Base Ball Game
 July Fourth

The Bisbee Miner says since the smoke and flame which Saturday morning covered the eastern portion of the city, known ss the Chihuahua Hill district, with ruins, the work of salvage and summing up the cost of the fire to the city has been in pros gress. From all appearances the first estimate of S2O0, ,O0O is not in the least tco high.
 The number of houses burned is said to be 76, while a number more were seriously damaged by fire, water and smoke, raising the total to nearly 100.
 The houses were in part owned by large property holders in Bisbee but the majority of the people living in them had but little left, beside their household goods, in many cases gath cred together after long years of toll. On these the blow fell with sudden ness and came as a calamity not to be lightly reckoned.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear There is only one way to cure deafness and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed con- dition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is infiamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when It is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be de- stroyed forever; nipe cases out of ten are caused by Catsfrh, which is noth- ing but an inflamed condition of the mucuous surfaces.
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by cstarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for cir culars free.

At subsequent meeting the startl ing resolution was discussed and the accusations against the sheriff and district attorneys office were found tu be without any foundation, in fact and a gross injustice to these officials The sentiment decidedly favors the sheriff and district attorney, neither of whom hsd been advised any trouble and could not have known of the kidnapping in time to have exercised their official powers to prevent the outrage.
 Warrants for all of the Douglas officers directly involved in the affair have been issued, and Antonio Maza Mexican consul, Constable Shropshire, Ranger Hayhurst and Policeman Thompson are each under 5000 bond

Tombstone A. C.
 Trounces Pearce
BY JOE MANNING.

In a game with the Tombstone Athletic Club at Pearce. yesterday, the Pearce team went down to defeat in c game that sbounded in the most sen- sa,ionsl fielding stunts, coupled with daring base running and terrific bat ting. The T. A: c. played like a ma chine. The fun started in the first, when when good base running on the part of Jones and Crsble was observed, the latter stealing home from Sd base, while the pitcher held the ball. It was the greatest steal recorded this year. Pesrce evened it up in the Sd, and with the score 4 to in the 4th the pace proved too fss. for Pearce, and from that until the 9th the To- calls ran rings around them.
 Crable, barring . little wildness, pitched a good game and his support was swell.
 Melgren caught the best game that has been played this year.
 Saunders on lst gave . great field. ing exhibition, pulling of some star plays. that set the crowd on fire.
 Reiss, Brown and CeSsulles played their usual good game, while in the outfield Jim Corbett starred in the 7th inning; he raced in for "hy" ofi of Heiges, but getting the ball at the shoe tops. and rolling over three ol four times. hut clinging to the ball the crowd of Tombstone "rooters' went wild over the catch.
 Everyone in the team made hits Melgren, Saurdsrs. Reiss, DeSsuiles and Jones getting three each in sht last half of the 9th.
 With the score standing r to 6 th' T. A. c. got over-conSdent and lei Pearce roll up five more rune, the final score being IT to II.
 Ed James umpired and gave I square deal to both, although Pssrct gave display of kicking" when, ir the 5sh, finding the pace too hot they began to kick, and at one time. after wrsugling among themselves, they walked of the field. The umpire drew his watch and gave them two minutes in winch to play. Manager Manning and Captain Reiss begged and pleaded for them to play, and al last succeeded in getting them back on the field
 The game showed one thing. and that is the remarkable improvement in the T. A. C's team work.
 Bisbee will be the next team here. and the "gulch" boys will get trim. ming, I'm thinking.

FOR RELAL7 OF SETTLERS.
Proposed Leave of Absence Without
Destroying Entry Rights.

In view of the fact that many homestead
settlers are said to be freezing in North
Dakota, and the rules of the Department
of the Interior provide in many cases that
residence of the settlers shall be contin-
uous, Senator Hansbrough has prepared a
resolution to relieve the situation. He pro-
poses that the settlers be permitted leave of
absence for three months. to extend over
the winter period. and that this absence
shall not interfere with their entry rights
The resolution follows:
THAT homestead settlers upon the public
domain in those sections where climatic
conditions and other causes of an unusual
nature result in personal hardship are here
by granted a leave of absence from their
land for a period of three months from the
date of the approval of this resolution. All
homesteaders seriously affected by such
conditions or causes shall make application
by affidavit setting forth the facts justify
ing leave of absence applied for, to the reg
lister and receiver of the land Office of the
district in which their land is situated, and
settlers granted such leave shall forfeit no
rights by reason of the absence allowed
hereunder, provided that the period of such
actual absence shall not be deducted from
the full time of residence required by law

WARSHIPS STILL STRANDED.
Naval Vessels That Were Driven
Achoro in

The navy and war authorities are bending
every effort to repair the damage done to
government property by the hurricane Of
last September which wrought SO much
havoc at Pensacola, Mobile and to the
lower river forts in the vicinity OF New Or
leans. Despite all efforts in that direction
the construction bureau of the navy so far
has been unable to raise the gunboat Ma
chias, which was battered and sunk at
Pensac cola. The big floating dry dock at
that place, which also was damaged, has
been raised and thus made 1t pos
sible to repair the tugs Accomac and
Waban. which received a terrific LASH
ing by the storm. The Gloucester and the
Vixen are still high and dry on the beach,
while the Isla de LuZon ore of the Spanish
prizes, was injured to such an extent as to
also put her out of commission. The de-
partment greatly regrets the loss OF the
Gloucester, as the vessel Is badly needed
for the naval militia.
According to the plans of the bureau of
construction all work at present will be
concentrated on the Machias in the hope
of saving her. Attention then will be given
to the Gloucester the Vixen and the Isla de
Luzon, in the order named.
The work of constructing arracks, etc.
at Fort St. Philip, near New Orleans. is to
go on without further delay. the War De-
partment relying on the generosity of Con-
gress 10 provide sufficient money to repair
the levees both at Fort ST. Philip and Fort
Jackson, on opposite sides of the river.
Perhaps the worst damaged army post
was Fort Morgan, near Noble which was
undermined. flooded and almost completely
wrecked. Orders have been issued for an
officer of the quartermaster's department
TO proceed there at once and restore the
place in order that the artillery compa MES
may again take up their station. II is eX-
pected that the work will be completed
within the next three months.
