Thrilling Affair on tho GiIa.

The Tucson (Arizona) Citizen states
that on the 7th of March a party Of
Americans became involved In q shoot
ing ARRAY with Mexicans, in which
two men, named James Bodel and
Pamela Quadra, were killed-Bodel
being first mortally wounded by Qua
dra. after which the latter was shot
within twenty feet of his own house.
The American party then went to San.

refuge In a house, which, after all the
other inmates had been allowed to
escape, was blown up, and, amid the

A few hours previous to this a young
Mexican named Aguilar was shot from

named Perry and several Mexlcans
were wounded. A house was destroyed.
a horse killed, and other damage done!
The origin Of the difficulty, or the full
details, are not given in the Citizen,

was between Americans and Mexicans,
1t may DO ascrlbed to prejudice Of race.

GOOD FRIDAY.

To-day, In all truly Christian COM
munities, among the faithful Of the
Church, Is regarded and observed as an
occasion Of peculiar sanctity. 1t is
the Friday before Easter, sacred as the
commemoration Of the crucifxion Of
Christ. This day has been kept 8 a
day of religious mourning and prayer,
from a very early period, and by the
ancients it was observed as a day Of
rigid fast and Of solemn and melan-
choly memorial. In the Roman Catho-
lie Church tho service Of this day Is
very peculiar instead OF the ordinary
mass IL consists Of what is called the
Mas, of the Presanctitied, the sacred
host not being ~consecrated on Good
Friday, but reserved from the preceding
day. The priests and attendants are
robed In black, In token Of mourning,
the altar Is stripped Of Its ornaments ;
the kiss Of peace Is omitted, In detes-
tatlon of the traitor Judas, and the
priest recites prayers for all classes,
orders and ranks, In the Church, and
oven for herstics, pagans and unbs-
levers generally. In the English
Church, Good Friday Is also celebrated
with special solemnity, and In both
England and Ireland It Is In law not
considered a legal day, and all busl-
ness Is suspended. In Scotland, the
day meets with no peculiar attention,
except from members Of the Episcopal
and Roman Catholic c%ommunlons.

Monday night, about half past ten
o'clock. Patrick Hall, of the Eureka
mine, was stopped OH the road by two
highwaymen. The stopping took place
near the junction Of the Nevada and
Eureka mine roads. The robbers were
masked. Hall was taken behind a
woodpile and searched. He had nc
coin In his clothes but he had n piece
OF plug tobacco. the half of which the
robbers took. IL Is probable that the
road agents were looking out for Idaho
mine employees, rs Monday was the
pay day Of the Idaho, and the men are
paid of In town. The case Is being
worked up with a prospect Of detect
ing the criminals.

The Idc. OF March.

"Rooooo," the historian Of the st.
Louis Eueaing Dispatch, biographies
after the following manner:
Nineteen hundred and sixteen years
ago to-day IA B. C.) Julius Cesar was
assassinated in Rome. Tho day 10
also made memorable by another event
that of the birth Of General Andrew
Jackson IN 1857.
OF General Jackson 1t Is not neces-
sary to speak; therefore we will re-
mark that he was a native-born Amer
lean by birth, and the President Of the
United States on two distinct occasions
by adoption. He was first In war,
first In peace and the first to remove
the United States deposits. He wal
loped the blarsted Britlshers out Of
their boots at New Orleans by firing
red.hot cotton bales at them, and then
invented the Sth Of January, the model
of which Is still visible to the naked
eve in the Patent Office at Washington.
He killed Tecumseh In a terrific horse
de combat with his little Ratchet, and
Is the composer of that delightful and
popular melody, "By Jehovah and the
Continental Congress, the Union must
and shall be picked" He died one
day and left the Democracy to the
nation-all he had to leave except his
good name, although he was twice
President. His kind Of Democracy
wasn't good for a warm climate, 1t ap-
pears, for 1t didn't keep. At this
writing there isn't enough of it left to
70 half way round.
Julius Cesar was a Rumun. His
wife Calphurma latter California; was
a very Rumun also. Cesar wrote his
own commentaries; invaded Britain
and settled 1t with rum'uns; he dis
covered oysters on the half-shell, and
invented punch a la Romano; he
killed Pompey on the spot, and threw
or on Cleopatra In the most ungentle-
manly manner. He was the first to
nat juba-on the head he was partial
to tigers, and fed them on the surplus
population to keep down the census ;
he didn't fight the tiger much himself;
he sported a Roman nose modelled
after the Duke Of Wellington's; he
was butchered horribly by Polonius
and afterwards stabbed by a bloated
bond-holder named CaSsius, while
Casca went for his rent. He tried to
flee, but Brutus caught him on the fly.
after which base act he fell at second
base with great pomp, by Pompey's
monument, which all the while was
running blood, my fellow citizens. He
then turned over, q little pale, and
Immediately afterward kicked the
bucket. His last dying speech and
confession was, "And you, you BRUTE"
| He was the noblest Rumun Of them
all, for
Julius Cesar was his namc,
Slowing Pompey gave him fame,
Draw poker was his little game,
TIL daylight In the morning.

An invention Is announced by q
Northampton, Mass, man, which, in
the opinion OF tiose who have observed
its workings will meet the long de-
sired desideratum Of a steam canal
boat. He has constructed a small
model Of his boat, about twenty inches
long, and furnished with apparatus
complete, which, under a motive pow
er of six or eight pounds Of steam. per-
formed most admirably at a recent
trial, not only throwing no wave to
tho shore, but scarcely ripping the
water. 1t Is proposed to put upon the
Erie canal, this Summer, a canal boat
constructed upon this model, and if it
should succeed in meeting expecta-
lions, the inventor will probably re-
ceiye the reward Of 800, 900 offered BY
the New York Legislature for a steam
canal boat Of this description.

-- .
A telegram received from Genoa
yesterday gives the following account
Of the effect Of Tuesday mornings
earthquake. which It seems was much
more severely felt In the southern sec
tlon Of the country than In this vicln-
ity. The dispatch says:
A gentleman just arrived from indie.
pendence, Inyo county, CAL, reports
the earthquake at that place on Tues
day morning as very severe, destroying
the Courthouse, Harris & Kline's
store, and, in fact, there Is not a brick
or adobe building or chimney left
standing between Bishops Creek and
Independence. Camp Independence
Is completely in ruins. A Mrs. Nut,
living near the camp, had a child In
stantly killed and herself seriously In
iured by the falling walls Of an adobe
house. This Is the only fatal result SO
far as learned at the time the stage left.
The County Clerk and Deputy
Sheriff, who were In the Courthouse,
narrowly escaped, the Clerk being
badly cut about the head with falling
bricks. A great many persons were
badly bruised ut Big Pine. A large
tissure opened, extending north and
south. and was seen for miles, from
fifty to two hundred feet wide, and In
places twenty feet deep, running close
to the base Of the Sierra Nevada. In
many places along the road the earth
to the height Of twenty and thirty fee.
across was thrown up from five to ten
feet, and In many places water was
forced out Of the ground. Springs
failed that were never known to be
dry before. From Independence To
Bishops Creek the earth Is cracked all
over. From 2:30 A. n. to $3.50 there
must have been not less than fifty dis.
tirct shocks. The earth seemed to vi.
brate all the time. From this time un.
ill 1 =. ". there were about eighteen OF
twenty more shocks. Numbers Of per.
som say they saw flashes Of fire from
the mountain sides at points between
Bishops Creek and independence.
The stage road Ia badly blocked by
rocks shaken into the road, and a num-
Der Of snow slides we're noticed on the
mountain sides. Wells, Fargo& Co.'S
express was buried In the ruins of Har.
ris Rheims store. and the stage had to
leave without 1t. No damage was done
at Aurora.
