"DIRT CHEAP.n
IagstaG's New Chain Gang Regarded
 in That Light.

Flagstaff has at last discarded the Swaddling clothes of infancy and mu- nicipal baby byhood and risen to the dig ,ity of Il city with chain gang.
 Constable William Dickinson was letailed on a hobo roundup, and Sum lay he made an extensive detour of the purlieus in search of street cleaning talent. He contrived to lasso five more or less able-bodied dust-siained travellers who had become transient cliif dwellcrs for want of better shelter. They seemed to have been subsisting principally upon burro diet of tin cans, a few crumbs of animated cheese, with morsel or two of comfort, and no grass in sight, SO the compassionate officer led the way to the city dungeon and registered his guests in large, round characters. Meanwhile City Marshal Hochderffer introduced him self to two wandering waifs, and the luckless seven appeared before Justice Prime Monday morning to answer to the charge of vagrancy. His honor furnished them employment on the town streets for five days each. and with Constable Dickinson as gendarme and overseer of the job, the motley crew moved listlessly upon the main street. each armed with brand-new, long-handled rake that is supposed to get everything it goes after The members of this experimental brigade are earning their fodder and lodgings aud the street cleaning army will be recruited from time to time from the ranks of the floating population. Lmping Luke, Consumption Cute and their .pards" are doing pretty good job, and they have set the pace for those unfortunates who may be un- wary enough to get enmeshed in the police dragnet. The officers say they intend to use discrimination in the sa- lection of men. and it will pe their en- teavor to hound only the professional vagrant in search cf fat job in a IaHk. II lfHNPlpr eau SHOW mat ne is worthy he will not be obliged to carry away in his old clothes the odum attached to an engagement on the chain gang.
 A little push cart that will gather the hil!orks of offal representing the efforts of the gang is part of the equip ment of the street cleaning institution. and as rocks and other obslructions
 hat are SO trying to mems soles share in the general upheaval maybe we won't have to keep our eyes peeled for the high places after the chain gang has been established as a permanency. The city authorities regard it as a ''dirt cheap" institution.
 The local chain gangis distinguished from most of those in other towns by the absence of the clinking chain and Eeavy ball that is usually attached to the legs of the men employed. This is relic of harbarism that can be we'll dispensed with.

Special Correspondence to THE SUN.l
 PHOENIX, March 20.-Thc legisla- ture adjourns sine die tomorrow Crhursday). During its career ninety seven bills have been introduc, d., which is about the same number as its predecessor had before it.
 The following appointments of Gov. Hughes have been contirmed M. H. McCord, citizen member of the board of control; c. P. Leitch, territorial auditor (reappointed; M. F. Shaw, assistant prison superintendent; Harry w. McKean, secretary of the prison board. Dr. P. G. Cotter, nominated for prison physician, was rejected.
 The bill to reimburse ex.Gov. Wo,tley was passed over the veto oI Gov. Hughes, who was sharply crili- cised for failing to sign it. The meas. urc for the relief "f the public schools at Phoenix was defeated.
 The advocates of woman suffrage worked hard but were doomed to dis appointment. The blll giving females the right to vote went down by Il house vote of five to seven. Although defeated, the bill secured two more vote, than its supporters expected. The bill for the removal of the capital went with il. Both houses passed the bill limiting the salaries of all terri tnrial officials To $l,SO0 per annum. Under IL penilenliary guards and others m subordinate pubic positions of similar nature will not be allow eu over $l, ,UOO year. A law was also enacted to allow juries tu fix the pun. ishment in misdemeano" eases, instead of permitting the justices to do it, as heretofore.
 Councilman Bahbitt made strong fight for the reform school appropria- lion, assisted by Councilman DJran. They managed lo overcome Il vigorous attempt lo Kill it, and it will uudoubt- edly become law. An effort will probably be made at the next session to have the institution converted to some other use. By the terms of the law il tax of one-eighlh of mill is to be levied for the completion of the structure. The bill providing for the taxation of national banks has passed.
 A bill of especial importance to Co- conino county, and in fact to every progressive portion of the territory. has been passed. It is that exempt ing new railroads from taxation for a period of twenty years. It was intro duced by Councilman Baobilt and one of the reasons for it's enactment was that it will materially aid in the cOu- struction of the proposed Durango, Flagstaff & San Diego road.
 The bill for the removal of the terri torial prison from Yuma to Prescott has passed the council by vote of seven to five. The Prescott contin- gent is out iu force and working hard for it's passage through the house. It is confidently asserted by it's advo- cates that the bill will become a law. The immigration bill has also success fully run the gauntlet of the council and the assembly men seem to favor it.

KNOTTY QUESTIONS.
Litigation Before Judge Laughlin in
Chambers Respecting an Old
Judgment Assigned to e.
H. Gildersleeye.

The matter of judgment of the First
National bank of Santa Fe against M. A.
Bartleson and others, involving over &c.
600, came up before Judge Laughlin IN
chambers yesterday under peculiar cir
cumstances.
1t appears that in 1887 the bank pro-
cured Judgment against Rarteson and
his sureties, @. H. Gildersleeve and W. E.
Broad, on promissory note for some
$4,000 and interest. Whereupon, with a
view to self-protection if possible, Gil
derseeve bought the note and judgment
in question and both were duly assigned
to him by W. W. Griffin and R. j. Palen,
as president and cashier of the bank.
Time moved along as usual and the as
signed note and judgment continued to
be all that Mr.. Gildersleeve had to show
for the large amount of money he had in
vested therein. Some time ago he sued
out an execution against certain coal
| lands near Monero, alleged to belong to
w. E. Broad, co-surety on the note, and
now Broad resists the enforcement of the
same on number of grounds. The some
what intricate legal propositions involved
came before Judge Laughlin yesterday in
the form of a motion to quash the execu-
tion.
Messrs. Catron, Spiess and Bartlett ap-
peared for the motion and Messrs. Glider
sleeve, Fiske and Crist urged that the
execution be sustained. After hearing
lengthy arguments pro and con, the case
was taken under advisement.
