Progressive Eucher.

Mrs. and Mrs. E. w. Wells gave a progressive eucher party at their resi- dence last evening, which for enj oyab ble social intercourse, aside from the fas- cinating amusement of the game was one to be remembered by all present. Immediately upon the arrival of the guests, the drawing for partners took place, and game was called st s 40 o'clock. At II 30 o'clock, the limit placed for playing, twelve very inter- esting games had been played, the num- Der of players being twenty four, occu- pying six tables. A casting up of games won and lost disc losed the fact thas Mrs. c. w. Culver had won the ladies' first prize, by score of II games won to one lost. Ed. NJ. Blake:won the gentlemen's first prize, while the booby by winners were Mrs. J. l.. Fisher and B. J. Sullivan After the prizes were awarded an elegant collation. of epicu rian delicacies was served. Adieus were said, and the guests took their de- psrture, and an evenings enjoyment, for which they were indebted to MT. and Mrs. Wells and their daughter, Mics Helen, passed from reality to the tsblets of memory, there to remain -meug the pleasant experiences of life.

A Prescott Lawn Parry.

A lawn party was given last evening
 | Mir. and Mrs. R. H. Burmister at their beautiful residence in East Pres
 e s. While parties of this kind are by
 no means novelty in Arizona, particu- larly in Tucson, Phenix and other towns, where the temperature is so great that the night is the only time their citizens can meet in comfort, this is the first of the kind ever given in
 Prescott, the coolness of our mountain atmosphere, at night, generally, not be- ing favorable to out of door parties. It so happened, however, that the tenn
 perature last evening was delightfully."-
 pleasant, while the moon, just ap- preaching her full, sent down her silver rays of light, from perfectly clear sky. The bluegrass lawn, surrounding the Barmister mansion is by far the most beautiful of any in Prescott, and we doubt if more beautiful one can be found in the territory. In addition to the natural light from the moon last evening, it was illuminated by Chinese lanterns, producing a most brilliant effect Three tents had also been erect ei on the grounds, two of which were used fer refreshments. and the third, with its open front facing the lawn, was occupied by the orchestra from Whip pie, which disconrsed music during the evening. Social converse, games of various kinds, and dancing ca the lawn was indalged in until eleven o'clock, when the flies of large tent were thrown open, disclosing g beautifully arranged table, laden with ice cream, 'cakes, fruits, and other delicacies, which were served to the guests. The genial
 s. and the charming hostess, by their ...rssant and sffable intercourse with >. 1T guests added additional charms
 he evenings enjoyment, and it was
 h expressions of having spent an evening O. aalloyed pleasure that the laiier took leir departure. The follow ing ls6:rs md gentlemen were present |: MT irs E. Hazeltine, MT. sn IS.

 the Verde valley, to be used in connec- ton with mining en., rprise there. ED. Wells. formerly of Phenix, is under bonds in Yuma, charged with an attempt to kill guard at the terri ,orial prison, named Neal Murphy. Wells claims that he was invited by
 Murphy to visit him at his station, and on going there was assaulted by him,
 and only acted in self defense. On Friday of next week there will be given an excellent concert, inter spersed with recitstions, at the Congre- | gational church. Rev. E. D. Wyckoff and Prof. l..

 The north bound train, yesterday af- ternoon, was stopped at Chino valley, on account of very serious washout,
 between that point and Punteney's,
 and was compelled to lay there all night. It returned to Prescott this
 morning, and it was reported that it would require probably two or three
 days to repair the break. The Mohave Miner says: "A report is current here, that the Hualpai h. dians are leaving the towns and con gregating in Music Mountains. It is l said that the "Great Spirit" has warned their medicine men" that terrible calamity will soon befsll the whites, and to escape it the Indians must go to these mountains"

An American visiting English clubs is
sure to be surprised at the number of
titles he hears. Besides the nobility
nearly every N seems to have a special
handle to his name. Colonies are not
quite as numerous rs In Kentucky or
Georgia, but for captains and majors we
can't hold a candle to them. But 1t was
reserved for me, an American, to knock
them out" on rank in n most unexpected
manner An old waiter-an e~x-soldier-
at the Savage, called me Marshall several
times n evening, and was reprimanded
by n of the members for addressing a
guest by his first name. "His namei"
exclaimed the old fellow, looking aston
ished-and then turning said, "Why,

went him one better, and the title stuck

vi CONFLICT Z

Although it has not yet been officially
announced we believe the extension Of the
Cheyenne 4 Northern to a point along
the line of the Northwestern railroad
will be completed by the first of the
year.
We believe our information to be strict
ly accurate that the contract has been let
to Fitzpatrick Bros & Collins. the big
railroad contractors who must complete
the work by Jan. l, 1890.
The railroad officials are still perfectly
mum on the subject or dc not know any
thing on the subject or do not know any
thing about it. Undoubtedly there is a
great deal Of conjecture about the whole
matter and even those high IN author
ity have no absolute assurance that any
thing will be done. Railroad building has
been exceedingly quiet all over the country
this year but there are occasions in every
business when q great effort must be
made and new enterprises be put forth
to avert extraordinary loss.
The Union Pacific now begins to realize
this. A vast section of country that has
always been tributary to this road is now
rapidly slipping away from it. An ex-
tension of thirty-eight miles to fill up the
gap between Wendover and the North
western will put the Union Pacific again
on an equal footing with its competitors.
The great public necessity of this extern
sion has been apparent. The company
now realizes that this is something which
must be done or irrtrievable loss will be
the result,
1t may therefore be accepted as a semi
authoritative announcement that this
work will be completed in the next three
months. We do not give this as a rumor
but on what we believe to be the best au-
thority.

Needn't Look Like nm Undertaken.

There are people in this world so good
that they make you tired. You meet
them most often in good places, and they
are quite apt to keep people away from
the good places instead of drawing them
there. The good Bishop Middleton, who
had studied the thing carefully, has said
Virtue itself offends when coupled with
~forbidding manners" Virtue ought not
to do that, and such a coupling makes it
all the worse for virtue. There is no rea-
son why a virtuous young a should
look like n undertaken, and why a sinful
chap should be fascinating. Things are
wrong this way. The good young man
should be charming with wit and wisdom,
and unconsciously he will mark his way
in the world with sweetness and light
and gladness, and let virtue have a better
time than sin a ever have.-New Or

Don't Forget Four Opera Glasses.


In connection with the Portland we'd
ding presents, a not unamusing story was
current in London. A well known and
popular gentleman, on arriving at his
club from the theatre, discovered that
he had unwittingly annexed a pair OF
costly opera glasses in a dainty blue vel
vet case. he at once instructed the hall
porter to restore them to the owner, who
resided at n certain number in Grosvenor
crescent. The servant, however, left
them by mistake at the same number in
Grosvenor place, where they were re-
garded in the light of n very handsome
and most appropriate wedding present.
The owner became uneasy, but the por-
ter was sure he had made no mistake,
and h mystery remained Llsolved I'M
til the lady in question accidentally saw
her glasses on the ledge of an opera box
occupied by a ducal party. An explana-
ton then ensued, and the matter was
amicably settled without the interven-
ton of the lawyers.-London World.
