DEATH OF W. P. HERMAN.
Found Unconcious in His Room After Put ting cut Fire From an Exploded Lamp.

ung out Fire From an Cxpiooeo Lamp.
 w. F. Herman, supervisor of the Grand Canyon Forest reserve, was fla tally burned on Monday night in his room in the Hicks Lodging house, and died from his injuries Tuesday night.
 He was in the habit of reading him. self to sleep, leaving the lamp burn ing, and it is supposed that he upset the lamp while asleep or that it ex- ploded.
 The table on which the lamp stood was at the head of the bed, and the oil was scattered over the table. It is evil dent that the fire awakened MT. Her. man and he probably subdued the flames, and in doing so, his feet and hands were burned, and that he inhal- ed both fire and smoke rendering him unconcious. But just how the acci- dent occurred will never be known as he did not recover consciousness before his death.
 He was discovered by Mrs. Hicks early in the morning who sent for Dr. Brannon and Manning, who did all they could for him.
 The table on which lay his hat and vest was charred and the garments burned so that on touch they fell in pieces. The room was blackened from :he smoke and every pane of glass in the window broken. How the fire was confined to the room is a mystery.
 MT. Herman was brother of Bin ger Herman, Commissioner of the gen eral land office. He was one of the pioneers of Oregon, his widow and four children residing in that state. He was a man of sterling integrity, a pleasant unasuming gentleman and during his residence here in the past two years made many friends.
 The remains were shipped to his Or egon home yesterday accompanied by

THROWN FROM 4 BUGGY.
Miss Ida Mann and Brother Victims
 of Runaway.

Late Saturday afternoon a horst attached to Mr. J. H. Mann's buggy became frightened on Main street and ran away.
 Mr. Mann and his sister, Miss Ida, were in the vehicle at the time. The frightened animal dashed wild ly south on Main and when nearing the corner of Third avenue and Main street the buggy tilted and ever turned. Both Mir. and Miss Mann were dashed violently to the ground while the horse continued it's reck- less flight. Fortunately neither of the occupants were severely injured, although they were slightly bruised.
 The horse was soon checked and wilh the exception of slight break age, the buggy was not damaged. The escape was a miraculous oue, and we are pleased to announce the favorable way in which the accident ended.

said that Oracle was The ideal place of all Arizona, ? he spoke from a knowledge of the facts and with truth. Its surroundings are most conducive to restful and healthful resort. Its winters are mild and delightful, and during the present summer the thermometer has regis tered 96 only three times and for few brief hours. Even then the heat is not oppressive, because of the mountain breezes and the ab- sence of humidity. It has been comfortable in the shade throughout the summer, and at night cool enough for blankets and comforts. The air is pure, bracing and invigo- rating, and the heat is not so ener- vating as in the low lands and in moist climates. There is also total absence of mosquitoes-I have not heard the familiar song of one this summer.

If every man had 10 put on the scales the weight of bis sweetheart in gold before he could marry her, 1 am afraid there would not be many marriages in this country, or any other. 1 have recently learned of a most remarkable instance of where the husband had to pay her weight in gold for his wife. The event oc
 cured many years ago in the State of Sonora, Mexico, few miles south of the Arizona line, The maid was a Mexican and her name was Guadaloupe Baragon and she was engaged to a cousin also named Baragon. Baragon applied to a priest to marry them, but he refus
 ed to do so or account of the young couples kinship But Baragon was persistent and finally the priest told him that if he would put his brides weight in gold on the scales he (the priest) would perform the ceremony
 This the bride groom consented to do. His bride was only IA years old at the time and fortunately
 weighed but 96 pounds. Baragon promptly put 96 pounds in gold on the scales, approximately worth

 Special Correspondence Of the Graphic;
 ORACLE, ABIz., Aug. 15.-The postofice of Oracle takes it's name from a mina about one mile from Acadia Ranch, where the postofice is located. Eighteen years ago when there were few inhabitants in this country the Oracle mine was worked, but because of the lack of facilities and the expensive modes of transportation, it was subeQuent- y abandoned. Recently, however, operations of the Oracle mine have been resumed and ore is now being taken therefrom in paying quanti- ties.
 The community of Oracle is really a< bright oasis in the great semi desert of Arizoha. Located in the foothills of the Santa Catalinas at an elevation of 4500 feet, surround ed by maIestie mountains witk here and there a preeipitous cliff or huge boulders assuming all sorts of gro tesque shapes, and with giant oaks and variety of green grasses and lwlld flowers on the mountain sides all combine to make a pleasing picturesque view. Verify, on the tops and sides of these mountains Full many a flower is born to blush unseen. And waste it's fragrance on the desert air
 At the present season the yerdure of the valleys and mountains is es- peciaIly brilliant and beautiful, and under the various lights and shad- ows, with cons tantly changing hues. present a scene of novel and uneud- ing interest.
 There are many drives in and around Oracle, and nothing is more dellghtful-especially at this season of the year when the foliage is green and fragrant and the numerous species of cacti are in flower or fruit ing-than drive over the noun tain roads and across the grassy mesas or down through the canyons with their precipitous and pictur- esque sides.
 Game is also abundant in thls vi cinity. At aLd around Oracle are to be found quail, doves, rabbits and squirrels; in the mountains deer, bear and small mountain lions, and on an extensive mesa four miles from Oracle and at the foot of An telope Peak is the antelope country One of the most thrilling experience es l ever had or enjoyed was the chase, n company with St. Louis an few days ago, of flock of halt dozen autelopes across the prairie for distance ot several miles. But the animals are exceedingly shy, and 1t is almost impossible to get shot at even one of them. However, the chase, with the prospect of possi- ble or an occasional shot, is Q very exciting and exhilarating expert ence.

A f6w miles from Acadia Ranch is the sheep ranch of BayIess & Berka. lew. This IS one of the Iergest, if not the largest, sheep ranch in Ari- zona. These gentlemen have over 5000 head on their ranch. Recently they imported a large number of pure bred Merino rams from Mis- souri, at considerable expense. These rams are most interesting, They are large and heavy and the fluffy folds of fat and wool around their neeks and bodies are most pe- culiar. These rams become so heavy with fleece that they have to be sheared semi-annually, averag- ing about 15 pounds of wool per head at each clipping. The horns of these animals are most graceful.
 On account of the heavy importa- tions of WOO. just prior to the pass age of the Dingley tariff bill and the consequent low price, Messrs. Bay
 less & Berkalew have not sod any wool for two years. They there fore have between 50, GOO aud 75, GOO pounds of wool, the clippings of two seasons, on hand. However, wool is rapidly advancing and before long this wool will be shipped to Boston. These gentlemen have oyer $10, ,000 invested in wells, wind mills, pipes and tanks alone Their corralsafor watering purposes are near large prairie where grasses grow most abundantly, making an excellent pasture. Could water be secured on this prairie mesa, the land would be of exceptional value. In addition to their sheep ranch, Mess's. Bay less & Berkalew have number of other ranches on the San Pedro riv- CT, as well as extensive interests in New York, Kansas and Arizona.

-. --e.-4.s must be found in Section ?, ArtiGAe l9, of the State Constitution, which reads as follows: Nothing in this Constitution shall be So construed as to prohibit the General Assembly from authorizing assessments Dn real property for local improve ments in towns and cities under such regulations as may be pre- scribed by law to be based upon she consent of majority, In value, of the property-h holders owning prop erty adjoining the locality to be affected It was held by the Su~ preme Court of the State ih the case of the City of Little Rock ss. katzenstein that the above proyis-- ion of the Constitution applies so any property adjoining or near tho improvement, which is physically affected directly by the improve ment to degree in excess of tha effect upon the property in the city generally. 1t would be a demon- strable mistake for the city conn eil to put Third and Fourth avenveB upon neither of which street car line could be constructed, into district with Fourteenth avenue, upon which you might construct car line.
 The property taxed must be in the locality effected by the ixn~ provement. h the language of the act establishing the improvement district, it must be a local iHn- provement Q. public nature lt is well established principle Of law that you cannot tax by implication, but you must have direct ann specific authority. The charter laws of the city authorize the form ation of taxing distyict for lighk- ing plants, sewerage, waterworks, paying streets, etc, but it nowhers mentions street cars either ex pressly or by implication. In strict application of the law it has no statute upon which to stand and is repugnant to the Constitution itself. A street ear enterprise Is purely prospective, whose losses may largely outweigh it's profits and in the end possibly result in the confscation of property. Eyi- dently in that event it is not an mprovement, and at best from legal point of view, but public convenience for rapid and easy transportation.
 Gen. H. King White was the next speaker to address the meeHDg. He said that he concurred in tbe views expressed by the city attor- ney that an improvement district to build and operate street car line, was not authorized by law, aud without express authority. The authority could not be implied and while he favored municipal owEer- ship of all such franchises he could see no way out of the present sitn- ation except to wait for the legis- lature.
 He strongly urged the Commer- cial League to take steps to or- ganize car-building establisb-- ment, cited the fact that every such an enterprise in the country was making large money and that the opportunity here vas better s6aD anywhere in the country. He calI- ed attent ton to the fact that it was through the tfforts of the League tha. the largest saw mill plant h Arkansas, the Sawyar & Austin, was being established af Pine Bluff, and that millions of feet of rough lumb Der, in little whilg. would be manufactured, shipped away and sent back here in the

Mayor Jones. the Socialist of Toledo.
has announced himself a candidate for
governor of Ohio without waiting for
a call from any political party and on
a platform OF his own manufacture,
take IL or let IL alone. Mayor Jones'
platform is composed OF five plsnks- in
chief, the first of which is that political
parties are unnecessary to politics and
ipdfed ought to be abolished in the i'm
terests of free government and mans.
hood suffrage. OF course. Mayor Jones
would naturally hold this view under
the circumstances. since he failed to
get nomination at the hands OF either
party when he was ambitious to be
mayor Of Toledo. And he has i'm his
own case and so far as he has gone
shown that fellow can get there I'm
American politics without a party or
ganization more than a few weeks old
behind him. Now that Jones is pre-
pared to save his state as well as his
city il only remains to be seen if Ohio
is ready yet 10 be saved.
