liminary hearing of Arthur C. Adams,
a young man who is accused of MUIR

miles northwest of Melrose, on Christ

."BLAcK HAND" USES DYN-
MITE IN SCRANTON, PA

Scranton, Pa, jan 19.-An eXplos-
ion of dynamite, placed presumably by
the BLACK Hand" gang, blew up the
macaroni factory of Nicholas Fazio
today. Fazio and family with -four en-
ployes who were sleeping in tie rooms
above were buried in the wrecKage,
sustaining serious injuries. Theswin-
dows We're blown out of buildings two
hundred feet away from the factory.
The failure of two sticks of dynamite
to explode saved that section of the
city from serious wreckage and per-
haps wholesale slaughter of human
lives. Seven Italians are under arrest
suspected of the outrage. Three years
ago the place was dynamited, after Fa-
zio, who is wealthy, had refused re-
peated demands of the ''BlacR Hand
for money, Two age now serving
time for being connected with that af-
fair. The result of Fazio's testimony
given at the trial is supposed to have
resulted in today's plot.

GOVERNORS MESSAGE
TO- THE LEGISLATURE

To the Gentlemen of the Council and
House of Representatives of the
38th Legislative Assembly of the
Territory of New Mexico:-
1t becomes the duty of the Governor
of New Mexico, upon the convening
of the legislature, to furnish such in
formation as he has at his disposal
concerning the condition of the terri
tory and to make such recommenda-
tions concerning new legislation as
he may deem advisable.
1t is a great pleasure for me to meet
you and assure you that it will be
my high ambition to cooperate with
you in every possible way to secure
good legislation for the advancement
the condition of the people.
During the past two years the terri
tory of New Mexico has increased in
population more than 100000 and to-
day we have, conservatively estl-
mated, a population of 100000.
The panic last year, which wrought
so much damage throughout the coun
try, affected New Mexico very little.
L know of only one business failure
of any Importance and there was not
a single failure among the banking
institutions organized under the terri
toriaI or national laws. The cattle
and sheep industry suffered some, but
conditions have improved and every
thing now indicates that the present
year will be a very prosperous one.
New towns have been built up; rail-
roads are being extended; new irriga-
ton enterprises are being built; four
or five large irrigation enterprises are
under way, while we have under con-
struction, in addition, the Government
project known as the Elephant Butte
dam, above Las. Cruces on the Rio
Grande, which, when completed, Will
have cost more than eight millions of
dollars and which will be one of the
world. Its construction will not only
give employment to thousands of peo-
pie during the next few years, but
will put 10000 acres of land under
cultivation.
Our assessed valuation has in
creased to $50 100000, and l am rea-
sonably sure that with a fair assess
ment, which we hope to have, the as
sessed valuation will be over S6O,O00,-
900 for the ensuing fiscal year. The
territorial tax rate of 13 mills on each
one hundred dollars is the lowest for
the past ten years and if the legisla-
ture practices rigid economy we shall
be able to further reduce the tax rate
during the coming year.
The election of last fall passed off
quietly, and 1 have not heard a single
complaint from any source about il
legal voting. 1t is very creditable to
our people and goes a long way to
show that the people of New Mexico
are capable of governing themselves.
1 sincerely hope that the present,
and as 1 hope the last legislature of
the territory of New Mexico, will pass
such laws as will be beneficial and
reflect credit upon yourselves.
We have every reason to believe
that New Mexico at last is to be given
her rights and that statehood is very
near at hand. The recent rapid in
crease in population, coupled as it
has been with corresponding in
crease in wealth and a far-reaching
development that has made itself felt
in every industry, has drawn the at
tention of the Nation to this territory.
The old-time antagonism to New Mex

MESSINA ON FIRE, CITY
Is BURNING UP.

MeSSina, Jan. ia serious fire
broke out today among The ruins OF
the earthquake wreckage in this city,
the flames spreading despite the work
of the soldiers to check them, and the
burning flesh is mingled with the
smoke and it is feared that persons
still alive are being consumed. The
Duke of Genoa made a heroic rescue

a way through the burning ruins to

leo which has existed in the past, has
in a large measure disappeared. The
| President of the United States has
given and is giving his hearty support
to our cause. The President-elect has
also used his great influence in oul
i behalf; and with the majority in both
house and senate pledged to support
| our bills we have cause to hope that
| not only is this the last legislative
of the territory of New Mexico but
assembly of the territory of New
Mexico but before your deliberations
have come to a close an enabling act
| will have been signed by the Presi-
dent of the United States
A great deal of hard work has been
and is being done by citizens of New
Mexico to secure the passage of this
bill and, although the prospect of
early success is now more favorable
than ever before, it behooves you as
the representatives of the people of
New Mexico to do everything in your
power to forward our common cause.
|, therefore, urge that at the earliest
nit by telegraph a joint memorial,
petitioning the Senate and the House
of Representatives to pass the state
hood bill.
TERRITORIAL FINANCES.
On December 1st, 1906, the COM
mencement of the 5Sth fiscal year,
the cash balance in the treasury
amounted to $3.50, 100000; receipts for
the past two years, $1,77S,512.36, and
the disbursements for the correspond
ing period, $1,711, ,274.53, leaving on
hand cash balance in the various
funds amounting to $427 ,23S.73, which
is $S7,237.S3 in excess of the balance
in the treasury two years ago.
During the past two years the ter
ritory has issued bonds in the sum of
$3O5, 100000
The territory during this time paid
off $125,OO0 of it's outstanding bonded
debt, and $4,000 will be paid this
present month.
The above constitutes the entire
bond issues of the territory that will
mature before the year 1919.
All of the six per cent bonds have
been redeemed, so those outstanding
at present carry a four and five per
cent rate, and the four per cent bonds
are selling at par.
The territorial tax rate has been
reduced to thirteen mills, and in view
of the increase in assessed valuation
for the present year, combined with
an economical administration of our
financial affairs, a still further re-
duction in the rate should be accom-
plished for the ensuing year.
The proceeds of a one-mill levy
for the 59th fiscal year amounted to
about S3S,OOO, and the territorial
auditor estimates that in view of our
increased valuations, a one-mill levy
will yield, during the present year,
about $4,000.
The territorial tax rate of thirteen
mills is the lowest in the history of
the territory for the past ten years
The total outstanding territorial
debt at the present time amounts to
81 ,023 100000 and as already stated
$4,000 of that amount will be paid
isthis year.
The sinking funds in the treasury
! for the redemption of bonds amount
to SCI ,6S0.S2, and when deducted from
the outstanding bonds leaves $751;
| 319.1S, which represents the net in
debtedness of the territory.
| It is certainly gratifying to know

obliss Her Father.
Haydn married not the girl he was
In love with, but her sister Haydn.
you should take my oldest daughter"
said Father Keller. the barber. and as
Keller had dsne good deal for Haydn
the composer felt that be must sacri-
Zee his affection on the altar OF duty
and oblige the old man. AT the time
Of the marriage, in I760, Haydn was
twenty-nine, while his Anna Maria
was thirty-two. There does not appear
% have been much love on either side
to start with. but Haydn declared that
be had really begun TO like" his wife
and would have come to entertain a
stronger feeling for her II she had be-
haved in a reasonable way. Unfortu-
nately Anna Maria had neither rhyme
nor reason In her composition. The
entertaining Maryllle says that the ma
tOrity Of ladies married TO men Of
genius are so vain Of the abilities Of
their husbands that they are frequent
~ insnRerable. But Frau Haydn was
not a lady or that kind. The world
had emphatIcalIy proclaimed her bus
band a genius, but to Maria it was
quite immaterIal whether he were
cobbler or an artist. Nay. she even
committed the Incredible crime Of
using the composers manuscript scores
for curling paper, as underlays for
pastry and similar things. She was
gay enough with 1t all too.
when Haydn went from home, she
would send him the most cheerful lit
tie notes. SHOULD you die today or to-
morrow" ran one OF these missives.
there IL not enough money left In the
house to bury you" At another time
when Haydn was in London he received
a letter In which Maria wrote that she
had Just seen neat little house which
she liked very much and that he might
do himself the pleasure to send her
1000 gulden with which to buy it so
az to have in future a widows
home" Pleasant reading this for the
genial composer! In the first case he
wrote without a trace OF anger:
should this be so take my manu-
scripts to the music publisher guar
antee you that they Will be worth
money enough TO defray my funeral
expenses" In the matter Of the "wid-
Ow's home" he thought 1t would be
best 10 arrange things himself. Ulti-
mately he bought the house, and In
spite Of MaFia's frequent suggestions
Of his coming dissolution he lived In 1t
for nine years after she had been dead.
Frau Haydn saw out her seventy
years, but some time before that the
pair had agreed to live apart as the
best way Of ending a union which had
proved utterly unbearable to the com
poser.
