LONG BEACH CHAUTAUQUA
Two of the Great Men Who Are to
 Be Present

Two of the great men who are to be
 present at the Long Beach Chautauqua
 this summer are Col Henry Waiter
 son and Dr. Robert McIntrye, and although they are but two of the one
 hundred and sixty different people who are to take part in the program, yet their coming has caused more comment and favorable criticism than any others.
 Col. Henry Watterson is the editor of the Courier-Journal of Louisville, Ky., which is recognized as the Demo- cratic organ of the South. He is also the author of "Tariff for Revenue Only," and other leading publications. It is, indeed, great treat to hear thls eminent Kentucky orator-a Con- federate soldier and representative Southern statesman-lay upon the altar of the American manhood the tribute of chivalric patriotism. His lecture on "NIoney and Morals" is, according to the Pittsburg Post, "A diamond set in emeralds, rubies and gold" While his other great lecture "Abraham Lincoln" is one of the great lectures of the day.
 Dr. Robert Mcintyre is, unquestion- ably, the greatest pulpit orator on the American Continent. The story of this mans life reads like a romance, and we wish space would permit us to give the details of it. Bern in Sel- kirk. Scotland, in 1851, he came to this country in 1858, and at eleven years of age in Philadelphia, took his place as wage earner and became the support of large family. By trade brick layer, he helped to rebuild Chicago after the great fire. He worked his way through public schools and Vanderbilt University. He entered the ministry in Illinois in. 1878, and finding no church at the place of his first appointment. stimulated the people to tuild one. All the brick work was done by his own hands, this so won the confidence of the people, that they flocked in mass to hear 1.-the preacher who could lay brick" In ten years he had made his way to the leading pastorate of Chicago, and Sun day after Sunday, he urged the mem- bers of his church to attend the divine services elsewhere that "the people" might have chance to hear him.

Consuls Are Under Fire

Cape Haytien, Hayti-There has been much fighting here and great ex. citement prevails. Admiral Killy, commander of the Haytien fleet, dis embarked a further detachment of troops and large quantity of amu- milton at o'clock Saturday morning for the better protection of General Firmin, one of the candidates for the presidency Of the republic.
 On Saturday there were several lively engagements between men from the fleet and the revolutionists from the north. Several machine guns were set up in commanding position by General Firmin's force and an attempt was made to drive the men from the north from their positions. Notwith- standing the fire from the machine guns, detachments of the northern revolutionsts made several attacks on General Firmin's followers and the latter were eventually dislodged.
 In the meantime the vessels under the command of Admiral Killy were bombarding Cape Haytien. This action was taken without previous notification to the foreign consuls here. There has been a lively rain of shots down the streets of Cape Haytien all day long. The firing was particu- larly heavy between noon and ? o'clock, and between 4 and 5 o'clock thiS afternoon
 At the time of filing this dispatch the foreign consuls under tn, protec- tion of their various flags are with General Firmin and are about to em- bark on the government gunboat Pierce. They are under rather heavy fire and in much danger. The foreign residents of the port are at present exposed to the lawlessness and sav- agery of the combatants
 Deep regret is expressed that no 'warships of foreign power are in the harbor to afford protection to foreign residents.

Sumner Pruning

One of the safest and best ways to make fruit trees productive in the future is to remove part of the ends of the branches during June or July, when the trees are in full leaf, says Field and Farm. If part of these are removed by trimming the branches in midsummer, the growth of the tree is stopped and fluit buds are forced into being. It is quite lot of work to prune the ends of the branches and it must necessarily be done at time when other work is pressing, but this is the safest method known to make unproductive trees come into bearing.

MADE KEYS WITH HIS TEETH
A Convict's Ingenuity in Producing
 Means of Escape

Will Render, a negro who escaped from the city prison year ago and was recaptured Saturday night, came very near escapi g again.
 Render had two pieces of bent wire, taken from water buckets, of which he had mede skeleton keys which can open any lock in the prison. It is now known that he used similar wires when he escaped before.
 A fellow prisoner told on Rendersby writing a note to the turnkey. When Render was searched the wire was found on his person.
 Iron buckets are used to supply the prisoners at the police barracks with water, and the buckets have heavy wroug ght-iron handles. Render remov- ed two of the handles, and, with his teeth, bent them into the shape de- sired. The turnkey, after taking the wires from Render, tried them in the cell door locks and had no difficulty in showing back the bolts.
 The making of the keys out of the wire, and with no implement except his teeth, showed Render to be de- cided mechanical genius.
 A year ago Render was arrested for COW stealing, and he and another negro escaped from the city prison in most mysterious way. It was believed the turnkey had left door open, and he

CITY WATER WORKS

A decided Improvement in the water

the work of w. D. Tanner. who is in
charge of the Murphy drilling outfit
and who has been engaged for some
time in drilling new wells adjacent to
the water company's big well.

The other two wells will be sunk as
deep as is deemed necessary and as
quickly as possible. one of them being
down over eighty feet now.
The feasibility of developing water
for irrigation purposes by drilling wells
is now pretty well demonstrated. There
are some lands of course too high for
this method of irrigation to be profita-

He reports that there are several

tional in effect.
He spent more of time in Louis

NEW ATTORNEY GENERAL
Judge E. W. Wells of Prescott Has
Accepted the Appointment.

Governor Brodie yesterday appointed
Judge E. w. Wells of Prescott attorney
general to succeed General c. F. Aims
worth, whose resignation was submit
ted nearly a month ago. Judge Wells
left this morning for his home, where
he will qualify and then return to the
city.
1t was predicted before Governor
Brodie took his seat that Judge Wells
would be made the legal adviser for
the territory. but it was not generally
thought that the prediction was we'll
founded, for the judge is one OF the
busiest men in the territory, as well as
one of the wealthiest. 1t was known
that the office could have no attraction
for him by reason of the salary at
tached to it, or of the honor which it
conveys to the occupant. The private
affairs OF Judge Wells are more than
enough to keep one man engaged
1t is understood. though, that in ac-
cepting the office he has sacrificed to
some extent his own convenience to
his long personal friendship Tor the
governor. He will not leave Prescott,
but will visit the capital only when
his presence on public business is de-
manded.
Those who learned of the appoint
ment yesterday afternoon We're we'll
pleased with it, and expressed a hope
that it might be taken as an earnest
of all the appointments which the gov
ernor is expected to make.
Judge Wells has been intimately as
ISOLATED with the public affairs of the
territory for several years, and for a
much longer time he has been enga ged
in the development of the resources of
Arizona. During the administration of
President Harrison he was associate
justice of the territory fer the northern
district. and he is accounted to be one
of the ablest judges that ever occupied
the territorial bench.
No other appointments were made
yesterday, but the rumors of other
changes in the immediate future con-
tinue to circulate.

cap to its speedy development. Il told

ANOTHER SUIT
In the Prieto Sonora Development
Company Litigation.

Another suit was begun in the dis
trict court yesterday by the Sonora
Development company against j. Diaz
Prieto, former Mexican consul at this
place, but now consul at Cincinnati,
having been removed from this post
to the latter. This suit is one of three
which have been filed bv one party CT
the other to this controversy. The So
nora Development company was
formed for the purpose of operating in
Sonora, but it's operations depended
upon the securing of certain conces-
sions. Prieto undertook to secure them
and he entered into contract with the
company by which in the event of his
success he should receive certain
amount of the stock, and in any event
his expenses to the City of Mexico,
where he was going to see about the
concession, would be paid. The COM
pany deposited an agreement and $1,000
in the Phoenix National bank, and Pri
eto set out for the capital of the Mex
lean republic. He returned empty
handed, and in the course OF time
brought suit against the company for
the payment of his expenses. About
the same time the company began an
action against him, with the object of
securing the release of the property
which had been put in escrow in the
bank. The bank in its reply in gar
nishment proceedings denied that it
was anything else than an accommoda-
ton bailee.
Before this latter suit reached a
trial the suit il which Prieto was the
plaintiff was tried, and he was given d
judgment for $500
The object of the suit filed yesterday
is to have that judgment set aside. on
the ground that the defendants in that
case and the plaintiffs in this one were
not given notice. None of the defend
ants were residents of the territory.
and they were represented here only
by an accommodation director.
