CATION of the members CT Tempe lodge
No. s, l. o. o. F.. last evening visited
Phoenix lodge No. 2. Visitors were
also present from Globe and other
territorial points. as we'll as quite a
number from outside the territory,
which indicates that the winter tide of
tourist travel has set in. There was

FOR THE WIDOW AND ORPHAN.
The A. o. U. w. yesterday paid the
life insurance, $4,000 on the life of
the late W. A. McGinnis. With the
consent of the widow the money was
turned over to the administrator of
the estate, Captain P. P. Parker. The
mortgage on an almond orchard on the
south side will be paid, and all either
claims against the estate will be called
in. There will be left $500 for the pur-
chase of a home and it is estimated
1erOT1 ant fb.o
orchard may be made to yield SIS
month.
ARC LIGHT ROW. The il}umina-
tion advertised by the merchants
along Washington street between Wall
street and First avenue. was in evil
dence last night as per agreement and
will continue to be in evidence from
now on. All the merchants who have
new lights had their places of bust
ness decorated expressly for the occa-
sion. Mr. Doll is cut of town and his
light has not yet been placed, but it
will be attended to as soon as he re-
turns. 1t is believed the other mer-
chants along the street will follow
suit and they certainly ought to. as at
present the balance of Washington
street, which has hitherto been consid-
cred brilliantly lighted, now locks like
80 cents.
POPCORN JOHN. John Ruben
stein, who has brought happiness to
thousands of people through the sale
of popcorn at the band concerts, on
circus days and at various ether times,
recently branched out in business and
became a contractor on the-PnOenlX
and ScCttsdale mail route. Prosperity,
aff1uence and the control Of public bus
mess, however, brought to Mr.. Ruben
stein its attendant troubles, just as 1t
did to Rockefeller, Vanderbilt and Jay
Gould. His operations brought him
into contact with A L. Strait a day or
SO agto and during thsir negotiations
he led the latter to believe that he
would be called upon to assimiiate a !
quantity of lead and that he would be f!
assisted in the assimilation by a well i
loaded shotgun. OF course the next /
act was in justice Johnsbone's court. /
md the only way ne could ring down /
he curtain was by putting up S12.75 !
o the stage manager.
