SHE SOLD THE HOUSE.
How the Widow Jones Was Induced to
 Pnrt with Her Home.

Yes" said an engineer of long e1- perience to a reporter, ''railroading is sn exciting yet an attractive life. It has its aches and pains,' but neverthe- less the goodies and sweets too, if one may put it so.
 II remember a peculiar accident that happened to me on one of my trips not long ago. To go back little. will say that one of the many sharp curves on the road is on fifty-foot hill that slopes dosvn to an old farmhouse. This house was occupied by an old woman known as the Widow Jones' She had been asked many times to sell out to the railroad. for fear that some accident would happen her and her home. But the widow had refused just as often, and things went on thus
 Well, you see, one night about 10 o'clock as we struck the curve at a good speed the engine broke from the train, left the track and went rolling down the hill The fireman jumped safely. but I was not quick enough. The next moment found the engine crashing through Widow Jones' house. with my self all mixed up in the debris. Ipicked myself up just in time to see the widow crawl out of her bed and make bee line from the house.
 Next day l knowingly smiled as read in the paper the transfer: Widow Jones to the E. RR'n

The repored decision of the su- preme court 5f the state of Michigan declaring the election of presidential cleo tors by districts unconstitutional, was slightly mixed. The supreme court of the state of Michigan decided the district election law to be cansti- tutional. The decision handed down few days ago by that court which was telegrsphed over the country de- clared the redistricting of senatorial districts by the last Republican legis- lature as being unconstitutional, The two propositions are entirely separate from each other.

The Temptation

To go out of doors in reugh weather is not strong, but we are, many of us compelled to face rough weather fre- quently. Diseases which arise from a chill are peculiar to no season of the year. This is true, therefore .heIe should be in the closet of every house. hold-what? Not an unmedicated stimulant, absolutely devoid of any thing but an excitive action, but a tonic, combining in the effective form
 of an inyigerant and an alterative, the quality of defense against changes of weather. Hostetter's Stomach Bit ters has three or four properties that no other article of it's class possesses. Not only does it relieve the complaints which it eventually cures, it fortifies the system against the bad effects of changes of temperature, fatally and
 too often shown in the deadly form of la grippe it produces a radical change in the weakened condition of a system peculiarly liable to be attacked by it, and it tends to provide against the danger resulting from an impoverish- ed condition of the blood and a dis ordered state of the liver or bowels. f

Tax on Lead Bullion.

The Mexican government proposes placing tax of I per cent ad vslorsm on the lead bullion produced by the various smelling works in the repub- lie which has heretofore been free. It seems as if such action would be a great mistake on the part of our sister republic after inviting and stimulating the removal of smelling plants from this country and the construction Of others by the absence of taxation. It would injure what is becoming one of Mexico's most important industries, not so much through the weight of this tax, but through the fear of capi- tslists that at any time the tax might be arbitrarily increased,-M. & E.

SPURRED ON BY LOVE.
For Forty Years a Man Tracks the Mur-
 derer of Ills Wife.

derer of His Wife.
 After patient, weary search extend ing over the western continent, and covering a period of nearly forty years, Charles Hartley, of oswego, N. Y., a few days ago at this point ended a period in his eventful life by arresting Allen Hartley, cousin, charged with the murder of his wife quite two score years ago, says an Ellenwood (B. O cor respondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer:
 The man arrested is an old resident of this city, having lived here nearly twelve years He served two terms as mayor and has been successful in the accumulation of a comfortable fortune. Four years ago he married well known lady of this place. Back of it is a story tinged with romance and sullied by a crime so remarkable in it's details that it furnishes chapter in criminal his tory.
 Allen Hartley is now an old man of nearly seventy. When his locks were raven and his beard was young he mar ried a charming young lady, the belle of the small interior town in New York, where both resided. Charles Hartley, the cousin, who, after such a lapse of years, eau sed the arrest of Al len, was an unsuccessful suitor. Though denied all hope by the marriage of his cousin with the girl, he still loved, and this flame, kept burning through the years, caused the tracking down and ar rest of the wife murderer.
 Thirty-nine years ago next May Hart ls.r- bod f-s sl- E- and at the same time informed them that with his wife, he was going west to seek his fortune. No one saw the couple leave the town, and finally mur- murs of something wrong increased to open gossip. Charges of foul play were freely made, but there were none to prove them, and at length they died away.
 When, later. the house in which the Hartleys had lived was being repaired and there was found in cemented vault beneath it the skeleton of Agnes Hart ley, the town went mad But the mur- derer was gone and there was no trace. Charles Hartley swore to hunt him down if it took lifetime and his for tune It required forty years of one and nearly as many thousand dollars of the other, but success has at last re- warded the long search.

THE announcement that there is a possibility of the removal of headquar ters of Arizona from Los Angeles to Santa Fe has caused a feeling of un- easiness to prevail among the settlers in this section of Arizona. The close proximity of Los Angeles to southern Arizona has always been a matter oi reorganization to those who have lived through the trying times when Apaches raided through our valleys and blighted everything in their path way. The Indian question is far'from being settled and the removal of army headquarters further away than they are at present located, is wrong that should be ventilated by the press oi this territory.

Herbert Gage shipped big lot of tools and blacksmithing outfit today to Dragoon. He and Jimmy Barrett will follow in day or two and devel- ope their properties there in a system atic manner.
 The difference in the cost of work ing ores can be conveyed ny the statement that much of the ore sent to the smelters from here pays S23 working charges while a large proPor- ton O. ore shipped from other claims is worked for sl. 50 per ton.

Prospecting the Desert.

J. c. Carrello, an old desert pros pector, tells the Los Angeles Herald that there is no danger in prospecting the Colorado desert if one knows where the water holes are. In speak ing of the death of the Breedloyes and Fish, of San Diego. he had the follow tug to say
 "0nly a few rods from where the elder Breedlove's body was found there is always running water in Rock creek. Less than two miles to the west is that beauty of streams, Palm or Cantilles creek, with its lofty palm trees, toward which he was wandering his way but worn out and famished, he fell down and died in the shadow of the great cantilles. Four miles to the north of where he died is Deer Spr ug. Six miles further northwest are ti,e famous soda and sulphur springs. Four miles still further north are the springs of the Blue Cross. All of these are on the west side of the valley, ard within easy reach of the party at any time on their trip had they known where they were.

WHAT ROBBERS MISSED
A Lump Of Gold Worth efOO,0OO Sent
 from the Mine to san Eranci.co.

from the Mine to san Francisco.
 Frontier highwaymen would have had hard time wrestling with bit of gold which arrived here by Wells, Fargo X Co.'S express a few days ago, says the San Francisco Chronicle. It came from the celebrated Harqua Hala mine, and was consigned to J. Hubbard and J. B. Bowers, the owners of that property, for coining at the United States mint. When the employees of the mint took a look at it they were astounded. The reason was that it was the biggest lump of gold they had had the unhappiness to come in contact with, seeing that it was in one respect like many others, being not their own. It was of a somewhat conical shape. and seemed to have been emptied out of | a gigantic slag pot. It did not belle its | looks. for that was the way it had been ! shaped. It was the product of forty | five days run at the Harqua Hala, and ] the tremendous bulk weighed three | hundred and fifty-seven and one-eighth | pounds avoirdupois, and was stated to | be of the value of one hundred and | twenty thousand dollars.
 The thoughtful representatives of the owners of the big nugget telegraphed from point to point as they progressed with it to the mint, sixty miles south west of Phcenix, and announced when it should arrive at the next station. This was to forestal any ambitious men with guns, for, though aspiring highwaymen were thus kept exactly posted as to when the gold might be expected, it also posted the people in each town. The nugget was too big ! for any party of bandits to carry it oil intact and secrete, and, had they stopped the caravan on the way to the railroad, they would have only had time to chisel off one thousand dollars or so till the pack of bloodhounds l which the prison officials keep at 1 Phenix would have been on their trail.
 Nobody molested it therefore and it
 reached here safely. The ponderous yellow cone has attracted much atten- l tion.

From White Hills.
Journal.

X correspondent Of the Phenix Her aid writes to his paper from White Hills some interesting facts concern ing that camp. He gives the fol low ing information which has not before been put in print:
 Judge Schaefer's two partners were John P. Birnett and John l.. Sullivan, each of whom gave him a two-year bond on their interest for S1O,0CO Sullivan, who is A worthless drunkard, merely happened to be available as laborer to assist in locating the claims and was admitted as a partner by Judge Schaefer, on the promise that he would bond his interest and ab- stain from drink. Now it transpires that Sullivan, on July 9th, signed quitclaim deed to his undivided one third interest in the properties in fay- or of Vim. H. Lake for Sl0,0O0 cash. It was claimed that he was unduly influenced while drunk to thus sign the deed after he had already given his bond, and that MT. Lake, with Messrs. Beecher, Hitchcock. Smith and others interested, are willing to compromise with the California pur- chasers, Pat Keddy, the noted min ing lawyer, came here two weeks ago 
 positive that Schaefer's title is good that he has become financially inter ested The chances that the new purchasers will compromise with the holders of the qnitclaim is probable. The latter parties, however are ready to fight, and will pu. twenty men to work Monday. A law suit is ineyi;s ble from present appearances.

A DECISION has been handed down by the supreme court of the state of California which decides point worth remembering. The plaintiff sued the Santa Fe Go. to recover the value of two horses killed in transit from Kan sas to California. The court below held it had no jurisdiction, and the supreme court affirms this decision The horses were killed in New Mexico and the company was sued Tn San Diego. It was held that the Southern California railroad has nc such relation to the A. & P, k, as to make judg- ment rendered against it satisfaction for a claim against the other road. The appellant will have to sue the road in the state where the property was lost.
