Engine No. sos was ditched Monday
morning under strange circumstances.
Fred Balch, ,age Is years, night caller at
the round house. whose youthful mind
was dwelling on being an engineer. saw
an opportunity to put his minds thoughts
in practical operation Fred conceived
the brilliant idea of taking the engine
from the round house to the main track
and hitching onto the train destined for
the east. aud thus save the engineer the
trouble of walking to the round house
Whatever reflections were on the young
mans mind are unknown to us; but he
pulled the throttle and the engine was
soon on the way. and beyond the control
of the amateur engineer. 1t is said that
the throttle valve got out of fix and by
neither pulling nor reversing the engine
could the young engineer check the wild
| ness of the engine, which had attained a
speed of Is miles an hour. Engineer
Miller passed the engine on the way to
the round house for his engine, and see.
ing the predicament of young Balch,
followed to him to jump off the engine,
aud he did SO in time to save his life, be-
cause the engine had ut this moment ran
off in an open switch, and made a ''wild,
mad lunge" Into the ditch,:' as the ex
preston goes, and turned onto its side.
AT the end of this track the ground is
soft from recent filling, and it was per-
haps an easy matter for the engine to
careen or topple over.
The boy says his hands were burned
by the steam aud he could not handle
the throttle valve readily. 1t is an un-
fortunate thing for the boy, and it is q
costly experience. Sometimes it re-
quires great strength ut the throttle,
more than some boys have.

The City Council had ssstormy ses-

The City Council had ssstormy ses-
sion'' yesterday afternoon. Barometric
and thermometric conditions affect hui
man minds, hence the ''storminess. But
it was only slight zephyr that had a
humorous side to it. The agitation in
the council grew over a difference of
opinion in the division of the general
tax levy of 10 mills, some Of the coun-
Gil favoring mills for light and water.
In the afternoon the council had agreed
to the school levy of 10 mills. 10 pre-
vent the passage of the tax levy ordi-
nance some members of the council alb
sented themselves without leave, notably
MIR. Glack Of the Third ward. Mayor
Summersby got his :.royal blood up. and
ordered the city MAJ shall to bring the re-
creant councilman to the bar of the May
or's court. Gluck was found in hiding.
Marshal Rhodes arrested him and took
him before the Mayor. The right of de-
Lucrative and law passing assemblies to
fine members for absence without leave
is unquestioned. Mayor Summersby as
sumed his prerOgative and questioned
MIR. Gluck on bis dereliction when impor-
tant matters were before the august
council, and quorum was lacking. The
corpulent alderman failed to give a salts
factory reason for his absence, and the
Mayor fined him S25. His sturdy char
acter manifested itself when Mr.. Gluck
refused to answer to his name when the
roll was called, stating that he was under
arrest and was denied his official rights.
Mayor Summersby said he would release
him from arrest and allow him to cast
his vote. A broad laugh awakened the
echoes in the council room when Mr..
Gluck's fine was RENTED, and he stood
again in his sovereign right, S feet high,
in full girth of eight feet. abundant adj
pose, equability of mind, and the tre-
mendious strain and indignity Of arrest
removed.

fornia Jack the owner of $1,000 in coin,
safely lodged in the Hibernia Bank at
San Francisco-the event of his present
association with the chaingang ADDS an
other chapter to a very remarkable life
story.
Jacks name Is John Eugene Hewitt.
The small fortune now awaiting him in
the Hlbernia Bank was deposited by him
in Mooley & RialPs Bank at San Fran
cisco twenty-one years ago. The bank
failed soon after that and Jack thought he
had lost his money for all time; so he
went back to his first love, the sea. For
seventeen years he roamed over the world
as only deep-sea sailor can, and then he
turned landlubber again and wandered
down to Arizona. Here he soon developed
passion and a capacity for strong drink
that easily gained him ent-ee to the best
iails and the most exclusive chaingangs.
On Monday week ago, when the San
Fran cisco papers arrived, Jack happened
to be sober, for the exigencies of his i'm
poverished priyy purse made it essential
for him to straig hten up at times and earn
enough money to pay his bar bills. In
these papers was an advertisement of the
Hibernia Bank, making inquiry regard
ing the whereabouts of certain depositors
OF the old Mooley & Riall bank. 1t ap-
pears that the Hibernia has recently come
into possession of property out of which
the depositors of the almost-forgotten
bank are at last to be paid. In the list of
depositors inquired for was the name of
John Eugene Hewitt, and California Jack
will have no trouble in proving his owner
ship of this name if he can succeed in
staying sober long enough to offer the
proof
Jack was born in the Emerald Isle more
years ago than he now remembers. In
1847 he shipped on the whaler Mohawk.
out of New Bedford, and on the 10th of
February, 184S, the Mohawk entered San
Francisco Bay and Jack went ashore. He
told his friends in the City Jail OF Phoenix
yesterday that there were no more visible
signs of a new postoffice for San Francisco
at that time than there are now.
After his whaling cruise JACK shipped
in the navy. He sailed in the old Yer
mont, on the Dakota, and on other ships
that he can remember only when entirely
sober. After the war Jack roamed again
and finally landed on the Pacific Coast.
where he tried his fortune at mining He
and a Frenchman located good mine in
Idaho and in 1876 they sold out for $4O.-
OO0 The Frenchman took his $40 900 and
returned to Paris, where he may now be
living in affluence, Jack deposited $17-
600 of his share with Mooley Il Rial, and
with $4,000 in his pockets started on a tour
up the coast. While at Portland he
learned that the bank had failed. 1t
never occurred to him that any thing could
be saved from the debris and he hastened
to complete the wreck of his fortune and
his health by drinking up what was left
of his $4,000.
When the money was all gone Jack en-
listed IN the navy again, and for four
years he sailed in and out from Mare
Island or worked at the yards. When
discharged from the navy he went back
to whaling and to roaming. How or why
he came to Arizona he does not pretend to
know. To-day he is as widely known as
any man in Phoenix. For a couple of
years or more he has been enjoying the

A Respectable Practitioner Must
Plead in the Police Court to
Charge of Petty Larceny.

Milo II. Gibson, a respectable attorney
at-law, and one of the quietest room ers in
a Geary-street lodgine-house, will have
to answer before Judge Joachimsen for
petty larceny this afternoon.
Gibson was passing Chris Oson's

day night, whereupon he seized five
gallon can of coal oil and carried it 10 4O3
Hyde street, placing it on the steps. Oson
and Policeman Dover arrested him, and
he was booked for petty larceny
He was so overcome that he swore he
would end his life if he could get a re-
volver. He begged the policeman to take
him to his room, where he had money
secreted with which to bail himself out.
At the station he at first declined to give
his own name, but finally did so, and was
soon bailed out by Isaac Brandt, at whose
office he works.
People who know ellison speak OF him
in the highest terms. He pays his debts
promptly and is considered the soul of
honor. Even the grocer and policeman
thoue ht 1t some thing very strange that so
respectable an appearing man would steal
a greasy oiIcan in so bold e way.
Gibson's ex PLANTATION to a CALL reporter
puts another phase on the case. He feels
greatly humiliated over the notoriety his
conduct has caused and gives the follow
ing explanation:
II had not been drinking for many
years." said he, "but on Saturday night 1
got a little too much, being out With
friends. While did not stagger or other
wise show signs of drunkenness / was
seized with an uncomfortable desire to
pick up that oilcan and deposit it on the
steps few doors away as a practical Joke
on the grocer. 1t was a foolish prank, a
silly and idiotic thing, but l did it on the
impulse of the moment merely as q Ike
and now 1 must stand the consequences.
1t was a dear lesson in drinking and i'll
practical joking, and I hope it is the last
