The Wn1Orfty Report.
The following was reported by Senator
Arizona republican. [volume] (Phoenix, Ariz.) 1890-1930, 1895-01-08
Knows Where to Build.

1t is extremely doubtful if any citizen
Of Arizona has had greater experience
in building fine residences for himself
than Col. Fitch. He has lived and
built in various states, territories and
climates, as the health OF Mrs. Fitch
has not been robust for several years.
In selecting site for permanent home
in Arizona Mr.. Fitch showed excellent
judgment in deciding upon the Simms
Addition. His residence there will cost
$4,000 and will be second to none in
the territory in excellence of design,
material and arrangement.

In many parts of France butter is
kept quite sweet for number of days
by a very simple means Dip the
hands in fresh water, and manipulate
the butter SO as to squeeze out all the
remains of buttermilk, then pack it
tightly into any earthenware vessel
that will hold it, either in large or
small quantities; a cup will do, or a
pudding basin, according to require
ments, only the butter must be S well
pressed down that no space be allowed
for any air to penetrate. Invert this
vessel in soup plate or shallow dish
and fill the latter with fresh water,
stand it in a cellar or cold larder,
change the water every day, and the
butter will certainly remain sweet for
a week or more.

POLICE COURT.
A Jail Too Vile for Comparatively
Respectable Prisoners.

a Jail Too Vile for Comparatively
Respectable Prisoners.
Two bright and rather honesS-faced
boys OF IS, but strangers, were in po-
lice court yesterday for begging on the
streets. The case was clear against
them, but they escaped conviction on
grounds that were highly creditabe to
the humanity of Recorder Schwartz,
who reasoned that though the boys were
guilty of having violated city ordi-
nance, they were also hungry, but be-
ing hungry was only mitigating Cir
cumstance.
The reason the boys were discharged
was that there was no place in Jail for
them. The city prison is just now in
tested by the hardest class of prisoners
that were ever congregated in it. The
recorder feared that their morals or
lack of morals would be pollution to the
boys.

Landero, concerning whom it had been
officially made known to the grand jury
that he had been living in manner
unbecoming a good citizen as seen
from the standpoint of the Edmunds

grand jury that Landero had been
guilty of polygamous relation. The
grand jury subsequently informed the
court, in an indictment touching upon
this rumor, that wheresthere was 80
much smoke there must be some fire

the investigation of matters of this
kind, take the matter up and sift it to

GOMEZ'S ARMY GROWS.
Three Thousand More Men Will Join His Stand ard-te Does Not Intend to
 Menace Havana.

Jacksonville, Fla. July GA special to the Times Union from Tampa, Fla, says: Passengers by the Mascotte state that Maximo Gomez is near Las Villas with 5000 men. At that place there are 3000 more men to join him. Matanzas is between Gomez and Havana, and in that vicinity numerous bands of insurgents are seen. In the Vuelta Abajo district the people are ready for fighting. Gen eral Maceo has charge of the eastern di- vision.
 One passenger though a. Cuban, and therefore expected to look through Gu ban glasses, gave an intelligent account of the true situation on the island. He says the insurgents cause has spread un- til the general government is thoroughly alarmed.
 Campos has succeeded in tearing down both the autonomist and reform parties. In their stead he has established the conservative party. This change in the present situation has caused a number of people to leave the island, and they seek refuge in this country for the most part.
 The very latest from the seat of war is that Gomez has taken Altagracia, Mu- lata, St. Geronimo and Yeguay, small towns in Puerto Principe province. He took a number of arms and some ammu- hilton. This gentleman says Gomez does not intend to march on Havana.

The Strange Story Told by a Lad Who At-
 tempted Suicide.


 New York, July GA tall, emaciated looking man, who says he is John R.. Alscine. Is years of age, of Charleston, S. C., tried to commit suicide in the Hud- son river this morning. He ran to the foot of Twenty-fourth street, yelled loudly. and before he could be stopped sprang into the water A boat was pro- cured by laborers on the dock and he was rescued and turned over to the po- lice. At the station house he told a re- markable story in an incoherent man. ner He stated that his parents were wealthy, and lived in Charleston, $. c. Becoming tired of seeing him about the house, because they believed him to be insane he said, they determined to get rid of him.
 His father, he said, about ten days ago took him to the railway yard in Charles ton and put him in a freight car with a can of water and a loaf of bread, and, after telling him that if he made noise he would be killed, left him.
 He remained in the car until he reached Philadelphia, where the train hands put him out and cuffed and abused him. From there he beat his way to Jersey City, where he remained two days with out food or shelter. He then stole a passage over the ferry to New York. Here he wandered about until he became so hungry that be determined to end his life in the river.
 Alscine was turned over to the care of the charities commissioners, who will inquire into his sanity. The police of Charleston have been communicated with in order to get a knowledge of the truth or falsity of his remarkable state fDpDt
