Meeting of the Wool Growers.

O. Friday last the Wool Growers held meeting in Flagstaff, but the sheep men were not largely represen ted, as this is their busy season. The matter of how to prepare wool for shipment, was thoroughly discussed, and there was considerable discussion in reference to shipping wool to St. Louis, instead of further east, as the Cotton Exchange of that city is offer. ing special inducements. Another meeting will be held after the shear ing season is over, when all the mem- bers can be present. There were pres ent representatives of transportation companies, who presented their claims for the wool shipments.

 On Saturday, April asth, there oc cured iL our town one of the mos disastrous coufagrations that has evel occurred on the A. & P. R. R.-tht destruction of two-thirds of our thriv, ing city by fire, comprising nine busi' ness houses, with a loss agregatina $7,2so, as follows: H. w. Coleman, Ash Fork Hotel, Sa,ooo; R. P. Fur, rows saloon, $I,7oo; Fred Roene's saloon, ST, 200; Joe An Jews restau' rant, sI, 200; Oliver & Co.,, two empty buildings, S7oo; An Joe's wash house, S3oo; l.. Shannon's shoe shop, SIso.
 The flames originated between Ah Joe's wash house and the Ash Fork Hotel, where there had been deposited from time to time empty barrels, box, es, old hay, etc., and must have either been the work of an incendiary or a stray spark from some nelghboring stove pipe, but however this may be, the flames spread so rapidly that all efforts to extinguish it were unavailing and there being but small amount of water on hand, all hopes of saving the lower portion of the town were abandoned, and all efforts were con centrated in protecting the upper DOT ton of the town from the flames. Wet blankets were hung upon the sides and roofs of buildings and the devouring elements were checked and by hard fighting of an hour this portion oi town was out of danger.
 Too much credit cannot be given Marshall Woods, who endured the heat that no one else could, and whose heroism, no doubt, saved the res. of our town.
 There was nothing saved worth mentioning, except the biuiard tables of Dad Furrow and A. G. Oliver.
 The town wears very dreary as pect now and no doubt vii! remain so for some time, as the victims express themselves as not wishing to take any more chances in place where there IS no protection whatever from fire, ,nG no alternative but to stand by l md witness the destruction of their | without any insurance, com Janies refusing to take any risks upon Ash Fork property, and speaking i'm partially, we thiEk they are sensible.

The Care of Children.

BOSTON, MAss.--A leading medical journal thinks it is about time mothers should know how seriously the health of children is imperilled by the use of preparations containing morphia and opium, ard given for the cure of colds and coughs. The chemist of the Brooklyn Board of Health, Otto Grothe, Ph. D., a graduate of the Un- iversity of Kiel, Germany, certifies officially that recently harmless and yet effective article for such complaints has come to his notice. He refers to the newly discovered Red Star Cough Cure, which he found purely vegeta- ble.

Unfortunate LegisIation.

special TO the Globe.
NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-Ex-Gov. P. o.
Cheney of New Hampshire explained to-day
at the Fifth avenue hotel the present en-
barrassment Of the business men in his
state. He said:
The state practically has no stock fire in
surance companies. The passage of the
''valued policy" bill, which was intended to
correct general looseness and place insur-
ance on a basis of equal Justice to all. has
unfortunately operated disastrously. Under
this law the sum named in the policy in case
OF loss has TO be paid, whether the pronertv
has increased or decreased in the meantime
The indemnity insurance plan was objected
to because agents got a percentage on the
amount of policies, and hence would like hiph
valuations over insurance, necessarily re-
curing high premiums, yet when loss oc.
Cured the valuation would be far out of pro
portion to the premiums paid. The result is
that So outside companies have withdrawn
their policies, and $50 other companies
have declined to come in. 1t has, in fact, be-
come question whether an extra session OF
the legislature ought not to be called. If this
is done, it is the general impression that the
law can be remedied by a few notifications.
The blame is attached to members for passage
of the bill. 1t was intended to remedy an
evil. We have home company that is taking
risks and doing booming business.

Great Three ear.Old.

The full particulars of the neatest three
year-old colt race ever trotted have some
how been kept back from the public. At
any rate it did not get into the papers, as it
should have done. 1t took place at LeXing-
ton, KY, about two weeks ago, and was
between Patron, Silverone and CRANKY.
Farm, in writing from Lexington, gives the
following particulars:
The three-year-old race was looked for
ward to with interest. The question was
whether Silverone could beat Patron.
CRANKY also started but he was really not
in the thick of the fight. The first heat
was grand one. Silverone and Patron
hung to each other like seasoned campaign
ers, and it was simply matter of which
would first let go. Down the homestretch
Silverone went wide and wavered, and
Patron let her under the wire. The time
was 37$l, 1:121a, 1:47%, 2:2015.
The pace was slower in the second heat.
At the head of the stretch Maxwell behind
Silverone tried to take the inside position.
and as there was not room for him to get
by. it looked as if Patron had cut her off.
Shouts of foul were heard, but after inves-
tigation the judges placed Patron first Sill
verone second and CRANKY third; time, 2:25.
There was considerable scoring for
the third heat and the send-otf was
even. The fight was a desperate
one between the FLY and the colt, and the
crowd looked on in wonder. Al the dis
lance stand Silverone gave it up, and Patron
logged in in 2:19I. thus equaling the three
year-old record OF Kinda Rose. The shout
ing was immense. Outside watches made
the time 2:194. The fractions were 36M,
1:1OI, 1:47I. A greater race between
Youngsters was never trotted. Patron was
bred at Glenview, but wintered in Canada.
He should trot, if sent for all that is in
him, in better than 2:19.
In speaking of what Kentucky is doing
in the production of fast ones, the Chicago
Horseman gives the following condensed
statement: The meeting of the Kentucky
Trotting Horse Breeders is always interest
ing. and is often sensational. Last year
Eagle Bird won the -year-old stake after
a battle of four heats; Pancoast won
great race in the 2:25 class, taking the sec
ond. third and fourth heats in 2:21%,
2:24N and 2:24. Bedford, by Strathmore,
placed the three-year-old stakes to his
credit, in a five-heat contest. making the
best time in the fourth heat in $3.50. Early
Dawn won the five-year-old stakes, and
Nutbreaker. the sensational yearling,
trotted mile in 2:4212.
The meeting this year has more than
equaled its predecessor. Nutbreaker, by
Nutwood, dam by Aberdeen, has more than
sustained the reputation he obtained as a
yearling, by winning the Lexington stakes.
This time he did not meet the famous
Sphynx, but found a foeman worthy OF his
steel in the black colt Bermuda. by Banker,
who won the first heat in 1864, the son OF
Nutwood winning the next two in 1864
and 2:32. The value of the stake was
S545.

a Noted Mare.

A son OF Mr.. McFerran, proprietor of the
GlenvieW farm, Louisville, KY, gives the
following interesting facts regarding mare
that has already become famous by the per-
formances of two of her sons, both having
entered the $50 list this season. Mr. Nc
Ferran says: ''Among other purchases
made in the East my father bought of JOS
eph Gavin, of Goshen, n. Y, the bay mare
Hyacinth, by Volunteer, out of DeXter's
dam, and had her sent to Chester and bred
to Rysdyks Hambletonian. paying $500 for
the service. In due time after her arrival
at Glenyiew she dropped bay filly, and
she was christened, on account of her royal
breeding, Reina Victoria. This FLY was
not handled further than to break her
gently during which time she showed an
easy, good way of going. At 3 years old
she was bred to horse owned at the farm
called GlenvieW, a son of Belmont out of
an Alexander Abdallah mare, and she out
of a thoroughbred. The product was the
chestnut colt Euclid, owned by Mr.. Samuel
Keys of PittSburg. This colt was sold at
the annual sale of 1882 and brought
81, 900; and the other day. as five
year-old, at Kansas City, he made his record
Of 1868. Tae mare was then bred to
Princeps, the result being Princeton; he

vored by my father. He sold him as
yearling for $3.50, bought him back for $500,
was later offered 800 for him, and at the
next ensuing sale he only brought the
trifling sum of S245. AT ST. Louis he made
his splendid ur-year-old record of 1924
in the third heat, stamping him a most
wonderful young horse. The third foal of
the mare was black FLY, by Nutwood,
sold to Mr.. Charles Bremaker of Louisville
for 5000 when only a few weeks old. She
unfortunately died a weanling. Her fourth
foal is chestnut colt, by Nutwood, now
yearling, one of the most promising of
his age ever bred on the farm. Her fifth
foal. now weanling colt, is also chest
nut, by NutWood rather the largest and
most rangy one she has had. The mare is
now in foal to Pancoast. If this mare lives
you will doubtless see her take rank among
the greatest producers. She is now 10 years
old, with her first two foals far inside the
$3.50 list, and the third one the most promis-
ing of all.

ANNUAL REPORTS.
The Fiscal Wear ClOsed--The Fire
Department..

The Fiscal Year ClOsed.-The Fire
Department..
According to the law passed by the last
legislature the fiscal year in the city depart
ments for 1885 is short two months. That
is, it includes only ten months, commencing
Jan. and ending Oct. 81. During the
next three weeks work on annual reports
will occupy the attention of the attaches OF
the various offices, the law providing that
all reports be ready for publication on Jan.
1. In hardly any other department of the
city government has there been such de-
cided improvement as in the fire depart
ment. During the past ten months four
new houses have been built at cost OF
$500 and an addition made to one
of the old houses costing in the
neighborhood of $1,000. Seven pieces of
apparatus have been added, including two
engines costing SIS, $50; two hose carts, cost
ing 800 each, and three chemicals, costing
So, 500 each. Five new companies have
been organized, adding thirty-five men to
the force, which now numbers 116, includ
ing the chief and two assistants. The de-
partment is now in excellent condition, and
the work done by it during the year will be
more particularly shown in the report of
the chief, soon to be given to the public.
During the ten months the department have
responded to 202 alarms, the record of the
months being as follows: January "a, Feb
ruary 10, darch 30, April 10, May "a, June
25, July IA, August 16, September IS,
October %. There were but two large fires,
one being at the pillow works and the other
at Blodgett & Osgood's planning mill. The
loss by the pillow works fire was S37, 500
and at the planning mill only $11, 600.
