Mriss Carrie Brothers, of Hol- brook, and Miss Armstrong, of Wins low, came over from the railroad the first of the week. The ladies were here for tn. purpose of standing a collegiate examination by Judge Bunch, before receiving their diplo- mas as district school teachers. They passed perfect examination, and were assigned to their respective sta tions. "Miss Armstrong will "learn the young idea how to shoot" at Winslow, while Miss Brothers will take charge of the district school at Holbrook.-St. Johns Herald.
 A cruel rumor was set ahoat last night to the effect that Pres't Cleve. land had been assasSinated, and, of course, Flagstaff was on her muscle. We will not mention the queer antics and sayings of several of our citizens on receiving the news, for fear of offending some one, but the bold au- thors of the report surely had more fun out of it than they did when "fatty" fell through the floor.
 One or two esteemed contempora- ries talk as if they were sorry to hear of many good printers making good wages, by working night and day, on printing for the Territory. Better by far expend money in this way than vote it out to well-to-do gents or ad- venturers, who are asking tens of thousands of dollars for the promo tion of this and that scheme, or for selfish purposes.-Courier. We'll said.
 During the recent fire in Prescott, Hon w. A. Cuddy met with quite serious accident, while assisting the firemen, by being struck on the shoulder by the brass nozzle of a hose. His shoulder was dislocated and he was otherwise seriously in- jured, in consequence of which he will probably be laid up for some time.

Accidentally Shot,

A distressing accident occurred to- day, in which Oscar Gibson, lad about fifteen years old, had a narrow escape from death.
 Early this morning party of young men-or boys, rather-started il a wagon for Turkey Tanks, on a hunt, and when about seven miles from town they made temporary halt, and Oscar, in removing hls gun from the wagon, very foolishly took hold of the barrel and drew it toward him, muzzle first; the hammer caught on some obstruction and the gun was discharged, the shot taking effect in his right arm, terribly lacerating it.
 He was immediately brought to town and Drs. Lightfoot and Mason dressed the wound, which is an ugly one.
 It is thought amputation will not be necessary, but the poor boy will have crippled arm for life.

Brought to Tears.

We are going to tell dog story, and as the writer was an eye witness to the proceedings, of course all Flagstaff will vouch for the veracity of our statement.
 Everybody knows our dog; and, as somebody has given him bad name, it is necessary to keep him off the street to prevent a catastrophe to his usefulness.
 Well, in orGer to avoid an urtine- ly abruptness to his dogship he was placed in solitary confEemet-thrust ruthlessly into dark, lonesome place, as though he were great criminal.
 Poor Leo stood 1t very well for a while, but finally the solitude and lonesomeness cf the situation began to tell on him; then there came a wall, which swelled gradually into a howl, then into loud and furious barking, only to subside into low, pitteous, pleading moans, all of which was very annoying to the neighbors.
 Alter night of this kind of music the writer concluded to go out and console him, taking a club with him to produce a striking effect. On opening the door he was confronted by the dog, who ceased his crying at our approach. The place in which the dog was confined is very poorly lighted, sufficiently, however to en- able us to see great drops of tears rolling from his eyes. Yes, he was actually shedding gtears-copious tears. We have heard of dogs shaking with the ague and doing other smart things. but never before had we seen a dog cry and shed tears like school girl.
 Instead of currying down with the club we wiped his weeping eyes and caressed him aifectionately.
 These facts are given as seen, and it is to hoped that this story will be recorded with all truthful dog yarns.

We learn of an accident occurring at the new skating rink, just as we go to press. It appears that MT. F. Fawkes (FallstafD was giving party of friends few lessons in fancy and graceful skating-going through the grapevine movement, cutting the pigeon wing, ,etc.-and while perform ing one of his most difficult feats his admirers were mortified to see him collapse, and Tn his descent he carried away portion of the flooring and settled the foundation of the building about six inches. Fortunately no lives were lost, and jolly crowd of skaters will be on hand tonight to see the hole in the floor.

A SANGUINARY ARAB PLOT.
why Zobehr Pashn and Four SheiIzs
Were Arrested.

Some weeks ago news came of the
mysterious arrest in Alexandria,
Egypt. of Zobehr Pasha, and his re-
moval to a British vessel in the har-
Dor. A correspondent of the San
Francisco Gail, writing from Alex
andria, under date Of March 18th,
gives the following explanation of
the arrest:
Zobehr Pasha, the prince of slave
dealers in the Soudan, the man that
was called the Sultan of Darfur,"
and whose presence in the SOudan
was eagerly asked for by the late
martyr of Khartoum, General Cor
don, in order to pacify the country,
was arrested OH Saturday night, at
his residence in Alexandria, in COM
pany with four prominent Arab
sheiks from Dongola and Berber.
The prisoners were at once conveyed
on board Her Britannia Majesty's
dispatch steamer Iris, then lying in
our harbor, under strong escort, and
the Iris left on Sunday, en- route for
Malta, where the prisoners will be
tried for completely with the Mahdi,
and conspiracy to burn up Alexandria
and Cairo, and murder all the Europ-
cans in Egypt.
This sudden arrest has created an
intense excitement among the Arab
population, not only on account of
he EY,f nf
the circumstances pertaining thereto.
1t seems that the British military
authorities in Cairo had received pre-
else inform alton that Zobehr Pasha,
an intimate friend of the Mahdi Mo-
manned Ahmeer, and a relation of
the traitor Faraz Pasha, who opened
the gates of Il hartOum to the Mahdps
army, and thus caused the slaughter
of the gallant hero of KhartOum,
General Gordon, and about 1000 per-
sons, was plotting with the Arab
priests, the ulemas and sheiks for
destroying the whole of the European
in Egypt, and that the
plot was ready to break out on Sun

The pipes of the Alexandria Water
Company had been cut, and only re-
paired so far that they could furnish
the necessary water without creating
a suspicion. At a preconcerted given
signal all the pipes would be made
useless, the large depot of arms and
petroleum, stored in the countless
mosques of the city, would be avail
able for over twenty thousand Arabs,
who were ready to murder the
rushing out of the burn
ing houses, for it was intended to set
fire to every house Inhabited by
Under these circumstances it is not
to be wondered that the authorities
have decided to send Zobehr Pasha,
who is the principal instigator of the
crime, on his trial to Malta,
for the excitement prevailing in
would lead to very disas-
trous occurrences, as we have seen
them ia the summer of 1882.

Land Making.

The work of filling in on the Esplanade
goes on quietly, the material carted down
there every day making new land quite fast.
In olden times the water front extended
from the corner of ''Robinson's'' wharf,
across Fort street above where Hopper's
warehouse stands, to the lower corner Of
Hackfeld's & Co.'S lot, and thence maukn
of Halekauwila street, to the then front of
PunchbOwl, and so around to the salt works
and the immigration depot. Fort, Alakea
and Punchbowl streets have all been ex-
tended below that line since then, while
Kekuanoa, Kilauea and Allen street have
been made and built upon.3 Roughly speak
ing, 1,76O, OOG square feet have thus been
added to the area of Honolulu since the
work commenced. II
In 1884 some thing over 100000 square
feet, or about i've acres, have been filed in,
and all this property WHICH has really cost
but little is very valuable, and just where it
is most needed for business purposes.
