patrant,s Last 1oaa Gona.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. Slate this afternoon the supreme court disposed of the last hope of ". H. T. Durrant, the murderer of Blanch Lamont and Minnie Williams, by disposing in sum- mary manner of his two appeals. In a written opinion from the pen.of Chief Justice Beatty, which is concurred in by all but one cf his colleagues, the court afirms the judgment of Judge Bahrs in remanding the prisoner to San Quentin until the date set for his execution, but reverses that resen- tencing Durrant to be hanged on Nov. II, and remands the case to the su- perior court with Instructions to pro- ceed according to law. As remittur was ordered issued forthwith and the court holds that the execution can only be stayed by the issuance of certi- ficate of probable cause it only remains to re-sentence the condemned man. which will probably be done to-mor- row. Justice Garoutte dissented from his opinion, maintaining that Durrant's appeals should have been dismissed as the time required by law for their perfection had been allowed to lapse.

RAILROAD RuMoRs.
Probability that Work on the Extension of the Santa Fe to Florence Will Be-
 cin in Few Days.
[From the phoenix Gazette.l

|
 For some days past rumors have prevailed that the Santa Fe, Prescott x Phoenix railroad people intend to start work on line of road extending from Phoenix to Globe, Arizona, with i branch south to Florence.
 Local officials of the company, when , questioned as to the truth of the re- port, deny any knowledge of the ex- tension. From other sources 1t IS learned, however, that there is reason to believe that the rumor is founded on fact.
 The story goes that the road will be built to Mesa City, distance of twenty miles, as a starter. Work will be com menced in month or six weeks. None of the contracts for grading or con struction have been let as yet, but de- lay in this respect will not be vital. The officials of the line ain to begin work before the six months specified in an act passed by the last legislature shall expire This will not be before March 16, 1s9s
 The Santa Fe, Prescott X Phoenix railroad company did not fle anotice of intention" to build the line of rail. road mentioned IL is understood however, that such notice was tiled by orfe;d., ,,ao,.la to x-bo,, flo Ca1fa E. officials can become successors.
 The importance to Phoenix of the proposed line cannot be overestimated. Mining interests in the territory to be opened up are among the largest in Arizona and have been conducted for years under serious disadvantages on account of lack of shipping facilities All this would be changed by rail- road. The Santa Fe system proper has line extending to Silver City, N. NJ. The gap between Globe, Arizona, and Silver City is not an insuperable one and when filled in, which is logical sequence, will give direct east and west line into Phoenix. It is we'll known that San Diego people have been talking of building line from there to Phoenix. Thus, it..is to be seen, large results are apt to flow from the effects of the first strokes of the pick and shovel brigade in. building to Mesa City.
 Arizona is undergoing an era of de- velopment. Mining operations are ex- banding more rapidly than ever before and the products of the farm are being eagerly sought after and are bringing high prices. The extensions indicated by the probable move of the Santa Fe mean increased demand for nativsp pro ducts and hence increased enriehnent of the farmer, sroekgrower and the wholesale merchant.

A Society Note.

An Atchison, Kan, man thus writes to local paper, withdrawing from so- ciety and leaving it to shift for itself:
 "When I have been out late at night, attending social function, suffer so much with cake headache the next day that am the mesnest man in town, and often wonder that some one does not beat me to death. I am unfair, quarrelsome, and contemptible in every way, and do not blame people who hate me. ThereforeI have permanent ly retired from society, and shall in future go to bed every night at 8 o'clock"

Ruins of an Unknown City Many Cen
 turies Old Discovered.

The ruins of an ancient city many cen- turies old. inhabited by race whose name and origin has record in the annals of history, has been discovered in Guatemala. The shape of the drinking and cooking utensils found in the structures composing what was once evidently the resident portion of the city, and the ehalices and other sacred vessels in the temples and fanes- are entirely devoid of the characteristics of Azte co and Toitec antiquity. But. however, they may vary in these particulars from other ancient articles they bear 8 general rese erablauea to the effects of Hostefferfs sfomnch Bitters inasmueh as they have woll served tho pur- pose for which they were made. The in- effectiveness of the ancient griping remedies of the piiarmacopoeia for constipation, for example, as contrasted with the thorough painless action of the Bitters is very marked. This superb alternative remedies and pre- vents chiils and fever, rheumatism, nervous ness dyspepsia and kidney troubles.
