Oeneral Clayton, of AlabamH.
On Sunday morning last arrived here
on a short visit General Henry D. Clay-
ton, of Alabama. To the regret of his
many friends and admirers his stay was
a brief onp, as he left again on Sunday
night. General Clayton Is one of the
land-marks of a gallant state. His war
reoord lias endeared him to his people,
who would gladly at any time invest him
with any office within their gift. He
went into the great civil war as colonel
of the First Alabama. His meritorious
services in that and the Thirty-ninth
regiment soon promoted him to the head
of a brigade, which did some »plendid
lighting at Ciiickaiutuga, at New Hope
and at the stubbornly contested Held of
Res ca, after which he was appoint-
ed a major-general. Clayton's division
could always fx; found in the van of bat-
tle until the surrender took place. Since
peace spread her white wings over this
broad land, General Clayton ha* become
prominent in his state as a jurist. For
many years he was judge of the Barbour
circuit, and he is universally conceded
lobe among the ..rst of the bar of Ala-
bama. He is prominently mentioned for
governor at the expiration or the present
term, and it m more than probable that
he will he nominated and elected. Gen-
eral Clayton said, after looking at our
city and surroundings in company with
one of the Timrs editors, that he had
never seen a western city which was so
happily situated for pre eminence, in
commerce, agriculture, stock-raising,
mining and extensive railway communi-
cation than El Paso. He was fairly as-
tonished at the unbounded possibilities
here presented, and predicted a brilliant
future for our city. General Clayton
will probabjy return ere long and make
a visit of greater duration.
Mr. E. B. Ewlng of Jefferson City,
Mo., the recent appointed consul general
to the City of Mexico, is at the Grand
Central Hotel, on his way to his post.
Mr. Ewlng is quite a young man, but
fully equal to the duties of his new office.
Every well-wMier of this county hopes
that the. artesian well now boring on the
Mesa may prove to be successful.
Correspondents and advertisers will
band in tlielr favors before dark. After
that hour they are not certain of Inser-
tion. tf.

jySKJ Smith & Ff.mnandis.
Now there Is H. F. Allen. Look at
him, just like the everlasting granite
hills! No mutter who is ruuuing for
mayor, uo matter whether court houses
tumble down and carry communities
down In their ruin. He pits among the
rains serene and unmoved, and sells the
most astonishing bargains in the shoe
line for Indies and children, at prices
that would make a San Antonio architect
weep. This is big talk, and mebhe you
don't believe it? jy'jj
To Th« CltliiM of Kl Pat*.
Having seen in the issue of the Times
of the l'Jih instant an ordinance parsed
by the city council, prohibiting meat
markets ftom bartering or selliuK meats
on Sunday, assessing a tine of not less
than $20 or more than $50 for violating
this ordinance, in justification of our.
selves we. the undersigned, propose to
make the following statement to our pat-
rons and the public generally, as the
opinio i seems to prevail that the butch-
ers of El Paso did petition in a body to
the ci ty council, asking them ro pass" the
above ordinance. We can only speak for
ourselves, and will say that wr positively
refused to si^n the document ^leseoted
to us by Mr. Steinbuch to bave this or-
dinance parsed, prohibiting onr citizens
from getting their meal on Sunday morn-
int- We therefore will take tbe teapot:
nihility of getting up a petition to the
city council signed by many of ottr t itl-
zens, praying that the city council amend
this ordinance so as to read '-until nine
o'clock/1 W, C. Holse.

At Algoilone», the first station above
Bernalillo, in New Mcxko, the trac k was
washed out and the train gojng north
Saturday night, between eight and nine
o'clock, was ditched, killing Harry Wil-
son, engineer, and Frank Atchison, tire-
man. Express Messenger Dennett wa<
dangerously hurt, and Mr. Abbot, a pas-
senger, haal a leg and arm broken. The
express safe was thrown from the car,
the door broken off and contents emptied
into the water, most of which, It is
thought, was recovered.
Professor F. T. Lupton, of the Van-
derbilt University, is paying his annual
pilgrimage to El Pase and Old Mexico.
1'his is the sixth summer the professor
has appeared in El Paso. He goes In a
few days to examine and report upon
some mines in the Magdalena and Monte-
tum* districts. His reputation ar.d au-
thority on such matters is well establish-
ed in the eastern states. We welcome
Professor Lupton to onr city, and the
Times will do everything possible to
make hU stay pleasant.
Says the Dallas Herald: "Professor
N. T. Lupton, of the chair of chemistry
and geology in the Vanderbilt University,
at Naahville, is in the city, stopping at
the Pickwick. The Professor is on a
tour of scientific research through the
State and collecting as he goes samples
of the different minerals to be found in
the State of Texas. He iijuitfrem La-
redo and the country about that place
and goes from here to XI Paso."
ARTESIAN trBLt..
Yesterday was in mgurated the Tvork
on the artesian well In the Sattenhwalte
addition. Tbe diamond drill's first pul-
sations began to trob in the distinguished
presence of Professor X. T. Lupton, of
Vanderbilt Unlvetsl y. Gen. Clayton, of
Ala ..and Dr. Smith, C. E., of Lmdon,
England, besides a large number of citi-
zens of El Paso. This work U an experi-
ment which, if successful, will add an-
other star to tbe crown of the Bio Grande
vall»y, and its iullu »nce will be felt far
out on the plains of Western Texas. May
the progressive projectors,sti I ke water at
an early stage cold and sweet, is the
prayer of the Times.
A flowing artesian well would be worth
untold money to El Paso.

Engineer Smith, from London direct,
stopped over a day in El Paso on his way
to Chihuahua, Mexico. As all who come
to our city, Mr. Smith was much struck
with the evidence of push and develop-
ment to be seen iu our city.
A cutting scrape occurred on Saturday
night, hut no serious results. Nothing
to be gained by publishing names, there-
fore we pass them over. Such scenes
should receive the heavy hand of the
law, so as to eliminate them entirely from
our city.
