AN AURORAL DISPLAY.
Boston Witnesses a Heavenly Show
 Last Evening.

Boston, March 21-One of the finest auroral displays seen in this vicinity for many years flashed and glowed in the northern heavens for an hour or more this evening. Great waves of light swept in a grand arch from east to west and back again, variated by long streamers stretching to zenith, which snapped and almost glittered against the blackness of the sky. A greenish tinge was the predOminating color, but many of the intense DOT tions of the display had crimson hue The spectacle was over by o'clock, but during the display all the telegraph lines in New England were seriously affected. The aurora was seen throughout New England, being espe- cially brilliant in Maine.

THE ROMANCE OF A CRAVE.
A Couple Driven From Home Thirty Years Ago Perish.

Independence, Kan, March 21.- Henry Johnson, overseer of a large cattle ranch near Wewoka, I. T., south of here, reports that while digging a well he came across the skeletons of two persons who are believed to have been the long lost descendants of two VII known families.
 Theodore Taylor, a nephew of Zach ary Taylor, married Miss Octavia Malcom at St. Louis two years after the civil war. The marriage was against the wishes of the young mans parents and the couple were driven from home. They came to the south west in the hope of making their for tune and were last heard of near Fort Gibson, I. T., in November, 1S67 It was reported that they were killed by Indians.
 MT. Johnson believes that the skel- etons are those of these two persons. In the dust were found several rings, a necklace and a large gold medal on which was inscribed in Latin the motto: No one wounds me with i'm punity," beneath which was the name bore these words: From Ted'' The matter has been reported to the in- terior department at Washington, and will be referred to the relatives of Taylor and his wife.

MRS. HAYDEN'S CONDITION
Fears for the Worst of Her Burning
 Last Saturday Night.

The condition of Mrs. c. L. Hayden, whose serious burning on Saturday night was announced by The Republi- can on Sunday morning, is most grave, It is doubtful if the destruction of the skin surface has not been great enough to cause death. Her husband, who is in Holbrook on business, was noti- fed of the accident yesterday and Will return to Phoenix tonight. Her father-in-law, MT. c. H. Hayden, came in from Stanton on Sunday night The particulars Of the accident, which were not at first given out for the reason that the burning was not at first believed to be dangerous, are as fol- lows: Mrs. Hayden had retired at the usual hour but before falling asleep was called. She threw a fight en- broidered garment over her night gown and struck a match. It is sup posed that the burning head of the match was detached and found lodg- ment in the embroidery. At any rate her clothing was instantly afame and the fire was quickly communicated to inf1ammable articles in the room The door was locked and at first Mrs. Hayden in her excitement was unable to open it. But in spite of her pain and the growing flames she finally succeeded in unlocking it and other members of the family ran in and ex- tinguished the fire. Mrs. Hayden was found to be burned about the neck and breast and arms. There were 10 marks of the fire upon her face, and very singularly, her hair was only slightly singed.
 The home of Mrs. Hayden, her hus- band and father-in-law is in Colum- bus, O., where the elder MT. Hayden is prominent in the banking business. They have spent the last two winters in Phoenix.

Chief Justice Street Confirmed
 Without Opposition
AND ALSO WITHOUT DELAY
Whom Once the Committee
 Report was Made
The Charges Against Judge Street Not Only Failed of Proof But Were Utterly Disproved-Mr. MiIIers Part in 1t.

Washington, March 21.-(Special.)- The nomination of Hon. Webster Street to be chief justice of Arizona was confirmed by the senate today. The nomination has been held up in the committee on judiciary for several months on charges affecting his standing as all attorney, but the in vestigations showed the committee that the charges were without founda- tion. The committee decided to report the case favorably at It's meeting to- day and to ask immediate action on the part of the senate. This course was pursued with the result that the nom ination went through without delay or opposition in the senate
 This action was decided upon last Saturday, as The Republican cores pondent outlined in his dispatch from here at that time. The original charges against Judge Street, though dam aging enough in their character, were given but little weight, and the whole subject would have been disposed of weeks ago but for the interference of w. w. Miller of the firm of Hornblower & Miller of New York, who represented certain interests which had been in- juriously affected by ruling of Judge Street. Mir. Millers charges, or all of the charges did not bear directly upon any matter in which he was interested. His high standing and the gravity of the accusations compelled the atten- tion of the senate and made the fullest investigation necessary.
 The motive of the opposition to Judge Street was never lost sight of by senators. The charges not only failed of proof, but were actually disproved several days ago. Judge Streets case was greatly assisted by endorsements from Arizona and other parts Of the country testifying to his learning as a lawyer and his ability and fairness as a judge. The opposi- tion was found to be confined to mar row and well defined limits and sena- tors frequently asked why many of these charges now made had not been presented before his nomination or as early as year ago when his name was being considered by the president.

AFTER MANY YEARS.
4 Five Year-Old Check Turned Up
 Yesterday.

A curious and perplexing matter was Alfredo Valenzuela left a check for S52.53 with Antoine Gould in inc block, receiving on it $5.30. MT. Gould sub sequently made an investigation and discovered that that was more than it was worth. He procured the ar rest Of Valenzuela on warrant from Justice kincaid's court The check is the puzzling feature of the affair. It was drawn on the Valley bank by Purdy & Tomlinson in favor of M. E. Hurley or bearer, and bears the date of May P, 1893. It was endorsed for MT Hurley by his bookkeeper, J. c. C. H. Boon. It is torn through the center and at some time or another had been apparently impaled upon triangular file such as banks and other business houses use to put documents on that have been finally disposed Of and have become useless except for purposes of reference. Tn usual stamp on the back, though, showing that it had been cashed, is missing.
 Mr. Boon was shown the cheek and
 has arrived at this conclusion: He
 knows in two ways that it never passed from him to the bank It would
 not have been indorsed in the first place, since it was drawn to "bearer.'' Then again it was his unvarying GUS
 tom to mark checks for deposit with a r11hh ct lect how this check passed out of his hands, but he believes from the size of it that it was paid out on account of cattle and that the unnecessary en- dorsemert was made to satisfy some
 man unfamiliar with commercial
 usages.
 Another curious thins is this, sup
 posing that Mr. Boon's theory is cor
 rect: The man to whom it was paid
 no doubt lost it. Yet MT. Boo3. Says that during his employment as book keeper at Hurley's no loss of a d4eck was ever reported and he never re- ceived a request to stop payment on
 one. This matter did not come up yesterday until it was too late to as
 certain by the books of the bank if it
 had ever been presented for pay
 ment. MT. Purdy, whose attention
 was called, believed that it haG been paid, for his books and those of the
 banks were always in accord, as they
 would not have been if the check had | been side-tracked.
 Another startling theory resa: ding
 the loss of the check, supposing it to
 have been lost, was advanced The
 loser would certainly have reported 1 if he could, and as he did not, there is an inference that it was taken from a
 man who was past telling tales. If Hurley's books were accessible Mir. Boon said it would be possible to as certain to whom the check was given,
 but they are no longer in existence. Some light may be thrown upon the affair today.
