THE OLD STORY
The |, s, Grand juy Again Sit Down on the Bureau With a Sick.
 ening Thud.

Nothing could be more gratif! ing to the Tombstone public than to hea4 that two more of her citizens wh have sacrificed their time and none to satisfy the greed of hungry horde of U, s. officers and boomers of all adjacent town. have, after a full and impartial hearing, been acquitted o the charge of smuggling.
 No one who knew them ever ex pected that they would be held tt answer, and all who knew them and the circumstances connected with tht case, recognized the same old finger marks which have been left on the emptied pockets of dozens of our best citizens.
 The case: c. L. Cummings and w. w. Whitney, it will be rememberen bought band of sheep ot Sonora sheep raiser. They were driven over the line and inspected, the duty paid and the sheep driven up to corral near Hereford. The money was paiG by the purchasers and nothing ap parently was out of the way. Tn, next day an officer appeared on thu ground and sit zed the sheep claiming that there were 600 sheep too many. Another count was made and the fact established. The sheep were all con- fiscated and the innocent purchaser. arrested on charge of smuggling.
 They have been put to any amount of trouble, have been compelled to g. to Tucson twice and put to any amount of expense.
 The drag net has been put to work Witnesses have sprung up who offered to sell out to the highest bidder and have been taken down to Tucson to aid in besmirching the che racters of honorable cltlZens.
 How long will the people of Cochisr county stand these outrages? Is it not time that protest was sent to Washington and this kind of work stopped. Of the hundreds of citizens whose business has been ruined; of the hundreds who have been taken from their pursuits to pay tribute to the greed of those who uphold such a system ;of all the victims of this spirit "f avarice, not one has ever been con- victed of the crime of which he was charged, but as victims of a society as contemplate as that of Italian brig andage, they have been let down after the East nickel has dropped into the slot.
 The citizen in any walk of life may well shudder at the picture and ask, who next!

QUEER SuPERSTITlONs.

IN Yorkshire the English peasant if he happens to see the new moon with. out having piece of silver money in his pocket immediately turns heels over head to change his luck.
 IN parts of Scotland if pedestrian, on first seeing new moon, will stop instantly, kiss his hand three times and bow he is quite sure to find something of value within the next thirty days.
 THE coasters of the Fiji islands will not eat until they can slt flat upon the ground directly over triangle made of three small fishbones; then they only handle the food with the left hand.
 THE first visitor in a shop or market of Paris is believed by many to de- termine the fortunes for the day. In some cases the tradesman crosses him. self with the money received and says: 'God bless the hand who pays it."
 THE jettatura, or evil eye, is one of the most common superstitions of Italy. To guard against this charms are worn almost universally, as they also are in Spain, Portugal, Austria, Russia and other countries to prevent disaster and bring good luck.
 IN Cornwall piece of money is ex- hibited tO the new moon when first be- held; if this money is ''the first taken on market day." is duly spit on and turned three times toward the person who shows it, good luck is almost sure to follow.
 THE inhabitants of the interior of the Fiji islands will not partake of food while cloud is in sight, especially if the cloud lies in the west, fearing that the Great Air Whale," whose below ing (thunder) is often heard in that country, will bounce upon and ut terly annihilate them for such irrever- ence.

After painting pictures of Hea ven on the interior of his church on Sundays he dons the garb of knight of the brush and puts an earthly dye upon the exterior on week days.

ABOUT THE RAILROADS.

Bur one mile of railway was built in Iowa last year.
 THE Aroostook (Me.) Pioneer says that S2, 100000 has already been prom ised for the Burleigh railroad in that county.
 TIE maximum speed which French passenger trains are permitted to make is about seventy miles an hour, and this is uncommon.
 TIE locomotive engine is said to have maximum life of about thirty years. The annual cost of repairs is from ten to fifteen per cent. of its first cost.
 SPEAKING of railroad nicknames Chauncey M. Depew says he has heard the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne & Chicago road called "Paddy Finnigan's Wife and Children"
 TIE highest bridge in the world is about to be constructed between Shum- la and Flanders, in Texas, and will be- long to the Southern Pacific railroad. It is to span the Pecos river, and will measure 1,200 feet from cliff to cliff, and the central part will be 37s feet above the water.
 PRESIDENT MoFFATT, of the Denver & Rio Grande road, travels about the country in private car which cost S45,000, which is more than he paid for his home at Denver. But he says, jolsingly, that his wife makes it so uncomfortable for him every time he comes back from q trip in this palatial coach that he wants to give the blessed thing away. -,

TIE FUNDING OPERATIONS.

Washington, Sept. 3.-The amount OF IL per cent
bonds presented for redemption to-day was F2,l9o'-
sOO Of which 81 247, 700 received at Washington

making the total continued to date $23,7O6,2oo. VI
the bonds continued to-day $4,000 are held by Ma
tional banks basis Of circulation, leaving S15lO-
ESQ used by National banks to secure circulation.
Secretary Foster made the following statement this
afternoon In regard to the financial condition OF the
Treasury The irresponsible statements published to
the effect that the Treasury will be practically ex-
hausted by the payment Of about $27 100000 of IL
per cents Is best answered by the fact that we had
in the Treasury yesterday, in excess of the 100000
600 gold reserve, S1O7 100000 of money with con-
tingent liability of si7OO0OOo, leaving the net cash
more than $50 OOO0 00 AS TO tho S47,00o00O of cash
reserved to the contingent liability If held by
bank $40 100000 of it could be loaned with absolute
safety.
Il am entirely satisfied with the result. More Than
OO0 for which there is in the Treasury,
will put into circulation thereby aiding the business
interests of the country and practically assuring
comfortable money market"
