Throwing Her Arms Around
the Wrong One.

Eve were expecting daily a dear
friend of my mothers from New York,
Mr.. Judson, Presbyterian clergy
man." said Second avenue girl. in
the Detroit Free Press. "Of course we
were delighted when, one morning,
the maid announced that Mr.. Judson,
of New York, was in the parlor.
Mother was not yet attired to receive
company, so she facetiously said to
Minnie, the maid, Tell Mr.. Judson
that the one he most wishes to see
will be down directly meaning me.
Minnie returned and said that
when she gave the message Mr.. JUDD
son had said: How? and when she
repeated it he had looked alarmed
l dare say he thought he had entered
a private lunatic asylum.
"Then l went down to the parlor
and was about to throw my arms
around his neck. l just stopped in
time to see that our caller was a
strange man, young, too. OF course,
there was but one thing to do-blush.
1 promptly did so.
Said this new Mr.. Judson: Evil

PREsCoTT's DAY OF WOE.
Arizona City Visited by Fire whtsh
sweeps Away Property Valued
at Over q, 100000.

Prescott, Ariz., July 16.--A scene Of
the greatest desolation and feeling
of deepest gloom pervades this town.
All that remains of the principal bust.
ness portion of the town is tottering
walls and piles of charred and burning
debris. The fire, which started at
1O:45 o'clock Saturday night, was not
under control until three o'clock Sun.
day morning, when the fire fighters
went a considerable distance in ad-
vance of the flames and blew up the
buildings on the south side of Good
win street, preventing them from
crossing that street. The most con-
sentative estimate of the total losses
are from 81 100000 to 81 100000.
The burned district embraces five
blocks in which are located the prin.
cipal mercantile houses, both banks,
both telegraph offices, the three news
papers, four hotels, every saloon and
every restaurant except one in the
town, besides scores of private resi-.
dences. To add to the prevailing
gloom, high wind has prevailed all
- 3
embers in every direction, requiring
the greatest vigilance to prevent an.
other outbreak of the flames. Owing
to the chaotic condition existing it is
impossible to obtain an accurate ac-
count of the loss of individual insur-
ance. From interviews with insur-
ance agents the total insurance does
not exceed $35O,O00.
At daylight Sunday morning teams.
were at work hauling lumber to the
public plaza and covered it with tents
and temporary frame buildings. The
occupants will be ready for business
to-day. Both banks have had tempo
rary quarters located, and will be open
to-day. Bashford, Burmister & Co.
will open for business to-day in their
warehouse two blocks from the plaza.
Hon. w. A. Clark, of the United Verde
Copper company, who was visiting the
works at Jerome, wired draft for
$500. All the sufferers from the fire
are provided with food, shelter and
clothing, and it is not thought amy
outside assistance will be required.
The only business houses remain
ing in the town are three dry goods
stores, three grocery stores and two
drug stores. The express and post
office were both out of the fire limits,
but the latter had close call. All
the nail and effects were ready to-
move, at moments notice.

ACROSS POUGHKEEPsTE BRIDGE.
Daring Bicycle Exploit by a Winsted
Rider. .-

Winsted. June 4.-For the first time
in the history of the Poughkeepsie
bridge "Joe" Fancher, the daring bicy-
Gle rider of this place, went over the
bridge on his wheel this morning. The
bridge, which spans the Hudson, is one
and one-quarter miles long and 212 feet
above the river. He crossed the bridge
in twenty-five minutes. No one is al
lowed on the bridge, but Fancher took
advantage of the guards attention be-
ing diverted shortly after O'clock this
morning as train crews were being
shifted. He had proceeded some little
distance, when one of the guards spied
him and started in pursuit, but Fan
cher managed to cross the bridge with
out being overtaken. Fancher started
from the Poughkeepsie side and when
he crossed over to Highland a boat was
in waiting which took him out of reach
of pursuit. He returned here this af-
ternoon. There We're four witnesses of
the feat At times the wind blew al
most gale and it was with the great
est difficulty that the rider was enabled
to keep his saddle. Fancher has also
crossed the Central New England rail-
road trestle at Collinsville and the one
at Pine Meadow, both of which are very
high but not to be compared with the
Poughkeepsie bridge. In crossing the
bridges Fancher does not take the foot.
path, but pushes his wheel over the
ties
