A Runaway.

Yesterday afternoon horse and buggy be- longing to Isaac Kinney ran away on Water street. In his course he came in contact with the gates of the railroad crossings. He got through one of them, but the other gateman, Edwin Shelley, stood by the other. The horse struck it with such force that it was knocked out of it's fastenings and came in contact with the gateman and landed him on his back in the middle of the street; but it stopped the horse and made him sheer round and go down the track toward the new depot. The animal was soon stopped in his mad ca reer The wagon was somewhat demoralized, but the horse was not hurt much.

The action of tbe City Council oai- urday night, in passing a resolution to sell the u-e of Military Plaza for feas, purposes, seems ineXplicabie Some two weeks ago resolution Of similar imrort was vatej down. and arrange ments were ihen made by which Mr Levin was 10 pregare grounds for the annual feJst of San Ausustin on he helds at the rear of The park. The matter could not have been placed ID better hands, and with his wOn,cd energy Mr. Levin 4i once proceeded with his work, spariug neither ex pon-e nor pains 10 make il the most enjoyable and finest display seen here for years. To show the extent to which he is carrying his preparations il is only necessary 10 state that two carloads Of lumber, specially for ihe grounds. were ieIcgraphed for and are now soon 10 arrive. Now, two weeks later, and wholly unexpected. comes the resolution of the City Council, re- viSing the action of two weeks since, and doing Mr. Levin a manifest and material wrong. Certainly a man who has done SO much iu the past to show his faith Tn the future uf Tucson and to advance the growth of our city as Mr. Levin has is not entitled to such treatment at the hands of the City Council, and We hope the matter is a mistake on theIr part.
 As will be seen by advertisement in another column, the feast announced to take place at The rear of Ihe Park will positively come of as advertised. the preparations already made being too extensive to admit of ces alton at this time, without great loss to Mr. Levin.

IL would seem that the great and almost vital importance Co Tucson of a better md ,horier road to HaIshaw and Patagonia Dist'ic.s generally ought to stir our citizens ty their best endeayors to accomplish the desired end. When NIT. Sam Haghes made the statement Ina, he would build ihe road through The canyon which is now under discussion, for ST0N1-and make money on his contract at that his assertion was rightly considered to he of value, for his reputation for reliability in rhis community is un- questioned. On the strength, there fore, of MT Hughes proposition, a meeting was called. al which means were promptly provided for raising the necessary funds. The matter then passed inlo the hands of the Super visors. who appointed a committee of viewers 10 examine the canyon in question (which Is really the only ob- siacle in the way of constructing one of the best roads in the Territory and report
 Then came the report of the com mittee of viewers, which expressed the opinion that the project of con- structiug a road through the canyon is impraciicable from it's exceeding cosi-which was estimated at $40,00O. This report effectively stopped all movement toward building the road on the part of our business men. But { THE CITIZEN, knowing that Mir.
 Hughes would noi make his proposi- lion and statements unadvisedly, and also feeling hat il was in 6 measure
 responsible for starting and agitating the project, has been gathering inior
 nation on the subject, and now feels sure that the road is feasible pro feet, and demands that MT. Hughes | D
 offer be considered. In 8 cOuversa- ton with MT Hughes, to day, that gentleman reiterated his former asser- lions in such manner as 10 leave no
 room to doubt his earnestness. He
 has himself walked through the can yon Instead of viewing" it, and his reputation in thIs community will give his words weight.
 In support of MT. Hughes is the statement of MT Thomas II. Williams, q gentleman also well known in our community, and familiar with the grading and building of roads, having constructed roads bolh in Nevada and Arlzona. His statement is tO the ef-
 feet that the road can be built for less than the estimate made by the viewers, and he will shortly make survey of the canyon himself and submit an estimate 10 the Supervisors. He states that at this end of the canyon, IS miles from Tucson, is a fine spring of water which would of itself be of great val ue to freighters, as the first water on the old road is 2S miles from this city
 From still other parties we hear the same reports, and we ask that consid- eration continue to be given to the subject.
