| RHnaMaY Train.

The San Francisco Chronicle, Sunday issue, states that the train due East on Wednesday morning last narrowly es capped accident. IL says that as'soon as the train left Tucson and got fairly started on the down grade the engineer pulled the throttle open and the train went down the slope at frightful rate Of speed. which increased with each revolu- ton Of the wheels. The engineer at tempted to slack up and applied the air brake, but the brake was evidently out of order, as 1t would not work. After several unsuccessful attempts to check the speed of the train, the now thoroughly alarmed engineer whistled for brakes. The occupants Of the cars were panlc-strickeu and the shrieking Of the whistle added tO the confusion. The two brakemen and the con duciOr applied the hand-brakes as quickly as possible, but the train had attaIned such a velocity that they had DO effect and Tn rounding the sharp curves the cars rode on two wheels. After the runaway train had travelled about five mles and struck slight up raise the speed of the tram slackened and it was brought to stop.
 Attached to the train was a specIal car containing 4. 4. Bean, the Division Superintendent. and other railroad officers. At the time the train began to run Iwsy the party were eating dinner, but soon the swaying motion of the car caused them to stop, and when the crockery and edibles commenced Co tumble about the brave railroad officers became alarmed and fled into the for ward coaches. Considerable damage was done in the special car, seats being overturned, lamps broken, etc. In the baggage. mail and express cars, which have no exits but doors in the sides Of the cars, the men calmly awaited the crash of the wreck which they momen- iariiy expected.

Judgde Hoover Sustained by His AS.
 SofiafeS

SOciateS.
 The Tombstone Mill and Mi0ing Company vs. The Way Up Mining Con- pany. When this case came up for hearing, Judge Hoover i'll open Court in the presence of the Court opened an envelope which contained letter from John Haynes and Thomas Mitchell en- dorsing a copy of an affidavit made by Prof. Church which ayerred that charges had been filed at Washington against Judge Hoover accusing him of corrup- ton m this and other cases, and upon this affidavit asked for a continuance Of the hearing of the cause. Judge Hoover himself read the affidavit and letter in open Court to the Court and remarked that he remitted the matter tO the judgment of his associates. Judge Mitchell offered to present the original affidavit and asked to be heard upon the application for a continuance and upon the subject matter of the affidavit. The Court after consultation declined to hear any argument from Mir. Mitchell or from Judge Smith who appeared for respondents. After further consultation Judge PInney sad: 'l will express my opinion in this matter and Judge French can express his. have thIs to say, that go long as have known Judge Hoover have always found him to be An upright and honorable gentleman, mp to this time 1 have seen no reason to change my opinion. In all my practice l have never known such a proceeding Tn a Court as this; do not think that this affidavit ought to be filed or that such an application ought to be entertained by this Court"
 Chef Justice French, announced the decision of the Court that the affidavit would not be permitted to be fled and the application would not be heard.
 During the argument pro and con Judge Mitchell refused to slt down at the repeated request of the Court and was fined Sl0 for contempt.

Seductive Sonora.


 Mir. John Lowe, of Santa Ana, left on Tuesday for Hermosillo, Sonora, where he expects to remain abOu. five months attending to his agricultural implement and hardware business. Mir. Lowe re- gently returned from a trip through SO- nora, and he speaks in glowing terms Of the bright prospects. rapid develop ments, etc, of that section, that the State IS rapidly becoming Americsnized; the people are progressive and gladly welcome Americans to their midst, and that peace and good order are pre- served to an extent hardly believed by Americans. Hermosillo has about 16,- OO0 population, from 500 to 1000 ofwhOm are Amerlcans. Water facilities are abundant, police regulations are unsur- passed and business houses of all kinds also the saloons are closed at 10 o'clock every night. Mr. Lowe has purchased land near Hermosillo and expects to see Sonora an American State within five years if the present influx of Ameri cans continues. He believes that Los Angeles IS destined to become the cen ter of supplies for that section of coun- try ard that the people prefer to trans. act business with CaliforniRns rather than with Eastern merchants.

ASSiGNMENT.
Another Great Mercantile House Gone
 Down--FaiIure Of wn. Z-ekendorf.

Another Great Mercantile House Gone
 Down Failure Of wm. Z-ekendorf
 Another much to be regretted occur renee took place in the failure Of Wm. Zeckendorf, one Of the oldest and heav- lest of Tucsoa's merchants, this morn- ing. Universally it was a surprise to all, and no credit was at first given to the assignment runor, but later on the report was ascertained to be only too true.
 The liabilities are estimated by the assignee, Mir. L. M Jacobs. at Sl50,0O0, with nominal assets at nearly double that figure, but Rs to that nothing Hc- curately can be ascertained until an h. ventory of the stock on hand has been taken and q schedule made mp there from, which cannot be completed for q week yet.
 Among the different creiItJ-s two only have been preferred, that of the II.- porters and Traders Bank of New York city and the First National Bank of Tue son, the former in a sum of S9.40O and the latter for ST, ,J00.
 The cause of the suspension Is at tributed to pressure of creditors, bad trade and difficulty III collecting amounts due the firm. The bulk of the idebtedness IS held in New York and other cities East.
 It Is the purpose of the assig gnee, to continue disposing of the goods as usual and applylng the proceeds to the benefit or the debts against the firm have been hquidsted.
 The failure IS to be sincerely regretted Mir Zeckendorf arrived from New York on Tuesday last, and taking all things into consideration, he deemed his present step the best thing that under the circumstances he could do.

LEGAL LORE.
Opinions of Iudge W. W. Hoover of the
 First Judicial District Court

 Opinions of Iudge W. W. Hoover of the
 First Judicial District Court.
 In the First District Court, Territory of Arizona in and for Pima county. Hughes vs. Ingram.
 Tais is a motion by defendant to dissolve an attachment levy made upon certain effects, goods or credits in the hands of the bank of Hudson < O., in said action.
 The first point made by defendant Is that the summons and writ of attach ment were issued out of this Court at the same time upon January l3, lSS3, and that the summons was returned served upon the defendant and filed m the Clerks office January 24th, 1885. That the writ of attachment was not re- turned at the same time but was re- tained by the Sheriff and the said levy was made on February list, 1883 as ap- Dears hv the reiu.4 ,,a the writ which was returned and filed February l4th, 1883, and lat for said reason sad levy is void.
 Section lis. Chap. 4S, Comp. Laws 4jO, provides "rhe Sheriff shall return the writ of attachment with the sum mons If issued at the same time; other wise within twenty days after its re celpt
 See. 2s, Id. p. 4l2, provides g The summons shall be returned with the certificate or affidavit of the officer Of its service, and of the service of the
 sn h.. affr faF the Clerk III which the complaint Is fled.
 IL Ia suggested by plaintiff that this provision should be construed to mean not that the return of the writ and sum moEs must be made concurrently but that the writ must be returned within the time limited by law for the return of the summons, as no statutory period IS prescribed, and the provision Is that the summons must be returned with the certificate of service, itfollOSs that were tbe Court 10 hold that tue return of the two papers should not be concurrent there would be no boundary or limit by which 1t could be determined when the writ should be returned. The intent seems to be that the writ shall not be returned until jurisdiction of the per- son is acquired by service Of summons and on the happening of that event re- turn of both papers shall be concur reutly made. Under the views here ex- pressed rho conclusion follows that the writ was dead upon the return of the summons and the proceeding upon 1t thereafter will not support seizure of property.
 The motion of defendant is granted

TUESDAY, Feb. 70.
stage Robbers Captured.

It is learned from the Clifton Clarion that the three stage robbers who held up the stage on the Clifton and Lords burg road on the night of the 4th instant, have been captured and are now in close custody. One of them IS named Alfred Briggs, R blacksmith, who had worked for the Detroit Copper Com pany at their mines, and was considered an honest, industrious and trustworthy man. Hls connection with the robbery was a surprise to those who knew him. About a month ago he quit work and went to Lordsburg, where he probably met his two sccomplicss, who gave their names as Arthur Craymond and Billy Coleman. The latter IS supposed to be a deserter from the army. Photographs of the highwaymen were secured before they were removed from Clifton to Stafford, the county seat, where they will be held in $500 bonds each to await the action of the grand jury.

In Northern Arizona along the Iith- eodendren, PuercO and Carrisso rivers, immense quantities of Detrifactlons are found, in fact, whole forests exist in a petrifed state The atmosphere there is very pure. It was ID 1864 that the writer of this, upon his trip to Prescott, found a little Indian boy by the road side, dead, where he had been thrown bY the Navaios ten or twelve days be fore. as they were passing from that country to their reservation on the Pe- cos, New Mexico. The youngster was not in the least decayed but seemed to be passing into a state of petrifactIon. We turned the little fellow over and left him. No doubt long since he has become as if made of stone. and would be auIte q curiosity in the Smithsonian Institute, at Washington. When times admit we shall go in se arch of the curi- osity, and either start out with our show or donate the specimen to the Institute aforesaid mentioned. Arizona IS a cu- rious country indeed.-Miner.

But as evidence of good faith for their return within c given time, shippers will be required 70 give a bond, to be re- turned to then on the return of the sacks, GOODS or pens, in question. Such liberal rulings will do much to foster friendship and assist in building up An already growing trade between the two countries.
