The senate committee new iove6tieatitJg the question of reclaiming the arid lands of the West by meaus of establishing reservoirs for irrigatioa purposes held a meeting to-day at the Chamber of Commerce. A nuinoer of prominent people were present who thoroughly under stand this question and the benefits to be derived from ic. Among these were Senator Toiler and Governor Cooper. The testimony taken from those best informed wai to the effect that the entire Eastern portion of the state could be irrigated by the reser voir system, and hundreds of thous ands of acres-of laud dow worthless be converted into the best agricul tural land on the continent; that the storage system was undoubtedly the most practical; and that it one-half of the water which went to waste every year was stored there would be more than stitiicient to reclaim every acre of laud in the stv.c.

San A n tor io Times. 1 .l.'k 1VJI V i.,,.; t.iuiuua u'es contained tin account f the Heath by his own hand of Itiscke, the gluemaker, who was arrested in this city last year for a cold blowded murder committed in Germany. The arrest and extradition of Kk-cke created a grsat 6epeatieu at the t:mc. Alter he had oeen tur leLtlercd by the United States authw i'ies to t!ie ajjent of the tier man Gcvcroment he was taken to New York, but on the way jumped Irom the train ou which be was traveling and attempted to drown himself in the river. He was rer cueu, however, and fioal.y returned to the fatlierlaod to he tried lor his crime, lie was immured in jail :.I UntLieu, iu the province of Frank fort, but succeeded iu ending hi uwo lite by strangling hiuHeif with strips toi'D from his blaukcr, auu thus tlieattd the haaga'an. The - murder for which Ktscke us eitrac-'ited was a most hrrili e and ier!ting one, and was emu mitted for the purpose of robbery. His victim was a well to dr. miller, who lived near liiscke. The body of the miller was concealed and h:s money taken by Kitchc and his sou, who participated in the crime. They lied to this country with their ill-iji.tteu wealth, and the sou Las never yet been captured. Kscke settled iu San Antonio with his youug daughter, who still resides here and pursues his business as manufacturer of glue, lie did a good business ar.d is reported to ii.ive mmit much money. Since his death in his prison cell in far-off Germauy specu'at:on has leu rife as to what he did with the money ebtained by the murder cf the niiUer. lie is supposed t have buried it somewhere about this city, but the secret ol its hiding-place is kaown to none saw, his son and accomplice. The amount stolen frem the miller wus equal to abaut ?15)0 in American nmney, od was in gold and silver. Many attempts have been made on the quite t gain seme clew t where this vast wealth is cencealeJ, hut so tar nave proveu vain, it is generally supposed he breoght the money with him to San Aotoni. It is Etill somewhere about here, but toe questien is Wlicref When tbe particulars of his crime were made known after his arreit he was repeatedly asked to tell what he had done with the meney, but to all inquiries in this direction be maiottined a dodged aud determined silence, and, sufar at .cast as he ! concerned, the secret went with him to his grave. If his son is apprised of ihe plnce el concealment he dare not divulge or make use of it for fear of falling into the meshes of the law hioisell.
