THE MILITARY BALL.
Uniforms and Flash
 ing Diamonds.
A Large and Select Attendance-The Browning Event Of
 the Year.

Gardiner's hall never shone so re- splendent as last night. Banner and bunting streamed and hung in festoon from wall and pillar and the effect was softened by harmonious profusion of palms and evergreens. Electric lights were dlmmed by Chinese lanterns. The rim of huge shield over the stage bristled with bayonets. The tented entrance and stacks of arms suggested the character of the event. military ball. Company 5 added new lsurels to it's crown. Nothing had been left un- done by it's vigilant and active mem bers to make the ball the first social event of the season. The effort was rewarded by the highest degree of suc- cess.
 The great hall was crowded, not by the cannaille, but by the elite of the city and it transpired that the architect who had designed the building had made the big room too small. More than three hundred invitations had been issued and the crush at the opening of the ball showed that all the holders had not only accepted them, but had brought their lady friends.
 The members of the military organi- zation appeared in uniform; civilians were clad in somber black of conven. tional cut, while the ladies were radi- ant in silks, faces and diamonds.
 Beside residents ot the city, 8 large number of ladies and gentlemen were present from Tempe and adjoining towns.
 The grand march was led by Adjutant General and Mrs. Schwartz. The pro- gram of dances had been well selected and was long enough to please, but not fatigue the most tireless dancer. It may be said of the music as of the decorations, the program, the char acter of the assembly and whatever else contributed to the pleasure of the ball, it was the best that could be procured. w. H. Stroud presided at the piano, s. w. Wagner, first violin; F. Contreras. flute, and A. R. Malvido, basso.
 Much credit is due the members en masse of Company B, and also to the untiring individual efforts of Capt Wickham, Maj. Lewis, Maj. Robinson Lieut.. Pierce and Clifford Collins, s' members of the reception and floor committees.

A Pleasant Driveway.

Central avenue, the northern exten- sion of Center street, with it's we'll sprinkled, wide driveway and tall, shady cottonwoods, is the favorite route select ed by Phoenix residents when out for . short drive. From the nature of the country and the wealth and enterprise of the property owners in that direction it seems likely to be the location of the better class of residences when Phoenix shall have reached that prosperous period and for that reason to always continue popular district. The Simms addition so painstakingly laid out is but half mile out the avenue and is now attracting much attention of real estate investors.

building adjoining the postoffice build business structure was commenced yes terday. The east wall of the postoffice building will have to be torn down as it IS partition wall and is of insufficient strength to support such building as Dr. Mahoney proposes to erect.
 Among visitors to Phenix at this time is Dr. Geo. c. Atherton, president of the Pennsylvania state agricultural college, who is enjoying a years vaca- tioh. Dr. Atherton came here last tall and spent some time Investigating the Verde canal project. He afterward made tour of Mexico and has lately returned and is making close study of climatic, agricultural and other features of the Salt River valley. He is well pleased with the result of his inquiries and the valley will no doubt be greatly benefited by his report.
 It sometimes happens that it costs more to right wrong than the retrlbu- tion is worth. Yesterday Mexican called on Justice Kincaid to find out how he could land on the point of the jaw of the station keeper at Frog Tanks. He said that about month ago one of his horses died at the Tanks. He was preparing to leave his wagon at the roadside and come to town with the re- maining horse. At the suggestion Of the station keeper he put the wagon in a wagon yard. Last Monday he went after it and was confronted by bill of $2.5O and the station keeper refused and still refuses to give it up. The Mexican finds the amount so small that he is forced to pay it rather than to fight the case.

A Respite Granted a Brothers Mur-
 derer.
 TRENTON, N. J., March 29.-Charles Bergermann, sentenced to be hung at Morristown today, has been reprieved by Governor Vert until April 26. This action was caused by the failure of the court of pardons to meet. The court of pardons is composed of the lay members of the court of errors and appeals. It always meets at the be- ginning of session of the court of errors, but on account of the prolonged argument of the senate muddle before the supreme court, the court of errors cannot sit and the lay members did not come to Trenton. The counsel for Bergerman have prepared petition to the court of pardons asking that his sentence be commuted to life term of imprisonment giving as the reason for communication that Bergerman had great provocation at the time he shot his brother, Julius, in Sterling, Morris county, Jan. 19. The court not having been in session, of course, was not able to consider this petition and on that &C., count the reprieve was granted to be the subject of special consideration on April 2.

 WASHINGTON, March 29.-The presi- dent sent to the house today his mes- sage vetoing the Bland seigniorsge bill. The message is lengthy. It reviews the financial depression which prevailed throughout the country during the past year and states that this depression Is attributed generally to the mischievous Sherman law and led to it's repeal. The depression and apprehension which had completely gained control over our financial circles has largely disappeared and the recovery has steadily progressed and the tide of foreign investments has again set in our direction.
 1T believe" says the president, eff the Bland bill should become law it would be regarded as retrogression from our financial intentions that would weaken, if not destroy, returning faith in our sound financial policy"

 WASHINGTON. March 29.-In the Pol lard Breckenridge case this afternoon Col. Breckenridge went on the stand in his own behalf. He claimed that when he first met the young woman she ap- preached him on railway train and called him by name. Then she soon began writing him letters, he said, and finally made an appointment to meet him in Lexington. The burden of his testimony was that all advances were made by the young woman who now accuses him.
 Throughout his testimony Col. Breckenridge endeavored to maintain the high ground of strict moralist and to convey the impression that he had fallen victim to the designing young woman's wiles. Under the kindly guidance of his own counsel he was allowed to tell in his own way of his second meeting with Miss Pollard at the Wesleyan seminary; of his long and fatherly talk with the girl about her engagement to Rhodes whom she said she did not want to marry and of her asking him to take her that even- ing to musical concert. He procured carriage, he said and took her for a drive but did not go to the concert.
 Referring to the final incident of that drive at night Col. Breckenridge said, "I was a man with passion. she was a woman with passion tn at was all there was to it. I took liberties with her. !"
 "Just case of illicit loye?" broke in Butterworth.
 "That is it, Butterworth, Pm man, she woman, human, both of us," re- piled the defendant. Then Brecken- ridge said he took the young woman back to the seminary.
