years will completely span the
American continent and bring about
the realization of George j. Goulds
life railroad ambition. The COM

Baltimore to Oakland and possibly
through transcontinental trains

extension of the Wabash to Pitts
burg which is now being built will
join 1t to the West Virginia Central

land and carry 1t to the shores of
the Atlantic at Baltimore. Gould
will then be in control of the only
complete transcontinental line in
the United States. The Canadian

be practically its only through rival

BRUTAL ATTACK MADE ON PUG. HIST AT ORIENT BY
 GAM M6LER.
w. J. Mecastkili shoves Fighter 70 Floor and Climbing on Back Com mences Chewing Ear-Put Under $500 Bond on Mayhem Charge.

At the Orient last evening Kid McClung, light weight pugilist. was at tackled by w. J. McCastkill. a gam bier employed at the place, who after showing the pugilist to the floor got astride of his back and reaching down chewed a portion of his left ear off.
 Friends of McClung immediately took him to a surgeon, who dressed the wound. Later the physician told Justice Mcdonald over the telephone that a portion of the ear was gone. McClung then went before the Justice and signed his name to a charge of mayhem against McCastkill The pugilist exhibited reluctance to sign the charge after it was drawn up suggesting that it be changed to plain assault and battery. On being toll that the attack made on him consu- tuted mayhem, and that the law pro- vided penalty for failure to prosecute for offenses committed. McCiung con sidered further and signed ,he orig inal charge.
 McCastkill was arrested after the trouble on his way down the railroad track toward the city limits. Whether he was endeavoring to get out of town is not known He was taken to the office of Justice Mcdonald. where the felony charge was read to him and his bond fixed at $500 for appearance in court at o'clock Saturday afternoon. He went out with an officer to raise the bond money but at a late hour had not succeeded in doing sO
 McClung and McCastkill had some words Monday night. They had known each other previously in Texas. Nc. Cluns claims that McCastkill became abusive in joking way. and that he told him in future to pass him by without speaking when they passed cn the streets. The talk grew from faro play that McCmng had been making.
 McCastkill claims that McClung told him 10 go "a long ways around him on the streets in future.
 Last night McClung asserts the trouble of the night before had passed from his mind when McCastkIll came behind him at faro table and said: T want to see you" McCluEg claims that as he turned to him McCastkill struck. He dodged the full force of the blow, but was showed over to the floor on his hands and knees. Both his hands being badly crippled and in bandages, he was unable to attempt defense.
 McCastkill came here a short time ago from CanaDea. He was formerly located at Ei Paso. where McClung first met him. While admitting trou- ble with McCastkill on Monday night.

MAKING PROGRESS ON ASSESS
 MENT ROLLS.

The work of making up the dupli- cate assessment rolls is progressing rapidly, says the Prospector, Clerk Howe and his assistants expect to have the work completed within the time specified by law, which is the third Monday in September. To ac- complish this the force is compelled to work all day and late into the night.
 There has been no attempt as vet to serve the board with any papers to prevent placing upon the rolls the raises made by the territorial board Of equalization, and if such were served would accomplish no result, as the raises have been oD the books some time. To accomplish the de- sired end now the papers would have to be served on the treasurer and tax collector to enjoin him from collect. ing the same. It is understood that such papers are at the present time being prepared by two of the big mining companies and that the latter part of the month will witness the filing of the suit and demand for in- junction.
 Thus far there has been no action taken by any of the counties of the territory in bringing the matter to the attention of the courts, and a re. view shows that the counties are evenly divided on the matter, half of them putting the raises on and the other half refusing to do so-

The special meeting of the City matter was held last night, and while it resulted in some acton, paving will be delayed for several weeks yet. There were present at the meeting Mayor Taylor and Messrs, Hughes, Sowle, Stacey and Devine.
 Messrs. Brophy, Smith and MJ- helm of the property holders com mittee were present, and reported that they had seen the larger number of property holders oI; Main street antl Brewery Anevue, and that as it had been found impossible to secure as- phalt pavement, they were in favor of having brick pavement with con crete base laid in accordance with the plans outlined by Engineer Olmstead, with few notifications
 Upon the reception of the report a resolution was passed by the council to change the ordinance to read that way, and 1t was ordered to be printed. After the new ordinance has been in print the regulation time, the City Clerk is authorized to advertise for bids, which will take ten days longer, and then bidders will be given twenty days to fife the same

 The street committee was instruct ed to investigate and see to the imme- diate repair of the break on Naco road, where the accident happened to one of the Palace Stable wagons. and will act today.
 Instructions were also given to have somebody remove old wagons ob- structing the thoroughfares, but mo- body in particular was given any in- structons. This is supposed to be the duty of the street superintendent. but it was moved and seconded that he couldn't be moved to move any, thing, so it will have to be looked after by some other party.
 The Council adjourned to meet again Thursday evening at 7:3O, when inc street paving matter will be thor oughly gone over.
