Mrs. Mobiles Sentenced to be Hang

Atlanta, Ca, July IA speci-
al to the Constitution from JEFF
fersonville, Ca, states that Mrs.
William Mobiles and Gus Families
were found guilty Of murder to-
day and sentenced to hang on
August 10th. Mary Families
was sentenced to life imprison-
ment. Debbie Mobiles was ac-
quilted and was also Dalton
Joyner. a negro, who was accus-
ed by Gus Families of having
assisted him in the murder.
Three other negroes who were
arrested two weeks ago on sus-
picion were not indicted. The
jury was out only few minutes
to-day. The State had brought
out every detail of the murder
from the beginning of the plot
to the accomplishment and the
burial of the body in the shallow
grave. It was SHOWN that the
old man had rebuked his daugh-
ter Debbie, for immoral con-
duct. She was defended by the
mother. From this the quarrel
resulted. The mother and
daughter turned upon the father.
Each of them promised to give
$40 to have the old man killed,
It was proved that Mrs. Mobiles
enticed her husband to the crib
to look for a thief and when he
stopped she struck him on the
head and families finished him.
Mrs. Mobiles, who is 60 years
old, took the verdict and sent.
ences with the utmost indiffer-
ence. Within a minute after the
sentence had been pronounced,
she and her daughter, Debbie,
were laughing at some trivial
matter.

The Biggest. Derrick IN the World.

A piece of mechanicism, like
which there is none other in the
world, is the gigantic steel der
rick at the gigantic steel der.
rick quarry. at Barre, VT. says
the New York World. The mast,
which is SO feet high, stands
higher than any similar one yet
erected. Both the mast and the
boom are built of heavy steel
plates riveted together with hun
dreds of large bolts, and stiffen-
ed with a number of trusses.
The mass is sustained by guys
1unning from the top to points
averaging about 700 feet distant,
and anchored to trees or great
rings set into the granite ledge.
The wire rope in the guys and
other rigging would make con-
tinuous line almost a mile in
length, and the weight of the
derrick, exclusive of rope, is
about $4,000 pounds.
The boom is 20 feet long, and
commands large amount Of
working surface. None of the
Barre granite quarries are deep;
the tendency has always been to
extend operations laterally in
stead Of going down into the
earth SO that the advantage de-
rived from the great length Of
boom is apparent.
The machine is operated by
means of a powerful hosting
engine and all the workings are
controlled by single engineer
There are steam derricks at all
the large quarries and granite
manufacturing plants in Barre,
but the power applies only to
the lifting; the booms with their
loads Of stone in every instance
are swung around by hand
power. At the foot of the Tayn-
tor derrick, heavily planked over
to protect it from flying stone
when blasting out refuse granite
is the turning gear connected
by a wire rope with the engine
house, where. by means Of a
lever similar in it's workings to
the reversing lever similar in it's
on a locomotive, the engineer
alone is able to lift from the
bottom Of the quarry, swing
around to the side track, and
place upon fat car a block of
granite weighing forty tons. The
largest single piece of stone ever
lifted from a quarry in America
by means of a derrick was taken
from this quarry, and weighed
fifty seven and one half tons.
The derrick has always been
found equal to any strain put
upon it, and has several times
broken chain links nearly two in
ches in diameter. The company
has an order for a granite shaft
fifty-fve feet in length. which,
in the rough, will weigh nearly
100 tons. 1t is already partly
quarried.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK.
Bradstreet's Review of the Condition OF
Trade.

New York, July 12.-Brad-
streets tomorrow will say: Al
the close of the second week in
July the condition of trade gen.
orally remains practically un-
changed, although commercial
and industrial activity at many
points continues more conspicu-
Gus than usual at the mid-sum-
mer season. Prices generally
continue strong. exceptions be-
ing found among the cereals, hog
products, coffee and lead; while
as significant as anything, are
the exceptionally favorable out
look for trade in the fall, and the
encouraging promise for the
wheat and corn crops through
out the Central, Western and
Northwestern States.
Bessemer pig iron is higher
again, $14 being asked at Pitts
burg and SIS is expected in the
near future. Steel billets are
also higher. as are galvanized
and black sheets, hides and man
ufactured goods generally. The
heavy receipts of cattle and hogs,
good crop reports and reduced
purchases of wheat abroad will
explain reactions in the commod-
tiles referred to, while sugar.
print cloths and cotton have re
NAMED firm at last weeks quo
tations. New business in dry
goods is quiet, but prices are
steady, and dress woollens firmer
on the higher price of raw wool.
Bank clearings throughout the
country this week present the
largest total since the period of
panic in 1898, STAG, 900, 900; 80
per cent. larger than the second
week of July, 1894, and IA per
cent. larger than in the second
week in July, 1898
June railway earnings show
continued Improvement and the
largest gain for any month with
in two yerrs. The only notable
falling off in June is that in earn.
ing of Southern roads caused by
the coal miners strike on the
Norfolk & Western railroad.
There were 265 business fail
ures i'll the United States this
week as compared with 1877 last
week and 228 in the second week
of July, 1894
Among Eastern cities there is
change for the better at Pitts
burg, Philadelphia, Baltimore
and Providence, Manufacture
ers of woolens and jewelry re-
port a better demand. while all
forms of iron and steel are in &C
tive request, these features re-
sulting in the stimulation of busi-
ness in other lines.
With a few exceptions general
trade is quiet, and summer dull
ness prevails throughout the
South.

The Wheels of Justice.

The wheels of justice in the Flag staff police court were fabricated Tues day morning after protracted lay-otf. Sad and repentant, H. B. Johnson, who has been working in a logging camp, found himself before Justice Prime, who imposed sentence of five days in the city dungeon. Monday night Johnson drank himself into a belligerent mood and confidently de- clared that the whole constabulary could not fight in his class. His re- marks were distressingly punctured with language prescribed by the third commandment, and as his conversa- tional powers threatened to wake the dead, Deputy City Marshal Fred Hoch- derffer concluded to get in word or two.
 Johnson became highly indignant and threatened to annihilate the officer in a single round, but one glance at the latter's gold cure pistol subdued his ardor and he was landed in the Black Hole of Calcutta, and next morn- ing sentenced to five days of silence.

THEY ARE COMING.
southern California Editors Will Arrive Friday, June 7th.


 Arrive Friday, June 7th.
 The universe will necessarily have to slip cog or two in it's diurnaI peregrinations through southern Cali fornia the fore part of June. for ye editors of that section have fully de- termined to take a lay-otf and visit natures unrivaled wonder, the Grand Canyon of the Colorado.
 At a recent meeting of the Southern California Press association it was decided that the party, which will prob ably number about seventy-fve per sons, will leave Los Angeles on Thurs day morning, June 9th, at o'clock. This will bring them into the Skylight City at 7:20 o'clock Friday morning, June Eth. The programme outlines Friday and Friday night to be spent at Flagstaff, and Saturday morning the trip will be made to the Canyon. The party will spend Sunday and Monday there, and the return home will com mence Tuesday morning. The associa- ton has limited the number of excur- sionists to seventy-tive and none but quill-pushers, with one member of the family, are eligible. An invitation has been extended to the California Press association, and editors who are not members of either association can take advantage of this excellent oppor- tunity to expand their souls at a moderate price.
 All necessary arrangements have been made with J. w. Thurber, pro- prietor of the stage line, and Land- lords Coalter and Tolfree, of the Bank and Grand Canyon hotels respectively, and the brainy men and women of the Southern California press may be as- sured of warm reception and a rare treat in the way of scenic glories.

 Superintendent of Construction Will son says that work on the new public school house will probably not be re- sumed for about three weeks. The building is awaiting the arrival of steel bars from Chicago. The order has been sent in but it will likely be some time in transit.
 E. N. Crawford of Chicago, H., brother of A. B. Crawford, the jeweler, will arrive here on the 10th inst. and will remain about ten days. Mir. Crawford is practical optician and makes the fitting of glasses to the eye a speciality. Those desiring the ser vices of an expert optician should call at Crawford's jewelry store during his stay here.
 Barney Sears now has full charge of the Parlor Exchange restaurant, Fred Hawkins having retired from the firm. This has become the popular eating house of the town. Excellent cooking and courteous treatment are the secret of success in this instance. A new private box has been put in for the accommodation of those who desire privacy.
 Aaron Goldberg and J. B. Lacey of Phoenix spent Friday here. Mir. Gold berg is one of the firm of Goldberg Bros. and MT. Lacey is the owner of the Phoenix gas works. Dr. Brannen drove the visitors over town and they expressed themselves as being highly pleased with the Skylight City and it's superb summer climate and they will probably spend portion of the sum- mer here.
 Flagstaff's chain gang has been practically abolished. There was fric- tiou as to whose duty it was to herd the hobos while they laundered the streets, so petty offenders must now repent within the narrow confines of the 2x4 dungeon called the city jail. It is alleged that City Marshal Hoch- derffer claimed it was not a part of his duty to superintend the job but that the work came under the juris- diction of Street Commissioner May flower. The latter said nay. Perhaps the city council can disentangle the snarl that seems to have disrupted the noble enterprise.
 These whimsical notions of society are responsible for whole lot of the tribulations ot mankind. Last Satur- day an eastern society lady who has transformed herself into Trilby per- sonified stuck her Trilby head out of the car window of passing train, and the terrible sight threw little Jim Osbon's horse into violent connip- ton. The lad was flung into the air like premature explosion, without an opportunity to choose landing place. and the earth received him face first. Jimmy's arm was sprained, both eyes blackened and his face is living re- proof against too general an exhibi- tion of tie fads of society.
