That Horse Race.

The CITIZEN local yesterday got bad
ly ratGled on the pacing race run on
Sunday last between Chess Aldridge's
black mare and Joe Soldini's pony. The
race was for purse of 500, ever a mile
and a quarter track. As both horses
have considerable local note the attend
snce was large, although but little
money changed hands over TIE event.
The black mare was the favorite of the
two and bets of five to one were repeat
eddy offered in her favor with but few
takers. The result was, however, a
genuine surprise. At the word Ego" the
mare forged slightly ahead, but in a
moment the pony appreciated the situa-
ton, was soon in front and won the race
by at least 100 yards. The time made
on the fist mile was something over
three minutes. This may appear slow
but when il is remembered that the
sun was shining down with nearly 125
degrees OF intensity, even Goldsmith
Maid in her pslmy days could not have
done much better. The little horse was
as wet as If he had just taken a bath.
This little poEey of Soldinl's is wonder
in its way. 1t is clayb in color and
so far as known is Of the most plebian
origin, but be can run against almost
anything of his size in the country. So
far as known he originally came from
Texas and was sold to his present owner
for less than $40 including saddle and
bride. Now $500 would be no induce
ment for Joe to part with him.
IL is reported that a second race will
be run in the near future, between the
same animals.

A CLOUDBURST.
Arizona INDUCES In One With Dis
astrous Results.

Preceded by DRILLING rain, and
hesvy black hurrying clouds, a cloud
burst recently made down an arroyo in
the Cerro Colorado district above Juan
Elias ranch that has left its many re-
minders after it.
For two hours there was q rush and
roar and the waters to the depth of
fifteen feet swept down the steep canyon
ct full thirty miles an hour. Every
thing OF value touched it damaged. A
dam wall built years ago for storage
purposes and previously broken through
at one spot is gone. Mines are filled,
ranches buried in sand and fences wash
ed away.
A nne new mine recently opened by
W. J. Clark, short distance up the
arroyo, and sunk TO depth or IS feet,
is now full of water, with no likelihood
OF being emptied before December. His
tools are at the bottom Of the shaft. 1t
also washed away $500 worth Of fine ore
for Mr.. Clark.
At Juan Elias ranch the damages
will run into the Thousands. The food
left great banks OF sand which filed
the watering places for his stock and
and buried bis crops and hay, running
much fine farming laud. The water
was up to his house. being four feet
deep on the floor. Miles of brush fence
are gone. He has large crews of men
excavsting the deposits that water may
be obtained for his cattle.
At Q neighboring ranch, belonging
to Q man named MaiZs, much damage
was done.

COURT MARTIAL
Every Penny Faithfully Accounted
for by Lieut.. Kingsbury.

At the court martial the morning was
consumed in hearing the charges against
Lieut.. Kingsbury and his defense.
The first witness was Major Rafferty,,
Of the End cavalry, and bis testimony
showed every penny's worth Of goods re-
ceipted for by Lieut.. Kingsbury to be
well and properly accounted for, receipts
being shown. The defense showed thet
the goods in question were surplus and
unnecessary, old pipe and shelves made
OF boxes, aud had been considered IS
unworthy Of account. Much OF them
had belonged to officers. These Lieut..
KingburY had sold at the two sales as
charged in the specifications published
in yesterdays CITIZEN, paying costs for
repairs on government wagons, and
handing over the balance to Segt. Gle
serer as compensation for much extra
labor that he had performed in the dis
mantlement Of the post, in packing
and arranging stores. Several nights
Seg't Gleason worked all night, and
the "extra services performed" were con-
sidered by Kingsbury as meriting extra
remuneration, and the proceeds Of the
sale were therefore handed over TO the
faithful sergeant.
Nineteen long letters from army Of
fcers commendatory of Lieut.. Kings
bury were read. Each gave the lieu
tenant a most excellent record, as did
the testimony of fellow officers OF the
second, those longest acquainted speak
ing highest of the officer. Lieut.. Kings
bury entered West Point in 1866, and
graduated in 1870, and has ever been in
active service.
The testimony regarding Seg't Gle
sener was also of most faithful soldier,
alert to his duty, and deserving Of the
extra compensation from the sale in
question.
The irregularity really against Lieut..
Kingsbury is not for the sale of the
goods, but in the compensation there
from Of the sergeant.
The case has gone TO the court mar
tial for decision. What that decision is
will not be learned for some weeks, till
returned from Washington, but already
it is rendered. 1t can only be surmised
from the testimony.

Royalty Likes the Rrsusr.

A very handsome woman now sttrscss
ing attention in English society is lady
whose title would appear TO indicate that
her lineage extended back at least to the
crusaders. She is a fine figure to look
upon, her manners are faultless, her
carriage stately, her pride immense. She
is always a conspicuous figure in London
drawing rooms, and the society papers
have "a much to say OF her as though
shewere royal princess, yet she viii not
be found further back than the last edi-
ton of Burke.
She is Lady Iveagh, wife of Edward
Guinness, manufacturer of beer. 1t is "a
strange rule that in England success
full brewer is regarded with affection By
the sovereign, and may dine with her
after he has become wealthy. No other
tradesInan or manufacturer is allowed
similar privilege nor is ever ennobled---

OLD SCALE AGREED ON.
Wage Committee of the Amaiganate
Completes It's Work.

Wage Committee of the Amaiganated
Completes Its Work.
PiTTsBURG, Pa, June 1.-The annual
convention of the Amalgamated Asso-
citation of the Iron and Steel Workers
will open in this city tomorrow, and
VIII remain in session at least two
weeks. The wage committee has been
in session for three days, preparing @
scale for presentation to the conven-
ton, and from the progress made
it is safe to say there will be
no mere change in the price
of making iron. The committee has de-
cided to fix the rate for pudding al
$3.50 per ton on 2-cent card, and &C,
cents for heating and rolling in the bar
mills. The price for catching in bar
mills was placed at fve-eighths the
product. These prices are the same as
ruled during the year now closing.
This agreement is an important one
and foreshadows what might be expect
ed from the convention. This body
may of course refuse to accept the re-
port of the scale committee and may
TT. to increase the rate. That it will be
successful is regarded as out of the Ques-
ton. 1t will require two-thirds ma
iority to change the base of the scale,
viz: $3.50 per ton on the price
of bar iron on 2-cent
card rate. There will be about
$50 delegates in the convention, and it
is regarded as unlikely that 200 Will be
found to oppose the verdict of the scale

important phase of the yearly delibera-
tons.
This morning the committee took up
the guide mill scale. The rates in this
class depend on those fixed in the bar
mill, and SO no change was made. The
roughers and catchers are again agitatine
the question as to the proportion of the
product they should receive. They
now get % per cent. Of the earnings
and want 30. 1t is not likely the com
mittee will agree to this.
The committee on the steel scale is
also preparing its report. There is a
general feeling among steel workers tor q
sliding scale similar to those in vogue at
South Chicago, Joliet, and Homestead,
and. as there IS s. corresponding desire
among many manufacturers, it is

Chicago scale is interminable only on

1t is generally believed that manu-
facturers will accept the current rate for
the new year without attempting to re-
duce it. The outlook for the year IS
not particularly good, but sufficient
business is in sight to obviate any ex-
cuse for reduction on this score.

ENCOURAGING REPORTS.
Good prospects for Wheat in Minnesota
Iowa and the Dakotas.

Iowa and the Dakotas.
ST. PAUL, Mimi, May 31.-Another
heavy rain fell in this city last night,
and specials from various parts of the
state indicate that it was general and
heavy. Fuller reports from the storm
of a couple of days ago show that it did
even more good to crops than had been
estimated at the time. The two or
three heavy showers of the past week
have etfectually broken the threatened
drouth and pushed the grain and other
crops well on toward maturity. 1t is a
question whether there is any greater
acreage this year than last in Minnesota
and the Dakotas, but there is now no
doubt that the average yield will be
higher as also will be the total product.
Farmers and business men generally
are rejoicing.
Dies MONIES, Ia, May 30.-This weeks
bulletin Of the Iowa weather crop serv-
ice reports the temperature of the
week an average of six degrees below
normal. The rainfall was also light.
Special dispatches this morning indicate
that heavy rains are now falling in the
northern part of the state where most
needed. The bulletin summarizing the
month says the general weather condi-
tions affecting crops in May, 1891, COM
pare favorably with May, $780, and on
the whole the crop outlook is more
promising than at the corresponding
date last wear
