THE CITY COUNCILS
ELEGANT NEW QUARTERS

The new council chambers, on the
second floor of the new Stockard
building are being finished and will
soon be ready for occupancy. The
lighting fixtures were put in today.
A visit at the new room will convince
anyone that the new hall is a beauty,
both in finish and capacity. 1t is so
by 81 feet, and a better public hall
does not exist in the business portion
of Roswell. 1t win accommodate the
council and the citizens who attend
its meetings and will afford plenty
of room for the flood of oratory tnat
often breaks loose at the gatherings
of the city's wise men.
81 didn't want to rent the room to
the city, said Mayor Stockard to a
Record reporter this afternoon, be
cause 1 was afraid some one would
holler 'gra-a-aft,' but after the com
mittee in charge saw it, they insist
ed. They offered $50 per month, and
1 let them have it at $25 per month.
The city pays $50 per month for the
present crowded space"

tions gathered in and around the great
white Capitol building and Joined in
an impressive demand that the rum

of the temperance crusaders was
granted a hearing AID it is possible.

Last year a measure of this kind was
introduced by Representative Webber

1t Is estimated that there are now

TO TRY NEGRO OF THE
TWENTY-FIFTH INFANTRY

Washington, d. c., February IA
In accordance with the orders of
the War Department, Corporal Ed
ward L. Knowles, negro soldier of
the famous Twenty-fifth infantry will
be court martialed at Fort Sill, Okla
homa tomorrow. The charge which
Knowles will face is assault with in
tent to kill Captain Edgar c. Macklin
of the Twenty-fiftn infantry, who was
officer of the day at the time of the
Brownsville affair. AS a result of the
riots and the discharge of the negro
soldiers that followed the colored men
are said to have entertained a grudge
against Macklin.
The shooting of Captain Macklin
occurred on the night of December 81
last. Three snots were fired, two of
which struck the Captain and infiict-
ed serious wounds. The third shot
is not accounted for and it is believed
that the negro accidentally shot him
self in the struggle with Macklin.
The evidence against the negro is a
blood-stained blouse bearing his ini-
tials, which was found near the post
There was a bullet hole in the sleeve
and corresponding wound was found
in Knowles arm. Captain Macklin
Will testify that Knowles is of about
the same height as the man that shot
him and that his voice is like that of
his assailant. Another point in the
evidence against the negro is that ne
treated his wound secretly contrary
to the usual custom of soldiers, who
take advantage of any pretext for ask
ing TO be placed On sick leave.
The negro has declared from the
first that he is innocent and has said
that he can prove an alibi by sixteen
witnesses He declares tnat the
wound on his arm was caused by a
nail. 1t is declared here that Knowles
is wanted by the navy for desertion
and that he will be tried on that
charge in case he is acquitted of as
saulting Captain Macklin. Lieutenant
Hensley, Jr-. will be judge advocate
at the court martial.

Providence, r. l., Feb. IA new
attending the loss of the steamer
Larchmont in Block Island Sound
Monday night, when Captain McVey,
of the steamer Larchmont, early to-
day admitted that his life boat was
one of the first, if not the first. to
leave the sinking ship. This state
ment was made in reply to charges
by Fred Hiergsell one of the survi
vors, that the passengers were left
to shift for themselves, that the
ships crew crowded the boats with
out attempting to provide for the
passengers, and that Captain McVey
was the first to desert the ship.
McVey explained that while his
boat may have been the first in the
water. it was because he had a good
crew, and that he remained by his
ship until she went down. He said
that he made no move to get into his
boat until he had given orders to the
men to lower all boats and clear
away the RATS. He says his boat IN
the water was fastened to the ship
by a rope whose running gear be-
came fouled. and this was cut by the
boatswain who saw that as the ship
settled the boat would be drawn
down with it. The Captain claimed
he called upon the passengers to
jump into his boat, which would hold
%, but in the darkness and confu-
sion no one needed his summons. He
claims that his boat was driven from
the ship by the wind.
At eight o'clock this morning the
number of known dead stood at 13S.
OF these II bodies have been recov-
cred. with 40 identified. The weather
today moderated, and under the cir
cumstances there is little expectation
of more bodies being washed ashore
to-day.

Biq Orders for Cement Brick.

This mornings mail brought A L.
W. Nilsson, the Hontlo stone man,
an order for 10000 cement brick
to be made for building purposes at
Texico. This makes 100000 cement
brick this company has sold in Text
co and Farwell already this year, and
the Hondo company has also sold
the people there 81 carloads of sand

the best of evidence as to what the
people of other towns, and especially
the people from the older states think
of cement brick as a first class build
ing material.

New York, Feb 14.-Because of
the serious illness of Mrs. Joseph B.
Bolton, wife of a juror, there is fear
that there will be a mis-trial in the
Thaw case. Mrs. Bolton, WHO is SIS
years old, is suffering from double
pneumonia, and is now passing thru
the crisis of the disease Mrs Bolton
passed a restless, sleepless night
and her attending physician says she
has no better than an even chance
of recovery.
The Thaw trial was in session only
a few minutes this morning, when
information regarding the condition
of Mrs. Bolton caused Justice Fitz-
gerald to order a recess until two
this afternoon DIR. Evans was called
to the stand and his direct examila
ton by Delmas was resumed He
stated that during his three visits to
Thaw he formed an opinion as to
his mental condition. This opinion
was formed on oral statements which
were very essential. Attorney Je
rome said he would offer no objection
to the witness relating the converse
ton with Thaw during his first three
visits as a result of which the alien
list formed an opinion that the de-
fendant was of unsound mind. Evans
was about to relate the conversation
when the recess was ordered.
LATER Mrs. Bolton, who had
been unconscious all forenoon, died
Just as her husband reached her bed
side.
The Thaw trial was postponed I'M
til Monday morning. 1t was agreed
upon motion of District Attorney Je-
rome, Thaw's attorneys concurring,
that the other eleven jurors should
not be kept under lock and key any
longer, but should be allowed to re-
turn to their homes pending the re-
sumption of the trial Monday morn
