Fusionists Travelling a Rough
Road.

Tho fusion deal Of the demo-
Gratis and populis,s seems to he
permanently of. At the meeting
held in Ia Junta, Friday, James
Beatty. the democratic nominee for
representative, positively declined
TO come or in the interest Of
harmony.
When the conference commit
tees met in Rocky Ford wednes-
day i. seems TO have been mutually
understood that both the populist
candida,cs-Mr. Terry for repre-
sentative and Mr.. Hun, for COM
missioner. were ready 10 retire in
the interest Of harmony. the only
proviso Of their committee being
that both committees should unite
on some new man for representa-
tive that would be acceptable to
all hands Their choice was g..
NJ. Hall. who was taken up as n
silver Republican and not a men,
Der of either party to the conten-
ton. Mr.. Halls name was under
Stood to be acceptable when the
Rocky Ford meeting was in ses-
sion, but it was deemed necessary
to see Mr.. Beatty before taking
final action. Hence the adjourn
ment to La Junta. When the
conference was resumed it was
found that Mr.. Beatty did not fall
in with the deal made by the COM
mittees. He had already entered
upon his canvass in the west end
and had been sufficiently encour.
aged to incline him to "stay with
it" The democratic conference
committee did not have the moral
courage to depose Mr.. Beatty. and
didn't have the grace to confess
their weakness, but simply drifted
out of the meeting without even
the formality of nh adjournment.
The populists are unnlterably dis
gusted. They have heard it charged
that they were being hired with
Wolcott gold to perpetuate dis
sension. but their action in these
last meetings of the conference
committees puts the onus of the
failure of fusion entirely on the

A Street Scene.

North Main street people were
considerably interested by run
away horse last Friday afternoon.
Mrs. Abunda, n Mexican woman
living southeast of town. was driv-
ing n stout broncho in light
wagon through Main street, when
it took fright just north of the
railway crossing aud made n squirt
to get away. The woman had her
child in her arms and rs the velIi-
Gle trayersed the tirs, block north
ward people on the street stopped
TO see what the result would be.
Opposite the postoiiice the woman
lost one of the lines and the beast
sheared in toward the sidewalk,
grazing the wheels Of several vchi-
cles along the walk. The woman
dropped her babe on the wagon
bottom between her feet, reached
over the dashboard and recovered
the rein. At the same time Mar
shal Baldwin sprang out from the
sidewalk and grasped the bride.
But by this time the broncho was
plunging, and he threw the mar
shal loose. Edward Colbert, on
the walk. sprang TO the rescue, the
marshal recovered himself and got
fresh grip, and a third spectator
came TO the assistance Of these
two. The woman held her place
firmly on the wagon scat and the
baby firmly between her knees.
while her feet we're braccd against
the dash. 1t was only by the
combined strength of the four that
the frightened beast was con-
trolled. Then the woman handed
her baby out to bystander and
climbed as calmly out of the wagon
ms If nothing had happened.
\ few minutes later some of the
men folk from the house of
Abunda arrived on the scene and
were much disguised at the fail
ure of the woman TO manage the
horse. They harnessed him to
the wagon from which the by
ISLANDERS had unhitched him for
the woman, and started in to show

THE NEW BISHOP.
Successor to Archbishop P. Bourgade Ap-
 pointed to This Diocese.

For over year past the diocese of Tucson has been without bishop. Right Reverend Bishop P. Bourgade having been elevated archbishop of the jurisdiction, comprising d part of Colo rado. all of Arizona and part of Texas. Archbishop Bourgade removed to Santa Fe. On Thursday last, says the Tucson Star, Father Henry Granjon was ap- pointed to The bishopric. but advices did not reach here until yesterday. when Father Girard. who has charge of San Augustine Church and affairs generally concerning the church in Tucson, received Il message announcing the appointment, this coming from AI:hbshop Bourgade.
 Blshop-elect Granjon is not a stranger to the Southwest, is will be noticed by the sketch which follows:
 Father Henry Glanjon was born in Lyons, France. about B years ago. His early education was acquired in Paris and Rome. and soon after reaching his ma aioriry he received the title of doctor of divinity in the latter city. He came to Arizona shortly after his arrival in America, and Was assigned to the parish "f Tombstone some six years ago, and served his practitioners for three years. During his residence in Tombstone he visited Bisbee and Nogales as mis,ion- ary and came here occasionally on a Visit. He Was appointed Il few years ago to the head of the Society for the Propagation of the Faith. in Baltimore, Md, where he is at present located. It is possible Bishop Granjon may go abroad to visit Rome and there receive the holy orders before assuming the duties of the high station to which he ! has in his early years been appointed

On his arrival here it is expected that Archbishop Bourgade will visit the city to confer orders incident to the advent of the new bishop, an event of more than ordinary interest.
 The new bishop is man of culture, broad views and possesses personality which should draw toward him the elc- ments which constitute the church of which he will be head with respect to this locality.

Why 1t /. Called Dutch Gap.

When Ben Butler was endeavoring
to get the Union gunboats up the
James, he found the water in the bend
at Dutch Gap too shallow to let them
pass, TO say nothing of the fact that
the Cdnfederates had erected two or
three batteries along the bend in order
to give him a warm reception. So he
went ahead and cut a canal across the
neck and suddenly, instead of being
Is miles from Richmond, he was only
six Ever since that time the canal
has been used, and the government
now considers IT the channel Of the
river and keeps ii in shape. The plan
tatiOns along the land were thus sud-
denly drained OF their very lifeblOod
and have naturally fallen into decay.
The place is called Dutch Gap be-
cause at this spot. I'm early colonial
days. 4 Dutchman worked very
smooth game upon the unsuspectinG
Indian. The Dutchman wagered the
Indian that he could beat him padding
a canoe around the bend. The Indian
took him UP on the Instant and gave
him mile the start. They started
just above the bend, the Indian n mile
behind, and when the Dutchman reach
cd the neck he jumped on shore, grab
bed his canoe ont of the water. ran
across TO the other side with it, drop
ped it into the water again and calmly
awaited the arrival of the astonished
Indian, who had padded frsntically
around the bend in the endeav0r to
catch up with him. What the wager
was is not recorded, but the Dutchman
doubtless got possession Of 100000 or
100000 acres of land as a result of tie
trick.-COr. Chicago Record.
