Dangerous Business.

The railway hath its victories no les: renowned than war-and no less bloody The railway commissioners of New Yorh state in their last annual report that the number of railroad men in that state killed or wounded in the discharge oi their duty during the year 1887 were as follows: "Killed.

Senator Ingalls, punctured Voorhee:

Senator Ingalls, punctured Voorhees, speech on Tuesday, and let all the wind out of it. He did it so quietly. mildly and gentlemanly that the senator from Indiana did not know what had happened until It was all over. Replying to voorhees accusation against him for mallgning the characters of Hancoe k and Mcclellan he quoted from speech recently delivered by Senator Hampton, from South Carolina, Tn which he spoke of the affected indignation o! the sena' tors from Indiana and Kentucky as dis. creditab!e to their intelligence or their candor.

conspicuous space at the exhibition, be unpacked and displayed to the best ad- vantage, free of cost to the Territory, and the privilege is accorded to terri tOrial representatives to add to and i'm prove the collection, and to represent the same in person If they so desire. When it is considered that the collec- tion comprises nearly ten tons of mine rals, exhibition cases and sppurtenan- ences, which will be displayed conspicu- ously and permanently, without cost to the Territory, with the privilege of improving and adding to the exhibit, it will be seen that at least fair contract was entered into. have no personal interest in the matter beyond my indi- vidual desire for the welfare and pro- gress of the mining industry, and I publish this letter simply because be- lieve the exact status of our mineral col ection should be known and thor Oughly understood by the public and by the mining interests especially.
 And in this connection, l wish to add that believe good opportunity is now afforded to add to and improve the exhibit at St. Louis, at little or no cost. MT. J. H. Johnson, the secretary of the Exhibition, will extend every facility in his power to improve the collection, and will give his personal supervision to its display; he has assured me of this yer bally and by letter, and he deserves the thanks of our citizens for his kindness and courteous interest. Any packages nf t,,, secretary of the Exposition, will be cared for, exhibited and properly cred- ited. learn from him that Colorado, Wyoming and Montana are taking steps to present mineral collections for exhibition. Arizona has the advantage, of them by having so large a collection already in place, and very lit tie trouble would put ouf collection far above them all. 1 believe this matter should be looked after, and that the prominence of our mining interests would justify lively interest being taken. think the formation of min- ing associations throughout the terri tory, and possibly convention of miners would be of great benefit. In my opinion it would be no more than justice for the Territory 10 reimburse Barrett Post for its outlay, especially as all expense for storage has been relieved and the collection has been placed on favorable and permanent exhibition where it will certainly do great deal of good Of this, however, have no rec- ommendation to make. At any rate I believe that steps should be taken to derive all the benefit possible from the Exposition Respectfully,
 N. o. MURPHY.

Conator fnoal1c arouSed the SPnaj

Senator Ingalls, aroused the senator from Indiana, Mir. Voorhees,, to wrath n his scathi speech of Tuesday. He read from reports ot MT. Voorhees, speech oi years ago, which aroused the Indiana statesman's anger to such de- gree that he forgot the dignity of his position, and indulged in the lowest and vilest language calling Ingalls, liar for simply having quoted fom papers and records portions Of his speech, snd which every school boy, who has the history. of the civil war, knows to be true. When Mr. VoOhees has to descend to use of such language as he indulged in on this occasion, the verdict of the ccun- try is, that he must have felt himself decidedly wors,ed by the senator from Kansas,

The information has been telegrapht abroad and reiterated throughout {: portion. of the territorial press that Ari zona's two delegates to the Chicago convention were pledged to the su ppor
 of General Aiger for president Th' JoURNAL-MINER man called on Colone
 l. F. Eggers to-day to ascertain if sucf was the fact, and received most em phatic denial of 1t so far as he IS con
 cerned He stated that while Dr. Good
 rich is as much resident of Michigan
 as he IS of Arizona, it was generally
 supposed that he would support Mlchi-
 gan's choice, for the nomination. but as for himself, the colonel said, he was neither pledged or committed in the remotest way to any candidate. He proposed to go to the contention en- tireiy independent, and while he had personal preferences for the position he considered it of greater importance to the country and the party to nominate a man whom they are sure of electing as any one of those mentioned prominently for the position would fill the position. with honor to themselves, their party and the best interests of the nation. While speaking on the subject of the conven
 tion Colonel Eggers stated that it was his intention to work to secure a home rule plank in the national platform and that he would also try to impress 1t on members of the convention, so that in the event of the success of the party in November, which was almost absolutely certain, 1t would not remained dead letter as had been the case with the democratic one.

 diers did not threaten to hang him once
 with bell rope on train, the Indiana statesman with fire flashing from his eyes, with anger. called Ingalls, a 'dirty dog and liar" if he insinuated such a thing. Eplthets like the above seem to be the last resort of democracy when coFnered with unanswerable argument, but it will not correct history and the mere assertion even of senator of that kind will not carry conviction.

The path of the territorial officials does not seem to be strewn entirely with roses. New Mexico democrats, in several portion Of that territory, are mak- ing war on Governor Ross. while ou, own governor of Arizona has many bit ter enemies in his own party. Up in Dakota severest kind Of resolutions have been passed against the man sent out by Cleveland to rule over them; charges have been preferred against him and for warded to the president with request to "take him away" Our chief justice who has had smooth sailing ever since his advent in the territory. has recently gotten into the newspapers in way nos pleasing to him, while southern papers tell of a tilt between Judge Barnes and District Attorney Rouse m Tucson in which it is said the former addressed from the bench some rather uncomplimentary remarks, to which the latter vigorously excepted. In do- ing so he advised the judge to re-read his commission and thereby ascertain the extent of his jurisdiction. The judge warmly responded in the mega tive that the disputed jurisdiction over the action of the district attorney ex- tended to his court to which Mir Rouse. with equal warmth. responded in the negative. The altercation be- came quite personal, and was exceed ingly interesting to the republican spectators. Rouse IS evidently hard man to sit down on. It is to be hoped that when the republican party goes ln,o power again March 4th 1889 that it will give home rule to the territories.

THE FOURTH OF JULY.

The timely suggestion of the JoUR- NAL-MINER, on Saturday evening, Tn re- gard to a general Fourth of July cele-
 bration in Prescott. seems to have struck a popular chord in the public mind.
 and was enthusiastically talked over yes terday and to-day. The general teel- ing seems to be that a programme
 should be arranged to cover three or
 four days and attract the people from
 every section of the county as well as from adjoining counties. The heat of
 the Salt river valley at that time will be such as to suggest to the citizens trip
 to higher and cooler altitude, and Phenix would. no doubt, send delega- tion of citizens. The Atlantic & Pacific and Prescott & Arizona Central railroads excursion rates, and with an interesting
 would give programme of sports; races,
 games etc. many parties living along the line of the former road would avail
 themselves of the opportunity of visiting
 the capital of the territory, the prettiest town in Arizona. Miners and ranchers throughout the county even to the re- motest boundaries, whose business keeps them on the extreme frontier of civillza-
 tiop, would only be too glad to join in such celebration, and if proper efforts are put forth now to make preparations Prescott could get up celebration ! such as she has not witnessed for years. No great expense need be incurred either, and what is necessary to make it a complete success would be more than returned by the advertising it would give
 us abroad. We are now on the very eve of more prosperous times than have been
 experienced for years. The dark clouds of financial depression which have hung over our heads during the past few years
 have already begun to break and the
 past month has seen greater volume of business transacted in all branches of trade and in all industries, than in any corresponding month for several years.
 Let us celebrate the retuon of prosper ous times, as we'll as the II2th anniver- sary of our national independence at
 one and the same time in manner. be- fitting the occasion.

A SHOOK THAT COUGHS.
Two Families Badly Scared by . Con
 sumptive, Door Slamming Ghost.

TWO Famtlfes Badly Scared by Con.
 sumptive. Door Slamming Ghost.
 LITTLE FALLS, N. Y., April 14-For sev- eral weeks ghost rumor has been flying about town. The spook is located in the dwelling at g Partens street James Carney lives on the first floor and Mrs Moynahan and her two children on the floor above. They have lived in the house several months.
 About three weeks ago they were startled by ghostly noises during the night. They heard in one of the rooms the sound of a hacking cough, which would be repeated at frequent intervals until the dawn of morn ing. Doors would be opened and shut by some unseen agency. If a door was closed it would spring open almost instantly, and if opened it would close with a slam, and yet no hand touched it.
 MT. Carney is a contractor for mason work, and is man of fair intelligence and not easily frightened, but the coughing of that ghost made his hair rise on end and his knees quake. The sound of coughing came from under the bed in one of his rooms, but when they moved the bed and looked under it they could discover nothing as to the cause of the coughing Doors that were carefully fastened at night were found unfastened ill the morning.
 The Carney and Moynahan families became demoralized. On Monday night last the ghosts made such racket that both families took refuge in one room. They heard with blanched faces the doors slammed to and opened by some invisible agency, while the coughing was more violent than ever. There were seven persons huddled together in the room, but tue ghost did not seem at all disturbed by their presence. On the following day they vacated the premises, and nothing will induce them to enter them again.

The impression prevails that general strike will be inaugurated very soon.

 CHICAGO, April 1.-The beer brewers strike stands just about where it did at first When the union declared at daybreak on Thursday that its members must go out a number did not obey but stayed at work. Yesterday, however, many of these laggards followed the lead of their comrades and joined in the strike Others of the strikers, who had, according to the statement of the brew srs, promised to return, did not do SO. Nearly all the boss brewers report that they can de- liver all the beer wanted. They are receiv- ing number of new men, and do not think the trouble will last long.
 NEW YORK, April 1.-The boss brewers say that 1900 non-union workmen have already signed applications for employment, and that there is no doubt that the breweries in New York and Brooklyn will all start up Monday, independent of the old workmen. The latter are equally confident that the bosses cannot carry out their programme. Both sides scout the idea of making any con- sessions Cigarmakers' Union Mo- 10 have voted to aid the brewers in their threatened trouble

EMMA TOMS LONG SLEEP.
A Trance Lasting Many Days-She Knew
 it Was Coming.

A Trance Lasting Many Days-She Knew
 it Was Coming.
 BUFFALO, April 14-For some time the village of Attica, Wyoming county, has been greatly excited over the case of young woman named Emma Toms who goes into frances, the length of which she tells before hand. She has now been in a trance lasting over a month. Emma sank into her present sleep on Sunday, March Il. She had lain wide awake eight consecutive days and nights, partaking during that time of more nourish- ment than in all the six months of her pre- vious trance, during which she partook of a glassful of milk, administered in teaspoonfuls.
 During her present trance the physician, who calls daily, has managed to force between her lips few teaspoonfuls of the liquid, but this is difficult feat, as she rarely parts her lips When closed her teeth are firm as wise, any effort to pry them open proving useless. She lies perfectly still, her arms and legs being white and cold and pulse very feeble. The face is the only warm part of her body, being flushed with alternating fever.
 When, some time ago. she predicted to the reporter that she would sleep thirty days, and perhaps longer, she did so without the least hesitation.
