 CAN ACCOMMODATE MANY. Tt
 is surprising said E. w. Gillett, gen. eral agent of the Santa Fe, Prescott 6t Phoenix railway, yesterday, what ca pacity Phoenix has for accommodat- ing the travelling public. The other day several citizens began counting up the capacity of the second story apart
 ments facing on Washington street, and before they got through with their labors they had enumerated accommo- dations for fully 1000 people. Tourist travel never commenced so early before as it has this season and is usually heavy, but Phoenix will be able to ac- commodate all who come.'
 THE FIRE.-At 1z o'clock last night
 a fire alarm was turned in from the box at the corner of East Madison and
 Fifth street near block fl. The fire company made a good run and in less
 than fifteen minutes after the alarm they were back at the fire house, and had the fire in the engine pulled and the horses in their stalls. The alarm proved not only false but was unques- tionably the work of some miscreant who will be severely dealt with should his identity become known. It hap pened that City Marshal Hooker and Robert Fromm, chief of the depart ment, had passed the place but mo- ment before and were oD the opposite side of the block when the alarm sounded and were at the box before it stopped ringing. The party that turn ed in the alarm had made a rapid move shortly after, for no trace of him could be found. There was no sign of a fire anywhere or any excuse for the act.

When the train left St. Louis she discovered that her pockets had been worked by an enterprising thug, who took the S20 and left her with only 35 cents to make the journey with Had it not been for the kindness of other travellers she would doubtless have suffered for food during her journey, but though her position was embarrass she sue ceeded in getting enough to eat, though she was out of money when she reached here. Landlord Teare of the Hardwick found her at the Santa Fe depot yesterday and gave her enter tainment till the northbound train left last night.
