Change Of Railroad Time.

The new tune table of this division of the Southern Pacific railroad, to take effect the 10th inst. is now in the hands of Superintendent Bean. The east bound express train will reach Tucson at 940 a. m. and leave at l0:10 a. m The west-bound express will arrive at 3:1j p. m. and leave at 3:45 D. m. Thus it will be seen that Porter's Hotel will be the eating place of railroad travellers, the same as before, although the hours of obtaining this luxury are altered. The east-bouni train will continue to stop the regular half hour for dinner at Bowie, and Deming will also remain a hostelry for passengers. The Yuma hotel will be abolished as railway eat ing station for travellers passing through on the fast trans. It has not yet been ascertained as to decrease of the hours of travel between this city and San Francisco, but on this division, between Yuma and Deming, the speed of ex- press trains will be increased about three hours.

Death of Judge sheldon.

The death of Judge Sheldon n San Francisco yesterday, was surprise to the citizens of Arizona, us it was not known that he was seriously ill. He had for years been suffering from wounds received in the late war, and his visit to San Francisco was for the pur- pose of having the wounds treated.
 \. ". Sheldon was appointed an as- sociate justice of Arizona last April, and at once assumed the duties of his office, and though in poor health he dispatched business as no other judge in this district had ever done.
 Judge Sheldon was a strictly upright and honorable man, and performed his duties fearlessly. During his short sojourn amongst us. he made many friends and his sudden death will be regretted by the citizens of this Terri tory. He was native of Ohio, and served with distinction through the war; he was in the hottest of the fight, and the wounds he received and from which be never recovered. were the primary cause of his death, which has cast n gloom over our people.

 Col. Poston in reply said there was nothing more repugnRnt to the Amer- can people than to be divided into classes. Every member of the society should stand on an equal footing.

aS EMBEDDED BONE.
Curious specimen Of Arizona Architeo-
 ture.

4 CITIZEN reporter in conversation uitha prominent Mexican property own or. yesterday, happened to bring up the subiect of alobes as a building mater lal, and the length Of time their eZpossi 4-rta-s 1ould withstand the elements If properly made.
 .sWhy,~ said he. "I have a building in town which contains one block of Arr zona mud that have carefully watched for over twenty-five years, and although the rain has fallen upon it whenever any storms occurred, vet l don't believe a sixteenth of an inch of the exterior has been washed away"
 "But why was this particular block so interesting to you ?' asked the reporter.
 Well you see way back in the 'iifties there use to be good many Indians lu.led. and often there would be nobody tr bnry them. No white man cared 10 do and he friends of the rascals were not allowed Co get near enough to carry uH th- bodies, or put them under the ground. Well, one day l heard there was part of a skeleton of onei of these fellows lying near the road about three miles north of here; and l was then just putting up a house for myself. l don't know why it was but 1t somehow enter cI my mInd tO go out and get a bone or SD CT tha- carcass and put 1t ID one of myadobe
 "Rather an eccentric idea, remarked the reporter.
 -Yes, but you know it gave me some satisfaction. Let me sec. l used one of those bones for building material iu lo51, and it still remains ID the side of the house. just as natural as ever Al though the spaces between the blocks have been badly washed. that particular old human bone still remains imbedded n the wall, and 1 believe will stay for as many years more
 "Nhera IS this unusual carlosltyg" a query suggested by the CITIZEN man.
 ''lou can come around and see t, but [ don't want you to mention 1t, because tine people renting the premises might pot ike Co have part of a corpse ID their bullding-eveu an Indian sand hkeiy as not would pull the bone out. in fAct. don't beleyc they have ever noticed lt.'
 The reporter followed the pioneer '.A|tA4tt AA' Dt AAA NtAt1Alblls allQ sure enough, m the rear side of a building not far from the pUstOflice was a sun blaa-hcd bone about five inches long. It | WAS still solidly imbedded IT the adobe composition, about six feet from the ground. Curious enough. It is within few feet of physicians office, and vet that geHtleman's instincts have not caused him tO discover Lhis peculiar ! specimen of old architectuae.
 The reporter saw at once that there 1 was DO deception as to the nature of the l bone It was the humerus of the left l arm, and had the tnberosities at the up- | per end joining the glenoid fassa of the | scapuia. IL remains and will remain for 1 decades longer, probably, as an unpieas- | Hlt reminder of the close proximity of | tine whites of Tucson to the bloody | Auaches.

The Fatal Disease.

Yesterday morning U. s. Attorney Zabriske recelved q letter from his broth er-in-law, Col. Sinton, of San Francisco, informing hIm more particularly of the death of Judge Sheldon. The deceased was suddenly overcome by illness early Thursday morning. at hIs room in the Palace hotel \ physician was immed- lately summoned, but notwithstanding the use of every available remedy the patient dropped into a quie. slumber and expired at S;30 a. ID. He suffered no pain. An autopsy of the body was made by Dr. Brigham, an eminent surgeon of the coast, and the actual cause of death was found to be the "cons-riction of the intestine,r from which modification re- suited. It appears that this disease was Dever known to the deceased He had always believed that the pain in the ab- domen that caused him SO much trouble was the sympathetic result of a wound recerved in the war. However, 1t IS now thought this wound bore no relation to the fatal disease. NIT. A. L. Bancroft of the well-known publishing house in San Francisco, was with the deceased to the last,

The Rev. Dr. Wise of Cincinnati, who Is one of the oldest and most widely known rabbis of the country, president of the Hebrew Union college, editor of the American Israelite and Die Deborah, pastor of the vealthiest and most in huential conGregation of the Hebrew faith in the west, and a voluminous writer of books, pamphlets and essays, shocked the sensibilities of the more orthodox Jews by saying that Christians may be received into Judaism by 2 simple acknowledgment of the binding character of the 10 commandments; that there IS DO biblical prohibition against Jews intermsrrying with Chris tians, or with Mohammedans for that matter; thnt the rules attending the preparation of animal food for Jews can be abandoned at pleasure, and that as God has not created any unclean animal, Jews may eat anything they please.

LOGAN LOCALS.
A Church Provided for-A Casa Crande
 Stage-Hansen's Camp.

LOGAN CITY. Jan. 31.-The town grows. Another doctor has arrived. He comes from San Diego, and stuck up his shin gle to-day. Yesterday there were count ed sixty-fve tents and fifty-fvs frame houses. Not all the latter are roofed, a cloth being merely stretched over the rafters. About thirty more houses are being constructed.
 Father Antonio was here on Tuesday, and secured two lots for a Catholic church. They adjoin each other, one being ID Logan, and the other in New Virginia
 4 stage is running to Casa Grande, making the round trip in three days. MT. Sake, formerly Of Globe, is the pro prietor.
 4 discovery of a new water tank, was made yesterday. It was immediately fenced in, and located as 8 millsite.
 Hansen's Camp is a growing little place, five miles north of Logan. About twenty men are there now, and the nun Der IS increasing daily. J. W. Stanton, of the Cosmopolitan hotel in Tucson, has located there with his party. A. H. Hansen has some good looking ore in what be calls tine Jersey Lily. It Is bonded. Hansen claims to have found the lead from reading an old manuscript in the mission of St. Gertrude, while mining placers in Lower California last summer.
 Two days prospecting over the hills has convinced me that every pile of rocks within a radius of ten miles of Logan has been located. The people have a monument craze. New finds are reported every day, and cozen are ready to rush out to It.
 There are quite a number f idle men sitting around m the saloons. Some prospectors, nevertheless, complain that it is difficult to get men to go to work in the hills.
 There are thirty-three men at present on the pay roll of the bonanza com pany.
 H. W. Smith, the superintendent, showed me some ,rock taken out of the Crocker mine, that went S3il.26 to she ton.
 On Tuesday evening the pioneer baile was given in Douglass hall, in which the citizens generally took part.
 The Pspagos are doing good service in supplying the camp with milk and hay. The men can be seen bringing in their ollas of the lacteal fluid and hesd-loads of grass the same as the squaws. Wood is delivered in the camp at S3.5O tO S4 per two-horse load. The supply seems to be inexhRustible.
 James Cameron goes to Tucson this morning for treatment of an injured eye.
 R.M. Rowland, ot San Francisco, Is here and investing in mines.
 Living here is as good as it is in Tuc- son. The Lewis hotel has il2 boarders, and sets as fine a table as any one could desire. Mrs. A. G. Lewis IS the pioneer lady of the camp.
 sThe people here are very impatient for railroad and telegraph. The stage companies are doing their best, and on the whole give satisfaction.
 PA. Humbert left fer San Francisco yesterday morning. He examined the mines for the bonanza company.
 Superintendent Smith reports that about month ago a heavy rain filled a hollow on the bonanza hill, with two thousand gallons of water affording an abundant supply to those working on top. ;.
