celVeo, as he understood, $40 per
month each. The circumstance showed
that the average of eleven of the officials
must be very high, and he wanted to
know how it was divided, whether the
salaries were higher than they should be.
Supervisor Smiths motion was amended
by Supervisor Delany to provide that the
company be required to furnish the infor-
nation to the board in executive session.
Both motion and amendment were lost,
and Mayor Phelan asked the salary re-
ceived by the president of the company.
Attorney kellogg instructed the secre-
tary not to answer, on the ground that it
would endanger the interests of the COM
pany. He said, however, that the board
could send q committee to see the books,
and that it would be given free access to
them, provided the mem bers would give
their words not to make public what
they saw.
Mayor Phelan said he was familiar with
what was in the books, but wanted the
figures given as testimony so that it
would 60 on the record.
A motion by Britt to reconsider was lost

the negative. Chairman Dodge placed
the matter in the hands of the Water
Committee. Supervisor Rottanzi wanted
meetings held every day so that the
matter could be closed up by the end of

Return of the Tiburou Expedition

A friend at Guaymas, under date of the I7th, inst, writes THE OASIS as follows:
 "A few days ago the steamer "Rio Yaqui' left here with fifty soldiers for Tiburon island in pur- suit of the savages who murdered the two Americans on the junk "World." This morning the yes sel returned without having ac- complished anything I had a long talk with the captain of the steamer, and he said they did not see any Indians. They found the remains of the junk that the savages had attempted to burn, and brought back the anchor, and a piece of the mast, part of the bottom with the keel attached, pieces of sails, etc. They also found pair of shoes on the beach that they think belonged to one of the murdered men. They found five or six little mongrel pups playing around on the sand and brought them. They saw evi- dences of savages and fresh signs. There were quite a number of brush wigwams where they had been lat-ly; also evidences of fire recently extinguished. One barro was seen, but no cattle or horses. They searched everywhere for the bodies of the Americans but with no result The troops marched eighteen miles into and along the island. The island is high and preci- pitous with a heavy growth of brush and cacti. The steamer went through the channel between the island and the mainland. There is very little water in there, but the channel is very wide and shallow The steamer draws six feet of water and they got through with diff culty. They steamed clear around

the island. They found the junk in the channel "El Infernillo" about mile from the south en- trance. It was on the island shore. The POO troops that were sent from
 Hermosillo over land they did not see or hear of. From the looks of things there are quite a lot of the savages-upward of POO. They also brought lot of books, papers and documents belonging to the Americans, that they found scatter ed about.

Governor Russell's defense of himself
on account of his taking railroad passes,
is the weakest effort OF his life. Indeed,
it could hardly nav cost him any effort
at all. We have no sympathy with the
idea that every man who takes a rail-
road pas is necessarily a bad man, and
that his acceptance of it is prima facie
evidence of his ~corruption; but when a
man goes into a war upon corporations
for a steady business he ought to decline
their courtesies or at least make his or
gans stop declaring, from week to week,
that acceptance of these courtesies is
proof that the man is a hireling of the
corporations. What does the governor
passes in order to get even with Judge
Simonton and other people; that he has
rendered no equivalent for his transpor-
tation and doesn't intend to, but that he
propOSeS to beat the railroads out of
everything he can.-Charlotte Observer.

What a fine biographical sketch and
lima Presbyterian in memory Of the
Rev. DR.. Druy Lacy! It is in excellent
taste, sober, restrained, faithful. We
knew, we are glad to be able to say, the
admirable divine from our boyhood to
ear the close Of his most useful and
b~enignant life. We were in a class
with his son Horace, a gifted boy, at
Lovejoy's military academy at Raleigh
in 1S45. The doctor once or twice Wis
tied the academy and heard in part the
years We saw him frequently. He was
most gracious, sympathetic and always
CHEEKY. The sketch is exact in this par
ticular as we recall him:
"In personal appearance DR.. Lacy
was tall and of remarkably attractive
and imposing presence. His eye was
a fine blue-gray, kindling and lighting
and melting. His face was fair and
his color and freshness abode even to
advanced age His voice was remark
ably rich and strong, full Of power,
tenderness n pathOs. He was a fine
singer, and his deep bass like soft thun-
der was always welcome in any circle
of song, sacred or secular. His man
ners were exceedingly warm and cor
dial. He was a friend winner every
where, and was always gaining new
friends and cementing old friendships.
One writer f~eliciously said of him
He always kept his friendship in re-
pair He was so gracious and court
ly in and speech, he was so
manifestly sincere and true, he was so
winning and lovable, lat every one
was drawn toward him, and he was
greatly and most ardently and devoted
ly beloved"
He was indeed a man to esteem and
to know. An attractive, animated, able
preacher he drew we'll and was ad-
mired and liked by people not Presby-
terians as we'll as those of his own re-
ligious family. Such a mans life is full
of grace and ~benediction to a.
ity or state.
