Railroad Wreck.

AS the north bound train was
pulling out from the station here,
on Tuesday, on crossing a pile of
cinders near the water crane, the
forward trucks under the pilot
left the rail. The wheels bump
ed along on the ties, until they
struck the switch frog, when the
track spread, the east rail creel-
ing over on its side, letting the
drivers off. As the engine set
tied down the pilot caught on the
rail and was smashed into splint-
ers. They fired up the yard en-
gin and attempted to pull the
crippled engine backward onto
the track, but failed. The yard
engine was then sent on with
the passenger coaches for Santa
Fe, The section men built fires
and worked the greater part of
the night, and Wednesday morn
ing an engine arrived from Tor
rance. The bent rails having
been removed, heated over a fire
and Strengthened, the engine was
soon on the rails, and ready for
duty. Mr., Cunningham, t h e
road master had charge of the
work. 1t was very fortunate
that the accident occurred just at
starting, before they had attain
ed speed, or it would have been
! bad wreck. Being near the
Company's shops, was another
fo rtunate circumstance.

MINISTER KILLS
CONSTABLE,
McAdams of Corona Slain by
Rev j. c. Trapp after Long
Feud

Roswell, N. NJ, Jan. 5, Rev
John G. Trap, a minister of the
Church of Christ, whose wife
md several young children reside
lere, and who with his Oldest
sons runs a truck farm near Co.
roma, Lincoln county, is now in
the Chaves county Jail in this
city, along with his oldest sons,
Malcolm and John. All three
are accused of the murder of w i.
jJ. McAdams, a constable at Co.
roma, at six O'Clock last night.
The trio went from Corona to
Torrance last night and came to
Roswell this morning on the auto
mail stage, seeking safety, they
state, and to consult their law
yers, Gatewood and Graves, upon
Ewhose advice they gave them
selves up to the officers Of Cha
yes county.
A telegram came later telling
of the charge against them and
authorizing their arrest. They
admit the charge and to their
lawyers told their whole story.
They consider themselves blame
less in the whole matter. The
trouble dates to last June when
McAdams, then deputy sheriff,
placed Trap in Jail at Corona for
carrying a Winchester. Trap
was re-arrested a short time ago
on the same charge revised, and
since this arrest has brought suit
in the district court of Chaves
county against McAdams and the
sheriff of Lincoln county for $25,
900 damages on the charge of
false Imprisonment. Trap and
his lawyers were in Corona yes
terday securing a change of
venue in his Winchester case,
and the shooting occurred at
Traps place last night.
His lawyers have telegraphed
Governor Curry and Judge Pope
asking that he order them held
here rather than taken to Coro-
ma. Trap has been an active
worker for prohibition and law
and order at Corona. He stands
we'll in Roswell. He has a wife
and ten children. Albuquerque

Both parties to the above are

you do not think me too hard-hearts

''You do not think me too hard-hearts
to insist on a two years engagement,
Allie?" Miss Darlington said presently.
Mr.. Moore has begged me over and over
again to reconsider my decision, but, in
deed, ! think Greville is too young for
such a responsibility. In two years he
will be five-and-twenty"
Il would not have it otherwise, Aunt
d." returned Alison, quietly. I'm two
years time, papa will be well and strong
at least. DIR. Greenwood tells us So
and Missile will be older: can be spared
then, and can leave home far more hap
ply"
is Greville content with this?"
Il have talked to him. and made him
see that we are both right. OF course
we shall both feel the separation a little
hard. but now | have promised to spend
at least two months next summer at Moss
side. and he is to pay flying visits to The
Holms. think we ought to be content,
and then there are the letters-letters are
such a pleasure
And in two years Alison Merle is to
be Alison Moore"
Il hope so. Aunt Di"
Darling that day will be happy one
for me. | love you both so much, and
then l shall have you near me. Think
of Fernleigh being your home"
"A beautiful home" she returned.
Roger will miss you the most, dear"
Il hope not by that time, Aunt Di.
Perhaps l ought not to speak of it; he
has never given me the right to do so, but
| Think hope-Anna-may be able to
comfort him for my absence"
What makes you think so, dear?" she
asked, very quietly; and yet the same
thought had occurred to her.
1T is Rogers manner; it has changed
so much of late. Once he used to be as
friendly with Anna, but now he never
mentions her name if he can help it, but
when any one talks Of her / can see the
way he listens, and the look that comes
into his eyes: he is always so pleased
when i tell him she is coming to The
HOlms, and he is so nice with her. speak
ing so gently to her, and anticipating all
her wishes; you could not doubt what
it meant if you saw them together. And
she is just as sweet TO him as one could
wish-very shy, but so simple and child
like"
'She is a dear little thing, and ] dare
say she has improved"
"Nes, indeed, even Missile owns she is
almost pretty sometimes; not that that
matters, when she always looks so sweet
and good. Oh, Aunt hi, / have grown to
love her so"
Roger is a wise man." observed Miss
Darlington. thoughtfully: IF he chooses
Anna for his wife he will find her GER
tainly above rubies.' There is the law
Of kindness in her lips: ] never knew
any one so perfectly gentle"
'Missie is actually growing fond 81
her; they will be nice companions foe
each other when ] leave home Oh. Aunt
hi, how beautifully everything has turned |
out. Papa is better and Missile is grow
ing more amiable every day; Rudel is not /
so rough, and Poppie is the dearest little
soul, and Miss Leigh is 50 much more
cheerful"
Heaven has, accepted our sacrifice.
Allie" returned Aunt Diana solemnly
"a blessing has come down on your ef-
forts IN q way we never expected"
"'Giye and il shall be given you
again, is the law OF love-
Darling, ] never loved you so much
as when ] SEM you frsm ne 10 do your
duty"
