He Had Heard Her Saw So.

That it is only a step from the sublime
20 the ridiculous is we'll illustrated by
the following amusing incident that
happened few Sabbaths ago in we'll
known church, and caused no little mer-
riment among the teachers. The super
intendent was telling the wee small
folks OF the custom in certain countries
OF claiming the prisoners hands and
feet together. And, " she asked, "don Z
you suppose that if some one came and
released them they would be very happy
and grateful?''
1t was unanimously agreed that they
would.
And, continued the superintendent,
coming to her point, Jesus was sent to
the world to release people from their
sins. Are any Of you here bound with

THE 400-YARD LIMIT.
The Proprietor of College Place" Ar
 rested Yesterday

c. D. Ward was arrested yesterday morning, charged with violating the "4GO-yard limit" law passed by the Seventeenth legislature He is the proprietor of the lodging house known as the College Place, immediately north of the Central school building. So that if he should be found guilty his violation of the law would be es- pecially heinous, since his house is situated not only within 400 yards of public school building, but within less than forty yards of the center of the Phoenix public school system.
 The complaint against Ward was signed by Constable John Beck. though the real complainants are neighbors of College Place." who say that he is renting rooms to noto ious women for immoral purposes. It is not charged by the neighbors that Ward is cOnniving at immortality, but that his recklessness regarding the character of his tenants is reprehen- sible. The 400-yard limit law has never been given a square test in Phoenix if it has had one anywhere It was passed for the especial benefit Of Phoenix, but not so much for the purpose of purifying the envir onment of the schools as to make the school house a fulcrum upon which a lever might obtain a purchase for remov- ing the dens of vice which used to disfgure that part of the city in the neighborhood of Monroe and First streets and Van Buren and First. A radius of 400 yards was believed to be long enough to sweep all the ob jectionable houses.
 Most of them were vacated upon the passage of the law. A few womar held out and were arrested The first case was dismissed, but the de

fendant was immediately rearrested. She was given to understand that in spite of a friendly magistrate, her ar rest would occur on every day that she remained within the educational precinct A compromise was effected. She was permitted to move out un- punished and the law was vindicated
 In the Eighteenth legislature a fruitless effort was made to amend the law so that the limit would SUI = round private and parochlai schools, as well as public schools. This was a Tucson measure, designed to reno- vate a certain district there far b7- yond the public school limit, but in close proximity to a private school.
 Wards case will be tried in Jus tice Johnstonesi court at 2 o'clock this afternoon.

The Third ward republicans nom;- mated winner for councilman last night. He is John I. Brooks. The mass meeting at the court house was well attended.

Mr. Brooks was put in nomination for councilman. There were no other nominees and his nom ination was made unanimous. There. are always two kinds of unanimity. One is the apathetic, the go-bv-default kind. The other is the enthusiastic sort. This latter was the kind that was prevalent last night

WAS HE INNOCENT OF MURDER A Man Set Free Who Was Once Saved
 From the Gallows.

Harrisburg, Pa, Get 26.-An inter estinS case was decided by the board of f1uRs this evening Silas R. Gray, convicted of murder in West moreland county in 1877 and sen fenced to death, which sel:ence! sub sequently was commuted to life inn prisonment, will now go free. Mrs. Mary McCready had mys-eriously dis appeared and fifteen months later some boys fishing in I stream on the boundaries of Westmoreland county found a skull, which the coroner de cided was that of the missing woman. and Gray was brought to trial from the penitentiary after having served a term for horse stealing. Just be- fore his trial Smiley Ward was tried for the atrocious murder of the Mean sisters. The jury surprised the com munity by bringing in a verdict of murder in the second dsgree. and the people were so incensed shat the iur- ors were threatened with mob ven geance. Under these circumstances Gray was brought to trial with four or the jurors in the Ward case sitting in judgment on his case. He was con- victed and sentenced 70 death,
 Fffty-one of the lawyers of Vest moreland county and court officials asked a communication, but all appeals failed and the day for Gray's execu- tfon was fixed. George Fl. Welshons. newspaper man of Pittsburg. han pened in Harrisburg, ard, being a native of Westmoreland county. knew something of the Gray case. While looking over a Harrisburg newspaper WpIChnnS ip part of the paper about a postal card which was received by the editor from an illiterate stranger named Hiram BoWmaster. It was not dated from any place, and read:
 ''It Is all wrong to hang Silas Gray. as Jack Pettis confessed to me in the Western penitentiary that he done the deed''
 Welshons went to the newspaper of flee secured the postal card, had an interview with the railway postal su- perintendent in this city, got a clue from the almost iIlegible postmark on the card, and after travelling two days in snow storm discovered Bow master in the foothills of the South mountains. Pretending that he was counsel for Gray, he obtained from DoWhHdSCer all dIHudVII concerning the Pettis confession. Returning to liar risburg as quickly as possible, he had a midnight interview with Governor Pattison, who commuted the death sentence to life imprisonment. There was barely time to get to Greenburg before the execution, but the official document arrived in time, and Gray who had watched the carpenters erect his scaffold, was overjoyed at his es- cape.
 Two months before Pettis' sentence expired he hanged himself in his cell

because he feared being taken back to Westmoreland county for trial for the McCready murder His suicide prac- tically established the truth of his confession and confirmed Bowmaster' s story Welshons, the newspaper cor respondent, continued his efforts in Gray's behalf, and had the satisfaction of seeing a pardon recommended to- night.
