THE MARIcoPA-YUMA eoUN.

DARY-County Surveyor w. H. Elliott of Yuma county was in the city yes terday and speaking of the dispute re- garding the boundary line between this and Yuma counties said that the board of supervisors of the latter county had already taken action in the matter. re- Questing the board of this county to appoint a surveyor to meet a surveyor of Yuma and ascertain the the precise location of the boundary line. There is really nothing to be settled said MT. Elliott for the statutes provide that the boundary shall be on 113 degrees 20 minutes west longitude. whereas the present boundary is three miles west of that. The error was made by Will liam Breckenridge for this county and L. A. Hicks for Yuma. The error ex- tends along the western boundary of Yavapai county also. The three mile strip between Maricopa and Yuma is not of great known value for no mines of any importance lie within it. But three miles of the Southern Pacific railroad is worth a good deal to any county for taxable purposes and there is no telling what may turn up in that mining district along the border.

 ROCKED STREET CARS-Assist ant Superintendent Mosely of the Phoenix Street Railway company last night reported to the city police the action of some young men in the vicin- ity of Lount's ice factory The mis- creants were last evening engaged in throwing cinders at the passing street cars. striking several passengers and knocking hole in one gentleman's hat. IL was learned that no one was particularly injured but it is an inde- fensible pastime and if repeated the offenders will be summarily dealt with. A flying cinder is a very dangerous missile. and if it should happen to strike some one in the eye would cause painful and possible permanent injury. The people in the cars were very much annoyed with the throwing. but as the parties were warned it Is

CONCORD. N. H., April s.-The
next move of the plaintiffs lin the
suit 10 make the leaders of the Chris.
lian Science Church account for their
management OF Mrs. Mary Baker G..
Eddy's millions will probably be a
direct attack upon Mrs. Eddy herself
TO this they have been driven by
the unexpected action of the "Pleas-
ant View clique" in transferring all
of Mrs. Eddy's property to trustees,
who yesterday petitioned the court
Tor leave to supplant the next
friends who brought the present
suit.
The opposition, 1t is said, will meet
this trusteeship by the allegation that
Mrs. Eddy was not competent to exc
cute such a deed, and such con
tentioil can be decided only by the
appointment of commission to In.
qnire into her mental condition.
Senator William Chandler, senior
counsel for the plaintiffs, is in Wash

studied the case say that by no other
means can the last step of the de-
tense lie met. IL the court grants the
petition of the new trustees, and the
trust stands. the original petitioners

plaintiffs declare that the appoint
