 SAW THE WRECK.-Nearly every body in this community who had not before visited the scene of the wreck at Tempe, drove over yesterday and took look at it. Though the wreck ing crew has been at work for two or three days but little change has been made in the appearance of things. as the work was mostly preliminary. From now on the debris will be rapidly removed.

There are eight sets of candidates and conse- quently eight columns on the official ballot.

The parties represented are democrats, republicans. prOhibitionists, socialists, independent democrats independent democratic party, peoples party and independents.
 SUNDAY MORNING FIRE.-About 3 o'clock Sunday morning little frame house, unoccupied. and standing near the corner of Fourth avenue and Jack son street, was totally destroyed by fire. The alarm was slow reaching the engine house and was first an nounCed by a locomotive whistle. But the results could have been little diff ferent if the fire company had been waiting for it. There was little to burn and it burned quickly. The origin oi the fire is unknown and it is therefore presumed it was set accidentally O. otherwise by tramps who haunt the railroad track.
 SUNDAY WITH THE POLICE There were but two arrests made yes terday and neither were important to anyone but the victims. Antonio Bar rios stirred up a tumult on the corner of First avenue and Washington street very early in the morning and was taken to jail About 10:30 a white man who is known as John Doe. carpenter and a very nice gentleman when he is sober, disturbed the usual peace and good order of Washington street and was placed in the cellar by the officers. Once a captive he was filled with re- morse and told the arresting officers that he considered himself disgraced for life as it was the first time the law had to step on him to hold him down.

There is an established reEu- lation among the prisoners that if one Cf their number finds copy of the Times among any reading matter passed in from the outside, and fails to report it or cptitiou=ly ctteupt5 to him forthwith and with vigor.

He was admitted to the jail and was Courteously received by Jack Faror, who appears to have been elect cd jail censor Farer thanked the agent for his intended kindr ess, but repeated the legend inscribed cn so many badges since the beginning of the Tines boycott.
