clerk, sheriff and probate judge, and coun- ty recorder kept in satisfactory manner. We would recommend that the Board of Supervisors furnish the said offices with some kind of a suitable floor so that the books and records can be protected from tl.e dust. We find the records of the Board of Supervisors kept in very unsatisfactory manner, in this, that the records do not show the full transactions of the Board. There being some doubts in our minds if there be legal Board of Supervisors in the county since January 1, 1877, we would recommend that the district judge, if he should deem it necessary, appoint some competent attorney to examine said rec ords and give his legal advice thereon.
 We find that the coroner and public ad- ministrator have no record books, and recommend that they be provided with the same by the Board of Supervisors.
 We have examined the county jail and found everything in satisfactory condi- tion.
 In our examination of the different de- partments of the county government we have come to the opinion that there is much reform needed. We have seen enough to convince us that if the different county officers would bear in mind that their chief duty-that the duty of each and all of them-is to watch over the interests of the county, and not consult entirely their own, there would be "a saving of much useless and created expense.
 The district attorney was in faithful at tendance on the grand jury, we feel grate, fuI and tender, thanks to your Honor, the District Judge, for your courtesy and kind consideration and respectfully ask to be discharged. J. W. DoRRINGToN, Foreman.

On Getting New Posto fhces.

When a new settlement wants a postoffice and mail route, 1t usually squanders its energies in getting up petitions to it's repre- sentative in Congress and in CUTS ing that representative, if the desired mail facilities are not se- cured forthwith. Having investi- gated this matter we are prepared to give few good suggestions. When a regular mail is wanted, petition the Postmaster General to establish a Postofice at the set clement and to appoint for it a postmaster designated in the peti
 tion. If the petition bears names enough, the office must be esta- blished under the law whether it is on a mail route or not. Then at the next letting of mail contracts the Postmaster General is compel led by law to let contract for car rying malls to'and from the new postoffice. It is well, when the petition goes forward, and before the general letting of contracts to punch up the proper Congressman aud stimulate him into making such representations to the P. O.. Department as are likely to secure frequency in the desired mail ser vice. The special mail agents, however, are the men who can render the most valuable assist ance in this directions; and to them should be addressed such commu- nications as are likely to enlist their cooperation. The special mail agent for Arizona, New Mex ico, Utah, Colorado and Western Texas, is Charles Adams, residing in Manitou, Colorado. Since the completion of the S. P. railroad to the Colorado river, the western edge of Arizona IS more particu- larly under the supervision of E. l.. Alexander Esq, special mail agent for California, residing at Los Angeles. Both the gentlemen named are thoroughly posted on the postal requirements of the districts under their care and will be found ready to.give assistance, a upon the proper showing.

PERSONS who have lawsuits and legal matters, and lawyers too, will be interested in the following from the Iowa State Press which, however it may affect the SO called newspapers, is a righteous judgment:
 "The United States supreme court has given a decision concerning the legality of publications Tn patent outside or patent inside newspapers. In a case taken from California, the court held that paper was published in the meaning of the law, where it was first printed, and not eff some where else where littte more printing IS done to it"

LUTTRELL's bill in Congress for the in- troduction of fresh water on the desert west of Fort Yuma is the Wozencraft measure of last session, with two modified tions. The first provides that the Secretary tent persons to appraise the present value of the lands and that Wozencraft and his associates shall pay for them at such ap- praised valuation before acquiring title. The second amendment provides that water rates, be fixed by the army engineer detailed by the Secretary of War for the examination of the work, as it progresses.

OUR grand jury was not very
 heavy on criminal business, but ii
 was lightning on stirring up coun- ty officers. No wonder the county
 is poor. During the last ten
 months the Recorder has collect ed from the county two dollars and

 would bankrupt any county-in a million years. Fortunately the clerk of the board of supervisors is restricted by law to a salary of S33. 335 permopth, or he too might be thrusting his greedy fins. into the public treasury. But he takes 1t out in not keeping his record full enough. When the Board meets, instead of writing down that they met and listened to the erations and philippics of the dis trict attorney till they were worn out and adjourned, he only notes the meeting and adjournment. The treasurer's books show that the sheriff has drawn nearly S2O per month for fees. We can't stand that. Let us economize. How would it do for grand juries to have shorter sessions and for supervisors to do more work and less talking? Let us put up a hos pital Git being impossible for a su- pervisor to say "No'' when asked for aims out of the treasury next the jail, so as to make it handy for friends to help prisoners esca- pc; so as to make it comfortable for the indigent sick of Sonora and

CAPT. !. M. Owens died yer,
before them

CAPT. J. M. Owens died very suddenly last week at Phoenix and under circumstances, that are con- sidered suspicious. As reported here, he died in very short time after he was taken sick and was attended by the same man, who was in charge of the jail at the time when Deane escaped. This mans previous character is unfa- vorably spoken of and it is inti- mated that he was hired for mo- ney to let Deane escape. Capt. Owen was Treasurer of MaricOpa county at the time of his death. Since then it is reported that all of his own personal effects value, as we'll as the negotiable contents of the treasury are not to be found. MT. F. A.

The Daughter of Mr. SchicklinR

1t seems as ii people will never under
stand the inf 'mmability Of that house,
hold pest, coal oil. In another column
are recorded the sad details OF the burn
ing of Miss Wilkinson, q young beauty
| OF CoVington, who last evening started
fire with that cursed fuid,a and the fatal
result.
This morning another name is added
| to the list of those who met their death
by starting the fire by pouring coal. oil
| on the flames.
The victim is Mrs. Louisa Wuest, q
married woman, about tWenty-;our
years old, and daughter OF Mr.. John
Schickling, the well-kuown proprietor
Of Schicknng's Concert Hall, on Vine
street, opposite Fifteenth. The affair
happened at the poor woman's home,
No. 43 Mercer street, between Vine and
Walnut.
About 7 O'Clock this morning, while
Mr. Joseph Wuest, the husband, was
lying in bed with his little sick boy,
Willie, after nursing him all night, Mrs.
Wuest was in the next room on the Sec
ond floor, trying to start a fire In order
| TO prepare breakfast. Tue flames would
not burn as rapidly as she desired, and,
to hasten them, she had recourse TO
| can oil coal-oil, containing about a gallon
| of the fluid.
She poured the contents into the fire,
When the fluid ignited. An explosion
| followed, the bottom OF the can being
| blown out and the burning oil spread
ing over the clothes OF the unfortunate
| woman. Her garments were soon
burned off, and uer whole body burned
in "a short time to crlsp. Her fearful
cries Of agony and the noise OF the ex-
| plosion awakened her husband, who inn
meuiately jumped out OF led and ran w
his Wlfe's assistance.
| John Kammerer, u butcher in the en-
ploy of MI. Busch, the sausage manu-
Iacturer, was also attracted to the
scene, and on his arrival Mrs. Wuest,
still in flames, fell into his arms. He
tried to eXtInguish the fire, and sue
ceeded with the help Of Mr. Wuest, who
| threw comfort around his wife.
Before this, however, Mr.. Wuest was
SO excited BY the terrible calamity, that
he vas about to- throw his little boy out
Of the window, as the whole room was
absze. he Was prevented from this,
however, by the nelghbors.
| The poor woman wrlthng In pain
threw herself uLon the bed. Her means
were agOnizns. DR.. WitlkaMp was i'm
meJiately summoned, VINO wrapped her
up in cotton, saturated with linseeu oil,

done to lessen her suffering, but there is
10 hope for her recovery. There is not
a spot on her body that was not touched
by The fire.
Her husband was badly burned about
the legs, alps, arms and side in his en-
deavols TO sthe the flames. His little
boy was also injured, but, luokily, only
| slightly. Mr. Weust is mattress
naNor, doing business at 1872 Sycamore

An alarm of fire was sounded from
Box 03, corner OF Walnut and Mercer
streets, by one Of the excited nelghbors,
but there was no necessity for the Fire
Department. as the flames i'll the room
had been extingulshed before the arrl-
al Of the engines.
