The Globe Commercial Club.

At meeting held at the Court house last night steps were taken preliminary to organizing a Commercial club, having for it's object the advancement of the material interests of Globe and Gila county. The call had been signed by 62 prominent business men and citizens, most of whom attended the meeting.
 J. s. Sniffen was chosen temporary chairman and N. l.. Amster temporary secretary. Mir. Sniffen then addressed the meeting, explaining the purposes of the proposed organization, and the benefits which would rebound if it were properly supported and energet- ically managed. MT. Amster and others also spoke briefly, and upon Q vote being taken every person present declared himself favorable to the for nation of the club. The chair then appointed a committee of six to draft bylaws and regulations to govern the organization, to be submitted at meet ing called for next Monday night.
 The idea of forming Commercial club in Globe originated with N. l.. Amster, and through his energetic efforts the project has been successfully inaugurated.

The BulIitt-RalstOn Wedding.

San Francisco papers of August 20 devote considerable space to the mar riage of Dr. Jas. B, Bullitt, of Louis vile, Ky, to Miss Clare Selby Ralston, daughter of Mir. and Mrs. A. J. Rals- ton, celebrated August 10 at St. Paups church, Oakland, Cal. The Chronicle says. 'sThe event was one of the mo- table ones of the season, and society, which has made much of Miss Ralstop, was present to witness the marriage. The decorations were elaborate, and in their dainty arrangement had trans- formed the church into bower of greens and pale colors. Just at noon the organ poured forth Mendelssohn's Wedding March," and the bridal party entered. The ceremony was inn pressive, and was conducted by Rev. Robert Ritchie, after which Bishop Nichols pronounced the wedding bles- sing and concluded the service. The bride was the object of general admir- ation. She was attired in an elegant gown of rich white satin, made very simply. The bodice was plain the long wrinkled sleeves had small puffs on the shoulder. Her long tulle veil, falling to the hem of her gown, was fastened by delicate wreath of orange blossoms. A reception was given at the Ralston mansion, at 1i10 Madison street, immediately after the ceremony and the bride and groom received in a bower of ferns, palms and roses. Mir. and Mrs. Bullitt left for the East on the overland train They will pro- ceed at once to their future home in Kentucky"
 Dr. Bullitt was resident of Globe during the year Is93-94 and is kindly remembered by his many acquain- tances, who wish him much happiness and prosperity.

Bitten by a Rattler.

On Tuesday night, at his home above town, s. A. Russell was bitten by a rattlesnake on the left arm, between the elbow and wrist. He entered the house about 9 o'clock and without lighting lamp, went to bed on pallet on the floor. As he laid down, his arm, which he allowed to fall carelessly beyond the bed, came in contact with the snake coiled upon the floor, and almost instantly the reptile sank its fangs into his arm.
 As soon as his wife procured a light, Mir. Russell shot tLe snake, and that done, he turned Lis attention to his wounded arm, around which cord was tightly bound to prevent the circulation of the poison through the system. To extract the venom section of the snake was cut open and applied to the wound and afterwards n freshly killed chicken was bound on the injured arm.
 Having faith in whiskey as an adtidote, Mir. Russell drank what he had III the house and sent to town for more. He declares that by five o'clock the next morning he had drunk gallon and a quart of whiskey which apparently had no more effect upon him than so much water. Mir. Russell was able to be about yesterday, although his left arm was swollen and benumbed, and his body sore and stiff all over.
 This is not Mir. Russell's first expert ence with rattlesnake. Fifteen years ago he was bitten by one on the left hand, from the effect of which he has never fully recovered. Strange to re- late, every year in July the old scar becomes inhamed and the hand and arm swollen, and for several weeks he suffers almost as much as he did at the time the injury was inflicted.
 As Mir. Russell's system had already been inocculated with the poison of the rattle snake, it may be that the infic- tion of Tuesday night will not affect him more seriously.
 The Russell funiily is certainly unfor- tunate in experiences with beasts and reptiles. One night last week J. F. Russell, son of c. s. Russell, was attacked by lynx, weighing 45 pounds, at the lime kiln near his home. While he was in recumbant position the lynx sprang upon him and sank his teeth and claws into his right foot. Young Russell jumped up and with his right foot on the lynx's neck, held the vicious beast until companion killed it with club.

A ROUGH EXPERIENCE.
Captured by Rustlers and Taken to
 Sonora.

PA. Lindsay whose long absence from home caused his wife and friends much uneasjness, returned to Globe last night, and relates thrilling exs perience. He left here July 20, for Fort Thomas, expecting to be gone ten days. Having finished his business at Thomas, and when about to start on the return trip, he was approached by white man who offered Lindsay $40 to take him and three companions to Bisbee, which Lindsay finally agreed to do, and started the following morn ing.
 Lindsay was paid $25 in advance and nothing unusual occurred until when within few miles from Bisbee, the man who had all along acted us spokes- man, suggested that they camp for the night. Lindsay at first demurred but finally consented to do so, and was about to stop when. he was told to turn into road leading to the south. Surprised, Lindsay turned to re- monstrate when he found himself look ing into the muZ2le of six shooter.
 Lindsay drove on. In fact he never stopped driving until next morning, and having crossed into Sonora, they came to cabin where they met two men mounted and heavily armed. Lindsay had been relieved of his money, S5T 50, and watch and chain, and after resting the horses, tour of the party drove off with the team leaving Lindsay with two of the men who had accompanied him from Fort Thomas.
 The following day they saddled hor- ses and rode some 20 miles or farther into the interior, where Lindsay was abandoned and left to his fate. For four days he was without food, and when about to throw up the sponge, he came to Mexican's cabin near the line, who directed him to ranch in the San Simon valley, and after many vicis- situdes he reached Bowie station, and took the train to Geronimo, thence to Globe. Lindsay feels that he is lucky to be alive, and we regret that we have not the time and space to do justice to his tale of woe, which would make first class material for dime novel, or fur nish the plot for blcod and thunder play.

Deer Creek Coal Fields.

J. P. Faull returned last Saturday from the Deer Creek coal fields. There are now about fifty men at the upper and lower field6, but there is no work of any consequence being done. Mir. Reynolds, the Southern Pacific expert, was there recently. It seems to be the general opinion that the Southern Pa cific company will get control of many of the most desirable claims, and if de- velopments warrant, build railroad from Tucson or some nearby point.
 Undoubtedly another strong com pany will be largely interested in the coal fields, and their operations are expected to be of far greater advantage to southeastern Arizona than the Southern Pacific's, as the coal would be used to operate mining and reduc- tion works, and cheap and abundant fuel would insure great prosperity to the mining industry.
 The survey of the line segregating the coal fields from the San c; rios res ervation will likely prove a more for midable undertaking than Mir. Logan has bargained for, as the line crosses the summit of Mount Turnbull, one of the highest and most rugged moun- tains in southeastern Arizona, and in fact the line for almost its entire length passes through a very rough country. The opinion is expressed that at least month will be required in which to complete the survey and erect the monuments marking the boundary.

The ladies interested in the improve ment of the cemetery, gave a lawn party on Monday night at the resi- dence of Mir. and Mrs. G. s. Van Wag- enen, the proceeds to be applied to the completion of the cemetery well. A double quartette rendered number of choice selections in pleasing manner, and the Mexican band furnished music for the dancers. Excellent refresh ments were provided and the occasion proved highly successful and enjoy able. The entertainment netted $54.
