ENJOYED BY ALL.
Brilliant Reception at the Hotel Ad-
 ans Last Night.

The reception to the delegates and the general public at the Hotel Adams last night was brilliant finale to the sessions of the fifth national irrigation congress. Through the courtesy of MT. Adams, the immense building was transformed into a promenade ground, and throng of people passed through the entrances and inspected the spa cious floors. Many expressions of ad miration for so splendid structure were indulged in, and there was gen eral handshaking, forming of new and pleasant acquaintances, and jolly time all around. The orchestra played choice selections to add to the pleasure of the occasion. A special place of interest was the chamber of commerce quarters, where Secretary Bruce Per | ley was on hand to answer questions and extol the wonderful richness and productiveness of the Salt River val
 ley. The display itself spoke elo-
 quently for this agricultural beauty spot.
 The presence of Governor Franklin
 and his staff added dignity to the oc-
 casion. Indeed, probably never before
 in the history of Phoenix has there
 been so rare gathering of beauty and
 brains. Men distinguished in their
 professions and notable as workers in
 the irrigation cause were in attend
 ance and they seemed to thoroughly
 enjoy the restfulness of so hearty and
 wholesome a reception, unhampered
 by social forms. The irrigation con-
 vention had resolved itself into a so-
 ciety convention and there was no roll
 call
 delightful feature of the evening was the singing of Miss Celia Fischer of New York, who has well-trained voice of rare sweetness. Her singing } was rapturously received.
 After the general reception the fold , ing doors connecting the dining room , and ladies' parlors were thrown oper for dancing, the commodious dining , hall being cleared and the floor wei waxed for the occasion.
 The music for the occasion was fur } nished by Feuerstein's excellent or ! chestra. Judge c. c. Wright of Cali fornia acted as floor manager, an( } performed that office uncommOnl! well. The spectators were seated along } the walls of the hall and those tha did not participate in the dance en joyed the gay scene before them. Con } spicuous among the dancers was Mayo Monihon, who tripped the lightsom' toe with an ease and grace that would

 Very little business was transacted in the district court yesterday. The case of Baldwin and Stowe vs. c. T. Adams was dismissed by agreement between the parties; R. Gill vs. Sophia Andree, judgment for plaintiff; w. H. Jensen, administrator, vs. Jones & Byers, judgment rendered for Byers; Valley bank vs. Thomas Parish, treas urer, on motion leave was given de- fendant to amend answer.
 Tonight the Woodmen of the World will move into new quarters in the Smith building, corner of Second av- enue and Adams street. To commem- crate the event the jolly Woodmen aided by their auxiliary lodge, the Women's Circle, will tender their first annual reception to their friends. On the occasion a most entertaining pro gramme will be rendered by excellent vocal and literary talent. A banquet will follow, the whole to conclude with dance.
 Small boys and some not so small have found great diversion lately in clambering upon the rear ends of the electric cars while the conductors were engaged in collecting fares, and jerking the trolleys from their places. The nuisance became intolerable, and as there was danger of electrocution to
 the boys, the conductors appealed to the police. The officers last night laid
 for ''de gang" and captured Francis Butts at the corner of Seventh avenue
 and Washington street. His father
 went his bail, and the boy will explain
 to Justice Johnstone this morning.

SUSAN B. ANTHoNY's THEORY
Thinks Gas Was Turned on Witho
 Mrs. Cooper's Knowledge.

ROCHESTER, N. Y., Dec. 17.-Susan B. Anthony, president of the National Womans Suffrage association, who spent the summer and fall campaign ing in California, was pained to learn, upon returning here from Boston, of the sensational death of her friend, Mrs. Sarah Cooper of San Francisco. She said: Mrs. Cooper and I were very intimate friends Her friends did not in any way desert her, as al legged, because of her action in the Brown matter. They all believe as I do, that nothing can be said praising her too highly, I saw her a month ago and at that time she was not breeding over the snubs of former friends. Her daughter, Hattie, was suffering from nervous prostration and melancholia, the result of overwork and breeding over the suicide of her father several years ago. I think the report that Hattie turned on the gas without her mothers knowledge the true one."

THE EARTH SHOOK.

Violent Earthquakes in England and
 on the Welsh Coast
Arizona republican., 1896-12-18

LONDON, Dec. 17.-The most vio- lent earthquake ever experienced in this country has shaken every shore from Durham to Surrey and from Lon don on the Welsh coast. The subter- raneous disturbance was first noticed about 5:3O this morning and lasted from four to thirty seconds. At many points two distinct shocks were experienced. The most severe shocks were felt at Chelton, Ledbury and Dean forest. The earth shaking was accompanied by loud, rushing sound. Buildings were violently shaken, fur niture shifted and doors thrown open.
 The shocks were followed by tremor of the earth, and the greatest alarm prevailed everywhere. Chim- neys were overthrown and windows, etc., smashed. At some points on country roads persons were thrown down, also a number of people were thrown out of bed.
 At Hereford the cathedral was seri- ously injured. There was dull rumb ling beneath the earth's surface which was followed by two loud crashes and terrible lifting and rocking. The panic at Hereford was so great that one woman died from fright People rushed wildly into the streets, many chimneys fell crashing into thorough fares, all the pinnacles of St. Nicholas church toppled over and part of the pinnacle of the cathedral fell At Liverpool the earthquake was preceded by heavy thunder and a fear full hail storm.
 In London the earthquake was only slightly felt.
