A Narrow Escape

Mrs Hand, wife of John Hand. of Ramsey Canyon, was assaulted by q Mexican on Sunday evening last. and had it not been for the approach of q team. ihs william would probably have accomplished his purpose It happened about mile from Charleston. \ rs Hand was riding horseback and when near thIcket man lumpsd from the side of the road amt seized her horse and then dragged her by brute force from the saddle. She thought at first that the object was robbery and offered him s which she had hnd also told him to take the hOrss. Fms was not his object, however. and be began pulling her away from the road into the thicket, At this she rebelled, when he drew a dirk knife and brandishIng 1t over her head threatened to kill her upless she accumpanied hlm. Even this did not frighten her and she stll resisted, when hesprocesdsd 10 drag Der and succeeded In doing so for two hundred yards. Just at this time John Houghton and wife came along in tneir buggy, and tue fellow evidently became frightened aud relaxed his grasp long enough to enable Mrs H and tO dart through the bushes and meke toward the noise of the vehi- cle.
 MT. Hou2hton saw a person coming toward the wagon and thinking the ob- iect was robberty, threw the lines 10 his wife, and picking up bis shot tguu, cooked both barrels and was ready for any emer- Rency. As she person approached nearer he saw 1t was a woman and hastened to lend her helping hand. She told her story and was taken to Charleston, where she remained during the night at Ernest Byer's.
 No news of the outrage was conveyed th the sheriff's office until last night, 24 hours after the accurrence, The oppor- tune arrival of Mir. Houghton and wife probably saved the life of the unfortu- nate woman.
 Mrs. Hand describes the wretch and also gives 8n exact description of the knife with which he sought to compel her to accompany him, Other than this there is no clue to his identity.-Pros- pector.

NATIONAL
THE SANTA CRUZ RIVER.

This well-known river so prominently identified in the history of Arizoua'l past hss peculiar feature about it not known to those abroad and which can not be grappled with and solved by strangers not posted in solving water problem which hes called to Its solution the skilled aquatic scientists of the pre- sent age. The Santa Cruz sinks from its surface river bed source a short dis tance above Tucson and resumes its flow westward to the Colorado river, through the medium of q subterraneaG channel Over this great natural sub tsrranean river are spread out millions Of acres of as fertile soil as ever the ruler of the universe granted a man to live upon. The San Joaquin valley Of California has no greater natural facili- ties to add to her greatness than the Santa Cruz valley possesses. The aid Of capital and ohe scientific work of eDgiD- eers will divert the waters from its pres ent subtecranean passage as it rolls to- ward the Colorado and distribute it skillfully and beneicially upon the many fertile acres now dormant and void of product and the transformation will be great indeed. The garden and the orchard, the vineyard and grain fields, the pasturage and lovely meadow snd from the midst of this scenery will loom up a commercial city not ancient ized but rehabilItated and modernized the city of Tucson, whose destiny has been engraved and enthusiastically pre- dicted long before present writers have tackled it. If one canal company does not convey the water another will and sleeping millions in coin will wake up to the music of 8 merry jingle in the cof fers of those who have the hsrdyhood, the business courage and sagacity to grasp and properly sustain 3 grand op pottunity when they see it.

SENATOR ALDR1CH, of Rhode Island,

SENATOR ALDRICH, of Rhode Island, recently delivered one of his calm, con- servatIvs and convincing speeches On the report of the cOmmittee which has been engaged in Investigating the effect Of the tariff on the cost of iiving and wages in this country and Great Britain. Hs began stating that the lines were more sharply drawn in the present cam paign than ever before, the Republicans tavoring B continuance of the protective tariff, and the Democrats deponncing protection ss fraud and as being un- constitutional. He gave nOt.ce that the friends Of protection proposed wag- ging aggressive warfare upon the Te- volutionary doctrines which, although
 long secretly cherished by Democratic leaders, are now for the first time open ly avowed. He then recited the Demo cratic statements - nIs-statements
 would have better expressed the idea made during the last congressional cam paign, charging that the Mckinley tariff law would result in greatly in- creaslng the cost of living in this coun- try. This charge has been completely refuted by the non-psrtisan inyestlga- ton of the senate committee, of which Mir. Aldrich was chairman, and Sen atoE Carlisle and Harris the Democrat ic members, which shows that since 1890 there has been steady decline in the cost of living ln the United States and an increase in Crest Britain, aud that st DO time ia OUT history has the earnings of ths AnsFieas psepls hees

He spoke highly of Chairman Carter and said: President HarrisoD,I believe, will car " every state that cast its electoral vote for him four years ago. He will also have the support of all the states that have been admitted to the Union since his election.

The Killing of Graham.

The coroner's jury, after deliberations yesterday, brought in the verdict that Graham came to his death by guns ia the hands of Rhodes and Tewksbury. The verdict was given in accordance with the best evidence ootainable, the facts in the case fully justified the ren- deriDg of such verdicg. None are dis appointed and none are surprised at the report.
 The body of Thomas Graham was brought to this city today for burial, accompanied by his sorrowiug wife aud little daughter, Stella. Mir. and Mrs. Melton, fasher and. mother of Mrs. Graham, Mir. Del Shay, his partner, Mrs. Arthur and Rev. Hitchcock.

 Up to last night 3964 tons of beete have been delivered at the factory this season. There were 309 tons of beets ds- lIversd at the factory yesterday"
 Dick Gird and his associates put S6C0 900 into this plant and the government has paid them 6 royalty of nearly s2OO,- 900. and judging from the velocity at winch the wheels are kept turning and the vast amount of tonnage that is be- ing worked, the projectors of this com mendable enterprise will receive a true recompense and the people in general who consume large amounts O. sugar will enjoy reduced prices.

REPUBLICAN perslstency. It has wor another great victory over the antiquat- ed ideas of moss backed Democracy and compelled majority of the house to uphold the national honor by voting for the Worlu's Fair appropriation Let no one forget that had it not been for the psrsistency of the Republican senate in damandlng that the house pass ttat appropriation, and the votes of the sclid Republican mem mberehip of that body aidei by progressive, anti Holman Democrats the exposition in which the president had by direction of congress invited the nations of the world to participate would have been crippled, if not entirely ruined, by the Democratic refusal to render it nation al financial aid.

The city council wiil meet ir special session tonight, ard as several impor- iant measures will be brought before them the attendance will undoubted y be large. Among other measures to be discussed will be an electric light fan chise aud also q scheme to confine the public women of the town to obscure quarters regardless Of tbe 750 yards limit Both of the propositions are in the main good and should receive seri- ous consideration. In the matter of granting the electric franchise, nothing should be done till the measure has been fully and freely discussed, and that proposition i've are told there are severaD adopted that promises the greatest advantage to the city. The ht tempt made on Monday night last to bind the city for given amount of years to take a fixed number of lights at a prlce winch far exceeds that paid by any other town in the terriScry ought certainly 10 fiEd no favor with the council. There Is no reason that this city should pay more for its electric lights than is paid by Phoenix or No gales. Anything that is reasonable or fair in that direction will be satisfac- tory.

 "This is to notify you that all applica- tions for space must be made before Aug. l, 1892. Applications already re- ceived call for at least twice as much space as is at our disposal. Applications received up to the close of the current month will be entitled to consideration. Allotment of space will then begin. In making such allotment the value Rni importance of each exhibit in it's rela- tion to the whole will be duly consider ed.
 "The chef end to be kept in view will be the completeness and general merit of the whole exhibit of eacn department. Exhibitors are urged to plan for the best exhibit possible rather than the largest, and to study especially economy of spacs. The artistic effect of exhibits will have much to do with their location in the building"
