A PRCULlAH AND HORRIBLE CAS-.
UALTY.

A very singular accident occurred
one night not long since at the Moer-
lein brewery, in Cincinnati. The cellars
are cooled by pure ammonia, which is
twenty times stronger than the aqua
Ammonia of commerce. The ammonia
il carried through the cellars by pipes
in the same manner that steam il car
RED through buildings for heating pus-
poses. One of the pipes burst. The
break occurred outside the cellar proper
and under one end of the stable. In an
instant the entire vicinity was filled
with sitting gas. Twenty-three large
and valuable draueht horses fell dead in
their stalls. The team which was at
tached to o street car that happened TO
be passing the building fell upon their
knees. and with great difficulty dragged
the car beyond the reach of the dreadful
cas-. The passengers in the car were
nearly stifled. The stable boss Was the
only man who happened to be nearer
to the stable than the. people in the

According to the New Tor

According to the New York Herald a novel and interesting point as to the effect of marriage on the citizenship of a woman has just been passed upon by the Federal Court in Michigan. The United States statutes pro- vide that a woman who marrIes a citizen of the United States, land who might herself be natu- ralized," shall he deemed a citi- zen. The words quoted have been construed to mean any alien woman capable of being natura- lized Tn this country. All free white persons and aliens of African nativity or descent may be naturalized, and hence foreign women within these limits &C., quire citizenship by marriage with a citizen. But the Chinese are excluded from the right of naturalization, and hence no Chinese woman can gain citizen ship by marrying an American.
 It is we'll settled, then, that any foreign woman capable of being naturalized who marries a citizen of the United States be- comes for certain purposes a citi- zen herself. And this is equally true weather she marries an America citizen resident in the United States or in a foreign country and weather she resides with her husband in this country or abroad.
 The case that arose in Detroit was this: A Branch woman was married to an American citizen living in this country. She there by acquired American citizen ship. Her first husband died and sine married a second, who was a Frenchman, not naturalized, and therefore not citizen. The court holds that by the second marriage she lost the citizenship acquired by the first. The se- cond husband, though a resident of the United States, was a citi- zen of France. By the marriage the French citizenship of the husband became the citizenship of the wife.

On and after July 1st the Pull man sleeping car service will be put on the Southern Pacific road. It has been stated that the Pull man dining cars would also be run, but that seems hardly pro- bable. Tie $. P. company has been to considerable expense in putting up eating houses along the line from San Francisco to El Paso. and the revenue derived from them is no small item. It does not look reasonable to SUD- pose that they would allow any thing to detract from the business of these houses. From Fl Paso to New Orleans the eating houses are said to be very inferior or der, in which case the Pullman dinuine cars would be a positive
 benefit to the travelling public.

We learn on good auth ority that the family of Mir. J. F. Ket- cham is ill destitute circumstan- ces. Should this prove to be the truth Yuma county should feel under obligation 10 relieve their suffering. During the smallpox scourge, last winter, MT. Ret cham was one of the most active members of the board of health. It was while serving in that capacity that he contracted the disease, which SD soon carried him off. This service was rende- red without any remuneration whatever; and as nearly every one else who had anything to do in that matter was we'll paid, it is nothing more than justice 10 his family to make them some return. A warrant drawn in favor of his widow would be a help to her, and at the same time be a partial discharge of the obligation this county is under for MT. Ketcham's valuable ser vices.

The hot weather that we peo- pie of Y una are now enjoying is not of the oppressive oh lracter that is met with in other por- tions of the country. Although the thermometer may range high, the heat is of such a dry character that one is not incou- venieneed by it at all, and with
 the cool nights we have sleep is very refreshing and pleasant. An absolute need and necessity, however. in this community is cCol water. To obtain that 1t is necessary to have ice. But ice is now an expensive luxury in Yu- ma, There is remedy-an ef- fectual method of meeting this great want, and that is to make the ice here. Let the Territorial Prison Commissioners purchase a small ice machine. They have the clear water in the prison res-' ervoir to make ice with, the steam power in use on the hill is ample to run an Ice machine, and as for labor, why, ''there is thousands of it' right at hand. The cost of manufacturing ice is nominal, and the sale of it would prove source of revenue to the Territory. Again, the unfortun- ates confined in the prison could have cold water to drink at all times. The sale of the ice could be entrusted to some citizen at a small commission. The Con- missioners should order the pur- chase of an ice machine at once.
