The ARIZONA KICKER.
A Coroner Who Deserves the Thanks of q
Community.

A VALUED OFFICIAL-Ther report of the
committee appointed to look over the work
of the coroner for the last six months
proves that official to be the right man in
the right place In Chicago the newspa-
pers would come right out and call him
Jim dandy. and in st. Louis he would be
referred TO as d treasure on wheels. His
books show that in the six months he has
held IL inqueSts and in every single case
he instructed the jury 10 bring in a verdict
of heart failure" We like that term. 1t
not only has an ariStocratic twang TO II.
but it covers everything liable to happen
to misguided humanity in new country
In each and every one of the IA cases fun
personal description has been given, all
personal property carefully laid aside for
future reference and the exact spot where
the victim was laid away To rest Is marked
in red ink on the county map. A fond
father or an anxious mother in search of a
wayward, wandering son can arrive here
by stage at 10 O'Clock a. m. and before II
have all doubts set Gt rest "a TO whether
the said W. w $ was taken of by heart
failure in this neighborhood- BY noon, IL
buried here, flowers can be placed on his
grave and a erayesione and epitaph ar
ranged for. and when the stage leaves at
2 O'Clock p. IN. the parent can be ore Of
the passengers. Under other coroners il
used to take from four days 70 a week tn
hunt up the particulars concerning man
left hanging to a limb by the cowboys.
and even then no one was quite sure
whether he died OF consumption or apo
plexy. We congratulate both the county
and the coroner and trust that the present
year may bring boom in inquests and give
the official every chance TO increase and ex
tend LIS reputation

Charged With strangling Disreputable
OF Evidence of Highly Sensational
Character, at That--Wil be Tried
Specifically for the Murder of Lena Tam
per--Cases Remarkable not Only for
Their Atrocity bat for the Success of the
Murderer in Battling Arrest.

Denver, Colo. April 1e-The fendish
crimes OF the Market street stranger
will be rehearsed in the criminal court
beginning tomorrow morning. Richard
Demandy viii be placed on trial for the
murder of Lena Taper. Whether or
not this Frenchman is guilty OF muir
der that almost rivals the work OF
Jack the Ripper in the Whitechapel
district of London, will be decided by
a jury.
The series of murders Of fallen wo-
men and the successful manner in which
the stranger eluded arrest has made
the case celebrated all over the United
States. The district attorneys office
claims 10 have startling evidence that

Demandy at least strangled the first

n tragic feature of the case that may
play an important figure inthe trial IL
the information gathered from the
rawlings Of Demandy's beautiful sister.
Madame Fouchette. who suddenly be-
came a maniac several weeks ago 1t
is claimed that she lost her mind brood
ing over her brothers arrest. She was
taken to the county hospital and de-
tectives have been there for hours list
ening to her demented and sometimes
lncoherent talk. AT times she would
stand for hours, her hands Eraspinc
the back of a chair and her long golden
hair streaming almost TO the floor.
silent, and then she would often break
out in denunciations of Demandy's &C
cusers and talk of the crimes. At
other times the ghost of one Of the
strangled women would seem TO appear
TO her and she would suffer the widest
delirium- Whether or not the detect
ives have learned anything from her
is not known.
The trial will probably occupy about
two weeks. The defense alone has
summoned forty-fve witnesses.

portion Of these 20 the whole number

SCHOOL DEDICATED.-Howland Hall
of the colored industrial school, near
Manassas, which was destroyed by fire
during the blizzard of February last,
and which was rebuilt on much. larger
scale, was dedicated on Saturday with
interesting ceremonies. The leading
colored citizens Of Washington and
northern Virginia were present. Sup
erintendent Montgomery presided. The
principal speakers were Rev. Walter
Brooks, of Washington, who delivered
the dedicatory address, and Hon. John
E. Massey, State superintendent of
schools, and E. P. Clemons, principal
of the school.
Congressman Meredith who came
from a sick bed said that no money
could have induced him to visit to-day
school of his own race and that he
came only to assure them that, not
witbstanding all rumors to the con-
trary, the southern people had no
prejudice against such schools for the
betterment of the colored race.
Judge Charles E. Nicol of the circuit
court referred to the historic signif-
icance of the school, located on the first
battlefield of the late war. and wished
it God speed. Among other citizens
present were Mayor Taylor, of Manas-
sas, DR.. Clarkson, Captain r. 81. Tyler,
Commemorative Attorney Thornton,
County Treasurer Hutchinson and
Isaac P. Baldwin.

ALMOST A LYNcHING.-John Chum-

burg Saturday afternoon for safe keep
ing by the sheriff of Nottaway county
A few days ago Chumley, who was
working at Crewe, compelled his land
lady, at the point of a pistol, to receipt
his board bill. He then assaulted her
and boarded passing train. He was
arrested at Petersburg on telegraphic
communication from Crewe and taken
back to that place. About o'clock
Friday mob of fifty men appeared at
Tailor Deans's house and demanded
the keys of the jail. They were refus-
ed and the mob was driven off by the
jailor and his son. They went to the
Jail, however, and tried to force an en-
trance, but were unsuccessful. Chum-
ley was then removed to Petersburg.

CONFLICT OVER A CoRPsE.-Walter
Lyford. aged nineteen years, was
caught under cable car in the Spring
Side Coal Company's mine near Pans,
I'll on Saturday and internally injur-
ed. He died that afternoon. Before
he died Rev. Father Wiegand called at
the house and was admitIei. Passing
his hands over the body of young Ly-
frd, he said prayer.
Ed. S. Lyford, father OF the boy, OBJ
.jected to the proceeding and ordered
Father Wiegand out Of the house.
Father Wiegsnd left and informed
Catholics of the action of Lytord. Some
of the Catholics were greatly excited
over the treatment given to their
priest and say as the dead boy is q
member of the Catholic faith they will
take bis body and see that it is decent
ly buried in accordance with the rules
of the faith.
Lyford's father, who is an A. P. a.,
called on that order for assistance and
twenty-five members responded. The
A. P. AS have charge OF the BODY and
declare that they will stand their
ground, and if any attempt is made to
take it blood viii follow.

CHARGED WITH SEDUCTION.

AS sequel of Miss Fannie Brooks's
disappearance from Fredericksburg it
is stated that Mr.. John Watson will
institute proceedings against Mr.. W. E.
Brooks, for false accusation and de-
famation of character, and it is very
probable that the telegraph operator at
Ashland, who went to Fredericksburg
on Friday and made purchase at Mr..
Watson's store for the purpose of iden-
tying him, will also be implicated. 1t
had been supposed that Miss Brooks
eloped with, or went to Washington
for the purpose of marrying one George
Hainer, young commission merchant
of that city, but the girls father, Mr..
W. E. Brooks, who conducts a meat
business in Fredericksburg, went to
Ashland Thursday and had the tele-
graph operator describe the young man
who accompanied Miss Brooks to that
place, where it is positively known she
went before taking the north bound
train. In consequence Mr.. Brooks on
Friday had John Watson, of Fred
ericksburg, aged % years, arrested on
charge of abducting his daughter for
immoral purposes. Watson strenuously
denies the charge and says he can prove
that he did not leave the city on the
night in question, and his friends are
inclined to the belief that he is inno-
cent. Mayor Rowe bailed him out in
the sum of 5000 as guarantee for his
appearance in court next Thursday to
which day the case has been continued.
One of the police officers says that
although Watson stoutly maintains his
innocence, sufficient facts have develop
ed TO warrant the belief that Miss
Brooks will be produced in time 10
appear at the trial Thursday. TIE
affair is subject for general converse
ton and IS discussed in the family
circles, as we'll as on the street corner.
