ALMOST A MIRACLE.

Johnny Duff the mail rider. had started out that morning on his weekly ride from Wickenburg to La Paz. At 2:30 o'clock he was passing sloag the road in sight of Kings camp there were no trees there nothing but bristling cactus and low greasewood and he said to himself. T don't see either of the boys around. 1 wonder if they've left. Guess I'll ride over and see" On reaching the camp he left his horse aud walked ove to the we'll. Peer mg over the edge into the semi darkness, he shouted, "Hellol down there Dave saw the mans head projecting over the edge and shud- deTed, thinking the Mexlcans had returned; but the next instant he recognized Johnny's voice and call ed out, Is that you, iohnnyl For Gods sake haul me out There's a dead man here with me- No sooner said than done. Poor Dave looks again with joy on the sunshine, and 1t seems sweeter to him than ever before; and presently Johnny Duff jumps on his horse and goes on his way toward ths Colorado. while Dave starts out on foot for Wicken- 5urg, thirty five miles away m the opposite direction. It was long. weary walk without water, but il seems triile to a man who has just s,saapad a borriblo daafb
 Dave reached Wickeuburg early he next morning, and soon a party started back to raise poor Dams body, and give him more Chris tan burial; for, on tho frontier. men are brotheriy, and "I25 feet is too blamed deep for a man to be buried, " says Joe Blackwell Reach. ing the well, Creed Bryan and Joe Bls ekwell--this is history, remem- Der, and those names are we'll known iu Arizona-Creed and Joe, leaving the others to attend to Dams burial, commence to pick up" the trail o ;he two Mexican devils, and noting that it leads of to the southeast, start of in that direction in a lope' They know there is only one water ins F ce ia that direction-thc ,-o.stag oi the Hassay ampa, forty miles distant They are sure they can oyertake the fugitiyes, who, all though they are on foot, have twenty-four hours start.
 Before midnight they camp at the first water, and, sleeping a few hours, daylight finds them again in the saddle, pushing southward on the trail to Salt river. The Mexi. cans have doubtless taken that road the shortest route to Sonora but our two man hunters are n )t at ease, for they have seen no tracks of them since yesterday. Soon they are assured. They find two muskets that had evidently been thrown away hy the fugitives. No doubt they are weary, travelling afoot, without food aud with little water, and have thus frightened their loads. But they are not without arms, for they have the pistols stolen from the camp. Still, q Mexican must be pretty hard pushed to throw his gun away at any time.

The Tornado" at the Acadsmy OF
Music on Saturday night was dismissed
at 1880 o'ciock-exactly two and
quarter hours later than it should have
been.
The play gets its name from tor

which is rather cleverly produced with
the aid of a dozen or so pieces of wire
clothssline. The rest Of the play was
so dull and unin interesting aud so poorly

derfully bad to be hissed at by S;ran
ton galleryites, for as rule they are
the most patient and easily pleased of
critics.
Mr.. Carter's play can never succeed
so long as it is handicapped by the bril-
liant galaxy of actors and actresses that
produced "The Tornado" Saturday
night The bad, naughty. scbeming
villain was played by an amateur
named George T. Mech. who has made
n good success in thinking parts" in
Sunday school charades. Mr., MseCh
has few qualities of the stage villain,
but not all. He has black mustache
and wears a crush hat, also good reg
ulation stage scowl at divers times.
But Mr.. Mech forgets to tap the stage
with his shoe at that point OF the drama
where his plans are frustrated by tbs
hero. After several years practice Mr.
Mech will undoubtedly make good
actor for private thsstricals, and then
if he continues to play one night
stands he will be fully qualified to do
soubrstte roles il the malo drama.
The part of Bridget O'Raffsrty, the
possessor Of bad cold, red wig and
a daughter of 81 years, made up 30
look as if she were IS, was played by
Miss May Graham. 1t was delicious
bit of comedy work, aud was Taptur-
ously applauded by two little boys In
the third row of the gallery, who were
visiting the theatre for the first time.
The other members of the company
were amateurs. recently graduated
from school of acting and were nat
urally rather timld and nervous.
The real hits of the evening were
made by the wind artist and thunder
generator. THE TRIBUNE cannot give
the names Of these young men as they

The action Of the board Of officers Of
the Scranton City guards, at their
meeting, to organizs new regimental
board OF officers consisting Of all the
commissioned officers of the regiment
sas not only commendable. but just. and
wise. just why the officers of the
field and staff and Companies A, B, c,

past sixteen years. every quarter aud
transact business in the interest OF the
entire regiment, while the officers OF
Companies E f G and H, hAvs hal
NJ voice or Xnr'ssiO1 tr,ths matter is,
be ond all comprehension.
The latter IUur companies have as
much interest vt stake in the prosperity
and government Of the regiment as
have the four former companies, Aud
it is but Just and fair that they shoull
have voice in the selection Of officers
and committees aud in the transaction
of all business pertaining to the gov
ernment Of the regiment On the other
hand, it is neither just nor fair that
Companies A, B, @ and D should bear,
as they have in all these years. the
burden of the expense for the mainten-
ance Of the general affairs of the regl.
ment Every company should share alike
the expense Of the regiment as we'll as
its glories and achievements. Under
the new regime of board of officers of

for another term at its election on
