said Walker, that one discovery of

when theworld will bedestroyed. Fifty

would end-that was when God willed
it, Science Will discover the exact time
in this century.

prophecies was this: Il expect it to
be proved ia the twentieth century
whether the soul is immortal either
by spiritualism, which will prove i'm
mortality, OF by science which will
disprove it. The proof of spiritualism
will come through communion, actual
and undoubted, with the souls of those
departed. Or else science will prove
that every feeling which we have is
produced by some sort Of electrical
effect on the brain. | would not be sur

had no authority TO increase the value
Of property on the theory that local
assessors had failed to assess at its
full cash value, as provided by law
The board is ordered TO reconvene and

NEW SHORT STORIES
Pauncefote and the Detective.

PauncefOte and the Detective.
 The late Lord Pauncefote. British ambassador, always entertained high opinion of the Washington detective force. In fact. he believed they were better even than those of Scotland Yard. and the manner in which he formed this view makes a very inter esting story. During the latter part of one spring several years ago his lord ship and family decided to leave the city for a summers sojourn on the sea coast, and the diplomat sent word to Chief Cf Police Sylvester requesting that he send up one of his best detec- tiyes to assist and advise him as to the best plan for making the house secure against burglars.
 Pursuant to the request. the major sent one of his best men. and when he arrived his lordship took him to where he had locked the silverware in a very strong, old fashioned safe. the door of which lacked combination and was secured by lock and key. Pointing to this safe. Lord Pauncefote exclaimed that he would like to see the thief or burglar who could break into that safe and steal the plate within. The detec- tive eyed the large iron vault for few minutes and then said:
 Yes, it is a very strong piece of work. but nevertheless I'll bet you q bottle of champagne that I can enter this house without coming through a door or window and open that safe in less than five minutes
 The British ambassador took the bet.
 When he first entered the mansion, the detective had noticed that the eel lar gratings were unsecured and. go- ing outside. he opened one of them. dropped down into the basement and, coming up the kitchen stairway. was soon in the room in which the safe holding the silver plate was located.
 This of itself fairly took the breath of the distinguished diplomat. but when the detective took from Eis pOck- ct a skeleton key and at one turn opened the massive doors of the safe Lord PauncefOte was ready to confess that the capital detectives were trifle better than anything of the sort he had ever seen. and he paid the debt With interest several times before the officer left

 A Peculiar Accident Sunday
 MT. and Mrs. Charles Trottman and Miss Katherine Hanninger mar rowly missed being seriously injured Sunday afternoon in a runaway be- low the beer garden. As it was Mir. Trottman was badly bruised about the head and Miss Hanninger sus- tained a broken wrist on the right arm.
 The cause of the runaway was a stray bullet. which struck the horse under the left ear. and emerged from the right eye. As soon as shot the horse began to run at the top of it's speed. and did not stop until it dropped dead in the road.
 Who fired the shot that killed the horse has not been learned Neither of those who were in the buggy can remember hearing the report of a gun. They did not learn until an ex- animation of the horse was made that 1t had been shot.
 When the horse started to run. Mir Trottman did all he could to get him under control. When the horse had Tun about seventv-fve yards the buggy struck a rock near the side of the road. and threw the occupants to the ground with great violence

 Miss Hanninger was asked by Cas- sidy if she was injured and replied that she was not Later Dr Caven brought her to the city and made an examination. He found that one of the bones of the wrist had been broken. Mrs. Trottman escaped with out injury
 Who fired the shot was a matter that the officers investigated al day yesterday. As far as known they did not discover the guilty party though it was reported late in the day that a young man had been found who was hunting near the spot where the ac- cident took place.
 IL IS not thought in any quarter that the shot was intended to hit either the horse or any of the occupants of the buggy. Mir Trottman is of the opinion that the shot must have come a great distance for the reason that none of them heard the report of a gun.
 The buggy is badly damaged. After it was tipped over the horse ran a short distance and dropped dead in the road. He is valued at something over S20O. If it is learned who fired the shot. he will probably be called upon to pay the damage to the buggy and the value of the horse

 M. D. Scribner, treasurer for Co., chise county, returned to Tombstone yesterday evening after being in the city for three days. He came here on business of a private nature It was Treasurer Scribner's intention to return to the county seat Sunday evening, but he missed the train, and had to remain in the city one day longer than was his intention.
 Treasurer Scribner was asked yes terday what he thought about the i'm portant question of the county paying interest on its warrants. He said:
 While this matter is not in my hands, and it remains with the board of supervisors to say whether or not l shall pay the interest, I believe that it will not be settled short of the SUI preme court. It is an important ques- tion that means a great deal to the county one way or the other. At pres ent l am not paying any interest on the warrants presented"
 The county treasurer is a strong ad- vocate of one of the recommendations made in Governor BrodIe's recent message to the legislature, and which relates to the payment of poll tax. About this he remarked:
 T believe that every voter should be made to pay his poll tax. He should not be permitted to register without having in his possession a poll tax receipt.
 If this was done, Cochise county would turn over to the school fund about S10.000, whereas, it is now only turning over about s1.SOO. We need the money for the support of our schools, and it would not impose much of burden on the people.
 If a law of this kind is passed by the legislature, il will place a surplus in the territorial school fund, instead of the fund being about $50 900 be hind.
