Another Arizona Murder.

Just as the citizens of Arizona were
feeling secure in the enjoyment of
their scalps, Del-Che and some of his
followers steal away and prosecute
successfully their business. On Fri
dag, the 10Th, J. B. Townsend, of
Lower Aqua Fria was killed by the
Apaches, not far from Dripping
Springs. The deceased was Texan,and
had killed during his six years stay i'm
Arizona thirty-siX Indians. The Miner
thus speaks of him:
Fear was n feeling with which he
was entirely unacquainted. Brave,
even to rashness, he never faltered,
even when alone, in attacking any
numberof Apaches. Relatives, friends,
all, had frequently cautioned him to
he less rash in his Onslaughts on the
foe, but it was not his nature to so de-
port himself, and he died, as he lived,
the bravest, most dauntless white
man that has ever trod the soil of Ari-
ZOna.
And thus concludes:
"Revenge is sweet fOrgiving have
we been to the Apaches, but, in Gods
name; in the name of John Is. Town
send and hundreds of other noble
martyrs, let not this last crime be for
given the murderous, lying red-brood,
who have robbed us of our bravest and
best, and kept us poor as the poorest
peasants of Europe. Remember the
widows and orphans the wretches
have made, and strike them wherever
and whenever opportunity offers.

Fisk & Hatch's Failure.

The failure of this firm was recai we'd
in the Gold Rooms in the following
manner:
When the Presidents gavcl dropped

ging. Rap, rap, rap, went the re-
sounding wooden hammer.
81 want you all to understand"
said the President, when partial quie-
tude had been gained, 'that don't
call on you to order without meaning
it. Hold your tonguesW
The brokers laughed little at this
and then grew sOberly eXpectant as
the President held up II note and pre-
pared to read it.
Downing to the widespread want
of confidence caused by the failure of
well known firms" read the Presi-
dent, "aml to advances made by us to
railroad companies, from which we
cannot Immediately realize, We are
unable to meet the heavy demands
upon us, and are compelled to an
nOunce our suspension"
The brokers breathlessly awaited
the reading of the name signed to the
note. The perfect silence was in strik-
ing contrast to the previous uproar
After Il pause, the President read on:
"AlthOugh we have no unsettled
business with your Board, we take the
opportunity OI thus announcing the
the facts
Again the brokers, and with more
impatience, awaited the name.
"lOurs, respectfully concluded the
reader Fish II Hatch.'
A prolonged whistle from somebody
was the first audible reception of the
startling news, and it was exactly eX-
pressive Of the general astonishment
The announcement of failures had
been expected, but none Of firm

On entering the University, Miss Iindley

A Colorado Desgprerrado.

Our readers are familiar with the
facts connected with the bold attempt
OF one Major g. ". Graham to rob the
United Safes Pnymaster near Hugo, or
River Bend, Colorado. This bold man,
single handed, stopped the ambulance
aud shotat the paymaster and the armed
escort, but was immediately shot down
and captured. he subsequently made
his escape to be re.captured. Graham
Is described by 0 Western paper as q per,
feet gentleman in appearance, and hns
always associated with gentlemen.
There is nothing OF brayaao III his man.
ner or language. He seemed TO be rath.
er q man Of bad deeds than words. He
entered the q. s. army in 1861, at the
age Of nineteen, and served until 1870,
having passed through all the interme-
date grades from o private Of yolnn.
teers to captaincy and lieutenant Col
onelcy by breyet in the regular army.
He has been wounded several times
and Is credited with gallantry and brave.
ry on oil occasions. He entered the
army from New York. He was noted lis
an Indian fighter. I..J
\ Graham having attained an enviable
reputation as one Of the brayest and
best officers 10 the United States army,
suddenly falls and losesall his hard won
lanrels. He stated 10 a reporter that on
accosnt Of his poitical proclivities he
was persecuted and made the victim Of
intrigue. He was dismissed tile United
States service in 1870, and from that
time his doxnward career has been
steady and rapid. He is well known to
the habihtcs Of the sporting houses Of
Kansas City, Leayenworth and Denver,
but until this mad attack upon the
United States paymaster, near River
Bend, upon the Kansas Pacific Rail
road, he has never been known TO com.
nit o criminal action. .1'i.
Should he recover from his wounds
received in his attack upon the soldiers
he will be placedup6n trial for Highway
robbery, and will no doubt be convict.
ed ,as lie canpotand will not pretend To
deny his identity. Hiapulishment will
be o matter for The confts Of Colorado
TO determine. Graham is certainly one
u tho bfayest and most reckless men
living. NUQHN 7flplpi i.iIufN

The Farmers Convention at Chicago
debated the subject Of cheapening
transportation. Mr.. W. O. Flagg, Of
Illinois, made the principal speech, ap.
parently rejecting The sentiment Of q

that although he did not believe in the
governments embatking in the busi-
ness Of constructing transportation
lines, he iearedTthat there was no other
way ont Of our present difficulties.

al WINTER PrOspeet.

The coming winter, says an exchange,
will bring one Of the severest tests that
the United States, particularly in the
larger cities, has ever had to stand.
Compared with the effects which the
recent financial crash is about TO pro.
duce, tho panic Of 1869 was only the
premonitory rambling going before the
real earthquake shock which knocks
down buildings, opens yawnipg abysses
in the earth, stirs up volcanoes, and
sends resistIess tidal waves across the
seS. The news which Is now received
daily saying that this manufacturing
tirm has been compelled to discharge
numbers OF its hands, or that building
corporation has ceased operations, isonly
ths beginning OF a fearful end. Out Of
I, 500 mechanics at Paterson, N. j.,
5000 have been discharged, aud the
same state OF affairs is reported from
manufacturing centers, particularly
those in the iron trade, In times Of
distress 1t is natural for sufferers to
gravitate towards tho city, where they
Hre sometimes able 10 gain precarious
living. SO that, besides the thousands
ot mechanics and laborers who, having
left the city for work, will return as fast
MS they are thrown out OF employment,
there will be m army Of men who will
seek the city for shelter. Hundreds Of
these men will And it impossible TO get
work to do, and being unable to make
nm honest living will suffer severely.
Many OF the large Eastern manufactp-
ries In which the hum OF the busy ma.
chinery was heard from morning till
night only few days ago, are already
silenced and their doors closed. Rail-
road building has come 10 standstill.
and the thousands Of mechanics and
laborers recently employed at good
wages to mike the iron and level the
track are to-day either dependent upon
the stipends allowed them by the $50.
cieties," or thrown upon the mercy OF
the public. .if4,t
Tie discharge OF mechanics extends
through every grade OF manufacturing.
Among tho clerks and shop girls in the
stores many have been discharged, for
the reason that there is nothing for
them to do. 'aa, p.f
The season has been noted as an un.
healthy one. The New York lYorta
says tliat in the charity horpitals there
are 10000 patients, with tho authority
OF physicians that tho number will in.
crease to 10000. Mr.. Kellock, the
Superintendent OF Ont door Poor, who
has been connected with the Depart
ment for twenty.six years, estimates
that there are to-day not less than 20.
900 persons in tile city OF New YORK
who ARE utterly destitute. anti that the
number will be increased during the
wiuter TO from 10000 to $4,000. It's y
sad prospect, bnt Il is one that should
be looked into the face at once.
