The Arizona sentinel., 1894-06-09

Our Village Council seem to be taking everything under consideration but that which is of vital importance to Yuma. Repeatedly has the SEN TINEL called the attention of this honorable body of City Fathers to the fact that the town has nothing in the Ilne of fire apparatus at the present time. In the whole town there are just two fire hydrants and they belong to private parties. The Council at its next meeting on July 2nd, will take up the matter of the removal of the old ceme- tsries, also fix the width of sidewalks and grade of streets, all of which Yuma needs, but what Yuma needs more than anything else and what we have for long time endeavored to impress on the minds of our city fathers is the fact that the town is sadly in need of a good fire company and the necessary concomitants to fight fire with. The members of the Council have so far ignored this mat ter, but if our city should be so un- fortunate as to be visited by a disas- trous blaze they will perhaps regret that they did not pay more attention to the advocacy ofthe SENTINEL.

&rizOna's Early Fruit.

Los Angeles has already control of the larger share of the Arizona trade, and the wholesale merchants of this city are making strong efforts to ob- tain the remainder Many Arizonans spend their summers here to avoid the almost tropical heat of their homes. The result of this Is that much money is brought into circulation, especially as Arizona is on the upgrade of pros perity, and the good fortune of that territory is an additional factor iE ln- creasing wealth here.
 The products which created wealth heretofore in that section have been cattle and minerals. This has changed. Now grain, early fruit and vegetables are Tn the lead. The very heat which is discomforting to some IS now prov ing of inestimable advantage in ripen- ing fruits earlier there than at any other point in the United States. Apricots ripen in April, grapes by the beginning of June, oranges in Sep tember, and watermelons are to be had from the end Of May until Christ mas.
 The extreme earli2ess of the grapes and apricots is a great advantage to southern Arizoua, as there is no other locality which produces those fruits in quantity as early as that. There is as yet only a limited area planted to fruits, but this is annually becoming larger, and in time will be known as the leading locality for the production of early fruits.
 The bond of friendship existing be- tween the people of Arizona and Cal ifornia is natural, health and strong; their interests are in many points mutual and identical. There can be no rivalry in a business way; and as Arizona wax fat, just so much more of the tribute will be paid by her to she lovely and entrancing climate ot southern California. As for Arizona's s winters they are second to none in the estimation of her own people.
 A large amount of California caPi- tai is invested in Arizona, and the re- turns from it will increase for many years to corae, and will benefit Los Angeles proportionately.-Los An geles Times

Ding Dong Charley.

Gases of mistaken identity are rare- ly pleasant, but peculiarly distress ing one quite recently took place in this city 4 few days ago a we'll known business man, who is greatly addicted to duck shooting, in his perambulations of San Pablo marsh, met copgenial friend whose face is familiar to frequenters of Pine street. The two, after a splendid days sport, returned to this city. On reaching the slips on this side, the merchant, on the fullness of his cordiality, in vited his companion to dinner at his home, on-street. The cOngenial companion demurred. Being man sastidious s5oat his dress, he feared

to present himself to the family of his friend clothed in the rough garb of the hunter and bearing the miry evidence of the chase. The objections were quickly overruled by the merchant. "You can use the bathroom at my house," said he, "and than 1 can lend you clean shirt, so you will he fixed all right" This was satisfactory, and so the twain wended their way to the abode of the entertainer. On their arrival there the sportman was at once shown to the bathroom. Mean while the young wife of the merchant was totally unaware that stranger had been brought into the house, and as she happened to pass the bathroom door she saw light, and very natural ly thought that her husband was with in. Accordingly, without ceremony, pushed upon the door and went in. The sportman had divested himself of everything in the shape of clothing except his-welI we must say it. except his shirt, and he was engaged at that very moment in the somewhat ungraceful but necessary act of draw ing that garment over his head. His face was entirely concealed, and the lady, still thinking that "Hubby" stood before her, stretched out her hand, with a graceful swaying motion and laughingly said: Ding-Dongl Ding-Dongl Charles, supper is ready" The touch and the words nearly petri6ed the sportsman. The fair wife, wholly unconscious of the awkward mistake she had made, danced down stairs and into the sit ting-room and there sat her liege lord.
 "Why, I thought you were in the bath room," she exclaimed.
 "No, but I have friend there who is to take tea with us; so hurry up, my pet, and have an extra plate laid," was the reply.
 The awful and naked truth was too much for the mortified wife, and gasp ing cut, "I can't stay for dinner-Pve a call to make," she dashed from the room. The astonished husband, af- ter endeavoring in vain to find an explanation of the wife's strange action, went musingly up stairs after his guest. In the bathroom fresh surprise awaited him, for the room was empty The abashed sportsman had donned his clothes in hurry and silently stole away.
 The merchant, having since learned of the joke. rather enjoys it, but it would not be prudent thing to whistle "Ding Dong Charley" to that sportsman while he has a shotgun over his shoulder Ex.

INSANITY LAW VOID.
The Minnesota Supreme Court Declare
1T ITncnustitutfonai

The Minnesota Supreme Court Declares
1t Unconstitutional.
ST. PAUL, Jan. 29.-Mrs. Blaisdell will
remain outside the Fergus Falls insane
asylum and Frank Hoskins will go free.
This is one result of decision handed
down by the supreme court, hold
ing that the law passed last winter
regulating the commitment of insane
persons to the asylum is invalid be-
cause in violation of section IA of the
United States constitution and also of
that section of the state constitution
which provides that no person shall be
deprived of life, liberty or property
without due process Of law. Another
result is that 470 patients, at least, who
have been committed to the state asy-
lums under the new law passed last
winter can, if their friends SO elect, be
taken from the asylums on writs of ha-
beas corpus and returned to the coun-
ties from which they were sent for a
second trial and recommitment, and all
this at the expense of the state. Still
another effect is that in all probability
the friends of some of the patients could
sue the superintendent of the insane
asylums for damages on account of false
imprisonment.

Thursday, Jan. rs.

The senate session was uneventf0l. The
Hawaiian question, Carlisle's bonds issue
and the federal elections bill occupied the
| time until o'clock. After that eulogies
were delivered upon j. Logan Chapman of
Michigan
Only one amendment to the tariff bill of
Importance was adopted by the house dur
ing the day-that repeating the reciprocity
clause of the Mckinley law The entire
day was consumed by the New York Dem
ocrats who were flibustering against the
income tax proposition, which they feared
would be offered along with other fea-
lures of the internal revenue bill as an
amendment to the Wilson bill Several
Democratic speeches severely criticising
the bill were delivered. A caucus was
finally agreed on as the best way to settle
the matter.
At the Democratic caucus a resolution
was carried that the internal revenue bill
and the income tax be added as an amend
ment to the Wilson BILL The time for de-
bate on the tariff bill was extended three
days, to give time for the discussion of the
income tax.

HENRY GEORGES SCHEME.
A Single Tax Amendment VIII Be offered
to the Tariff Bill.

4 Single Tax Amendment VIII Be offered
to the Tariff Bill.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-The feature
of the debate upon the Wilson bill that
has been most surprising is the unex-
pectedly strong sentiment in the direc-
ton of free trade and single tax theories
developed among the Democrats of the
West and South. Representative
Breckenridge Of Kentucky called atten-
ton in one of his speeches to the tenden-
cies in these directions manifested
throughout the thorough and diversi fed
threshing of economic principles which
has been In progress since the revenue
measure with income tax accessory came
before the house. The whole drift of
politics, as he saw II, was back
toward the system of direct taxa
tion, enforced in earlier stages of
this government. In different spirit
spoke Representative Hendricks of New
York, representative of the more con-
servative Eastern element of his party,
who, while admitting the current which
Mr.. Breckinrldge commented upon, was
unable to believe that the Democratic
party could be going over bodily to what
he called the socialistic school of Tom
johnson.
The Single Tax an Issue.
It has remained for Representative
Mcguire of California to bring forward
the most farreaching proposition placed
before the house. For the first time
congress will be brought face to face
and placed on record upon the
single land tax scheme of which
Henry George is the author.
Mr.. Mcguire has drawn up
with great care and study bill which
gives effect to the single tax theories,
and he will propose it at the proper
time as substitute for the income tax
to the Wilson bill. This bill levies
direct tax Of $62, ,62S, $50 upon the value
Of all land, exclusive of improvements
thereon, in the states and territories.
It provides for collection by collectors
and assessors for each state and terri
tory, to be appointed by the
president, or that states shall col
lect the taxes themselves and turn
them over to the treasurer of the
United States, retaining 10 per cent of
the proceeds. Mortgages on real estate
are to be treated as an interest in the
land, and the tax on the proportion of
value represented by the amount due
from the mortgage shall be a primary
charge against mortgages, but will con-
-etitute q. lien on the land, to satisfy
ch it may be sold.

Saturday. Jan. a7.
The senate was not in session.

The tariff debate was concluded tonight,
so far as it relates to the customs sched-
ules. The time for offering amendments
ceased at $50, when the house took re-
cess. There was great demand from
both sides of the house for recognition for
the purpose of offering amendments, but
Mr.. Wilson had the floor, and not one of
them got in. At least 100 amendments
were shut out. A series of amendments
to the metal schedule, all making reduc-
tions, were agreed to, and the committee
reversed its action of a week ago and fixed
the time for free wool to go into effect on
Aug. 2 and the weolen goods to go into eff
feet Dec. 2. This was accomplished by
change of front on the part of the Repub-
icans, who voted on the former occasion
to have free wool go into effect immed-
lately upon the passage of the bill.

Monday. Jan. 90.

The general debate on the internal rev.
enue feature of the tariff bill began in the
house, but only one sensational speech
was made during the day, that of Mr..
Covert (Dem., n. " who announced his
unalterable opposition to the entire bill,
because, in his opinion, it was framed to
compel the incorporation of new tax.
Messrs. McMillin of Tennessee and Hall OF
Kansas only presented the arguments in
favor of the imposition of such tax.
The Hawaiian controversy and the fed
eral election bill occupied the time of the
senate. Senator Teller of Colorado argued
in favor cf the annexation of Hawaii. The
Hawaiian resolution went over and will
doubtless be again discussed at length be-
fore vote is reached

| or the Nine Inmates Of the Insane De-
partment Of the Boone County Poor
House Eight Were Cremated--A De-
fective Flue Caused the Fire.
BOONE. Ia, Jan. 24.-The building on
the Boone county poor farm, in which
the incurably insane were confined, was
burned at 10 a, m, and eight of the nine
inmates were burned to death.
Boone, Ia, Jan. 25.-It is now GER
tain that the fre in the county insane
hospital here, in which eight lives were
lost, resulted from defect in the fur
mace as there were no stoves in any of
the rooms and great care was exercised
that no matches should be allowed in
the building. The poor farm, on which
the insane hospital was located, is seven
miles from this city, and word concern
ing the disaster did not reach here until
10 In the morning. The building burned
was an old e-story frame structure,
which was as dry as tinder. To add to
the inflammable nature of the place
many of the partitions
Were Padded With Cotton
and some of the bed clothing was of cot
ton batting three inches thick. This
was because only the incurably insane,
who had been returned from the state
asylum, were kept there. These pa
tients were nearly all violent and the
great amount of cotton padding was

furnace which was last summer con-
demned by local expert as unsafe, but
no attention had apparently been paid to
his warning and the fire undoubtedly
resulted from neglect to replace the fur
mace with a better one. Mr.. Holcomb,

only inmate who escaped from the
building. He was in the main building,
the ''craZy" house. When he got out of
doors the flames were
Bursting From All the Windows
of the frame structure, and it was a
mass of flames inside. He burst open a
door, but was driven back ty the flames
which, in few moments, burned the
building to the ground. The main
building was saved by pouring on water
which the heat of the fire melted from
huge snowdrift alongside the building.
No one saw the eight people who were
burned to death, and whether they made
any effort to escape can never be known.
There seems to have been no attendant
of any kind in the building where the
insane people were locked.

Judge Dundy, of the Federal Court at
Omaha, Orders a Reduction In Wages
and Enjoins the Men From striking-A
Carefully Prepared Schedule.
OMAHA, Jan. 2S.-Union Pacific en-
ployes were stirred to their utmost
depths during the day when the order
of Judge Dundy reducing wages on the
system was made public.
All employees in every department are
affected by the cut, which amounts to
nearly 10 per cent. The action of the
court was not altogether surprise, al-
though most of the men thought the
wage question would not be disturbed,
but Judge Dundy went his brothers on
the federal bench one better, and not
only enjoined the men from striking,
but cut their pay and
Ordered Them to Work
on at the reduced pay. The proposed
schedule does not change the rate of
pay on the Nebraska, Kansas and Col
orada divisions except on Eight eight
wheel engines. By the proposed sched-
ule the wages paid engineers, iremen,
hostlers and wipers will be reduced S-5
of cent per mile and the wages, 8 1-2
cents per mile, will be in excess of that
paid by any of the 81 roads mentioned
in the enclosed statement, except the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas and Great
Northern. In Nebraska on trainmen
the cut is So to So per month, con-
ductors suffering least, and brakemen
most. W hen the amount of the reduc-
ton cannot be taken from a monthly
salary, reduction LII mileage allowance
is made sufficient to cover the equlva-
lent of
The Cut or Stated Salaries.
On all but three divisions or districts,
the sixth Wyoming district, the Sho-
shone and Nampa mixed trains and the
Nebraska passenger division, the cut on
trainmen runs as klgh as in Nebraska,
and OH some OF the mountain divisions
tho reduction in mileage will amount to
considerable more than the So to $15 per
month.
The schedule is very carefully pre-
pared, covering everything that could
be considered pol 1tion of brakeman
or conductors work, and specifying
what he shall receive for the same. In
tho railroad history of America this new
schedule of the Union Pacific will un-
doubtedly stand as one of the most
carefully prepared documents ever pre-
sented to federal judge and designed
by q railroad company to tide it over
rapidly decreasing earnings.

Recent discoveries in Egypt and Chal-

years befole the Christian era. they dc
not constitute the limit Of our sources

more ancient remains than have been

An Oficial of The Brotherhood of Train
men Gives His View of 1t.
GALEsBURG, Ills, Jan. 30.-In speak
ing of Judge Dundy's order restraining
the men of the Union Pacific railroad
from striking, First Vice Grand Master
Morrissey OF the Brotherhood Of Rail-
way Trainmen, in the absence of Grand
Master Wilkinson, had the following
to say:
81 do not see how any legal attempt
to restrain men from quitting work in a
a body, or striking, can succeed. We
rather expected this Union Pacific in
junction. 1t followed that of Judge
Jenkins on the Northern Pacific. The
committee on labor in the house of rep
resentatives has given us assurance that
it will investigate
The Jenkins Injunction
and if in granting this he exceeded his
authority, it would take steps for his
impeachment. If these injunctions
hold, they deprive workingmen of every
vestige of personal liberty. They will
virtually destroy labor organizations
leave the members at the mercy of en-
ployers. AS for the Union Pacific mat
ter, we will not take action until the
men, through their grievance commit
tees, have made their appeals and laid
their side of the case before the receiv-
ers. 1t is possible the receivers may
make concessions before the reduced
schedule takes effect"

MITCHELL WAS A MARK.
The English Pugilist Knocked Out In
Three Rounds.

JACKSONVILLE, Jan. 25.-For the first
time since he has been acknowledged
head of the pugilistic fraternity of the
world, James j. Corbett has defended
with success the title which he won by
defeating his predecessor, John L. Sui
livan. Pitted against the boasted ex-
ponent Of the manly art in England,
Americas brawny representative has
proven his fitness for the place of honor
which his sinews and muscles won for
him and the tail of the British lion has
been severely stepped upon by the foot
of the mighty bruiser from the West.
It was all Corbett's battle, thongh
Mitchell made show in the first round.
The fight lasted but three rounds of
three minutes each, Mitchell being COM
lletely knocked out.
