Rearraigned.


RearraiGned.
DUBLIN, Dec. 10.-In the Court of Queens
Bench today trial was begun of Robert Ell
liott, Swords Magrath and L. E. Strange, on
a charge OF conspiring to murder VIM.
Smy the, OF Borba Villa. A true bill for the
murder of Mrs. Smythe was returned on the
9th inst. against Elliott, and his arraignment
to-day upon a minor offense only created
surprise. The crown counsel recounted the
circumstances of the case and said he would
prove the men were waiting on all the roads
leading from church to the residence of
Smythe to kill him.
Patrick McKeown testified that before the
murder of Mrs. Smythe the prisoners
met in barn and formed an assassination
society," the avowed object of which was the
removal of tyrants and bad landlords. Five
landlords were condemned to be shot-Wil-

The Rnrro Rnrro Furnace.

Messrs. F. Fair and q. Kreamer. ot the firm of Fair < Kreamer, furnace builders, of San Francisco, are in the city, having just completed the two rever beratory furnaces at the Burro Burro mine, two miles south of the Gunsighi in Myers district. These gentlemen are practical builders, and with the assist. ance of Mr Maxwell kreamer, son of one of the firm, they constructed the works in just two months time.
 The furnaces are built in very substantial manner, of hard granite, quarrled on the mining claim. and are lined throughout with fire brick. In the construction of the furnaces, which are each IT. fee: long by l3 feet wIde, over l1j perch of stone were used and ten thousand fire brick. The walls are three feet thick at the base and eighteen inches thick at the top. The huge stack, fifty feet high, is nIne feet square at the base and five and half feet square at the top. Its construction required 4jO perch stone. All the parts are made in the most substantial manner, and the furnaces were fired up a few days ago to test them, and were found to be per feet. It is thought, with the intense heat that can be generated by this style Of furnace that no difficulty will be ex- perienced in reducing any class of smelt- ing ore that the mines may produce.

SHOT DOWN.

Thomas Beiknap a Victim or t.se Assas-
 sins BuIict---Fuu Particulars of the
 Crime---FataI Termination Probable
 About l o'clock this morning Dr. J. c.
 Handy received an urgent telegraphic message from Pantano to repaIr at once to that place as a man had been shot. By 2 o'clock a special engine left the de- pot with the doctor on board, and soon after daylight 1t bad become uoised about the streets that Thomas Belknap bad been shot on Sunday night in G.eu-Cr.ile, mining town south of The Empire ranch. The facts coGid be traced to no source, and the simple -u- nor, without any of the particulars, was all thGt could be heard.
 Later on in the day a CITIZEN repor- ter happened to be at the depot, and de- tected in the clicking of the telegraph instrument a message to sheriff Paul, the purport of which is withheld for pru- dential reasons, but 1t intimately re- ferred to the trouble of Sunday night. \ special engine was also started to bring Dr. Handy in from Pantano, and upon his arrival here shortly after 8 o'clock the following particulars were learned:
 Mir. Thos. Belknap is opening up sev- eral promising properties in the Santa Ritas, and had gone to hls camp for tine purpose of paying off his employee m stly Mexicans. After dIsbursiug about five hundred dollars yesterday. the Mexlcans got on drunken spree, and their eiiervesCIug spirits could find no more fitting expression than in sham battle. and they fired their pistols in the most reckless manner m all and every direction, the chief object sought being the noise.
 Mr. Belkuap, hearing several shots fired, started Uu the hill to ascertain the cause, and before reaching the scene of the noise what Is thought Go be a stray bullet struck him in the right groin, the ball passing through a portion of the lntest mes and base Oi the bladder, com ing out just below the left kidney. I'm after Mir. Belkuap fell, two Of tine Nexicans fled, and this fact g1ves color to the intimation by one person at l at the camp that 1t was deliberate mur- iel. The names and description of the | two men were telegraphed by Dr. Han 1 iy Co Sheriff Paul, and be IS now in pursuit of them and will probably cap- .ure them.

The Presidin Grnnf.

General Robbins commenced the talk
 ing of testimony in the PresIdio grant ! to-day. He conducted an extensive and
 critical examination of Jose Herreras. going thoroughly into the minute de- ] tails coming within the cognizance of l the witness. Senor Herreras is seventy seven years old, having been born in l the city of Tucson about five years after this alleged grant was claImed to have been made. and therefore was selected as a witness on account of his personal and intimate knowledge of the facts
 His examination was most interesting, and tue degree of intelligence with
 which the witness marked and establish ei points connected with the grant
 showed his selection as a witness to have been a good one. This alleged grant is 60 most important one to the people of Tucson, involving, as the claimant Df the alleged grant say. a very valuable portion of the city o; Tucson.
 In addition to the oral examination Of witnesses, Gen. Robbins proposes Go accompany the witnesses iu person to the place the alleged grant is claimed tO cover, and have them point out the monuments, springs and other promi- nent land marks, identifying the exact whereabouts of the locus of the grant. Their intelligent and business like sys- tenn of examination will admit of no CT Tor, and assures to the people an intel ligent decision Tn the premises. The examination will be continued from day to day until all the witnesses are ex- amined. Mr. Samuel Hughes WAS ey- amiued this afternoon.

When the noise of opening the cell door was heard, the gu7rds knew that an outbreak was belng attempted, and, according to thelr statement, they ap- prehended that an attempt would be made to open the small door, to the middle guards corridor, which was not considered strong, and they concentrat- ed in that corridor to meet any attempt to escape by that door, and aJ the same time dispatched word to Superinteud- ent Meeden and the turnkey, the for mer replying that he would come up in a short time.
 At one end of the main corridor, the stone work beside the archway had been removed pending the work of extending the cells, and an aperture existed sui ticiently large to admit the passage of a person. if he could climb tu that height or tbe existence of this aperture the guards profess to have been ignorant, not having been informed of t by the superintendent. The guards therefore remained at the small gate during the mght, and when Saturday morning ar- rived 1t was discovered that the five couvicts that cell No. ,. had contained, had made good their escape. The hole through which they left looked as mg as barn door after they had flown, ul- though it seemed entirely invisible Co the guards the evening before.
 It was found that the prisoners had filed off the lock bolt, and with crow bar which they had successfully conceal ei in their cell for some weeks, they found no difficulty in opening the door. FsrN.tN to see m the daylight or evening twilight, did not escape the observation 0i the prisoners in the blank darkness of nine o'clock, and they lost but little time in gaining the worlds freedom beyond the cheerless bars of the great stone prison.
 The prisoners were of a character that better serve the world under the closest restraint, and they were sentenced tO long terms of imprisonment. One of them was Billy the Kid, No. ?, of bless ed memory in TOmbstone: the names of the others are not vet learned in this city
 On Saturday morning. Indian trailers were put on their track. and found but little difficulty iu tracing them along the railroad towards Tucson. They had followed the fugitives about twenty-five miles, when they learned of their cap ture by the railroad section hands at Gila City, thirty miles from Yuma. The convicts had no arms, and still wore the prison uniform. It is remarked with surprise of their stupid ity in keeping on the line of the railroad and telegraph communication, where detection was sure to follow, while so many better opportunities for escape that would bafila pursuit were presented to them.
 As the circumstances will be made subject of investigation, no comments will be made of the apparent negligence by officials and guards, and the lack Of rigid discipline that ought to exist in such an institution.
