FIendish Work,

JoHNsrowN, Pa, March 3.-The pipes OF
the Crescent Pipe Line company we're torn

OF telephone poles, destroying communica-
ton, and set fire to the oil. The blazing oil
destroyed a number of bridges and much
valuable timSer.
1t IS generally believed that persons living
IN the nelghborhood, who have done work
Ior the company and claim they were not
paid, are responsible. These people have
frequently threatened to destroy the com.
pany's property.

would be required. The difference ir
 the cost of small blank between 10C
 and 1000 is but few cents for paper
 and press work after the form is up and
 on the press. The bids were for full
 sheet blank s6 per 100, half sheet s4 9
 per 100, quarter sheet S390 per 100.
 The form of these blanks lay with the
 wants of the county as to whether
 much or little went upon them. We therefore maintain that had this work
 been confined to the original 100, no complaint could have been made, but for some reason or other the county ordered 1000 each of said blanks aud it was in this increase in number that the skinning knife came up for use. The governor claimed not to know full sheet from a half sheet or that reas- enable difference in an increased order should be made, instead of standing upon the lines of his contract and ex- acting the pound of flesh. We chal- lenge any printer in Arizona to say that he can honestly afford to print 100 full sheet blanks for less than S6, or 100 half sheet blanks for less than S4 9. The trouble was not in the original bid, but ID the advantage sought to be taken by charging ten times the amount for 1000 the contract price for loo.

APRoPos of the little tilt at pens now being waged between the two leading democrats of the territory, John O. Dunbar, and Governor l.. c. Hughes, and their representatives the two lead ing democratic papers, the Phoen K Gazette and the Tucson Star, the Pnoenix end of the fight had occasion to inquire into the fiat take" now be- ing enjoyed by the Tucson end in territorial printing. With this end in view it modsstly requested permission of the territorial auditor to inspect the Star accounts, which had been allowed and paid to the governor for job work done within the last three months. This was refused and the Gazette bas mandamused him to produce them. The proprietor of the Star happens to be governor and the governor happens to have job office into which, by virtue of his said office of governor. he is run ming the territorial administration and the Gazette is i.tie curious to see how the wheels have baen greased Hence the mandamus. For the three mont5s ending Sept. 8, 1893, there ap- pears to have beer psid to our governor, for work done in his jcb office for ths territory nearly 5000, or to be exact, s936.79. We do not say that this amount has not been honestly earned, but if such is the casa the governor should not object 10 the public taking an occasional equint at his bills. Sabe?

ChICKAMAUGA GUlCh.
A Beautiful Canyon with a Tragic Tea
 dition.

A Beautiful Canyon with Tragic fra-
 dition.
 Within cannon shot of Chattanooga is a canyon of a different sort, note worthy rival of those on the Yellow stone. It is locally known as Chicka- mauga gulch, and was cut by the ''River of Death" on its way from the summits of Walden's ridge to the Ten nessee river, the''Big Spoon" as its h. dian name freely translated means. The sides of the gulch are, in places, one thousand feet high, precipitous on either hand. The little stream makes many pools, which are filled with speckled trout, and where something like valley is left bear and deer are found, within sight of city of fifty thousand people. The Cherokees were tribe singularly rich in tradi- tion, and of course so wild, gloomy and remarkable a spot was not with out its legend. The descendants of the expatriated semi-barbarians be- lieve to this day that in ages gone a great serpent made its den in the gulch, and that yearly he demanded of the red men ten of their most beauti- ful maidens as a sacriicial offering. Fearful of extermination, the demand was always complied with by the tribe amid weeping and wailing by the women. On the day before the tribute was due the serpent announced it's presence'by demoniacal hiss, and the next morning the fair ones who had been chosen to save the tribe were taken to the summit of cliff and left to be swallowed by the scaly Moloch. The wonderful gulch is as wild and primitive now as. when the Cherokees were supreme here, and once between it's rocky walls it seems impossible that nineteenth century civilizations triumphs can be seen from their tops.

A JAPANESE TIGER FIGHT.
Dangerous Sport Indulged in by Thes.
 Diminutive People.

Dangerous Sport Indulged in by These
 Diminutive People.
 The tiger is set down in trap in the center of the a1lon-allon, or great square, and is surrounded by triple or quadruple line of spearSmen, about hundred yards distant from him. When all is ready, a Javanese advances at very slow pace, to the sound of soft music, and sets fire to the trap, at the same time opening the door at the back part of the cage, which, by the way, is too narrow for the tiger to turn in. As the fire begins to singe his whiskers, he gradually backs out. The man, as soon as he has opened the door, begins walking toward the crowd at slow pace, and the slower he walks the more applause does he gain. The tiger, meanwhile, having backed out of his burning prison, is rather astonished at finding himself surrounded by hun dreds of people, each 1 ,inting a spear at him. If he is a bold t. ger Ne canters round the circle, almos+ touching the spears; finding no opening, then he re- turns to the center, fixes his eyes on one spot, and with a loud roar dashes straight at it. He is received on the spears, and though he crushes many, as if they were mere reeds, in half minute he falls dead, pierced by hundred weapons. In some instances, however, the roar and charge are too much for the Javanese, and they give way. The ''sport" then becomes rather dangerous to the spectators.

Thanksgiving Proclamation.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.-The presi- dent today issued the following Thanks giving proclamation:
 While the American people should every day remember with pride and thanksgiving the Divine goodness and mercy which has followed them since their beginning as nation, it IS fitting that one day in each year should be especially devoted to the contemplation of the blessing we have received from the hand of God, and to gratful &C., knowle5gcmcnt of hIs loving kindness.
 Wherefore l, Grover Cleveland, pres ident of the Unised States, do hereby designate and set apart Thursday the 30 day of the present month - November-as a day for Thanksgiving and praise to be kept and observed by all the people of our land. On that day let us forego our ordinary work and employments and assemble in our usual places of worship where we may recall all God has done for us, and where from the grateful hearts of our United tribute of praise and song may reach the throne of grace. Let the reunion of kindred and social meeting of friends lend generous gifts of charity for the re- lief of the poor and needy prove the sincerity of our thanksgiving.

ALL COL0RED. A Family of Five-All are
 Lynched. CHICAGO ALDERMEN FIGHT Over the Chairmanship of that Body. Midnight Burgary.
 Train Derailed.

FAYETvILLE, Tern, Nov. 4.-Early this morning on the farm of Jack Daniels, near Lynchburg, Ned Wag. goner and his son Will, and daughter Mary, and his son-in-law, Sam Mo;low were found hanging 10 a tree. All are colored, and the only cause as signed for their lynchiDg is that they are supposed to have been implicated in the numerous barnburnIngs which have taken place recently, in Moore and Lincoln counties. There is no clue as to perpetrators. Another account says, a mob of over 200, all mounted and some masked, from the west end of Moore county, did the lynchiog, and gives the name of Motlow's wife as one of the victims, instead of Wag- goner's daughter. It says Waggoner's wife was terribly whipped and given three days to leave the country. Henry Motlow and Jeff Wise, a boy of twelve years of age was in the house at the time, but did not recognize any of the lynchers. All the negroes hang ed are said to be desperate characters, and that the mob made sure of their guilt. Some of its members claim to have heard them making plans to burn the barns and houses. Ths trouble orlgiuated in the conviction of Ed Waggoner who was senterc ced to the penltentiary last year, for stealing wheat. Sam Motlow's wife last year, robbed the house of a man named Hobbs, and then burned it. Motlow was a des- parate character, and recently tired to klll-a white man.

EDlSON'S METHODS.

 out Hard Work.

out Hard Work.
 Edison's genius comes near to justi- flying that definition of the word which makes it an infinite capacity for taking pains, says the Review of Re views. Are your discoveries often brilliant munitions? Do they come to you while you are lying awake nights?' asked him.
 II never did anything worth doing by accident" he replied, ''nor did any of my inventions come indirectly through accident, except the phono- graph. No; when I have fully decided that result is worth getting l go ahead on it and make trial after trial until it comes. I have always kept strictly within the lines of commercial ly useful inventions. have never had any time to put on electrical wonders, valuable simply as novelties to catch the popular fancy" And he named in distinction some noted electricians who had made their regulations through the pyrotechnics of the pro- fesSion.
 What makes you work?" I asked, with real curiosity. What impels you to this constant, tireless struggle? You have shown that you care com paratively nothing for the money it makes, and you have no particular en- thusiasm in the attending fame"
 Il like it," he answered, after a mo- ment of puzzled expression, and then he repeated his reply several times, as if mine was proposition that had not occurred to him before. II like it. l don't know any other reason. You know some people like to collect stamps. Anything that have begun is always on my mind, and I am not easy while away from it until it is fin ished. And then l hate it.''
 Hate it?" I asked, struck by his em- phatic tones.
 "Yes," he affirmed, ''when it is all done and is a success I can't bear the sight of it. I haven't used telephone in ten years, and I would go out of my way any day to miss an incandescent light"

Three Hundred and Fifty Tramps.

SAN BERNANDINo, Cal, Nov. 3.-Three hundred and fifty tramps arrived in Colton today, on their way to New Orleans, where they expect to find work on leavees. These men come from San Francisco and vicinity. Their numbers are being augmented by accessions all along the route.
 Many of them appear to be honest. They are organized into companies, with captains and regular roll calls. The officers serve them with two meals each day, all sharing alike-when they have anything to eat. They secure food by sending delegations to the authorities of the cities through which they pass. Such delegation visited this city and were given 100 pounds of bacon, many sacks of potatoes and beans, with cof- fee, etc., which was conveyed to their camping ground in express wagons.
 The southern Pacific officials have is- sued a permit for them to ride on freight cars. Their appearance and orderly conduct enlists general sympathy and their wants are being supplied. They made stop here to secure provisions to carry them across the deserts of Arizona and New Mexico.

An Interesting Fish.

The gold fish, which is distributed over nearly all parts of the world, is one of the most interesting members of the fnny tribe. It apparently is very susceptible to atmospheric changes. and anyone who takes the trouble to note it's actions in the aquarium will be astonished to find that the beautiful little fish is true prophet in matters relating to changes in the weather. When an area of low CT temperature, with rain or snow, is approaching, the gold fish remains near the surface of the water, while if clear. sunshiny weather is expected it will almost always be found near the center of the reservoir.

THE finding of large vein of fine anthracite coal is reported from So-
 nora. It has been known for many years that anthracite coal of good quail lty exists there, but it has been sup posed that the quantity was insignifi- cant. If there is large deposit of thls coal at the point indicated, which is only short distance back of Gusymas, there should be no difficulty in laying it down at ons of our ports at a mod crate price, cheaper, in fact, than the rate at which we can get coal from the north. This would go long way to solve the fuel question in Los Ange- les. It is announced that syndicate has secured concession from the Mex ican government to work these fields, and further developments will be awaited with lnterest.-L. A. TImee.
