CARNIVAL DATES
Preliminaries Arranged For Phoenix
 Next Big Show.

The success of the last carnival as- sured for Phoenix it's establishment as one of the events to be looked forward to annually in this city. For some time past th5re has been carnival talk and at a recent meeting the board of trade appointed a committee to take charge of the preliminaries and start in motion the machinery for the next big show.
 That committee met at the office of the board last night and arranged for a few of the important details. First, in the matter of organization, the name of Col s. M. McCowan was suggested for director-general, by reason of his successful management of the last car nival. Col. McCowan declined saying he could not possibly attend to it this year, but he was prevailed upon to ac- cept the chairmanship of the executive committee.
 The next question settled was that of carnival dates. It was decided to open the festivities on Tuesday, De cember 4, continuing through the 5th, 9th, 7th and Sth, or Saturday night.
 Some time within a few days the committee will make its first visitation among the merchants with a view of getting subscriptions to the fund. The last carnival was Viewed by many as somewhat of an experiment, but it's success has dissipated all doubt as to the value to Phoenix of an annual car nival. Future carnivals, therefore, will be looked upon in-the nature of business enterprise which all can well afford to support and take pleasure in so doing. Already some who subscribed liberally last year have signified their willingness to do better this year and the committee expects to meet with hearty responses in all quarters.

FLORIDA ORANGES.

New York, Oct. Reports received from Florida confirm the prediction of an earlier date concerning the orange season, which is about toOpen. Reliable estimates agree that the Florida crop this year will be the most profitable in that state since the memorable freeze of five years ago.
 While the crop will not be so large as in years gone by the prices of the fruit will be higher. so that the value of the crop will be approximately equal to the crops of a dozen years ago when the annual yield sometimes amounted to 5,000,000 boxes The groves throughout the state are reported in an unusually healthy condition, while the growers are elated over the prospects of an extremely profitable yield.

IF STRIKE IS NOT ENDED
Extraordinary Demands Will Have to be Hatched Up by Outside In fluences-The Coal Companies Have Even Gone Beyond the Ul- timatum Laid Down by the Mine Workers Convention.

Philadelphia, Oct 17.-Tha great strike of the anthracite mine workers of Pennsylvania, which began Septem- Der +, was practically ended today when the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron company, and the L1e- high Valley Coal company agreed to abolish the sliding scale in their re- spective regions and to grant an ad- vance in wages of ten per cent net ad- vance, to remain in operation until April l, 1901, OF thereafter. This ac- tion meets the demands of the Scran- ton miners convention. The decision was arrived at after a conference be- tween the representative of the indI- Vidual coal operators and the large coal carrying companies. The conference began yesterday.
 Today's action was the continuation of recent meeting of individual op- orators at Scranton following the mine workers convention in the sama city. Nearly all the collieries in the coal re- zion had, previous to the mine workers convention, posted notices of an ad- vance of ten per cent. The mine work CTS, in considering this, demanded that the sliding scale In the Lehigh and Schuylkill districts be abolished. the increase to be guaranteed to April l, 1901, and all other differences to be sub mitted to arbitration. The individual operators agreed to everything and the appointment of a committee tc induce the Reading and Lehigh companies to abolish the sliding scale and make the wage increase permanent followed
 It is conceded that, the rC suk If tS- days conference i5 a complete victory for Ithe men. All the demands of their convention are acceded tc and. as one of the operators put it after the con- ference, the operators go a little fur ther in agreeing to maintain the wage advance until after April l. The same operator, who requested that his name be not used, said, in speaking of the conference: Tt is up to the min5TS now. We have agreed to everything. and nothing remains now but for them to return to work as often as notices are posted by the collieries managers This notice will be practically similar to the Reading company's notice, the phraseology only being changed. I look for a resumption of operations by Monday at the latest.

 Every Bryanite in this section of the country understands fully that the visit of the candidate to New York iS part of a huge game or bluff. This bluff is expected to influence a few hestat- ing voters in the west. Thus far the Bryanite campaigners are agreed on the game, but some of them say that the proposed trip through the state with bands, special trains, fireworks. and Golden Rule Jones will be a big mistake. These men insist that to make the bluff effective Mir Bry- an should speak only in this city to the big crowds that Tammany can produce and then jump right back to the west and tell the voters there how all New York had promised to vote for him. These thoughtful Bryanites say that if the candidate goes on a flying trip through the state, and the crowds should be small the enthusiasm mild, the entire effect of the bluff would be lost. They also argue that if the trip up the state should result in arousng great political activity, and getting out a heavy vote the advantage would lie with the republicans. These men assert that of the stay-at-home voters of the state three out of every five are repub- licans, and that if Bryans trip brought them all to the polls Mckinley would beOe6f in that DrODOrtiOu

JOHNS CASE IS
AIRED IN COURT
VAUDEVILLE JUSTICE TAKES
IT UNDER AMUSEMENT
UNTIL TOMORROW.
HIS RELATIONS WITH
MRS. DAVIES INVESTIGATED,
Said to Have Passed Himself Off as
Davies When Seeking Service Of
a Physician.

The preliminary hearing in the case of
the state against Thomas Johns, charged
with adultery with Mrs. Sarah Davies
OF 52S South Colorado street, took place
IN Justice Marsland's court at Walker
vile on Saturday afternoon and at its
the justice took the matter
under advisement unLl 10 o'clock to-
morrow.
Peter Breen acted as prosecutor and
George b. Gygert appeared for the de-
rense. Several persons gave testimony,
them Mrs. Davies, who claimed
that n was a boarder and ledger in
her house and had been guilty of moth
ing out of the way. The reason she had
him there, she said, was because her hus-
band was away and she was afraid to
live in the house alone. Her husband.
she said, was in the Philipp-e islands
and since his departure from Butte had
sent her over $500. The least she had re-
ceived at any n time was SIS and the
most $15O.
Several of the n%eighbors Of Mrs Ia
vies, who i~nstigated the suit, stated that
they had seen some things about the Da-
vies house that did not look right to
them. DIR. Moore testified that Johns had
called upon him to treat Mrs. Davies and
had represented himself as Davies, ever
using the initials of the Philippine SOL
diar. He had called Mrs. Davies his
wife.
1t transpired at the hearing that the
prosecution had its origin in the fact that
one day while Johns was cooling the sur
roundings of the Davies household with
a stream of water from a hose he trained
the nozzle on one of the rome neighbors
and gave her a cooling off. The woman
told him he vas no gentleman, and the
row was or.
