 The order issued on Saturday by the railroad company to the effect that all passengers for either east or west would be compelled to go via
 Phenix as published in the JOURNAL MINER, has been rescinded. Instead of running q trains over the South ern Pacific, as at first cont 'mplated, the Santa Fe Pacific has decided to run their trains as usual and to transfer all passengers, mail and ex- press ct the tunnel, as previously during the time that repairs are be- l ing made tO it. Passengers from Prescott will, therefore, continue to go via Ash Fork for points east and west.
 The work of clearing the tunnel of debris and of relimbering it has already commenced, and it is esti mated that it will take two weeks to complete the repairs. The tun- nel will be retimbered as before and will not be blown out into an open cut as at first talked of. The latter proposition, in addition to the big expense of doing the work, wC uld require ,.t least sixty days time dur ing which traffic would bs practi- cally suspended on the road, thus very seriously iujuring the business of the read.
 ! Freight is being sent via the Southern Pacific. Traffic on the $. F. P. X P. road is very lively, all the motive power on the road being required to accommodate it. Train after traiu has been passing oyer the road for four days.
 Santa Fe officials say that the tunnel disaster is the most serious misfortune that has ever befallen the company, and will prove to be more expensive than the strike. All the through business of the road must now be done over the South ern Pacific lines.
 On account of this increase in bus iness, the Southern Pacific Com psny has been compelled 10 put double crews on all engines. as the engines will get absolutely no rest. More engineers and trakemen are needed. It is stated that no capa- ble railrea1 man will be refused work by that company.
 By some it is estimated that the cost Of repairs and loss of business to the Santa Fe company may easily reach Sl,000,000. At the time the disaster happened, the road was do ing the best business in its entire history, as every locomotive belong ing to the company was taxed to its fullest capacity, while the company had twenty five locomotives leased from the A. T. & $. F and two from the s. F. P. & P. road.
 A. G. Wells, general superinten- dent of thu Santa Fe Pacific rail road, who has been on duty there ever since the first disaster, was compelled tO go to Needles last Sat urday for medical treatment, being threatened with pneumonia from exposure.
 Another man sustained serious injuries last Friday and was taken to the Albuquerque hospital, mak- ing ten men injured and two killed since the Ire occurred.

PARKER's CASE HEARD
The Slayer of Norris Had His Day |
 Supreme Court.

The Slayer of Norris Had His Day in Supreme Court.
 The case of James F. Parker. ap; pelant, vs the Territory of Arizona, respondent from Yavapai county, was partially argued in supreme court yesterday. This is the cele- brated case of Parker, the train rob Der and murderer, under sentence of death at Prescott for the killing of Lee Norris last summer. Messrs. J. E. Morrison and George A. Allen appeared for the appellant. Both are young men. They were ap pointed to the defense of Parker a0d though they wore not inspired by a big retainer, they conducted the case as skillfuliy and energeti- cally as if fee were m sight. They created a splendid impression In court yesterday and if Parker goes to the gallows he will go with the assurance that his last earthly busi- ness was not neglected.
 The respondent was represented by District Attorney Ross of Yava- pal county and Attorney General Frazier. The prayer of the appel laDt for reversal of tue judgment of the lower court Is based on several allegations, some of which are startling and unusual. It is charged in the first place that the the feeling and animus Of the trial judge were manifested in his iuss structions to the jury; second, that the prisoner was brought into court shackled; third, that he had not been held to the grand jury for murder, but for train robbery fourth that the court erred Tn everything a motion for change of venue made on the ground of the inhsmed pop ular feeling at Prescott at the lime of the trial, and fifth, that the CIT cumstances of the killing of Norris did not warrant a verdict Of murder in the first degree.-Republican.

GOOD TIMES AHEAD.
Work on the Big Bug Railroad to be Speedily Commenced and Pushed
 to Completion.
Prospects Good for Whipple BecOm- Large and Important Milf
 tary Post.

Recent advices from Chicago are to effect that work on the Prescott and Eastern railroad, connecting the Big Bug and Chaparral mining districts of Arizona with the outside world, will begin not later than March 1. This was decided upon at meeting of the directors of the Santa Fe Prescott x Phoenix rail- road company, held in Chicago last week. The road will leave the main line at the Point of Rocks, five miles north of Prescott. and run m an easterly and southerly direction twenty-six miles to Joe Mayors at Big Bug.
 The cost of of construction will be in the DeighborhoOd of half a million dollars. The road will ba operated by the s. F. P. & P. and it is expected that trains will be run ming over the line not later than July l. The opening of this rail road will mean much to Arizona. The line will tap one of the richest mining regions m the territory, and Prescott will be given a decided impetus in all its varied lines of business.
 It now looks as if the movement to secure the retention of Fort Whipple would succeed and that the post would be a well established army post with water and sewer age system as contemplated m a law which congress will be asked to pass and with this new railroad. Prescott ought to gain largely in population and wealth. The Big Bug district will advance rapidly m importance. The action of the s. F. r. & P. peo- pie is certain to have a good effect on the territory at large. 1t attests the confidence these capitalists have in the future of Arizona and II will influence other capitalists who all ready have their eye on the treasure territory.

ONLY ONE HONEST MAN.
He Told Why He DIdn't Pay He Debts
 and the Preacher Prayed.

A story was recently told of how a preacher tested the effect of the hard times upon his congregation. At the conclusion of one of his ser mons, he said:
 Let every body in the house who pays his debts, stand up." Instantly every man, woman and child, with one exception, rose 10 their feet. He seated the crowd and then said Let every man who is not paying his debts stand up" The exception noted, a careworn, hungry indivi- dual, clothed in his last suit. stood in front of him. "How is it. my friend" inquired the minister. "that you are the only man in this large congregation who is unable to meet his obligaiionsf"
 Il publish a newspaper" he very meekly replied, "and my brethren here, who have just stood up, are all my subscribers. and"
 Let us pray" exclaimed the min ister.-Exchange.
