Tho IYrncknd Train

The smash up on the Yuma division
 which resslted in the death of the fire
 nan, Mr. Ed Greenleaf, was more gen.
 eTal than was at first supposed. The
 train was a special bound west with
 twenty-one cars and caboose, fourteen
 Of which were consumed, together with
 the engine and tender. The burnt bridge
 was not discovered until the train was
 on the point of crossing, and it was then
 too late to avoid the consequences that
 followed Conductor Fred Turner had
 charge of the train, and together with
 engineer Walker and brakeman A. c.
 Smith jumped from the train without
 receiving any injury, although Smiths
 cail was SO close that he slid into the ar
 royo with the wreck. The fireman. Greenleaf, also attempted toI jump but unfortunately made the attem pt too late
 His body was fearfully crushed, but was not fastened in the debris. As soon as possible he was taken out and sent to Yuma where he had relatives. and at whose house he died, on Thursday morning. His body was shipped to Santa Ana for burial, at which place his wife and young child of four months re- side. The arroyo where he met his death is not more than six feet deep and l about thirty-two feet in width. The en- gine broke loose from the tender, gained | the opposite side, then turned over and | rolled to t.e foot of the embankment, where 1t was, so far as the wood work | was concerned, consumed together with the cars that were piled on top. The bridge had been crossed by the passen- ger bound East, but a few hours pre- 7iously, and 1t is supposed that at that lime the weeds and grass about the bridge became ignited, as two hours afterwards the fire could be plainly seen # Yuma, elght miles distant, and was .lso seen by the mel on the wrecked rain for a mile before reaching it, but IS the fire had burned low they sup 'osed it to be nothing more than an h. lian camp, or the fire of some benighted ramp, which are common sights along he road at night, and not until reaching he edge of the arroyo was the true con- ition of affairs known.

New Mnrnna


 The new wagons expected by Mir. CT. Etchells arrived yesterday and were taken to his shop at the foot of Congress street. They exactly fill the bill as or dered and many of them will soon be doing duty on the roads. There are nineteen of them and with but few ex- captions are sold. Others in need of good wagons are invited to give Mir. Etchells call and examine the remain ing wagons on hand. They were manu- factured at the great Stakeholder wagon factory expressly for use on the Arizona roads. Every part about them is war ranted to be as represented. They are in fact the best make of wagons ever put on an Arizona road.

MhirIing ToMard the Sun.

|
 The new comet is whiring through space at a tremendous rate of speed, and in time will span half the arch of the sky, making the autumn evenings bril- liant with iucandescent light. By the
 last of May the celestial visitor should
 be visible to the naked eye, and every
 one who cau command the use of a tele- scope ought to get at least one look at it
 before that time. It Is sight to be
 remembered, especially if the comet
 should make as great a display within
 two months as the astronomers predict
 it will Remembering that tbis gives
 promise of beng one of the grandest comets ever seen, 1t Is interesting to
 look at in its babyhOOd. It IS far from
 possessing anything imposing Tn its ap-
 pearance. Tue inexperienced observer has to look twice before SC, ing it at all, especially if the telescope he Is using be Of small aperture. Yet anybody can see that 1t Is an infant Hercules. It has head like star, compact and brilliant, and 1t trails behind 1t in its milliOn-mile a day flight little, straight, bright tail, bigger already away out there in space than most comets are able to display at their perihelion
 The latest observations confirm the early declaration made by Professor Boss, that the comet will go extraOrdi- narily close to the sun. No astronomer has succeeded in identifying 1t with any previous comet, and 1t is probable that 1t Is its first visit tO the solar system, at least men have made no records of the celestial phenomena It Is not impOs- sible that 1t last exhibited the glOrIes of its train to the inhabitants of the worlds revolving around some distant fixed star. Tn question Is frequently asked, "HOw large will the met beY It k impossible to say more than the judg- ing from the brightness of it's nucleus and the present rate of increase m the size of its tail; 1t ought to be a more brilliant comet rhan that of last summer But nobody can premise that l: Will bo, because the nature Of comets and the laws that govern the development of their taiis are not " T enough understood to enable astronomers tO make positive predictions concerning their appearance. This cumet's position when nearing the sun will not be such as to give us the best view Of it's tail. The comet of 1858, like this one, was watched from the time that it appeared as faint object in the telescope until It hung like great band of light in the western heavens.

He Got the Desired Information.
From the Detroit Free Press.

from li' DttFulL Ffet ffcr--
 It was the smoking car on the New York Central There was one chap who was clustering a great deal, and telling of how many duels he had fought, and behind him sat a small man reading a magazine.
 "Sii r' said the big man, as he wheeled around. "What would you do if chal- lenged?"
 Refuse" was the quiet reply.
 "Ahl l thought as much. Refuse and be branded a cOwardi What if gentle man offered you the choice of a duel or public horse-whipping-then what?"
 "Td take the whipping
 "Ahl I thought so; thought so from the looks of you. Suppose, sir, you had foully slandered me-"
 "I never slander."
 "Then. sir, suppose 1 had cOOlly and deliberately insulted you. What would you do?"
 I'd rise up this way. put down my book this way, and reach over and take him by the nose as I take you, md give it a three-quaster twist-just sOl'
 When the little man let go of the big mans nose, the man with the white hat on began to crouch down to get away from bullets, but there was no shooting. The big man turned red, then pale, then looked the little man over and re- marked:
 Certainly coursc-that's it ex- acilyr'
 And then the conversation turned on the general prosperity fthe country.

A couple Of tame rabbits, which by their owner had been forced to grub on their own account about four months since, hoped in to the yard of Col. Jas. H. Toole. Finding plenty to eat and comfortable quarters, they sat down to stay and multiply. T. add two and carry SIX was but the work of a month, the second and third months being dup licates of the first with liberal interest unfailingly thrown in. An increase of from two to two dozen in so short time with a fair prospect of doubling the amount weekly, caused Mr. Toole to look ut for bidders for his rabbit stock. He quickly disposed of all but one. Ac- cording to scriptural injunction 1t is not well to be alone, SO she paid a visit to a neighbor, returned home and at the end of a month presented Mr. Toole with a family of nine, and probablyf1r the sake of her reputation, she will do bettert than that the next time.

The principal place of business is in New York City, with headquarters for the Pacific coas; in San Francisco. The company are also largely interested in the reduction 1f ores, and by the "desul- phurizing" process in use in their works better percentage in the working of ores ii is claimed is obtaInable, than by any other known means. Colorado ores, that in the reduction works of that State returned but forty per cent. of their as- say value, was upon treatment as above described, made to yield ninety-eight per cent. at the cOmpany's works in San Francisco. The company make a specially Of reducing reheliious ores. and guar antee the result. in bullion within tvouty-four hours after the delivery of the ore. Mir Conduits visit to this place was to see the gas works and tc examine into the practibility of in- troducing plant Of their reduction works into Tucson. Although be re- mained here but few days, he was well satisfied that such works would if rightly managed, largely pay. He proposes to return shortly and ascertain more thoroughly the extent and values of the ore belts in the neighbOring mountains. If they are such as to warrant the out lay, his company will erect works in Tucson, of capacity equal to two hun dred tons per day. The enterprise will be started on its own responsibility and no aid whatever asked from our citizens. It will be some six months before the question can be fully determined, and if at that time the company are satisfd that the ore will be forthcoming then up goes the works.

Ed Greenleaf. the fireman injured in the wreck this side of Yuma a couple of days since, is reported to be still living, but no hopes are entertained for his re- covery. About a year ago his train met with an almost similar accident, but at that tune Mr. Greenleaf came out ofthe wreck unscathed, only to be crushed to death year later on. The train con- sisted of fourteen box cars flied with merchandise from the East, all of which were consumed, engine and tender in- cluded. How the fire originated is not known, but the trestle over the arroyo had burned close to the track, and the fire was not seen till the engine entered on, and soon the whole train was piled up n a chaotic mass and was consumed.

The twenty-ton galena silver smelter for the Plomoso mine in the the Planchas de Ia Plata, Sonora,will be shipped from San Francisco on June 20th, and erected ready for work at the mInes by July 20th. It is being built by Messrs. Ran kin, Brayton E Co.,, of San Francisco, and contains all their late improvements, being complete in every detail. Mr. D. G. Gafford, who is now erecting a furu- ace for Me~srs. $. II. Lucas & O., in Sonora. will superinteud the erection of the smelter. The Plomoso is one of the most promising of the great mines of Sonora.
