the lamps in the overturned cars
and had the flames communicated
with the OH they would have been
difficult to extinguish.
When all of the passengers had
been accounted for they boarded the
engine cab and the two box cars and
were taken to Servlleta. The woman
passenger was allowed to ride in the
cab. Other passengers climbed In
side the box cars which were filled
with sacked -four and still others rode
on the top of the car. A special train
was sent out from Alamosa to finish
the run to Santa Fe and a wrecking
train from the same place cleared
away the debris. It was l o'clock
this morning before the extra train
reached here.
Walter Fitzpatrick and James D.
Mccormick, two of the passengers
who were injured in the wreck, came
on through last night to Santa Fe, and
were interviewed this morning by &
reporter of the New Mexican. They
place the blame for the accident to a
broken rail rather than the spreading

and executive departments in New
Mexico.
In graduating from Columbia Law
School, he took the first prize in poll
tical science and the degree of l.. l..
B. Cum laude" with especial honor.
He mas since received the degree of
Doctor of Law from Kenyon College,
in Ohio, and Colorado College, of Colo
rado
AS to constitutional matters, the
first book that he wrote was on the
constitution of the United States, en-
titled, "The constitution VS.. the Ar
ticles of Confederation published in
1868. This received the highest en-
dorsement from Presidents Fillmore,
Garfield and Arthur; Vice Presidents
Colfax and Wilson, Secretary Stanton,
Governors Morgan and Geary, Sena-
tors Conkling, Chandler, Logan, Wade,
Cameron FentOn, etc, and was wide
ly circulated by Republican commit
tees in the campaign Of that year,
when the doctrines of the constitu-
tion and the proposed amendments
were being debated. In the New
York Legislature he was the fathe-
OF the constitutional amendments of
1875, reporting on thor necessity and
introducing the bills for he Consti-
tutional Commission in lS72 having
charge Of the amendments duing 9th
sessions of 1878 and 1874, and writing
the phamplet which was used before
the people to secure their adoption.
at the request of the Council of Poll
tical Reform.
From the beginning, he has been a
consistent supporter of statehood for
New Mexico. He was its first out
spoken advocate after the failure of Mr..
Elkins bill in 1875. In letters to the
New York Tribune and the Mail 4
Express. he claimed statehood as a
right and argued the ability and
worthiners of New Mexico to assume
1t, as early as 1884. Alone at So
corro and Las Cruces and with Judge
Axtell at Silver City. he sounded the
first notes of the new campaign and
then after the convention of 1889 and
1890 had done its work, in the last
week before the vote on the constitu-
ton, he closed the campaign at the
Joint debates with Messrs. Childers
and FERGUSON at Las Vegas and Ger
rilos. and at the great final meeting
at Albuquerque.
His official letter to the Senate
Committee on Territories, dated June
1892, was the first systematic marsh
aling of the facts and the arguments
in favor of statehood, and has been
the store hou7e of information from
which all subsequent speeches and
writings have drawn most largely
Every year since then, he has insisted
in the Trans Mississippi Congress on
the passage Of resolution favoring
statehood, and has made addresses
there which have reached and inau
enced the entire West.
Altogether it would be hard to
find a man anywhere in the country
so we'll equipped, by education, actual
official experience and high American
ideals of government to take part in
framing a constitution, as l.. Bradford
Prince.

Weeks Hack.
To the city court yesterday the jury
in the case of the State against G.. r.
Anglin, after remaining out but few
minuteF, returned a verdict of not
guilty, and Mr.. Anglin ia thus exon
Grated of the charge of taking a sack
of silver from Weeks hack, IN which
he rode from the dell to the city on
Friday last. It seems that Mr.. G.. D.
Jones had previously occupied the
hack in a ride from the city to the
Seaboard depot Friday afternoon, hav-
ing with him a sack of silver, about
500. Some time later tina hack was
driven to the dell, without a passenger,
Mr., Anglin having engaged it. A me-
gro ball game was being played there,
and the chief witness against Anglin
was negro basebalIist who swore he
saw Mr.. Anglin take the money from
the hack. The Jury returned verdict
of not guilty.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by infamed condi
ton of the mucous lining of the Eustach'
ian Tube. When this tube is infiamed
you have a rumbling sound of imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrb,
which is nothing but an intiamed con.
dition of the mucous surfaces.

New institution viii Begin Business
Here Shortly.

The First National Bank of Ameri
Gus will open it's doors for business on
or about July 18th, and thus another
financial enterprise starts upon pros
porous career in Americus. ALI ar
rangements to that end have been COM
pleted, it was stated yesterday.
Mr.. M. M. Lowrey, who will be pres.
ident Of the new bank, came up from
Dawson for the purpose of securing q
residence here and making other ar
rangements for removal to Amerlcus.
Mr.. Crawford WheatIey will be vice.
president, and Mr.. r. E, McNuIty
cashier of the new bank,
The capital stock will be 800, O0O all
of which has been subscribed long
since. The charter has been obtained
already, and the government bonds to
secure circulation have been purchased.
In fact, all preliminary details for the
Opening of the bank are complete.
The new bank will begin business in
the building formerly occupied by the
Bank of Amerlcus. Among the stock
holders are many prominent business
men of Amerlcus and other neighbor-
ing cities, and the new institution will
doubtless enjoy prosperous career.
Mr.Lowrey is an experienced and sue
cessful banker, while both Messrs.
Wheatley and McNulty have had ex-
perience in that business as well.
