Military Signals in Use in Arizona-Com-
munication by Sun Flashes.
In December last Lieut.. a IL. Fuller. OF the
Second United States cavalry. with his troon.
K, left the Presidio for field duly in Arizona,
where he has since been stationed. For the
hrst 1our months after leaving the lieutenant
was with his troop, but soon after Gen. Miles
succeeded Gen. Crook, Fuller was assigned to
special duty as acting signal service officer in
the photographic service of the army. To O.
reporter he explained the method Of army
signaling by means of rejecting sunlight.
The alphabet used is exactly the same as the
Morse telegraph alphabet. The instruments
and mirrors used in signaling are of the finest
material. Under Lieut.. Fuller fifteen signal
ing stations have been established in Arizona,
the distance between them varying from five
TO forty miles, according as convenient peaks
were found on which to locate stations. The
greatest distance in a straight line which sta
tons cover'is 200 miles The regular work
ing force Of each station is two at the smaller
and three operators at the larger stations. with
guard OF from five to seven soldiers, &c
cording to the location of the station. The
stations more remote from the railroad are
supplied with couriers, and orders from Gen
Miles TO the different detachlnents in the field
are thus conveyed
So perfected is this system Of communica
tioL by sun flashes that trial message of
twenty-five words was sent recently over the
200-mile line and an answer OF the Same
length received at the starting point in
twenty minutes time. Another test which
Lieut.. Fuller said resulted very satisfactorily
to Gen. Miles was signaling 800 words twenty
five miles in short space Of time
In New Me1ico there are seven additional
signal stations, under Lieut.. Z. T. bravo Of
the Sixth cavalry. a recent message Of
twenty-five words was sgnaled from Gen
Miles at Tubac, a T., to Lake Valley, 400
miles, and an answer Of twenty seven words
returned in four hours and ten minutes
time Lieut.. Fuller says that Gen. Miles has
expressed satisfaction with the rapid man
ner in which messages are signale,i from sta
ton to station.-San Francisco Call

Troops Sent to Aid in Enforcing the Law

Sheriff Improving.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. July is.--Judge Cole
has reported to the Governor, alter in
vestigating the condition of affairs at
Morehead, Rowan County, that the as
sistance of troops is necessary to the en-
forcement of law in his court. The
Judge has asked the Governor for sixty
men. OF these thirty went from here,
under command of Captain G. Mcpherson,
and thirty from Lexington, under COM
mand of Lieutenant Williams. The
post will be under command of
Major Mckee, who will act
under direction of Judge Cole. Cat
ling gun was taken from Lexington, and
the soldiers went thoroughly equipped
with all the appurtenances for war or
long camp-out. There is report of no new
outbreak in Rowan, but the fighting fac
tions are yet at large, barricaded in their
strongholds, and as Judge Cole intends
that the warrants now out for the arrest
of these parties shall be served he has
thought it best that the court should have
a force of troops back Of it. From
his survey of the field, he was con-
yinced that the law could not be en-
forced by the civil authorities unsup-
ported by military, and the troops go to
quell the row before there is more blood
she'd Both Sheriff Rainey, who was
wounded by the Logans, who were re-
sisting arrest, and young Logan, wounded
while resisting arrest, are still alive,
with fair prospects that they may both

The Sequel Of the Unhappy Life OF Mrs.
Nellie T.. Davis-Suicide on the Eve of q
Marriage She Could Not Legally Con-
summate and Had Not the Courage to
Break Away From.
CHICAGO, July 9.-Yesterday afternoon
Mrs. Mel ie E. Davis dressed herself in
white, lay down upon her bed in an up
per room of house on West Erie street
and shot herself through the head with
revolver. She expired instantly. Mrs.
Davis was twenty-five years of age, petite
and attractive, with refined and INTEL
lectual features, jet black hair and lus-
trous eyes. She came OF good parent
age and was highly educated in Boston
seminary. When nineteen years of age
she married T. E. Davis, timer, now
living in Boston. A son vas born to the
couple, but after two years of married
life Mr.. and Mrs. Davis quarreled and
breach ensued, which resulted in Mrs.
Davis leaving her husband. She kept the
child, and removed to Chicago three
years ago, living with her mother, Mrs.
b. d. Loveioy, who was then conducting
a clearinghouse. Mrs. Davis turned
her education to account and opened q
studio on West Madison street, and since
then she has supported herself by paint
ing and sketching in which she was said
to be highly skilled. Her son died two
wears ago. The death of the boy was an
atilction which she has felt keenly, and
only last Tuesday she spent the day at
the side of the boys grave and returned
very much disheartened.
wear ago this month Mrs. Davis, her
mother and her uncle removed to Carlin,
New. She returned from the West three
months ago, accompanied by young
man named Carl Howes, who was very
much in her company. They both took
board with J. ID. Lovejoy, Mrs. Davis
brother, on Erie street. Last Monday
Mr. Lovejoy gave up housekeeping, and
Howes, Mrs. Davis and the Lovejoy
family packed up preparatory to leaving
for Nevada, which they proposed to do
to-day, 1t has been known that Howes
and Mrs. Davis were engaged to be mar
ried, and 1t was their intention to
have the ceremony performed as
soon as they reached their new home in
the West. Mrs. Davis had never been
divorced from her husband at Boston, nor
had any steps been taken to bring about
a legal separation, and in this fact lies
the probable cause of her suicide. Her
engagement with Howes was positive, the
date of marriage set, and it is supposed
that she brooded over the fact that her
marriage without a divorce would be
crime, and lacked the moral courage to
break off the match.

A BRAVE GIRL.

Her Experience With a Mad Dog on Pub
lie Street.-The Pusillanimous Conduct of
the NLen of Williamsport.
WILLIAMsPORT, Pa, July 9.-Prof. j.
F. Davis has owned a terrier for long
time which was a great favorite among
the children. As the Professor was going
out of town Wednesday, he gave the ami
NAL to Miss Annie Berndt, young lady
well known in society here, to take care
of while he was away. In the
afternoon Miss Berndt started down
the street with the dog to
take it to her home. As she
reached Academy street, the dog com
menced to growl and fell over on the
sidewalk in fit. In few minutes the
dog was in terrible agony and was froth-
ing at the mouth. Miss Berndt hardly
knew what to do. She grasped the dog
bv the collar and held him down. After
the first commissions were over the dog
tried to bite Miss Berndt, but she held
him by the aid of her paraSol and pre-
vented the froth from getting on
her, although one of the sleeves of
her dress was torn by the animals claws.
Several persons were passing at the Tune,
but when they saw that the dog was mad
they hurried out of the way and left the
young woman IN ner periiouS poSluoh,
advising her to let the dog go and seek a
place of safety. While the dog was in its
third CONFUSION one Of the street cars
came along. None of the men were
brave enough to help Miss Berndt, al
though she asked them to go for some
one to shoot the dog. Atlast, becoming
tired, Miss Berndt waited until it was ex-
hausted after a convulsion, let go her
hold and ran into house near by. The
dog recovered and started to run of in its
mad career, swapping and biting at trees,
fences and everything it came across. 1t
fell at the foot of a tree and was killed.
Luckily no one was hurt, but Miss Berndt
had q narrow escape.

Not Poison After All.

CoULTERvILLE, ILL.,, July lO.-An in'
quiry instituted by the State Board OF
Health into the alleged cases OF poison
ing at this place has failed to demonstrate
any poison in the ice-cream. While there
is no doubt that the majority of those
who ate ice cream on the Sd were taken
sick, vet it Is probable that the extreme
heat, together with fatigue and an un-
usual diet, would account for the So
called cases of ice-cream poisoning. The
above is substantially the result OF the
official investigation. The excitement
