s.Billy'' Russell, as he is affectionately
called by his Massachusetts admirers, is
said to be very much cut up at the proof
furnished by the ballots that his alleged
popularity in that State, which enabled
him to overcome a Republican majority
of $4,000, is largely moonshine. Blunders
and not popularity appear to account for
the most of his running ahead OF his ticket.
"Billy." however, ''has shown no signs
of resigning, because he was not the
choice of the people. In deed he and his
friends have adopted an attitude that
shows that what "Billy' has got is to be
held on to without regard to the manner
in which it was obtained.

MADE HIS LAST LEAP.
Bridge Jumper Meredith Stanley Prob

Bridge Jumper Meredith Stanley Prob ably Fatally Injured.
 CINCINNATI, Feb. l9.-Meredith Stan- ley, the bridge jumper, made what in all probability will prove fatal leap yesterday from the Cincinnati and Gov ingtOn bridge, a distance of over 100 feet, into the Ohio river. Only few weeks ago Stanley and his wife made a successful double leap from the Chesa- peake X Ohio bridge. Since then they have been on exhibition at dime mus cum in this city. A party few days ago raised purse of S25 which they offered to Stanley and his wife to leap from the bridge together. This morn ing Mrs. Stanley refused on account of the sum being too small and the water too cold. All knowledge of the proposed jump was confined to those who had subscribed to the purse.
 At the hour named Stanley walked out to the center of the bridge and made the leap. As he jumped he saw a piece of wood floating in the water and turn ed his body in the decent to avoid striking it. In consequence he fell on his side and when he sank into the wa ter he did not reappear very soon. When he did come up it was seen that he was hurt. A boat took him to the shore, where he was dressed and taken home. Those who subscribed to the purse were alarmed at the result and made themselves scarce without hand ing over the money. Stanley's injuries are internal and will probably result fatally,

REAL ESTATE.

He attended all of the church sociables, and soon succeeded in ingratiating him. self into the good graces of the leading people of the community. An attach ment sprang up between the stranger and Miss Hattie Church, the leader in the choir and the belle of the village. The young couple were seen together a greet deal.
 About month ago their engagement was announced. The wedding day was set and the brides elegant trousseau was almost ready when the young man suddenly disappeared.
 Miss Church was prostrated by the news, and when she informed her father that she had been basely deceiv- ed, the irate father, armed with war rant and accompanied by deputy sheriff, set out in pursuit of the tickle lover. He was finally found at Gerard, H., where, after an exciting chase, he was captured.
 The gay youth was brought back to Marissa today. When Miss Church saw her lover in irons, she burst into tears. She is willing to marry him and the wedding will likely come off soon.

TEMPE, Ariz., Feb. l9.-W. A. Kim ball of Mesa was visitor in Tempe, res- terday.

 Robt. Bowen, the genial hotel man, is having the Tempe House entirely re- modelled.
 The citizens ol Tempe are at last aroused from their lethargy and have town of some importance. They are beginning to manifest some interest in the improvement of the place. Every where much needed improvements are taking place. New houses are being built and old ones remodelled. Streets and sidewalks are being flied with gravel. and considerable hustle and energy is observed all over the town. A number of citizens, who before neg lected their yards, are now busy plant ing trees, repairing fences, and great many other needed improvements which before were not thought worth while to change. This is all very grat- flying to know that our people are be- ginning to think that Tempe is a place of importance, and taking some pride in the city by the butte. A town the size of Tempe which has four large mercan- tile houses, two hotels, a Touring mill, and two livery stables, should be taken some notice of. And when at last the Globe road is opened between Tempe and Globe, then will begin new era for the town.

Spurgeon's Successors.

PmLADELPHIA, Feb. l9.-Private dis patches from London indicate that Rev. A. c. Pierson, of this city, is very likely to succeed the late Rev. Charles Had don Spurgeon as pastor of the Taber- nacle. He has been preaching in that place since the latter's illness. Dr. Pierson was for long time pastor of the Betheny Presbyterian church in this city, popularly known as John Wanamaker's church, and is a power ful orator and profound scholar. Spur geon's congregation is but nominally Baptist, and as Dr. Pierson, although a Presbyterian, is of extremely liberal views there would be nothing in the way of his accepting the call.
