As Consequence There Will Be ses. sion Today-Expected Agreement Will Then Be Reached to Adjourn to End of Next Week-Talk of Wells to Succeed Governor Brodie.
Special to ReviewD

Phoenix. Jan. 27.-Both houses of the Legislature adjourned this after noon with the conference report still unsettled on the part of the joint com mittee appointed by both houses to fix the time and length of the ad- journment which is to be taken to give the junketing committees time to make their trips. The Council and House were unable to reach an agreement. and in consequence the legislature will again be in session tomorrow.
 The question of Governor Brodie's successor continues to be the subject of conversation about the capital.' It is conceded that Nichols could get the appointment if he would take it. but there Is a difference of $3,000 be tween the salary of the secretary of
 the territory and that of the gover- nor. It is stated tonight that Wells. iof Prescott. is being favorably consid- cred for the place.
 The Legislature will undoubtedly adjourn tomorrow until the latter part ! of next week at the least.

REGULAR GUARD AT JAIL
WILL BE IN ADDITION TO JAiLER AT THE NEW COUNTY
 BRANCH.
Not Proposed to Omit Precautions to Prevent Escapes by Prisoners Who May Be Lodged-JaiIer and Guard Not Vet Named.

The new branch county jail will probably have a guard regularly en- ployed in addition to the jailer when it is opened for use some time during the coming week. Such is the report from reliable source, given when in- quiry was made as to who would prcb- ably be the jailer.
 Both the taller and the guard will be named by the sheriff. It is pre- sumed that Deputy Doyle will be the jailer. The name of the guard is still in the air. Furnishings are now being put in the jail. These include equipment for a living room, which it is presumed will be assigned to the guard. who will be on duty continu- cusly at the jail. The appointment of guard is due to the escapes which have been effected in the city and the conviction that the only certain way of preventing occurrences of the kind in the future is in keeping a reliable man on duty at all times.

 This terrible ceed was the resuit |of the gambling table. Walters for several months was interested in the poker game which was run in the |sorts in Nogales. A few days ago there was a disagreement between Conn and Walters, resulting in Wat ters losing his interest in the game. Last night Walters went to the sa- loon and played in the poker game in which he had been formerly inter tested as proprietor. He played until this morning at 3 o'clock. and quit S45 loser. On leaving the game he exhibited much dissatisfaction, declar- ling that he had been robbed of his money. He indulged in some abusive language towards Conn and then left the saloon.
 Nothing more was thought of the matter until 4:90 this morning, when Waters appeared in the door of the sa loon with six-shooter in hand The poker game had just broken up, and those who had been playing were still | in the saloon. Without a word Wat ters began his bloody work by shoot ing Conn through the head. The next shot was aimed at John Johnson. bet ter known as Cow Boy Johnson a well known character in Arizona and New Mexico. Johnson was shot in the head. the bullet passing entirely through it and also going through the top of the hat worn by Geo. Spingle grazing his scalp. Then Waters shot | a Mexican named Lavette, the bullet striking him also in the head.
 After this work Walters turned his gun on himself and sent bullet through his own brain.
 John Johnson. who was killed. was at one time a deputy sheriff in Silver City. NJ NJ. Conn was one of the old timers of Arizona, ant was in the sd- loon business at Tucson in the early days His saloon in Nogales was one of the largest in the place. He was
 very popular and extremely liberal in all matters of charity or progress of the city. George Spindle is well known in Cochise county and at Can anea.

 'It is almost impossible for me to convince myself" said Mir. Turner, that the news must be true. NJ. M- Conn was one of my best friends, and most every other man in Nogales can say the same thing of him. He had net an enemy in the territory to my knowledge One of it's best citizens for over a quarter of a century. he had time and again proven himself a man of heart, with malice toward none. His death in this way is sad blow to all of us. The man who did the killing ' knew by sight. He had always con ducted himself about Nogales in a de cent way. can account for his ceed of this morning only on the theory that he was seized with sudden insan |ity."

Every indication seems to point to disintergration of the strike movement in Russia. Several large factories reopen ed yesterday. and a general re- sumption of work on Monday is probable. Gen. Kuropatkin's report of , success of his latest forward movement seems to have ac quired in St. Petersburg added , importance, as being a check to Japanese a6vance It is probable this has had some effect toward quieting the uneasy populace of the Russian capital, but in any case the workmen seem to have been converted to the idea that their surest reliance for remedy of their grievances is in the | government. At Warsaw yesterday there was a serious collision between the workmen and soldiers. Of ficial reports give the casualties , as two killed and seven wound , ed. The strike at Libau con , inues. and there has been no . material change sn the situation at Moscow. SaratOff and Lodz. There are grave fears of , trouble at Ivanovo Voznesnesk, , the foremost cotton goods manufacturing town in the Rus sian Empire.
