THE EARPS OF ARIZONA,
\ Gang OF Outlaws as Desperate as
Were the James Boys of Missouri


Our informant observed party of
six men ride down to the springs from
the east and they all dismouuted. They
had not much more than got well upon
their feet when there rose up, q short
distance away, nine armed men, who
took deadly aim and fired simulta-
neously at the carp party, for such the
men proved to be. Horrifed at the
sight that like lightning stroke flash
ed upon his vision, he instlnctvely
stopped and watched for what was TO
follow. Not man went down under
this murderous fire; but, like a thunder
bolt shot from the hand of Jove, six
desperate men charged upon their as
saiants, and when within easy reach re-
turned the fire, under which one man
went down never to rise again. The re-
manning eight fled to the brush and re-
gained their horses, when they rode
away toward Charleston, as if the King
of Terrors was at their heels in hot per
suit The six men fired but one volly
and from close range.
1t is supposed that several of the am
pushed cowboys are seriously, if not
fatally, wounded. The six meL re.urn-
ed to their horses, where one was found
to be in the agonies of death, having re-
ceived the leaden messenger intended
for his rider. The party remained at
the springs for some time, refreshing
themselves and their animals, when
they leisurely departed, going southerly,
rs they were making for Sonora.

THE president has pardoned Fitz
John Porter. The effect of pardon
is to relieve Porter from the continuing
part of his sentence. Since 1868 he
has been prohibited from holding any
office of honor or trust under the Unit
ed States. He is now relieved from
that prohibition. His partial friends
ia New Jersey may now, if they see fit,
send HIM to Congress, or they may vim
dictate him, as they did Mcclellan, by
making him Governor. The pardon
has no special significance. 1t may be
justified or excused by friends of the
Administration on the ground that he
has been sufficiently punished. Wheth-
er this is true or not the Executive has
exhausted its powers in his behalf, and
left him little better off than he was
before. No obligation has been inn
posed upon Congress to restore him,
and none can be imposed. The Presi-
dent has not the power to nominate
him for any army office, as he is past
the age at which he would be eligible.

THE Tariff Commission bill was taken
up and passed by the senate precisely
az it came from the house. 1t now
goes to the president for his sig
nature, which it will undoubtedly re-
ceive. "The affidavit for continuance"
will then be in form complete.
The next step will be the ap-
pointment of nine commissioners. Mr..
Arthur is II New YorkCity man, and
has heretofore been controlled by i'm
porters of that city. IF they have not
lost their influence, the commission
will be composed Representative men
who can comprehend the wants of con
fiicting interests. But the president
takes so small interest in public ques-
tons, and is so largely occupied in So
cial pleasures and duties that it is fear
he may leave the choice of the COM
mission to members of his cabinet.

newspaper

The republican newspapers OF ONO
take consolation in the thought that
there is God in heaven. This is not
only poor consolation for the loss of the
German vote, but actually forces an
issue with Bob Ingersoll that will shake
the grand old organization to its very
foundations Just how to harmonic
the German, temperance, God ana
morality and Bob Ingersoll elements
seems to sorely trouble the republican
patriot at this time.

One of the recent caprices of fash
ion in New York is the wearing OF
jeweled carriers. A mother presented
her daughte., about to be married,
with a beautifully made pair of elast-
les, with her monogram in pearls, Il
court of arms with frosted stork heads,
a crest of gold and a motto set in dia-

very few of that kind are sold, but
500 and 5000 garters, deliberately work

are very common, and the taste is
growing.

since it has been running it has allowed
NEARLY THREE TIMES as much water to pass
out as ALL THE SEWERS COMBINED. The
total capacity of the sewers, two of which
are eighteen and two-twenty inches in

recommending Mr.. George w. Tanner for

the beginning OF somewhat heated discus

wonderful phenomena Of water running up

Such was the announcement Of hand
bill, circulated about the city last Sunday,
which induced about three hundred citizens
to make the trip. The excursion party ar
rived at the gap little before five o'clock
when all went ashore to witness the pheno-
mena; spent about half an hour most
pleasantly, and returned home with hearty
contempt for the law Of gravitation 80 far

The water was still running with great
force, as it was also yesterday, through the
gap in the levec and through the ditch con.

a stream, about five feet wide and one foot
deep, was pouring; and through tho former
the water rushed IN stream of twelve feet
