An Excuse.

The PRosPEcToE is compelled to ad- nit that it was seriously crippled in its attempt to get out q paper to-day. The action of little faction of the Reput Hear party, which pasades in Cochise county under Uncle Sam's coat tails has placed us in this position. We hope in day or two to be able to even up things with them little bit, and in the meantime ask the indul- gence of subscribers, most of whom have felt the clammy touch of this ignorant aggregation which has been clothed in . little brief authority.

Duncan Clark's Minstrels.

The performance given at the Opera House last night by Duncan Clark's Female Minstrels was witnessed by a large audience. Not a person in the audience left dissatisfied. It is a clean. clever show, anything but suggestive of vulgarity. Duncan Clark is a gen. tleman who has made life study of the show business and he now has what he considers an entertainment the people want to see. Twenty pretty women, beautiful and costly costumes, specialists, choruses, songs, dances and other features that always draw. He can return to Nebraska City next season with the assurance that he will be greeted with full house.-[Ne- braska City (Neb.) Daily Press, April 15, 1891.

Fusion.

The fusion meeting held a. the court house Saturday night accom- plished nothing. and adjourned to meet again tonight. An effort will be made to fuse but it is doubtful il an, thing will come Of it. The only just way of agreeing upon an accept able ticket is 10 renominste and elect the present city officers. They have g glarded the interests of the city and have proved by far the best public servants that Tombstone ever had. For the past two years they have done we'll: For the next two years they can do better. If the idea of fusion has for its object the welfare of the community. the renominxtion of the present city officers by both parties will, be unquestionably the most con- sistent policy.

CAUSED HER OWN DEATH,
Rose Preston, Nineteen Y ear-Old New j
seY Girl. Stabbed Herself.

Rose Preston, a Nineteen Y ear Old New Jer-
sey Girl, Stabbed Herself.
Rose Preston, aged nineteen years, who re-
sided with her parents on the Shore road near
Pleasantville, n. j., was found dead Monday
night. The body was lying across the thresh-
old of the door leading from the kitchen to the
porch at the rear Of her fathers house. Her
head, face downward, was resting in a basin Of
water. At first it was supposed that she had
committed suicide by holding her head in the
water until she had been suffocated. An ex-
animation by a physician who was called, how
ever, revealed the fact that death was due to
internal hemorrhage, caused by stab wound
in the breast.
1t lis believed that Miss Preston inflicted the
wound some time Sunday during fit Of
dependency. She forced the point OF a pair
OF scissors through her dress and corsets, in
fictIng a wound which caused her to bleed to
death.
At the time she said nothing to her parents
about what she had done, but changed her
clothing and placed wet cloth over the wound
She had apparently regretted the act, and when
her lover called on Sunday night she told him
nothing about the stabbing, although she COM
planned of feeling i'll. She told him that she
had a severe headache, and he left the house
earlier than usual.
Miss Preston then retired to her room, and
when she got up Monday morning she continued
to complain of being ill and kept to her room.
She did not tell her parents that she had made
an attempt on her life. She left her room Mon
day night after the other members Of the
family had retired. 1t is supposed that she
decided to end her sutferings by placing her
head in the basin Of water in order to suffo-
cate herself. This, however. according to the
physician. was not the cause of death.
Miss Preston an attractive young woman,
and her surroundings are said to have been
pleasant. Her family said she had been de-
spondent for some time, but from what cause
they do not know. They do not believe that
love affair had anything to do with the suicide

QUARANTINE, Sept &
To THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY,
WAsHINoroN, DC
DEAR SIR: By an order issued September
last signed by the supervising. surgeon general
of the United States marine hospital service,
Charles Foster, Secretary Of the Treasury, and
approved by the President, 1t was Or
dered that no vessel from any foreign
port carrying immigrants shall be permitted To
erter at any port Of the United States until
said vessel shall have undergone q quarantine
Of twenty days, and Of such greater number OF
days as may be fixed in each special case by
the state authorities. This circular to take
effect in Of vessels adoat at this date which
will be made the subject Of special confederation
upon due application to the Department. This
order Is directed 70 collectors OF customs, med
icnl officers Of the marine hospital service, for
eign steamship companies, state and local
boards Of health Z.
This order consider establishing an unvary-
ing rule covering the first twenty days after q
vessel carrying immigrants has reached this
port, whether such vessel has come from an
sickness on board or otherwise, viz: A quar-
antine detention of twenty days in all cases Of
vessels carrying immigrants.
In view Of the misconception in certain
quarters of my position it is appropriate for
me to say that while have expressed the opin-
ion that the order in its breadth as made
reaches beyond the authority of the federal
officials shall of course take action which
would involve loss strict quarantine than that
ordered by the President
The rule will be enforced by me strictly.
The only exception in the order is as to vessels
afioat September /, and ~ to those 1t is pro-
vided they will he made the subject Of special
consideration upon due application to the de-
part.nent.
understand from this that the Treasury De-
partment will make the necessary investigation
and will in cases deemed by it proper ones re-
lieve the quarantine officers of the twenty-day
rule established by the President desire to
say that in obedience to the Presidents
order the quarantine officers viii not assume
authority to pass any vessels coming into this
port with immigrants until twenty days deten-
ton at quarantine has been had, except in cases
where the Presidents order shall be suspended
by the Treasury Department.

A SUIT LONG THREATENED.
Indiana Republicans Say the Apportion
ment Act il Unconstitutional.

Indiana Republicans Say the AppOrtiOn-
nent Act is Unconstitutional.
The suit long threatened by the republicans
to overthrow the legislative apportionmen. of
1891 has materislized at Newcastle Ind. The
outgoing train at 3 o'clock Monday bore At
torney A. W. Wishard. who had the complaint
in his inside pocket. Mr.. Wishard got the ear
of Judge Eugene Bundy at 2 o'clock the same
afternoon, and outlined the salient features Of
the suit and the ends sought to be achieved.
The complaint asks for mandate requiring
the sheriff, clerk and auditor of Henry county
in posting notices. &C., for the approaching
election of members of the legislature to pro-
coed in compliance with the provisions Of the
act Of 1879 alleging that the act Of 1891, as also
that of 1885, is in conflict with tho constitution
and therefore void. The yoiding Of the acts Of
1855 and 1891 is asked on the grounds of unfair
and inequalities In the construction OF
Legislative districts. The matter being fully
laid before Judge Bundy, he issued writ or
dering the defendants to show cause forthwith
WIN they should not be required TO comply
with The petition Of the plaintiff. These writs
were served ON the defendants yesterday after
noon and a hearing Of the case was set for next
Thursday morning. Should Judge Bundy hold
the law unconstitutional arrangements have
been made to railroad the case before the SUI
preme court next week. and republicans are
prophesying that within two weeks the reap
portionment will have been overthrow.
