name prior to the survey in 1854 of the international boundary line, while the locality was still a part of Mexico. The road from Tucson to Magdalena passed at this point number of wal nut trees, and these, called in Span ish los nogales, gave their name to the place in very early times.
 The board of supervisors of Pima county were in session Tuesday audit ing the quarterly accounts preparatory to turning over to the new board which will be installed the first of the year. The board also passed upon the suffic- iency of the sureties of some officials bonds. In the case of Treasurer-elect an application was made to have the amount of the bond fixed at $6O, ,00O but the board ordered that the mini mum amount of the bond could not be less than sSO,00O, the same as the bond of the present incumbent. It also appeared that as much as $90,00O has been in the hands of the treasurer at one time. The bond will probably be made up today. The board is using diligence in seeing that sureties on all bonds will be able to respond to the amount for which they justify ii called upon.

LIGHTER IN THE EAST.
Return of Messrs. Fleming and Ives From an Extended Business Trip.

Messrs. James A. Fleming and Eu- gene s. Ives returned yesterday morn ing from a business trip through the east, covering twenty-three states and including among others the cities of Denver, Omaha, Chicago, Washing ton and New York. Regarding the financial situation in the eastern and middle states, MT. Fleming said to a Republican reporter yesterday after noon: Though there has not yet been a marked improvement in af- fairs, business men are hopeful and confident of an early return of good times. It is true that there have been many failures of banks and commer- cial houses, but if significant of any thing those failures are regarded as significant of the result of past condi- tions rather than of those in front Of us. They may be said to be the tag end of the panic. They ought in the nature of things to have occurred long ago, but they have been holding on, hoping against hope of relief which has | not come soon enough. The approach I of the end of the year when adjust ments became necessary has caused suspension at this time. If they could have weathered this year and entered upon the next they might have gone | on indefinitely. A few failures, ! though, have occurred which have been due to purely local causes and in no way indicate a general financial con- dition. The hopeful feeling which is springing up now is in itself enough to bring good times.''
 | MT. Fleming says that Arizona is a much discussed territory throughout the east. He was told at the Santa Fe offices in Chicago that more inquiries are received there about Phoenix and the Salt River valley than about Los Angeles and southern California. The Southern Pacific people also say in- terest in this valley as health resort is constantly growing
 Messrs. Fleming and Ives returned by the Southern route and spent Christmas in St. Augustine, Fla. The weather was so cold that a heavy overcoat became necessity. Very few winter residents are there

AN ALLEGED CONSPIRACY.
An Unusual Incident in Police Court
 Yesterday Afternoon.

There was internecine war at The Gazette office on Tuesday night. The janitor came into possession of bot tie of whisky. There was apprehen- sion that it's conjunction with the stomach of the janitor would breed conditions out of which "pi' and gen eral disorder would spring. The book keeper confiscated the whisky and the disorder was prematurely precipi- tated. The janitor was finally sup pressed, but it took the whole force to accomplish it and he was taken to jail. He was tried yesterday after noon before Recorder Jobs. The de- fense was conducted by T. D. Molloy. It was rather ingenious, but unsuccess- full. It may be said, too, that it was very comprehensive, as it involved the Cuban trouble, as will be hereinafter explained.
 It was brought out on cross-eXami- nation that when the officer reached the scene of hostility in response to a breathless summons, that the janitor was in bed and asleep. He was ar rested on suspicion that he might wake up in the night and renew the trouble. ''Is it a part of your duty to go about town and arrest people who are liable to be troubled with insomnia?" was asked the officer. The following ques- tion was put to the witnesses for the defense: What are your views re- garding the Cuban struggle?" This was designed to be made the ground work for an allegation of conspiracy against the defendant, who had pre- pared speech which he was going to deliver at the Cuban mass meeting last night. The defense sought to show that the janitors arrest and de

tention had been procured by persons unfriendly to the Cuban cause It was said that MT. Leitch, who had caused the officer to be called, was an office holder under Governor Franklin and a warm personal friend of the execu- tives who, the defense said, had ex- pressed unfriendliness to the island patriots. Hence, it might be inferred from his association that MT. Leitch was similarly unsympathetic with the struggle for liberty. And so," said MT. Molloy, here's your conspiracy, whereupon the court observed, Ter dollars or ten days"

manslaughter and for furiously driving a

that q conviction for manslaughter could

The people of the District have long ago
learned to be thankful for what they re-
Ceive from Congress in the way of whole
some legislation from session TO session
instead of being over-regretful for what
has failed in the course CT business Were
the work of the session just ending TO be
measured by the valuable propositions con-
sidered 1t would indeed have been Won
derful session The results, however, are
the only tests of value and in the review
of the legislative year which appears else
where i'll today's issue there are many
evidences of a sincere desire on the part of
the committees of Congress to enact desir-
able laws for the benefit of the people of
the unfepreseuted District. Nearly forty
legislative propositions have been enacted
into law. making comparatively favorable
record. Many of these laws of minor
consequence of course but there are some
Of tie first Importance although the list
might have been greatly enriched by the
addition of few acts. the absence of which
this year Is a reason for special regret.
Among the more important propositions
that have passed upon the statute book
are the bill to regulate the practice of med
icine and surgery, which was sorely needed
in View of the peculiar conditions existing
in the District; the bill creating a free pub
lie library, an institution that should have
been established many years ago; the bills
defining the rights Of married women and
to regulat" marriages; the bill regulating
the price of gas, which, though not all
that the people had a right to expect was
yet reasonable compromise in view of all
the attendant circumstances; the bills es-
tablishing additional harbor regulations
and providing for the drainage of lots which
correct unfortunate conditions that have
Eeen developed in the past; and many other
matters of smaller moment that meet par
ticular emergencies and remedy them in a
generally satisfactory manner. 1t was
hoped AT the beginning of the session that
something might be done in the way of
legtslating the grade crossings out of ex-
istence but these propositions have never
gone further than the District Commits
sioner5' offices and all that is left is the
hope that at the next session something
practical and satisfactory may be evolved
for the abatement of these dangerous
nuisances. The District has Jared about as

parsimony of the House has been partly
offset by the more liberal policy of the
