The strike which was inaugurated a week ago last Monday by the brakeman and conductors of the Atlantic and Pa cifc Railroad came to a terminus last Thursday morning, the railroaders ac- ceding to Manager D. B. Robinson's $ proposition, viz: That he would restore the two discharged conductors, but that after the 18th of October, the third brakeman would be taken from each train. It is reported, however, that he also said that the company would en- ploy all the brakemen who were dis charged in other capacities, so that any man who cared to work would not be out of employment on account of the change The proposition is to run extra crews on the road after that date, and increase the working force in the shops and round-houses.-Champion.

Deputy United States Marshal Wm. Smith, of Arizona, has received inform ation that Francisco Vega, bandit con. cerned in the murder of Barbey Martin and his family in Arizona in 1886, is m jail in Altar, Sonora, Mexico. Martin sold his ranch in Arizona and with hIs wife and two little girls started for Phe- nix, with about $500 in his possession. After several weeks had passed and moth. ing had been heard from Martin, his friends organized a searching party. At point of the road known as "Nigger Wells," the cremated remains of Martin and his family were discovered. The wagon had been burned and the two horses shot. Vega and three others were indicted for the crime. One of the par ties was afterward shot, and the two others are still at large. Vega has many other crimes charged against him.-El Paso Herald.

Tomas Abalos and Francisco Sorano y Morgan, were caught killing calf be- longing to Isaac Isaacson. A warrant was sworn out for their arrest and put in the hands of Sheriff Creaghe, who succeeded in catching Morgan; but To- mas was too old bird, and had too many allies to be caught mapping. He managed in some way to have horse handy, and made his escape. From the description of the horse he is said to have ridden away, the animal belongs to Nat Greer, Treasurer of this county, and is one that he has been hunting for for the past month or six weeks. The animal is sorrel, with a white face. blind of one eye, and had one shoe on front foot. Tomas Abalos is an old o. fender; in fact has been engaged in his presen; business-that of stealing cattle and horses-from the time he was large enough to ride, and has known no other vocation. If this last actss sshas the effect of keeping him away from Apache coun- ty, our citizens will be the gainer.

sHept by the Tide of Popularity

To the topmost pinnacle of success, Hostrtter's Stomach Bitters stands a shining proof of what genuine merit, backed by the living force of proven facts, can attain. The North and South American continents, Europe, Australia, the West Indies, Guatemala and Mexico have all contributed wide patronage and testimony of the most favorable kind-but unsolicited-to swell the rep utation of this sterling remedy. Among the maladies for which the most convinc- ing public and profess onal testimony proves that it is a benign curative, are chIlis and fever, bilious remittent, dumb ague. and sgue cake, dyspepsia, liver complaint, nervousness, debility, kidney and bladder complaints. It nit igates the infirmities ot age, hastens convalescence. has tendency to pre- vent ill consequences from exposure and exhaIstion. Persons of sedentary hab- its and laborious occupations will find it au ever useful tonic.

We are of the opinion there is not such another community to be found on the broad earth, as there is in St. Johns. People who claim to be good citizens, will assist any criminal in making his escape from the clutches of the law. When one is captured, tried and sen tenced, these same parties will get up a petition, circulate it indust .iously for signatures, and never rest until the thief or murderer Gas the case may be- is par doned His past career and reputation cuts no figure. Still, these game parties would feel offended were one to accuse them of sympathising with crime and criminals. Was there ever anything more paradoxical.

A Wonderful Memory.

OF persons now living perhaps II. de
Blowitz, one of the gifted editors of the
London Times, is the best provided
with the faculty of memory. Ever
since he became connected with journal
ism he has borne the reputation of hav-
ing retentive Qualities Of mind far be-
yond the ordinary. For a long time he
was Paris correspondent for the Lordon
Times, and during this time his remark
able feats became the talk of the French
capital. On the oc aston of NJ. Thiers's
great speech at Versailles in 1873, both
Delane, the managing editor Of the
Times, and Blowitz were present. After
the speech Mr.. Delane remarked to the
correspondent what n pity it was that
they had not been prepared for taking
down NJ. Theirs most eloquent $. eech.
Then, remarldng that spilled milk could
not be gathered up, he boarded the
Northern train for Calais. AT that place
he took passage ON a Straits steamer and
landed in Dover at daylight the next
morning. Here he met the morning
express with papers from London. On
picking up copy of the Times, he said
afterwards, he was almost overcome
with surprise at finding the speech ne
had listened to the night before, word
for word, as it had been delivered by
the Frenchman. Delane telegraphed
at once to Blowitz for an explanation
and received two-word reply: "From
memory" Blowitz had deplored the
non-preparation as much as his chief,
and when he reached his apartments he
sat down and wrote the speech entire
''from memory" as he said in his la
comic dispatch, and had it all transmit
ted to the paper before Delane had
rea he'd Calais. Louis Republic.

Ethan Aliens Moral Courage.

During the Revolution the pride and
the hero of the Green Mountains was
Ethan Allen, and probably there was no
man living then that had more of the
elements of the popular hero than he.
With all his rough ways and fits of
anger, Allen was a remarkably honest
man. 1t is related Of him that he owed
a person in Boston $50, for which he
gave his note. When due it was sent to
Vermont for collection. Allen could
not pay al the time, and he employed a
lawyer to secure a postponement Of pay
ment until he could raise the money.
The lawyer rose in Conrt and denied
Aliens signature to the note, as this
would oblige the other party to send to
Boston for witness, and give Allen al
the time he wanted. When The lawyer
made his plea, Allen, who happened to
be in the back part of the Court room,
strobe forward, and IN a voice of thun-
der addressed the lawyer; "Mr. Jones,
j did not hire you to come here to lie
This is a true MOTEL signed it-and
I'll pay it I want no shutting, want
time. What employed you for was to
get this matter nut over to the next
Court, not to como here and lie and
iuggle about it. The lawyer shrank
from his blazing eve, and the case was
put over as he wished.

The Sources of Beautiful COlOrs.

The American Druggist has formulated
a list of the choicest colors used in the
arts, as follows;
The cochineal insects furnish a great
many of the very fine colors. Among
them are the gorgeous carmine, the Grim
son, scarlet carmine, and purple lakes.
The cuttletish gives the sepia. 1t Is the
inl1y fluid which the fish discharges in
order to render the water opaque VIXEN
attacked. Indian yellow comes from the
camel. Ivory chips produce the ivory
black and bone black. The exquisite
Prussian blue is made by fusing horses
hoofs and other refuse animal matter
with impure potassium carbonate. Tiss
color was discovered accidentally. Var.
ious lakes are derived fioIn roots, baTlss
and gums. Blue black comes from TIE
charcoal of the vine stalk. Lamp black
is SCOT from certain rcsinous substances.
Turkey red is mud from the mGd6sT
plant, which grows in HinGostan. The
yellow sap % *rce Of gam produces
gamboge; the natives catch the sap in
cocoanut shells. Paw sienna Is tHe natu-
