TAkIN& i TRIP.
Two Little Girls leave Tombstone and GO tO California; Vigor- OuS Search and Their Final Dis cOVery.

On Sunday last two girls, aged about thirteen years, left their homes at Tombstone, ostensibly to- go To Sunday school, but in reality they had undertaken long and wearisome journey. They had heard of their grandmother residing in Los Angeles, and thought they would like to see her, and had determined upon taking little trip of about SIX hundred niles for that purpose. They took with them a small package of crackers and cheese for food on the road, and with out having a cent Of money they left Tombstone on foot for Benson.
 On Monday Tombstone was in a state ot excitement over the myste- rious disappearance of the girls, and search was being diligently made for traces Of them, but without success. The excitement had increased to a general alarm by Tuesday, and nearly every body in the dolorOus city were lending hand in the search. Among the most vigorous in the hunt was MT. W. II. Fowler, mining superir- tendent, and formerly detective in Oakland, who procured a team and went beyond the crowd to look for the tracks of lhe little ones. His search was rewarded by finding impressions of their dainty shoes in the soft earth along the roadside leading to Benson. He traced lhem twenty miles, where a kindly disposed driver of team had picked them up. On reaching Ben son MT. Fowler ascertained that the travellers had taken the freight train on Monday morning going west. Fully expecting to find that they were put of at Panjano, MT. Fowler left his team and took the nrst train coming this way. At PantanO he could find no trace of them, and he came on to Tucson, arriving shere Tuesday. He sought every avenue of infoi nation concerning them, but finally con- cluded they had continued their journey towards California. Then came an unsatisfactory inter- change of telegraphic dispatches over the railroad line, lasting late into the night Finally. about o'clock Wednesday,, the girls were found on the train lhis side of L,s Angeles, travelling as conientedly along as though accustomed to such trips. Uron MT. Fowler's promising to bear the expense, they were trans ferred Wednesday 10 the east bound express and will arrived in Tucson Thursday morningand proceeded with Mir. Fowler via Benson to Tombstone
 MT. Fowler left Tombstone with S1l0 in his pocket, and told no one whither he was gong, and he is very likely now looked upon at home as missing-anOther mysterious disap- pearancc. He, however, telegraphed yesterday 10 the father of one of the runaway laSscs the as- surance that he would find them and bring item safely home. His fidelity 10 rhe self-imposed task-a task he conceived to be sacred duty, although ihe parties are almost total strangers to minis deserving of the highest commendation, and, as he has consumed all the money he had brought with hIm-$1l0-in the search and in bringing the gIris home, his generosity is as unbounded as his spontaneous philanthropy is noble.

PLUCKY PETE.
\ Mob Attempts to Lynch a Mur- derer in the Hands of Sheriff J. P. Gabriel-A Determined and Successful Resistance.

On Sunday last rullian, who gave his name as J. H. Floyd, shot and in- sIantly killed American Charley, a well known citizen of Florence. The deed was committed in cold blood, and under such circumstances as to rouse the spirit of summary venge- ance iu the people of that place, and they immediately organized with the intention of lynching the murderer.
 Sheriff J P. Gabriel, who had the prisoner i'll charge, anticipated the movement, and in broad daylight yesterday took Floyd 10 Casa Grande, en route To Tucson, for safe keeping. He was followed by a party of de- termined men from Florence, who took him by surprise and at a disad- vantage, and with leveled guns at his breast demanded of him the prisoner. Without filnching or exhibiting any fear whatever, the brave officer de- lied the crowd and refused 10 comply with their demands, and with sheer superiority of courage kept eight or ten men from accomplishing their purpose. After time he secured other assistance, and the crowd with drew for consultation. All night and until the train from the west reached Casa Grande, Sheriff Gabriel main tained his vigilance, and at last sue ceeded in convincing the crowd of the folly and uselessness of their efforts, just as the train rolled up to the de- pot. The prisoner was quickly trans ferred on board and reached this city in safety this morning and was con- signed to dungeon in the county jail.
 While there would doubtless have been a merited justice in the swift retribution intended by the indignant citizens, yet when an officer of the law has a plain duty to perform he should be aided in its discharge by all good citizens, however repugnant to their feelings such assistance may be, for when wholesome laws are held in contempt the life and property of every citizen is thereby more or less jeopardiZed, and license for other laWlessness tacitly recognized.

Clean the Streets.

EDITOR CITIZEN: The peculiarly with which the street sweeping force is operated and the comfort of clean streets granted by the officers in charge is q matter of no little com ment among many of our Obseryant taxpayers, running at times into no qualified insinuations as to very vis- ible display of favoritIsm, or some thing worse, by them.
 For instance, while parts of Main, Never and Congress streets, with Church plaza, Camp and Church streets, are generally swept twice g week, some of the more principe. thoroughfares leading into this '.e most densely populated and bushes part of town, are seldom or never cleaned. If my recollection Is right, Jackson and OchOa, between Stone avenue and Meyer street. and Con- vent, between Camp and Mccormick or Cushing streets, have not been swept since the present incumb=nts have been in office. There may be, and very likely are, other streets GAuhlll NAANAO NANeN SNt's dogs, chickens and filth of every con- ceivable degree ot nastiness is allowed to remain and rot, until worn out or covered up by more of the same sort, exhaling it's sickening odors 10 the disgust and peril Of the hundreds of men, women and children who must pass through these streets daily. Is it fair? Is it rightg Are these of- ficers doing their duty to all the peo- pie, as officers are elected 10 dor
 One taxpayer IS entitled to as much consideration as another in respect to the safety and benefit to be derived fIOm public works. Now, SIT, news papers are, at the present day, the recognized medium through which all public grievances should be venti- lated, and are sometimes used for the obnoxious display of private ones. This, however, is matter affecting Ihe health and comfort of large DOT ton of the inhabitants of this hIstor- ical Othat's q good word, and more pertinent than the one commonly used) and ancient pueblo, so just fire it at those fellows for gentle re- hinder.

EreigltS.

A New York dispatch of the 14th says: "There are no later develop ments in railroad matters, and al- though none of the late rumors have been confirmed, it is probable that by the 1st of July there will be changes. Two new fast freight lines are being arranped. one over the Erie Railroad and the other over the New York Central and the Wabash road to St. Louis and Kansas City; thence by the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe and Southern Pacific roads to San Francisco. The New York Central line will be known as the Eagle line. This movement is believed Go be in anticipation of the breaking up ot the present pool and the diverting of bus mess to H new route.

Railroad News,

Mir. A. A. LOngstreet, Superintend- ent of Bridges and Buildings of the Southern Pacific Railroad, is in from Fl Paso. From him we learn that the road is now completed to that place, and regular trains will run there, beginning next Thursday. Grading is being pushed forward down the Rio Grande 10 meet the Galveston, Harrisburg and San Anto- nio Railroad, and q gap of s5out 300 miles only now exists between them. As building Is going on from each end, the completion of a through route to Galveston is but a matter of a short time.
 From Fl PasO the Texas Pacific has already graded eastward about one hundred miles of road bed, leaving but one hundred miles more 10 make their connection with the East to Fl Paso. IL Is rumureC that this road will form a business connection with the Southern Pacific.
 The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Road are about fCIty days from entering Fl Paso, owing to the lack of materials for road construction, al- though the road bed is fully graded.
 Al Fl Paso the Southern Pacific are building a round house of fifteen stalls and an engine house 2G0 long and will erect passenger and freight depCts, sheds and other buildings.
 The town of Fl Paso, or Franklin, is as yet but a small adobe place, but enjoys a good trade. The peculiar topography of the country renders il absolutely necessary that all railroads of that section should pass through the town, and as IL will be the con verging point of five lines of railway an important commercial city will spring up.

TIE RETURN FROM MECCA.-While at Damascus 1 was fortunate enough to witness the return of the pilgrims from Mecca. The whole city was n the streets, bright sun lighting Up the brilliant variety of dresses and costumes which jOstled one against the other. Now and then a dervIsh would force his way through the crowd begging aims, or coLiec- tloner would pass along with his tray balanced marvelously and immOvably on the top of his head. The process sion of the pilgrims was heralded by the sound of a trumpet; then marched the troops, travel stained ard "shab- by, who had formed their escort on the way after these came about loo of the garrison, mounted on horses, with swords drawn, and few can non, and the Pashs's palankin in their midst. Next followed the sacred copy of the Koran beneath its canopy of green and gold, under the folds of which, us it swayed uneasily to and fro on the camels back, a boys head and shoulders appeared. Behind WAS A second camel bearing the green and gold banner of the prophet, and ac- companied by the three sheIks in white turbans banded with gold. The first was enveloped in robe of pur- pie and gold; the last in one of green and gold, marking his descent from the family of Nohpmmcd. After the sheiks came the pilgrims and their families on csmels, all equally ragged and dirty. These were followed by the band of the garrison, and a com pany of foot soldiers brought up the rear. The procession was not, per haps, a very striking one in itself, but the crowd which had flOcked to wit ness it, filling the streets and shops, peering out of the windows, and lin- ing the fiat roofs of the houses, was sight well worth travelling long dIs- tance to see AthenGum.
