Mir. J. s. Smith, of Phoenix, was res- cued Saturday eveuing from imminent peril of death by thirst just this side of the Castle Creek hot springs junction. He left Phoenix early yesterday morn- ing on bicycle, intending to go to Congress. When he reached the point named he was overcome with heat and exhaustion and sat down beside the railroad track. Realizing his condi- tion and danger he tied his handker- chief to stick and stuck 1t up beside the track. It was seen by the crew of the passenger train which came in last night, and they stopped and took the man on hoard, cared for him and brought him to Phoenix.

Davison q Cronin Awake in Time to

 About midnight last night Messrs. Daviso,l k Cronin, the harnessmakers, who sere sleeping in their shop, were awakened by noise in the rear of the buildihg. Both gentlemen quietly arose wiSh the intention of inyestiga- ting the npise, but in the dark they had moments difficulty in getting the back boos open, and when they suc- ceeded ia opening it man was disap- bearing in the darkness on the run.
 Messr,. Davison and Cronin discoy- cred thav they had just awakened in time to eeape being the victims of an incendiarv fire. A large pile of papers had been placed under the floor and against the building and everything was in req aainess for the lighted match.

Nary Bid.

The city council held meeting last night for the purpose of receiving bids for the water bonds, but not a proposal was rendered for the same. This throws the city back to solution of the question that it has had to contend with for years and upon its own re- sources will further consideration in financial matters have to be resorted to to temporarily handle the proposition and until permanently settled. Ac- cordingly it is said the city council recognizes the utter fntility of further prospecting on the flat for new water channels furnishing an adequate sup ply, and the surface shoe string supply being also limited, they will probably go to the northern part of town at the junction of Miller and Granite creeks to develop further supply. A we'll twelve by twelve feet Is proposed at this point and there are many who be- lieve an abundunt supply will be had. JOurnal-Miner.

We have dispatches from General Shafter that the proposed bombardment has been postponed The only reason of the postponement, as l un- derstand it, is that certain. propositions have been made to General Shafter This deferring of the attack gives more time to be in a position to nave the final assault should it become necessary.
