BEGINNING OF AN EXPOSURE.
The Condition of Affairs in the Coun.
 tvs District of Ill-Fame.

The disgraceful condition Of affairs ill the new reservation of immortality which has been built up against the southeast corner of the city was brought to judicial notice yesterday fer the first time. A man named Con- nolly, who livts with his wife and a family of several children in that neighborhocd, made complaint in Jus tire Joh hnstone's court against Minnie 3 Powers charging her with keeping a disorderly house. That is a tame word for it according to the descrip- tion given by Connolly and other wit nesses. The women, they say, appear in the street clad in translucent gar ments. Sometimes the garments are invisible. But the costume of these creatures is less shocking if possible than the language daily forced upon the ears of the Conno.A-s and other unfortunate, but respectable residepSn of that locality. -
 The case has one pitiat It. Connolly is a poor man al sev- eral years daily .abor mi al Bed to buy home. He bought 1t tf{ere be- cause tho ground was cheap and al a time when there was little, prospect that he would be rouHed bV disagree able neighbors. He says that he will now be compell,d to abaddon it un- less the county comes td his rescue by doing wha it's representatives promised to 10 when { it set about breaking up tie busineSs of prostitu- tion. The neighbors saty that bad as Madam Powers place isl, it is no worse than the others. There is sound of revelry at Fl of them every night. The monotory of the| sound is broken now and tAen 5y 4urses and pistol shots. The nsighbors object to so much liveliless They prefer the more graye-like stiffness before the county entered uron it's work of reform.

ACCIDENT AT YUMA.
An Employe of the Southern Pacific
 Incurs Painful Injuries.

Pete Aune, commonly called Jay Gould, we'll known employe of the Southern Pacific company, sustained an injury Wednesday evening which may prove quite serious. He was clean ing the tops of the coaches of the east bound passenger, while the train was standing at the depot, when he slipped and fell, and in some manner got tan gled in the ladder by means of which he reached the top of the coach. His left leg was broken completely off be- tween the knee and the ankle, hanging together by the skin and flesh of one side. The flesh was burst open for a considerable distance and the bone protruded six or eight inches. The broken bones were temporarily set by Dr. Greenleaf, and MT. Aune was taken to Tucson on the passenger train which occasioned his injury. In the hospital there he vii, receive first class care and it is hoped that the injured member will not only be saved, but that MT. Aune in due course of time will be able to resume his duties.- Yuma Sun.

GOVERNOR MURPHY
He Will Arrive iR inc City
 About 4 o'clock Today.
His Condition, Which ii was Thought Would Defain Him st Prescott. is Much improved.

Governor N. %. Murphy will leave Prescott at 10 o'clock this morning and will arrive in Phoenix about 4 D.. m. He is all ready to enter upon his duties, having qualified yesterday at g o'clock by taking the oath of office be- fore Associate Justice Sloan at Pres colt. It was uncertain until last night just when the governor would come to Phoenix. It was known that he had been quite sick and was still far from being a well man. His phy- sician had recommended that he re- main in Prescott for day CT two al least and take a needed rest But about o'clock a telegram was re- ceived here saying that he was much better.
 The original plan of welcoming him adopted by the committee of twenty five will be carried out Yes.erday was the date on which Governor Me Cords resignation was to take effect. He accordingly passed out of civil life and arrayed himself in the uniform of a colonel, which becomes him as if he had been bred to a military exist ence. He spent some time about the executive chambers yesterday after noon engaged in the arrangement of his personal affairs. He has had no late word regarding the movement of his regiment, but orders are expected now at almost any moment

THE RIGHT AND THE WRONG.
The Republican Presented Couple o1
 Object Lessons Yesterday.


 The Republican began more than a year ago trying to convince the mer- chants of Phoenix that advertising pays. Not indiscriminate and inju- dicious advertising indulged in just to help some newspaper along. The Re- publican's doctrine was that adver- tisements should be placed carefully where they would be seen by the great est number of people, in the columns Of paper of the greatest circulation and moreover in the columns of a newspaper in which the people have the most confidence. A majority of the merchants of this ely are con- vinced of the soundness of this doc trine- Still The Republican keeps set ting forth new object lessons, riveting the foregoing great truth upon them. Two of these object lessons were pre- sented yesterday.
 The Alkire Dry Goods company and the New York store decided to hold special or clearance sales, beginning yesterday. Each of these enterpris- ing firms advertised the sale in The Republican exclusively. The result was astonishing, something that never occurred before since merchants set tied in Phoenix. At an early hour both the New York store and Alkire's were crowded. At 10 o'clock many of the customers were still unable to get in, but were crowded on the side walk awaiting a relief of the conges- t1on within. It reminded one of de scriptions by comic papers of bargain sale rushes. MT. Frank Alkire of the Alkire Dry Goods company, and MT. Sam Korrick of the New York store are now full fledged graduates from The Republicans school of advertis- ing. They know that The Republi- cans kind of advertising pays.

A GEOGRAPHICAL BLUNDER.
The Commissioner of the General
Land Office. Corrects an Error.

Investigation by Government officials
of the maps in the Biographies used in
the public and private schools in the
country has developed the fact that many
inaccuracies have occurred in their COM
pilation. Some of these mistakes are
very misleading, and are at variance with
the history of the country.
One of the maps which has been de-
termined to be incorrect is the one pur-
porting TO show the territory ceded to
America by France, known as the Louis
lana purchase. 1t shows the cession to
extend beyond the Rocky Mountains and
TO include what is now known as Wash
ington, Oregon and parts of Montana
Idaho and Wyoming. Mr.. Binger Her
mann, commissioner of the general land
office, after an exhaustive examination
of authorities, has recommended that the
new maps make the Louisiana cession
end al the Rocky Mountains, and his sug-
gestion has been adopted by the Secre-
tary of the Interior. The commissioner
has had published an official report upon
the subject, containing maps and illustra-
tions- The country beyond the Rockies
will on the new maps be shown to have
been acquired by discovery in 1872. by ex-
pioration in 1866, by Astoria settlement in
ISL and by the Florida treaty in 1919.

MAY CAMP AT RICHMOND.
Gen. Gobin's Brigade May Be Sent
There

1t is probable that some of the troops
now at Camp Alger will be sent into
camp near Richmond, Va.
Efforts are being made to have the
Third Virginia sent to Richmond and as
Secretary Alger does not wish to break
the brigade formation, the full Third
Brigade, First Division, may be sent to
that place.
This brigade includes the Eighth.
Twelfth and Thirteenth Pennsylvania, be-
sides the Third Virginia, and is com
manded by Gen. Goblin. Since the latter
has found it impossible to have his brig
ade moved to Mt. Gretna, Pa. he is said
to favor Richmond as camping place.
Congressman Lamb of Virginia has writ
ten the Secretary of War, requesting
that Richmond be chosen and as the va
rious business interests of that city are
at work, 1T is possible that the move may
be made within a few DAYS.
Richmond offers many advantages as a
camping place and little sickness has been
experienced by the regiments now sta
toned there

Another scandal in the navy is very
near the breaking point, and soon viii

to tbs opinion of one of the best-inform-

1t is stated that the use of salt water

during the war.
This statement is made:

The facts of the situation are as fol-
lows: The distilling apparatus at the Key
West naval base is broken down and use
less. No fresh water lighters have ac-
companied the fleet, but instead salt wa
ter has been used almost entirely in
running the engines. Every gallon of
sea water that goes through the boilers
leaves its salt in them and in the tubes.

THE STOCK MARKET.
The Uncertainty Regarding Peace
Tended to Restrict Activity


New York, Aug 9-There have been
times when the stock market hung
breathIess upon a meeting of the agents
OF the trunk lines, but absolutely no
interest was taken in the one held TO-
day. ta'
The days material outside situation
was unchanged in other respects, and the
speculation seemed to have rather ex-
hausted the peace prospects as the
direct and immediate spurt of sentiment
The uncertainty in regard to the tenor
of the reply of the Spanish government
10 the conditions of peace, and the un-
certainty as to how the United States
Government would accept Spain's coun-
ter proposals tended to restrict activity
and rather chilled recent speculative
feeling. There was, of course no au-
thoritative information in this respect.
but the street elected to think that be-
cause the Spanish note was voluminous
II was, on that account likely to be
non-acquiescent. Spanish per cents
broke rather sharply in the European
markets, perhaps on like reasoning on
the part of foreign spectators and this
circumstance served to confirm the local
notions as to the status of the peace
negotiations.
The market was charae serized by un-
certainty of tone and consequent irregu-
iarity of movement. Foreign houses sold
a fairly large amount of stocks at the
opening of business and local realizing
was heavy. Aside from the uncertainty
as to the nature of Spain's reply. the
day held little TO affect sentiment in
any way. c. c. C. & ST Louis was par
ticularly strong on renewed reports in
regard to the acquisition of two con-
meeting roads, the negotiations for which
were announced in this column six weeks
ago. Peoples Gas advanced smartly on
rumors that the disagreement with the
natural gas interests was likely to be
smoothed over The Granger shares
and the general market were less active
than yesterday, and rather reaction
airy.
