The Picnic.

The picnic yesterday at Warmers mill, given for the benefit of the pupils of the public school was complete success and highly gratifying to the teachers who had the arrangements in hand. It is estimated that over 300 children were present, together with many of their parents and friends. The children were on the ground early and all proceeded to enjoy themselves as they felt inclined. At one o'clock dinner was announced, and a table two hundred feet long had been loaded with such eatables as de- lighted the little ones. Cakes, candy, lemonade and ice cream there was no end to. The day was a lovely one for the occasion-it was not cold, neither was it hot-and the children will long remember it and wish for its repetition.

Railroad News.

MT. L. Spofford, who works in the shops is building a residence on the east side of the track, where he has secured a valuable lot and beautiful location.
 The business on the road is better now than it was two weeks ago and is said to be gradually picking up. There were two extra freight trains sent out yester- day.
 J. H. Vanpilt, the librarian and keeper of the bunk rooms, at the shops, says al though the matrimonial epidemic has left many empty hunks on his hands, yet the indications are that it is by no means at an end. Unless all signs fail there will be several more weddings to record in railroad circles in the near future
 The passenger train that was due here yesterday morning at one o'clock, ar rived yesterday evening, sixteen hours late. The delay was caused by wrecked freight train fourteen miles this side of El Paso, caused by the broken fiange of a wheel. The engine and eleven cars went into the ditch but no one was hurt.
 The Railroad Library has lately added some valuable papers and magazines. The Century, London Illustrated News, The Forum, North American Review, Weekly Globe, New York Mail and Elk press and Puck are among the new pa pers now to be found in the reading room. Besides these one of the railroad officials presented the library with twelve valuable books last week, The library is in healthy condition, though the re- ceipts are somewhat reduced owing to the light force now at work in the shops.

Thanksgiving Proclamation.

President Harrison has issued the following proclamation:
 ''One hundred years have passed since the government whice our forefathers founded was formally organized. At noon, on the Both day of April, 1789, in the city of New York, and in the pres ence of an assemblage of the heroic men whose patriotic devotion had led the col onies to victory and independence, George Washington took the oath of office as chief magistrate of the new born republic. This impressive act was pre- ceded at 9 o'clock, in all the churches in the city by prayer for Gods blessing on the government and its first president The centennial of this illustrious event in our history has been declared to be a general holiday by an act of congress to the end that on this period the whole country may join in commemoration ex- ercises appropriate to the day. In order that the day and occasion may be asso- ciated with deep thankfulness in the minds of the people for all our blessings in the past, and that they may devote applications to God for their gracious continuance in the future, the represen tatives of religions of all creeds, both Christians and Hebrew, have memorial ized the government to designate the hour for prayer and thanksgiving on that day. Now, therefore, I, Benjamin liar rison, president of the United States of America in response to this pious and reasonable request do recommend that Tuesday, April Both at the hour of 9 o'clock in the morning the people of the entire country repair to their respective places of divine worship to implore the favor of God that the blessings of liberty, prosperity and peace may abide with us as people. and that his hands may lead us in the path of righteousness and good deeds In witness thereof, l have here unto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States of America to be af- fixed Done in the city of Washington, on this the 4th day of April, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and eighty nine and of the independence of the United States the one hundred and thirteenth" By the President,
 BENJAMIN HARRISON.

A Charivari.

The reporter encountered a noisy crowd last night in front of MT. Gros- setta's grocery store. They were all em- ployes of the Southern Pacific railroad and each had a five gallon oil can and a good sized stick with which he intend ed to belabor the can. They were just tuning up for the purpose of giving their friends and co-laborers, Messrs. Thos. Muirhead and G. A. Thumb, a tin can serenade, more correctly known as a charivari. There were about fifty men in the crowd and it was full of good humor At seven o'clock the marching order was given, after all the cans had been tested and found to be in perfect order. They first visited Mir. Muirhead and that gentleman must have thought that he had been transported to to in- side of boiler factory. He was pre- pared, however, and knew what the boys were after. A supply of refreshments were on hand. His friends were pre- vailed upon to cease their noise and par take of the good things provided. MT. Thumb was next visited and he also re- sponded in a similar manner to MT. Muirhead, after which the ''tin can brig ade" dispersed and peace and quiet again settled over the neighborhood.

GRAHAM COUNTY.
Items From Solomonvi11e--TheD Dis trict Court--Three Men Awaiting Sentences--The Cattle and Sheep Men.

Mir. Frank Hereford returned this morning from Solomonville, where he has been attending the Graham County District Court, now in session. There was a good sized criminal docket, and some important civil business which brought number of attorneys from diff ferent points. Among those in atten- dance, were: Judge Wm. Herring of Tombstone, Judge Campbell of Califor- mia, and Messrs. Zabriskie, Lowell, He ney and Hereford of Tucson.
 When MT. Hereford left there had been two men convicted and one plea of guilty had been entered.
 In the case of the cowboys arrested for the killing of five Mexican sheep herders fast winter, which created con- siderable excitement, the grand jury ig nored the bill, but the prisoners are still held. as the district attorney, MT. Pat terson, came into court and asked that the witnesses be held for another inves- tigation, stating that other business pre- vented his being present when the case was considered by the grand jury, and with the existing evidence he could not see how such an agreement could be reached if the evidence was properly pre- sented. MT. Theodore F. White, mana ger of the Chiricahua Cattle O., for whom the cowboys were at work, and MT. Montana, the employer of the men killed were both in attendance at the court.
 On his return home MT. Hereford met Lieut.. Watson at Bowie station who had been to Fort Bowie. It was learned from Lieut.. Watson that that the two Indians, who killed the teamster Cosper on the old Globe road five or six weeks ago, had been run down and one of them killed and the other captured. This was cold -blooded murder, Cosper being shot from his wagon for no other pur- pose than desire on the part of the In dians to get his gun.
 Lieut.. Watson showed MT. Hereford Hotchkiss gun which he had lately re- ceived for the purpose of smelling the In dians out of the rocks and mountain canyons when they undertook to stand off the military as they have frequently done in the past. It is claimed that with this gun the Indians can be easily driven from their strongholds and i'm pressed with an intense desire to sur render when ordered to do so.

A FATAL SHOT.
Mariana Portillo Shot Through the Heart by Cesario Chacon--The Shooting Supposed to be Acci- dental

There was a commotion in the neigh
 borhood of the ice factory yesterday
 Cesario Chacon shot Mariana Portillo
 through the heart with Winchester rife, killing her instantly. The particu-
 lars of the killing were about as follows: Chacon in company with two friends had been out hunting and on their re- turn stopped at a house near the ice factory, where they met Mariana Portillo and two or three other girls. They had WINCHESTER RIFLE
 and one of the men commenced to foolishly handle the gun, when he was remonstrated with and told to take the cartridges out of it. He did so, as he thought. but overlooked the fact that when he threw the first cartridge out of the barrel he threw another one into it. After taking the balance of the car tridges out he handed the gun to Cha con with the remark, ''Now the gun is empty and there will be no danger of hurting anybody with it."
 Chacon took the gun, when Mariana II marked: If there is no danger you may shoot at me now," or words to that ! effect, when Chacon raised the gun, AIMED AT HER HEART
 and fired, the girl dropping from the chair dead.
 The surprise dumbfounded those pres ent for some time, but when they real ized that what they saw before them was not delusion they hurried out to give the alarm and Chacon started to hunt an officer and met Captain John son near the court house, to whom he surrendered, and he was locked up He was pale as death and terribly fright ened.
 Chacon is about 9 years old and has been at work in the machine shop at the depot for number of years and is gen orally
 WE'LL SPOKEN OF by all who know him.
 The dead girl was about 19 years old and we'll known and liked in the neigh borhood. She was at one time domes- tic in the home of Judge Meyer, who speaks very highly of her. Her sister, 1t is said, is now engaged to Chacon to be married at an early day. Judge c. H. Meyers this morning sum- moned coroner's jury at nine o'clock in his office to make an investigation of the facts. The prisoner was brought out and told the story of the terrible tragedy substantially the same as given above and he was corroborated by all the other witnesses to the shooting The girl came here several years ago from
 Hermosillo, Sonora. The jury after hearing all the testimony in the case re- turned verdict of death accidental and Chacon was discharged.
