Origin of Leap Year.

Their eeks reckoned real lunar months

40 b. G., instituted the Julian calendar
according to which the year has ordi
narlly 300 days, and every fourth yeal
in leap year of 366 days. lie length
OF the year was thus assumed as 36514
days, while in reality it is $50 days, )

days. This Julian style of reckoning
was so comparatively perfect that It
prevailed until the IL minutes (about|
had amounted in 1882 to O complete
daYs, when also the verDal equinox fell
upon the llth instead of 81 st Of March.
The same discrepancy occurred in the
year 80 This shifting of DAYS had
caused great disturbances by unfixing

III days should be deducted from the
Year 1857, by calling what, reckoning by
the old calendar, would be the 9Th OF

order that the displacement might not

a New Weather Theory.

Weather Observer gilmore advances
new theory of weather cause and eff
fects.
1T is based on weather from the south
ern hemisphere having its repetition in
The northern hemisphere. Thus Bra
zll's weather is repeated in the south
central states SIX months later.
Along Peru 1t vas dry; so it is along
the Lower California coast. Ecuador is
supposed to have its repetition of me-
neurological conditions in Mexico. Cal
IfornIa is expected to repeat Chilean
weather. Arizona-well, Arizona will
about correspond with Argentine. Last
Season it WAS wet in Argentine, and
they had big crop. Rain following the
belt from Argentine is ABOUT due In
Arizona IN February.
Mr.. Wetmore either confirms his
theory or names number ef coinciden-
ces. Back in 81 and 90 it WAS dry,
very dry, in Chile. In '63 and '64 there
was a drcuth in California. More e.
cent storm years have fousd repetition
alter on the northern Pacific coast.
Tidal waves and earthquakes of South
America are quoted as preceding lesser
out similar disturbances IN California
region. The season of year ago IN Ar
genuine WAS very dry. Certainly that
Arizona had unusual lack of rain last
season is but too truly realized.

Goal From San Marcial Soon.

The Sonora Coal company o. which
Col. F. h. Garcia is president, has
raised sufficient funds for working the
San MarcIal coal fields in Sonora, Mex
leo.
4 party of surveyors, under the di-
rection of Capt. NJ tyen, a Mexican en-
giaeer of note, is now making survey
for a railroad from San Marcial to some
point on the Sonora railway to connect
the mines with that road, and to be able
to ship the fuel either to Guaymas or
north to all points Accessibility rail in
Sonora and Arizona.
Another party of engineers under the
direction of @ ii. AgpIleros, a thorough
Mexican &c o'ogist and coal expert, is
also at San Marcial, upon the coaI m ca
sures locating the most favorable places
to erect pits to extract the coal.
1t appears that the company have at
last succeeded In bringing their proper
ty to practical development, and that
soon these valuable deposits will be
placed upon the market to the profit of
the company, and to the great benefit
of the consumers in Sonora, Arizona
and Cali" rnia.

CLEvELAND'S MINsTRELS.
The Singer In Red Who Surprised
Her" Audience.

I Much Of last nights minstrel per-
Torrance was excellent. All agree that
! the acrobat performance was uLex-
/ celled. Several limitations of negro
character were we'll given.
The feature of the evening was the
"wCman in red" who sang before the
curtain. She-he-the person-came
out with stately tread, yellow hair, and
d catching red dress cut eXceedlnxl y low
in the neck. Singing was begun. Ii
was fairly executed and once very
high note was reached. ''She has a
cold was commented "She will catch
her death with that low cut dress. 1t
WAS noticed that occasionally the sing
or coughed slightly.
Meanwhile another point OF dis
cussion came up. Those nearest dec
lare1 the fair parsonage was a man.
Revelations by the low cut dress led TO
the opinion that it was cut rather too
low IL sustain the character. The sing
er's hands were Kept hidden under a
bunch of rib 0ons. I'D like to see her
feet" said one, "but that dress is 100
long" Another suggested that the hips
were not d woman's. The neck was
rather large-iR fact some agreed that
1t was only a wicked decelvIrg man mas
querading in most bewitchlng and de-
ceiving attire. Back in the house the
warbler and ''her" singing were admired.
The singer sang on. One song was
through, the singer left the stage and
was recalled. The song began. High
notes had been attained and the song
was gong on swimmingly. Then at the
end of bar:
H-mm-mi
1t was a man. The throat that was
cleared as was this was no womans. 1t
sounded in fearful bass contrast to the
falsetto notes which had preceded, and
which followed. One of "her" admirers
back in the audience almost fell from
his seat. The decelVer removed his wig
as he left the stage.

MURDER FOR ROBBERY.
Graham County, Their Skulls
Crushed and Effects Plundered-A
Live Baby Near.
Star CORRESPONDENCE.


The most dastardly crime ever perpe
trated IN Graham county, Indian out
RACES not excepted, was committed yes
terday.
About 3 o'clock a mai came into Sol
omonviile aud reported to Justice Ste
gall that man, woman and child had
been murdered on the Duncan and Sol
omonville road about seven miles west
of Ash Springs and that their bodies
were lying near a four-horse wagon
which had been plundered. The JUS
tice immediately summoned number
Of men to accompany him and also DIR.
Hoefer and with several volunteers pro-
ceeded to the place designated, which is
about twenty one miles distant from
here, arriving there at ii o'clock.
The scene which met the eyes of the
party will be forever remembered. A
baby about two years old was found to
be alive with slight bruse on her head
lying on the frozen ground entirely un
covered. A young woman had been
shot twice and her body was rigid.
Near by was r man with three bullet
holes Id his body, which was yet warm.
Az axe had been used to crush their
skulls. Three animals we're found, one
of which was hitched to wagon, one
tied near by and another at large. The
child was at once made comfortable and
the bodies with the wagon aud animals
brought on here, the party arriving at
a. NJ. this morning. A trunk had teen
broken open with an axe and plundered.
The identity of the parties is not known
positively, but from letters found, evil
IDENTIFY belonging to the woman. il Is
supposed she is Mrs. Hattie Morgan,
who is en- route to Globe from New Mex
leo to join her husband.
There were no means to identify the
man, but his identity is only question
of time. John Parks, Dan Olney and
John Epley, all Of whom have had ex-
perience III trailing. went to Duncan,
twenty miles distant. to telegraph Sher

Globe, where the murdered wOman'5
husband is supposed TO be. This morn
ing at daylight they were to take the
trail. They will be kept as long As pos
sibie, and If not GAINED by friends, bur
led here. There was a theory about
Indians but it was soon exploded and
every indication points TO robbery as the
murderous motive.
