killing in Clifton

A private letter dated Clifton, Feb. 8, 1886, contains the following:
 Last night, or to be more explicit, about 12 :35 this morning, some words passed between Chas. Small, a cowboy from the Gila river, and Guadalupe Boca, Mexican resident Of this town, in reference to a woman. in one of the saloons. It seemed to amount to nothing, however, and both parties went away with their arms around one another. They were both Q little the worse for liquor, and went to an other saloon which they found closed. Boca proposed kicking in the door, and attempted to do so, but was pre- vented from accomplishing his pur- pose by Small, who held him back, They then turned and walked 8 few yards away, when Boca struck at Small several times with his knife (ao- eording to the e,idence at the coro- ner's iaquest), inaicting one or two slight wounds. Small retaliated by drawing a pistol and shooting Boca twice resulting in his immediate doath.-SLar.

 When car No, 13, of the Race and Vine Street Line, reached Sixth and Race streets, about 10 o'clock this morning, the conductor rang the bell for the driver to stop. The tone of the bell sounded out cle rly, but the driver, who was sitting up on his stool on the platform, took no notice of it, and the car kept on its eastward course. Again the bell was rung but still no attention was paid to the sound, and the conductor made his way through the crowd of passengers and began to heap abuse upon the driver. The latter sat as stolidly as ever, with the lines in his left hand and his right on the handle of the brake. hut never turned his head nor made an effort to bring the car to a stop. The irate conductor seized him by the shoulders and shook him rough ly, but got no response. To his sur prise he discovered that the man was frozen to his seat and unconscious, and with the help of passenger, the car was brought to halt and an officer of the Fourth District summoned. The patrol wagon was called. The driver, whose name is Thomas Finne- gan, was taken in it fo the Pennsylya- nia Hospital. He is B years of age. He was still unconscious when ad- mitted to the hospital, but will proba- hly be able to be about in few days.

A Steam Laundry.


 The people of Tombstone are pro- verbal for their neatness, and now that the day of blue shirts is past Gall our miners appearing in white shirts when they are off shif) we wish to make some startling disclosures to our citizens as to what amount of money they are paying to Chinese for the washing of their soiled linen. We do not exagerate particle when we make the statement that the citizens of Tombstone pay the Mongolians for washing alone, $1,500 per week, rot one cent of which finds its way into circulation. We have been told that the Chinese were good patrons of faro games, and that the gamblers circula- ted the money. In order to test the matter reporter interviewed the owners of the principle faro games in this city, and learned that for one dollar that the game won from Chi naman, the Chinese won five dollars
 Just think of this, fellow citizens. You are paying $48,00O per year for your washing, and 10 the Chinese, who never leave dollar with you. They don't support your schools, nor your churches. When there is public subscription for any purpose they do not contribute; they do not purchase their goods, nor their clothing from you. Tben why should you support them to the detriment of your own { people.
 The money you spend with the Chi E-nese every year would give employ ment to from 150 to 200 white women and men should steam laundry be established in this city.
 As every town of any note on the coast are now building laundries on the cooperative plan, THE DAILY TOMBSTONE office was visited to day by several gentlemen of business in this c.ty who formulated the 1 following plan, pledging themselves to take a large amount of stock:
 To incorporate an association to be known as the Peoples Steam Laun- dry Association of Tombstone" The stock of the association to amount to S5,000, divided into 5000 shares at one dollar per share. Nearly every body in town would subscribe from one, to one hundred shares.
 THE DAILY TpNBsToNE will sub scribe for 90 shares, and from the gentlemen who have called at this | office We are confident that over 2,5OC i shares will be subscribed for before to. morrow night.
 All parties who are desirous of see. ing our population added to by white men and their families, and who de. sire to subscribe for stock in the laundry assocIation even if it is brt one share, are requested to call and leave their names at this office Re member that there is not one dollar to be paid until there is enough stock subscribed to make the venture q success, and then the parties sub scribing will meet and effect an or ganization and issue the stockt Dont be at all backward, but come at once and leave your names, and the amount Of stock you are willing tC subscribe for.

 Yesterday afternoon as Commodore Seamans was standing on the street talking to Judge Wallace and some | otker gentlemen, an individual, who was considerably under the influence of liquor, approached him from be- hind and crushed his hat down over his eyes.

 Political courtesy has not yet gone out of fashion. In his inaugural ad- dress, last week, Governor Foraker oi Ohio, paid this graceful tribute to his predecessor: "Governor Hoadley, al ways kind and generous, was never more so than he has been to his sue cessor. It woald be pleasure tC thank him for this under any circum. stances, but it is especially so when il is recalled that notwithstanding we have opposed each other in two heate political contests, not 2 single unkind or offensive worc has yet been uttered by either of the other. The friendship o years seems to have been made only the stronger by the tests to which i has been subjected, and no one more earnestly than I entertains the hope that there are in tore for my distin guished predecessor many years 0 life, health and happiness, to be spen' in wider fields of usefulness and honoI than he has heretofore occupied. - Frank Leslie's.

Catching a Huge Fish.
New York Times.

NEW lOrk 1lmeD.
An immense tarpon, the largest game
fish ever captured, was exhibited recent
ly in the window of Thomas J. Conroy's
fishing tackle store, No. IS Fulton street.
It was caught at Punta Rassa, Fla, a
few miles from Key West, by William
Fl. Wood, civil engineer of this city
and an expert angler. The fish is six
feet five inches in length, sixteen and a
half inches in width, and weighs 40
pounds. A ffteen-thread reel line, a
hook with the O'Shaughnessy knob and
three-foot link chain, and short stiff
bamboo rod in one piece, with 900 feet
of line, were used. The fish showed such
tremendous strength that there was
great difficulty in Bleaching it, and this
was only accomplished finally by lifting
anchor and allowing it to tow the boat
ashore. The natives use the spear in
fishing for the tarpon and regard Mr..
Woods feat as the most extraordinary
exploit in the angling line thatsever was
known in the vicinity. Mr.. Wood en-
joys the additional distinction of being
the first person who ever captured a fish
of this kind with rod and reel. This
capture occurred in March, 1885, and
within year, almose to the day, Mr..
Wood surpasses his previous achieve
ment by taking the largest game fish
ever caught. The fish will remain on
exhibition few days and then will be
added to the private collection of Mr..
Wood.

3y bas-b lea has the brightest hair
That e'er the sunshine made more golden,
A face as sweet and freshly fair
As any maid of story olden.
This golden hair has bangs capricious,
Which idly DER her forehead stray.
Think you the fashions meretricious?
It's just as nice some other way
On that fair face is Lubiu's powder
Quite often frankly to be seen;
but freaks like this should be allowed her
do not dictate to my queen
Her figure simply is delicious,
So softly rounded, plump and neat.
She never wears a shade that's vicious;
Her styles Just quiet. but complete.
She knows as much of Greek and Latin
As any Yale or Harvard boy,
And athletics che is SO pat in
A ten-pould dumb-belrs but a toy.
Her wit is something quite tremendous
(She never turns it on a friend);
Her learning-may the gods defend us -
1t really seems to have no end.
Her notions of Reform are ample,
Including folk of low degree;
II OF her skill you SEEK a sample,
Why. just behold it, here, in me!
Then, too. I've known her darn her stockings
When sine had nothing else TO do
Those dainty hose with fancy clockings,
Whose color. you'll surmise is blue.
She doesn't think old maids are shocking,
And doesn't think them food for fun;
And yet she smiles in girlish mocking
If suggest her being-won.
You don't believe all this? To prove it
I'll take you up some day to call.

took stone from the wall, where it had
been placed 2,400 years before, had en-
graved upon it an inscription and sent it
as memorial to President Lincoln. The
inscription, which was in Latin, is trans
lated as follows:
"To Abraham Lincoln, president for
the second time of the American repub-
lie, citizens of Rome present this stone,
from the wall of Servius Tu!luis, by
which the memory of each of those brave
asserters of liberty may be associated.
Ammo, 1865"
The stone is a conglomerate sand
stone, 27a inches thick. The lower edge
and the side bearing the inscription are
dressed true; the opposite sides show
the uneven natual surface of a stone.
The upper edge and both ends are
broken as if with hammer. It is not
known when or by whom this stone was
sent. Over year after the death of
President Lincoln, it was found buried
among some rubbish in the basement of
the executive mansion. The attention
of President johnson was called to it,
and caused diigent search to be made
through the papers of the white house,
in the hope of finding some letter or
document giving clew as to how and
when the stone came. Nothing at all
connected with it was found, however,
so all that is positively known of the
history of the relic is the inscription
which it bears on it's face. It is thought
that it arrived before the death of Mr..
Lincoln, and he, to avoid newspaper
furore concerning it, quietly put it aside
and said nothing about it. As no one
in the mansion knew anything about it,
there is little wonder that it came to be
thrust among rubbish as thing of no
value. When it was found, in the spring
of 1866, it was placed in the crypt of
basement of the capitol. In June, 1860,
a resolution was brought before the
house of representatives proposing to
put the stone in the United States b.
tanical gardens. Mr.. Cullom, of Hi
nois, however, proposed to have it placed
in the Memorial hall of the Lincoln
monument, at Springfield, ILL.,, and sup
ported his proposition with such con-
vincing arguments that it was adopted.
The stone was sent to Springfield, and
in August, 1871, was placed with many
other relics of Mr.. Lincoln in the men,
orial-room of the monument, where it is
still to be seen by all visitors.

A Roman Relic.

Serv1us Julius is said to have been
the sixth king of Rome, and to have
reigned from 578-53S B. G. His time
antequated the period of authentic Ro-
man history, but there is little doubt
that he lived, and that he was, as tradi-
ton affirms, Just and worthy ruler,
whose constant effort was to help and
uplift the common people He was
himself of obscure origin. and his active
sympathy with the lower classes excited
the hatred of the wealthy Romans, and
at last, his SON. in-l law, Lucius Tarquinius,
headed conspiracy against him, and he
was murdered by hired assassins in the
streets of Rome in the year 538 B. G.
He had built stone wall around the city
during his reign as a protection against
the incursions of barbarian tribes. This
wall was SO well and firmly built that for
700 years it served its purpose efectual-
~. Though now in ruins, it still bears
the name of Servius Julius. Before the
sad death OF President Lincoln complet-
ed the striking parallel between his his
tory and that Of the justice-loving king
OF Rome, some Roman patriots, IN order to
