PENNEY & ROBINSON,

Flannigan. The thing the conference or a part of it desired was to get at the roads whose franchises exempt them from taxation for certain term ot years. It was inquired if a license could not be imposed MT. Flannigan, reading from law and decisions, said this could be done and had, in fact, been successfully done ill Wisconsin, notwithstanding efforts by the railroad companies to resist it. MessrS. Brown. Marshall and KohleT were appointed a committee to confer with Attorney General Ains7>orth on this subject.
 It was also resolved to ask the leg islatu.e to repeal the law of two years ago making the office of assessor elect i've and to legalize the action of such boards of supervisors as had appointed assessors, pending th9 operation of that law, which will not go into effect until February 1. This request will be put into the form of bill with a prayer that it be railr0aded through.
 The last action Of the day taken by the conference was upon a petition respecting the fees of county assessors. Under a law of 1887 assessors were al lowed to retain 25 cents on each poll tax collected. Their right to this fec has been brought into question. The petition requests the legislature to Ie- galiZe the retention of such fees al ready collected and to clearly estab- fish the right of assessors to retain them in the future. This petition was agreed to and the committee appointed to meet the governor called upon him.

HURLED INTO COURT
DreCipifafe Petition in inc Mailer of
 Spaui'S Estate.

It is seldom that petition is filed for letters of administration upon ones estate before he is buried if there is any likelihood that he is go- ing to be buried within a reasonable time. But that legal step was taken yesterday in the matter of the estate of Jos eph B. Spaul, who died at 10 o'clock the night before. The estate was not large and it was by no means sura that it was solvent enough to pay the fun eral expenses. That was one reason why the estate was thrown into pro bate ecu t so hurriediy Spaul died ssized Of a couple of horses, a wagon, a gun, a watch and implements for the manufacture of root beer. There were also many creditors. Preferred cred ltors under the law are the under takers, and those who minister to the deceased in his last illness. Such min 1Stratlon may consist of medical at tendance CT furnishing money for medicine, or whatever a man in his last sickness may require. Some Of the earlier creditors of Spaul got to- gether and laid claim to certain arti- cles Of his estate upon the theory that they had been loaned to him and not sold on account. They were about to distribute the estate in a manner that would not only avoid court expense. but would leave other creditors with out pro rata and would leave no IT cans for paying funeral expenses. Hence the petition.

tree just beyond the cemetery. east of town. He was too much excited or frightened to look at the corpse, hence was unable to tell who it was. The sheriff and others immediately repaired to the spot and atone identified the body as that of Brown. He still held a revolver in his right hand, with his finger on the trigger. A ghastly look ing hole, just back of the right ear, clearly showed the deadly use to which 1t had been put. Death must have been instantaneous.
 Deceased was formerly engaged in mining and was probably one of the best known mining men on the Pacific coast, having been engaged in this business in Virginia City. Gold Hill, Pioche, Nevada, as well as other points. He came to Arizona as super intendent of the Tip Top mine and has resided in the territory ever since. In later years he has been engaged in the hotel business in Maric0pa, Phoenix and Prescott, the last mining that he did having been on Cherry creek a few years ago.
 About two years ago he suffered paralytic stroke from which he nearly died, but recovered sufficiently to be able to get around, though unable to do anything. He has recently had finan- ciai and other troubles, which, with his physical inf1rmity, is supposed to have so preyed upon his mind that he came to the conclusion that the easiest way out of his troubles was to put an end to his existence

SUPREME COURT
The Case of Wiser VS. LawIer Filled
 Up Yesterday.

All of yesterday in supreme court was taken up in the argument o; Wiser, appellant, vs. Lawler, appellee, from Yavapai county. The case is not yet finished. By reason of the prominence of some of the persons In one way or another connected with it this is one of the most interesting mining suits ever brought in this territory. The property involved includes several min ing claims in Yavapai county located by the appellee. These claims were sold to 8 party of eastern capitalists, the foremost of whom was H. H. War ner of Rochester, N. " famous as the proprietor of remedies for the regula- tiOn of the human liver. Tie purchase price was $250, ,000, of which $51 900 was paid. Warner and lfls associates went east and formed what was called the Industrial company, out of which grew the Seven Stars Mining company which caused 300 600 prOspectUses to be issued and distributed throughout the civilized world. Many o1 them were sent to Arizona. No more money was ever paid on the mining claims and under an alleged provision of the con- tract with Warner and his party, they reverted to Lawler and his associates. Wiser, on the part Of himself and other stockholders in the Seven Stars, brought suit against L3wler, alleging that he was a party with Warner. Even the Police Gazette of New York figures in the case indirectly, a conversation between Warner and the manager of that religious periodical having been int oduced to show that Lawler could have had no part in the promulgation of that prospectus

SMALLPOX TREATMENT.
Whereby the Disagreement May Be
 Avoided.

Gases of variola and varioloid com ing under the observation of one. of our local physicians recently, says the Prescott Courier, will be of great in terest to the medical world and as well to people generally, when the results are made known, as people can be inn mune and in those cases where the di." ease is fully developed loathsome dis fgurements entirely prevented.
 It was found that the blood cor puscles of people infected with small pOS or varioloid showed under a 1-16- inch microscope objective an. an a,T gregation in irregular punches in stead of the regular pile form as in healthy blood. This change is absO- lutely diagnostic and unmistakable.
 This was known to Dr. w E. Day of this city nearly thirty years ago, while he was medical officer in the United States army, engaged in the microscopy ic study of all germs Of infectious and epidemic diseases The present case has verified without doubt the original discovery.
 4 new discovery in medical medica- ton has been made by the doctor whereby all disagreement in the worst, or continent, eases is entirely prevented by the use or hydroZone, properly di- luted, as a wash; also the internal ad- ministration of glycOzOne, the most powerful and harmless germ destroyer known, and as well an oxidizing agent rapid and energetic.
 As matter Of fact the discoverer. Dr. Day, claims he can and has i'm muned numerous cases after infection and entirely destroyed the germs of variola and variolOid in the system.

USSERYS RIDE
The Round About Way He went
 Toward Capture.

Sheriff Armstrong of Gila county ar rived in town yesterday to subpoena witnesses in the case of King Ussery, who was lately captured at Mammoth, charged with stealing four race horses from John Give in Tonto Basin couple of months ago. The witnesses desired are perons who saw Ussery in the course of his flight through this region. The chase was described by the Republican at the time. Ussery was pursued by Give and others into Peoples valley, where his trail was lost in the first heavy snow of the sea son. It was supposed that he was headed for Utah with the horses and nothing more was heard from him un- til it was learned that he had come in an exactly opposite direction and was stopping at Mammoth. Leaving Pee pes valley, he went south to the low CT Gila where he was met by a man named Gatlin, who had assisted him in the theft of the horses and came with him out of TOnto Basin toward Phoenix as far as the Arizona canal, where he left him and went on south. Meeting Ussery on the lower Gila, Gatlin took one of the horses and re- turning east to Fort Grant sold it. The other horses were left about eighty miles below Phoenix, where they now are. Ussery is a cousin of the man he robbed and had been often befIiended by him. He was not with cut prevous criminal experience He has served a term in the territorial penite entiary for stage robbery, hay ing been convicted along with one of the Blevins.

When ex-Sheriff Leathe1wood, as agent for the United States was last heard from by Gov eTnOr Murphy he was at Guaymas, whither Temple had bean taken before a federal judge as a preliminary to being SUIT CT dered to the American au- thOrities That was more than a yeek ago. He then expected to reach No- gales with Temple on January "A. It was somewhat important that he should do so since the eX- tradition treaty with Mexico would expire on the midnight of that day. Sheriff Wakefield of Pima county said at when he left Tucson early ye terday morning, no word I ad been received there from the ex-sheriff and his prisoner.

TOM BROWNS DEATH.
Why and How He Committed Sui
 eide.

Tom Brown is doad, and his death was caused by his own hands, says the Prescott JOuI nal-Miner.
 About half past four or five o'clock last evening he left his home on Ma rina street, telling his wife, so the lat ter says, that he intended walking just as far as he could and thsn would con- nit suicide. While she did not take the threat seriously at first she later gave the alarm and Robert Brow, B. H. Smith and ether friends, started searching parties out in quest of him. Every place where it was thought he might hava gone was visited the saaTCh for him being kept up during the night.
 As the night wore on and no tidings of the missing man were heard, the impression gained ground that it was no idle threat that ha had made, but that his words were those of a desper- ate and determined man.
 Just before noon a boy in a very ex- citsd state Of mind came breathlessly into town and reported that he had just discovered a dead man under a pine

Of course the town is not the thriving place it was in years gone by; but it is not so deserted as many outside have been led to believe. There are about one thousand inhabitants at the present time, women and children pre- dominating. Men working in other parts of the county, particularly at mining camps, leave their families in Tombst0ne, which accounts for the women and children being in the ma jority. Some work is being done

THE SOUTH AND EXPANSION.

Henry Waters in the Courier-Jour-
nal: 1.-The deadly danger to democracy
is the misleading cry of 'anti-imperial-
ISM 1t is a Pigment of the fancy OF a
few old women in Boston and the igno-
rance Of a few ~unrefecting and half
educated demagogues in the west and
south. If the democratic party should
adopt il the party would have first to
surrender to Aguinaldo and then to give
itself over to COD, for even Grandma
Hoar could not be relied on to vote the
ticket.
''Tbe south may be lured for a time
by false cries. But the south, with its
short cut to the Pacific before it, will
never give up its chance of revivifica-
ton through the developments of the
Pacific.
''The chief if not the sole hope OF the
Gulf states is the completion of the Nj
caragua canal and the Occidental outlet
there created.
Both the future of cotton and the So
luton of the negro problem lie 10 that
direction. Hawaii and the Philippines
constitute the basic principle of our pow
er in the new world opening up in the
Pacific. If the young gentleman who
rode the democratic steeplechase lose
but another national race they are lost.
The south, already FESTIVE and uncer-
tain, will follow them no further. 1t
will turn and rend them. The north
and east will stick to no leader whe in
the remotest conjecture con be suspect
ed and accused of p purpose to haul
down the American flag and to limit
either the glory and the power or the
territorial dimensions of the United
States"
