4 Sensational Story.

WASHINGTON, October 22.-A very sensational story, alleged to have org mated in Salt Lake City, but probably manufactured in Washington for effect on the Novembe elections, has com menced to go tie rounds of certain eastern papers, and figures today as the subject of al interview with ex- Delegate Elkins Gf New Mexico. The story purports to disclose the particu- lars of an allegel Democratic plot 10 culonize New Mexico, Arizona, Wy oming and other Territories with Nor mons, admit then as States and then to protect the MOrmons in thelr poly gamous practices in return for the Democratic Senators they will send to Washington. Proctor Knot, Chairman of the House Judi(iary Committee, and Franklin, Chairmtn of the Committee on Territories, art mentioned as insti- gators and promoters of the scheme Elkins pronounceS it the most ridicu- lOus canard he eve, heard of He says almost all the ar.ble land in Utah is now taken up, and that the Mormons must necessarily overflow into the sur rounding Territories Perhaps one thousand have gone into Arizona and h considerable number into Nevada, but he does not think there are dozen Mormons in the wlole territory of New Mexico, where almost all lands are in the hands of natiFe citizens who have an unconquerable aversion to the Mor- mons, and who would not be disposed under any circumstances to sell them. It is pertinently remarked that the Mormon population of Utah would have to spread ont very thin to make enough States to send to Washington twelve Senators, which number is spoken of in the story.

Quick Freight

Late telegrams state that the Union and Central Pacific Railroads have completed arrangements with all East ern lines by which California freights will be loaded separate in full car loads and cars running through with but one transfer This in connection with recent changes of schedule OF the Pacific Railroads gaining two days in time of delivery of freights at San Francisco will enable shippers 10 re ceive property shipped from any point East in fourteen days instead of eight cen 10 twenty-five as heretofore.
 This is a matter of much importance to our Arizona merchants who can avail themselves of the same schedule as California shippers. As the rail road progresses and the schedules are reduced much of the disadvantage Ar izona has suffered from delays will be overcOmei

General Q. Q. Cotton.

The Mining and Scientific Press gives the following brief biographical sketch of the late General D. D. Cotton Vice-President of the Southern Pacific Railroad; Financial Director of the Central Pacific Railroad, and Presi- dent of the Occidental and Oriental Steamship Company. General Colton was an old Californian, we'll known in early days from his connection with mining enterprises, and latterly, as one of the directors of great railroad cor pOratiOns. He was for some years sheriff of SiskiyOu, and for several years was miner of that county. He established the basis of his large for tune by hIs interests in the Rocky mountain coal, AmadOr gold mining company and other mining ventures, being known, however, as a legitimate miner, and not stock operator. He became interested in the Pacific system of railways in 1871, and has since oc- cupied a prominent position in the directorate. He has always manifested great interest in scientific progress, and has been President of the Board of Trustees of the California Academy of Sciences for the past four years General Colton was genial, pleasant man, universally liked and respected, and his early taking of is great loss to the community.

The Widow.
robes of deep sable;

How becoming the robes Of deep sable; How fitting that delicate crape, How demure are the hands without jewels And how sweet that love Of a cape, Why is it a woman in mourning Is so certain Of public regard? Are sorrow and tears to be purchased, Like satinS and silks, by the yard. In the throng Of gay colors and dresses She moves like an absolute queen; In the tattle, the waltz and the furry, She only is calm and serene. The young gaze upon her with envy. The old eat her up with their eyes, AS she moves like planet in splendor- A widow, and oh, what prize. Is there anything potent In sorrow That draws all the men to her side? What is il that renders a widow
 A queen that no rival can bide? Independent and free is the widow; She has fathomed the knowledge orlife- All the joys and tremors Of gIrlhood, All the sterner conditions of wife. Now, mistress Of purse and Of person, Her triumph is round and complete, She moves among mortals a goddess, With the world bending down to heI
 feet.
 She beconS, and calls for her brougham: She smiles with an exquisite grace; She is gone. with her sables and beauty, And darkness has taken her place.

HE report that the two railroads now at the eastern border of New Mex ico have been consolidated, is not en- couraging news either for that Terri tory or Arizona Heretofore a keen strife has prevailed between the two roads; each has sought to be master of the situation and control the traffic. No means have been spared to extend each road with all possible speed, and the iron horse has averaged mile a day in its advance on the respective tracks. Now the strife is over. The two roads come under one manage ment This corporation can for years control the trade of New Mexico and eastern Arizona and hence there is TO necessity to compell them to push the extension of either road. We have, however, one hope left, and that is that the extension of the Southern Pacific road eastward may arouse the jealousy of the eastern company and thus in- duce them to build Gs rapidly as pos sible in New Mexico.

Raiirodd Progress.

Signs of railroad prOgres to the east ward from YuI1a increase of late with great rapidity The Southern Pacific Railroad Company perfected it's orga- nization; adopted a route finally To- cat9d, surveyed, and ready for construc- tion parties; and made contracts with the Western Development Company It was thought that the death of D. D ColtOn, President of the Company, might entail some delay upon it's oper- auions; but a meeting of Directors will soon be held, for filling vacancy and transaction of other important business Our local reports arrival here already of 55, 500 redwood ties, and of 1924 steel rails: besides the usual compile ment of fish-plates, bolts and spikes Other heavy shipments are due today The average carloads have comprised, each, A rails, 6 kegs spikes, SS fish plates and 3 boxes of bolts, weighing 23,0O0 pounds. A car load of telegraph wire has come in, showing the cOmpa- ny's intention of having their telegraph keep pace with the road. A large sup ply of new construction tools has been received. Thoroughly organized con strucJion gangs have been finishing some work at Martinez and are now due here at any tine. MT. J. E. Curry, of Yuma, has been engaged as Survey or to direct construction in accordance with adopted plans; he was ordered to Martinez last Monday, and will come down with the working parties. The country presents no difficulties for the first twenty miles, to near Gila City. This distance can easily be coy- cred during the first month after the work commences; which probably will be done. The time to be consumed in making the next twenty miles depends upon the number of men engaged. This stretch requires the cutting through of many gravel and cement points running down to the Gila river. Sentinel.

Campbell 06sequies.

Says the Sentinel Quite little ripple ofexcitement last Wednesday broke the calm which had settled down on the political situation here. A wagon was driven through the streets, carrying musicians and bearing the following placards:
 Hip. .Hurrah for our H. s. Stevens, who will put lump on the Campbell !'
 Funeral of J. c. Campbell, who committed political suicide by an over dose of anti fat, and kicked the bottom out of his bucket .''
 Yuma has only taken the lead in q ceremony that will be generally Im- initiated throughout the Territory and the Campbell will be joyfulIy buried so deep that lhe refreshing odors of his political carcass will never again cheer the Enterprise and it's dejected Editor-his only friends.

FnthnI to the Last.

Twenty-Five ministers, including twelve Roman Catholic priests, have died in the cities of the southwest since the beginning of the yellow fever epidemic. All Protestant churches Methodist, Baptist, Lutheran, Epis- copal, Presbyterian-are represented in the list These men stood in their lot in days of terror and gloom, and fell upon the field where God had placed them. There is no form of heroism more true or more noble than that which keeps men at the post of duty in the face of such perils. It must be based on a permanent prin- ciple, on a devotion to mems good which will last through weary weeks and months, and fail not in the midst of unimagInable horror.

Cipher TeIegrams.

In some mysterious way the New York Tribune became possessed of about 400 telegrams sent by prominent Democrats from New York, Florida, South Carolina, Louisiana and Ore gon during the time of the doubt az to the result of the Presidential election, and there it has been published for some time in the original The i'm portant telegrams are all in very complex cipher and to unravel this three different experts were employed unknown to each other and without any communication they at length and in different ways found the same keys to unlock the mysteries. The trans lated dispatches have at last been giv- en publicity, and there can be no reas- onable doubt as to their correct inter pretation. The story they told, which apparently involves many Democrats of hitherto good standing, IS one of shame 10 the American people and must everlastingly blast all future hopes of any of the parties thereto. Manton Marble and s J. Tilden, who are directly connected by the Tribune's translatIons with attempts to buy e,ec- toral votes, both deny that they ever knew what was being done fraudu- lently but the Tribune and others pa- pers laugh at their declaimers. The whole subject has created a great sen- sation and may have a great effect on the coming election. Reform how glorious thou art

POTATOES on the Rio Grande are plenty at a cent pound, while in Tue son and many adjacent settlements they sell readily al 12 and 13 cents per pound, and very often it is impossible to get them at any figure It seems 10 us that the fault of this is with our farmers. In most every farming sec ion In Pima County potatoes yield abundantly, and we have eaten as ex- cellent quality of potatoes in Arizona as we ever did in any other country hence if the yield is large, the quality good and the soil abundant the only reason for the insufficient supply must be the failure of our farmers to plaut the necessary seed. Potatoes are a staple, and one of the most wholesome articles of food offered in any market, but if we cannot obtain these we must purchase canned articles which does not benefit our home producers nor the health of the consumers Our ranch men will find it to thelr financial ad- vantage to consider these facts we'll and give us more "spuds" another season.

As there are large number of Mor- mons in Arizona at the present time, and their numbers are constantly in- creasing, it may be of local interest to know that the Supreme Court accord ing to the reassignment of Its calendar, will next month hear arguments ln- volving the ConstitdtiOnality of all laws heretofore made bearing on poly gamy in Utah. The decision will in volve the legality of all laws, Nation al, State, or Territorial, to crush out the Mormon mode of life.

THE Mormons of Little Colorado are shipping machinery from Utah for a tannery which they intend to erect somewhere in the Mogollon mountains.
