A MAN paid his debts in Tucson
two days after the Wham robbery,
and was promptly arrested but after
wards released. 1t must indeed b.
n rare occurrnco to pay debts in that
ancient burg as it brings man
under the suspicion of being knight
of the road.

ONE OF those great calamities
which most rapidly growing cities
undergoat some time in their early
history has just been falling upon
Seattle, the leading city of the Puget
Sound country, and containing a
population of about 10000. The
entire business portion of the city
has been swept away 10y fire. The
finest buildings in the place are in
ashes. Az area of 64 acres has
been burnel over and the losses
aggregate from $4,000, 900 to Is,
100000.

IT is hoped that the Sanitary
board of Colorado will not enforce
the inspection of healthy New Mexico
cattle and the consequent payment
Of inspectors fees and charges. The
Injustice OF the act is especially op-
percnt in the case of New Mexico
and Arizona cattle not to be located
in Colorado, but merely on route to
Kansas or the northern marturing
states or territories. There is Z
wrong to be rigthed, and the Colorado
Sanitary board is requested to give
the matter immediate attention.

The San Francisco Chronicle says:
The Mexican government prompted
by the personal appeals of ex-Gover'
nor Rnss Of New Mckee, has pro
missed to consider the establishment
of some quarantine against the i'm
portation from Europe of cattle in
fected with pleuro-pneumonia. Ii
speedy action is taken tbs cattlemen
of Texas, New Mexico and Arizona
will be guarded against constantly
increasing danger Of loss Of stock
through this deadly complaint.

California oreDre. a, .nc,,o,

Several meetings have been held in
Southern California for the purpose of
considering most important question,
that OF selling California oranges at the
East by the auction system. Citrus fruits
from the Mediterranean, Florida and else
where have been disposed of at auction in
the principal markets Of the East for
years. The system at present is recog-
nized as the only available one for the
disposing of perishable fruits where
sellers and buyers are placed upon an
equal footing. The experience of the past
furnishes US proof of very many advant-
ages over the old system of disposing of n
large fruit crop, prominent among which
are the mail finance of steady market.
good average prices, rapid distribution,
prompt cash returns for shipments. light
expenses. We predict that the time will
come when CALIFORNIA; entire fruit prod
| uct will find It's way into consumption
| through the auction house. At the public
meetings lately held in Riverside, San
Bernardino and elsewhere, the large grow
ers and shippers who have investigated
| the auction system, advocate it as being
the best method for placing this seasons
crop. Mr.. Shelley, of the firm of Griffin
d Skelley, Of Riverside, stated as his ex-
perience that the best prices. quickest
| sales and most prompt returns were had
! by the auction system; he had watched its
results in Europe and in the East and
! firmly believed in the principle, and ad-
vised the orange-growers at Riverside to
dispose of their crop through the auction
house, provided satisfactory prices could
not be obtained from local buyers.-Cali-
io-nid Fruit Groper

Manure vs.. Commercial Fertilizer.

yearly and fertilizer factories are springing
up IN almost every city. The manufacture
OF fertilizers is already great industry

hundreds OF manufacturers and bringing
trade and commerce to many small. stray

sterile that it viii scarcely support the
resident population.
Undoubtedly commercial fertilizers are
a great benefit to American farmers. They
have enabled farmers to grow larger CROPS,
to grow better quality of grain, fruit and
vegetables, and with the aid Of green ma
nuring, they have also been the means of
bringing large acres of worn out and sterile
land to productiveness. A judicious use
OF commercial fertilizers will prove a
pressing and source of great profit to every
farmer, but the injudicious use, depending
entirely upon the superphosphate and
| other soil stimulants to keep up the fer
tiiity OF the land, viii not only ruin the
farmer but his farm.
Among the numerous disadvantages of
commercial fertilizers, inJudicious use is
the most harmful. In sections where thew

| The natural fertility of the soil has been
so completely exhausted that it can only

labor spent in cultivating the land will be
Of little avail. Their farms are WORTHLESS.

creased and the spirit of God appeared to be

creased and the spirit of God appeared to be
awfully withdrawn.
Alarmed by this survey, 1t seemed as If
for common safety the people by one Inn
pulse commenced a return of their allegiance
to the God of the colony, and from 1735 to
over the land. About this latter date came
the Rev. George Whitsfeld like a flaming
comet athwart the sky. People focked to
hear him by thousands. Coming from the
South (Charleston) by water he landed on the
New England shore In Rhode Island in 1740,
and thence swept on westward through
Massachusetts, and down the Connecticut
valley like whirlwind, gathering strength
as he advanced. Under such an unusual ex-
element 1t was no wonder that some weak
minds became unbalanced, and then as now,
strangely became possessedwith the idea it was
their duty to preach, hence 1t was that host
of erratio exhorters and teachers with more
wind than sense "sowed error, discord, jeal.
ousy and confusion in many of the churches"
Because of these latter results some of the
leading preachers Of the colony were bitter
enemies of the revival. Among these was
Mr. Stiles. Old school, cold light" true to
his Alma Mater and conservative to the last
l degree, he was in no accord with the work in
| the land. It was perhaps for this very reason,
because he gave no uncertain sound as to
4 where was his position, that he was called on
/ to preach the election sermon before alluded
| to. Says Trumbull of It:
"The preacher at the election Q742) was
the Rev. Isaac Stiles of North Haven. HI
was q most bitter enemy to the
work which God had been and wal
carrying on in the land, and to ali
the instruments of it, He gave himself
great liberty to reproaoh them, (the revival

Peter Hansen,s Fatal Dive Near Barns
willie Bridge.
Peter A. Hansen, Dane, who boarded at
the Franklin House and was employed by
G. R. Waterhouse & Co., In driving piles at
the old Porter Stair mill wharf near Barnes
vile bridge, was instantly killed yesterday
afternoon at about O'Clock while in bath
ing In Mill river near the bridge. He took a
dive off the dock where he had been at WORK
and struck upon his head in the mud, in
four feet Of water, breaking his neck. He
had taken O running jump from the pile
driver in order to make a good dive. His
waited half minute to see him reappear,
but nothing could be seen of him. At first
they were not frightened, as they knew him
to be good swimmer; but after couple of
minutes had elapsed they felt that some ao-
cident had befallen him. Charles Fothergill
and Lawrence O'Neil then jumped into a
skiff that was moored to the pile driver and
pushed off. After a search of about Is min
utes, the men meanwhile feeling In the mud
with boat hook and oars, Fothergil
caught the hook into Hansen's cloth
ing and he was brought to the
surface and taken into the boat. The body
was afterwards taken to the distillery and
several men worked over it for half an hour
trying to effect resuscitation. Medical Ex-
aminer White, who arrived little while
later, pronounced the man dead and decided
that death ensued from a fracture of the
neck.
It Is believed that Hansen's head stuck In
the mud as he made the dive. Deceased was
thirty five years old and unmarried. He had
been in this city about five months. The
BODY was taken 3. to Hansen's boarding mouse.

seen boys diving there and probably thought
the water was deep enough where he tried it.
