LOST AMID SW|RL|NG SAND.
A Prominent Citizen of Glen
dale Nearly Perishes.
A Party of Prospectors Caught on
Colorado Desert.
They Go Twenty-Six Hours without
Water and Find 1t by Acci-
dent just IN Time.
The story.

John D. Bliss arrived in this city yes
terday from a trip to the Colorado des-
ert. Tbs trip almost cost him his life.
Mr.. Bliss lives at Glendale. where he
has much property. Several weeks ago
he concluded to GO to some mines on the
Colorado river, W htch friend of his had
located. He took along several men
who had been at work upon his ranch,
and, after the party reached Phoenix, an
outfit was secured, and, with a native
guide, start was made for the mining
region, distant $50 miles. There
were five men in the party besides MIR.
Bliss, and the journey was made with
out incident. Upon the return, how
ever, they were caught in q sand storm,
and it was by a mere scratch that Gin
gle one OF them remains to tell the story.
They had pack animals and were all
reasonably we'll mounted. About one
half the way back, as they were slowly
toiling along over the burning desert
they were suddenly engulfed in desert
typhoon. The wind blew regular hur.
ricane. The sand was blown in sitting
clouds about them. 1t obscured the
light OF the sun, tracks were obliterated
and the whole landscape was changed.
Tho party kept struggling forward all
the time, but at last when they found
no sign of the place for which they wore
making, they discovered that they wero
Lost. They had been cropping hlindly
about, probably describing circle.
While keeping up the fight the last OF
the water WAS exhausted and a new
danger confronted them. In q few
hours, with the hot, psrching heat to-
gether with the sitting eand, their
tongues and throats began to swell, and
the first pang of desert thirst WAS ex-
perienced.
At last, however, after twenty-six
hours of suffering, which Mr.. Blss de.
scribss as the worst any man could sui
fer and live through, they stumbled, for
no other word would convey the mean
ing, upon the water course, or spring, at
which they had previously camped.
They had made just sixteen miles in
sixteen hours, it wac afterwards learned.
and had been without water twenty-six
hours. After resting and refreshing
themselves, the storm having subsidized,
the party took up the march and at
last reached their destination in safety.
The first train was taken for this city.
Mir. Bliss ia suffering from his expo
rience very much and his first visit yes
terday was with doctor. His tongue
and throat are badly swollen and it will
| be some time before he fully RECEIVERS.

WILL JOIN HANDS.
The Rival Telephone Companies
Will Consolidate at an Early Day,

For about five years the two local
telephone companies have been
anxious to amalgamate, as a
means of saving expenses, so the
officials say, and it seems that they
have agreed on a consolidation at
last. The matter has been dis
cussed for several weeks, and 1t Is
just possible that the companies
will Join hands within week or so.
There are several important points
to be decided, and one is the APP
pointment of a superintendent.
The Mutual people want their
man, l.. A. Aungst, while the Bell
Company is DESTROYS that John
Cassidy should be retained, if the
companies amalgamate. Judge
Widemann and G. o. Berger, two
large stockholders in the Mutual
Company, are absent at present,
and it may be necessary to wait
until their return before the mat
ter will be settled. At any rate
the change would not take effect
until the first of the new year.

A NEW WAR ENGINE.
Could Destroy Paris in an Hour it is
Claimed.

Paris is still engaged in talking
and specializing about NJ. Turpin's
invention of a deadly engine of
war, capable of wiping out an en-
tire army in a quarter of an hour
or go. 1t will be remembered that
few days ago three Partisan
journalists who followed NJ. Turpin
to Brussels persuaded him to give
up all the plans of his invention
for the good of France, and return
ing to Paris lodged the documents
in the War Office, greatly, it is
said, to NJ. Dupuy's relief and sat
isfaction.
Until some official report is made
on the subject NJ. Turpin's alleged
invention will doubtless remain
shrouded in mystery, but mean
while speculation is rife. People
are asking one another whether
Turpin has really invented what
he says he has, whether he actually
intended to play the traitor,
whether he is not himself woefully
mistaken as to the value of his
scheme, or whether the whole affair
ia not gigantic attempt to extort
money from the Government.
The Figaro publishes an import
ant communication from M. Fran
els Laur on the subject of M. Tur-
pins invention. ut was in prison"
says NJ. Laur, "that Turpin gave
me a glimpse of the scheme on
which he was working. He was
sufficiently explicit. Between what
am going to describe and the per-
fected apparatus there is all the
| distance which separates a mere
study from a completed plan, but
| / believe that my account contains
all the principal points"
81 have" said Turpin, applied
| to the cannon the principal of the
mitrailleuse, with absolute auto
matte loading apparatus. The
gunner is done away with, and the
| liquefed gas or other explosive is
at once my motor and my ammun-
ition. 1t is only question of
machinery, but the trouble is with
the supplies. To take my weapon
into action I want an immense
quantity of ammunition, and that
is why I need a steamer or a train
to carry all at once.
"The railways would thus be-
come line of defense and hostile
force might be inclosed in them as
| in a polygon of iron. An army on
the march would only have to put
| in it's front one of my weapons,
armored of course, to be able to ad-
vance whittier it liked with i'm
punity. 1t is a fan of fire, cover
| ing, if need be, a circle twelve kilo-
meters in diameter and sweeping
away everything before it."
4 Turpin's many-tubed cannon
| would, says NJ. Laur, discharge lit
tie shells only a few centimeters in
diameter. He seems to have start
ed from the idea of the revolver
cannons, fixed on a pivot, which
are used in the navy, but he has
found the means of loading auto
matically and keeping up a con-
tinuous and all destroying fire.
That is why he requires a steamer
or train to carry tons of ammuni-
ton.
By methodically turning the gun
every inch of a circle twelve kilo-
meters in the diameter can be
covered, and as each shell contains
an explosive, it would on touching
the ground burst and scatter de-
struction around it. Such q
weapon placed on the Opera could
destroy Paris in an hour.-New
York Exchange.

NOT VERY ENCOURAGING.
A Belief That the Buyers Of the
Wreck Will Lose Money.

The wreck of the German bark
G. n. Wilcox was sold yesterday
for s1175 to company composed OF
IF. Bowler, Fred Harrison, h. b.
Thomas, John Galloway and
others. The first bid offered was
800; it gradually climbed up
until it was knocked down at the
above figure, which is more than
the Underwriters expected. The
buyers of the wreck Immediately
chartered the steamer j. A. Cum
minis which left for the scene OF
the disaster late in the afternoon.
Three surf boats and six extra
men were taken along. The wreck
ers expect to commence work this
morning, but it is generally con-
sidered that they will not be able
to secure anything Of value, and as
q man expressed it yesterday,
"they paid eleven hundred and
seyenty-five dollars for the wreck,
and they will be lucky if they get
back eleven dollars and seventy
FIVE cents" Some additional In
formation arrived yesterday by the
schooner Haleakala, a vessel that
left here ON last Wednesday morn
ing. Her destination was kept a
nrofound secret and nothing was
known of her voyage until yester-
day morning. 1t seems that she
was chartered by several local peo-
pie who thought they would make
a small fortune by taking posses
sion of the vessel. The schooner
left here about 8 o'clock in the
morning and reached the Molokai
coast about 9 o'clock in the even
ing, after the tug Eleu and the
Iwalani left for Honolulu. Early
the following morning the captain
boarded the wreck and took pos
session of her. He secured some
blocks and the forecastle bell. He
then set sail for this port, after the
arrival of the schooner Mile Morris,
which was fastened to the wreck
at last accounts.
The Wilcox has changed her
position considerably since Wed
nesday night; she has nearly top
pied over, with her masts towards
the sea, and it is said that the
waves roll over the entire length OF
the vessel. The captain Of the
Haleakala is of the opinion that
nothing can be saved from the
wreck.
There will probably be a lega.
battle over the possession of the
wreck, as the people who chartered
the Haleakala claim ownership
while Bowler, Harrison and com
pany hold a bill of sale from thu
Underwriters. The J. A. Cummlni
will return to port on Sunday
morning if nothing happens.
The law regarding wreckage re-
quires that the sheriff shall take
possession of wrecked property
This law is for the protection o
the owners and underwriters. lr

ON Molokai, the owners and under
writer's took possession of her be
fore the police were notified, 81
that no enforcement of the law wa
necessary.

Ownership and Debt Bulletins.

Census bulletins showing the ownership
and debt in North Dakota and Washington
were issued yesterday. In North Dakota 80
per cent. of the farms are owned by the per-
sons cultivating them, and 81 per cent. own
free of incumbrance. The debt on farms
amounts to $11, 16S, ,S54, or Sc per cent OF
their value, and bears an average interest of
9.54 per cent. The debt on homes is less than
a million dollars in this State. In Washing
ton 81 per cent. of the farms ara owned by
the persons cultiyating them, and of this
number IS per cent own free of fincumbrance.
The debt on farms amounts to Sc, 966. 100, or
% per cent. of their value, subject to an aver
age interest of 9.S7 per cent. 1t is also shown
that 40 per cent. of the homes are owned by
those who occupy them, and so per cent. own
free of incumbrance. The debt on homes is
