A BLACK GHOST
Looks from the Grated Win
doWs of the Jail.
Interested Officials Make an lnves-
tlgation and Allay Supersti- :,
tious Surmises.

Officials about the Jail yesterday
thought they saw a ghost and 1t re-
quired an investigation OF several
minutes to reduce the uncanny sight to
an every day and explainable affair.
Tom Greenhaw was in the Jail yard
when he was greeted from one OF the
windows with ''Say boss amt hit about
time fob me to be gIttn' out oh heah ?"
Back OF the grated window Mr..
Greenhaw saw black and strange
face. He had been about the court
house and Jail almost constantly and
had seen no such person turned in as
he saw at the window He went to
Tom Motley and he hadn't locked any
one up for several days. Under Sheriff
Barry knew nothing about any new
prisoner. Sheriff Montgomery hadn't
opened the jail door for week so the
mystery seemed pnexplicable.
The windows and walls of the build
ing were found intact, beside it APP
peared that il n man could break into
Jail those on the inside could more east
break out The thing was worth looking
into, and the under sheriff entered the
Jail. There was the strange prisoner,
not shadowy presence, but creature
OF flesh and blood. ebon SKIN and rags.
Yet there was something familiar about
the grinning "ghost." A closer inspec-
ton showed that he was Jim Robinson,
a jocular white prisoner, who had I'M
dergone transformation by the burnt
cork process. Mr.. Greenhaw gave a
snort Of disapprovsl and absented him
self from the courthouse for the rest of
the day. The other officials went into
caucus to consider the advisability of
sending Mr.. Robinson to bed without
his supper.

Base Ball.

The base ball project recently mem
toned by the REPUBLICAN, is creating
considerable interest and has elected
several inquiries on the part Of gentle
men with fondness for the national
game. Mr.. B. M. Pratt has made propo-
sition to fit up the old grou nds near Phoe-
nix park. There are several well known
amateurs in the city, many OF whom
are from other cities, but will remain
here over winter. A suggestion has
been made that an early meeting be
called to take definite action in the
~ after.

Lifting "a Railway Station.

The joint railway companies have sue
cessfully completed remarkable un-
dertaking at Frodsham station. Cheshire
Complaints have been made for years
of inadequate platform accommodation,
and finally it was decided to remove the
station masters house, booking offices
and general waiting room some six feet
back, In order to accomplish the task
without taking down the structures, ex-
cavations We're made between them I'M
til they were Supported ON large baulks
of timber. Then came the crucial point,
whether they would slide into their new
situation. Eleven powerful jacks were
brought into operation, under the super
intendence of Mr.. Johnson, the com
pany's engineer. Although the mass to
be moved weighed quite 400 tons, the
work was accomplished without hitch,
save that chimney stack, which
cracked, had to be taken down. This is
stated to be the first occasion on which
an English railway station has been sue
cessfully lifted ON the American princi-
ple.-London Letter.

Additional tests made with the new
form of coast light devised by Schirin,
Of Berlin, have proved quite satisfac-
tory. The trials, which were made on
the coast near the mouth of the Elbe,
show the light TO be brighter than either
gas or electricity, while the cost of oper-
ating is said to be very small. The APP
paratus, with all its accessories, is barely
seven feet in height and three feet in di-
ameter. and consists of blast engine
for driving air through pumice stone
inpregDated with benGine. The benzine
gas thus obtained is carried through fine
magnesium powder, and being saturated
Herewith proceeds upward through a
pipe and is consumed in small fame,
yielding light, ii is claimed, of 400, 900
candle power. The apparatus is con-
trolled by clockwork, and is inclosed in
glass to protect it from the wind and
weather. The arrangement is especially
adapted for giving an intermittent light,
the consumption Of magnesium being
small. depending ON the power of the

ARIZONA ANTIQUITIES.
The Gazette's Telegraph Is Delayed
but Finally Turns up.

but Finally Turns up.
Persons with mania for ancient his
tory were edited yesterday by an
Associated Press" dispatch from San
Francisco which appeared in the
columns OF the Gazette relative to the
Southern Pacific project OF railroad
between Prescott and Phoenix. Where
the Gazette stole the dispatch is uncer-
tain but the information contained in II
is old and reliable.
The original but more complete In
formation appeared in the local columns
Of TIE REPUBLICAN nearly two weeks
ago, and on the following day was sent
10 the San Francisco Chronicle by its
Phoenix correspondent. 1t found Its
way from the Chronicle into the Asso.
ciated Press report in an abbreviated
form though similar in language TO that
employed in the original account in
The REPUBLICAN.
In the course OF time it reached the
Gazette office in an exchange. As
before stated the information is re-
liable though trihe subsequent. IT.
publication however shows a commend
able desire on the part of the Gazette to
keep somewhere along the line.

RIGHT YOU ARE.
The Gazette Blunders Upon
the Truth,
And Proves That as a General Thing
a Republican Is a Superior
Sort of a Person.

Yesterday morning the Gazette chal-
lenged comparison between the appear
ances OF the court house and the city
hall plazas. This comparison is sup
posed to have some bearing on the
claims OF the Republican and Demo-
cratic parties to popular support next
Tuesday. Like much OF the Gazette's
campaign ammunition this sputtered
and excited ridicule.
What the Gazette probably meant to
draw from this com parison was that the
grounds Of the city hall under the con-
troll of a Democratic city council were
much better kept than those OF the
court house under the management OF
Republican board OF supervisors,
therefore as a recognized principle
Democrats were more worthy OF sup
port than Republicans.
First and foremost it may be mem
toned that the jsnitor at the city hall
is q good Republican while the court
house janitor whose work suffers by the
Gazette's comparison is an old-time
Democrat. So far the Gszette's infer
ence that the best man does the best
work is correct, and in this case at
least the best man is the Republican.
Perhaps the Gazette intends to go
back OF the personality OF the men who
actually do the work TO the bodies
which employ them. A member OF the
board Of supervisors explains this as
follows:
He said that when the present Re-
publican bosrd came into Office it found
the present janitor who had been EN-
ployed through successive terms Of
Democratic boards way back to 1877.
The Republican board was unwilling to
extend it's partisanship to the ousting
OF Democratic janitor, who had
seemed to be good enough for previous
Democratic boards OF supervisors.
Accepting the Gazette's suggestion
that the city halls Republican janitor is
more efficient than the court house
Democratic janitor the board OF super
visors expresses it's Willingness to fire
the latter and employ the former, not
because he is Republican, but because
the Gazette says he is better man.
Who besides the Gazette loco-editor-
ial writer would have thought of look
ing to to the plazas for campaign ma
/ terial?

Ai,gs.ora for the River Charles.


Aliigators are very useful beasts and
very industrious in their efforts to purify
the streams which they inhabit. They
dispose of great deal Of filth in rivers.
The suggestion that several dozen, or
even several hundred, live alligators be
imported for residence in the Charles
river is timely and fascinating. They
would of course need salt water instruc-
ton such as other graduates of fresh
water schools get at Harvard. An ALI
gator colony on our shores would lend
TO Boston a certain tropical environment
which our critics consider that we lack.
The alligatcrs could frolic picturesquely
in front Of the Embankment for the en-
tertainment of the poor; they could sport
gayly in and out under the new bridge
and they could pull up in shoal before
the Harvard boat house and teach the
crews how to yawn when they are really
tired-say after race with Yale.
If they did not survive the rigors of
our winter their skins would be eagerly
bought up in Lynn and a new lot OF
summer boarders Of their class imported
for the Charles next summer. The con-
dition of that river is no joking matter.
We might as well all die in alligators'
jaws as in the jaws of this terrible nui-
ance of foul odors and pestilence breed
ing fats. There's a great deal of work to
be done by Boston and Cambridge, and
prompt work, too, in this matter of

RETIRING FROM BUSINESS.
$4,000 Worth. of Goods for
Sale.
Dillon g. kenealy Offer Rare Bar
gains to the People of the Salt
River Valley.

After due consideration we have final
ly decided to retire from business in
the city of Phoenix. This important
step we have fully discussed. and have
arrived al the conclusion to close out
our business in this city in order that
we may be able to give our undivided
attention to our several interests in the
city and county of Los Angeles. In
closing out this business We are aware
OF the fact that we are going to sacrifice
one of the largest and best assorted
stocks of dry goods, clothing, gents
furnishing goods, shoes and hats in the
city OF Phe nix. as well as the most sue
cessful and best established concerns in
the territory Of Arizona.
During the past six months we have
had several applicants for the purchase
Of this business, but to dispose of our
large and varied stock OF goods great
sacrifice of property is Indispensable, and
we have therefore concluded that the
people OF the SaltRiver valley who have
go steadily and literally given US their
trade and patronage during the past
nine years In the city of Ph@nix are
the best entitled to whatever sacrifice
we shall be compelled to make in dis
posing of our stock OF goods. On
Thursday and Friday of this week We
shall keep our store closed in order to
remark our entire sto';k OF dry goods,
clothing, mems furnishing goods, hats
and shoes for this great closing out sale.
1t is our intention to close out our
stock as quickly as possible, therefore
every article and piece OF goods in our
store shall be marked at invoice cost in
the eastern market. This is the most
genuine closing out sale of frst-class
goods ever offered to the people of the
Salt River valley. On Saturday Oct. 20
we shall comm nce the sale OF our large
and well assorted stock which will be
continued from day to day until all the
goods are disposed Of. We respectfully
call the attention Of housekeepers,
hotel and restaurant proprietors, farm
ere, mechanics, miners and the general
public to this great sacrifice of first
class goods.
