SUPERVISORS SUED.
Emory Rays Brings Suit for Alleged
 Illegal Collections.

Emory Rays, on behalf of himself and other taxpayers of the county yes- terday filed suit against W. L. George, J. T. Priest and E. B. Kirkland, mem bers of the board of supervisors, to compel them to pay back to the county treasury the sum of $900 he alleges they unlawfully collected. The ae- count is itemized as follows:
 w. l.. George, the complaint alleges, on June 3, 1895, filed a claim with the board of supervisors for $100 as con- pensation for services as superintend- ent of the repairs made on the court house. The claim was allowed and the money paid.
 J. T. Priest presented a claim for $185 in April, '95, against the county for services as superintendent of the construction of the county road be- tween Phoenix and Tempe. He filed another claim in tJhe following June for $215, also for experimenting the construction of the county road be- tween here and Tempe. Both amounts were allowed and the money paid.
 E. B. Kirkland on January 14, '95, while acting as member of the board of supervisors filed and collected from the county the sum of $150 for super intending the construction of the new jail
 Tn March, 95, Kirkland exported the books and accounts of the county treasurer for which he presented a claim for $25O, which was allowed.
 The complaint further alleges that the district attorney was requested in April last to bring suit against the su- pervisors for the return of the money to the county and that he refused to bring the slit. Rays therefore brought the suit on his own account.

THE LOST NA!RONTC.
Discovery of Steamers Hull Bottom
 Up in Mid Ocean.

NEW YORK, Sept. 29.-Steamship men are puzzling their brains in an en- deavor to establish the identity of a hull which the English steamer Storm King sighted at sea, bottom up.
 The news was cabled to this side on the arrival of the Storm King at Ant werp.
 The master of that vessel says that when in latitude Al degrees north, lon gitude 51 degrees west, or pretty we'll in mid Atlantic, August 31, he sighted the hull of a steamer, apparently of about 4,000 tons, floating keel upward
 There were evidences that it had been drifting in that position for some time. The only vessel of that size which has been lost in the north At lantic within the last four years was the Naronic of the White Star line freight service, which left Liverpool February il, 1893, and was never after ward heard from except through a life boat, which was picked up and taken to Brazil.
 There is no positive information that the hull seen by the Storm King is the Naronic, but shipping men here are inclined to think it is what is left of the missing craft

ARTHUR WHITES FUNERAL.
The Remains of the Weather Observer
 Brought Here for Burial.

Mrs Arthur White returned yester- day morning from Prescott with the remains of her husband, who was killed Sunday in the Congress mine.
 The funeral was held yesterday at 8 o'clock from the undertaking parlors of Randall & Davis. Rev. Cal Ogburn conducted the services, both at the un- dertaking establishment and at the grave. The pall-bearers were Summer Hackett, Ira P. Smith, Bruce Perley, Thomas German, Walter Holbrook and G. Scott. Several friends of the deceased attended the funeral
 The exact particulars of the death of Mir. White are as follows: Mr. White and wife and another gentle man were visiting the mine under ground. They were on the way to the surface in an empty car when a runa- way car was heard rapidly descend ing the incline upon them. The gen tleman who was with Mir. White caught Mrs. White in his arms and jumped from the car to the side of the track. Both escaped unhurt. MT. White remained with the car and a Jew seconds after the runaway car col lided with the car in which MT. White was riding. He. was caught between the cars and both his sides crushed. Death must have been instantaneous.
 The cause of the accident is hard to properly place.. Some miners were loading a couple of cars on the 4OO- foot level of the incline It is thought that the wheel blocks must have slipped and the cars started downward on the run of destruction.

THE BENEt,CeNT CROW.
What He Does for the Farmer Despite
 His Reputation.

If farmers would make a study of natural history and it's bearings on their property-the relation of hawks to their hen coops, for instance-there would be better paying crops.
 The Year Book of the department of agriculture tellsss about COW black birds and what they eat. About 2,30o and of these 2,25S contained food. The birds were killed in 26 states. Forty eight per cent. of the food was animal, IS per cent. vegetable and four per cent. was mineral. The blackbird has variety of things it eats.
 "The animal food" says the report, consisted of insects, spiders, myria- pods (thousand legs), crawish, earth worms, sowbugs, hair snakes, snails. fishes, tree toads. salamanders (newts), lizards, snakes, birds eggs and mice.' To these might have been added young birds, fish cast up by the tide, minnows caught while swimming in shallow water, and probably meat and carrion of various kinds. Most of the animal food is, of course, insects. These con. stitute 46 per cent. of the total, the other two per cent. being the larger things, like mice. The animal food Is taken mostly in the summer. In win ter the food is mostly vegetable matter. The insects the bird kills more than make up the damage he does, especially as his nest robbing appears to be only an accidental habit not often indulged in. A large flock of the birds would of course destroy lot of grain. Some 5o,0O0 would eat about 5000 pounds a day, but they would consume as many insects, which would more than de. stroy the amount the birds do.

OLD LIGHTHOUSE.
Was Built by the Romans and Is Still in
 Good Condition.

Good Condition.
 The oldest house existing in Eng land is the Roman Pharcs or l;ghthouse, which still forms so conspicuous an ob- ject on the cliffs within the precincts of Dover castle. The masonry of this interesting work is composed of tufa, cement and Roman bricks, or tiles, and is in the best style of Roman workman. ship. History and tradition are alike silent as to the actual date of it's erec- tion, but, judging from the style of masonry, and bearing in mind that the erection of such a beacon would be practical necessity when once the Ro- mans had thoroughly established them selves in southern Britain, one may fairly ascribe it to date not much later than the middle of the first century, A. D., following on the expedition of Clau- dius, and the succeeding conquests of Plautius, who brought most of the island south of the Thames under the Roman domination. To the upper part of this lighthouse was added in Tudor times an octagonal superstructure, still remaining, although in sadly bat tered condition. The remains of lake dwellings, such as have been found at Burton Mere, in Suffolk, and near Glas. tonbury, in Somerset, are supposed by some to date back so far as 1900 B. C.; but, although these are built on piles, they hardly come within the meaning of the question.

PAU ONE Al A TIME.
Pennies Not Legal Tender in Amounts of
 More Than Twenty-Five Cents.

There is a postmaster in little town not far distant, who is noted for the amount of authority he is inclined to show in trivial matters. A short time ago, says the Mount Morris (Mich.) Union, a business man of the place ap- peared before the stamp window of the office and demanded 300 one-cent stamps, for which he laid down an equal lumber of pennies. Here was a good chance for the authoritative gentleman, md with view of teaching h;s impor- tance, he picked 25 pennies from the heap. handed out 25 stamps and showed the rest of the money to the wouic-be buyer with the remark that pennies were not legal tender there in amounts of more than 25 cents.
 Expostulation was in vain, the post master cited the law in the case and that seemed to settle it. With malicious gleam in his eye the buyer swept the re- maining pennies into his pocket and mildly inquired: q suppose can get a one-cent stamp here for penny, can't I?'' Certainly" sa,a the man at the window. "Then give me a one-cent stamp" said the other laying down the money. It was handed to him, and he demanded another and another after that. Several people had come in in the meantime, and were impatiently wait ing their turn at lne window, but the obdurate buyer A-pt on gravely buying one-cent stamps on the installment plan. Seeing determination in the face of the other, the postmaster offered to arbitrate, but it was of no avail. He continued to buy as long as his money lasted, and triumphantly departed amidst the approving smiles of the crowd.

"FORM" IN BICYCLING.
How Society People Go a Wheeling-At-
 tending Grooms and Maids.

tending GrOOms and Maids.
 The form of bicycling is beginning to be studied. Grooms on wheels must follow their mistresses as they did on horseback; it is probably only a ques- tion of a short time when the lady's maid will have to include wheeling with her other accomplishments to secure situation. On tine road the woman who wishes to ride la mode has to know a number of little things that are over looked by another woman, just as the smart set have a code for riding and driving that is as memorable as that they should not eat with their. knives or put sugar on oysters. Society in- sists on an upright position, with, of course, no attempt at racing pace. It also frowns upon constant ringing of the bell-that will do for the vulgar herd who delight in noise; the well-in- formed wheelwoman keeps eyes and ears alert and touches her bell rarely.

MONKEY LIGHTS MATCHES.
But Has Not the Intelligence to Kindle 8
 Fire with Them.

But Has Not the Intelligence to Kindle
 Fire with Them.
 No creature but man has ever made use of fire. An African traveller, indeed, has told story of apes making thiev- ing raid on camp of natives, and car rying torches to light their way; but this story lacks proof, and is not ac- cepted as true by zoologists.
 There is, however, says the Youths Companion, in the Philadelphia zoologi- cal garden monkey who has learned to scratch matches perfectly well. This accomplishment he is willing to exhibit on any occasion. He has learned to hold the match by it's middle part, so that his fingers are not burned by being too near the flame, and so that the match will not break by being held too near the other end.
 This fact involves another, that he is aware which end has the sulphur, and does not attempt tc scratch the unsul- phured end. He has furthermore learned that rough surface is better to scratch the match on than smooth one, and his care in looking for the rough places is very diverting.
 But with all these intelligences, the monkey has no notion of kindling an- other fire with the one that he has caused by the friction of the match. He simply lets the match burn out, and if he lights another, does it for the pleas ure of seeing it burn.
 This monkeys keepers, and the men of science who are experimenting with his intelligence, hope to communicate to him eventually an idea of fire making and using: but from the moment they succeed in doing so-if they ever do suc- ceed-it will be necessary to keep matches out of his reach.

CUMBERLAND, Md, Sept. 29- While Frank Gentry's dog ard pony show was exhl biting under large can. vas to 2000 men women and children here, a severe wind storm arose and wrecke d the canvas.
 In the mad and reckless effort of the crowd to get out children were knocked down and trampled upon. A half dozen police officers tried to stay the crowd, assuring the frightened people that they were in no danger, but their ef- forts were useless, and it looked at one time as if a number of lives would be lest. However, the crowd managed to escape without any one being seriously injured, although a number of children were more or less hurt.

AFTER THE ARMADA.
The Combination of Trade and Private
 Var Cnder Elizabeth.


 Var Uuder Elizabeth.
 The defeat of the Armada inspired England with energy and hope. Our people, says Blackwood's Magazine, be- came busy traders. Flemish traders had been ruined by war, Flemish refu- gees had focked into England, and Antwerp, the great port for new world commerce, had been sacked and taken. England succeeded to the trade of which the Dutch had been deprived. Beyond the ocean lay a vast world of wealth, of which Spain, united with Portugal, claimed the monopoly, thereby exclud- ing English commerce from the larger half of the planet. Systematic vio- lence-that is, the combination of trade with private war-was the only mode in which this monopoly could be at tackled.
 Elizabeth connived at this covert mar time war both before and after the Armada, and the struggles between Eng fish traders and Spanish monopolists were far too numerous and important to admit of peace between the two gov ernments. It was this spirit of com mercial adventure, whether it be called piracy or heroic attempt to rescue the new world from the inquisit on and give it back to the free use of tiE: human race, which was the first step in the de- velopment of three colossal grow ths- British trade, British empire, the Brit ish navy.

BOUGHT ANOTHER'S MUSTACHE. Paid the Price, But Failed to Get the
 

A singular story is reported from St. Calais. A few days ago several per sons were sitting at table in a local hotel, when the splendid mustache of horse dealer became the subject of conversation. One of the members of the party complimented the horse deal e1 and asked him for what price he would sell his mustache. "Ten francs," replied the latter, laughingly. q will buy half of them," said the would-be purchaser, placing five francs on the table. The horse dealer put the money in his pocket and later in the evening left the hotel. Not quite appreciating the joke, the man who was minus the five francs sought the aid of the county court process server, and having laid the informat ton in regular form brought action against the horse dealer for 5oo francs damages for non-execu ton of his contract.

The fields were covered with them, and nature accomplished in one night what it would take a large force of boys several days to do.

Statesmanlike Horse.

The successful horse-dealer is never at loss. Witness the following incident from an exchange: A young English man was negotiating with dealer fo1 horse. The horseman expatiated on the many good points of the animal under discussion.
 Tt seems to me, NIT. Muggins,' re- marked the young man, "that the horse has rather a big head.'
 The retort came at once: Big 'ead, big cad, do you call it? Why, look at Gladstone; what cad 'e's got!"
