A broken Raft.

The rafter. Silss Wright, experienced
a misfortune late yesterday afternoon as
IL was coming over the rapids with raft
Of eight strings of lumber. One end o I
her raft struck on the rocks, and the re-
suit was that the raft was considerably
broken up. About 500 logs got loose and
foated of toward either side Of the main
channel Of the river. The little steamer
continued on down the stream with the
remainder of its raft and the stray logs
floated on behind. By the time the
steamer had reached Credit island below
the city. portion Of the loose logs had
floated through the bridge. They were
scattered In all directions. from one
shore to the other. and some were a half
mile IN advance OF the others. The raf~
ter Wheeler and number of log men
from this side of the river. caught most Of
the logs after two or three hours work,
but quite a number got away. They
will undoubtedly be captured by fisher
men farther down the river.

Park Commissioners

Some of our progressive. minded citi-
zens whose influence has counted in
bringing about the street and park im>
provements Rock Island is having. have
suggested TO the mayor the propriety of
appointing park commissioners for the
two squsres-Union and Franklin-such
as larger cities have. The mayor has the
authority to create such offices, the in
cumbents to be like library directors
unsalsried. The idea is capital one, if
the mayor exercises proper judgment 10
getting men of taste and judgment to fill
the offices. Mr.. Richard Champion has
been suggested as fit man for Union
square. and no better selection could be
made, and doubtless as good man could
be found to look after Franklin square.
10 this manner the beauty of these squares
can be maintained, when once estab>
lished. We have enough parks and
should appreciate and take pride in what
we have.

A Washington dispatch says: The

duce some novelties in the line of postal
cards. The new issue. soon to be made,
will contain three styles. One is similar
in size and style to the postal card now
in use. 1t will perhaps be finer engraved
and on little better quality of paper A
new style, of large size and neat, but subs
stsntial appearance, is intended for the
use of business men and merchants. 1t
will afford space for printing or writing
matter. The gem. however.
is delicate little card for ladies' cores
pondence. 1t is to be tinted affair,
probably in pink shades, and the style
and quality of the card are calculated 10
be of such character as to commend it to
persons Of aesthetic tastes. 1t may be
used for invitations and little notes that
are not necessarily of a confidential ma
ture.

Died.

In Casa Grande, June 9th, 1889, of consumption, Harry Whitney Eggles- ton, aged Is years, eldest son of Mrs. NJ. L. Woods.
 It is probably well that none but those who have stood by the death bed of their offspring should compre- bend the depth of woe which under the circumstances wrings the very life-blood from the heart of devoted parent. Others may s!mpathiAe and mingle their tears of sadness with those who weep because of their own sorrow for the sutferings of the dear ones whom they so fondly loved, and who by the hand of fate are fast drift ing beyond the reach of their tender care and watching. but no one can realize the bitter pain caused by the severing of that "silver chord" which binds the heart of mother to her child. Even his little faults are treas ured in the memory of the ever-forgiv- ing mothers heart, and with sad rec ollection she remembers her darlings smile and cheering countenance when all was well and happy. Ofttimes ce- lestial benedictions assume this dis guise. Console myself dear mother, thy lost one is now safe from tempt ation, sin and pollution. Let hope in Christ be your resignation.
 ''For there is no flock, however watched and
 tended,
 But one dead lamb is there
 There is no freside, howsoe'er defended,
 But has one vacant chair. P.F.

The slight shock of earthquake felt here on Friday of last week seems to have been general, not only in the the United States but in Europe, and to hfve been the forerunner of the terrible floods which have created such an alarming loss of life and property as many localities are now suddened over On the same day of the earth quake here, telegrams from London and Paris later on announced that similar shocks were felt sensibly in western Europe; the same day cloud bursts occurred in Pennsylvania caus- ing the destruction O. the city of Johns own and the wires reported a loss of life incidental to the flood that would embrace 14,000 people. Disast- rous floods also occurred ill West Vir- ginia; d tornado devasted section of country near Martinsburg, Va, caus- ing a vast destruction of property and the loss of several lives, and the dis patches wound up the catastrophes of the day by announcing storms upon the seas and the loss of vessels and lives.-Nogales Herald.

A petition has been addressed to the Hon. Board of Supervisors of Pinal County, by the tax payers of that county, praying tha+-elrc- neccssssrs- steps be taken towards bonding the county of Pinal for $20,000 or such sum as the population and property valuation may empower you, under the laws of the Territory of Arizona, for the purpose of building a county court house and jail" We have no intimation what the supervisors will do in the premises, but for our part we think the movement q most ex- cellent one. The petition further states that considering the rent now paid, "the increased expenditure per annum would not amount to more than $500 or $800." A mere bagatelle when the wealth and financial strength of the county is taken into effect. Pi- nal County is strong in everything that tends to make d county rich and people great. Her mineral resour- ces are nowhere excelled, and her az ricultural possibilities surpassed by no spot on the wide Pacific Coast. What, then, is there to hinder her from hay ing one of the finest public buildings in the territory? Already Florence, her Capital, is the proud possessor of a public school building that can put to shame many older and more preten- tious towns. A good County Cour! House would join hands with the school house and Gila river bridge and be big advertising card for the county.-Citizen

A speclal from Los Angeles says: Major Kimball, Chief Quartermaster of the Department of Arizona, is in quandary as to how to proceed re- garding an important contract. A fews days ago bids were opened for supply ing three million pounds of grain and other supplies to military posts i'll Arizona, and one Gilbert Webb was found to be the lowest bidder. Ac- cording to law the contract should be awarded to him. Webb has large ranch situated between Fort Thomas and Fort Lowell, adjacent to the scene of the recent robbery of Paymaster Wham, and when the contract was just about to be awarded him, word was received at headquarters in this city of his arrest on charge of par ticipation in that robbery. The authorities are now perplexed as to whe her theysare obliged by law to award him the contract or not.

Dom,n,on, of H,. crae, Moo.on.,.

Some idea of the extent of territory of the Canadian diocese may be gath cred from the fact that the Bishop of Moosonee exercises jurisdiction over an area as large as Europe, extending all around the Hudson's bay territory and reaching up to the North Pole. Ten thousand people are under his care in this vast region. and there is no resident minister of any other body of Christians besides the bishop and his seven clergy. The distances are enormous, and the shortest way to the northern part of the diocese is to go to England first and then go out in the yearly ship which en- ters Hudson's bay. The bishop has everything to do for himself. and is a good printer, bootmaker, carpenter, bricklayer, etc. He has been a worker in that far away locality for nearly forty years.--The Church Worker.
