SWINDLER ARRESTED.
4 MAN WHO WAS VERY FOND OF
 DYING.
His Neatly Laid Plans to Rob Life Insur ance COmpanies---Caught at Jerome
 by Deputy Sherih.

A Prescott dispatch of October Sth says: Sheriff Murrey McInenay yester- day lodged in jail here one of the most noted swindlers in the Southwest. He goes by the name of James M. Wilson, alias Matthews, alias Holley, alias Maddi- son, and his peculiar vocation has been to swindle life insurance companies.
 His first adventure was in Arkansas some years ago, when he blew up the cottage in which he lived. The explosion occurred prematurely and as result he now wears large silver plate on the top of his head. His supposed body was found in the wreck and buried by his sor- rowing widow, who recovered the amount of his life insurance policy.
 In 1888 he located in DOha Ana county New Mexico, with his wife, who IS . beautiful young woman, and immediately took out life insurance policy for $S0Ot in the New York Mutual and an addi tional accident policy for $l0Gl0 A few months after receiving the policies a fish ing excursion was organized on the 1dt Grantie and Wilson was reported drown ed. A search for the body resulted II finding a corpse, which was buried. The suspicious of the insurance companies were aroused and an investigation com menced when Wilson's wife and othe confederates became alarmed and fec the country. A large reward was offered for his arrest and some of the best detec tives in the country were in search O him.
 During a recent visit to Jerome Unde Sheriff McInernay identified Wilson ther' and made the arrest. Wilson admits hi identity, but claims to have fallen out O the boat in the Rio Grande accidentally and floated a long distance down tn, stream before reaching shore. Having had quarrel previously with his wife, he says he thought it would bea good wa. to have revenge upon her by pretendin! to be drowned.
 When found he was living in a gulcl some distance from camp. He will b. taken to New Mexico tomorrow.

Governor IrwIn,s Returned Salary.

A Washington dispatch of Oct. 9th says; The appointment of Jno. N. Irwin as governor of Arizona recalls an incl dent in hIs experience as governor of Idaho under President Arthur. He was called home by death in his family and remained there several months to settle an estate. The U. $. treasury sent him his salary regularly but the Governor de- clined to accept it saying he had not earned any money from the government while at home about his private affairs and sent the checks back to Washing ton.
 This presented a new question for the treasury officials. No one had ever made such a complaint before. They did not know what to do with the money. Finally 1t was placed to the credit of the con science fund. This made the honored governor indignant and he forthwith forwarded to the department an emphat- ic protest. He was unwilling that any money that he sent to Washington should be placed in the same fund with that surrenderedsby repenting thieves. Then the amount was placed to the credit of the public debt of the United States. His is the only case of the kind on | record.

will Obey the Law.

A Salt Lake dispatch of Oct says At the general conference of the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints this morning the official declaration of President Woodruff forbidding in the future any marriage in violation of the laws of the land was read and the con- gregation, numbering nearly 10000 per sons, including apostles, bishops and elders of the church, by unanimous vote recognized the authority of the President to issue the manifesto. and accepted it as authoritative and binding.

 The conference also readopted the original articles of faith, among which is this: We believe in things subject to Kings, Presidents and Magistrates, in obeying, honoring and sustaining law"
 The action taken settles the vexed ques- tion and places an effectual bar against future polygamous marriages in Utah It is the most important step taken by the Church for more than quarter of q century,

He Shall Have the Name.

The Florence ENTERPRISE Is anxious to know the name of the gentleman who re gently, while in Phenix, criticized severely the methods of administration upon estates in certain counties east of us We did not charge that Pinal county was specifi- cally designated, but that the unfavorable comments proceeded from a democratic lawyer of Pinal county. However we have written to this lawyer, asking per mission to use his name as the authority upon which our assertions were based. His reply IS just at hand to-day Hestates that, while he stands by his declaration, he made his comments in the way of gen eral conversation, without reference to newspaper notoriety. As political can vass IS now on, he prefers not to drag the matter into the present campaign. After the November election he authorizes us to give his name, and promises to furnish full information on the subject in hand to those desirous of hearing the same.
 As our correspondent is opposed to us politically, We are disposed to exercise that cbivalry that ought to prevail even in politics, and to let the matter rest til after election.

SILVER IN SONORA.
Effects of the Silver Bill in Mexico.
Nogales Herald.


 The passage of the Silver Bill in Con gross has not only proven a benefit in the United States, but has loosened up things considerably in Mexico.
 Ut has been a big thing for Sonora" said Col. E. c. Haines, of Tucson, to the Herald, the other day, land all branches of business there show it."
 Col. Haines says the people are great Iy pleased with the effects of the bill and count upon an era of prosperity in that state such as has never been known. The rapid advance in the price of silver caus- ed immense shipments of silver dollars out of the state, and it was but a very short time until it began to look as though there would be a deplorable scarcity of coin in circulation. In fact, even now much inconvenience IS express ed by business men owing to a scarcity of coin, and commercial paper is freely used. At present there is only one mint in the state-the mint at Alamos having been discontinued some years ago-and that one. at Hermosilio, is now kept run ming night and day. The government is buying all the bullion offered, and in fact 'hustling for more," and hopes to soon relieve the pressing necessity for silver dollars and half dollars.
 This, of course, will give the mining in dustry healthy impetus, and has so far caused work to be started upon hun dreds of mines that have been idle for years.
 All over the state there is increased de mand for promising mining propositions and fairly developed properties are eager ly sought after
 Col. Haynes says that in business cir cles there is a gleam of sunshine through out that betokens new energy and cOur- age and happy good feeling among men that is refreshing.

Cannon spoke of the lofty conceptions of the Saints, especially re- garding the future state He believed that the brethren in the penitentiary would be more prosperous when they got out than if they had not got in, because they could say they had not broken any of the GOV enants they had made.
 The official declaration of President Woodruff forbidding in future any mar Tiages i'll violation of the laws of the land was read, and the congregation, number ing nearly 10000 persons, including apostles, bishops and leading elders of the church, by a unanimous vote, recognized the authority of the President to issue the manifesto and accepted it as authori- tative and binding.
 George c. Cannon publicly announced his indorsement of the manifesto and his recognition of the supremacy of the laws that have been declared constitutional by the Supreme Court of the United States.
 The conference also re-adopted the original articles of faith, among which is this:
 "We believein being subject to king presidents, rulers and magistrates in obeying, hOnoring and sustaining the law"
 The action taken settles the vexed ques ton and places an effectual bar against future polygamous marriages in Utah.
 It is the most important step taken by the church for more than a quarter of century.

A Pre-HistOric City.

A dispatch from Chattanooga, Tennes see, says Mir. E. Hirsch, an extensive mining operator, who has secured options on the celebrated Ducktown copper mines, has returned from Polk County He states that laborers have discovered a prehistoric city near Mineral Bluff in the copper regions. Many evidences of Indian occupation have already been un- earthed. The first principal discovery was that of an ancient stone wall, It was traced for a mile. Traces of houses were also found during the brief investigation made and pottery found. Mir. Hirsch, who has visited the buried cities of the same race of people in Arizona, recogniz- ed 1t 6s of similar character to that dis covered there. There is a tradition hand ed down from the Indians that there was here a ruined city and that vast treasures had been found. The work of excava- tion will be discontinued.
