me difficulty about

was some difficulty about get ting water. The alley between the cor l 'ral and the First avenue residences was filtered with straw and there was a great pile of hay in the rear of the barn of D. Nicholson. This was quick ly covered with wet blankets. The olive packing house stands within twenty feet of the north side of the corral and the flames from a stack of hay leaped across almost to the roof of it. The chemical headed off their advance on that side. In five minutes the fire was under control, but there was little left of the corral
 Two horses were burned to death and one was burned up. It was d fine mare belonging to w. B. Cleary of the company. She was rescued from the first assault of the flames and led out side and turned loose. She ran back into the fire. The other horse was taken out in a terrible condition. His ears were burned off, he was eyeless and hairless. He ran madly toward Five Points, and was mercifully shot in the street. There were seven other horses in the cor ral, two of a team which had been driven in just before the fire broke out. They were turned out by Clarence Fulwiler, the keeper of the corral. who then rescued his trunk from a small fOur-roomed house and got out almost overcome by heat and smoke.
 No fire is cool and pleasant. but this was particularly hot one. Three green cottonwood trees standing outside the southwest corner caught and burned furiously. As the usual Phoenix popu- lation which suspends all other busi- ness in times of fire was gathering about the confagration, there was a terrific explosion. which sent it flying. probably a stick of giant powder

The corral of the Arizona Water co company, at the corner of Second ave- mic and Van Buren street. burned yes ter lay afternoon. The fire started from a pile of straw in the street outside the corral, into which some one had prob ably thrown a burning cigar stump. A strohg west wind carried the flames along and once they had crept through the crevices of the pine boards on the Second avenue side there ,yas nothing that could save inc corral. In less than minnie they were sweeping over a half hlock and threatening the residences on Fi;st avenue, in which direction the wind was blowing.

The hook and lad der company answered the wrong one and arrived at the fire late. Chief Fromm inspected the boxes late in the afternoon and found nine keys fast ened. Nine men had seen the smoke and each rushed to the box nearest to him. Eight of them should be fined in police court

THAV SEED CASE.
Another Endeavor TO Test the S'ate
SScd Law.

Some months ago an attorney for
the D. NJ. Ferry seed company Wis
tied Pensacola, and in conjunction
Mecsrs. Liddon & Eagan arranged
TO ins titute proceedings to test the
cOnstitutionality of the act passed
by the legislature of 1899, requiring
that every package of seed sold in
Florida should be labelled with a
guaranty showing where and by
whom such seeds were grown. OF
course, the purpose was to secure a
final decision from a court of last
resort, so that the status of the law
might be permanently fixed.
The first step taken was a friend
ly arrest of Mr.. William A.
D'Alemberte, a dealer in seeds,
who was placed cOnstructively in
custody and a writ of habeas corpus
sued ous before q. S. Circuit Judge
Swayne, who refused a peremptOry
writ because it was held by him that
the matter should first be cOnclu-
sively passed upon by the state
courts.
Later, and recently, another pro-
ceeding against the same party was
begun III a state tribunal, on an in
formation filed in the criminal court
of this county by Solicitor Parkhill.
Upon proper proceedings thereon
the matter was submitted to Judge
A. {. BlOunt at the last term of that
court, and by him held under advise
ment until yesterday, when he filed
his decision in the case
Judge BlOunt's decision simply de-
clares that the seed law is in con-
tiict with the constitution Of the
United States, wh;ch provides that
congress alone has power to regulate
commerce between the states. and
the legislative act attempts to do
that, and is therefore uncOEstitu-
tional and imperative.
