'ALARM OF FIRE.-About II O'Clock YES
terday forenoon an alarm of fire was
sounded, and exactly half minute later
the Hose boys, closely followed BY the
Hooks, were rolling their carriage down
Main street, towards the scene Of danger.
We never saw greater celebrity in a Fire
Department anywhere. The cause of the
alarm was the burning of some Garnet
ing on the roof of the Phoebe Bakery.
lower Main street, the fire having been
communicated by sparks from a coptipu-
Gus stove-pipe. Had the flames GOT IN
der fair Roadway general confiaeration
would most likely have ensued, but thew
were extinguished before the fire com.
panies reached the ground. The proprie.
tor is ignorant of how the carpet got on
the roof, and suspects bad design in
putting it there.
ST. GEORGE FRUIT PRospEcTs.-The
enterprising fruit culturist, Joseph E.
Johnston, of st. George, informs, us by
letter, that he will have ripe peaches and
apples in his orchard this month, and
that his apricots are now ripening. A
few men in st. George as enterprisinp
and intelligent as Mr.. johnson would
soon make that place rival of Salt Lake
City. While enriching himself, he is
benehtting the entire community in
which he lives. A vast amount of
canned fruits will be put up in St.
George this Summer for this market,
Mr.. johnson being at the head of
strong company which has been organ
lied for that express purpose.
STATE OF NEVADA VS.. Rosa STEIN AND
NATALIE MoRRIs. = This is the cutting
case to which we alluded in our last.
The defendants were arrested day before
yesterday, Rosa as principal and Natlaie
as accessory, on the charge OF assault with
intent to dogreat bodily harm; and on this
charge bonds were given as required.
But yesterday it was withdrawn, and
the charge OF assault with intent TO COM
nit murder was substituted. The de.
PENDANTS plead not guilty the latter
charge, and will have preliminary ex.
animation next Monday. They gave
bond for appearance in the sum of So, 900
each.
NIGHT before last, along towards morn
ing, Harry Merritt got on the rampage,
and aroused several hundred human be.
ings from their slumbers and prevented
as many more from going to sleep. Tor.
rents of blood did not flow down Main
street, for the reason that Harry wasn't
after scalps, but the police corps Of
floche had to turn out in full force to
effect his arrest. He last night had a
jury trial and was found mot guilty"
Of disturbing the peace. How much
would it take to disturb the peace Of
Phoebe? Probably such an earthquake
as shook San Salvador to pieces, a few
weeks ago, might have some effect.
A New DRAMATIC TROUPE. Manager
Bird, an old theatrical manager of San
Francisco, has arrived in Phoebe, accom-
panied by Mrs. Carter, well-knowu
actress. His full troupe, comprising o
number OF actors and actresses
OF ability, will soon arrive. They
come, we believe, to fill an engage
ment for Captain Hanly, who has decided
to open his fine new hall as Theatre.
With that object in view, he is having a
stage erected and some fine scenery exc.
cuted.
HE STRING OF THE PUDDrNG.-''The
proof of the pudding is in the string"
and the San Francisco reporters will
probably think there is truth IN the strikes
IN this camp we have lately reported
when the 2, 400 pounds of pure silver
which was this morning shipped by the
Meadow Valley Company reaches that
city. 1t goes out by ono OF Pritichard's
fast freight trains.
A MOVE AGAINsT UNNECESSARY ASSESS
MENTs.-We hear public meetings of resi-
dent stockholders of several mines sue.
gested here, to take action against Trus-
tees levying assessments when the cor
porations they represent have. or ought
to have, money in their treasury. The
plan is to secure cooperation with for
eign stockholders, through correspon-
dence
MEMBERS OF Phoebe Engine and Hose
Company will please take notice that
meeting of their company will be held
this friday evening at Y. o'clock at
the schoolhouse. Members are requested
to be on hand early for the purpose of
finishing up business quickly in order to
allow time to those members DESTROYS of
going to the Hook and Ladder ball to ar
rive there in season.
We limp around after items now on
one leg. Cause, trying to cross Main
street without picking our steps among
thousands of broken bottles which cover
it and all the other streets of Phoebe. |
They are splendid for surgeons and shoe |
makers-all of whom might plead self |
interest against the proposed city gov
eminent.
Masonic BALL.-The Masons of this
city and vicinity are preparing to cele-
brate, with grand ball, the anniversary
OF st. John, the Evangelist, on the oath |
OF this month. The various committees

B. Nye, d. Nagle, George Ames, Mrs.

day.
YESTERDAY was the hottest day of the
season. The temperature in the shade

forenoon to 2 in the afternoon. From
winter to summer the jump has been
