..White Devil of Verde. .

The JoURNAL-MNER is in receipt of a neat little volume entitled as above. Aside from being a book ex- tremely interesting in itself, the plot is laid in Prescott and the surround ing country which gives additional interest to 1t to readers of this sec tion. Its author is Miss Lucie France Pierce, very brilliant writer and author who spent a summer ID Prescott and who will be remem- bered very fsvorably by our people.
 The book is 8 story of pure love and stirring action. It is crisp, bright, and often thrilling.
 Miss Marcia Potter of New York, is the most interesting character of the book. She is a typical young lady of the progressive school, who goes west and locates in a mining town. Naturally of asweet and lov- able disposition, she soon draws about her a circle of interesting ac- ouaintances, and more than one bright young man loses his heart to her.
 Speculation has long been rife in the region about this town. as to tue location of a certain claim in the possession of a very old, hermit-hke man, and reputed 10 contain mar velously valuable mine. While prowling about in the wild country, as was the girls custom, she acci- dentally happened 10 come upon the secluded hut of the old man, and found his dead bOtT inside the door. She divined the WI -5 situation at a glance. Seeing trap door in the floor near the dead body, she raised it and discovered the long lost mine. Being 8 ouick-minded Yankee, she immediately proceeded to stake out the claim herself, and, after sur mounting tremendous obstacles, eventually returned to the east, and was followed by her faithful lover, after which the ususl finale is told.
 The book is exceptionally well written, the style is clear, and the plot distinctly life-like.
 There is not a character intro duced that does rot make an imme- diate and successful appeal to the imagination of the reader. It IS a delightful tale Of western life which should "go with a vim" Price in cloth bound. SIPS. G. W. Dilling- ham company, publishers, New York

Saturdays Railroad Accident.

A head end collision occurred this afternoon just before f o'clock near Dukes ranch, between the train from Big Bug and light engine. Nari- ous rumors were ahoat in town in regard to it but nothing reliable could be obtained.
 Other reports stated that Engi- neer Wade was killed and four or ! five others were wounded.
 Up to the time of going to press no one had arrived from the scene of the accident, and owing to the lateness of the hour, it was impos- sible to send a representative there to obtain particulars.
 Later-The accident occurred about two miles north of Prescott An extra north bound with engine z, in charge of Engineer W. H Wade, Fireman Allen Love and Con ductor James Atkinson, collided with train No. 21 from Big Bug.
 Three of the injured were taken to the Sisters hospital, but the ex. tent of their injuries even could not be learned.
 Engineer Wade of the extra, was instantly killed, and Fireman Love and Conductor Atkinson injured.
 Engineer Thos. Gstfeld and Fire man Geo. Walker, on engine 8 of the Big Bug train were also wound ed. The accident occurred in a cut and on a curve, where it was impos- sible to see each other until they had come almost together.
 The railroad track was cleared of Saturdays wreck at an early hour ou Sunday morning. Parties who visited the place on Saturday even ing state that it seems like miracle that any of the engine crews escaped with their lives. The monster en- zines were wedged into each other ID an inconceivable manner, with great masses of twisted steel divergiDg iu every direction. The wounded were taken to the Sisters hospital and all are reported as getting along very well, none of their injuries be ing considered fatal. Despite the storm and cold weather the scene of the wreck was visited by great many people.
 The south bound passenger train was held at P. & E. Junction until the track was cleared. The north bound was held in Prescott.
 An inquest has been in progres: today before Justice Moore and a jury. The most important witnes: was conductor Atkinson who stated that when the orders were received by him and engineer Wade to pro ceed to Ash Fork, train No. 2l, with which they collided, and which va: almost due, was overlooked by them
 The jury brought in verdict thi: evening in which they found the ac, cident due to the negligence oi Train Dispatcher Parrlott, Con ductor Atkinson and Engineer Wade.

A CRACK REGIMENT.
The Rank and File of Col. McCord's Regiment Highly Compliment
 ed by the inspector.


 Regiment Highly Compliment
 ed by the Inspector.
 Captain c. E. Donaldson, of com pany c, of Col. McCord's First vol unteer regiment, has favored the JcURNAL-MNER with a copy of the report of Captain F. D. Baldwin who inspected the regiment on Novem- ber 2. Separate reports are made of each company, that of Captain Don aldson's being as follows:
 "Company C-Rifes model 1881; arms and accountrements excellent; equipments complete; ordnance good; a large supply of police tools on hand general police of camp good; {; kitchen and sinks in good condi- ton"
 After his report on each company separately 8 general report IS made from which we quote as follows,
 "There are some cases where men are not fully supplied with clothing owing to failure to secure proper sizes.
 Some complaint was made by the men that they did not get 6 suth- cient amount of food. 1 found that in very few instances did the officers inspect the cooking, and meals serv ed their men. Every meal should be inspected and the serving of the same should be witnessed by com missioned officer. The rations fur nished by the government IS more than sufficient, sna Il properly cook ed there is TO company in the serv- ice that can from day to day con- sume 1t all.
 The rifles with which five con- panies of this regiment are armed are not serviceable for var. The other companies are armed with the same patterns of rifles but with i'm proved sights, 45 calibre. All should be chased as obsolete las far as arm ing the troops at this time goes) when there are patterns of rifles of so pronounced superiority in the hands of troops and others, presum- ably available for issue.
 This regiment should be equipped with the best arms in existence, its ranks are recruited from the truly western country where every man is an excellent rife shot and perfectly familiar with fire arms.
 As 6 regiment the rank and file is composed of the finest body of men 1 have found iE any volunteer or ganization.
 Generally speaking the officers are attentive to their duties and show in a marked degree a desire to per form them.
 1 consider the regiment with the few exceptions noted, which are of small moment, ready for field ser vice"

 Miss. Kings clothing was found in her bath house and from the time of her appearance on the beach she has vanished utterly without leaving any trace that the police can find.
 The family inclines to the theory that she has been drowned. There was large crowd on the beach Sunday at the time of Miss Kings disappear ance, and as far as can be learned, no cutcry was heard and no swimmer was seen to be in trouble.
 The police say they doubt that Miss King was drowned. The beach has been carefully patrolled for signs of any body that would come ashore and word has also been sent to all nearby points without results.

THE LOCAL KICK.
Democrats Generally Not Pleased With
 Wilson's Nomination.

There were expressions of demo- cratic disappointment when word was received from Prescott yesterday that Wilson had been nominated for dele gate to congress. In some cases the expression was only facial CT indicated by a shrug Of the shoulder. Tn other cases it was voca. profane. The democrats generally said that they had nothing against Wilson and they had nothing fer him. It was to be repe- Iiticn of the disastrous Herndon cam paign.
 How do you think he will run?" a lifelong democrat was asked.
 Like h-l,' he replied; like an ice wagon tied to a fence There's no da1. ger Of his running over anybody going in the same direction '
 IT. the absence Of definite informa- ton regarding the cause o: the dis aster there is a disposition to blame all the party leaders and particularly Barnes and Smith. They accuse Barnes Of having sacrificed the party to his personal spite. They think Smith, believing his own case to oe hopeless now, had purposely paved ths way for defeat of the party that he night be considered indispensable two years hence. They say if they can prove that Smith has thrown his party
