;t. Johne, Thuraday, December l2.
District Court.

court which has been held in Apache county for several years.
 The grand jury convened Mon day noon, and had it not been for 9 necessary delay on the part of needed witnesses from the Navajo reservation it could have adjourned Wednesday night.
 It preferred and presented twelve indictments, ten of them for felo- nies, and two for misdemeanors. Of the cases tried, all parties were convicted save one.
 The Sheriff will carry to Yuma for murder one Indian, for grand larceny one Indian and one Mexi- can, and for misrepresentation of public moneys one white man.
 One party convicted of misde- meanor enriched the county to the extent of fifty dollars.
 The conviction of the County Assessor was a source of great re- gret to all of his partizan friends, but was an unfortunate necessity. It exemplifes the old Democratic doctrine, that integrity in public position is absolutely essential. The Judge, District Attorney and Sheriff are all good Democrats, but when public justice demanded it, they each closed his eyes to the question of politics, and did their official duty, and thus showed to the com munity their worthiness to fill their respective positions.
 Many regretted that the unfortu nate mischief-maker of St. Johns E. s. Stover-did not have his trial, but all decent people here live in the hope that at Prescott justice will be meted out to him. His de- serts he will never get on this earth.
 Alfred Ruiz was properly indict- ed-but of course asked for con- tinuance and obtained it. The grand jury passed a resolution in structing the Board of Supervisors to institute proceedings on his and E. w. Nelson's official bond for the recovery of fees which he has ille- gally charged the county amount ing to several hundred dallars.
 The grand inquest seemed to be satisfied that from the day he en- tered, until he left the office of Dis trict Clerk, he and his deputy kept up continual peculation.
 One feature was prominent dur ing the entire term, and that was, that the Mormons were always on the side of the enforcement of the criminal laws, and those who have been black-guarding them were prominent as obstructionists of the wheels of justice. Judge Wright earned additional gratitude at the hands of our people by his impar- tiality and fairness, and even the affidavit-makers-the vipers who sought to tarnish his good name are silent so far as criticism goes.
 This court, owing to the energy and systematic methods of T. w. Johnston, who acted as District AL torney, cost the county about $500 less than usual. Too much praise cannot be given to NIT. Johnston for the zeal and high order of ability which he displayed in the advocacy of the peoples cause, and though his successive cases out of six made the obstructionists, and some small-souled, envious attorneys, turn green in the face, the law-abi ding, peace-loving, tax-paying peo- pie of the county will gratefully re- member the valiant and successful service he rendered Apache county at this term of court.

TRUE TO EACH OTHER.
A War Romance with Comparatively
New and Touching Plot.

There is a lady serving as clerk in one of
the executive departments here whose no
nance is unknown to her associates, but
was told the other day by friend TO the
Washington correspondent of the PhiladeI-
phia Times. She is rather advanced in
years now, but silll retains many of the at
fractions Of body and mind that made her
belle thirty years ago. She IS of Southern
birth, and shortly before the war became
engaged to young man in her native city
Of Mobile. When the war broke out her
father, who had most Of his property IT,
vested in the North, and was the Southern
representative of a New York cotton house,
left Mobile and bought residence in the
highlands Of New Jersey. There he lived,
and the daughter, by some method known
onlv to herself, kept up communication with
her lover, who became an officer IN the Con-
federate army. He, learning that she was
seriously Ill. got leave of absence from his
commander, and getting through the Union
lines on forged pass, made his appearance
at her home in New Jersey. She and her
family were. OF course, very much aston
ished at seeing hin and were alarmed lest
his identity should be discovered. They
introduced him 20 their friends as relative
from abroad, but discharged servant,

NAVIGATION.
Driving Boats by Water Jets, Air Propel.
lcrs and Gas Jets.

A correspondent Of the English Mechanic
says: The report on the trial OF Thorny-
crofts torpedo boats was In the SCREW
boat the efficiencies are - Engine, OF;
screw, 0'65; total, 05. In the hydraulic tho
efliciencies are: Engines, or; jet, OIL
pump, 0'46; total, 0225. The jet as propel-
Ter may be taken as little better than the
screw, but the loss lii the pump is a dead
loss, and represents about half Of the
power. In other words, before hydraulic
boat can be made TO compare favorabiy
with one driven by screw the pump pro-
ducng the Jet must work without loss.
The German experiment by employing the
steam 10 act direct as piston on the water
shows the possibility Of getting rid OF both
steam engine and pump by sort Of combi-
nation of both. For fair trial it should be
tried in the same boat with the same power,
and unless there are losses that it would
be impossible TO cure, it should certainly
beat the screw The above value Of a water
Jet was of the particular one used IL does
not follow that this is the most efficient one
possible. At the discussion in the Royal
Institution there was great difference OF
opinion about the best kind.
Regarding the air propeller: The canal
boat tried at Boston, beng GO feet long,
with bluff bow and stern, would not differ
much in size from the torpedo boat; then as
an II. p. engine gave q speed Of knots,
and the propelling power for greater speed
increases as the cube Of the velocity, we
can easily compare the water jet and air
propellers as used in the torpedo and canal
boats. The question may be stated thus:
The cube Of 4 knots is "a. then as Fl. p. Is
20 ca, so is 10 II. p 10 ] 800; the cube root
Of this is II i which is the speed in knots
that the canal boat would be propelled at
BIZ Roots blower driven by an engine OF
40 II. r.
Now, since this beat was propelled b.
Jet Of air, il is equally certain that II could
be driven by jet CT steam, so tho engine
and blower are quite unnecessary, and re-
moving them would more than fulfill the
conditions required in the Official report for
making the je. mere effective than the
screw.

CHICAGO, Feb. 23.-Lewis w. Neebe re-
turned from Joliet today where he went to
call on his brother, Oscar, the anarchist.
Prior to going Mr.. Neebe had talk with
Judge Gary, who presided at the anarchist

Oscar had made him a full statement re-
garding formations, workings and plans
of the anarchistic groups including the
Lehr and Weir Verein, how he became
marshal Of an armed body. marching on
the board OF trade, how he lost or injured
his fingers in experiments with dyna-
mite, what steps he and 9TH
ers took in the contamination of
their proposed social revolution-when he
exposed all the plans and schemes of the
defense during the progress of the trial
and then expressed regret and contrition
and then be the judge would be in a
position to say what he would do on the
question of signing petition for pardon.
A statement of requirements was laid
before Oscar and he agreed to fulfill them.
The prison authorities have furnished him
pen. ink and paper for this purpose and

WILL BE REORGANIZED.
A New Set of officials Predicted for the
Missouri Pacific.

CHICAGO, Feb. p 1t leaked out today
that W. H. Newman, third vice president
of the Missouri Pacific road, has rendered
his resignation to take effect April l. No
reason is given for Mr.. Newman's retire
ment, but when considered in connection
with the resi- gnation of Second Vice Presi-
dent A l.. Hopkins and the changes that
are promised in the board of directors it
seems to lend color to the rumor that a
complete reorganization of the Missouri
Pacific company is about to occur. 1t has
recently been reported that II. II. Clark,
vice president and general manager,
would retire from the service of the COM
pany very soon, but this is now believed TO
be a mistake. On the contrary those who
profess TO know something OF the relations
existing between Mr. Clark and Jay
Gould venture the opinion that the former
will be made president of the company,
Gould retiring. 1t Is understood Mr. New
man on his retirement from the Missouri
Pacific intends TO abandon railroad bust
ness permanently.
