THE PRISON CONTRACT.
i atsly Arisen Complications Have Been
 Swept Away.
fFron the phenlx RepubIiean.l

From the Phoenix Republieah'i
 The complications attending the nrison contract have been adjusted and work will bo begun on the State of Arizona Improvement company's canal in about two weeks. Mir. Engene 5. Ives returned yesterday morning from a visit of six weeks in California: He called upon Governor McCord in the afternoon and discussion of the modi- fications of the contract proposed by the governor immediately took place.
 When Mir. Ives made formal de- mand upon the governor six weeks ago that the convicts be turned over to the company under the contract the gov ernor insisted upon the following modi- fications: That the company furnish bond that it would complete the canal; 1; that the compahy before beginning operations procure machinery to the amount of $20,0 900.
 Said MT. Ives, speaking of his inter- view with the governor yesterday: We regarded the notifications upon which he insisted as hard and unusual. I have never heard of corporation be- ing required to offer bond for the success of an enterprise in which it was engaged. Such bond has never been required of railroad companies which have been made beneficiaries of great government subsidies. The re- auirement of machinery of So great value also seemed harsh. So much machinery has never been employed iu the construction of an irrigating enterprise in either Arizona or Cali fornia. However, the proposed modi- fcation was not permitted to become an obstruction. We have bought ma chinery of the value of $25, 900, as we will require it in the course of construc- ton. But we believed that this machin- cry in itself should be considered bond, cash bond, an earnest Of our good faith and confidence of our enterprise. 1t will be worthless to US fer any other purpose than tbs construction of our canal. I presented this view to the governor, and further, in lieu of the bond upon which he had insisted for the completion of the work, submitted this guarantee; That for the number of convicts employed we would do twice as much work. That is, estimat ing, say, that 100 convicts could be ex- peeted to excavate a certain number of of cubic yards daily, we would guar anty an excavation of twice that much.
 "This guaranty and our views regard ing the character of the machinery as bond, met the governors approval.
 "There were other notifications pro- posed by the governor affecting only the phrasology of the contract. I agreed to them readily and so all obstacles to the beginning of operations have been removed"
 The machinery will be shipped at once from Marion, O., and will arrive at Yuma in about two weeks. Mir. Ives left last night for San Francisco and will return about the middle of this month to superintend the com meneement of construction.

Gov. McCoRD has appointed Ex-Gov. L. c. Hughes to be chancellor and re- gent of the University of Arizona, vice Rev. Howard Billman, resigned. This appointment will cause much comment, favorable and otherwise, but the TRI- BUsE predicts that Gov. Hughes will make an excellent President of the University. He made good Governor, much to the surprise of his enemies, and there is no reason why his admin istration of the University will not also prove success, as he is an educated and braiSy mar of fine executive ability.

Judge Sloan opened court yesterday morning at ten o'clock, for the purpose of hearing the report of the jury in Jordan ct al. vs. Schuerman case. the jury having placed sealed verdict in the hands of the foreman Saturday afternoon. The verdict was for the de- fendant. The suit was over the title to 5.66 acres of mining ground near the United Verde Copper company's mines. It IS generally understood, or believed that ". A. Clark and Marcus Dalv are the powers behind the throne in this litigation. If this is the case, and the schuerman title is fully and finally quieted, Daily may invest in the Jerome neighborhood on 8 very large scale. Whether this ends the litigation over this property is not known, but the popular impression is that it does not. II Prescott Courier.

SANTA CRUZ, Cal, Sept. S.-George F. Plyler, recently convicted of having committed mayhem on the person of Harris, of San Jose, appeared before Judge Smith and was sentenced to im- prisonment at San Quentin for term of fourteen years. The attorney made a strong appeal for elemency, but Judge Smith remarked that owing to the atrocitY of the crime he could not see any good reason why elemency should be exercised. Plyier took the sentence coolly but blanched when the spectators applauded. At tine close of the proceedings, in view of the fact that the jury recommended the defendant to mercy, Plyler's attorneys wifi ap- peal from the order denying him new trial and stay of proceedings.

lYl SON gave satisfied glance about
the room; she assured herself once
more that all was in readiness. There
were the tablessand the chairs. the pens
ana the ink, the stamps, the patent en-
velope moisteners, the Social Register,
and, last of all, which her eyes turned
in fond pride, the neat piles of daintily-
printed pamphlets-the appeals upon
which were pinned the hopes of the
West Side Exchange for Gentlewomen
the appeals that were to magnetic
the dollars from the pockets of the very
misers.
Mrs. Amanda Hemingway Mason, the
president of the society, certainly had
every right to feel satisfied, for she had
been committee of one to attend to the
preparation of these appeals. Not only
had the florid sketch of the society's
rise and progress emanated from her
pne, and the many-sided and irrefraga-
BILE arguments for its continued sup
port, but to her sense of the fitness of
things were due the size of the PAM
phlet, the width of the margin, the ap-
pearance of the cover, the selection of
the type and the color of the ink. Not
single detail of workmanship had es-
capped her eye. In the thousand and
one little matters that constantly arose
between her and the printer she had felt
delicious and novel thrill. She had
always cherished secret ambitions in
literary way. In the correction of the
proofs (both galley and paged) thers,
had been vouchsafed her breath of thn
divine affiatus. =
And now at last the great work was
done; the little books were ranged in or
derly piles and lay ready to be slipped
iato their envelopes and sent abroad
upon their triumphant mission. Each
