Barker Escapes.

Last Sunday at noon Jim Parker, the
 train robber, L. c. Miller and a Mexl-
 can, broke jail at Prescott and are now
 at large From the Prescott papers we
 glean the following: Jailor Meador was
 in his office alone when he was called 10
 the cell where the three men above
 named were and was asked to get them
 bucket of water. The jailor opened
 the cell door and allowed the Mexican to
 pass into the corridor to get the water.
 As the man passed behind the j4ilor he
 suddenly grappled with him and suc-
 ceeded in getting the keyes, with which
 he struck Meador on the head, cutting several ugly gashes, from which the
 blood flowed freely. Parker and Miller ran through the open door into the jail- OTIS office and secured rife, shotgun and revolver. All this time Meador was crying loudly for help. Lee Norris, as- sistant district attorney, heard the cries and was part way down the stars from the floor above when he saw Parker com ing out of the jailor's room with the shotgun in his hand, and turned to run back, but the train robber fired charge of shot into his back and side. He fell mortally wounded on the stairs. Miller and Parker ran up the stairs. passed over the body of Norris, through the hall and out the back way toward Sheriff Ruffner's livery stable. The Mexican released his hold of Meador and followed close behind the twain. At the stable Ruffner's best horse stood in the stall saddled. Parker appropriated it and the other two men ordered the hostler to get them horses, but they could only get one more and they mounted it double and the three rode off in southernly direc- ton. Fifty people, including the chief of police, saw them mount and ride away. A posse was soon organized and in pursuit and as the shades of evening were falling fight took place near the head of Lynx Creek, so the officers say. The blood hounds were put on the trail, but could not keep the scent. Deputies Sheriff Lovin and Harris and three h. dians went from Kingman to assist in the pursuit. All sorts of rumor is rife, but the chances are the outlaws will give the officers long, hard chase.
 Norris dled of his wounds Sunday night at 11.55 p. m. He was a brother of T. G. Norris, who is known to nearly every one in Mohave county, and was said to be a bright and no ole minded gentleman. Prescott is all torn up over the murder, and if the rascals are caught a lynching is sure to follow.

Firemeu Meet.

The Mount Holly fire DEPARTING nt helc
its annual meeting in the house of Coco
Intent Company, on Friday evening
Chief Engineer Job Collins rendered his
report, and election of officers followed
These were chosen
President, Robert s. Gaskill secretary
Joseph s. Shreve; treasurer, Maurice A
Rowan chief engineer. Job Collins Is,
assistant, Harry Hawkins, ST.; I'd assist
ant, Harris Glover; Sd assistant Maurice
A. Rowan.
Chief Collins alluded to the fact thai
this is his last year as head of the fremen
and he hoped that there might be a
parade and exhibition of the department
before he retires.
Attention was called to the action o.
the Water Company with reference to use
of plugs. 1t was stated that whenever a
plug is being used in front of an engine
house for the Purpose of sprinkling the
streets, representative of the company
would order it stopped. 1t is claimed by
the tiremen that the plugs are not flushed
often enough to keep the water clean fol-
supplying the steamers, and that the use
given them aids materially in that di.
rection.
A motion was offered that the fremen
take the matter in their own hands, but
after discussing the,ruestion it was decid
ed to appoint committee of five to wal
on the officers of the Water Company and
talk the matter over.

public schools last week, and there are
more waiting to get in.
At meeting of the Board of Education
on Tuesday afternoon, Miss Ellie L. Far
rell, of Smithville, was elected teacher Tor
the balance of this school year.
The overcrowded condition of the

to be given the newly-elected teachers
have kept Principal Cook very busy, but
he is equal to the emergency. The town
has valuable Official in Prof Cook.
Miss Anna R. Burr has given up her
position as teacher in our schools for this
year. As there was an uncertainty as to
the length of time Miss Burr's injuries
would prevent her engaging in active
work, she deemed 1t unfair to the school
to keep matters unsettled and at her own
request she was released for the rest Of
the year.
The Board of Education of Mount Holly
at it last meeting, requested President
Melcher to express to Miss Anna R. Burr
the Boards sorrow for the suffering she
endures as result of a recent accident
with hope that she will speedily recover,
and to also convey to Miss Burr the
Boards appreciation of her interest in the
school manifested in her request that she
be allowed to retire this year, an action
she deemed to be for the benefit of the
school.

Honoring Aaron,a Memorr.

The pupils of Rev. Samuel Aaron, the
founder of Freemount seminary of Nor
ristown Pa, last week fifty celebrated the
rounding out of half century since their
venerated teacher commenced his work
amongst them. They met on the banks
of the Schuylkill in Upper Merton town
ship, Montgomery county, Pa, and
many kind words were said of the earnest,
able and somewhat cratic teacher who
had rendered such essential service to the
pupils of his school,
Mr.. Aaron was not only great teacher
in his limited sphere, but he was a great
sgitator. He was one of the early anti
slavery champions when to be an Adolf
ZIONIST was to incur the odium of most,
even fair minded men of every political
faith, but he was brave as he was earnest
in defense of his convictions, and his
memory is to-day revered by his pupils
as much because of his courageous fidelity
to his belief as because of his services as
! teacher.
An incident in Mr.. Aaron's public ca
reer that was omitted by those who spoke
of him at the half century celebration is
we'll worthy of record. He was delegate
to the first Republican State convention
ever held in Pennsylvania, and by one of
his sudden outbursts of eloquence he con
trolled the action of the convention and
nominated candidate for Canal Com
missioner, the only Office then to be filled
who had not been thought of by the po-
litical leaders who were shaping the action
of the body.
| The convention was held in Pittsburg
in the summer of 1855, and was the first
organized body of Republicans in the
State of Pennsylvania. After general con-
ference among the leaders, it was deemed
expedient to nominate tor Canal Commits.
sioner Peter Martin, Lancaster, who had
received the American nomination for
that office but just before the vote was
about to be taken, Mr.. Aaron rose and
nominated Passmore Williamson, who
was then in prison for contempt of court
in a fugitive slave case. His speech, al
feryent as it was eloquent, came like {
thunder clap from an unclouded SKY, anC
before he closed the convention was ready
to nominate Passmore Williamson witt
the widest enthusiasm.
Mr.. Aaron and Mr.. Williamson hav,
passed to their final accounts along Will
most of those who we're active in the pub
lie affairs Of that day, but the men of ag
gressive conviction on the slavery issu
who braved public opinion at that time
have their memories to-day more revere,
than the many thousands of others VIII
followed them and won distinction as fol
lowers rather than as leaders in the grea
cause of human freedom.
