AN ADDRESS ON MILTON.

address Of DR.. S. M. Tucker, in cele-
bration of the birthday Of the poet
Milton.
The address was given without manu-
script or notes. The speaker PECAN Oy

New York. Aug. 27.-Under the in

more nntoward incidents are likely to
result from the early weeks excite

created by the ease with which the

was marketed and by the generally
better demand for high class bonds
In speculative circles A. more hopeful
view of market conditions seemed to
be taken Trading during the FIRST
hour was almost as large as for the
entire previous day. and such adverse
factors as the food damages in the
south and numerous unfavorable rail
road returns seemed to call for scant
attention For the month Of July

Prisoners "Dig Out"

Five prisoners escaped from the 4u- ma county jail at about five o'clock Sunday afternoon, by digging a hole through the adobe III in the corridor. where they are allowed to exercise in the daytime. The hole was small one so that only the smallest of the men could squeeze through it. One of these was the little Mexican, Fernandez: who committed the GandolfO hotel robbery. One was the man who robbed A. H.. Brown, another was in for rolling a drunk" |" and two others were United States prisoners, held for selling liquor to Indians. The latter two were cap tured soon after the break by Under Sheriff Riley in the brush near the river
 The break was made within twenty minutes of the usual time to put them in the tanks for the night, and just after they had eaten dinner. Owing to the hot weather and other conditions unfavorable for the fugitives, it is more probable that all of them will be re- captured soon.

Figures furnished by the Yuma Val ley Produce Growers association as to the melon crop marketed up to June b, covering four cars only show the following returns:
 The first was sold in New York ity, June l2th, and brought $2.28 for stand- ards, $L8l for pony. The second was sold in the same city the day following and went at s1 Sj and S1 B. June IA, Philadelphia paid for one car at the rate of $l5O and $l.0O, and on the 10th, Pittshurg took care of another car at $2 00 and &l.50.
 Since the date above mentioned prices have taken downward tendency, from an over supply of the markets.

He said among other things that no sane man, handling perishable product. would know that he could not successfully handle the product Of l0,- COO acres of cantaloupes with ,NO0 to ). .OOO-mile haul. He added: 'There is no comparison between the California and Colorado propositions.

Tried to StrangIe His Homes De-
 stroyer in Courtroom.

George Young, a cowboy who eloped from Globe with Mrs. Gus Johnson, came within an ace of being throttled to death by the woman's husband in the courtroom of Justice Hinson Thom- as Monday. when Young was being ar raigned. The cowboy and the woman sat side by side in front of Johnson, who was on the other side of the room. Young, apparently much amused by the situation of Johnson, leered and grin ned at him until Johnson leaped across the room, muttering "YOu skunk, I'll choke the life out of you" It took four officers to get Johnson back into his chair, after which he submitted to a search and remained quiet.
 Young roomed at the Johnson home. He is charged with the theft of SllOO which the woman placed in the bank for her husband, a rocking ciIair, four chairs, sewing machine and & box of bedding, worth about S100. The hear ing was set for July 10. Both prisoners were held in $l.OO0 bail.

The Roosevelt Dam.

From the Phoenix Republican it is learned that work on the Roosevelt dam is proceeding now very rapidly, about 200 men being employed. These men lay about 600 cubic yards of ma sorry per day at labor expense of Sl per yard. There are other attendant expenses of course, such as powder, de- prcciation of plant, tools, etc., but the contract price of S1.15 yard affords nice little profit just now. The contrac- tor is fully entitled to all he can make however, for lot of his masonry has cost him S1Oa yard and be is entitled to little easy sailing if lie expects to break anywhere near even. The dam is D feet high at the highest point, and is p feet high at the lowest point, in the upper face where four derricks are busy filling the gap.
