Sad Death.

About noon Wednesday, Jas. Pendergast
an employee of the T., A. A. d N. M. Ry.
received dispatch from Columbus, Ohio
notifying him that his son, Eugene, very
bright young man % years of age, had been
killed by the cars on the Columbus q Ackron
road. Mr. Pendergast left Thursday foi
Toledo to meet the remains, which were
being brought home in charge of Thos.
Schede, an Owosso boy. The particulars of
the sad affair are that Eugene was doing his
work as brakeman while the cars were
switching, that he was running along be-
tween the cars to pull cOupling-pin when
he stepped into hole throwing him down,
the entire train passing over him, cutting
him up i'm a fearful manner. Mr.. Pender-
gast is very highly spoken of by all his
acquaintances. His parents, brothers and
sisters have the sympathy of the community
i'm their afllction.

Street Railway.

At last the cars are running. OwossC
and Corunna are united by another tie.
What will the harvest be?
The motors for the street railway line ar
rived Saturday and were put in use Monday
several trips being made between the two
cities. The motors are run in charge of G.
T. Healy, of Detroit the inventor and are a
success, much more so we think than the
Trollery system; but little noise is made,
there is not, so far, smoke enough to be
troublesome and after short time the
cars will frighten but few horses. We'd
nesday morning by invitation Of Supt
Waters large delegation of our citizens
enjoyed ride to CorlInna and return. The
trip was made without an accident, the
cars running smoothly, making good time.
The X. p. band furnished music for the
occasion. In the afternoon the Corunna
business men returned the compliment, in
vsding the city headed by Wixom's band.
No running schedule has yet been adopted.

The Deadly Revolver.

Murder continues to an alarming extent throughout New Mexico, and here in Bernalillo county, at Gallup, the crack of the deadly revolver rings out in the cold air and a mans life IS taken.
 Last night at 10:45 o'clock, P. w. Ryan, one of Conductor Fowler's brakemen, and Charles Moody, switchman in the Atlantic & Pacific yards at Gallup, met in the German saloon and quarreled over woman, supposed to be lady visiting with Mrs. Ryan. The quarrel was very bitter and finally the two men clinched. Ryan, being the most powerful, was getting the best of the fight. when Moody pulled out his revolver and placing the muzzle of the deadly weapon to the left breast of his antagonist fired, the ball passing through the heart and the victim fell to the floor a lifeless corpse.
 Another account is to the effect that the men met in the saloon and agreed to spar each other with the gloves. Moody proved the supe- rior in point of science.and of course touched up Ryan pretty lively. Both men had a grudge of some months standing against each other, and Ryan, seeing that M cody was better boxer but not so strong in a rough and tumble fight, left the saloon, swearing that ne would lick Moody every day he staid in Gal lup; and it is stated made a threat that he would go and get his pistol and kill Moody. Finally he re- turned to the saloon, this time bent on trouble, and the men were soon at it again. In the fight Ryan was getting the best of it, when the fa- tai shot was fired. After the shoot ing, Moody surrendered himself to Officer Heine, and will probably be brought to this city this evening, provided he is not discharged at the preliminary hearing to-day at Gallup.
 Ryan was a married man, and was always regarded as a very peacefully-inclined railroader. It is positive fact that the quarrel and subsequent killing was the re- suit oyer a woman. Both men are well-known to all the railroaders on the Atlantic & Pacific, especially to those working on the road west from Gallup.-Albuquerque Citizen.

The works of the South San Francisco Land and Improvement Company at Baden are rapidly ap- preaching completion.
 The main buildings are already roofed and a new ferry-slip has just been completed. All the grading on the streets has been finished and the contractor and all his men have been withdrawn.
 The laying of the tracks from the junction at Twelve-mile house to Magnolia avenue have been com menced, and is progressing at the rate of a mile day. It is thought that San Bruno station will be reached early next week, and after the junction at that station is made all of the way trains of the South ern Pacific will pass through Baden instead of direct as heretofore.-S.

Boundary News.

A correspondent of the El Paso Times writes from Deming regard ing the boundary survey, in the course of which he says:
 Col. Barlow, chief in charge of the United States boundary com mission, now surveying and placing the monuments along the interna- tional line, left here this morning, accompanied by his family, for the camp of the commission, to thor oughly investigate the work being done, and also to incidentally SUD- ply the members with their pay for the last month. Col. Barlow is en- thusiastic at the speed being made in the survey of the line, and esti- mates that several months will be gained on the original calculations as to the time necessary to complete the operations. As mentioned in the Times some days since, serious trouble is being experienced in the vicinity of Nogales, Arizona, and when the final lines are run, a large portion of territory will be found to be in dispute. The officers of the commission are extremely reticent in regard to the error discovered, and it is simply impossible to ob- tain any definite information. Tie camp is at present pitched in the immediate vicinity of Carizellllo Springs-that is, the camp of the detail placing the monuments, and the complete survey has been made and approved to that point. The survey detail IS operating in the neighborhoud of Nogales.

Simple Facts.

In the course of his speech at Phenix on Saturday night. Mark Smith had few words to say re- garding the funding bill, which caused so much discussion a few months ago and called forth the boomerang from G. W. Cheyney, known as "the open letter"
 "The Territory of Arizona" said Mr. Smith, finding itself hopeless ly in debt, passed what is known as the Arizona Funding Bill. That came up in Congress, for the bonds could not be sold, as it was alleged, without congressional legislation. The bill came back, the bonds were issued, and not sale could be made on them. The legislature met again and passed another bill, making the interest and the principal payable in gold coin. Your statute shows it, and when the legislature so made it, there was not one single, solitary paper or individual Tn the territory of Arizona that eyer raised one single, solitary whisper against it. It was never mentioned except in praise of the legislature that pass ed it.
 "The bill came up to me from the loan commissioners here. and it came supported by the board of supervisors of nearly every county in the territory of Arizona, asking me to aid all I could to pass it. When I got on the floor with the bill, the record shows that I then and there consented to strike out the words gold coin' and inserted the words in lieu thereof, lawful money of the United States, and that bill was so passed in the House, and subsequently, was passed through the Senate.
 'The records show these facts. Now, what is the trouble with it.? Nothing; and what the enemies of the people say about it, is simply falsehood, and the advantage they expect to derive from its reiteration, is only to use that simple falsehood. It is nothing else, no matter who tells it. Look at your statutes. ."- Prospector.

What Makes a Solid South.

The following paragraph from the National Republican, published at Washington City in the shadow of the White House, shows the pur- pose of the Republican party. The paragraph reads as follows:
 We, the Republican party, will never rest satisfied until the South shall have repealed the laws against intermarriage of the whites and blacks until the South shall throw open her schools to whites and blacks who shall be taught under the same roof and by the same teacher.
 How a man can vote for and with a party that advocates the above is d puzzle to us. It seems he wou Id have to forget father, mother, sister, brother, friends and country to do it. The South will resent all at tempts to degrade her people. The above declaration and the Force bill is enough to make the South solid, and to alarm the North, East and West. When party threatens to destroy civil liberty in a large section of the government, and force the superior race to mix up with the inferior race it is time to trust that party no more. If we would maintain republican form of government, such as our fore fathers bequathed to us we must get in power. Is party to be trusted with power in high or low places, who advocates the measures that the republican party does.

TIE Record tries very hard to

THE Record tries very hard to create the impression that there are dissensions in the Democratic ranks of this county. On the 9th of No vember it will be convinced that 1t has been trying to deceive the peo- pie, and will find tha: the old party was never more harmonious. From accounts from almost every pre- cinct in the county, we confidently believe the Democratic ticket will be elected by larger majority than has ever before been given. We do not believe there are over three pre- cincts in the county the Republi- cans have any show of carrying. When the votes are counted on next Tuesday our prediction will be veri- fled.

IT is poor policy to trade off a true and faithful servant for an un- tried one. No thorough-going busl- ness man was eyer known to be guilty of such folly. What holds good in business is good in politics. Judge Mcdonald, Wm. Morgan, W. H. Gibbons, T. s. Bunch and Chas. Jarvis have proven their trust worthiness. That being the case it would be worse than folly to change them for untried men. The rest of the county ticket which were se- lected by the Democratic party ;.t Winslow, are men we'll known in the county and whose reputation for honesty and probity is a sufi- cient guarantee that they will prove as trustworthy as those who have been tried. If the voters of the county do not elect the entire tick ct, they will regret their mistake for the next two years as they have for the past two. We believe our peo- pie are too intelligent and too ob- serving to make the same mistake ftyioo

That was a fine retort of Mark Smith when replying to Mickey Stewards reference to wild cat banks. Mark said that he was n ot now, nor never had been a banker, but inas- much as Mickey had some experi- ence in that line he ought to know something about those kind of banks. This was home thrust, as Mickey, not many months ago, started a bank in Flagstaff without a dollar of capital and after he had secured large deposits failed, with out paying the depositors a.penny. That is wild cat banking, and Mick ey knows it.-Star.

The Wolfey holdover legislature was without qualification the most outrageously expensive eyer con- vened in Arizona. The legislative council of that body capped the climax in overriding the law and the will of the people, in assuming to confirm Wolfey's appointees to office. After the expense of the work of that holdover legislature it was supposed all of them had re- tired to the shades of obscurity, but what do we find in the present cam paign? 4Volfey is in the saddle with Bob Paul and his coterie of followers whooping it up, and the Wolaey holdover councilmen in the procession. Hardy, of Mohave :; Darlington, of Yuma; Doran, Of Phenix; Smith, of Maricopa, and Cheyney, of Cochise, are candidates for the council. How did it happen that these holdoyers were all nom- mated by the republicans of their respective counties? Does it mean another Wolfiey conspiracy against the people? It looks much like it.. It looks much like another fraudu- lent legislature. There is jobbery ahead. Every one of these citizens ought to be allowed to remain at home, ard they will.-Star.

A Novel Wager.

Anovel, unique and original wager is said to have been made recently between ex.Chief Justice Wright and J. c. Herndon. While both of them are unhinching and uncom- promising Missouri Democrats, the latter has some doubts about the election of the stuffed prophet, and laid a wager on Harrison's election, The conditions are, that after due notice to the public to witness it, the loser is to stand at the head of the stairs on the porch surrounding the Bank of Arizona, and the win ner, by the application of the toe of his boot to the anatomy of the other, where it will do the most good, is to boot him to the foot of the stairs, to the tune of Down in Dixie," by the Band. The ceremony will no doubt attract a large open air concert.-Journal- Miner.
