EXPENSE OF HIGHWAY ACT
Bill for Issuance of Bonds to Garry Out Pro-
visions.
The Measure VIII Provide for nm Is
Assigned for the Action Taken.

There was an important conference OF
the Commissioners this afternoon concern
ing the features of bond bill to be pre-
scented to Congress, to provide sufficient
revenue to carry out the provisions of the
highway extension act.
The result of the conference was an or
der TO the attorney for the District to pre-
pare at once bill providing for the issu-
ance of S5SDVD in interest bearing bonds,
the bill to contain a feature providing that
one-half of the cost of the highway ex-
tension plan was to be borne by the United
States, ard that there would be established
a sinking fund for the redemption of the
bonds.
Auditor Petty and the attorney for the
District. Mr.. S. T. Thomas. together with
Mr. W. p. Richards. the engineer in charge
of The general plan of highway extension,
conferred upon the details of the bill. which
have already been approved by the COM
miSSiCnerS.
The Cost Incurred.
The estimated cost of the judgments for
damages in the three sections involved In
the carrying out of the provisions of the
highway act is SS,O0O.0OO. OF this about
$0O0.p0 under The law will be assessed as
benefits making the net cost to be paid
about SI.G0.00O. The bulk of this in in the
first section. amounting to about 5000. 000.
ceedingS have already begun, and, 1t being
mandatory that they be made at once it is
believed all the judgments will be prepared
by December.
Under the law. before July l. 1885, Con-
gress must make provision to pay these
Judgments. all the proceedings will fall
through. This confronts the Commission
ers with serious problem, a problem in
volving the collection of sSOoO.G00 before
the LIST of June, with some decrease from
this amount by reason of the benefits, the
first installment of which becomes pay
able about that time.
Surplus Revenues inadequate.
The surplus revenues of the District are
wholly inadequate to meet these demands,
even if the appropriation bills are no
larger during the current year than they
have been in the past. and 1t is a we'll
known fact that the appropriations are
far less than the needs of the District de-
mand.
AS example. 1t may be shown that
Congress has directed the paving of GER
tain streets al avenues. and further stip-
ulated that they shall be improved in the
order of rank on the adopted schedule.
The appropriations for this work are
small that the schedule is now about four
years behind.
Three Propositions.
The Commissioners are brought face to
face with three propositions. One is to
raise money by the sale of bonds another
to raise the money by increased taxation,
while the third is to abandon the entire
plan OF street extension. 1t is hardly neces-
sary to say their preference Is for a bond
bin. They believe il is thoroughly prac-
ticaDle and that II can be accomplished.
They are opposed to increasing the rate of
taxation. as much almost as they are to
abandoning the entire plan.

writing and other chirographical exhibits
to be used in the trial. He had brought
the negatives of these some sixty In all
with him, and after appropriate indentif-
cation they were put IN evidence as the
plaintiffs exhibits. Under cross-examl-
nation Kytka admitted that he was un-
der salary to the Fair estate.
There was some clever fencing in the
afternoon when Mr.. Mitchell recalled
Charles s. Neal, the former secretary Of
Senator Fair, to the stand and asked him
to identify the handwriting of the mil
lionaire in letter alleged to have been
written by the deceased. All OF the
samples so far introduced have carried
with them an explanation that they were
merely TO be used '.for com mparison." I"
They will naturally be handled and read by
the jury. Now it happened that this new
sample which Mr.. Mitchell wac so anxious
to put into the evidence had another vir-
tue, as it were, besides that OF being a
sample Of Fairs writing. It's wording
was such that, ifread by the jury, it might
tend to prejudice that body for it was a
treatise on rich mems wills.
The defense was awake, however, and
opposed the introd uction of the document.
And it was not until efter spell of de-
bate and after promise had been exacted
from Mitchell to the effect that he would
resort to no tricks, that the objection TO
the sample was Withdrawn.

THE ARIZONA MAK-HUKT.
Prescott and Ph@nx to
CAPTURE Him.

PRESCOTT, AR1z., May 12.-It is now
apparent that Parker, the escaped Jrain
robber, eluded the posses sent after him
from Prescott and Phoenix by swinging
toward the north, into the upper Verde
Valley instead of into Tonto Basin, where
he has many friends and where he was a
participant in the bloody Pleasant Valley
war. Assistant General Manager r. Z.
Wells of the Santa Fe, Prescott and
Phoenix Railway is taking the keenest
interest in the chase and has placed
several special trains at the disposal OF the
pursuers. Late last night, on application
of Sheriff Ruffner, special train was sent
TO Ashfork to take to Jerome Junction
trailed Parker down after the Rock Cut
train robbery. At midnight last night
the following Information was received
from Sheriff Ruffner:
ran Parker out of Lynx Creek Mountains
about 10 O'Clock yesterday morning; tralled
him to the Black Hills and stayed in the hills
last night. Think Parker saw US yesterday
evening lust before dusk. Tracked him about
for y-iye miles to-day. He could not have
been more than three hours ahead of US at any
time. His horse is evidently very ured ana
neither he nor his horse has had anything TO
eat for over fifty hours. Think we have q sure
thing in the morning.
PHOENIX, ARIz., May 12-Governor
Franklin to-day issued proclamation
offering $500 reward for the appre hension
of Parker, the murderer of Lee Norris at
Prescott; $500 for Miller, his confederate,
and $3.50 for Cornelia, the Mexican who
escaped with the others. Parker is sup
posed to be in the Black Hills, near the
Verde River, about twenty-five miles
north of Prescott; Miller to be hiding in
the Bradshaw Mountains, unable TO move
on account of his wound, and Corneiia to
have sought refuge with the Me1ica N
placer miners in Santa Domingo Gulch,
near Wickenburg.
Sheriff Orme will start posse from
Wicken burg tomorrow morning to hunt
the Mexican down. He has also set a
watch on all the trails leading out OF the
mountains southwark Parker now has
$4,000 reward on his head, the payment of
most of it depending on his conviction for
participation in the Rock Cut train
