FIERCE FIRES
The Destruction in California Still
 Going On.

Pacific Grove, Cal, Oct. 12.-Forest fires that have been causing so much loss in this section Curing the past two days are still burning fiercely, a change in the wind having caused the flames to spread southward, involving new territory. Thousands of acres of oak and pine timber. young trees and miles of fences have been destroyed, the property burned over being the Doud and Jacks tracts back of Mont erey, and the Pacific Improvement company's celebratei seventeenmil drive on the reservation. over 4,000 acres of the latter tract alone have been abiaze, but the fire fighters sue ceeded in getting the flames there somewhat under control. The famous cypress grove was saved and the fire kept from the main driveway. The flames are driving wild animals from the woods into the open. The fire is the fiercest and most extensive ever known in this district.
 From Chualar Canyon. 8 few miles south of here, private dispatches re- ceived tonight give information that terrific fire. is now raging in that To- cation, now beyohfd control. It is feared by residents that thousands of acres covered densely with wood will be wiped out Men there and at other points are fighting heroically to sub due the flames.

Attended by Murder, Cremation and
 Insanity.

Topeka, Kan, Oct. 12.-As the result of a quarre! at a dance in Lane. a little town in Pottawottomie county. this morning, two men were burned to death. one lies at the point of death and another is hopelessly insane. The dance was held last night and was at tended by a large number of the rougher young men of the community. About l o'clock this morning a general fight started When 1t was over it was found that John Teehan had been struck on the head and fatally injured. When it became known how seriously Teehan was hurt the other dancers scattered. One of them. Eugene Cro- nan, a real estate agent, went to his office to sleep accompanied by J. Me Donald. During the early hours of the morning the office was set on fire by some of the other dancers and the two men were burned to death. The accumulated events of the night proved too much for the father Of Cronan. and he has gone violently in sane.

 Convention.

San Francisco, Oct. 11.-Only morn ing sessions were held today in both houses of the triennial convention of the Episcopal church of America. The afternoon was given over to an excur- sion. which embraced nearly all points of interest on San Francisco bay.

 The house of bishops will proba ply next consider the code and canonS, choosing for discussion at this convsn- ton those which are deemed most inn rortant.
 Very little was accomplished by the house of deputies beyond few changes in the rules of procedure.

MAKING HOME CIRCLES
Justice Gray Established two of Them
 Yesterday.

At s o'clock last night Justice G. D. Gray performed the ceremony uniting in matrimonial bonds Mir. John J. Buckley and Miss Hattie Eldridge. The ceremony took place at the Mills house, which is the home of the brides parents. The young couple will go to housekeeping at once in the southern part of the city. The bride is an estim- able young lady and has many friends. MT. Buckley is also well known in Phoenix, and is numbered among the bravest defenders of the country in the Spanish and Filipino wars, having a record of seventeen engage ments with the little brown men of the Philippines. He emerged from mil itary life without a scratch and the friends of the young couple will hope that his matrimonial experience will be even more successful, and certainly more pleasant than his military life.
 Justice Gray also tied another matri- monial knot earlier in the day. Can delario Zuniga and Josefa H. Aros were married at 3 o'clock, at the resi- dence of the brides parents. No. 1S3 East Madison street

THE JUDCESHIP Story of Chance of J. M.
 Jamison Denied NOTHING so FAR DONE
The Case of Judge Street Will Likely Not be Taken Up for Months-No Other Changes in the Arizona Judgeships are Expected to be Announced Before the Assembling of Congress.

Washington, Oct. 12.-(SpeciaL)- Washington today for confirmation Of the Associated Press dispatch printed on Friday that probably Julius NJ. Jamison would succeed Webster Street as chief justice of Arizona. Newspaper cores spondents made efforts at both the White House and the department of justice to ascertain what basis there is for the report. and it is stated on excellent authority that the dis patch was erroneous. The appointment of a successor to the chief justice has been considered neither in the depart msnt nor by the president, so far. No opinion to the result of the in vestigation of the charges lodged against Judge Street has been express ed by any one in authority, nor has there been any intimation as to what extent if any, the charges have been considered. It was stated at the de- partment that should the Judges pres ence be necessary after the charges have been heard. he will be given am- pie opportunity to defend himself. No action will probably be taken on any of the Arizona judicial appointments until the senate meets in December, and in the case of Judge Street high official of the government predicts tha; the president will take no action until the expiration of the judges term. His commission is dated March. 1898.
 Col. William Christy, Col. A. O. Brodie. Chas. II. Akers and Captain -.eurge D. Chiisty of Phoenix, who have be=n here on political business of the territory. have left for home.

A D1saRACEFuL NUISANCE
A Petition for the Removal of the Old
 Pest House.

A petition to the board of supervisors for the removal of the old pest house is being circulated by property owners and residents along the Black Canyon road in the vicinity of that nuisance. which would be disgraceful enough js it were empty. The management of it renders it ten times more nuisance and clog upon the value of property in that neighboThood. The pest house used to be the county poor house. At that time it was isolated. The near n! buildings were at Five Points. Since the county has established another poor farm at a proper distance from the city, the country about the old house. which came to be an asylum for persons suffering of contagious. has been settled up. It is now surrounded by many homes. and the Black Canyon road at that point is one of the hand somest residence streets iE the city.
 The old house is a forbidding look ing structure even whsn it is not occu pied. Whether or not it threatens the health of the community, the name of pest house is in itself unplea asant, and when it is occupied and surrounded by yellow flags the patriotic sense of the neighborhcod and those who pass along the road is jared
 There is probably nowhere else west of Asia place for the sequestration of persons afflicted with contagious diseases, set down in the midst of a populous community. And when it is occupied it is seldom properly guarded. The neighbors hope the supervisors will put themselves in their places and cause that eyesore and menace to the health of the neighborhood to be oSlit- erated. There is sentiment that those responsible for its further continue l existence ought to be compelled to live in it.

George w. Rice. Non-Union Machinst,
 Dies of His Injuries.

San Francisco. Oct. 12.-George w. Rice, the non-union machinst who was assaulted and shot by three men last night, died of his injuries. His dying statement fixed the crime very closely on the three men now under arrest. William Buckley, Thomas Moran and Charles Donnelly now in the tanks under suspicion, have tangled them selves up by contradictory statements and a web of evidence is woven about them by detectives which seems to hold them secure. Since the inception of the labor difficulties Rice has been on the non-union side of the fight and has been under threats.
