The Market street bank notified the police that the bonds had been offered for sale and Dr. Lee. the holder, was induced to call again.

NAVAL APPROPRIATION
Thirty-One Million Dollars for Marin
 Defense.

WASHINGTON, March "A. - The naval appropriation bill for the fiscal year which begins June 1, was com pleted today by the house committee on naval affairs and may be consid- cred by the house this week. The total amount carried by the bill is S31, ,611 ,034, of which s12, ,77O,133 is for increase of the navy. The appropria- tion is an increase over the amount of the last bill of about twenty-n.ne and a third million.
 For Mare Island, Cal, 92,2O4 is ap- propriated, including al extension of the quay wall, and s30,OO0 for a ship filters she'd
 Under increase of the navy the chief items are four new battleshfps and fifteen torpedo boats, the former to carry the heaviest armor and most powerful ordnance upon a disp,ace- ment of about 11,O00 tons and to have the highest practicable speed for yes se,s of their class.

 A NEW TELEGRAPH LINE LINE The Postal to Enter Phoenix. Bought the Santa Fe, Prescott & Phenlx Wires. A Move That Means Much to the Local Commercial
 interests.

Local Agent Ira P. Smith of the Santa Fe, Prescott & Phoenix Railway company yesterday received tele- graphic information from President F. M Murphy, now in Chicago, that he had closed a deal with the Postal Tel egraph company whereby the railroad telegraph line from Ash Fork to Phoe- nix passes at once into the manage ment of that great organization.
 This may be considered the best news that has been given for months to the business men of Phoenix. It not only means that the powerful competitor of the Western Union will be here installed to the ibetterment of rates, and possibly of service, but means the abolition of the short lines of private wire to Ash Fork and Mar icopa and Of their tariffs. Without a doubt the Western Union will now run loop wire from Maricopa to Phoenix, thus placing this city on the main line at main line rates. Thus will be saved many thousands of dollars to the com munity.
 The Postal now has two copper wires and superb equipment along the At lantic & Pacific, and the only thin g needful is the establishment of an of fee at Ash Fork. It is probable, how ever, that the Postal, as is usually its custom, will string an additional cop per wire to Phoenix for commercial business. There is every convenience for such change along the line of the railroad, the poles having been pro- vided with additional arms for such purpose when erected.

THE SOCIAL EVIL.
A Movement Against Its Concentra-
 tion in This City.

4 movement Against US COncenJfa-
 tion in This City
 The following statement and peti- %ion has been prepared by commit 'sea headed by E. F. Kellner, having the matter in charge:
 To all respectable citizens and tax payers of the Fourth ward, Pho anix, Ariz.
 In compliance win resolutions passed in your mass meeting this, your committee. appealed 0 the city council March 2S, 1896, to obtain a re- peal of resolution 27, which des.gnates Block fl as a special reserve for houses of prostitution. We failed to get re- lief, Lewis and Phillips voting to ad- journ and Dennis not voting. The city attorney admitted said resoIu- ton was unlawful. The city ordi- nances provide that all property own CTS renting fast houses, also inmates, are liable of a fine of from S10 to $500 daily, and that general reputation to the effect is sufficient evidence for the recorder to convict. It may be impos- sib,e to eradicate this evil entirely, but you owe it to your families, good order and common decency to remove the especial official stigma unlawfully placed upon the Fourth ward, and have the marshal and city officers com- pelled to execute the law. This com m.ttee was instructed to renew your petition at every meeting and if neces- sary to invoke higher authority, or file daily complaints till justice Is done, and we now ask all law abiding citizens to lend their aid and support at said meetings and to maintain the law.
 The signatures so far placed upon the petition are as follows: E. F. Kellner, Cal Ogburn, J. M Gregory, H. A. Hughes, w. B. Pratt, George H. N. Luhrs, L. J. Wood, Scott Helm, w. M. Nichols, Joseph Thalheimer, R. E. Mghtburne, B. F. Porter, John Y. T. Smith, W. D. Hammon, A. W. Byers, T. E. Irvine, A. Nj. Cohn, Frank Luke, W. T. Smith, G. H. Honshell, Jas. H. McClintock.

ground tnat, az the witness had said
the stick might be at his house in an old

10 the admissibility OF this evidence. and
Judge Crute postponed his decision until
the witness should have an opportunity
10 test his ability to tell colors by day
light.
Mr.. III. G. Fore. in brief examination,
said that Pokey Barnes and Ellen Gale
were barefooted on the day of the kill

Ellen Gale testified that Pokey wore a
blue dress that day, and that when she
returned to her house that evening she
saw a snag in II.
The testimony adduced by the Com
monwealth to-day Is regarded az very
damaging, If the points just mentioned
can be gotten before the jury. The prose-
