Illness of a Talented Young Phoenician
 Terminates Fatally.

Word has just been received of the death of William Clarke Halsey, a son of Rev. Lewis Halsey, D. D.
 The young man was pursuing ms studies in the second year of his course in the Stanford university when the fatal Illness overlook him. A favorite among his numerous friends in his former home town, Oswego, N. Y.; a fayorite among his many acquaintances in Phoenix; a favorite among his stu dent friends, his loss Is deeply felt by many and those nearest and dearest to him, in the home life have the sym pathy of all who knew him.
 The church, where his skillful hand upon his violin. guided by the cultured mind, has so often led in song worship, will miss him.
 The bible school. the Young Peoples society. all will miss him, but while earth is poorer because of his going, heaven is richer by his entrance there.

THE PROBATE COURT
Judge Langston Will Entertain a Jury
 Today.

Arthur F.. Adams. better known as Shorty" was committed to the ln- sane asylum yesterday afternoon by Probate Judgy LangstOn. He seems to be harmless and good-natured sort of a fellow and was first arrested by the police last week on suspicious or drunkenness, arising from his inco- herent talk. He was turned over to the county authorities by the city recorder. His hallucination seems to be regard ing some mythical order whose emblem is three stars and three eagles with white rings around their necks. lie also professes an intimate personal ac- quaintance with Deity and to be m partnership with the ruler of the uni verse.
 In the Wormser estate a nearing was given the annual account of the administrator and the account was ap- proved. The annual report of the guardian of Harold Hamm was hled and hearing was set for Feb. 2l. Let ters were issued to Joseph w. Clark for the guardianship of the minor heirs of William G Davis, deceased, and the newly appointed guardian filed his bond of $500. In the same estate the widow, Emily Davis, filed a petition

THE TUCSON STREET RAILWAY
Its Points of Superiority Over the
 Phoenix System.

George P. Scholefold a prominent cattleman of Pima county, arrived in the city yesterday morning to attend . 8 meeting of cattlemen who are en- gagged In considering live stock legisla- 1 ton. MT. SchCleheld, un his way out
 to the capitol build,GE yesterday. got
 to comparing the C.r--t car system with the one at home ,-f which Tue son is justly proud. The Tucson sys- tenn. MT. Scholefeld said, possessed certain advantages, CT at least one ad-
 vantage. over the Phoenix system. and
 that was the simplicity of its schedule. The rolling stock consists of one mule and one car. The gait of the mule, while not So fast as that of an elec- tric car, Is less variable. There is
 never any probability of a grounded current, and those who have once time | the mule can tell no within an hour when he will be at q given point. Thus
 those about to set out on Q, journey from Stone avenue to tho university or intermediate points have tfme to make their wills, arrang their earthly af- , fairs and bid their friends an affection ate farewell. People in Tucson do not have to run the risk of breaking tn air
 necks or invite Jheart disease when ever they want 10 take street cur j1urney.
 The Tucson street railway company Is just now encouri.aring it's first real trouble and the schedule is somewhat disarrangsd. The mud has covered up the track in a great many places and
 the mule is like Q mariner at sea wi,h- out a compass. He sometimes makes
 detours not contemplated by the en- gineer who laid out the line and q great deal of time Is lost in locating the right of way. The mule and the . driver, though. "cut fer Erail' and in varlably find it.
 Electricity, Mir. Scholefied says,
 would be dismal failure on that sys- tenn.

OLD.TlME RAILROADIN0.


How Tracks We're Constructed aud
Trains Run sixty Years Ago.
Irving ID. Cook. who lives near South
Byron, recently repaired barn on the
old Cook homestead that was built
many years ago. In taking out a gran
airy. some timbers found IN its construc-
ton were recognized by Mr.. Cook as a
part of the first old New York Central
Railroad roadbed that was built to BY.
ron, which was for time the terminus,
about sixty years ago. These white
oak sticks were 3 by ! inches. as sound
as when first used. and were what the
first strap rail was nailed or spiked on.
The imprint of the two-inch iron strap
is plainly seen. Mr.. Cooks recollection
of the early railroadng Is very clear,
as the road crosses his farm.
He says ties were first laid. and on
these were placed long stringers. which
were of any kind of timber that could
be obtained from farmers near by.
These stringcrs were hewn on the upper
side. and on the under side were
notched where they crossed each tie.
On these stringcrs and running in the
same direction white oak scantlings
were fastened. When the ends of the
strips of Iron met, n short piece was
placed so that the ends of the rail. II
they might be called that. would not in
dent the wood.
There were no section bosses IN those
days. and handcars were unknown.
The first repair gang consisted of three
men. who carried Il few spikes. chisel.
an anger. hand saw. etc. in handled
basket. The few heavy tools. like crow.
bar. adze and shovel, were carried on
the mems shoulders. The men worked
as they pleased. and during the hot
summer days IL was no uncommon
thing for the gang to spend hours In
the shade of Mr.. Cooks sugar bush. adj.
Joining the track. Trains were infre.
quent, and a roadmaster's pony was un.
known.
Among the locomotives first used
for freight and passenger service were
the Louis Brooks, Whittlcsey. Asa
,Spraguc and No. 1. the last being
known as the Iron Engine. because no
wood was used in its construction ex.
cept In the cab. These engines had only
one drive-whcel on each side. The first
Fourth Of July after the road was con.
structed and In running order was oh.
served by the railroad company by fir
Ing q cannon from the rear platform Of
the last cur Oh approaching stations.
The passenger ears were short and
much like the body Of q stage coach.
Some of these passenger ears had nm
upper story. and from this upper deck
Mr.. Cook saw Martin Van Buren, climb
down TO shake hands with n crowd
when he was running for the prcsi.
dcncy. The conductor was then called
collector. and passed along on the out.
side of the cars on II running board that
extended the entire length of the ear.
The putting of names on engines was
discontinued twenty-tiveor thirty years
ago, the last to run on the western divl.

the coasts and the mainland. has made
systematic investigation of the vari.
Gus systems of wireless telcgraphy.
The progress made has been eminently
satisfactory. New appliances have been
devised by the bureau experts for the
transmission of signals and receivers
have been constructed that are prob
ably more delicate than any heretofore
made. Messages have already been
sent and received over fifty miles of
land which presented q rough and hilly
characterization most unfavorable
waves.
Marconi also promises that before
long ships at sea will he able by the
use of his system to communicate with
the shore. Navies are now experiment
ing with his system and considerable
success has been obtained. Meantime
in England they are trying TO telegraph
without the use Of wire from Dover to
Belgium. 1t looks as IL in n short time
message might be sent around the
world without the use of wires. and
that all .he parts Of the earth and the
sea would be in telegraphic communi-
cation with each other. Deserts, noun.
tains, oceans. time and space all seem
TO be dissolving before the advance of
science. The world could not desire a
better Christmas present for 1901 than
the fulfillment Of Marconi's promise.
