The Bowling Green T1mes of Jan
%, contained the following which will
be of interest to many people here:

of Mrs. A manda Griffith of this city

residence in this city by Rev. " ],
Patrick at o'clock Wednesday af-
ternOon. Mr.. Griffith was an attorney
by profession having studied law in
ST. Louis. He practiced MS profession
at Roswell, n. NJ, and later at Tulsa
Okla. His health began to decline rap
idly at the last named place and he

i ors with the destruction of property
| by the use of explosives in order to
prejudice public opinion against the

the bull7pens established by state and

had been subservient to the operat-
ors. Colorado he said, sis as mean
as all other states boiled down. Corpo-
rations control the courts there, de-
lbauch the legislature and run cleo
tions to suit themselves
He spoke in favor of closer relation
ship between the Western Federation
and the United Mine Workers; thank
ed the convention not only for finan
cial, but moral support as well, and
asked that all coal miners have their
contracts expire at the same time so
they can give mutual support.
President Mitchell addressed the
convention after Haywood closed. He
declared that he himself opposed sym
pathetic strikes. should the Western
Federation ask us to go on strike
to aid their strike, we would naturally
ask what will we get out of it, what
good will accrue to us. l do not see
that it would do us any good to have
the metaliferous miners strike if we
coal miners struck. Coal can be min
ed when gold miners are not work
ing, but gold cannot be mined by coal
Miners He thought, however, that a
tween the United Mine Workers and
the Western Federation and suggest
ed that a commission should define
what these relations should be.

Washington, Jan. 25.-A general
rumor was in circulation about the
senate end of the capitol today to the
effect that what amounts to practical
ly an assurance has been given TO
Governor Curry, National Committee
man Solomon Luna and other citizens
of New Mexico who are now in Wash
ington, that a bill granting statehood
to New Mexico alone will be allowed
to pass during the short session of
the Sixtieth congress.
This assurance, according to tne
rumor, is in return for the agreement
of the people of New Mexico to let
the statehood agitation drop for this
session and until after the presiden-
tial election. 1t has been reported
that something like 100 New Mexicans
have been getting ready to make a
trip to Washington to importune
congress for a statehood bill this
winter.
1t is asserted that in return for the
assurance given them, Governor Cur
ry and Mr.. Luna have agreed to rec
ommend that the movement be held
in check.
There nave been several informal
conferences between Senator Bever-
idge chairman of the senate commit
tee on territories, Speaker Cannon
and leaders in the senate on the state
hood matter. While it is stated that
no definite assurance has been given
the New Mexicans as to a statehood
bill in the next session of congress,
It is admitted that there has been a
determination that no statehood legis-
Iation will take place at this session.
The house committee on territories
will begin hearings next Tuesday on
the statehood bill, and members of
the New Mexico Statehood League
now in Washington will appear. Chair
man Hamilton, however, has remark
ed that ne docs not think these hear
ings will take up much time"
It-is reported that Governor Curry
has been informed by Speaker Can
non that, in the speakers opinion, it
would be unwise to press the state
hood question too vigorously on the
eve of a presidential campaign.

noon today. The ceremony was per-
formed in the presence of about $50
guests in the salon of the residence.
Miss Vanderbilt was accompanied to
the altar by ner elder brother, Cor
nelius Vanderbilt, and the Count was
accompanied by his best man, Count
Sigray. The wedding ceremony was
performed by Mgr. NJ. J. Lavelle, rec
tor of ST. Patrick's Cathedral
Great crowds gathered outside the
residence, but there was no trouble.
A force of a hundred policemen kept
the crowd moving, and while they had
a chance to see many of the guests
they could catch no glimpse of the
interior of the house.
(This probably explains the term
"a quiet wedding''-one where the
police do not have to be called in.

AIamogordo, n. M.,-The dead body
of -|One Eyed joe or Blind Joe, .
as many called him, has been buried
and all that was mortal of one OF the
worst indians in the territory has
been laid away.
The chase after Joe, who murder
ed Don Mclean, the cowboy VINO
caught him skinning a stolen beef,
was one of the most sensational il
the annals of New Mexico, and re-
wives a recollection of western bord-
er days.
A posse of five Apache indians and
sheriff Denny took the trail of the
murderer at the reservation and
worked their way south to a point
east of Alamogordo, where later they
charge of ranger Dudley. Then two
bloodhounds arrived from Santa Fe
and were driven south to take the
trail. To the Apaches is due the ere
dit of following the trail of the MUIR
derer and locating him 81 miles be-
low Alamogordo at a point known as
Grapevine canyon. The indians re-
fused to continue the man hunt so
long as their pale face brethren par
ticipated and as a result sheriff Den
ny called off the hunters and cowmen.
When located the murderer was eX
hausted and unable to go any furth-
er. His squaw was faithful to him to
the last. Upon being commanded to
surrender he replied with a shot from
his rifle. The indian posse returned
the fire and the murderer dropped at
the first volley, his body being rid
died with bullets.
The body of the murderer, strapp
ed to a pack horse, his squaw rid
ing alongside, was brought into Ala
mogordo and held at the county Jail
until buried.
Indian agent Carroll at the rese-va-
ton states that the dead indian was
continually in trouble and was dis
liked by the balance of the tribe.

Portland, Me-, Jan. PA fire that
district of this city and caused dam
age estimated at over 100000, was
confined to the block in which it
started this morning, after ten hours
fighting by Portland firemen, aided
by men and apparatus from several
other cities. The fire started in the
wholesale dry goods store of Milliken.
Cousins & Co., and it was in their
half of the building that the greater
part of the loss was sustained. Later.
when it was thought that the fire was
under control, the other half of the
building occupied by A. F. Cox &
Sons, was invaded by the flames,
which made their way through the
roof and part of the wall simultan,
eously, and a $3.50, 900 stock of boots
and shoes was ruined. Eight or ten
men had narrow escape from being
buried under the falling walls.
The fire assumed such proportions
that Mayor Leighton called for help
from ten cities of Massachusetts
New Hampshire and Maine.
Bad Fire at Chicago.
Chicago, Jan. 27.-One fireman is
supposed to have been killed and
more than a score of others injured
and property valued at half million
dollars was destroyed in a fire which
devastated the Mayer building, a sew
en- story brick building and the Ho-
tel Florence, at 163-170 Adams street
early this morning. The fire broke out
il the basement of the Mayer build
ing and spread so rapidly that when
the first detachment of firemen arriv-
ed tkc entire building was in flames.
A strong north winds swept the fire
to the adjacent hotel and in few
minutes it was also a fiery furnace
The walls of both structures collaps-
ed about an hour later, carrying
down an entire company of firemen.
All except James Gallagher were res
cued. His body is believed to be in
the ruins.
Famed by forty-mile gale. the
fire scattered burning embers about
the southern portion of the Loop dis
trict, endangering score of struct-
ures. Twenty guests of the hotel,
four-story structure, were reused
from their beds by policemen and fire
men. All the inmates are believed to
have escaped.
Adjoining the burning building on
the east is the sixteen-story building
of the Corn Exchange National Bank
The new sky-scraper was given a Sc
we're test, but with the exception of
some temporary woodwork resisted
the flames successfully.
The complete fire department of the
downtown and wholesale district was
called out, and the firemen swarmed
upon the roofs and fire escapes near
by the building pouring water upon
the flames from these vantage points.
Dun & Co., printers, occupied four
floors of the Mayer building. Their
damage amounted to over S15o,000.
The other occupants of the building
were Dennis, Page & Co., electrotyp-
ers: johnson, Koch & Quinn, book
