, November 4th
 when she announced that she in-
 tended going to the bull fight at
 the ring on the Sonora side of the
 line. She was seen to enter hack
 and drive in that direction. It
 must have been after dark when
 she returned, and quite late, for
 none of the habitues saw her re- turn. Her non-appearance the following day, nor at any time afterward, attracted no attention, for she had announced her inten- tlon to return to Mowry; and her absence from her room was believed due to her having carried out the expressed intention. She was thought to have returned to her room late at night, packed her trunk, and taken the train to Pat agonia, before daybreak Monday morning.
 Sunday morning, the 18th, two weeks after the woman was seen going to the bullfght the agent of the tenement thought it about time to look for another months rent and he went there to collect. Finding the place locked and ap- parently without occupancy he applied to an officer, who broke in the door. A gruesome sight greeted their mortified gaze when they en- tered. The woman laid in the middle of the floor, with her head crushed in by a fatiron, and her throat cut with a sharp instru- ment. She had not been mur- dered without a struggle, for the room and it's contents looked as though a cyclone had gone through 1t.
 It is natural supposition that one of the murderers of Woodin | seized the opportunity to wipe out Ihe sole and only evidence of their former crime by the perpetration of this. With Victoria Vasquez dead there would be no chance that any of them would have to face trial jury, and they had no ,ompunction in killing her. Whether the terrible tragedy was

CHICAGO'S APARTMENTS

One OF the most remarkable features
Of the building operations In Chicago
for the past year is the amount OF part

has been carried on OH a scale Of un.
precedented magnitude, says Building
Manager and Owner.
II had been thought that fiat build

I'm isof the total OF the years operations
reached over sl4.OJ0.o0. compared with
s. 10000 for 1903 il was expected by
many that a slump would surely come
and that the figures for 1895 would show
a considerable falling on So far, how
ever. from that being the case, the fig-
ures OF the past year show the remark
able total Of nearly s22,oo0.ooo. taking
into account only building permits Of

both fats and stores. but these form
cnly a small proportion Of the total
It is evident from these figures that
the people of Chicago are inclining more
and more to residence IL flats. The total
Of house construction, including Only
reruntts above $500. amounted for the
wear 1865 to less than S3.0G10n the great
est percentage of house building having
been in the northwest section Of the
city.
Ii might be thought that. in view OF
the rapidity with which fat buildings
have been constructed during the year,
il would be difficult to Ill them, bu,
the contrary is the case. and all reports

Western Society of Engineers. the
writer attacks what he describes as a
popular but erroneous impression con-
cerning the durability of stone. and In

GLASS AS A POSSIBLE

Now Used in Many Other Ways, But IS
Yet Too Expensive to Sup

The prospects are that the time is not
far distant when people who live in
glass houses may throw all the stones
they care TO without fear of conse-
auences 10 their own domlciles. as there
are strong indications that the glass
house may be a reality before many
years have rolled by. 1t is a possibility
now, but would be rather expensive.
Glass paving bricks have been success
fully used. Hollow glass house bricks
are made; glass foundations are more
durable than stone; and there is glass
roofing. glass gas pipes. glass kitchen
ana bathroom equipments. and glass fur
niture.
The possibilities Of glass are Just be-
