To Prevent Collisions.


Signal experts, representing all the
main railroads of this country, wit.
messed u successful demonstration at
Ptttsburg, Pa, the other afternoon, OF
the new automatic devise for the pre-.
vention OF railroad collisions on about
five miles OF the eastern division OF
the Pittsburg. Fort Wayne and Chi.
cago railroad, which had been equip.
ped for this purpose, A duplicate OF
the device had been fixed up In q
passenger coach, About 200 experts
were present. There wer sever
blocks IN the five miles and wherever
1t was necessary the new device au.
tomatically shut off the steam and ap-
piled the brakes without the assist.
ance of the engineer. Tests were
made at rates Of speed varying from
thirty.five miles an hour to sixty
miles, and In every case the train was
automatically stopped. Visiting ex-
perts took their turn in the cab.
Among those present were +. B.
Corey of the general electric company
Of New York. and il was the opinion
q; all that witnessed or took part in
the tests that the system had proven
Il necessity for railroads. Special
comment was made on the manner by
which the human element had been
eliminated, thereby preventing all the
many accidents brought about by mis-
reading or misunderstanding OF or.
ders.
Photo Passes.
A pow wow'of the representatives OF
the general passenger departments OF
the Texas roads has been held in Fort
Worth. While nothing official has
been given out about the conference,
it is said that one of the chief propo-
sitions on the program was the photo
pass plan. 1t is proposed TO have
every trip pass bear a photograph
likeness of the party To whom it was
issued. One passenger agent suggest
ed that two views Of the pass holder
be exhibited, one side view and one
front view. Another agent has sent in
his idea that the two views be 'be.
fore" and latter" receiving the pass.
The question of who is to stand the
expense of the pictures has afforded
all kinds of argument. Some of the
passenger men declare that a person
receiving complimentary t%ransporta-
ton should be willing TO pay fifteen
or twenty cents to have his or her
mug took" and pasted on the pass.
Others argue that this would make
the issuers of free transportation APP
pear cheap John" to collect photo
charges every time they issue a trip
pass. Whether the official photog-
rapher shall be stationed in the office
of the general passenger department
or be assigned to quarters in the de-
pot ticket office is another ~perplexing
question to be decided.

er states.

A man with a marvellous mug
Rode out of Fort Scott on a nag;
He carried a jug in a bag.
And many and many a swig
Reposed in that corpulent jug,
And a cob fitted in as a plug
AS snug as a snag in a bog.
The nag had a wigglety jig
Which churned up the jag N the
jug,
And along by its side vent a dog
Which jiggled along a jog.
With a narrative shaggy and sag
Which he YEARLY. warily wug.
o, that Jig and that jog Inc that jag;
o, that jog and that jag and that jug.
The man shouted Whoa" to the nag.
Then took out the jug from the bag.
Then took out the plug from the jug
And then from the jug took a jag.
A terrible. horrible jag.
Which acted quick as a drug.
He shouted "Yip-yip" to the nag
And dug in his heels with a dig,
And the nag who would never renig
| Sprang off with the speed of a stag.
Then the man with the marvellous
mug
Began a vociferous brag-
"Whoop-pee-Tm a bird on a crag.
I'm a thief and a wolf, and a thug.
I'm a bug eater hunting a bug.
o, 1 could hold more than a Kag,
And l have Doodle and swag
That says my grave don't get dug"
To the front with a yelp went the dog
And shouting "Yip-yip' to the nag,
Pell-mell with the jug and h bag
Went the man with the marvellous
mug.
And there in the road lay a hog
AS still as a bump on a log.
Then down in a pile went the nag.
And the dog and the hog and the
jug,
And that was the end of the hog,
And that was the end of the dog,
And vain were his efforts to wag
The narrative previously wug.
And timber and limp as a rag
In a wad on his lug lay the nag.
And then the man with the marvellous
mug
Rolled up like like a cavalry flag,
Done up like a family rug,

and Indian Territory He declar-
ed that the trainers of the constitu-
ton were of the white race, and that
it was no the intention that Next

NEW MEXICO AND ARIZONA.

The debate on the bill to admit
New Mexico and Arizona as a single
state. to be known by the latter name
will probably continue in the senate
through the greater part of this week.
1t Is said that vigorous protests will
be presented from Arizona, many of
the people of tina Territory being op-
posed to the measure. The fact that
the name of Arizona will be preser
we'd does not seem to outweigh the
fear tina New Mexico would dominate
in the affairs of the new state. Along
with this is the hope that if joint
statehood is rejected separate state
hood will come in the neal future.
II passes the bill for joint
statehood it will be for the people of
Arizona and New Mexico to say whe-
Their they will accept its provisions
and come into the Union on those
terms or whether they will remain
under their present Territorial gov
ernments.
1t will be a choice between joint
statehood, resulting in the establish
ment Of a great commonwealth, able
to stand upon its own feet from the
beginning. and a territorial govern
ment for an indefinite time to come.
II is improbable nat If the present
state of public sentiment continues
either New Mexico or Arizona will
be admitted separately until after the
next national census Is taken; and
III then the showing of population is
not large, admission may be delayed
for many years-ADenver Republican.

Illness of Sandy Brodie
present.

Col. B. w. Leavell, who has re-
 turned from Prescott after stay of several weeks there, reports that he received letter under date of June 16 from Col. Alex O. Brodie. It announces the very serious ill ness of Sandy, the only child of Colonel and Mrs. Brodie, though at the time of writing the child was somewhat improved. The family is living at hospital in Manila so that Sandy may have the best med ical attention possible and still be near his parents, who idolize him. Sandy is well known in Phoenix, almost as well known as his par ents, and all will unite in wishing for him a speedy recovery. Col. Brodie writes that he and Mrs. Brodie are well, but that Mrs. Bro- die will probably return to this country with their son as soon as he is able to travel.-Republican

PHOENIX LAND OFFICE
Information That Consolidation
 Will Soon Be Effected

The Gazette of July IA has posi- tive information that the land offices at Tuson and Prescott are to be consolidated shortly and that the authorities at Washington have decided on Phoenix for the head quarters of the consolidated offices The information is trustworty but for personal reasons the parties furnishing it wish their names and the source of their information withheld for the present.
 It has been known for some time that the government contemplated consolidating the two offices and the order was made some time ago for their consolidation. Receiver Hildreth of the Prescott office learning of this made a trip to Washington where he used his best efforts to have the order changed but failing in this. and learning that it was not decided whether Tucson or Phoenix should be selected he began working to have the office located at Phoenix This action on the part of Mir. Hil- dreth was not because of any pref erence for the capital city over Tucson other than that he believed Phoenix to be most conveniently located for the largest number of people effected.
 The order was made out at the time of Mir. Hildreth's Washington visit and only lacked the signature of Commissioner Richards of the general land office to make it effect i've. It is understood that Mr.. Richards was in favor of Phoenix but he was out of the city at the time and before his return other in- huences started in to work against the city and on his return the order was held up. But from the Ga zett's information it would seem as though these influences were not as strong as they were supposed to be and that the original order calling | for the removal of the offices to this city will be immediately made effective.

The birth of freak animals is often reported, but it is unusual for them to live to maturity, particu- larly if the freak be specially un- usual one. It was learned yester- day that there is now a freak horse in Mesa City, an animal with three front feet. It is not merely q colt, but fully matured horse, that was raised in Tonto Basin The fifth foot is we'll developed. and is at tached to the inside of one of the front legs, which have by instinct been trained to spread enough to accommodate it. While it is a hindrance rather than a benefit to the horse, it does not destroy his usefulness.-Republican.

Terrible Crime in GiIa County.

A special dispatch to the Herald from Globe, Arizona, under date of July 16, says: A large posse, com posed of rangers, deputy sheriffs and residents of the section sur rounding the scene of the atrocious murder of s. s. Plunkett and Ed ward Kennedy near Livingstone, have secured the country in all di- rections since the crime became known. Two Indian trailers of great expertness have taken up the trail. Scouts just in from the scene are of the opinion that the men or one of them may be safe across the Mexican border by this time.
 One of the suspected murderers is tall, slim, light complexioned Mexican and the other is short. thick set, half breed Yaqui Indian. They had been working on the gov ernment canal for some time but had trouble there and went to work for Plunkett only two or three days before the murder. Two competent witnesses are positive they can identify the men even they be dis guised. They are now in Globe to inspect all suspects who may be brought in.
 The reward offered by the county authorities has stimulated the eff forts of the officers and private citi- zens who believe they can identify the men if discovered. An iron bar one half inch in diameter was used to kill Plunkett, while Kennedy was knifed to death on the porch of his house and his body brought in- side, an old butcher knife being the weapon used. A blcodstained shirt was discarded by one of the mur- derers which IS now in the possess ion of the sheriff's office here and singularly bears the Earl & Wilson, trade mark, a peculiar circum stance considering the occupation of the men.
 This clew may lead to the appre hension of the guilty party or par ties. The funeral here this after noon was largely attended, many of the most prominent people in the city being present. Should the guilty men be apprehended it is morally certain that if their identity was established there would be no costs for Gila county to pay for trial and punishment. The crime is one of the most fendish ever commit ted in this territory and the com munity is greatly excited.
