PHILADELPHIA, March 5--Repre-
sentatives of the state organization
of the Jeffersonian, or gold demo-
cratic, party met here yesterday and
resolved to put in the field ticket OF
their own for state officers from the
governorship down and for members
Of congress in every district. A letter
from ex- President Cleveland was read,
in which he says:
hope most sincerely that there may be q
sound money movement In Pennsylvania that
will be strong and useful cannot account for
the arrogant confidence OF the free silver forces
except upon the theory that they are led to be-
lieve that there is very little aggressive effort
to be made by their opponents II anyone be-
lleving with us supposes that free silver
can be prevented from controlling the
two houses Of the next congress with
out effective organization and hard
work, the quicker he abandons that idea the
more useful he will be as sound money man.
| am so earnest In my desire to see our country

WASHINGTON, March 5.-An hour or
more of the time Of the ca binet session
was occupied in the reading Of q long
report Of the special agent Of the post
office department on the killing of
Baker, the colored postmaster at Lake
City, 5. c. In view of the peculiar cir
cumstances connected with the murder
and the enormity of the crime it was
decided to increase the governments
reward to 81, 500 in each case. Every
effort will be made by the federal au-
thorities to bring the guilty par
ties to justice. 1t is said that Attorney
General Griggs holds to the opinion
that the federal government will have
jurisdiction over the murderers when
captured, unless they are first taken by
the state authorities, Baker, it is held,
was an officer of the government in
the discharge of his duty, and the at
tack on him was similar to an attack
on a deputy marshal or other officer.

ZONE EYED REILLY"
His First Appearance Since the Demo-
 lition of the Cline Family.

"One Eyed Reilly" came to town on
 Sunday. His coming was a sign of at mospheric disturbance. It occurred at the Palace the same night. The last time MT. Reilly was in town he almost
 obliterated the Cline family root and
 branch, in the alley back of the An
 heuser They were all resuscitated af-
 ter MT. Reilly's hasty departure. That
 was on July 5, the day after the ob- liberation of Cervera's fleet, which MT.
 Reilly was celebrating. The Clines were the Span-yards.
 On Sunday Alight MT. Reilly and man named John Tompkins went into the Palace for a drink. Reilly put a quarter on the bar, and Tompkins, who was drunk beyond discretion, swiped it Reilly knocked him down. lack Phillips, a big brakeman, mildly re- monstrated with him upon his conduct. Reilly replied with blow in the eye which would have put a common out. But Phillips was not a common man, and so he lifted MT. Rein[ wan" That gentleman flew through the air and hit swinging door which was not sensitive enough to give way quickly, and MT. Reilly carried it with hlm and landed in a heap with it in the vesti- bule of the saloon. Phillipe went out side to look at the ruin he had wrought. A common man would have been dead from such a blow, but neither was MT. Reilly a common man. DiSengaging himself from the door he was on his feet and graphing with Philips. The struggle was titanic. The bystanders said Reilly was licked, but Officer Mol Joy who came up, pulled the fighters apart, arrested them, pronounced it a draw and declared all pets off. MT. Reilly was fined $10 in police court yesterday and became indignant. He said it oughtn't have been more than S5. seeing the fight was only half fin ished. He acknowledged that Phillips is a man of great reserve power and better qualified for mule than brakeman.

ment was 'taken until tomorrow night.
 Another matter of less --nportace was the adoption of an opinion by the city attorney with reference to the J..
 M. Gardiner electric light franchise. This franchise had been bought along with other property of the Gardiner company by the Phoenix Light and Fuel company, which had found it burdensome on account of Its Mberality to the city in the matter of free lights. The assignee had made application to the city to surrender it. The city at torney held the franchise to be con- tract To annul it would be disadvan- tageous to the city. The council ac- cordingly adopted a resolution to mo- tify the assignee that its request would not be granted.
 L. D. Copeland was given permission to assign a franchise for d cold air plant to his former partner, N. s. Me Callum. A petition signed by G. H. and thirty other citizens of the southwest part of town for an arc light at the s. F. P. & P. crossing near the corner of Seventh avenue and Jackson street, was received, but no. acted upon.

THE BIGGER CITY
Resolutions Adopted for ERidfging the Corporate
 Limits.
In NEW Stuck to be Taken in-The Water works and leverage Sys- fem Wul be Act Upon TOmur- row Night.

There was a council meeting last night into which mcre of importance was crowded than had ever occupied a board of aldermen since the incoFpo9a- ton Of Phoenix The two most Im- portant maters were the extens on oe the city limits and the issue Of $2o5, ,000 bonds for municipal water works and a sewerage system.
 Under direction by tke council at a late meeting, City Attorney Walter Bennett submitted four resolutions, au- thorizing the mayor to file a petition in district court compelling certain tracts of land adjacent to the city to become parts of the corporation. The city atucrney had caused the city en- gineer to prepare plats of the tra-ts which were described in the r5s0lu- tions. not as certain additions, but with reference to the original sections in which they had been surveyed. one of the resolutions included what is known as Dennis addition, another University addition; in ano her the Bennett, Seger and Orchard Grove tracts were grouped and the last and most important, de- scr1bed Murphy's addition. Messrs. Dyer and Sanders said they were willing to vote for the ad- .5aissiGia fer the first three groups, but
 hse~khe taking in of Mur- phy 9on, or at any rate, that part of it lyfng south of Jackson street. They wanted to avoid the reservation of prostitutes. MT. Sanders offered the the curious argument that the new block would be contaminating. The mayor was unable to see how 1t could become more so than it is now or how an extension of the city limits would change it's position with respect to To- calities now in that vicinity. He said that the city could not afford to be hemmed in and prevented from exten- sion by such an obstruction. He par ticular1y desired that the block should be absorbed. Whatever might result would be advantageous to Phoenix. If the prostitutes should be allowed to remain where they are they would be brought under control. If not, they would be driven out at least half a mile farther away. The resolutions went to vote. The first three were adopted unanimously. The last was adopted by the following vote: Yeas. the mayor, Messrs. Morford and Brooks; nays, Messrs. Dyer and San ders.
 City Attorney Bennett next present ed the form of the proposition to be submitted regarding the water works and sewer system. At a former meet ing the council had decided to offer two propositions, one for the water works and sewer and one for the water works alone. Ihe council believed last night that this double proposition would create confusion and concluded to present but one, including bo,-4 the water works and sewer A long dis cussion concerning the details of the special election and the form of the bonds to be issued followed without re- selting in a decision, and an adjourn
