TIRE IRVINE CASE.
Complaint and Answer Filed in the
District COURT.

EsFly last wesk the Irvine case OF
which our people have heard consider
able in the past few months was made
public property by the fling, in the
Office of the District Court clerk suit
for divorce by Mr.. E. Irvine against
Mary A. Irvine, his first wife.
TIE petition sets forth that plaintiff
ary. 1867, at the town Of Fgirville, New
Brunswick, and that since Septem Der, j.,
1874, his wife hes deserted him and re-
fused to live with him. The petition
further says thsS there is no community
property and asks that a divorce be
granted.
Saturday the answer was fled. Il is
a volumnious dooument and denies
most of the assertions made in the
petition. It admits the marriage but
says that the plaintiff deserted the de-
tendant about Octob 1868 at St.John,
New Brunswick, leaving her sbsolu tely
destitute and taking with him ell the
money and even selling the last family
COW owned by them. Thas the defend
ant at that time had the care Of their
infant daughter one year old and that
she was at the time enciente
The answer sets forth that there is
considerable community property; and
gives in detail a list of the property held
TO be community property. This prop
erty the answer sets forth was CON
veyed in January OF his year to Izora
E Irvine, formerly IzoFe E. jackson,
and states that about that
time it was mortgeged by the
plaintiff for the cum of $1,000, which
amount was used by the plaintiff ID
travelling to Fargo, North Dakota, for
the purpose Of securing a divorce, but
on his arrival he met people who knew
hlm and the fact that be had two wives
and changing his mind he returned to
Phoenix without attempting to secure
the divorce.
The defendant ssks tbet plaintiff be
to pay her sufficient amount
of money for her support and mainten-
ence and asks that the suit for divorce |
be dismissed.

and Gardeners. 1,

Farmers and Gardeners, Look Here.
On request OF General A. J. Sampson,
President OF the Chamber of Commerce
and who is now in Washington, the
Secretary OF Agriculture has sent TO the
Chamber 500 packages of vegetable
seeds and 70 packages of Ksffif corn,
for distribution smong the gardeners
and farmers OF this valley. While it is
too late for the most of these, for this
years planting, they can be carefully
kept for next winter and springs plant
ing.
Those who will agree so make fair
test of this seed, can call upon
Mr.. Spsngler, the secretary of the
Chamber OF Commerce, and obtain q
supply.
L. is very desirable that Fair test be
made of the Keffir corn especially, as it
may prove to be just she 6hing for thia
valley. IL comes from dry hot, climate.
Should it prove success here it will be
worth gresb deal to the people Of Ari-
zona. Though General Sampson is ab-
sent from his posi- rs President of the
Chamber of Commerce., he does not
seem TO foFges to look after matters of
Importance to Phoenix and the valley.

tic President will send a message &c

appropriation for the relief of destitute
Americans In Cuba. A special meeting
of the cabinet was summoned this morn

arstion of the message was begun.
| Senator Davis, OF the Foreign Relations
Committee was admitted to the cabinet
room. Members of the cabinet present
were Sherman, Long, AlgeF, Gage. Mo-
| Kenny.
WASHINGTON, May 10 The Prssi-
dent today sent the following message
to Congress.
To the Senate and House of Representa-
tiUes of the United States:
"Official Information from our Con-
suls in Ouba establishes the facts that
large number OF American citizens in
the Island are 10 state of dsstitution
and suffering for want of food and med
ioines. This applies particularly to
rural districts of the central and east
ern part. The agricultural classes have
toW-s where they are without work or
money. Local authorities ofthe several
toWns, however kindly disposed, are un-
sbie to relieve the needs of their own
people and are altogether powerless TO
help our citizens. The latest report
from Consul General Lee estimates
that from six to eight hundred Ameri
cans are without means of support l
have assured him that provisions will
be made at once to re lieve them. To
that end l recon- mend that Congress
make aa sppro opria5ion of not less than
fifty Thousand dollars TO be i'm
meidateIy available for use under the |
DIRECTION OF the secretary Of state. 1t |
is desirable thaS part of the sum which |
may be appropriated by CougEes should,
in the discretion of the seoretesy OF |
state slso bs. used for transportation Of |
A msrlcan oitizens who desire to return

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.
Back Salaries Must Be Paid in
Maricnna COuntY

Back Salaries Must Be Paid in
Maricopa County.
Judge Baker this morning rendered q
decision in the case OF jerry Millay
against the county of Msrioopa, in
which the plaintiff asks that a mandate
issue requiring the Board of Super
visore to pay him back salary under the
law passed by the last session OF the
Legislature, the Board of Supervisors
having refused to do SO on the ground
that the law was unconstitutional and
of no effect.
The case had been a hard fought one
and several important points entered
into it. Il was oontended by the ettoF
neys for the county that the Harrison
Act barred the claims for back salary.
and also that the Legislature had no
power to pass suoh a law.
In rendering his decision this morn
ing Judge Baker showed thss go far as
the Harrison Act was concerned Mari
oops county had not yet reached the
Iimit OF indebtedness ests blished by
that law He also held that it was
within the power of the Legislature to
pass such q law, and ordered that judg-
ment be entered for the plsintiff and
mandate issue requiring the Board of
to pay the claim.
This case was a test case, and the
other officers of the county entitled to
back salaries will also be paid on pre-
sen tstion of their claims.

THE HERALD is in no way posted on
the matter of the sale of Territorial
bonds but We imagine the principal
trouble in the case is want OF a pur-
chaser. Eastern capital is not invest
ing in anything now days that is likely
to be paid in silver and whether those
bonds be made gold bonds OF not
makes no difference SO long as the sem
timens of the Territory Is attempting TO
make silver legal tender to any amount
and SO long will eastern suspicion make
the sale of our bonds an impossibiIity.
Some of our contemporai seem TO
forget that in the sale OF these bonds
somebody besides the Territory must
be interested; in short 10 takes at least
two TO make bargain.

The vitescope along with the tele-

remarkable inventions of the present
century. While the phonograph repro
dnces the human voice at any time,
| long after death, or at any distance of
time OF space from the moment Of it's
original prod so the vitescope re-
produces the action, the movements Of
the body, the expression Of countenance
through series of actions or move
ments. No doubt it will be result Of
these two inventions thai in time We
shall see those who are dead and hear
their voices, so com mbined that ID will
appear to US to be again the living pres
ence of the Individual addressing US
Those who live beyond the lives of some
of our present great men will nc doubt
see them and hear them sgRin deliver
some OF their famous addresses through
the medium of the phonograph snd the
visescope. Last night st the Park, II
