Schooner Reported Ashore.

The Baltimore schooner Casper Heft,
which is reported to have gone ashore on
the Smith Point shoal, at the mouth of the
Potomac river, on the Virginia side is well
known at this port, where she frequently
comes with cargoes of lumber and other
material. The Heft was on her way from
Baltimore to Norfolk with cargo of hard
coal when she sprang a leak. Water en-
tered so fast that her pumps could not keep
her free and her master and owner, Capt
John W. Dix of Baltimore. set sail for the
nearest shore in order to get his vessel in
sboal water before she went down. When
she settled on the bottom she was in water
about fifteen feet deep, and her decks were
awash and cabins flooded. The crew had
to take to the rigging. and remained there
in the bitter cold for several hours. but
were finally taken off by a power launch.
1t is thought that the vessel will be lost
but Capt. Dix has remained near her in or
der to save her If possible and, if not. to
strip her of all articles of value. The Heft
was one of the oldest vessels in service on
Chesapeake bay. having rounded out half
century this year. She was built at VII
rl:nrton Del, in 1856. and was schooner

MORE PAVEMENT | BREWERY GULCH
Property Owners Would Ex- tend It Thirty Feet
 Up Gulch

There is a movement on foot now among the property owners on Brew cry avenue whose property lies above the present end of the pavement, to have the pavement extended up the gun 300 feet further.
 W. H. Harris of Douglas, who owns the majority of houses on the east side of the gulch. is expected 10 ar rive here either today or the first of next week, when it is expected the matter gih be finally settled. MT. Harris is planning 10 tear out the old buildings on the east side and build twostory brick buildings.
 Considerable objectionable com ment is made, about the buildings which are built out across the side walk on Brewery avenue. Between the White House saloon and the Southern Cafe, a boarding-house has its foundation built across the side walk othat it is necessary to walk out in the street aC that point.
 On the upper side Of the White House saloon the same condition ex- ists. The street committee of the Cty Council has taken the matter up and will recommend the removal Of these foundations. This will make an unobstructed sidewalk on the west side of Brewery avenue through the business section.
 The International Gas Company will again have to tear up the paving on Main street because of the defec- tive pipe which was laid before the paving was put down. IL is stated that there are seventeen leaks in the pipes which will necessitaUe cutting the paving in that many places. How ever, the gas company is under bond to the city to replace the pavement as good as it was before being torn up.

HOT TAMALE MAN
 PURSUES MINER Miner Wanted Credit Which Made Vendor More
 Than Angry

What might have ended in trag- edy. had the hot tamale man who had a butcher knife in his hand. caught the miner in a footrace from the Red light district all the way down town Thursday night and ended in the ar rest of both.
 According to the story, as related by one who saw the fight, the miner asked the tamale man for tamale until payday. The tamale man inter- iected that there was something strange that the miners were always broke" and asking for a "standoff." ," One word led to another and a fight grew imminent Trouble was avert ed, for the time being, by the man. ager of the Peoples Theater inter ,ening, this being the place where the trouble started.
 Shortly after the tamale man left bread. The moner followed him to the bottom of the steps, when a fight ensued- The miner had decidedly the best of it.
 The tamale man secured his butch CT knife and business picked up for the miner, who lead the way down the gulch toward policeheadquarters, with the tamale man in hot pursuit. AT officer arrested them.
 The tamale man appeared in Jus tice Murphy's court yesterday and was fined s25 and thirty days in jail The miner did not appear.

REGISTRATIONS ARE
 COMING IN SLOWLY
Only 8GO Have ThusFar GiVcn in Their Names To
 City Clerk

Although but little less than two weeks remain in which to register, the total number now on the regisCra- ticu book is less than 60. Registra- stion book is less than 500. Registra- who wish 10 vote at the city election win have to get on the register before that time Anyone who has been in the Territory one year, the county six months, and the ward ten days. is entitled to register.
 For short time after Judge Doan handed down his decision, in which he held that anyone who had lived here the required time and was an American citizen. could register, even tcugh his name was not on the county great register, registration picked up greatly. but in the last few days h has fallen of until not moae than five or six register each day.
 l. is estimated by the Republican and Democratic parries tbAt there ought to be at least 1.2OU votes cast at the city election to be held April 2. The poll at the last city election was considerably more than the present number registered. Both parties are going to make an effort to get every voter out ar the coming election.

DECREASE IN FIRE
 INSURANCE RATES
Underwriters Make ReduC- lion Because of Better
 Fire Protection

Bisbee- now has a reduced rate on fire insurance as a result of the work of the fire insurance men of this city. They have been working with the Board of Fire Insurance Underwriters for nearly a year to get the Insurance rates reduced. The q announcement that Bisbee would get a cheaper rate was made few days ago. to the fire insurance men here.
 On all buildings which formerly took a IS per cent. rate the rate has been reduced to 10 per cent. This re- duction was made because of the lm- ovement in fire protection serSise. which the insurance men have been advocating the past three months. aud which has recently been made. A number of fire insurance men De.ong to the volunteer fire department and were always the strong advocates in that body for better protection.
 New hose houses are being built uver the city where they will be most convenient to a locality in case of fire. The city has just purchased 2.00C feet of new hose which will at- rive here in a few days and DC pat in use. With the five new special po- iictmen who were sworn in to act m eases of fire. it is believed the ser vice is as adequate as it could Ee undez the pl esent conditions.
 A surveyor for the Sanborn Map Company is expected to arrive here soon to make a map of Bisbee for the insurance agents. This map is to show the location of every house in the city. it's position from the fire ser vice. such as hose houses and fire plugs, and such other data as is val uable in making an estimate of equit- able fire rates.

HANDWRITING ON
 WALL MUST STOP Professor PhilbrO0k is After Pupils Who Mafr
 Property

If there is one thing Superintend- ent Philbrook and the teachers at the Central school are sitting down or, and sitting on hard, it is the hand writing on the wall which the school children are in habt Of doing during the recesses and noon hour.
 Since the new school building has been in use this practice has nearly been eliminated, though occasion ally some boy whose heart is beating in love for his little girl classmate will steal a chance to put in wrIung on the wall his feeling" for her. He never signs his name to the little loye-gem, and even though be be call ed before the chief high magistrate of the school to account for il, he oC- nies the writing, even though a half dozen boys be standing by pointing their fingers at him and declaring, You did. too; we seen you
 Occasionally, too, a boy who has met with a reprimand by his teacher will take a chance at writing on the wall in a place where he knows the teacher will see it: Miss - is a foll, and nobody likes her" Or, il , he has been turned over a desk by MT. Philbrook, who put the kibosh' onto him with a ruler, the chances are the boy will write some mighty hot para graphs about MT. Philbrook. in a dozen places over the b,ilding.
 The girl scholars are not above this
 sort of practice. On their desks, 1T the basement and on the walls. an! place they think most conspicuous they will write their contempt for tht teacher or schoolmate. The girls | too, are worse for writing notes ant l throwing them across the aisle to tht ,recipient- Both the writing on tbe
 wall and notes have now been prac
 ticaIly eliminated, especially since i has been made an offense punishable by a few brief moments across a desl under the weight of a ruler wieldet
 by Superintendent Philbrook.
 But few of the scholars who hav'
 been accused of doing anything con trary to the rules of the school ana
