 Douglas, May 6.-The Douglas Street Railway company has not yet decided to extend the local system to Agua Prieta-that is to say, it will not be put through at once.
 s. F. Mcguire stated today. in talk ing of the proposed extension. that while the road might go through. no official action of the company's direct ors had ordered the Agua Prieta exten- sion. For the present. the line will only extend to the corner of Tenth and e. In speaking of the rolling stock to be used, Mir. Mcguire said that in all probability the company would have more commodious cars than those now in use on the Calumet line. The motive power will be electricity, and will be supplied by the electrical plant of the Douglas Improvement company Work on the city extension is progressing rapidly under the super vision of Foreman Richardson.
 The new electrical engine for the Douglas Improvement company's big plant on Twelfth street reached Doug las Monday. and was unloaded from the car yesterday. Today the big en- zine is being put in place, and it will not be kong until the plant will be turning out electricity to burn.
 The steel for the new jail arrived yesterday, and further delay on that acco1nt is ended. The doors will now be hung as soon as possible, and the calaboose will be as neat a lodging house as a hobo can find for the money.
 The case of D. C. Davis vs. the E. P. & S. W. Railroad company. to recover damages for the killing of a mule, owned by the plaintiff. by being struck by train of the defendant, was heard in Justice Johnson's courtroom yester- day. The jury returned verdict for Davis in the sum of s1s4.00. Attor- ney Sehilling of Tucson was the de- fendant's attorney. while w. K- Jones looked out for the plaintiffs case. The mule for which Davis was reimbursed by yesterdays decision was killed last July, on the spur near the Copper Queen store.
 A move for better fire protection has been made by Chief J. NJ. Sparks. A freman's ball is to be held soon in the dining hall of the new French ho- tel. Mir. French has signifed his will ingess to help on the cause by donat- ing the use of his spacious dining room at an early date. Chief Sparks did not knew, when asked about the affair today. the particular date cn which the ball would be held. Said he: "Mr. French has said that he will notify me a week in advance of the night most convenient for him to let us have the use of his dining room, and as soon as I hear from him, we will go ahead with the preparations" MT. Sparks said that the proceeds of the hop would be used in procuring sew eral hundred feet of hose. and if any money was left over, he thought 1t would be a good idea to get in set of uniforms and organize hose team Said Chief Sparks: What we want is to awake an interest among the boys and get them to enthuse little. so that we can have well drilled company" When asked if he did not think it good plan to try to get g hook and lader truck. in view O. the fact that several two-story buildingc were being erected. Mir. Sparks ex- pressed himself as favoring the scheme But" said he, I've rust first get the boys together and equip the fire house with more hose"
