NEW YORK. December Sit was plain
enough that the dominating influence in
the mornings dealings in the stock mar
ket was not the great activity which was
shown in the market for call loans, for
rates there were high enough in all con-
science Evidently the intensely nervous
feeling which was reflected in the early
dealings was caused by approximations as
to the outcome of todays settlement at
the stock exchange clearing house. Pre-
yious to the conclusion of the settlement
trading was in very light vG:ume, but re-
suited in extensive declines in a number
OF instances. Cases in point were North
ern Pacific. Great Northern preferred, can
adam Pacific and Reading.
AS soon as II became known, however
that no final difficulty had been experienced
at the stock exchange clearing house set
Element, the pressure upon the general mar
ket was at once lifted and prices rallied
smartly in all directions. Naturally, now
ever the trading throughout the DAY
showed no little feverishness. mainly pc
cause of the repetition of the rumors and
coniectureS respecting the status Oh d
number of firms and individuals which were
In circulation on Friday and Saturday.
In fact the Wall street Imagination
showed today remarkable fertility IN emu
merating the various supposed weak spots
I'm the community. and 1t has been long
time since names have been banded about
with as much license during the past
few days Rumors of this general descrip-
ton are perhaps inevitable. and at all
events may invariably be looked for after
such period of declining prices as mas
been witnessed in the stock market of late.
but they are nevertheless one of the most
dIsagreeable and disturbing features OF
such occasions

San Francisco Stock Ex-
change Resumes It's
Sessions.

The San Francisco Stock Exchange like
every other local interest of Importance,
is going to stay here. New York wanted
the men who handle the Tonopah and
Nevada mining stocks to locate there, and
Salt Lake also offered inducements if the
brokers would forsake San Francisco for
the Utah city. With thanks, however, all
offers were declined and yesterday morn
ing the San Francisco Stock Exchange
held its first meeting since the fire.
The meeting place was the main floor of
the Merchants Exchange, where the
members will hold their daily sessions UNI
til they once more have home of their
own.
President Ruggles is very enthusiastic
over the decision of the members of the
exchange to stay with the city that the
stocks they handle helped to make IA
nous.
1T was through the mines that San
Francisco first became a financial CEN
ter" he said yesterday after the meeting,
and the members of the San Francisco
Stock Exchange should be the last to
forsake the city by the Golden Gate San
Francisco needs all the help she can get
The more her own people can do the bet

is here to stay first because the city

that as center of commercial activity
San Francisco will be of greater impor-

one she received at his hands last Sun

days preceding the occurrence.

that 1 now believe he was sober more
than half of the times that he beat me
before the earthquake happened
She did not desire to have him i'm
prisoned as he has been i'll since going
into camp, but she would like to have
him restricted in some way from beating
her again while the saloons are closed
and intoxicating liquor is difficult to OBJ
tain even by folk who have money to
pay for it. The Judge promised to ac-
commodate her and set for today the
hearing of Mr.. Politzs defense. if he

A NEW TRIAL MOVED
 IN BEEMER VS. PEASE
An Argument on the Motion at Tuc-
 sen Today.

The train for the south last night was filled mainly with attorneys from Prescott and Phoenix, going to Tucson to argue a motion for a new trial in the case of Beemer vs. Pease, in which a Judgment for one dollar was not long ago given against the defendant, who had brought suit for S2.500,0O0
 Robert F. Morrison and Attorney General Clark of Prescott will appear for Beemer and Judge Street, Judge Baker and F.. w Lewis will represent Pease. Though the case belongs in Yuma, by common consent it was agreed to bring the motion before Judge Campbell at Tucson.
 The attorneys for Pease do not want to pay that dollar if they can get out of it. It carries too much with it, but if there is no way to avoid they go pre- pared to make up the amount of the judgment among themselves. They in sist however, that when several mill lions were sued for on one side, and only several hundred thousand dollars on the other judgment for one dollar is a splitting of the difference into very unequal parts; that it is an ex- aggerated form of the Mexican stand off

NEW SIGNAL CODE
 FOR RURAL ROUTES
A Further Betterment of the County
 Nail Service.

The rural route mail business is be-
 coming about as complicated as every
 thing else in the world and conditions
 are last shaping themselves so 1t will
 be a pretty smart man who knows
 enough to even mail a letter and do it | gracefully and scientifically. The latest device is a signal service system | which takes effect on all rural routes on July 1. The purpose is to prevent , trouble and loss of time on the part Of rural carriers and increase the utility of the service. Postmasters are recefv- ing circular letters from the depart ment of which the following is the text:
 on and after July l, 1906, patrons or the rural delivery service will be re quired to display signals on their boxes when they leave mail in them for car rlers to collect, as, after that date. car rlers, when serving their routes, vii not be required to open and examine any mail boxes except those to which they have mail to deliver and those on which signals are displayed to indi- cate there is mail for carriers to col lect.
 Those patrons whose boxes are not provided with signals must attach thereto some device which, when dis played, will plainly show passing car riers there is mail to be collected. IL is not necessary that such device shall be either complicated or costly; a very simple arrangement will answer the purpose.
 Carriers must lower the signals on boxes after making collections, pro- vlded no mail is left therein: and must display the signals when they deposit mail for patrons, unless the patrons have made request to the contrary.
 The carriers must be instructed to promptly inform patrons of their routes with regard to this order. and you should, without expense to the depart ment, use such other necessary means for informing them as will secure q complete understanding and full com pliance by all patrons on the date men toned"

A HUSBANDS REASON
 FOR GETTING MARRIED
Cave Hrs. WAitcOmh Good Ground
 for Divorce.

Mrs. Annie J. Whitcomb was yester-
 day granted a divorce from Charles B.
 Whitcomb. a nonresident, on the ground of failure to support, This suit has been on file a long time. The par ties were married in Austin, Texas. about five years ago. Very soon after the husband made it clear that he had not married for his health, but because he needed somebody to help support him, and he suggested to his wife that he should make what he could with out too great effort. and put 1t in the bank where he could get it in time of need for his own use. He pointed out that his wife. who had been engaged in featuring for some years, should keep on at it and she might make enough that way to supply the family with the comforts If not the luxuries of fife.
 Mrs. Whitcomb was also engaged in the study of law. Here was another prospective source of existence for lawyers could live on the fat of the land Naturally, q marriage entered into with a husband embracing such ideas could not be satisfactory or last ing, and Mrs Whitcomb went away On this showing the decree was grant ed.

gushing in jail instead of enjoying his
 freedom, as he is permitted to do. The
 unlucky buck is s. B. 55, and his of
 fense was being drunk and disorderiy | on Thursday of lass weeK. As was stated at the time of his arrest, he was | so drunk he could not walk down the Istreet without hitting both sides at the same time, and this in the opinion of Ranger Holmes is a little too drunk 1 for q man to be and enjoy his freedom. | Consequently he was locked up over might and on the following morning was brought before Judge Evans for ltrial. He admitted being drunk and pleaded guilty and his fine was fixed at l five dollars. Owing to circumstances | and the desire on the part of the judge to show the man all possible leniency and give him a chance 10 make good the payment of the fine was suspended during good behavior. When apprised of this fact s. B. 55 was a very happy Indian as he left the court room and his promises of good behavior were profuse.
 Tonto Basin lost two of its oldest and most esteemed citizens during the week
 that has just passed. A. A. Packard,
 who for a great many years has been Ia resident of the valley, died during
 the early part of the week at the age O. Isl years, at his late home a short dis tance above here on Tonto creek He
 was one of the earliest white settlers
 in the basin. and since his arrival here
 he has continually made it his home
 up to the time of his death. His estate
 which is fairly large and valuable, he
 leaves the bulk of to his widow and
 merely mentions his children as heirs,
 the property of the mother to go to them on her death. His body was
 buried on the farm on which he lived.
 Closely following the death of MT. Packard came that of w. I. Goswick, 1 another old settler. He, too, had been in the valley for a great many years and was counted one of the ablest and best citiezns of the community.
 D. Lee, who for some time past has | been in the employ of the reclamation | service as an engineer at the loca; | power plant, gave up his position on | Tuesday of the present week to go to ! Butte, Mont, where he will accept | position as engineer in one of the ! largest lighting plants in that place. | Before leaving for the north Mir. Lee l will spend a week or more on trip up Tonto for pleasure and health.
 MT. and Mrs. E. Duryee of Roosevelt on-the-Hin were passengers on Mon days stage for Mesa, enroute to Cali fornia, where they have gone for a short vacation. On account of Mrs. Duryee's health the trip was made a little sooner than was originally planned and she will probably remain on the coast all summer. Mir Duryee expects to be absent only about a month.
 On account of the arrival Of a ne7r high pressure water wheel for the iur- bine at the permanent power plant it was necessary to shut the plant down on Tuesday for a sufficient time to in- stall the new wheel. During the time that it will be out of commission cleo tric power will be furnished to the various parts of the project from the old steam plant. It is expected that the new plant will be running again within four or five days.
 Phil Rapier was Phoenix passenger on Tuesday morning for a weeks stay.
