WHERE THEY WENT.
The Railroad Officials Ex-
 pected in Phoenix.
A Meeting at Los Angeles Yesterday in the Matter of the Salt Lake
 and Los Angeles.

The party of Santa Fe railroad officials from Chicago, expected here day before yesterday had more important business at Los Angeles. It was learned at THE REPUBLICAN office last night that the party was headed by Judge Sterry of the Santa Fe. and that the object of the visit was to meet Col. Walker, the pro- moter of the Salt Lake & Los Angeles road at Los Angeles.
 The meeting yesterday was probably the most i'm mportant railroad conference held in the United States for any pur- pose since the great strike last summer. It is intended that it shall result in the agreement upon details for beginning the construction of the Salt Lake x Los Angeles.
 Col. Walker is said to be the greatest and most successful advance agent of railroads in existence. It was his energy and talent that pushed the c. K. X N., westward from the Missouri river and many other lines owe if not their existence, their extent to his ex- ecutive ability.

President Robinson of the Santa Fe just before the railroad celebration, is already heavily interested in the pro- iected enterprise, his interests in the Utah coal fields reaching, it is stated, not less than $100, ,000.
 It is believed that work will be begun on the road within sixty days. The road will run on the nearest possible direct line from Salt Lake to Lud- low, Cal, station on the Santa Fe. It will tap an ex- panse of coal fields wider in extent than any west of the Mississippi and the projectors have already estimated that coal can be laid down in Los An geles at not more than $5 ton. But the coal business, great as it promises to be, is regarded as only 8 trifing in- cident in the supposed prosperity of the new road, whose office is to become the most direct transcont tinental route from the northeast to the south west.

U., who were engaged in the Chicago strike last sum- mer, will be argued in the United States supreme court on Monday.

A DISTINGUISHED GUEST.
Arrival of Hon. L. E. PaySon
 Yesterday.
A Gentleman Once in the Employ of Arizona With SatiS-
 factory Results.

PhRniX's most distinguished Vlsltor yesterday was Hon. Lewis E. Payson, of Washington, D. G., whose law prac- tice extends oyer half the United States, whose clients are claimants against the government or suitors for fayors or redress of wrongs, at the hands of the government.
 He is on his way to the coast and the northwest, accompanied by his wife. They have stopped at Phoenix to visit Mrs. Payson's son, MT. William Lyman, of the Valley bank. They will probably resume their journey tomorrow night. This is not Mir. Pavson's first visit to Phoenix. He was here tbree years ago and says that the improvements and progress made since then have been so marvellous that the city is almost un- recognizable.
 In Pbenix and in all Arlzona for that matter there is warm feel ing for MT. Payson or at least 8 feeling of familiarity. His name was frequently heard during the last cam pain from Democratic stumps and seen in Democratic newspapers. It figured in a certain warrant for $500 paid him by the late loan commission for aid in promoting the passage of the funding act. Even the Demo- crats however did not deny that he had not we'll earned the money but they did deny that authority existed to retain him. It was agreed though by all parties that retainer's fee had never before been productive of abler services.
 Slnce he became Arizona's lawyer, although the cause in which he was employed was brought to successful termination and his employment ceased, he has naturally taken 8 more than passing interest in it. Speaking of it's future yesterday he said that he believed it would be admitted to state. hood early in the next session.
 On the subject of arid lands MT. Payson believed that they should be ceded to the territory. He also believed that this disposition of them would finally be made.
 MT. Payson is we'll preserved gentle man of 55, though he looks much younger. He has been in public life for nearly thirty years, first judge in Illinois. He subsequently, represented an Illinois district in the Forty seventh congress, was reelected to the Forty eighth and again to the Forty-ninth After his retirement from official life he settled down in Washington and en- gagged in the practice of law. He is principally engaged in the land de- partment.

THERE is LITTLE INSURANCE.

Shortly before I o'clock Saturday

doah in the business portion of the
town and before the flames were
extingulshed fully a hundred thousand
dollars worth of property was destroy

The fire started in two story frame
building, portion Of which was oc-
cupied by the Herald" Printing
Company as printing Office, and the
remainder by c. +. Pitman as stable.
1t was in the most thickly settled por-
ton Of the town and all the buildings
in the block being frame it was with
the greatest difficulty the fire was got
under control This was not accom-
plished until almost the whole square
had been destroyed.
The principal losers are Charles f.
Titman, the Herald" Printing
Company, Martin Heisenberger,
James McElhenny, Otto Carts, Ger
ZACH Dornbach, Adam Taber and
Charles Radzlewicz. The latter is
probably the heaviest loser. He con

Burglars,

Last week Thursday night several
places were entered by burglars, but
in no instance did they get anything
of much value. At l. w. Hartman's
residence his pants were taken from
his bedroom where he was sleeping,
and were found in the alley next
morning. The thief got IS cents. At
the Club House a noise was heard
about half past one, and David Bou.
ton, the steward, went down stairs
and saw man getting out of the
window, and four more outside. He
didn't capture any of them. A. L.
Schoch's residence was also entered,
but nothing was taken, as they must
have been frightened away. The pa
pers all over the country are filled
with reports of burglaries and it is
therefore wise for everybody to see
that their houses are securely locked

GREAT FOREST FIRES.
ABOUT ONE HUNDRED OIL RIGS, WITH
THEIR TANKS, &c, HAVE BEEN
DESTROYED AND THE FIRES
CONTINUE.
RUSSELL CITY NEARLY LOST.

BRADFORD, Pa, June 4.-The for
est fires that have been rag ng through
out this section for several days and
destroying many oil rigs and an i'm
mense amount of lumber and proper
ty, are still burning. Perhaps 100
oil rigs have been destroyed, with
tanks, &c, in proportion. 1t is re
ported that Russell City has been
wiped out entirely. The residents
escaped by tagging a freight train.
working all night the fires in this i'm
mediate vicinity were checked, but
the sky is overhung with dense smoke,
and in every direction. lurid clouds
can be seen rolling over the hills.
Bradford is in no danger, but enorm.
Gus losses have been sustained both
north and south Of here, rs far south
as Elk County. 1t is the worst fire
ever known in this section because Of
its extent. Everything is dry as tin
der and the flames sweep with almost
race horse speed. Gangs of men are
working in relays night and day, but
nature is nearly exhausted and unless
rain comes soon the damage will be
almost lncalculable.
Since the above was in type tine
rain has quenched the fires.

ONE ROSE PAYS THE RENT.
HUNDREDS WILL GATHER AT MANNHEIM
TO SEE THE UNIQUE CEREMONY.

That unique event, the Feast Of
Roses" will occur at Mannheim, Pa.
next Sunday. This peculiar ceremony,
though it has been celebrated in June
for scores of years, attracts hundreds
of strangers to that peaceful borough.
So next Sunday the congregation of
Zion Lutheran Church will pay the
ground rent upon which the edifce
stands by laying upon the altar one
red rose.
Baron Henry William Stiegel found
ed Mannheim more than century ago.
He presented plot of ground to the
Zion Lutheran Church and stipulated
that all it should cost would be one
red rose every June. Hence the
unique ceremony.
The rose is plucked by certain
member of the congregation, and it is
laid with great soemnity upon the
altar. There are special religious
services held on that day. The life
and virtues Of the generous Baron are
retold, hymns are sung and prayers
said
If next Sunday shall be fine day
a great crowd of people will assemble
at Zion Church to see the sacred rose
Usually, however, bushels of roses are
sent to the altar, although one i.
enough legally to cancel the rental.

A SUBSTITUTE FOR ICE.
A CHICAGO MAN SAID TO HAVE PUT
THE ICEMAN OUT OF COURT.

Chicago has been interested this
week by some experiments with new
chemical compound designed to take
the place of ice. The chemical costs
twenty cents pound. 1t is placed in
the ice box of a refrigerator, small
amount of water is added to cause it
to dissolve the refrigerator is then
closed and cold results Immediately.
The inventor says that the COM
pound contains eleven ingredients and
the formula is secret. The mixture
is light pink in color, and is in the
form of crystals like coarse salt. 1t
is said to be perfectly harmless and
has an alkaline taste. When moisten-
ed it instantly becomes intensely cold,
This effect lasts twenty four hours, or
until the crystals are entirely dissolved.
Then it is placed on fire and "boll-
ed down until the water evaporates
and the crystals are LETT in their origin
al form. 1t is then ready for use
again by simply adding fresh water.
1t is asserted that the chemicals lose
none of their properties by the pro.
cess, and that the crystals can be used
for years.
During the Chicago tests ice was
frozen to tine thickness of window
glass in few minutes, and the thick
ness of two or three inches in less
than six hours. The experiments
were successful in every way, and ice
dealers ought to be particularly inter
ested in them. There is little doubt
that before many years refrigeratlng
apparatus will be devised by which
houses may be cooled in summer as
easily as they are now warmed In win
ter. The new refrigerating compound
may be an important factor in the
solution of this problem.

The Wilkes Barre Record has learn
ed on the best of authority that the
county commissioners signed the or
der for the second $4,000 for archi-
tect Myers on account of the court
house plans. 1t is said that the archi-
tect demanded the order according to
the terms of the ironbound contract
the commissioners signed. AS the
county treasurer has stated that he
will not recognize any such order un
til site is secured and the court au-
thorizes the approval of the contract,
it is quite probable that Mr.. Myers
will proceed against the county for
the payment of the money. The con-
tract says he is entitled to it as soon
as he delivers the completed plans
and specifications, which he has al
ready done. Developments are anxi
ously awaited.
