with a strong draft searching their
bodies, and from which there is no
escape. A bill providing for storm

WIND DIRECTION SAVED
PROPERTY FROM FLAMES.

Boston, April lb.-MiIIiOns OF dol
lars worth of property was endan-
gered today by fire in the Central
wharf warehouse, but owing to the
fact that the wind was blowing in the
direction of the harbor, the firemen
were able to confine the flames and
prevent the spread of the fire towards
the city. The fire started in the oil
refining plant of Howe, French & Co.
and was caused by the explosion of
an oil tank. Several drays laden with
WOOL cotton and general merchandise
were set on fire and dozen horses
were so badly burned that they had
to be shot. Several drivers were
slightly burned. The property loss
is estimated at 100000.

about the time Cortelyou went TO the
treasury department An old firm OF
book publishers in Boston, which had
made money for many years, was
looking for the right kind of a young
man to take up the heat and burden
OF the work. The partners were
growing old. The place of manager
was offered to Hitchcock. He thought
II over and declined.
Money is not the only thing TO be
considered" Hitchcock replied, when
asked why. THE president and Mr..
cortelyou have given me a chance to
show what / can do. | owe some
thing to them"
The secret of HitchcOck's success
is plain work. He is at work at 9
a. IN. and often burns the midnight

On calling the council to order.
Mayor Mckee announced that Col ID.
X. B. Sellers had requested to ad-
dress the council. The business of
the colonel was to present the council
with a petition of several hundred
names fayoring the changing of the
name of Railroad avenue. and the
colonel had with him some supporters
or the movement equally as enthus-
iastic as himself. Among these was
DR.. w. q. Tight, president of the
University, and on the close of Mr..
Sellers remarks, DIR. Tight addressed
the council.
The colonel and the doctor agreed
that the name was misnomer and
should be changed. The colonel said
that he had just returned from Colo
rado and that everywhere he had
been boosting Albuquerque. and
everywhere he had had trouble eX-
planning TO the people that Railroad
avenue, Albuquerque. was the main
thoroughfare and business street OF
the town. They always confused Il

CONGRESSMAN
FAvR0T NOT
GUILTY
Louisiana Grand Jury Fails
to Find That He Killed
DR.. AldriCh.

New Orleans, April 16.-The grand
jury of East Baton Rouge parishy
after hearing all the witnesses in the
case, failed to return a bill against
Hon. George X. Favrot, member of
congress for the Sixth district of
Louisiana, charged with the murder
of DIR. r. II. Aldrich. Mr.. Favrot,
who has been in Jail since the killing
of Aldrich, which occurred November
I, the day after his election to con.
gress, was at once released.
The killing of Aldrich was a sensa-
tional one, which at the time attract
ed general attention throughout the
country as being a direct appeal TO
the higher law. The two men, Fav-
rot and Aldrich, had been close
friends from boyhood. Both were
natives of Baton Rouge; they were
of the same age; they had attended
high school together, and graduated
from Tulane university, at New Or
leans. the same year.
Favrot entered the legal profess
sion and met with great success there,
as well as in the field of politics. He
was elected district attorney, and two
years ago district judge. While still
holding the latter office he announced
himself candidate for congress
against Sam NJ. Robertson, who had
iNiu Nilt scat Iol SlAlttn years. II dN-
rot beat Robertson in the democratic
primary, was nominated and elected.
Was Family Physician.
Aldrich entered the medical pro-
fession, achieved great success, and,
although a young man, was regarded
as one of the leading physicians of
Baton Rouge. He was the family
physician of the FaVrots. Both men
were married and had children,
on the day after his election to
congress FaVrot met Aldrich as the
latter was coming from his office and
shot him twice killing him instantly
1t was found that Aldrich was armed
at the time and that he had been
warned of Favrot's intention to kill
him.
At first Favrot refused to talk be-
yond saying that he had killed his
friend for good and sufficient reasons
Later it was published that he had
killed Aldrich for foul and slanderous
statements made against Favrot's
wife in the presence of several
friends. 1t developed that Aldrich
had tried to see a friend to inter-
cede in the matter, but had been un-
able to do so, and met Favrot before
an explanation could be made, with
the result of the shooting and his
death.

FIRE DESTROYING TIM
BER IN GUADALUPE
MOUNTAINS

Carlsbad, y. NJ. April l6.-Fire
has been raging for the past fifty
hours in the Guadalupe mountains,
which can be plainly seen from Carls-
bad. No message has been received
as IL is presumed that everyone in
that sections of the country is busily
engaged in fighting the flames. 1t
is estimated that thousands of dol
lars worth of timber has been burned,
aside from a total destruction to the
sheep and goat range. The commun-
ity is thickly settled and a guess as
to whether any lives were lost would
be purely speculative at this time.
