The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least cue dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages, and that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a con- stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting dl- rectly upon the blood and mucous sur faces of the system, thereby destroy ing the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by build ing up the constitution and assisting nature in doing Its work. The pro- prietors have so much faith in it's cur. atiye powers that they offer One Hun. dred Dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Send for list of testimonials.

AN OPEN SWITCH
Causes the Death of Two Men-Thc
 Wreck at Williams Sunday.

Causes the Death of Two Men-The Wreck at Williams Sunday. On Sunday evening passenger train No. left Williams at o'clock and ran into an open switch at the west end of the Williams yard, derailing the engine at the bridge at that point. The engine fell over on the side.
 Fireman David Flickinger jumped when he saw the danger Engineer Downs was caught under the engine. A tramp who was riding on the blind baggage ran to the rescue of Engineer Henry Downs and succeeded in releasing him from his position, and with the aid of Fireman Flick finger he was taken out of the escaping steam.
 Engineer Downs was taken to the Hayward Hoase, where his injuries were dressed, and he was supposed to be in no great danger from his in- juries. Monday it was thought best to remove him to the hospital at Albu- querque, but while making prepara- tions to take him to the train at 10 o'clock that night he died.
 Fireman Flickinger was asked if he was injured by his jump from the en- zine. He said he was not injured, and remained with the train until 10 o'clock Sunday night, when with other railroad men he started to go to the Hayward House. On reaching the house he sank into chair and died in a few moments. A post-mortem exam ination was made by Dr. Roberts, and it was found that Flickinger had burst his kidneys, and it is probable that in jumping from the engine he struck his back on the bridge timber, causing the fatal injuries.
 David Flickinger was well known along the line of the A. & F., and was a resident of Winslow, where he has a brother living. The body was taken to Hartford, Kansas, where his parents reside, accompanied by his brother Frank.
 Henry Downs was a son of Mir. aud Mrs. John Downs of Winslow, and the funeral took place there yesterday.
 The switch was left open by one of the yard switchmen, but the r,sponsi- bility of the accident rests with the en- gineer, as the rules of the railroad company require the engineer to keep sharp lookout for open switches, and the engineer did not notice the open switch in time to avoid the accident.

THE A. < P. WASHOUTS.
Have Taken Out Many Bridges
 Along the Line.
Through Passenger Trains Run by the Way of Phoenix-The Dam- age will be Repaired and
 Trains Running To-Day.

On Friday night last heavy rains oc- cured along the line of the A. X P railroad from Peach Springs to Ash Hill, on the California division, tov- ering about 200 miles of the track. Iu the Sacramento valley, between Yucca and the Colorado river, occurred the most serious washOuts. The 5OO-foot bridge beyound Yucca was washed away, as well as several smaller bridges between that place and Mullen. All the available men along the line of the road were set to work Saturday and Sunday on the damaged track.
 The storm in the Sacramento valley was in the nature of series of cloud bursts, and the water came down the washes from the mountains in tor rents. The telegraph poles were washed out for two miles on both the Postal and Western Union lines. The washouts on the California desert west of Needles were not so ex- tensive, although they covered more miles of track and were mostly side washes and the damage easily repaired. Trains were running oyer that portion of the road Tuesday.
 Saturday arrangements were made to run the through passenger trains over the Santa Fe, Prescott X Phoenix railway to Phoenix, the Maricopa & Phoenix road to Maricopa and the Southern Pacific railroad to Colton, where the Santa Fe tracks were reached.
 The overland trains attracted great attention at Phoenix, almost the entire population of the Capital City turning out to witness the arrival of the first Santa Fe train. At Yuma the train was met by the populace of that place headed by brass band.
 Traffic on the road east of the wash outs was kept up, notwithstanding the demoralizalion beyond Yucca.
 In 1881 Sacramento valley was vis- ited with heavy storm which washed away several miles of roadbed. At that time the road was built in the wash, but the road has been changed to higher ground, and the present wash out occurs from side washes, where the road crosses the canyon leading from the mountains to the main wash iu the valley.

Exceedingly Popular.

Councilman s. N. Philips and family left Wednesday for the Grand Canyon, where they will stay week. Flag staff is becoming an exceedingly popu- lar summer resort with Phoenicians. This is as it should be, and only goes to prove that the people of this valley know q good thing when they find it out. Moreover, all those who have returned, after spending month ol more there, speak in the warmcsi terms of its people. They mention in grateful terms the courtesies and marks of hospitality extended them during their stay;to say nothing oi the efforts put forth to entertain them. These, what may appear insignificant amenities, go "a long way 10 create !; bond of good will and friendship that only dies out with time. Communities are like individuals in that regard and it is sure to be of mutual adyan' lage. Herald.
