Murderer Fitzsimmons Gives the Police
 No Credit for His Capture.
 NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 3.-Fitzsimmons, the notorious Pittsburg burglar and mur- derer who was arrested in this city, says that the police of this city are not en- titled to any credit for his arrest.
 He claims to be the victim of treachery He says that some time ago he befriended & man ill Pittsburg who is now resident of this city. He, Fitzsimmons, had called on the man here and that man had betrayed him to the police in order to get a part of the reward that hung over his head.
 Fitzsimmons seems quite proud of his famous escape from the Allegheny County jail. He refuses to make any statement just at present, but would do so in the form of letter to the press later on. He consented, however, to speak in relation to the murder of Detective Gilkinson.
 He declares that at the time of the shooting he did not know the detectives who had come to his home to arrest him for the Homestead burglary, but thought they were two of a gang of Italians who were at work in the neighborbood, and that they had come to assault his wife. He thought at the time that he was simply defending the honor of his home, and says that the idea of cold-blooded murder never entered his head.

THE BOY IS SAFE
htdnappers Become Frightened amt
 turn Ward Waterbury to His Pare,

kfdnappers Become Frightened and Re-
 turn Ward Waterbury to His Parents.
 GREENWICH, Feb 3.-Little Ward
 Waterbury, who was kidnapped while on his way home from school, Monday,
 was returned to his parents at 3 o'clock this morning.
 MT Waterbury went unaccompanied to Miller's bridge at midnight last night to meet the kidnappers. He had in
 wallet which he carried S3,OOO in bank notes for the men who had stolen his child. Is was all he could raise on the short notice the child stealers had gwen him, but he was going to promise the
 men more. The kidnappers could not have named safer spot than Millers bridge for the meeting. It is secluded. being over a mile from the nearest house and the ground is open on all sides so that no one can approach it without being seen. The bridge spans small stream which empties into the Miamus river, few miles west. Many brave men would undoubtedly have hes itated about going to the bridge to meet the robbers in the dead of night, for the locality was the worst in western Con- necticut. It has been the scene of many robberies and assaults and the residents of this vicinity have a dread of it. Waterbury remained in this lonesome pldCS 1OT over du uOuT, DuC saw no sign of the robbers. They had no doubt be- came frightened at the uproar their dar- ing crime had caused aud were afraid to keep the appointment. Shortly after o'clock the distracted father started for home. He was completely broken down at his failure to recover the child.
 At three o'clock this morning the family of Mir Waterbury were aroused by knocking on the door, and were overjoyed to find their son in charge of a farmer. The boy then told the story of the kidnapping. On Monday while going home from school he was met by two men who asked him to go with them into the woods to search for an axe which they had lost. They walked long distance and at night reached a house where they had supper, after which the boy was silenced by threats and placed in bed. Last night they left the house and walked a long distance. At midnight they arrived at the house of Shadrick Close, who lives at NorthcastIe on the Harlem road. ten miles from Long Ridge. They told the boy to knock on the door and then disappeared. When the frightened child aroused the inmates and told his story he was at once driven home.
 There is no doubt but that the men after kidnapping the boy became fright ened and determined to return him un- harmed to his parents.

 Peculiar Instances of Cruelty.

Agitation in Germany Over Revelations oI
 Peculiar Instances of Cruelty.
 BERLIN, Feb. 3.-The Socialist journal ''Vorwarts," has published an order is- sued by Prince George of Soxony, to the Twelfth Army Corps, requiring the off cers to stop the inhuman treatment of the men by non-commissioned officers and the paper discusses the subject at some length
 1t mentions some cases where men were kept at the arm or knee drill till they had performed the movement nearly one instance recruit, who had become bathed in sweat in consequence of the exertion, was unable to continue
 A sergeant thereupon poured a jug of cold water over him and then thritshed him till the whip broke. The recruits legs were covered with welts and as a re- suit of the treatment he had received he had to be carried to the hospital, where he lay in a high fever.
 Sergt. Lohel fractured a mans collar bone by beating him with a rife. He afterwards tried to commit suicide, fear ing that he would be found out.
 In addition to his other cruelties Sergt Pfug compelled several of his men to chew dirty socks, and forced other re- cruits who failed to stretch their knees properly at drill to lie across two chairs in certain position. He. would then sit upon their unsupported knees until they screamed with pain, when he would have them gagged. He would also slap their faces.
 Other indignities reported to have been inflicted by him are too horrible to be mentioned.

Amongt the speakers in Tammany Hall on the Fourth of July was the Delegate to Congress from Arizona. It was the first time that delegate from that Territory had ever ad- dressed TammanY.~ He wore neg lige shirt, no waistcoat, and a thin summer suit. His hair Was close cropped and streaked with gray. He had a sandy moustache, we'll silvered. His eyes were blue and bright, and his manner nonchalant and unassuming. He seemed to have brought the hot air of Arizo- ma with him and all its freedom of manner. There was little perspira- ton on his bronzed face as he ad- dressed the warriors of Tammanv. He had a voice roughened at mass meetings in wild mountain canyons and craggy mining camps. What he said was said with vim that aroused his hearers.-NeH York Sun.

The scarcity of feeders in the south ern and eastern portions of Arizona Is causing stampede among cattle men. The over flowed portions of the Colorado Desert are being in- vestigated for feed. Lang has had nearly a thousand head of cattle near Indian Wells for some months and they are said to be doing we'll. Munk Bros. of Wilcox, are also thinking of moving some cattle to the desert. Chas. Baker will leave to-day or tomorrow also to look up feed. The feed is not so plentiful this year as last, as the overflow has not been so great. Those who are acquainted with the amount of feed on the desert now say that 5000 head of cattle would soon eat it all out. Cattlemen from distance will do we'll to look at the country personally before risking their cat tie in it.-Yuma Times.

NUMBER 4o

A few years ago it was consider ed impossible for two bodies to oc- cupY the same space at the same time. The wonderful climate of Phenix will in time solve the prob lem of how this apparent impossi- bility can be accomplished. A case is on tap there at the present time, in which one man has been proved beyond all reasonable doubt to have occupied two spaces a hundred miles apart at the same hour of the same day. The examination of Tewkesbury for the murder of Gra- ham furnishes food for thought among those who have not adopted the study of law as a profession.- Prospector.

A surprise party at funeral doe

A surprise party at funeral doe not occur very often, but party of Pima Indians had a little surprise down at the Gila river yesterday morning. One of the squaws had been very sick and finally, to all ap- pearances, died. The bucks got to work and dug a grave and had everything ready for a first class funeral with all the improvements of civilization. When they went into the tent to carry the old lady out, she was sitting up, smoking a pipe, and looked anything but a cadaver. The death party was changed into one of rejoicing, and the camp is once more in holiday attire.-Phenix Herald.
