John Ponder who at late hour was pondering over the profundities of metaphysics last night, was arrested. It seems that he took himself serious- ly, and openly stated that he had "thunk a thought" A fearful alterca- tion arose and it was contended by . great number that the same thought had often been "thunk" before. John Ponder spat upon his hands ''lept" iu the air, and almost murdered the mar who flatly contradicted him. He Wal later in jail and wound up in the court

THE PRISON
 INTERPRETATION.

At the last session of the legisla. ture an appropriation was made of twenty-five thousand dollars for the improvement of the penitentiary at Yuma. A special tax levy was pro vided for to raise the money which has been levied and collected for one year. What has become of that ap- propriation, and why has the work Of improving the prison not been begun?
 The bill carrying this appropriation was vetoed by Governor Murphy and was afterward passed over the veto. The prison is sadly in need of i'm provement and additional buildings. The expenditure of this twenty-five thousand dollars, with the prison la bor which could be utilized in the work ought to be sufficient to create a model prison at Yuma for the accom- modation of 250 or 300 prisoners.
 Governor Murphy's hostility to Yu- ma, as the permanent location of the territorial prison, has been stubborn for years, hence his veto of the ap- propriation bill, and now 1t is surmised that he will take no action in putting the law into effect and will again try to move the penitentiary at the next Legislative session.
 It was hoped by a large majority of the people of Arizona when the ap- propriation was made for the improve ment of the Yuma prison that the last had been heard Of prison removal in Arizona, but if, when the next legisla- ture meets, no step has been taken to improve the old prison at Yuma there will be no reason why it's removal may not again be undertaken.
 We believe the prison should remain where 1t Is and can see no reason why it's improvement is not now being made, in accordance with the direction of the law of the last legislature.

Thus far but enc Arizona journal has shown any signs of supporting Mark Smith for Q reelection. the Bis bee Review, in which Or. Sweet is a large stockholder, who has always been a strong friend of Smith. 'Tis said the Graham county press will De for Charley Shannon. If so. there are scores of people who would swap Smith for Shannon. For while he may not be as gljb talker as smith, he is 2 worker and would accomplish more in congress in one month than Smith would during an entire term of con gress.-Tucson Star.
 The Star is slashing around in a reckless manner in an endeavor te work up feeling against Arizona $ present delegate in congress. The fact that the Star has been engaged is this pasume LOT the past six years in no wise has cooled the ardor ot the Star man The star 1yst sprung WE. sons name Now it Is trying to Watcu Shannon against Smith in the south It is anything OF anybody with the Star to down Mark Smith.
 The Star is in error when Il states that Dr. F. A.

Juan Lofoha was brought into court yesterday looking entirely woebesone. He had been on a three-days drunk. He could not possibly say what had made him drunk, for he declared that everything that went to his stomach had voluntarily come up again-or at feast it did not require any excessive effort on his own part.
 Tt will be necessary, Juan. for you to explain sufficiently to excuse" said Judge Williams. You had made your self generally obnoxious to even your closest friends by this hilarious de bauch.''
 Juan did his best, bat he plainly saw his finish, and threw up his hands.
 The best way out of your present embarrassment that I can suggest is to serve the community you have so basely offended. will therefore make your duties as dignifed as possible that you may not feel too keenly the bangs of misfortune, will name yoa the High Lieutenant of the Scavenger Wagon.

Charles Deumortiar was exceeding emphatic in his demands for collecting a four-dollar loan.
 You are accused of knowingly and unwittingly laying hold of . flat iron and causing 1t to bump against the bald pate of your old friend Ramises Sc. cond. That you further slapped the face of your dear friend Damisis with an old shoe last that caused . streak of bright vermillon to suddenly appear. This being not sufficient to compel your ancient friend to come through. you produced . small canon of aa antiquated pattern, and caused him to suddenly turn green and shake violent ly in his boots. All this Is contrary to equitte and out of date in collecting bills. and will place you under $20 bonds to appear to show why you should collect in this manner"

ACCUSE RUSH OF TREACHERY
THE CANDIDATE FOR LEADER IN THE
XXIXTH SAID TO HAVE GONE
OVER TO CARROLL.

Thomas p Rush the antl-Carroll candidate
for leader i'm the XXIXth District, is accused OF
treachery and of going over to Carroll. Ihomas
Gferan and Timothy Driscon. two OF MI
Rush's colleagues. make the charge and at the
Fifth Avenue Hotel last night Mr. Gileran said
that he had abundant proof to satisfy any 1alr
minded man that Mr.. Rush was tired Of fighting
Carroll and was preparing to line up with him
at the primaries.
'I am fully satisfied from investigations made
this week." said Mr.. Gilleran last night. that
Rush has been dealing treacherously with me-
1 wrote him letter this morning, asking him TO
come to my Office for talk. and got no answer
I have discovered that instead Of wanting really
to fight Carroll on the level, he was shaping
things so that whatever following he built up
would be friendly rather than hostile toward
Carroll at the primaries Rush and started
out in MAY last with the agreement that we
would work together to down Carroll We were
to meet frequently. and both to build up
anti-Carrol organizations which at primary
time to be merged. 1t was understood
that when the merger was made the question
of leadership of the anti-Carroll organization
would be decided between us. When discov-
cred this week that Rush was not going on with
his end OF the contract. l was greatly shocked
1 am in the fight against Carroll to stay, and
from this time forward l shall be candidate
for the leadership without reference TO what
Mr.. Rush does"
Mr.. DriScou said:
Il was told to-day by a Carroll man whose
word is TO be trusted that Rush has gone over
to Carroll. If Mr. Rush wants to know who
gave me the information. let him call on me
and ] will tell him all about it, He has gone
over to the Carroll people. 1t is better for us
TO know it now than for us not to know where
we stand
Mr.. Rush was not at home last night when
Tribune reporter called. His friends said that
there were two sides to the question. and that
when Mr.. Rush had a chance TO be heard IL
would be seen that Gilleran had no warrant for
his charges Myer J. Stein is the Greater New
York Democracy leader in the district He says
he will win in the triangular fight.

FERRY FRANCHISE SETTLEMENT
1T IS THOUGHT THAT RIVAL BIDDERS FOR
STATEN ISLAND PRIVILEGES WILL
SPEEDILY AGREE.

II Is not unlikely that there will be speedy set
tIement or the differences between the rival bid
ders for the Staten Island ferry franchise and that
one or the applications will be withdrawn The
nrst application for the franchise was made 10
the Sinking Fund Commission by four directors
being minority OF the Staten Island Rapid Transit
Company. which now has the franchise to St
George. The other five directors then came for
ward with an application. and declared that the
minority had no authority to act for the company
The minority had formed an alliance with the
steam railroads OF Staten Island. while the major
ry had purchased the trolley roads which were
then in the hands OF a receiver. The two appEca-
tons were placed in the hands OF Dock Commits
sioner Hawkes. just before his departure for Fu-
rope. Mr. Hawkes. is expected to return in about
week
Edward Lauterbach. who represents the majority
OF the directors. when seen by Tribune reporter
yesterday. said:
Conferences are going looking TO an adjust
ment or all the differences of all the parties with
a View or responding adequately to the demands OF
the people OF Staten Island and to secure proper
facities Tor the trolley roads well as the steam
raLroads II is not unlikely all differences in
mat respect Will be adjusted. There may be no
necessity Tor exposing the franchise for sale AT
puone auction That is only in case all interests
especially those OF the people OF the island are
not properly cared for. ~

Empire Steel and Iron Company in Oxford. last

son Railroad When about half way over the
bridge spanning the river the Pequest
furnace. Bennett saw train of freight cars
pushed by drill engine bearing down upon
them. 1t hardly fifty feet away. Bennett
could have jumped from the bridge twenty feet
below and saved his own life. Instead of doing
this he directed his attention to the boy. Lying
down across one Of the rails. he grasped his
little by the collar and let him drop gently
into the shallow water below. Before he could
get his body clear OF the track the cars
came along, and his body was cut completely in
two, one part of it dropping into the creek
alongside the boy. The little fellow screamed
Justify, and attracted the notice of the train
men. who went to his rescue. Bennett was
forty years old, and lost his wife few months
ago, which left him with three little children.
