avenue, and to the street line of Third avenue, was brought up. It was in- stantly and vigorously opposed by Councilman Dyer on account of doubling the danger by street cross ings and the conversion of a public thoroughfare into a private railroad yard. MT. DeMund replied that he owned all the ground on the north side of the alley and proposed to construct warehouses which would be a semi public benefit. Councilman Dyer said the city could not afford to grant this permit at this time. Phoenix was some time going to be a town of 25,OOO. Never" said MT. DeMund, If you're going to restrict enterprise in this way"
 Attorney Lyman presented remon- strance against the franchise signed by large number of property owners in that part of town. The whole mat ter was referred to the streets and al- leys committee.
 An ordinance was passed requiring residents to place all garbage refuse in boxes or other safe receptacles in the alley in the rear of their houses daily. If they fail to do so they may be fined not exceeding S1O0. The ordinance does not suggest any way to enforce the pay ment of the fine.

THE LEON TRAGEDY
That Look Bad for
 Romero.

The body of Guadalupe Leon, who was murdered, or who committed sui
 eide in a canal workers camp near Peoria on Friday night, was buried yesterday but the inquest is still in 11rogress. There was a misunderstand- ing about the session yesterday. Jus t;ce Gray went out to Peoria yeSter- day morning to continue it, but the witnesses and jurors understanding that the sitting had been adjourned until tomorrow, became scattered, some coming to the city and others going elsewhere The inquest will probably be concluded today. In the meantime Romero, the suspect, is in jail with some dark facts against him and his case is not being improved by some of his over-jealous friends who are engaged in concocting an unrea- sonable and unnecessary alibi to offset the fact that Romero's bloody knife was found lying by the side of the dead man.
 It is claimed now that another man who is said to have gone up the river for a few days" will swear that he was sleeping on a cot with Romero near by Leon; that about 3 o'clock in the morning Leon awOke them by asking Romero for his knife. Romero gave it to him and he and his com panions immediately fell asleep and did not awake until daylight when they found Leon cold and dead.
 There is one circumstance that leaves almost no doubt that the man was murdered. He was found to be dead with the bed clothing drawn up closely under his chin and over all was an oil-skin coat. The men in the camp supposing that his death was natural did not disturb the clothing but sent a messenger to town. When officers reached the camp the body lay in precisely the condition in which it had been found. When they turned the clothing down it was dis covered for the first time that the man had died a violent death. The knife lay on the left side of the body against the hip, while the hands were held over the wound above the heart. It seemed doubtful if he could have drawn the long blade of the knife out and placed it where it was found. But stranger than all, supposing he had been able to do it by a violent mus cular action, was the undisturbed con- d1tlon of the bed clothing.
 No motive has been discovered though why Romero or any one else should murder him.

A Former Employee of The PhoenIx
 PoStofftCe.

l The remains of the late Charles A.
 Herman, who died at Long Lake,
 Minn., on Thursday last, arrived here

While in Montana, on February T. 1891, he married Miss Bertha Smul- len, who now survives him. Returning from Montana to Le Sueur, MT. Her man enga aged in the livery business, but about two years ago was obliged to seek another climate and went to Phoe- nix, Ariz.

PHOENIX GREW
Dennis Addition Taken Into inc City
 Last Night

A special meeting of the city council was held last night, principally for act
 ing upon matters in connection with
 the proposed extension of the city lim-
 it's. It had been understood that peti-
 tions would be presented by residents of many of the additions upon which the city casts longing eye and that the impending litigation, or much of it, would be avoided. It was especially expected that the Murphy addition would be heard from.
 Judge Woodward read a petition from Dennis addition, the list of sign CTS he said representing all but four in the addition and an overwhelming vol ume of the property in it. In speaking of his addition, Judge Woodward per Sistently or rather, habitually, referred to it as that ward" thereby disclos- ling the political purpose of the signers. The petition had been previously sub mitted, but now it was incorporated in an ordinance. It was so evident that the list represented all that was required that the formality of referring it to the city assessor and tax collector for verifcation was dispensed with and the ordinance put on passage and passed by unanimous vote, thus mak- ing Dennis addition a part and parcel of the city of Phoenix.
 There was also a petition for the ad- mission of SimmS' addition before the council. It was also overwhelmingly signed, but was not accompanied by an ordinance. The city attorney was ac- cordingly directed to prepare one and it will be passed at the next meeting.
 
 what else the city gets out of the north and northwest it will have to fight for. Councilman Sanders taking this view, said that as a general principle he was opposed to administering government without the consent of the governed, but in this case he was disposed to drag the nearby additions in, since they were now almost surrounded by the city and had no valid excuse for hanging. The council authorized the employment of additional counsel to assist in the prosecution of the cases. Those localities in the northern addi- tions in which the opposition is more dense and more nearly unanimous have applied for a severance of their cases, and this application will be heard in district court next Saturday.
 City Health Officer pr. Hughes de- scribed to the council an unsanitary condition of vaults, and the council adopted a resolution authorizing the city marshal to cause an early and general improvement to be made.

DEATH IN A CYCLONE.
scores of Lives Los, NJ Klrkviils. Missouri
and Other Potnta

and Other Points.
st. Louis, April PA special to the
Globe Democrat from kirksville, Mis-
souri,. says;
A gathering storm that had been
threatening all the afternoon, broke
upon Kirksville at 6:3O o'clock tonight
In all the fury OF n cyclone.
A path n quarter OF a mile wide and
as clean as the prairie was swept
through the eastern portion of the city
and 400 buildings. houses and mercan-
tile. were leveled to the ground in
scattered ruins.
In the heavy rain that followed, the
people who had escaped turned out to
rescue the injured. For two hours not
much was accomplished. as all was
confusion. but by 8 O'Clock twenty
Ave bodies had been taken from the
ruins.
1t is confidently expected that the
list OF dead will reach between fifty
and sixty. II not exceed that. Almost
a thousand people We're more or less in
jured. Daylight will be necessary be-
fore an adequate conception Of the de-
struction of life and property can be
had. Each blanched face reports new
calamity.
On both sides OF the storms path the
fiercely. In all probability number
of bodies have been incinerated. The
storm first struck the eastern portion
OF the city near that part coupled by
the boarding houses of the students of
the American School of Ostcopathy,
the State Normal School and McWard's 5
Seminary.
1t was just supper time for the stud
ents and 1t is thought probable the list
of dead will be well filed with stud
ents. rs a large number of these board
ing houses were demolished
AS far as known tonight these three
institutions of learning escaped the
storm. The storm then went north
west and wiped out Pattcrson's nur-
sery, pulling the trees out of the
ground and hurling them through the
city.
A second edition OF the cyclone fol-
lowed the first. twenty minutes later.
1t came rs an inky black cloud. widely
distributed. and covered the whole
town. but passed above the houses. do
ing no material damage and gathering
fury as II went. 1t undoubtedly struck

Saved q Vessel.

Springfield (Mo) Correspondence to
st. Louis Globe Democrat: Mrs Sarah
Eversol, an old lady OF this city. Is
trying to secure a pension for saving
a government vessel from capture in
1861. Mrs. Eversol then lived at Com
merce. Scott county. Mo. On Decem-
ber 20. 1861. the rebel general, Jeff NJ.
Thompson. captured the town of Com
merce and q portion of the Federal
garrison stationed there. The Missis-
sippi river was then thronged with
boats in the government service, and
the City OF Alton happened to be due
at Commerce on an upward trip about
the time the rebels entered the place.
Gen. Thompson had his eye on the
rich river prize as soon as the boat
came in sight. and began to post his
men behind some ricks Of cord wood in
order to capture the steamer when It
should reach the landing. All the
women had been ordered to leave the
river bank, but Mrs. Eversol refused
to 60 away, and prepared to signal the
approaching vessel. She took a posi-
tion close to the landing and waved
her handkerchief In warning to the
boat as 1t steamed UP toward the con-
cealed enemy. The signal was not un-
derstood, and the boat continued to ap-
proach the landing. The steamer had
rounded to, and the deck hands were
getting ready to throw out the gang
way, when Mrs. Eversol shouted at the
top of her voice, Don't land! The
rebels have captured the town. Then
the captain of the vessel saw the dan
ger, and began to back away from the
landing. The rebels opened fire on the
boat and riddled the pilot house with
bullets. No one on the vessel was nit
by the fire Of the rebels. and the City
of Alton steamed back to Cairo.
The story of Mrs. Eversols' loyal
deed spread among the rivermen and
Federal officers, and soon she mad more
than local fame. After the capture OF
Fort Donelson, when Gen. Simon B.
Buckner was brought up the river a
prisoner, Mrs. Eversol went on to the
boat at Commerce to see the distin-
guished captive. The rebel general
had heard of the Union heroine. and
showed her particular attention.
Several years ago Mrs. Eversol who
had become a widow, made an applica-
tion for pension, basing her claim on
the service rendered the government
in saving the boat from capture. The
proof of the war incident was made
out and placed in the hands OF the con-
gresham from this district Before
the matter could be introduced in con-
gress all the papers were lost. The
preparation of the proof had cost the
widow much time and considerable
money, and she was very unhappy ON
account of the misfortune. Mrs. Ever
sol has Just passed her 18th birthday.
She is poor, and an effort has been
started to revive her pension claims.
Many Of the witnesses whose evidence
could once have been had to prove
the story of the saving OF the steam
boat from the rebels are now dead.
and the woman fears it will be difficult
to establish her claims.
