 Wrecked Damage

The rain that visited Tombstone during the past several days appears to have been general and devastating in some instances. Mesger reports from Clifton state that one-half of that thrifty city has been swept away by flood. and that sixty people were sacrificed to the anger of the tsrrent. The PhOepix & Eastern bridge over the Salt river at Tempe is reported partially submerged and dangerously damaged!
 The Norris & Rowe circus, billed to show in Tombstone tonight, has been caught between wsshouts on the G. V., G. & N. road, and as a consequence will be unable to make good the date. It is possible that the show may con- clude to come in later, but up to the hour of going to press nothing def- mite Is known.

The Worlds
 loftiest Building

When the tall office building, in the course of its rapid evolution, had
 attained the height of 300 feet. it was
 freely predicted that the limit had
 been reached, and that future struct-
 ures in New York City:would be oi
 more reasonable vertical dimensions
 That prediction was made not much
 more than a decade ago; and yet to . day there is in couse of construction in lower New York building whose summit will reach heavenward for over twice 30e feet. The new build- ing, which will be in the form of a tower and will constitute part of an extension of the present Singer build- ing at the corner of Liberty street and Broadway, will contain fl stories and the top of it's cupela will be 612 feet above the street level.
 Not only will the Singer tower be the loftiest inhabited building in the world, but it will exceed in vertical height the famous Washington mon. ument on the banks of the Potomac which, with its total height of 555 feet, is ct present the tsllest masonry structure erected by man. Although | the Singer tower will lack some 300 | Feet of equaling the famous Eiffel | tower, it will be far more difficult and costly structure to erect, and be- cause of it's narrow base will involve more complicated and serious en- problems.

Bold Acd of a
 DastardIy Villain

The Phoenix Gazette has the follow
 ing:
 l Because she had no food in tn
 house with which to appease::the hun ger of an unknown man who stoppe, at her ranch homej in Peoples valle, and demanded food, Mrs. T. Weislin, had her house and its contents de stroyed by fire.
 It appesrs that about g o'clock ir the morning . stranger entered ths Weisling house, which was occupied by Mrs. Weisling and her two small children, and asked for breakfast. She informed him that the morning meal was over and that she had no eatables cooked, but volunteered to prepare him something that would appease his hunger if he would wait for little while.
 This appeared to incense the stran- ger and She left the house, Mrs. weis- ling paying no further attention to his actions.
 A little later she was surprised to find the house on fire, and after run ming out of the building with her two children, saw the stranger running in the direction of Kirkland.
 After the fre1 had destroyed her house completely she left for the Monica mine, some distance away, where her: husband is employed. in- hin of what had mapped.
 A messenger was dispatched at once to Kirkland to notify the sheriff's office and give . description of the criminal.
