DISTINGUISHED VISITORS !,
Quaker City Capitalists in

The Proposed Line of the Santa Fe
Prescott g. Phoenix Railroad
Thoroughly Inspected.

]. N. Strong and Henry A. Fry OF
Philadelphia, came in last night in
company with Ex-Gov. N. o. Murphy
from Prescott. The trip was made
over the proposed line of the Santa Fe,
Prescott & Phoenix Railroad, and the
party leisurely inspected the entire
route. Messrs. Strong and Fry are two
of the most prominent business men of
Philadelphia, Mr.. Strong being the
proprietor of the Gladstone Hotel, one
of the best known hostelries of the
Quaker city, and Mr.. Fry is whole
sale grocer, who is we'll known through
out the United States. These gentle
men are strong personal friends of Mr..
JAS A. Fleming of Phoenix, and
through him their visit to the valley is
partly due. They were very generous
in their praises of the valley and were
surprised to find Phoenix such a metro
politan city. Their sojourn may mean
a great deal as they represent capital
and are willing investors.

A Tempe Youth Lays in a Stock of
Christmas Things.


Christmas Things.
In Recorder Schwartzs repertoire
yesterday morning was a twelve year
old boy, whose home is in Tempe. He
visited Phoenix last Saturday and was
captivated by the lavish display of toys
and Christmas goods on all sides. He
had brought no money with him, but
he decided while he was hers to lay in
his holiday stock, every thing seemed 80
free and open, except the calaboose, in
which he subsequently found himself.
The recorder reasoned that the boys
understanding concerning the rights of
property was defective, that the oppor-
tunities to steal which had been placed
before him were seductive, and that al
together there were entirely mitigating
circumstances. He accordingly sent
him home after warning, which was in
effect that everything in Phoenix, in
sight or hidden, loose or tied. belonged
to somebody and had price.
Another subject was frail young
woman, who had become intoxicated
and was lodged in Jail. "Jim Crow"

Answer to an Inquiry by Phoenix

The following communication from

Office:
WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 10.
GEO S. BEALE, Phoenix, Ariz:

of your letter of the 7th inst and to advise you
in reply thereto that mail matter must not be

letters addressed to his Office are intended and
the proper delivery of mail by this depart
ment. permitting mail to be delivered in
transit Very Respectfully,
Acting First Asst, P. M. General.
The matter elicitiDg this letter arose
out of the peculiar relations between
the Phoenix Office and many of it's
patrons who also get mail at mining
camps and other post Offices, and who
sometimes while in the city found mat

GEO. PRICE SENTENCED.
An Appeal was Taken and a STAY of
Execution Granted.

Execution Granted.
The case of George Price was yester-
day called by Judge Baker, and the de-
PENDANT was sentenced to twenty days
at Yuma. An appeal was taken and a
stay of execution granted. Pending the
appeal the defendant was released on a
$500 bond. the bondsmen being Leo
Goldman, Frank Luke and Gus Hirsch-
field.
The United States law under which
Price had been convicted of adultery,
gives the court no discretion in the
matter of fixing the sentence except as
to its period. That is, the punishment
can not be fine Tor imprisonment
else where than in the penitentiary.
There was some question as to the ef-
feet of the fulfllment of the sentence
upon the defendants rights of citizen
ship, but the court is of the opinion
that his rights would be unaffected in
asmuch as the offense OF which he has
been convicted is not an infamous
crime. The usual remedy to restore
citizenship, an exercise OF the govern
or's pardoning power can not be ap-
piled as the case belongs to the federal
court, go that only pardon of Pre-
sident Cleveland could restore citizen
ship in case there be need of restora-
ton. Otherwise the prisoner could be
restored to his former status by a
presidential proclamation.
The case is similar to those in which
wholesale convictions for polygamy
were had in the federal court of Utah.

A Disastrous Fire Prevented.

About halt past two yesterday morn
ing a fire broke out in the Montgomery
building, on Washington street, in a
room over the Reception, or rather be-
tween the floor of the room and the
ceiling of the Reception. A general
confagratIon was prevented by hard
and quick work. The damage is es-
timaued at about $4,000, distributed as
follows: G. L. Montgomery. $4,000;
Little & Cameron, $1,000. The build
ing was insured for $500, the Recep.
ton for $4,000. The fire evidently
originated from an electric light wire,
as it was first discovered in the ceiling
through which the wire passes and the
rooms overhead are unoccupied.

A MISSING MAN.
His Wife Fears That He Has Been
Murdered.

Marshal Ming yesterday received a
letter from Mrs. L. E. Densmore of San
Diego. CAL, making inquiries about her
husband, who was in Phoenix when she
last heard from him. That was on
October q. He wrote her that he had
been working at place called Cotton
wood, that he was in Phoenix, on his
way to Date Greek, and that he was ar
ranging to bring her to Phoenix to
spend the winter. He had a team
which he intended to take with him to
Date Creek. At that time he had with
500, and the writer's wo1st suspicion
is that he has been murdered for his
money. 1t seems inexplicable to her
that he could be alive and neglect to
write for 30 long a time. No descrip.
tion Of Densmore is contained in the
letter except that it states that he is 43
YEAR, old. The writer says she is al
most driven crazy with fear and that
1t will greatly relieve her to know that
others are interested and taking part in
a search for her husband.

cational Methods.
The South-Side Teachers Association
had an enthusiastic meeting in Tempe
Saturday, December Is. 1t was the
second meeting this winter. The pre-
vious one having been held at Mesa.
There were twenty teachers present and
several visitors, pupils from the normal
and public school. W. A. Coy of Mesa
was chosen chairman and Miss Garlick
OF Tempe secretary.
Miss Sears gave paper on Teach
ing spelling" She spoke OF the impor-
lance and necessity of special work IN
this line. Her paper called forth a
lively discussion. The teachers pretty
we'll agreed that pupils in the west we're
deficient in this particular.
Mr.. Coy's talk on "School Manage
ment" set forth the idea of self-govern-
ment with pupils. His whole talk was
we'll received and generally agreed
with.
Miss Garlick's paper, methods of
Primary Reading" provoked a discus
sion on the much talked of word
method. The institute generally agreed
that word, alphabet and phonic meth
DDS combined worked the best results
After the noon recess Mr.. Rohr gave
an exhaustive talk on features of class
work.
Mr.. Cases talk on "Natural Meth.
DDS in Teaching" was short AID to the
point. He said that from wherever you
draw your methods and ideas, make
them your own. Let your individuality
always be prominent. Many took part
in the discussion.
Miss SIMPSONS paper 1.-THE Mexican
in our schools" showed that those who
teach this element must be original and
self-reliant, as many of the old-tried
methods fail here.
Mr.. Gilmore showed in "School Econ.
omy" how he saves time and strength
of both pupil and teacher. By well
arranged program of recitation. and
study, combining work, alternating
classes, etc., this is accom- lished.
The Spirit of School Work." by Mr.
Netherton, was we'll discussed and all
seemed to agree with him that the
greatest good for the greatest number
should be the spirit of every teacher
and pupil.
Rev. kloss being presrnt, he was
called upon and in response spoke Of
the dignity and Importance of the
teachers profession. His talk was en-
couraging and helpful.
Everyone seemed to have enjoyed 8
pleasant and profitable day. The gen.
eral opinion being that we should meet
again.
Twelve or more Of the teachers pres
ent expect to attend the territorial con
vention at Tucson during the coming
vacation.

The above is synopsis of the base
ball game at the park on Sunday in the
interest of the mid winter fair fund. 1t
will be observed that the synopsis is
short on details. but it may be said in q
general way that they were wierd and
striking. A change was made in The
REPUBLICAN nine at the eleventh hour,
which accounts in part for the discrep-
ency in the score, not that the new
players were less scientific, but those in
the original cast had arranged code OF
signals for the paralysis of the Gold
bergs. THE REPUBLICAN team was con-
fronted at the outset with important
changes in the rules of the game. For
instance, Palm Or at the bat in the third
inning hit long foul to a point loo
feet in the rear of the catcher and
sprinted himself out of breath to make
home run. He was not allowed to
score. In the second inning Branch
leisurely pursued ball over the right
field fence, under the Misrepresentation
that the batsman had struck himself
cut by violating an important rule, and
undertook to argue with the umpires
that "oyer the fence was out" ever
since balls were invented.
Buck caught liner on the end of his
fingers and imagined the rules required
the game to come to stand-still till he
got through examining the wound for
the purpose of deciding whether the
nails would come off or not.
A great deal of confusion and dispute
arose over catching balls on the first
''bound" and "crossing out" base rum
ners.
Roblas (F.) insisted that it was neees-
sary to hit the runner and disable him,
but Dunbar said, according to the new
rules, it would do Just as we'll to throw
the ball in front of him.
Lunt did good work in the box. After
he had struck out Street, Goldberg and
Winton in succession, and each had
gotten up off the plate where he sat
suddenly after tanning the air, the
strikers raised the point that no ball
had been thrown. They hadn't seen
any and they appealed to the umpires.
Those officials hadn't seen it either in
its passage, but they heard it strike the
gloves OF the catcher and they inferred
that it must in some way haYe passed
between him and Lunt. who was ad-
monished to either moderate his gait or
tie red ribbon to the ball so that the
strikers could see something to strike at.
The first four innings of the game
were we'll played and were moderately
close, the score standing 6 to in favor
OF the oldbergs. After this the interest
of The REPUBLICANS waned with 80
much rapidity that they only scored
once against thirteen for the Gold bergs
during the last three innings.
