Mrs J. I. Williamson Rendered Unconscious as Result of
 Accident.
GIVEN PROMPT
 MEDICAL ATTENTION.
Wheel of Rig Climbs Back and f Throws Mrs. Pettee and Mrs. sbWIlianSon to Ground With
 Considerable Violence.

Rendered unconscious by being thrown from cart and then run over. Mrs. J. T. Williamson was yesterday about noon taken to Lowell. where she was given medical attention by Dr. Bledsoe, and after being removed to her home again had to have atten- tion
 Shortly before noon, Mrs. William son, with Mrs. M. B. Pettee, were driving in a cart, and as they were rounding a turn in the road below Lowell the horse shied to one side, one of the wheels climbing the bank and tipping the rig over.
 Both Mrs. Williamson and Mrs. Pet tee were thrown heavily to the ground. the former striking on her head and breast. She fell directly in front of the cart, which passed over her body, the horse starting to run when the accident happened.
 The force of the fall knocked Mrs. Williamson senseless and she lay in the road until Rev. Dan Trundle, who happened to be riding horseback but a short distance ahead, rushed back to their rescue. He hailed a passing cbrTldgS anu IOOk the uniOI ILuholS w man to Lowell. On the way to that place she regained her sense.
 Dr. Bledsoe was summoned and reached the injured women but few minutes after they were hurt. Hs found Mrs. Williamson suffering great Iy from the shock and badly bruised in several parts of the body. An ex- animation showed that no bones had been broken.
 Though badly shaken up, Mrs. Pet tee escaped with nothing more severe than few bruises, though in falling she struck hard part of the road and several rocks. She was able to be uI and around last night and will not be confined to her bed.
 It is probable that Mrs. Williamson will not be out for several days. Last night she was suffering from the ner'
 vous shock, as well as the pain iron the bruises she sustained. It is con | sidered fortunate that her skull was not fractured. Her face bears seyera scratches as a result of the fall she | took.
 No blame is attached to anyone fol l the accident The horse was not 1T | fractious mood and showed no in ! clination to orrun away until after the cart had tipped over. He was caught near Lowell after badly damaging the rig hitched to. him. The ladies were brought to Bisbee after seen by Dr | Bledsoe in carriage obtained in LOW | ell.

l E. Thompson, of the firm of J. l.. Thompson CO, will begin this morning the work of maping out streets and alIeyways,. in systematic manner, in all parts of the city. MT. Thompson is donating his time and services to xhe city in behalf of the Chamber ol Commerce. A surveyor has been em' oloyed and at some future date, not far distant, he will make his report to the chamber with his recommenua' tions. The idea of the Chamber of Commerce in undertaking this work was to make all sections of the city, especially the residence portions, more easy of access. The Review under stands that the movement has the en- isorsement of the City Council and the work about to be inangurated will pro vide maps and data to work on. It is no small undertaking, and it is to be hoped that the citizens in different sections of the city will assist in the work. More streets and roadways, easier grades, and an orderly system oi numbering residences in the city, is ar important municipal improvement tEat is badly needed.

A SURE SIGN OF TIE TIMES.


 Press dispatches this week an nounce the appointment by the Presi- de at of Bernard s. Rodey. former dele gate of New Mexico, to be United States District Judge for the district Of Porto Rico.
 The appointment of Rodey 10 this distant post is a sure sign of the times. and the sign reads that the President and Rodey have thrown up the sponge in the Statehood fight, and thai Rcdey, the champion of joint Statehood for Arizona and New Mex ico. has been slowed. away indefinitely in q comfortable berth. In the event that the enemies of Arizona had sue eaedea in their efforts to join the two Territories together. the political slate vas marked with Rodey's name oppo- site the position of United States Sen aior and there is no longer doubt that he would have had the backing of the administration forces. But the jig jE I'D. The forwarding of Rodey by the administration forces to some other cline is proof conclusive.

Some of the newspapers of northern Arizona have an entirely -rong i'm pression of the present political situ- ation in the southern counties, so far as 1t concerns the democratic nomi- nee for Congress. So far as known in the large democratic counties south of the '.Hasayamu" there is net dis senting voice to the nomination of Mark Smith. Certainly there is no other candidate in this section. The south has many distinguished demo crats who could successfully carry the democratic banner. but at present all concede that the logical thing to do this year is to again name Mark Smith. and thus insure a complete victory.

THE STATEHOOD SITUATION.

It is probable that the two houses of Congress on the statehood bill will agree upon a report today or tomor- row The word has been passed to Beveridge to haul in his horns and cover his retreat as gracefully as pos sible. All of which is well.
 Fifty-two years ago this month MT. Stephen A. Douglas, then chairman of the Senate committee on territories, was urging the Kansas-Nebraska act, and then and there was born the re- publican party. .Tbat was during the existence Of the Tnirty-third Congress. Twenty-two years later, during the life of the Forty-fourth Congress. the state of Colorado vas born of fate and of the Hon. Tom. Patterson's elo- quence Samuel T Randall, demo cratic leader, and Eugene Hale, re- publican leader. opposed the thing with great force, but with no avail. and Colorado got into the Union July i, 1876, just in tirue to make R. B. Hayes president of the United States at least, that is the tradition.
 Thus, observes the Tucson Citizen, the republican party is much indebted to congressional committees on terri tories, but fortune can readily change from a radiant maiden to a wrathful termagant, and the conduct of the re- publican leaders toward Oklahoma and Indian Territory is enough to turn the | trick.
 Those territories have population sufficient to entitle them to five mem bers of Congress, under the present apportionment, if admitted into the Union this session; but for home req son or other it is the desire of certain eminent gentlemen in high authority that Oklahoma and Indian Territory shall not be given statehood unless Arizona and New Mexico are misce genated into single state in the same bill.
 The country is getting out of pa tience with that sort of thing. The Senate has reflected public opinion and the House would have reflected it just as pronouncedly if the House leaders had permitted 1t. Public opin ion was suppressed and incarceratet in the House; but public opinion out side cannot be suppressed or incarcer ated. It is making itself felt, and i I is quite likely that it will force thu admission of Oklahoma and Indiar Territory, under the Senate bill.
 The executive, the Senate and thC House are all republican, and all par tisan. They are persuaded that it il the loftiest patriotism on the part O
 the democracy to be in the minority
 They will not willingly do anything to make Oklahoma a democratic state and it is quite likely that the presi dent and Speaker Cannon now se'
 that it is time to take the back tracl and surrender with all the grace the. possibly can muster.
 So the word has been passed by tn,
 masters to Beveridge and he will pro
 duce "compromise' in the shape o
 the Foraker amendment, which vii permit Arizona and New Mexico t vote separately on the question o
 joining in statehood. This all tha Arizona desires now; it is all Arizon
 has asked for since the infamous join statehood proposal was first made.

If the taxpayers of Lowell would come into the incorporated limits of Bisbee. their taxes would be l per cent. on the assessed valuation. That is the limit fixed by law in this Terri tory for city taxes. By paying their small proportion the people of Lowell would have representation on the City Council; would receive adequate fire protection: would share in the benefits of municipal sewer, and would be provided with police protection. Those are some of the benefits at cost of l per cent. that some of the good people residing in the vicinity of Lowell have evidently not thought of.

A correspondent Of the Jackson
Clarion-Ledger suggests that put
ting on the market of $500 feet
frontage Of real estate. in the bust
ness district of that city-the old
State capitol grounds have
the effect of depressing values
in that class Of property, and ad-
vises that the Legislature hold it a
while longer in order to poise the
market as well as to secure an en-
HANGED price. There is some logic
in his argument as to both points.
That amount of desirable building
ground for business houses would
supply the market fol- quite a while
unless the town was growing at an
abnormal rate, and other eligible
vacant lots in the neighborhood of
the business centers would necessa-
rily suffer serious depreciation.
This property, however. has been
tentatively understood to Ike on the
market at almost any time since the
new capitol was erected. and the
L, gislature will hardly consider the
matter of preston or the sugges-
ton to hold the property for higher
figures than those ruling at this
time, if it should order the sale of
it. About the best thing to pre-
serve the balance of values would
be the organization of a syndicate
and the purchase of the whole
ground in a lump, to be disposed
of gradually at whatever prices the
situation of affairs in the city will
justify.

Hon. e. S. Gambler, Jr.

The people of the district will
be gratified to learn that Hon. Z.
>. Gambler, Jr. has formally an
nounced for reelection to Congress.
No representative in the national
assembly from this district since
ante-bellum days, has applied him
self with greater energy, ability, or
has been able TO achieve more for
his constituency than has Mr.. Can
dler. His close application to the
wants and interests of th, Southern
section, and his defensc Of Southern
customs and institutions whene yer
and wherever they have been as
sailed, has endeared him to the
people of his district, and has
placed him in the fore front of popu-
larity so that no aspirant for con-
gressional honors is likel,- to contest
as long as little Zeke" desires to
represent his people.
His record for accomplishing ben
eficial legislation for his section and
of securing fair consideration of ap-
preparations to improve Southern
ports, harbors and streams are mat
tiers of too wide knowledge to re-
quire specific mention here Suf-
flee it to say that his official record
is the property of the public and is
50 marked with earnest endeavor to
serve his section and people faith
fully that the more it is brought
into the light of investigation the
more commendatory of him it will
appear.
In closing this editorial announc-
ment, it gives the Weekly pleasure
to announce that it believes that
Mr.. Gambler will be returned with
out shadow Of opposition in the
entire district.

nomination for chairman was made
by Congressman E. j. Bowers OF
Mississippi. member of the commit
tee from this State. It has been
heralded in advance of the meeting
that the selection of the Georgian
for chairman was secured by Mr..
Hurst in the interest of his political
ambitions, but in assuming the po-
sition Mr.. Griggs made an unequiv-
ocal and apparently sincere state
ment that MY election means
nothing but fight all along the line
for a Democratic House Of Repre-
sentatives. 1t bears no relation to
the political fortunes Of any one OF
to the success of any faction. =

The city council Of Chicago on
Monday, by a decisive vote, placed
that city in the high license class az
regards the liquor traffic. The re-
tail privilege licenses on all saloons
were raised from $500 to 81 600,
thus increasing the revenues by
81. 500. 600, and enabling the EN-.
ployment Of 1000 additional police
men. It will also have the effect
of closing immense numbers of low
brothels and joints where cheap IL
quors were dispensed, and where
thugs and thieves were housed and
encouraged in lawlessness.

Who Are For Sale?

A dispatch to the Brooklyn Eagle
from Washington declares that a
prominent Republican Senator has
offered for sale to the President
three Democratic votes in the SEN
ate for the Santo Domingo treaty,
the price being a declaration by the
President in favor of court re-
view" clause Of the rate regulation
bill go much desired by the railroad
Senators. 1t is true that the words
for sale" are not used in the dis
patch, but that is what it conveyed
and that alone. The dicker is ex-
pressed plainly enough. These Sen
ators were to vote for the treaty if
the President would assist them in
burking the rate bill. 1t is true,
unfortunately, that there is a wide
ly expressed opinion in this country
that one has the right to sell his
vote for anything but cash, but the
proceeding is not less corrupt be-
cause the price is some other con-
sideratiOn.
The names Of these three Senators
whose votes are for sale. and the
man who has them for sale, should
be made public, that the constitu-
ents of the four may attach the pro-
per penalty for their corruption.
There is no connection whatever
between the treaty and the rate bill,
and by no mental process can a
Senator excuse his vote for one of
the measures, because of his attitude
on the other. And such trade as
that indicated is a direct bargain
and sale, and it is gratifying to
know that the President at once re-
jected the proffer. He does not
propose to change his attitude to-
ward the rate bill for any reason
whatever, and will see the other
measures in which he is deeply in
terested defeated rather than carry
them through by any such corrupt
bargins. This sort of trading has
not been unknown in the past; in
fact, it has been so common that
the average man is disposed to look
upon it as legitimate for of poll
teal trading, but this view will not
stand the test of reason. Why
should it be dishonest to sell ones
vote for cash and not for another
consideration? The dicker pro-
posed is, in fact a double sale, for
two bills are to be PASSED by
single trade. The plan is, therefore
more serious so far as it effects are
concerned, than if the votes had
been offered for cash.
Every effort should be made to
expose the four venal Senators, and
if the names were given to the Pres
ident it is to hoped that he will
give the matter all publicity posi-
BILE. There could be no more dan
gerous trading away of the public
interest than was here proposed,
and the presence of the three Sem
ators in the upper House is a con-
tinual menace to the public welfare.
