led the treasury out OF an almost fabul-
GUS amount of money, as they most as
suredly did, the four lawyers who have
been employed by the Government to
conduct the prosecution against them
are in fair way, to use a vulgar phrase,
of making nice thing out of it, They
are Bliss, of New York, Ker, of Phila-
delphia, and Merrick and Wells. of
Washington. 1t seems that up to Mon
day last Bliss has been paid $50, 900
Ker, 5000, Nerrick, $4,000, and
Wells at the rate of 500 per day since he
has been employed. These sums cover
the amounts for professional services at
the former trial, as well as during the
present one, which may be said only
to have fairly commenced. Merrick is
much the better lawyer Of the four, and
yet be has bagged only one fourth the
amount received by Bliss; while Ker
has feathered his nest with more than
double the amount paid to Mer rick.
Wells, of course, won't be anxious to
see the jury retire until the fourth of
July, seeing that his daily pay is twen-
ty dollars. There is good deal Of very
LOUD talk among Congressman about the
propriety Of an investigation of the
question bow these contracts for fees
were made, and it ought to be done. If
the present trial last as long as the first
one the pay Of Bliss will amount to $50,
600. He is brother of DR.. Bliss, who
wanted to be paid S25, 900 for attending
Garfield after he was.shot. On the ques-
tion of fees they are experts.

GOVERNOR HOYT submitted his message
to the State Legislature on Tuesday after
noon of last week. It consists of nine col
umns OF the average newspaper. After
some general Introductory remarks he speaks
of the financial interest of the State which
he finds highly satisfactory. He refers to
the public schools in a complimentary man
ner, State normal schools, he thinks, should
be self sustaining. OF the soldiers orphan
school. which will close by act of Assembly
in 1885, he thinks that provision should now
be made for the children who will be wards
of the State at that time. A good portion Of
the message is devoted to the industrial re-
formatory at Huntingdon, the pententiari6s
at Pittsburg and Philadelphia, the reform
school at MOrganZa, ana the house of refuge
at Philadelphia, all of which are spoken of
as being in fine condition and as effective
as could be desired Speaking of the Ma
tiOnal Guard he says Its continuance,
under such conditions as will enable it to
hold its own present state of usefulness and
efficiency, as well as the confidence OF the
public, seems desirable in all points of
view" In his concluding remarks he says ::
For one, have faith in the conscience and
the growing intelligence OF our common
wealth, and its ability to cope with and
overcome the evils which have hitherto and
may hereafter beset US. To despair of the
virtue of the citizen is to despair of self gov
ernment, and to despair of self-goYernment
is to believe that the frame Of human sOcie-
ty is without a soul. We are beginning the
third century of our existence as State
The "reminiscences OF the hour are well
adapted to stir within US reflections upon
the possibilities Of organized society, the
secret Of right government, and the duties
of the free citizen in the free State. But

Card From Tr. Ross.

ED. CITIZEN: I see by the Tombstone Epitaph Shat since the safe robbery iu this town, said paper has been trying to iujure me, and lntimating that parties in Tombstone would swear th7t l was implicated in 1t. l would like very much for said editor or paper to produce the proof. That paper tells one story in regarI to my secretaryship of the Hook and Ladder Co. in Tombstone; I will tell the truth: The first night of meet ing there was turned in to me over three hundred dollars, and the President, Judge Walace, requested ne to take said money and keep it uli the next meeting, which ] refused to do, giving as my reason that the company had elected a treasurer, and he was the proper custodian of any funds belong tJ said company. The treasurer, Mr. Prid- ham was brought into the hall, and gave me his receipt for said money. The next night of meeting there was Sl2975 paId in to me. and the same request Was made of me and finally 1 consented Co keep sand money, which was iu the safe where ] was working. B bt Hatch, the foreman of said com pauy made a demand on ne for sald money; also the treasurer. l most emphatic lily told them l could not deliver any money to them no m re than l could to any other member of the company, and said, "you call @ sTsciai meeting, which the bylaws require, and ] will produce sand money There was u0 meeting called, aud | received 8 dis patch from Tucson, from @ saloon man, Co come down here vuIcG did hut dId not gu Go wa-k. he'd hIrdl. struck Tue son before a dispatch was handed me In- forming me that the sheriff was after me: but as 7 had done nothing to be afraid of, l remained til sand deputy sheriff came here; talked with him that evening and the mex morning went to Porter's hotel ana hal breakfast in company with friend. when sand Deputy Sheriff came up and read a warrant to me, accusing me oi emhezzlemeut. ! said l have heard ot if. and am going to take the train for Tombstone. winch l did. ] arrived Sat urdav night, and on Monday walked m to the office with said money, but dii not nay it over to th- president as he had no right to receive any money; but he couid call a special meeting which he did not do, and l remained in town tlll time for a regular meeting, and went t5 sad meeting and paid said money and took a receipt for the same. The books of said company will show that on that day my accounts were all balanced. T. Is very plain to me that enemies of mine have stirred this matter up and trying to aggravate the affair. Now that the safe robbery in this town has been cleared up and l am proved inno- cent, l should be only too happy to meet said enemies. and those to whom I have rendered assistance. when they were not as influential as they are now, consider worse than ungrHteful.
 Respectfully, J. K. Ross.

TIeTutaI Mr-ck Snicide.

The German shoemaker, Chas. Beis wiuger, who committed suicide on Tues day night at Total Wreck, was in Tue son last Tuesday. While here, the friend, in whose company he Was a large DOT tiou of the tune, saw nothing strange n his conduct. He bougIt the pistol wltL winch he committed the fatal deed, tl replace one that he had lost. He drew bis money from tine bank in tuIs city and the wh. le amount, something over SjIu. was found on hIs person after his death.
 inc coroner's jury found that deceas- ed was native of Murtemburg, Ger many, and Was aged about 42 years. He had lived Iu New York, and for the past few years resided in Harshaw, this county. He was sober and industrious man, and showed but a single eccentric ity: be harbored a morbid belief that all the people of Total Wreck, where he resided, despised him, and he would grow wildly excited when the subjec, was discussed. Other than this there seemed to be nothing troubling him.
 At the time of ms death he was con- ACAA l'AAAAAE AN.AAAH lAAA AN AEn1yAs lt t-A- fer into partnership with person fl that place in g business venture. He had drawn his savings for that purpose, and on the night before his death he had packed bis trunk aud had given orders Co be called early iu tho morning, il time to reach Puntano for the moruinc Z express going east. When called, about , o'clock on Wednesday morning, he made no response, and the person charged with the duty of awakening him, entered lis room, the door being unlocked, and found him dead ID hls bed. The pistol was still in his grasp, the mUzzle close Co his right ear; he had apparently not moved a muscle after firing the ball through his brain. He leaves a brother ln New York and one iu Philadelphia.

Mir WE Stevens.

Mir. W. E. Stevens, the leading hard ware merchant of this city, has secured the right for Pima county for the manufacture and sale of the Asbestine water pipe, the cheap est and best pipe in the world for irrigation and drainage purposes. It Is practically Indestructlble, and long con- tinued use ia Southern California and elsewhere has proven 1t to be the most economical and at the same tune the most desirable pipe in use. It Is made and laid where 1t Is needed, in a rapid and substantial manner, and at once fOssIliZes into a solid rock, i'm pervious to water or gases. It IS superior to glazed pipe, terra cotta or brick, as 1t does not choke mp and is more enduring. It does not break or rust, nor will fungus grow on 1t. Hundreds of miles of 1t are ln daily use in Southern California alone, and all who have used 1t are loud ID their praises of its great worth. Here in Ari- zona, where freight is SO very high on iron piping. the Asbestine pipe will be found particularly available, as all the materials necessary for its construction either exist naturally here or can be cheaulv procured. Persons needing piping should give Mir. Stevens a cell be- fore purchasing elsewhere. In the va rious classes of hardware Mir. Stevens. as a dealer, stands pre-eminent. Every iirst-class stove manufactory in the United States has been placed under contribution to complete his stock and supply his growing trade. Roofing, either of sheetiron or tin, IS made a specially Crockery, glass and plated ware are also largely carried. His prices are without the pale of competition. Give him a call

\ "Reminiscences.

Next Sunday will be the 2lst anniver sary of the arrival of the advanc, detachment of the California column into Tucson. They marched across tn, country from Wilmington, California through the deserts, in the burning heal of constant sunshine, sometimes march ing as far forty-ive miles per day il order to reach watering places to camp Col. J. II. TOOle, who is one of the very few survivors of that command, recalls their entrance into this city. As they halted tired, dusty and travel worn, OI Main street near where II. ;. Stevens house now stands, and took the covers from their arms and unfurled their bright flags to the breeze, old Mrs Lambcrtson, who Is now supposed to be Lving in Prescott, clapped her hands to- Iether m an ecstacy of joyfulness and cried out There's the stars and stripes again, thank GodT
 Those were trOublous times. A few days before the arrival of the troops, Mr. Hiram S. Stevens and two or three others went out to the RillitO on busi- ness matters. They were jumped by the Indians, and the only one who es- capped with his life was Mir. Stevens. who chanced Co elude the vigilance of the savages by dOdg1ng through the brush in a friendly wash. In those times the mails were brought .o Tucson on horse back, the carrier riding rapidly from each vidette station tO the next. News papers were too bulky to be carried and all important news was clipped from the papers and the slips enclosed in enve- lOpes and forwarded as letters.
 Four days after Col. TOOle arrived in Tucson, be was appointed post commis- sary and post quartermaster; also divi- sIon commissary and quartermaster, and superintendent of the videttes. His rem iniscences are very interesting, and would make a chapter of pleasant read ing if properly cOllated.

Tho NInner Hecnrered

The money stolen from the Fashion Saloon safe last week has been all recov- cred. The parties who owned the com, assisted by the officers. worked up every clue. and when Rainbow and Chapman were arrested few days ago they were certain the right parties were captured. Other developments quietly followed, and Sheriff Paul went to Tombstone to brrng back an sccompl'ce. and at the sam time one of the parties accessory to the robbery conducted the proper parties to a point halfway up the noun tain side beyond Warmers mill and Un- covered the bags Of coin which had been safelycached there by the thieves. It IS likely that testimony has been secured sufficiently direct to convict the chief conspirators in the transaction, and the lesser criminal, whose confession re- stored the money. will undoubtedly be rewarded by his liberty, and perhaps a generous donation from the owners of the recovered money.
