IN DISTRICT COURT.
MCCdbe VS. Normal School Board Fails on a Demurrer.
Objection 10 Decree of Foreclosure in the Canal Company Case Argued and Submitted.

There were several matters of inn portance in district court yesterday. The case of P. B. McCabe vs. the nor mai school board to recover $500 which he and others had paid the board for the lease of section 16 near Tempe, but which they never enjoyed, came up cr a demurrer. The trial of the case Lad lately been continued to dhe Octobez, term. The demurrer was raised on the ground that the statute of limitation had run it's full course against the plaintiffs claim. The de- murrer was sustained. This matter has been dragging along in the courts for a long time. It was contended by the defense that the board never gave a lease but that it informed the plaintiff that it could not give valid lease. The objection was met by the plaintiff saying that he and his asso- ciates would not hold the board re- sponsible for the invalidity of the lease. All they wanted for the $600 to be paid was the signatures of the members of the board to a lease. It is said that the board further protected itself by taking an indemnity bond from the lessees, but the bond has since been lost.
 The objection to the decree of fore closure in the case of the Merchants Loan and Trust company of New York against the Arizona Canal and I'm provement companies was argued by ex-Governor Hamilton for the minority bondholders and by Judge Ainsworth for the plaintiff. The decree was gen. orally objected to on the ground that it was iniquitous. There were beside many special objections, enc of which was that the plan of sale was intended to exclude all bidders except the mem- bers of the bondholders' committee. The minority bondholders, MT. Ham, 1lton said, would be utterly cut out. Judge Street reserved his decision.
 In the case of c. T. Hirst against the Glendale Fruit company, an action brought to recover salary as manager, judgment was rendered the plaintiff.
 Jesse Maycloud won out again. In the case of Murray against him to col feet a judgment for damages of five years standing, an order to show cause why the judgment should not be paid was discharged and the report of the referee was not confirmed.

THE CITY COUNCIL.
The First Step Toward a Public WatsI
 and Sewer System

The regular session of the city coun- cil was held last night and was dragged out to great length. The ex- animation of current monthly accounts occupied considerable part of the session. A report was not reached until nearly 10 o'clock and it involved a cutting down and restriction of some of the claims, among them that of the Wilson Bros for street sprinkling. This reduction was in the nature of a hold-out on account of the failure of the contractors to keep the city sprink- ling wagons in repair as the contract provided.
 The first step was taken toward a public water works and sewer system by the adoption of a resolution by the mayor to employ Ernest Abs Hagen, an expert engineer, to visit the city for the purpose of preparing plans and estimates at a compensa- tion of S10 a day and his travelling expenses.
 Councilman Sanders moved to in- crease the city attorneys salary from $40 to $60 a month. There was no second and the motion was withdrawn.
 The public building committee was directed to investigate the matter oi giving fire alarms by other methods than the Gamewell system.
 A. G. Utley and c. M. Sturges ap- peared before the council and asked permission to put in a cement side walk in front of the Golden Eagle stables at other than an official grade On the motion of MT. Sanders the appointment of John Rock as jailo1 was confirmed.

A RELIGIOUS EPISODE.
MT. Blank of Phoenix the Principal Supporter of a Prescott Church.

Deputy Sheriff Henry George and another Phoenix young man have just returned from Prescott. While they were there they took half dozen young ladies to church one night. The other Phoenix man, who will be called Blank in this narrative, occupied seat in the rear of the church with three of the ladies' During the per- formance of that indispensable reli- gious function known as taking up collection MT. Blank committed an er- TOT. He intended to contribute quarter, but threw a $1O gold piece into the box. The extent of his munificence burst upon him only after the collector had gotten three seats away. What happened after that is described by MT. George. "I heard a commotion behind me and looking around I saw Blank rushing up the aisle swinging his arms. I thought he was getting religion. An instant later he overhauled the collector, seized him by the collar and actually took $10 gold piece out of the sacred funds. I was paralyzed. I had heard of lone highwaymen stopping stages and railroad trains. I had also heard of robbers getting away with faro bank rolls and saloon cash drawers, but this was the first time I had ever heard of a church collection being held up.
 When order was restored explana- tions were made. Blank kept his $10 gold piece and threw quarter in the box and then sang the doxology.
 After it was over I went around among my acquaintances apologizing. I told them I knew that Blank had come from a part of Kentucky where there were people met and shook hands cordially every Sunday, but all ways holding the right hand on a gun But I knew he left that community a long time ago and I supposed he had learned how to act in church. I'll take him out to religious worship here next Sunday night, but I'll notify the pastor not to hold a collection. If it hadn't been for that collection, Blank would have gone through the services without a break. He hadn't made any kind of a demonstration until then v

Of the people for stated terms.

We regard the tenure system in our
federal judiciary as subsersive of liber-
ty and we demand the election of Unit
ed States supreme court for stated

STATE ISSUES.
No people can be free who are de-
MED the right to vote yes and no on
every law to which they are subject,
and we therefore favor the initiative
and referendum as the only measure
by which majority rule can be secured.
We are firmly committed to the pub
lie ownership of national monopo]ies
aud we favor an amendment to the
constitution permitting the state to
engage in public works.
We favor the repeal of the so-called
fellow servant statute and the enact
ment of legislation making employers
liable for injuries received by their
employees while inethe discharge of i'm
mediate duty, when injuries received
are directly traceable to the negli-
gence of employers or fellow servants.
We believe in fostering the institu-
tions of the state and insist that coun-
ty and state supplies BIZ purchased
from home producers.
We are opposed to the employment
of convict labor in competition with
free labor except to such an extent as
may be necessary to preserve the
health of the convicts and maintain
the institutions IN which they are in
carcerated.
We demand an equitable tax upon
the franchises of railroad and other
corporations, and we denounce the ma
jority Of the state board of equalizs.

property On tile same basis as that Of
the citizens of the state.

MARQUETTE'S CLAIM TO FAME.
The Postofice Department Explains It ss to a CorresRoRen

Washington, Aug. 1S--The question as to the right of Father Marquette to figure as a leading actor in the history of this country has been brought for ward again in connection with the fact that picture of Marquette sailing down the Mississippi is borne on the Cne-cent Omaha exposition stamps A cores ponGent of the postoffice depart mert writes that he had made search 10 ascertain what claims Marquette has to the distinction thus given him, with ithe result that history showed Mar iQuatte to have been a foreigner and : Jesuit. but not marked as q man of note either in literature or science.

 l John P. Merritt. third assistant postmaster general, answered that the object of the promoters and managers i of the Trans Mississippi exposition Is
 Q foster commendable pride On the part of the inhabitants in the progress of their section, and to demonstrate it's growth. Anything pertaining to i the men who were most conspicuous and helpful in blazing the way to those
 sections. and laying the foundations Of civilization is, therefore, fraught with
 grea. interest. It may be claimed, he adds, that Marquette did not discover the Mississippi. but like Americus Yes
