rumor was circulated that the Met ropolitan bank was also in trouble. This story was denied for time, but later the bank stopped payment and closed It's doors. This brought in renewed offerings, and there was a fresh break as compared with the highest prices in the morning. There were fitful rallies until nearly2 o'clock p. m., when the market developed comparative strength, on the belief that the banks at their meeting would combine for mutual protector. This was found to be the case and the market advanced to the extent of 5 per cent. Near the close money became very active. Accommodations being refused in many cases the rate was suddenly advanced to the extra ordinary figure of 3per cent per diem. The failure of Hotchkiss & Burnham was announced during the afternoon. This unsettled affairs once more, and some stocks ran of } to 39 per cent. The market closed irregular, with some of the stocks quite firm. The action of the clearing house associat- ed banks in resolving to issue clear ing house certificates for 75 per cent. of the bills receivable, or securities held by the banks, and that the same be received and paid in settlement of balances between banks, at the clear ing house, had very reassuIing eff feet, late Tn the afternoon, and led to a more hopeful feeling, as this plan was tired with marked success in checking the panic of '73. This will enable the banks to lend moro fully to tine community and to brokers, and in connection with the action of Secretary Folger will result in re- storing ease to the money inter ests.

Resolved, That Tn endorsing the administration of the republican party, both national and territorial, and affirming our faith in republican principles and our devotion thereto, we nevertheless deprecate the prac- tice of federal officials who owe thelr positions to the fact that they are republicans, appointing to subordi- nate positions men of Democratic procliVlties, as being inconsistent, unfair and unjust to those who are maintaining republican principles in the territory, and tending to party disorganization. We know that there are men in the Republican ranks, of ability and integrity to ill every DO sition, and sll other things being equal, they should be given the pref erence.
 Resolved, That the true and tried republican. the great statesman, the man of brains and of heart, James G. Blaine of Maine, is the choice of the republican party of Arizona, for President of the United States.

The Board of Supervisors of this county are acting very strangely to say the least. There are several matters which demand immediate sttention from the Board and which necessitate 8 meeting. Two of the members were in town last week and could have met and done the business required, instead of which they fol- lowed each other around the differ ent saloons, qusrreliug and making themselves the laughing stock of tue whole town, finally winding up with a long confabulation on the porch of the Eureka Saloon. Supervisor Hen kle was ready and willing to hold a meeting and even went so far as to offer in advance to agree to anything proposed by Hardy, in order that the necessary business might be trans acted. Anyone who kDUws Supervis- or Henkle will fully appreciate this concession on his part, for it IS sec Scnd nature for him to directly oppose Hardy ee..oyery occasion Sds SE no, iissi;Illf took advantage of the absence 6f the elerk for an excuse and would hold no meeting on any considera- ton Hardy well knows that ths Essence of the clerk was TO valid excuse, and that anyone could set as clerk pro tsn.in special mee in The truth of the matter is that Hardy IS mad about the way in which tLe newspaper warfare, winch he inaug- erated, has resulted, and he has adopted his present obstructive poli- ey ID order to grstify his personal spite, knowing that in the absence of Supervisor Grounds in Texas be has the county at his mercy. It IS time that this man was taught not tC use his official position to gratity hIs per sonal malice against ourselves and others, and on behalf of the taxpay- CTS of this county we demand his immediate removal from the position which he ursurped in the first place We demand also that the charges brought against him through the columns of this paper be investigated by the proper officers and that ii tbere is good foundation for them that he be at once impeached and dealt with according to law He is always making charges against other officials which he can -notpubstantiste and it is time he was made to take 8 good dose of his own medicine, though in his case we have no doubt but .hst an investigation by the Grand Jury will establish many of the charges made against him and bring out some very ugly facts.

In the Senate cn Wednesday an item appropriating S5OOo was put in the Indian appropriation to pay the expenses of a commission of three experts, who are to investigate the value and extent of the coal beds re- gently said to nave been found in the White Mountain Reserv ation, in the northern part of Arizona. It is said that these discoveries indicate that the coal found there is ct lp- mense value. Senator German, who offered the amendment, says the profits and benefits in the matter, ii there are any, are to go to the In disns now on the reservation, but there is suspicion that some white people are more interested in the result of the examination than are the Indians.

Lawrence Spiller, a farmer living back of Pet-l ersbug, had a handsome stepdaughter to whom he played the part of Blue beard. k 'eping her shut up whenever practicable. The country was full of rumors concerning their relations to each other, and 1t became matter of surprise when Edward Taylor, who worked for Spiller, asked fDr her hand in marriage. Spil'er refused point blank and threatened to kill Taylor iI he found him again on the premises.
 On Friday night the girl disap psared, having eloped with Taylor and gone to Petersburg. Spiller armed himself and followed, vowing death to the man if caught. At Pitts burg he learned that they were mar ried and lodging with man named Williams. Spiller went to Williams house and was told that the couple had retired. Forcing his way to their room he entered, awakening Taylor with the noIse he made. The bridegroom sat up in bed and Splller leveled his revolver at him. The wife begged piteously for his life,but Spiller fired, the bullet entering Fay lor's heart, killing him instantly
 Spiller then attacked the wife, hammering her over the head and bitterly denounclng her for deserting him. Leaving her for dead he rush. ed from the house, mounted his horse and fed. Williams gave. the alarm and an armed posse started in pur- suit. Spiller had returned home, where he was arrested and taken back to jail, The news came by messenger and at the time hs left the town indignation and excitement were intense. Mrs. Taylor was then in dying condition and mob law was feared in the event of her death.
