Bltten by Lizard.

Word has been received from Prescott of the departure of Mrs. Philip Morgan for Chicago, taking her little 6year old daughter to the pasteur Institute for treatment.
 The child was bitten while play ing q few days ago by a peculiar looking reptile of the lizard family, much larger than the ordinary liz ard ,and with broad, yellow mark ings, thus distinguishing it from the Gila monster. The wound was promptly cauterized, but inflam- nation continued to increase and tetantus was narrowly averted. The physicians advised Mrs. Nor gan to take the child at once to Chicago for treatment. So far as is known no other lizard of the same species has been found in the vicinity

oil in Mohave County

Recorder McNeely has received seventv-hve oil location notices for record from the Northern Mohave oil field. It appears that the find ing of seepage ln this country IS bringing in prospect0rs in large numbers and we expect that should oil be found our northern strip will prove one of the most valuable pos sessions of the territory. The country is a peculiar one, the for nation being sandstone, lime and shales. In places there are small cappines of volcanic tutf and ash,
 the tutf covering the high cliffs in cubical pinnacles. Some distance north of the Grand Canyon there are high granite mountain peaks covered with a heavy growth ol pine timber, which extends onto the great Buckskin or Kaibab Pla- teau. This plateau IS sandstone and lime and many rich mines ol copper have been found in it, but owing to its great distance from railroads little effort has been made to develop the mines. The coun' try is so broken by a maze of box canyons that spread out for sixt, miles to the north of the Grand

Judge Lanois in the United States district court of Illinois Saturday, imposed a fine upon the Standard Oil Company of Indiana, of S2o,24 900, the maximum amount upon each one of the I,462 counts of the indictment on which that company was recently convicted of rebating. The judge recommended that call be issued for a special grand jury to con slider the other party to the re- batting operations ol which the Standard Oil company was found guilty, and it is therefore probable that within a short time, proceed ings will be commenced against the Chicago & Alton Railroad Company for an alleged commis- sion of similar offenses.

The Pennsylyania RaiIroa

The Pennsylvania Railro q d Company is sending out to the men who furnish railroad ties this warning: Husband your timber. Saw your ties. Don't hew." It is explained that by hewing from a stick of timber sixteen feet long and fifteen inches wide only two ties can be made. By saving the stick four ties can be made and fifty-seven feet of marketable lum- Der had. It was not so long ago that such warning would have been considered useless. It is now necessary.

is, the return of superintendent George

Arrangements are being made by the
colored citizens committee to have all
the colored churches in the District of
Columbia to petition Congress to have
the colored schools separated from the
W Whites, with their own colored superin-

people are aroused and it is evident
that Congress will accede to the wishes
of the colored people. The colored
schools are in 4 terrible condition, and

NEWS OF ALEXANDRIA.

Alexandria, October 2I. The cases
pending against Joseph Thomas, alias
John Wright, in the Circuit Court of
Alexandria, one for the murder of
Jackson Boney, one for criminal assault
on Annie Green, and one for assault
with intent to kill upon Forest Gooding,
were all nolle pressed and dismissed
from the docket yesterday, and the cur
tain rung down upon the scene of one
of ale most remarkable criminal cases
in the history of the old Commonwealth.
Crandal Mackey attorney for the
prosecution, stated to the court that as
Governor Swanson had seen fit to COM
mute the sentence of death in the Risley
case to life imprisonment and as the
Commonwealth had only one witness in
the other cases pending, and did not
know whether she would come to court
or not, he had decided to ask for a
nolle prosequi.
Thereupon James E Clements, the
attorney who has so valiantly defended
Wright, stated to the court that he had
come prepared to try these cases, and
that in his judgment there was not d
scintilla Of evidence to convict the pris-
| oner; that he was innocent of the pend
ing charges, as he was of the charge
upon which he stands convicted; that the
! Rislev case heretofore tried was twice
{ before the Supreme Court of Appeals oi
! Virginia, and twice did two of the
ablest Judges of that tribunal, in strong
and carefully considered opinions, de-
clare that the evidence disclosed by thC
/ record was not sufficient to justify
| Wright's conviction, and these opinion:
alone were sufficient to influence the gov.
ernor in granting a Communication, and il
the eyes Of all impartial citizens hi:
conduct in doing so was worthy Of com
mendation rather than censure
The three additional cases against th'
prisoner, which were dismissed to-day
comprised the charges Of murder as
sault, and assault with intent to kill
! Thomas was indicted for killing a Ne
! gro named Jackson Boney for assault
ing Annie Green, coiored, and for at
tempting to kill Forrest Gooding. Th'
prisoner, who has been in the county
