RAILWAY CHANGES.
The Maricopa & Phoenix Will Cele.
 brate the New Year.

A new time table will go into effect this morning on both the M. &. P. and the Phoenix & Mesa City rail- roads. The former will leave Phoenix at 8 o'clock in the evening as at pres ent and arrive at Maricopa at 930 in- stead of 9:45 as at present. Return ing, will leave Maricopa at o'clock as at present and arrive at Phoenix at 8 o'clock.
 The Phoenix & Mesa City train will leave Mesa City at 6:15 and 1915 a. m., arriving at Phoenix at 7:15 and 11:15 a. m. and leave Phoenix at a. m. and 5 p. m.
 The Pullman car will hereafter not be run on the main line. The line is too short, it appears, and the hours are too early or too late to necessitate a sleeper and in its stead the company will run its comfortable chair car.
 Engine No. 3, one of the company's $ original ten-wheelers, has been com pletely refitted and rebuilt at the Phoe- nix shops and now, very picture of neatness, is doing good work in hand ling the Tempe & Mesa local trains. The roadbed, bridges and rolling stock are being placed in excellent condition by Manager Honshell and the best of service is to be secured.

THE SUSPICIOUS SEASON. Many Marriages to Be ChroniCled. Union of Will Rhodes and Fan nie Buford.
 
Young People Who Will Start the New Year in Double
 Harness.

The old year is brought to a close and with the commencement of a new year two young hearts that have been pierced by Cupid's unerring dart will have been launched on the sea of life ito them a new and holier life bound by letters entwined by Hymen and sanctioned in heaven. To them the universe is clad in brightest garb and the years that have gone will re- main as but 2 sweet memory; while their horoscope of the future is cast, and they see in the years to come and go a long line of perpetual sunshine and joy, unbroken by single cloud to darken the horizon of their happiness.
 The couple who will begin the new year as man and wife are Will B. Rhodes and Miss Fannie Buford, who last night at 7:30 o'clock at the Chris tian church were joined in the holy bonds of matrimony by Rev. Cal Og- burn.
 The wedding was very quiet, only a few intimate friends being present The church was prettily and artisti- cally decorated with palms and pep pers, while the sweet fragrance of flow CTS pervaded the place.
 Precisely at the appointed hour Miss Alice Frymire struck up the beautiful Lohengrin wedding march. While the merry peals of the organ were ringing the. bride and groom marched down the aisle followed by Misses Clara Blu ford and Adele HauXhurst, the brides maids. The bride was becomingly at tired in tan colored dress trimmed in brown. The bridesmaids looked lovely in creations of dark brown ma 4erial with trimmings.
 Arrived at the altar the young couple were quickly made one by the beauti- Gul and impressive service of the Christian church. Congratulations were showered on the welded pair and they were driven off to take possession of the pleasant home arranged for their reception corner of Sixth avenue and Van Buren street.
 The groom is son of J. P Rhodes and is manager of the Getz bicycle agency on Wall street By dint of perseverance, coupled with sunny disposition, he has secured place of trust and won the esteem and confi- dence of all who knew him.
 The bride is the youngest daughter of H. C. Buford, a weil-known farmer living a few miles north of the city. She came to this city few years ago and by her innate sweetness made hosts of admiring friends who one and all commend MT. Rhodes for his wise choice.
 The many friends of the couple will join with The Republican in wishing them the many returns of the season and long and prosperous voyage through life.
 About 10 o'clock the Troubadours, the ''T. o. S." and the Owls" three musical organizations to which Will Rhodes belonged, combined to sere- made him and bride at their Sixth avenue home.

Tucson Star: In the trial of D. Shepherd for smuggling, an attempt was made to throw doubt upon the character of the contents of the jug which the prosecution said was mes cal.
 What was in the jug?" was asked of one witness.
 q don't know" was the reply, "but I thought it was creosote."
 'Creosotep' echoed the lawyer. Do you know what creosote is?"
 "Yes," said the witness; fits that stuff they put into cocktails"
 Well" said the lawyer, regarding him with horror; ''I don't want you to mix any cocktails for me; wouldn't drink one of 'em for $1,000."
 The witness meant as he afterward explained "curacoa."
