In l its descent 1t opens a parachute, which causes 1t to come down slowly. 1 The ether is thrown out in a fine | spray, and its absorption of heat is said to lower the temperature about | 1t sufficiently to condense the vapor | and produce a limited shower.- Atlanta Constitution.
 The railroaders and other citizens 1 along the line of the A. & P. rail road, who were in Prescott on court | business connected with the strike, signed card before leaving for their l homes in which they expressed | heartfelt gratitude and thanks to i the people of Prescott for the ex- treme kindness shown them during their stay in this city and for the | many favors shown them. Some of them were strikers, while many were not, but one and all conducted themselves in way that they won the respect of all with whom they became acquainted. Even those who had no sympathy for the strike had kindly feelings only for the in- dividuals whose misfortune it was to participate in it.
 The new road, from Prescott to a junction with the Jerome. Verde aud Black Canyon road, at a point this side of the Four Mile House, has been practically completed, and the JoURNAL-MINER man took ride over it last evening. It winds around the hills east of Whipple, on an easy grade, avoiding the target grounds of Whipple and the numer- ous railroad crossings and drive along the railroad by the old route, besides being somewhat shorter. The main object, though, has been to avoid the railroad, aud not for the purpose of shortening the dis tance. 1t is through quite a scenic country, and will no doubt become the fayorite drive out of Prescott.
