MARTIN, Of San Francisco, Cal., entertains ami instructs La Junta people in royal style. It is a question as to wheiln r the people of La Junta have ever in the history of the city had the pleasure of listening to a man of such rare ability as a speaker as is the Rev. Mr. Martin, who has been and is to conduct revival meetings in the Commercial College Hall. Words of congratulation are coming from every source to the management of the Christian church that they have brought to our city a man of his greatness. Mr. Martin has held meetings in all the large cities from Boston to San Francisco with unprecedented success, which has given him an experience and a fund of knowledge to draw i from, such as few men posess. He is also endowed with a magnetic voice, clear and soft, which enables everyone to hear him; yet does not grate on a single nerve. He is a humorist, and does not give you that sleepy and tired feeling so ofter experienced by the average church-goer. While his anecdotes are .fitted with fun and he causes roars of laughter yet he does not tell them for the sake of being funny. ’ Each one has a point, and he drives his thought home even if he must do it at the sacrifice of dignity. He is to continue the meetings indefinitely, and will no doubt arouse La Junta as it never has been before. Those who miss hearing some of the subjects announced for this week will no doubt miss one of great opp mi lilies of the meeting. The subject of this evening will be. “My Brother's Keeper.” ROCKY FORD IN FLAMES. A Solid Block of Building* Destroyed by the Fiery Clement. A fire which for a lime threalend I to destroy the entire north side business portion of Rocky Ford broke out about i o’clock last Saturday afternoon. One entire block was consumed by the flames and it was only by the superhuman endeavors of the citizens of the town that the business blocks ad joining were saved. At least $35,- 1 000 worth of property was des troved or damaged by removal, the loss ot which is covered by about St 0,000 insurance. The fire broke out in the rear of W. E. Fenton’s drug store, in a small room which is used for stor ing paints, oils and other combus tible materials, and in a very short space of time the flames had gain ed such headway that it was im possible to check them. The water supply was insufficient and was soon exhausted for effective purposes. The citizens conse quently devoted their attention to saving the stocks of goods of the various stores, and most of the property was removed to a place of safety. The adjoining business , blocks were covered with tarpau lins which were kept saturated with water and these with the pio tection afforded by the trees on either side of the street kept the flames confined to the one block, i The origin of the fire is a mystery. A telegram was received in this city about 2 o’clock asking for the assistance of the local fire depart ment, and in a very few minutes a hese cart was loaded on a flat car and accompanied by al»out 100 citizens the run was made by a switch engine to our m ighboring city in just seventeen minutes. The local fireman arrived too late for effective work, as the fire had run its course and the flames were about subdued The losses and insurance are as follows: Maxwell Bros.’ building, valued at 5 1,000; insurance, S3OO. Price & Lance occupied the building with a stock valued at Si 2,000, most of which was removed more or less damaged. They were in sured for 56,000. W. E.
