LIGHT VOTE IN CITY
Special Election to Consider Fair
Grounds Purchase by County Fails
to Attract Voters Of the City -
Total Vote al 1880 Was 613.

The special election today, at which
was submitted the PROPOSE ion Of au-
thorizing the board of supervisors to
purchase Finkle's park for county fair
purposes failed to attract as much at
tention as it should within the city,
AZ 1890 this afternoon total OF 6lS
votes had been cast. The Second head.
ed the list at that hour with 1876, and J
the Fifth was at the foot with put
twenty six.
There is believed to be scarcely any
opposition to the proposition in the
CITY altho there was a sentiment ex-
pressed by some of the laboring peo-
nile to the effect that the fair GROUNDS
would do them no good" hence what
was the use OF the county spending the
money. This element, however. Is not
large, and, in the opinion OF many m
lterested in the fair, will cut but little
f,pure. Some who have been loudest
IN their talk Of opposition would not
be concerned % cents worth II the
election were to vote a special tax 70
buy the property. The question now
ever is not one of tax levy. but OF q
county investment Of $11, 900 for fine
piece of property worth much more
money

City is Paying 6 Per Cent on
Outstanding Sewer Warrants,
Which is Burdensome
DEvINE PRESENTS a PLAN
Chairman of Ways and Means Com
mittee Introduces Resolution That
Mayor commends as Wise Plan and
Economical Movement-Action Like
~ in Another Week.

In order to provide more means In
the sewer department of the city,
which is practically without funds as
a result of the high rate of interest
being paid at present on outstanding
bonds, Chairman Devine, of the ways
and means committee of the city coun-
ell, presented a plan Monday night
that. II successfully carried out. will
relieve the situation considerably.
The city is paying at the present
time 6 per cent on outstanding bonds
in both the general and sewer funds.
and the ways and means committee
believes these bonds can be refunded
at a. lower rate of interest, and the
saving can be turned into the city
treasury, where it is much needed.
There is in the general fund $4,000 or
more outstanding, and in the sewer
fund $1,000 or more. both bearing 8
per cent.
The resolution presented by Mr.. De-
vine declared that as it is deemed for
the best interests Of the city to refund
these bonds. the mayor and city clerk
be directed to consult the different To-
cal banks and others who may be In
terested, for the purpose of issuing and
selling bonds that will not bear inter-
est to exceed Az per cent. The reso-
luton was adopted. "a
Mr.. Devine believes that the bonds
can be floated at 4 per cent and that a
nice little saving can be made to the
city by making the refund. AS the sit
uation Is now. the small levy for the
sewer fund does but little more than
care for the heavy interest on the
Outstanding indebtedness.
Mayor Ingledue commended the pro-
posed action of the committee most
heartily, and said he considered the
plan as one both wise and in the direc-
lion of economy.

THE GREATEST WEDDING.
Over Twenty Thousand Persons Wer
 Married by One Ceremony.

Over Twenty Thousand Persons Were
 . Married by One Ceremony.
 The biggest wedding ever known to history was when Alexander the Great and over 10000 of his soldiers took part in wedding in the court of Da- rius, king of Persia, after the latter's conquest by Alexander. Twenty thou- sand two hundred and two persons were made husbands and wives in one ceremony. .,-%
 The facts are these: After conquer ing King Darius, Alexander deter mined to wed Statiro, daughter of the conquered king, and issued decree that on that occasion 100 of his chief officers should marry 100 women from the noblest Persian and Medean fam flies. He further stipulated that 10000 of his Greek soldiers should take to wife 10000 Asiatic women.
 For this purpose vast pavilion was erected, the pillars being sixty feet high. One hundred gorgeous cham bers adjoined this for the 100 noble bridegrooms, while for the 10000 sol diers an outer court was inclosed. Out side of this tables were spread for the multitude.
 Each pair had seats and ranged themselves in semicircle round the royal throne. As it would have taken several weeks for the few priests to have married this vast number of cou- ples had the ceremony been performed in the ordinary way, Alexander invent ed simple way out of the difficulty. He gave his hand to Statiro and kissed her, and all the remaining bridegrooms did the same to the women beside them, and thus ended the ceremony that united the greatest number of people at one time ever known.
 Then occurred five days festival which for grandeur and magnificence never has since been equaled.
