DEATH OF MRS. n. c. WILSON.

In the passing away of Mrs. N. G.
Wilson. whose death occurred shortly
after II o'c,oci on Wednesday evening,
Phoenix as q community suffers the
loss of one of those kindly spirits
whose influence is to touch the heart
and 20 stir the soul to nobler and bet
ter aspirations. Kind OF hears, gen
erc'us to a fault, with a genial hospi-
tality which extended Itself alike to
stranger and friend, talented, always
filed with a desire to make happiness
for CthO-s, to those who were 50 fCr-
tunate as to call her friendship theirs
she lacked nothing of q perfection of
lwomanly tenderness and gentle Chris
tianity. Her fC-titude, maintained far
beyond h5r physical strength and al
most to the last moment, inspired hope
in the hearts OF those who watched
tenderly for possible improvement. a
trip to the mountains had been planned
and it's possible BIZ efits anxiously an
ticipated by all; but upon the day set
for departure the gentle spirit calmly
and peacefully took flight to these al
titudss to which the soul alone as
pires. The deceased was bern in
jM0u,ton, Iowa, April 3, 1875, and mas
been a resident of Phoenix fer over
four years, in which she has gained an
ever widening circle OF most sincere
! fri-Eds 1t is TWO years since, as
Leona Woodbridge, she married Mr..
! Wilson, and the deep affection exist
| ing between TIE two has ever been the
cause for admiration among th0sa who
knew them best. AS enc Of the most
genial spirits in the commercial life OF
Phoenix M. Wilson viii receive the
sympathy of his associates, and the
! family that of the entire community.
Arrangements Icr the funeral have not
been completed, and annour cements
will be made later

CITY POLITICS.
The Democrats Vote on the Caucus
Delegates.

The tamest political proceeding that
ever took place in Phoenix was tho
holding of thfsl democratic primaries
yesterday fer the election of delegates
to the democratic city convention next
Saturday. There was hardly cor
poraTs guard at any Of the wards ex-
cept the famous Third, where there
are usually more votes cast at a demo-
cratic r.imary than there are demo-
cratic and republican votes in the
ward Only thirty-five votes WeI5 clss
there. The election of the caucus
ticket was therefore purely formal
Only a single name was scratched and
it Vas scratched in only enc place.
That was the name of Thomas E.
Parish. The scratcher did not expect
to defeat him, but he embraced that
opportunity to show him that ne lTas
not the unanimous idol of the demo-
cratic party. The following was the
caucus ticket and is the list of dele-
gates:
First Wards J. Nicholson, w. B.
Lcunt, G. P Billiard, S. w Scott, J.
K. Burnett, F. NJ Mognett, Gus Hirsch-

PRELIMINARY DROUTH
Another Rough Riders Story OF
Colonel Roosevelt.

Every time a group of Rough Riders
get together interesting scraps OF per-
sonal characteristics CT the officers OF
the famous regiment leaks out. One
story told of Colonel Roosevelt, but
the trooper relating it fnsisted on
calling the colonel Teddy" was told
by Hank Remminey of Geronimo, ella
Valley. Hank is universally respected
On account of his record with the com
mand. the notches on his domestic ar
tfllery before he enlisted and his fame
&C an all-rorpnd cowboy. Teddy"
said Hank, 'dwon my respect before we
left San Antonio, Texas. Such cussed
drilling we were put through made me
mad. Teddy had us going through
regimental drill day after day, six and
eight hours a day About the third
day we had the dust SO thick that we
could not see to preserve distance be
tween fours and one day half the regl-
ment trotted over the body CT jim
Goodwin, before his riderless horse
was discovered in his set of TOURS SIM
said the dust settled en- him so thick
If made him blind, deaf, dumb and top
heavy, and over he went. [ got MAD
and went and told Teddy that the
dust was - dry. He says, HANK.
at the same time handing me
cigar and taking me by the ear with
one of those fine, lady-like hands of his
/ane looking through me; just like the
way the great Napoleon used to 90
with his soldiers, it is dry and hot
but if you stay by this game it will be
a d sight hotter and drier than
anything you ever saw in Texas or
Arizona
Hank sighed and with a sad, far
away look said: From the way things
turned out, Teddy was correct ano
only proved what a long head he mas
Let's irrigate to the memory of the
Rough Riders and this gaIIani

Riley's crime was an outrageous as
sault on a little girl
James L. Taylor, held to the grand
jury On a charge of shooting at Ed
Reed with a purpose to remove him
permanently from Phoenix, was hon
cra.bly discharged by unanimous vote
of the grand jury. Taylor had no wit
nesses. hut the circumstances were in
his favor. as was also his reputation
as an industrious and honest printer.
He had a well sustained theory that
he was acting in self defense when he
pulled his gun.
The grand jury has gotten so well
along with its work that it could afford
to adjourn yesterday earlier than
usual After the disposition of the
criminal business of the day the civil
case of the Tempe Canal Southern Ex-
tension company VS.. Mons Elingson
was taken up and was still unfinished
when court adjourned.
A veni-e of fifty trial jurymen re-
turnable April 81 was drawn.

fire in the city and the engines are in
use outsida that they shah at one
respond 30 the city alarm, but when
,hey are not needed in the city let
them be used TO save neighb0f1nG
property In nOGhern towns engineS
ana firemen frequently go to the aid
of other cities and villages. 1t would
be a burning shame if one OF the
suburbs Of Phoenix owned in part by
men anxious for annexation should be
destroyed for lack of a little aid from
fire apparatus standing idle.
We need not wonder that some IN
kind words are heard, or that some one
should say Il don't want to go into
partnership with a man who will not
lift his hand to help me when my
house is burning" It is impossible
for men to reason calmly when theil
homes are burning.
Again I plead for such a change in
the municipal laws as will enable our
fire department when not needed else
where to go to the aid of neighb0Ts IN
distress. They would do this. law @
no law, should Mr. Tafbot's house take
fire tomorrow. It might be a matter
of life or DEATH MIR Talbot is spoken
of in this connection because he is q.
representative citizen, one OF the most
pCtpular business men in the city and
is on record in The Republican as
favoring annexation. OF course it IS
admitted that when a man wishes to
stay cG35 of the CITY simply to avoid
paying taxes while reaDing many OF
tine benefits Of taxes paid by city resi-
dents he does not deserve aid from the
city. L. H.

ARGUMENT BETTER
THAN a CLUB

To the Editor of The Republican:
Si.: l sincerely regret the action
recently taken whereby the Phoenix
fire department is forbidden TO give. aid
in case of necessity to- citizens outside
Of Che corporation whose property is
threatened with destruction by fire.
That this aid is net always deserved is
no reason why it should not be given.
The action taken will El3t stand the
tzst when the supreme moment comes
any more than it did when kind
hearted Mayor Dyer and brave Coun-
Gilman Sanders said, LET the boys
go and help those who are being
burned out of house and home" Blood
is thicker than water Humanity viii
help save d drowning man. We all
know that if the homes OF certain men
living outside the city limits were
burning, the firemen would break a
dozen laws to help them, and would
suffer no punishment. F)cr, let it ba
remembered that some OF these homes
they are now forbidden to help belong
t. the men who are working hardest
and making the NEST sacrifices to
bring the suburbs into the city. Phoe-
nix needs these additions and ought to
have them for benefit and protection
of all concerned, but the result will
/ be gained by argument and persuasion
Eather than by coercion Americans
are net easily driven. 1t is b9tter to
prove to a man that it pays 10 do !.
thing than to say, You must do it. y
4 do not believe that the city should
injdra itself in order to aid its neigh
bOrs. Let the law be that if there is a

Dixon then ordered all aboard, and
they descended adadder into the boat
through manhole in the top.
The cover was fastened from the in
side and the queer craft moved slowly
out into the harbor, only partly sub
merged. A shell dropped in the water
and exploded so near that the waves
from the disturbance nearly swamped
the boat, but she righted herself and
kept straight course for the outer
bar.
The Housatonic that night lay silent
and dark, as if resting from her MUIR
derous labors of the day.
A red light burned at her masthead
and an r-Crosby-pacedh her decks
slowly and alone. He was watching the
red and blue signal rockets that rose
majestically high into the night from
the flagship of the squadron.
Presently he looked out over the bay,
and his attention settled on a long,
low, black thing which came drifting
toward him over the ripping waves.
1t was like loose plank in the water.
He watched it intently for few sec
onds, then suddenly realizing the peril
of his vessel, he ran at his utmost speed
for the pilot house, shouting at the top
of his voice:
"a torpedo on the starboard! A tor
pedo on the starboard,"
He rang all hands on deck, and as
| they tumbled out he gave frantic orders
to start the engines and back away.
They cut away the cables, the engines
began to throb, and the whole ship
trembled with the first motions of get
ting under way.
She was too late. The few seconds
Crosby had spent in observation of
1.-The plank" cost him dearly.
Dixon and his strange craft had
closed in on him and struck the Housa-
tonic in the side, little forward of
the mainmast.
There was an explosion that was
heard far out in the harbor, and the
force threw the ship over on her side.
When she settled again the sea poured
into her through an immense hole that
had been knocked in her side.
In four minutes there were only a
few spars protruding from the water
where the stately ship went down and
| a crowd of officers and men were cling
| ing in the rigging, freezing in the Feb
ruary night. They were rescued by
other ships of the fleet
With the success of DiXon's eXpedi-
| ton came, too, the finale he had eX-
pected. When the Housatonic sank the
pugnacious little boat went down with
her, locked fast in her broken timbers.
Years after, when they raised the
sodden hulk of the Housatonic from the
harbor, they found the bones of Dix
| on and his comrades in the ''cigar boat -
| and they threw them back into the
| sea.-Atlanta Journal.
