The figures, published Tn Wash ington press dispatch, purperting to show the production of gold and silver in Arizona during the year 1888 as stated in Governor Wel6eys report to the Secretary of the Interior. are in- correct, and have been the cause oi the Governor being unjustly criti- ci,ed. We have correct copy ef that report before us and the production of siver is given at S3,560,000, and of gold, S850,000. The figures represent ing the silver output agree closely with those collected by Dr. Trippel for the U. $. mint, while Tn the esti- mates of gold production there is a discrepancy of S2l ,5oi, Dr. Tripods figures being that much more than the Governor estimate.

The question introduced to the Col orado Mining Stock Exchange several days ago, says the Denver Republican, by Mr. N. c.

THE TUCSON SCHOOL MIDDLE

From the recent action, in Tucson, of Strauss, Zulick's appointee as Su- perintendent of Public instruction, the pubic, generally, has awakened to the fact that the spirit which prompt. ed Strauss bill which he caused to be submitted to the l4th Legislature for its approval, giving him plenary pow CT to direct the managemento of schools, was simply scotched, not killed. We are further informed by member of that session that his bill contained clause authorizing him Tn h,s discre- ton, to change text books, but it got no further than first reading and a reference to a committee who fath- omed his design. The bill, our in formant says, was seductively drawn, and seemingly as innoxious as the Lords Prayer, but, nevertheless the committee weighed section by section, and unanimously concluded that the Territory neither hungsred nor thirst ed for such radical changes in the school laws as Strauss bill proposed; hence 1t was that the ambition of SuA perintendent of Pubic Instruction over-leaped itself, and fell still born. And again he seems to have believed that he was on lead as full of prom ise as a fruit cake is of raisins. In that, however, he Is doomed to disap- continent as he was in the shelving of his bill by the 14th Legislature.
 The last turn of the crank reveals him as prosecutor of teacher who shook bis bronco son for stubbornly refusing to stand in line, for which acton on the part oi the teacher Hol- liday) Strauss preferred charges to the Board of Examiners of Pima eoun- ty, of which his wife, Thomas F. Will son, (appolnted by hlmself,) and Pro bate Judge Cords were members. The latter refusing to act, Mrs. Strauss, the mother of the son in question, and Mir. Wilson were left the arbiterS of the fate of Holiday. The 'Jury" was not pOlled for the reason that both were plainly visible The usual qpes- tlOn, as to competency as a juror to well and truly try the case, do you know the defendant ?, have you formed or expressed an opinion in fla Vor or against the accusad?, have you, heard any talk concerning or read newspapers in reference to the alleged shaking being committed were omitted for the reason that no outside bias, it was presumed, could influence tbelr judgment. The trial proceeded; the only fact to be determined, did Holiday shake Mr. and Mrs. Strauss son; and being affirmative, answered, and Gillett, another teacher, beeom- ing mixed up, was also adludged as iii the soup" The unbiased jury re- voked theIr certificates, but the teach CTS have determined ito never give it up so" and are still in the harness, in the school room, and 1t now looks as though one Charles M Strauss will be second best. He, however, thinks not but it is the generally conceived opin ion that he is sinply whistling through the grave yard, and by the time he is through with the present muddle he will have lost the tune,

Johnstown Citizens, in Mass Meeting
Assembled, Demand the Distri-
button of the Relief Fund.
Accusations That the State Board Has
Wasted the Money Given for
the Peoples Needs.
Custodians of Funds Requested to Remit
the Cash Direct to the JohnstOwa
Committee at Once.

JoHSsTOwS, Pa, July l3. A large
mass-meeting of citizens was held this
afternoon to protest against the manner in
which the relief fund is being distributed.
Burgess HOrrell in q speech said the people
of the valley should themselves disburse
the contributions, as the state commission
had shown its incapacity for the work, and
urging that the relief fund be as speedily as
possible distributed in money directly to
the people for whose benefit it was do
mated, and that all purchases, contracts
and expenses be paid for out of the fund
Immediately.
The resolutions state If the association
has reported TO Gov. Beaver that million
and half of dollars has already been eX-
pended in JohnstOwn and vicinity, il is
the strongest possible argument that the
money has not been wisely dIsbursed-
ness could such a sum have been used, and
the people have received no adequate re-
turn. The disbursement Of the fund di-
rectly will provide for the builders and
trade for merchants. will stimulate busi-
ness, restore confidence in the community
and thus directly and indirectly help those
for whom the fund was intended"
The resolutions close with an appeal to
the custOdians Of the funds at Philadelphia,
New York, Pittsburg and other localities to
transmit the funds in their hands intended
for the COnemaugh valley sufferers direct
10 the local financial COMMITTEES, 20 be dis
of inquiry. An additional resolution was
passed requesting the state commission TO
furnish an itemiZed statement of the ex-
penditures 10 date.

The strike at carnerie,s wors,

PITTsBUR6. July I3-The strikers at the
Carnegie steel plant have had full charge
of the town of Homestead since noon yes
terday, and no one dares 10 interfere. Had
not Deputy Sheriffs Calm and Meekly sur
rendered upon their arrival, yesterday. they
would have been mobbed. They were sur
rounded by a crowd of 5, 600 men and their
badges and clothes were almost torn of
their bodies. A riot was only prevented
by the deputies Offering no resistance.
Last night the strikers patrolled the streets
and every stranger was compe He'd TO give
an account of himself OF leave town.
The men employed at the other mills
controlled by Carnegie are considering the
advisability OF quitting work If the strike
is not settled. This would increase the
number of strikers by several Thousand.
HoMEsTEAD, Pa, July l3.--The-e is an
armistice to-day. The strikers remain
Amalgsmated workers and Carnegie Off
cials looking TO a settlement. The strikers
pstrolled the river banks and railroad
tracks all night looking for PinkertOn
guards and new men, The former are
quartered some miles away, ready for an
emergency.
At the conference between the Anal
gamated officials and the firm, arranged by
the sheriff to-day, number of essential
points were agreed upon, and further dis
cussion will be held Monday. This is re-
gsrded as q virtual settlement of the trou-
Bile. and IL is expected the immense plant
will soon be again in full operation.

The Union Pacific Looking for Chance to
Break an Agreement.
CHICAGO, July 1S.-The lack of harmony
in the Interstate Commerce Railway asso-
citation was illustrated to-day at a meeting
of general managers of lines in the trans
Missouri division. A hot discussion over
competitive traffic from the far west
brought out q direct threat from General
Manager Miller, of the Union Pacific, to- cut
loose from the 'gentlemen's agteement," /"
and do as he individually pleased. The
Union Pacific wanted the Denver Il Rio
Grande west of the Rocky mountains 70 be
forced to conform to the rules OF the ass0-
ton. It was shown by the Denver q Rio
Grande representatives that they had only
Joined the combination on being assured of
exemption from obedience TO the rules
beyond the Rockies Manager Miller
thereupon claimed similar privileges for
the Union Pacific, and, being refused,
made a threat of withdrawal. He was
ridiculed by those present, but neverthe-
less there was an evident fear that Presi-
dent Adams, the superior officer of Mr..
Miller, is only waiting for q pretext to
secede with the Union Pacific Some re-
lief from this feeling was oovained when
later the Union Pacific unexpectedly
agreed TO a restoration OF the passenger
rate from Colorado points to Chicago. Ten
DAYS notice of an advance from S26 TO
SS0.65, the old figures, was given imme-
diately.

Desperate Villain.

Nearly an Entire Family Wiped Out by a
Desperate Villain
BosTos, July Is "A horrible tragedy
was enacted in Somerville early this morn
ing. The victims are Mrs. Catherine Smith,
aged As, her son Thomas, aged IA, and the
perpetratOr of the deed, Augustus Rosen-
berg. while two other children of Mrs.
Smith were injured, one of whom will die.
The murderer has been living with Mrs.
Smith about year as her husband, but
the general belief is they were not married.
IL Is supposed quarrel over financial
affairs was the chief cause of the tragedy.
The parties lived up stairs over a grocery
store which Mrs Smith conducted. The
nelghbors were aroused at ! O'Clock by q
number of pistol shots. The police entered
the front door and encountered the dead
body of Thomas Smith, who received
succeeded in reaching the lower
landing before falling. He is the eldest of
the children. of which there were five. Mrs.
Smith was found in bed. The indications
were she was shot while asleep. All the
children slept in the attic. Willie, aged II,
and Augustus, aged Z, slept together. The
former was shot through the body, and the
wound is probably fatal. Augustus was
shot in the mouth, and his recovery is pos
sible. Charles, aged 5. was slightly wound
ed. He was in bed with Mabel, a year
younger. Rosenberg jumped from the
window after accomplishing his bloody
work, and was presumed for a time to have
escaped, but his dead body wss shortly
afterward found 500 feet from the scene.
He was not wounded, and as he frothed at
the mouth II is supposed he either died in q
fit or by poison.
