been interesting indeed for a num- Der of days. Gen. Gordon was not found at Khartoum, as has long been anticipated he would be. That city was found in possession of the rebel Arabs, and it now looks as though Gen. Gordon and. his forces had been wiped out of existence. Gen, Stewart, who got near enough Khartoum to ascertain this fact him> self made a very narrow escape from Bedouin hordes that surrounded his forcewhich he had formed in a square and for whole day made rush after rush upon him. The coolness of his men, all being picked veterans, to- gether with the knowledge of the desperate nature of the conflict in which they were engaged, and their superior arms caused them to fight with the determination of men who know that it IS victory or death. The Bedouins were moved down Tn such numbers that they even obstructed the charges of the wild horde till al length they were compelled to retire and Gen. Stewart and his force escaped 70 an island in the Nile where they were safe.

The second company asks that the county give them assistance Tn the sum of S2OOOOO. Their terms otherwise were not stated, but It would be nothing more than a busl> ness proposition for our county to state its terms and such as will pro- tect it, and then we have no besis tancy in saying that the people will tax themselves to the amount of $250, GOO or more, if need be, to get the road, but of one thing they must be absolutely assured before they willingly make such unqualified presents, and that is that they will be given an equal chance for outside markets with California and .he East.

 Last night was one of the coldest of the season. Moist ground was frozen solid. Early peach and apri- cot buds are ready to burst. Look out for March frost.
 Wheat and barley crops are not as forward as at this time fast year. Some are still engaged in sowing.
 Speculations concerning the legis, lature have abated. Have not heard of any bids here for the insane asy~ lum. An energetic move towards a university in Salt River valley would be halled with joy, and it's founders would be esteemed public benefac- tors. Can the HERALD give us defi- mite items on this point? Certainly no measure so important can com mand the time and talents of our legislature. None upon which a great and honorable future of our Territory so much depends.
 Our village is as quiet as Sab bath on the x roads since the Post office was moved to Upper Tempe.
 W hatever may be the merits of a fare and freight blll we are anxious ly looking for a railroad move which will take us into the embrace of civilization and prosperity, to wit 
 a railroad through thIs valley; but we will try to wait with patience the grist which comes from the mills ol the gods, which are said to grind slow but fine.

PHOENIX wants railroad and must have it. A railroad from any place that would let us out to the markets of the Territory ard other portions of the southwest would be welcomed and we believe would res -ceive the earnest support of the people. The idea of one or two of our citizens that railroad to Mari copa would be of no benefit to us if the regulation of freight rates is not accomplished by the legislature is certainly a mistake and a bad mis- take. The influence of railroad upon the valley, even though freight cost the same that it now does to this city and though the present discrimination against the people of the valley, or rather against major ity of them, should continue, could be nothing else than beneficial. The mere consideration Of money set afoat in building and maintaining such a road would be of a most ben efcial character and great assistance to tie business men of the valley. The population it would bring us both of producers and consumers would add largely to the volume of business and give us standing char acter as a commercial and agricul- tural community, matter that would have great influence upon the pros perity of our business men. Again, the increase in the value of property, the taxes which the road itself would pour into our county treasury, te> gether with the immense scope of what is now wild land that would be brought into use, attain value, pay taxes and yield produce would always be benefit to the people and business of the valley, aside from the consideration of the social and educational privileges which invariably come with population and the development of a country.
 People don't stop to inquire what freight rates are or what the fare is on a railroad when it opens to them the advantages of bettering their condition. If they did the Pacific coast would yet be isolated from the east by the peaks of the Sierras and Rocky mountains.
 The matter of railroad charges can and always will be regulated after a road is built. The demands of business are the regulators of such matters, and when the demand is sufficiently imper ative, when bus mess is sufficiently pressed by such charges, then, and not till then, will they be regulated, either by mutual agreement or by legislative enact ment.
 Let us have the railroad anyway. We can be no worse off and there is scarcely chance in thousand but that we shall be vastly better off the moment Q pick is stuck Tn the gronnd | in the actual construction of the road.
Weekly Phoenix herald., 1885-02-12

IT strikes us that the proviso in the new freight bill that "Such com pany or corporation may charge a higher amount per mile when the distance does not exceed thirty miles, and provided, also, that the total charge for such distance less than thirty miles shall not exceed the total charge for a distance greater than thirty miles,"
 As the clause reads there seems to be nothing to keep a railroad com pany from charging as much in total for a distance of less than thirty miles as It would from San Francisco to New Orleans if the road so elected.

STRIKERS TAKE UP ARMS.

The striking iron workers formerly
employed at the Iaughlin mill at Mar
tins Ferry, Ohio, numbering between
40 and so men, marched up to within
about 200 yards of the mill at 2 O'Clock
in the morning of the Goth of Septem-
ber, under cover of the darkness, and
prepared for an assault upon the build
ings and it's inmates, while squad of
half dozen bearing large basket, in
which were 80 dynamite and giant pow
der hand grenades, went up on the rail-
road to a point just west of the compa-
ny's warehouse in which the workmen
were asleep. The main body advanced
toward the east face Of the warehouse
for the purpose of making a diversion
in the rear. Within 20 yards of the
building mill picket challenged the
mob, but the only reply was one or two
scattering shots. The picket again
challenged, but was fired on again, when
he retreated to the corner Of the ware
house. Here Major Anderson, stock.
holder and director or the company,
challenged the party. He likewise was
fired OH, when he returned the fire. The
main body Of the guards on the south
side of the mill. had by this time ad-
yanced to Major Alderson's aid, and a
brisk skirmish at once began between
the opposing forces. Both sides were
well armed, and the firing was rapid.
While this was going on at the east side
of the factory the party with the hand
grenades on the west advanced and
threw half dozen into the building,
when the men were driven off from a
fire from within. Two of the grenades
exploded, but only slight damage was
done to the house and none at all 10 the
inmates. By this time three men had
fallen on the side of the strikers. and
the latter began to slowly retire, taking
their wounded with them.
OF the guards at the works two were
seriously wounded. The excitement is
very great and renewal of the trouble
on a more extended scale is very prob
able.

bout the domestic life of d well,knoWn
and prominent politician, that may be
of great interest to many of our read
ers
Senator Wallace has had more than
the common inheritance of sorrow fall
into the evening of his honored and
useful life. He is man of the strong.
est domestic attachments, devoted
husband and father, and his home has
ever been to him the centre of attrac-
ton, even in all his conflicts of ambi-
ton.
Within a few years his estimable
wife, who had fulfilled o mothers no.
blest duties in the care of children
until they reached manhood and wo-
manhood, bowed to mental in6rmaties
which not only necessarily separated
her from home and loved ones, but
made her q stranger to all she loved
most. She is, and has been for some
years. an inmate of on asylum near
Philadelphia, and her malady is re-
garded as beyond the power of medi'
cal skill.
Not far diltant from the retreat ol
the wife and mother, is son of Sena.
tor Wallace, hopelessly feeble in in
tellect from fall received in early
childhood, and another son OF much
promise and just in the flush of youth
full manhood, was killed by an accident
only o few days ago, The world
little knows of the sorrow which
shadow the lives of men who are
known mainly in the rude conflicts OF
ambition but they often retire from
the strife that they seem to enjoy to
sob as others sob over blighted
homes.
