1t Stood the Test.

The floors of the new State Capitol have been tested for the purpose of ascertaining their condition, and whether ther is any truth in the charges made that they will not sus- tain the weight required. The re- suits obtained were eminently satis- factory. The specifications call for floors that will sustain q pressure of from 150 to 800 pounds ta the square foot, and the tests went as high as 7S0 pounds without d defiection that could have been discovered by mi croscope The first test was made in the law library, where the middle span was covered with brick to the depth of thirty inches. The span is 13 1-2 feet by 2S 12 feet Fifty=seyen men then mounted the pile of bricks. waking a total live weight of i43,7l0 pounds, or an average of $50 pounds to the square foot, where only 300 pounds is required. The average be- fore the men were placed on the weight was 321 pounds. The next test was made in the committee room on the third floor where 344 sacks of cement were piled up in space by b feet and forty men, all that could find a foothold, placed upon that, making an average of 731 pounds 10 the square foot The test was an ad- solute one, and gauges were arranged so that any dehection would be read fly detected. Nothing whatever could be seen in the first test indicative of the least sagging, but in the last some thought they saw Reflection about the width of half pencil mark. It is claimed that the floors will give an inch before breaking. but it is pointed out that most stupendous weight would be required to produce such a strain-a weight that no floor could ever be called upon to sustain. All expressed themselves as highly pleased with the tests.

Coa.. sIauEh,ered By SANTA Re rreIn,

The Santa Fe train south bound Mon
day ran through a herd of goats near
MontOya, in Dona Ana county and did
fearful slaughter. The place where the
herd of goats was struck was on an
embankment with water on both sides
Of the track along the right of way.
A little Mexican boy was driving the
herd. The engineer .whistled re peat
eddy, but many Of the goats refused to
get off the track, and before the train
could be stopped about 100 of the ami
mails had been mangled.
The pilot Of the locomotive and the
trucks of the cars bore portions of bod
les, and the sight along the track was
sickening, There were goats in every
conceivable stage Of mutilation. Scores
were not killed, although frightfully
mangled. No effort was made by the
tralnmen to kill the suffering animals
and the passengers had no time to dc
il, though many Of them wanted, to put
the wounded ones to death. The cries
of the goats resounded, while the LITTLE
herder was heart broken and crieC
most pitifully.
