A CHALLENGE.

The meeting of Prescott Democrats las Saturday evening and determination there manifested to hereafter to draw strict par.
 ty lines in this county and throughout the
 territory, challenges the Republicans to take counter stand. It is evident that the ad- herents of ths Dsmocratic party arc dissat- isfed with ths present peaceful condition of our politics. They are tired of leaving the best man in the community in oificc, placed there by the sufsrages of theIr fellow cili. zens without distinction of party.
 They challsage the Republicans to enter the field.
 The Democratic organ claims, that, not only Prescott precinct, but Yayapai county and even the territory of Arizona are Dem. ocratic upon party vote. To this we can only reply that, that is a question which remains to be tested.
 We believe upon fair and honest vote. all these would give Republican maiorities. We believe the Democratic boast to be uu. founded.
 Al any rate, in the contest which is fore shadosed. we do not propose that the Dcm- ocraIic challenge sbali go unheeded or fail of fit response.
 IL will DOW be necessary for the RepuLli. cans of favapai t0 hold an early meeting and put in the field an organization capable of competing with that of the Dem crats. And Of the contest tp follow. VIC can oaly pr ' in the fu lDsss of our faith, that the people will awake to their interests and in , the strength of their majority defcnd the right.

ADVENTURES OF SMALL BOY.-The Liverpool
Post tells strange adventure of venturesome
small boy. 1t appears that he played truant
from school and dared not go home at night,
He managed to get into the station-yard at
Chorley, with the Intention of passing the night
in one of the passenger carriages; but he failed
to gain access, the doors being locked. He then
crept under the guards van, and pulled himself
on the couple of short iron rods between the
axle of the wheels and the carnage floor, and
between which the break apparatus passes. In
this position he went to sleep and at o'clock in
lad was actually brought to Wigan, and again
taken to Chorley, clutching the rods. At the
latter place he was discovered, still fast asleep,
marvel is how the lad remained on this frail
support during his eighteen miles journey, and
asleep all the while. Had he moved death was
certain.

A Scandal i'm High Life.
REPORTED ELoPEMENT OF EN. SICKLES' DAUG TIER
WITH A MARRIED ANvENTURER-


WITH MARRIED ANyENTURER-
A special to the Philadelphia Press from New
York says: Much excitement has been aroused
IN the social circles in this city by a report
Europe to the effect that Miss Laura SlckleS,
daughter of General Daniel E. SickleS. had
eve of her proposed departure for this country
with her father. Miss SicRleS, who Is 26 years
OF age, and is said to be highly accomplished,
mens Mi,h her lather abroad when he was a
eompanied by her grandmother, with whom she
lived In Madrid and Paris until three years ago,
when her grandmother died. Since that time
she has lived with her Spanish stepmother
in Paris. 1t is said to have been the intention
OF Gen. SicRleS to sail with his daughter for this
country upon Saturday four weeks ago. Pas
made for the departure. Several days before
the time arrived suspicion OF the intended elope-
ment, it is said, became excited, for the man
with whom Miss Sickles finally eloped was then
arrested. The charge Is said to have been that
OF theft he having had some OF Stckles' jewelry
in his possession. His name was Mccarthy. He
is Southerner, and is said to be well known in
this city. Through efforts OF Minister Noyes Nc
earthly was released on condition that he would
leave the country. This he agreed to do and
WScb hght tnf upon
this country Mccarthy left Paris for
London, but took with him the generals
daughter. This is the statement of persons who
have just returned from Paris. 1t Is alleged
that Mccarthy and Miss SickleS are living in
apartments In London but that the former has
changed his name 1t is further stated that Nc
earthly was married man at the time of the
elopement. He is described as about 81 years OF
age and fine looking. 1t is also affirmed that he
is man OF bad reputation and known here as
an adyenturer. At the Army and Navy club to-
day 1t was reported that Gen. Sickles had lately
become seriously i'll in Paris. His friends here
deny the story and say that he wrote recently
that he was delayed by his daughters Illness
but they do not seem to have much definite
knowledge upon which this denial Is based.
Edward P. Field, In card to the New York
Star, denies the story of the elopement, saying:
miss Sickles has been very Ill for the last
four months in Paris. If there had been any
foundation for the false rumor, l would have
been the first to hear of 1t, as am Gen. Sckles
representative here, and have been in constant
COMMUNICATION with him since his departure
for Europe"
