OFFICER AND COURT
Yesterdays Record of Ordinance
 Breaking and its Punishment.

There was a little revival of business in the recorders court and police circles yesterday. To begin with. City Marshal Kinney, regardless of the Philadelphia moonlight schedule, Ayers almanac or l any other authority except q demo- cratic city council, issued a manifesto that hereafter dark shall come at & o'clock until further orders. Local wheelmen will do well to remember this. and to remember that when dark comes lamps must be lighted. no matter if the sun is a mile high. The officers have been instructed to enforce the bicycle ordinances. and they propose to do it If they have to put half the people of the county in the pound. In the re- corder's court there were two charges against wheelmen who not only rode over the walks but the law. and were therefore submitted to the humiliation of paying their fines or jumping their bail.
 Dan Kelly committed the very ordi- nary offense of getting drunk and the still wors'e one of being caught at it. He also shattered his chances for kind ly treatment by telling Capt. Joe Bush what he thought about him in both a general and a special way After a deliberate consideration of his case the city recorder assessed him s7, which he paid.
 Almost at the hour for calling court a late engagement of the Chinese -Japa- nese war took place in the Capitol sa- loon. The matter was brought to the notice of the officers by Gen. sam Ching of Hong Kong. who applied for war rant for the arres.. of Gen. J. Kajiwara of Tokio General Russell served it and both were brought into court. The story was that both were speculating in futures at the Capitol in an enterprise conducted by the goddess of fortune and presided over by Dan Boone. Con- siderable depended on the turn of the eight spot. as both gentlemen claimed to have a fifty-cent chip on it. One played to lose and the other to win. A controversy arose as to which chip be- lGnged to the Jap and which one to the Chinaman. The Chinaman made a re- mark refiecting upon the ancestry of the Jap. and the Jap made some marks that detracted considerably from the Chinaman's good looks. Chairs flew in the air for a minute ard then the Chinaman appealed to the law. The Jap was fined $5.

A SHOWER OF BOULDERs.
Loss of Life Narrowly Averted at the
 Wachusett Dam

Clinton. Mass. May 1S.-An accident occurred this afternoon at the Wachu- sett dam of the Metropolitan water boards works, from which considera- ble loss of life was narrowly averted. A skip loaded with boulders tipped over in midair about 150 feet above the Hume, and the rocks crashed through the planking of the Hume. letting the water into the Dig excavation, 100 feet below. A large quantity of machinery in the excavation was submerged, and the accident caused a total cessation of labor there. It neces.itated the shut ting of all the gates leading into the Hume and opening of the gates into the tunnel to allow the passage of the water used for the Boston supply. Sev- eral thousand people gathered at the ucene and the accident caused great excitment. There were thirty-five men working near the Hume, and had the skip turned over directly above the Hume, 1t would have been imposisible for some of them to escape.

JUSTICES FEES
An Important Decision in the District
 Court Yesterday.

The decision of the district court in the case of J. M. Burnett vs Maricopa County, handed down yesterday morn ing by Judge Sstreet will be read as glad tidings of great joy" by justices of the peace all over the territory. Heretofore the proviso of Paragraph 1877. Revised Statutes. the general fee bill has governed the allowance of justices accounts. That proviso is to the effect that no allowance shall be made to any justice of the peace in a greater amount than $5 for all pro- ceedings in criminal case when a plea of not guilty is entered, and $2.5O when a plea of guilty is entered. Jus tice Burnett contended that this pro- vision could not possibly be made of legal application to a justice of the peace. when the latter sat as com hitting magistrate, in which capacity he acted in preliminary examinations in felony cases. He contended that inasmuch as no plea at all could be en- tered or entertained in such hearings, that he was entitled to the eI.ire range of legal fees accommodating in such hearings.
 WHen H etnc DOafu or supervisors knocked out sS7.25 of his first quarterly account Justice Burnett arranged with the beard for friendly case in court. and both sides waiving all extrancous points, the case was submitted to the district court for construction of the paragraph mentioned. In rendering the decision yesterday morning Judg ? Street took the ground conte ended for by the plaintiff and gave judgment in his favor It is generally conceded by lawyers that the decision is not only a good one from a legal standpoint.

instances are cited to show the gross inconsistency between the former al- lowance in such cases and the amount of labor and time involved In these hearings. some of these hearings oc- cupying the time of the magistrate for weeks, and the sum total of the fees reaching quite respectable figure. only to be squashed and mesmerized into paltry and inadequate sum by the stroke of supervisloriat pen. The average preliminary hearing fees do not aggregate much more than S5. so that t is not believed that the de- cision just made will add any signifi- cant amount to the expsns Of coun- digs.

The insurance in force December 31, 1899, amounted to $l,O52, 2,665,211. On December 31, 1900, the business in force aggregated in amount s1,141, ,497, ,SSS.02.

THE SEVENTH HEAVEN
To Which Party of Photographers
 Was Lifted.

The many happy occasions in the maxed Friday morning. This time it was a treat from MT. McCowan. He always does things in the best kind of style. Everybody knows he is q busy man, but the little children think he has the biggest heart in Phoenix. It was enough to make them happy to be invited to come and play on his nice green grass and under his shady trees. but when a hay ride was pro- vided to and from the school and big spread on the grass, of sandwiches, stuffed eggs. cookies, aprlcots and lemonade, it was almost too much, and now it is not MT. Mckinley but Mr. McCowan who Is their hero
 The miniature men and woman were in the seventh heaven of delight on the drive out. Nature spoke to them In so many ways. The birds. the big dog that followed part of the way. the cows. the alfalfa fields, the new mown hay reminded them of kindergarten songs and stories and they were sung and told with a new experience. They paid toll by singing Good Morning. Mir. Tollman. He tipped his hat and waved his wand for the children had won their way.
 Then the surprise when they ar rived on the grounds! Mir. and Mrs. McCowan, Miss Rice and the Indian kinders received them with such loving hospitality that each little one felt himself guest of honor.
 Peeping out from the foliage of the trees the stars and stripes said well come to Uncle Sam's babies. Around the trunks of the trees were woven chains that the kindergarteners love to make. The little chairs were here and there. that the little pale faces might rest when tired. First of all little Vera and Heen Bcknell must hunt up Amy Bagnell, then some games and speech making by the children singing. butterfly chasing in the alfalfa-and then the feast. Then with three cheers for Mir. McCowan. kisses to Miss Rice and the little song, Goodbye Dear Children, Goodbye to You" the big horses started off and the reception on the lawn given by the Indian kindergartners to Miss Efis' fair blossoms had a fitness and q meaning only to be expressed by the words. childrsn and love.
 Mrs. Doris in dishing out cream and furnishing tablecloths was only giving expression of her generous self.

Vancouver, B. c., Dec. 3l.--Austr-a-
liam papers recount the remarkable
adventures Of an American nam ed
Ben Bridge, who. In travelling through
an unexplored territory Of central
Australia, was, with his native serv-
ant, taken prisoner by the black In
habitants. He was kept a prisoner
by them for nine years. His captors
were cannibals, and devoured his
black servant. On account Of his
white skin, however, they kept
Bridge as combination of mascot
and diety. He was the first white
man they had ever seen. and they
watched him so closely that 1t was
nine years before he mansged to es'
cape.
Bridge describes the mode Of life
Of those aborigines as unspeakablo
barbarous. They not infrequently kill
roast and eat their own young chill
dren, when unable 10 procure thu
bodies of their enemies. Their ordi
