1874. This spelling may be reasonably at
tributed to an error in copying from the
city plats at the surveyors Office The
city directories have spelled II variously
Stroughton and Stoughton. Fishers map
of the city in 1891 spelled IT Staughton, but
In 1893 Stoughton, although both were pre-
pared under the direction of Mr. Schoepf,
who now informs me that the correct spell
ling Is Staughton. Carpenter, the original
surveyor, In 1881, spelled 1t Stoughton, and
so have number of others who have pre-
pared maps of the city, but Hopkins, who
has issued the very latest map not only of
the city, but of the country surrounding the
District, spells II Staugbton.
The only excuse for the spelling Slough
ton appears to be In an unfortunate error
In preparing the Faehtz plats. That chang
ed the pronunciation, and as these plats
have been much used by real estate dealers
throughout the city, the error has grown
to large proportions, and the first presi-
dent of Columbian College has almost lost
the honorable recognition he deserves in
having the name Of the street spelled
Staughton.
There appears to be no excuse for the
wrong spelling in the way Dr. Staughton
pronounced his own name His wife long
survived him, and some of her relatives,
who knew her we'll, are still living ON
Staughton street. She always pronounced
the name as If spelled Staw-ton. This pro-
nunciation is fully corroborated by Dr. j.
Thomas Universal Prcnouncing Dictionary.
published In 1854 by Lippincott & Co. The
volume contains a short biography of the
first president of Columbian College
The proper spelling and pronunciation Of
the name Staughton street is a matter Of
special interest not only to Columbian Uni
versity and its many students past and
present, but also to the Columbian Histoyi-
cal Society, and, In fact to all persons
who desire to perpetuate the memories of
those whose lives have been so productive
of common good as to deserve special rec
ord In the names of streets, parks places
or other monuments. 1t Is OF still greater
interest to landowners upon the street, for
the legal difficulties possible in the future
with such an unsettled spelling are Of suffi-
Client Importance to lead them all to earn
estly desire to have the proper spelling es-
tablished. RESIDENT,

A POPULAR PREACHER.
Great Throngs Listened Yesterday to
Rev. II. De witt Talmage.

Two great audiences greeted Rev. T. Dc
Witt Talmage Of Brooklyn yesterday. He
preached in the morning at the Eastern
Presbyterian Church, and in the evening at
the First Presbyterian Church. On both
occasions the throngs were so great that
he was obliged to address overflow meet
irgs. The people who came to hear the
great divine In the evening were SO numer-
Gus that after the accommodations Of the
church were exhausted the waiting crowd
extended out on the sidewalk up to the
corner of 1-2 street. At the close Of the
service the well-known preacher came out
on the steps and spoke to the crowd, which
patiently awaited his appearance. In the
morning DIR. Talmage spoke In the main
auditorium on the authenticity of the
Scriptures, and in his second address to the
overflow congregation in the Sunday school
room he spoke of heaven, and expressed
the hope that ne would meet them all
there His evening discourse was on fu-
ture reunion and recognition Of friends in
the world to come. His theme at the over
flow meeting was suggested by the sur
roundings, ana he spoke Of Christ preach
ing iE the streets.

Post of Duty.

Representative Morse followed.
He fe't that it was bringing Goals to
NewCa = to attempt to address the Anti
Saloon League on the matter of intemper-
ance. The saloon was not an imaginary
foe. 1t was vigilant, active enemy.
Every year G0O00 men went down to
drunkards' graves; 800 suicides looked to
land, and 100000 men We're driven into
almshouses and jails, because of the liquor
traffic.
Are you at the post of duty?" inquired
the speaker. Then he told the story of
the reply, which the late President Gar
field Is said to have made to the surgeons
when told by them that his wound was
mortal. II shall die at the post of duty"
He also cited the case of John Quincy
Adams, the old man eloquent, who repre-
scented for sixteen years the same district
which Mr.. Morse now does, who died here
''at the post of duty" He also told the
story of the dark day which overcast New
England in 1880. The Connecticut assem-
bly, was In session. 1t became too dark
to read, and one member arising, said
Mr.. President it is clear that some mys-
FERROUS act of the providence of God is
upon us, and / move We that we do now
adjourn" A Quaker, by the name of Abra-
were face to face with the day of judg-
ment there was no better place to be
found than at the post of duty, and he
moved that the candles be brought in and
that the bill be read again. Are you at
the post of duty?" asked Mr.. Morse once
more. IF so, you are for total absti-
nence.'

Gen. Johnson is All That.

4 neat little speech of nomination was made in yesterdays convention, the whole of which IS eminently correct. It was by Charles Bowman, in nominating General Johnson for county treasurer: MR. CHAIRMAN:
 It it with feeling of pleasure and pride that present to this convention name for nomination as candidate for the office of County Treasurer, and behind the name the man; whom you all know "a man who throughout his whole life has shown himself eminently worthy of the highest honors this county has to bestow. A man who for number of years held one of the most prominent: positions of honor and trust, within the gift of the president, in this territory. A man who since he came to Arizona, has been identified with almost every enterprise tending to develop the great natural resources of our country. A man who places party fealty far above personal friendship. A man who has spent his best years laboring for the republican party. A man with un- bounded, and 1 might say, almost un- exampled integrity in his business life. \ gentleman in the best and trust sense of the word, with all its implies. A man who if elected, would discharge the duties of the office with honor to himself and credit to his party.
 "Gentlemen l would nominate this man-Royal A. Johnson, of Tucson for the office of county treasurer of Pima county.

UP AMONG THE STARS.
A New Electric Light Mast that Looks
 Far Down on the Others.

With mighty straining and strong horses and big ropes an electric light pole was raised Saturday afternoon be- side which the other masts in town are mere walking sticks. The mast is 135 feet long, and stands ten feet in the ground, or 125 feet in the air. Up there it will shed electric beams over the whole northern part of the city. It IS located at the corner of Franklin and North Meyer streets. The work was begun at o'clock, and it was expected the monster would be up and ready for business by dark. It was such an un- wleldy fellow, however, so big and so dangerous to anchor, that it did not go up so quickly as expected.
 Owing to its size tackle for its dimen- sions is not often needed in Tucson, so none was on hand. Jack Bolyn, how ever, had charge of the erection. Bolyn used to be a sailor, captain on the great lakes, and the way he could make ropes form queer knots and do mighty things was a marvel. The pole was too big to go up easily. It pulled out ap anchor once. Another time a man who had formed a half hitch around himself, was lifted over shed and ten foot adobe wall. The anchors were set more solidly, and little by little, with some trying veerlng once or twice, with great care that there should be no jar, thus pulling out the anchors again, up went the monster. The work WAS not concluded till S:30 o'clock. There it stands now, 125 feet high, almost among the stars, its lights young moons.

IN A VERY BAD FIX.
Mrs. P. Jones' Arson Case is
 Serious.
Irving to Throw All the Blame Upon Her AccompIice, w. B.
 Mackel.

Of Mrs. Jones, formerly of Nogales and Tombstone, the San Francisco Chronicle says:
 Mrs. Pauline Jones, the landlsdy at 1016 Market street, who was arrested Saturday evening for trying to burn her house at 10l6 Market street to obtain 5000 insurance money, did not seem to lack for company yesterday. Many of her friends called at the city prison to offer their sympathy and provide her with fruit. Several of them were peo ole whom she had known in Virginia, New, and in Arizona. They all ex- pressed their belief that w. B. Mackel, her fellow-prisoEer, is to bleme for urg- ing her on to the deed. Mackel, too, entertained his friends, but he did not care to speak of bis case with outsiders, after the foolish slip of the tongue in
 made the night before when be admitted that Mrs. Jones induced him to set fire
 to the house. Mrs. Jones is willing to talk, evidently with view or correcting
 several points in her confession to Detec tive Cody and Fire Marshal Towe. The more she tells her story the more she attempts to throw the blame for the crime upon her accomplice's shoulders. Last evening she stated that it was Mackel who planned and executed the whole affair even after she had protested agalnst his setting fire to the house. She said that he took her trunks away without her knowledge and that when she found that they were gone she told him to bring them back and she gave him the money to pay all expenses. Mrs. Jones asserts that when on Thursday he spoke of setting the fire she told him not to do so as she had G customer who wanted to purchase the lodging-house for SlOOO. To this Mackel replied, 'Then how will get my S100? 1 must go back to Australia. Three times l have tried to stow myself away on the steamers, but each time I was discovered and kicked off by the captain. 1 must have money enough to get home" Mrs. Jones told him, she says, that he must not endanger human lives for SlOO. It is evident that she intends to make this strong point m her defense. that MRckel set fire to the house agaInst her wishes ana orders. There seems to be another who is anxious to get Mackel of to Australia. He is Walter Gallagher, Mackel's attor- ney. Fire Marshal Towe stated that Gallagher asked him to go easy and consent to ship Mackel out of the coun- try as the best way to get rid of crimi- nal. Towe answered that he would not consent to anything of the kind so far as he was concerned. AS fact Towe said the case was out of his hands and in the hands of the law.

IMPERTIIElCE. Governor Northern Calls English Investigation
 Into LYNCHINGS DOWN SOUTH He Refers to a Few Beams in the Eyes of the English and Other
 wise Pays his Respects.
LYNCHINGS DOWN SOUTH

SAVANNAH, Ga, Sept. 11.-In reply to telegram from the New York World asking bis opinion about the coming of a commission of Englishmen to investi- gate lynching in the south, Governor Northen wired as follows:
 ''The people of this state are quite able to administer their own affairs and they are doing it in full justice to the negro as our laws and our conduct attest. We have already endured more outside interference in our local matters than we will submissively tolerate ID the future.
 "Let these kindly-disposed English men return to their own country and prevent by law the sale of vlrtuous girls to lustful men in high places; hang all such demons as Jack the Ripper; pun ish, as it deserves, the wholesale slaughter of negroes in Africa by En- glishmen who go there to steal their gold; supply necessities to prevent OAOoo uHd AoCOk AlObc hlQ SbklhcC3 WulCu are wholly unknown to the south, feed and give employment to the poor as do the people of my section; give the op pressed Irishmen the rights humanity demands; and when they shall have pulled the beam out of their own eyes they may with better grace appoint themselves committee to hunt out the mote that may be in our eyes.
 "Wbile we have irregularities in the south and the negroes are sometimes lynched, they are never slaughtered by wholesale as the Englishman sometimes destroy them. I send you by mail the law and record on these matters and I challenge not only the English com mittee on lynching in the south, but I challenge the civilized world to find bet ter. Why come on an investigation to denounce the south, just prior to the congressional elections, when We have just had a negro lynched in Kansas April 2 and another in Ohio on April 15; and when the white Poles and Hun gsrisns have recently been butchered in Pennsylvania and neg oes run out of Franklin Park, N. J., in herds? We challenge investigation by all persons who have the right to investigate these charges. But any attempt upon the part of the English, tainted by their own national crimes, to arraign us for trial must be considered as gross i'm pertinence."
