 Mrs. c. NJ. Martin, who came here from Florida in the early part of the summer, unable to walk, has recovered her health so as to be enabled to resume her instruction upon the piano by October 1.
 All the outlying plains and mesas of the valley are covered with a strong growth of bunch and six weeks grass. The feed upon the mesa above the High land canal is especially to be noted for it's iuXuriance.
 There will be a meeting of the teach CTS of the Phoenix public schools held at the high school building tomorrow morn- ing at 10 o'clock. The work for the term will be laid out and teachers will be assigned to their respective classes.
 D. E. Keating and A. T. Marsh left yesterday afternoon for Castle Creek. A wagon load of men and supplies was forwarded early in the morning. Work on the toll road will be actively pushed and it is expected that it will be com pleted within forty days.
 There was not little excitement on Centre street yesterday afternoon. A force of laborers dug down to the street car track and cleaned it off, after which a street ear was solemnly trundled the entire length of the street. This is done at stated times to hold down the franchise.
 One of the irail sisterhood made a complaint yesterday, against another of the same ilk, wherein she claimed that an assault with knife had been com mitteed upon her. Upon examination before Recorder Schwartz, no substan- tiating evidence was brought forward and the defendant was ordered dis charged.
 The exactions of the local wash house Chinamen are becoming so great that a movement is on foot to establish in Phoenix @ branch of Los Angeles steam laundry. As the mysteries of starching a shirt seem entirely beyond a laundress and as the Chinese tear up but do not clean the fabrics intrusted to them, it is to be presumed that the new venture will be successful.
 The perpetrators of the burglary upon Steinegger's store have at last been brought to light. They are five boys, ranging in age from 10 to l5 years. The robbery was quite an extensive one, fully $75 worth of various goods being appropriated, and nothing but the youth oi the perpetrators prevents the punish ment of the law being administered to them.
 In the Recorders court yesterday, Lucas Leon and Bustamente Martinez, the latter a woman, were sentenced to twenty days imprisonment each, for sleeping on the public street. For using vulgar language Beatrice Gutierrez was fined Sl5. Of the three Mexicans who clubbed each other, on Monroe street, Sunday night, one was fined $7.50, an other B and the third was set at liberty. Advices received by telegraph early last night stated that the track was clear and that trains were rolling. One passenger train was timed to pass Mar icopa, bound west, at 9 o'clock last night and another one at 9:30. The regular westbound express is reasonably sure to be on time today and the local train will bring to Phoenix the eastern passengers and mail for three days. A rush of freight may be expected later on. The washouts east of Casa Grande have shut off all trains upon the South ern Pacific except a passe nger which runs to and from the point mentioned. The trackroom at Casa Grande would be of course too limited to accomodate much of the delayed freight, SO the trains were side tracked where the news of the breaks found them, and much more freight is held in the yards at Los Angeles and other western points, await ing a resumption oftrafiic. About sixty cars of freight, much of it perishable ,are on the sidings at Maricopa.
