 A TELEGRAPH1C ERRoR.- A curious error occurred in the tele- graphic dispatches yesterday. It was stated, To-day the senate confirmed the nomination of J. Mahoney of Winslow to be marshal of Arizona D w M Griffith of Tucson is the 'fmar- shal of Arizona" long ago appointed and confirmed. Nor has he since been removed, nor has he resigned. What is meant by the dispatch is this: The postof1ce at Wins1ow has lately been raised to presidential office. Mrs. Julia Mahoney was poStmist-ess. It became necessary under the new elas- that she should be nominated and her nomination confirmed by the senate.
 LIBRARY AT THE CENTRAL. = At the Central school the first steps have been taken towards securing a library, and if the plan decided upon is carried out it will no doubt result in giving the Central school 8 good col- lection. Yesterday teachers in differ ent departments of the school enlisted the offices of the pupils to secure from their homes books which have become a superfluous quantity in the growth of the home libraries, or books which the pupils possess and arc willing to part with. Persons in the city who are in- terested in giving the school library are reminded of this opportunity of of books which they feel dis posed Ito part with
 LOCAL PRICE PROSPECT. -Phoe- iaf, Hu1f Cox that the rain there was so slight that 1t has done no good at all and the peo- pie are despairing of getting any more. The prospect now is gloomier than it has been at any time since the drouth set in. The hay crop will DO doubt be much shorter than it was last season, SO that all the alfalfa which can pos ,ibly be raised in the valley will find market on the coast at prices never heard of since the army post at Me Oowell was abandoned. The eXperi- nent made by the CalifornIans last ;eason with Kansas hay is nc. likely to ,e repeated. The price of Arizona beef s also expected to advance sharply.
