Success of the Organ Festival.

The festival at the school house Wednesday evening last was a com plete success. The people evinced their encouragement of the enterprise of the ladies by full attendance and the ardor with which all entered upon the pleasures of the occasion. The long tables were thrice filled with guests, who pronounced the supper the "best seen spread in Arizona. !" Supper over, ice cream, lemonade, busily traversed the rounds of the gay company. The luminous faces oi MT. Cameron and Mir. Bell, surround ed by a bevy of young ladies, shone steadily from "post office corner. !" Billet, deaux came to old and young alike, and all seemed happy with the witty messages received. The ex- pression was frequently heard, "how our eastern friends would open their eyes if they could look in upon this Arizona gathering to night" For the evenings entertainment the peo- pie are specially indebted to-Mrs. Marshall, Mrs. Hoxworth, Mrs. Thomas, Mrs. Spahord, Mrs. Kilpat- rick, Misses Rawson, Brothers. Hox- worth, Miss Lamport, Miss Beale, Miss Taylor, Miss Rumsey, Miss Mar shall, ,-and for the bountiful repast, to all the ladies of Flagstaff who con tributed so generously for the occa- sion. Grateful mention should be made of the highly appreciated servl- ces of the Flagstaff string band, whose excellent music added to the pleasure of all. Net receipts from the festival, including a contribution of ten dol- lars from Messrs. Dykes and Cornish, are S75.

s. E. Marshall.

MT. s. E. Marshall, of Fort Deh- ance. clerk of the Navajo agency, has been in town this week, the guest of D. M. Rlordan. Mir. Marshall was clerk during MT. Riordan's admins tration as agent for the Navajo nation, and is here now to close up the last quarters business with his former chief. MT. M. is accompanied by Mss Wilson, of Silver City, New Mexico, and Miss Mason, of Manulito, who are guests with MT. Riordan's family. The party, under escort of Major Miner, visited the Cliff Dwellers one day this week and have visited other places of in- terest during their stay here. MT. Marshall reports the capture of three of the Indians who murdered Walcott and McNelly, and they have been turned over to the military at Fort Wingate. One of the murderers is still out, and it is supposed he has gone over to the Utes. The new In. dian agent, John H. Bowman, of Gunnison, Colorado, is giving good satisfaction, and is popular with the tribe.

RED RUIN.
Nearly the Whole of old Town Laid in
 Ashes.

Early Tuesday morning a fire was discovered in old town by James Bai ley, in the rear of Drake's dance hall He immediately gave the alarm, ant although he had large building clos by, before proceeding to move hi goods personally, went from house to house to wake up the occupants. The fire had gained too much head. way to be extnguished. and as it was sure to sweep the whole row west. the wlnd blowing from the east, the owners at once commenced moving out their goods, but the flames sprang from building to building with such rapidity, that in some instances the owners had barely time to get oul with the clothes they could get on. The fire went clear down the row. and aside from Beale's and McLaugh lin's, buildings, the old town is a thing of the past, as those who had enough left to build with are coming 10 new town.
 The following is fair estimate oi the loss, including buildings, as we could gather: Mir. Drake, S2oo; John Francis 5000; Stanley & Coax ley, 5000; J. Bailey, SI,ooo; Oar Murphy, on stock, $500; Mother Dolan, $500; Sterling s2oo, anc Feisley sI5o, upon which there IS nc insurance
 The cause of the fire is attributed to carelessness on behalf of a femal, in the dance hall, who knocked owe lamp.
