A Decided Surprise.

In the closing hours of the ses- sion of the district court last Satur- day, MT. J. T. Matthews, counsel for Ramon Duron, who had been convicted of robbery and sentenced to a term of five years in the terri torial penitentiary, and had been refused new trial, sprung a sur prise upon the court and the dis trict attorney which permitted amendment of his rejected motion for a new trial, and secured an order granting one. As the noon hour of Saturdays session ap- preached MT Matthews asked the indulgence of the court and stated that he had been informed that as the jury in the Duron case went into the jury room one of the jurors stated that he knew that the defendant was a shoplifter. Plainly if such were the case the juror had gone on the panel with his mind biased against the defendant, a condition which would have ex- cluded him from the jury; and his declaration may have influenced the minds of some of the jurors in such a way that the verdict may have been influenced in a way otherwise from what would have been the case had not the declara- ton been made in the hearing of one or more jurors. So in response to the motion subpenas were is- sued for some of those who had sat as jurors in the case to appear at a hearing at the afternoon session oi the court.
 In the afternoon the jurors sum- moned appeared, and MT. Mat. thews placed on the stand first Mir A. H. Saleeby, who testified that as the jury went into the jury room William Rosenberg, another juror said: That man is a shoplifter.' The witness admitted that the re- mark had influenced him to vote for conviction when had it nor been made he would have voted fol acquittal and hung the jury Other witnesses were examined but none of them had heard tht remark. Rosenberg was put upor the stand and admitted that h, made the remark to Saleeby.
 With those statements the Cour had nothing left but to grant th' motion to amend the motion for { new trial, and to grant the amend ed motion. Bail was fixed at $1, GOO, and on Tuesday of the presen week bond was given with Ramon Vasquez and Manuel Escalada a sureties, and Duron was released.

Words That Were Meant

It was remarked by many who heard the brief inaugural address of Gov. Sloan. that the words seemed to come from the heart, and thus was the ho Id he already had on the confidence of the people strengthened There was of course no definite outlining of policies for there is at present nothing to out line. His promis ise of fair and honest administration was sut1i- cient.
 The governors call upon the patriotism of Arizonans just at this time on the eve of statehood will doubtless be effec tive and will be met in proper time by the adoption of constitution for the new state that will command the respect of sister states and as the governor observed, will meet the expectations of the nation at large.-Phoenix Republican.

Truth in Brief

Anybody can soil the reputation of any individual, however pure and chaste, by uttering a suspicion that his enemies will believe and his friends never hear of. A puff of the idle wind can take a million of the seeds of the thistle and do the work of mischief which the husbandman must labor long to undo, the floating particles being too fine to be seen and too light to be stopped. Such are the seeds of islander, so easily sown, so difficult to be gathered up. and yet so per- nicious in their fruits. The slan- derer knows that many mind will catch up the plague and become poisoned by his insinuation with out seeking the antidote. No repu- tatlon can refute a sheer, nor any human skill prevent mischief.

AN AMERICAN MONORAIL

A few miles from New York they
 are just starting to build a little
 line which threatens to revolution ize railroading in this country, and
 to relegate to the scrap pile the
 two-track railroad, the pondero as
 coal eating locomotive and the big,
 heavy eight wheeled cars, as con-
 panions to the stage coach and
 the paddle.wheel steamboat. It is
 Americas first monorail road, and
 in few months time this pioneer of the novel single track system
 will be carrying passengers between
 Barlow station on the New Haven line and city island-a distance hitherto covered by ancient horse cars.
 The monorail cars. with their r-shaped ends, will be fifty feet long and six and half feet wide. and will run on four wheels placed under the car tapdem fashion, two on each end, each wheel having double fanges and being driven bs two Separate motors-eight motors n all. These wheels run on a single rail spiked to concrete ties. Above the car at each end is flexible arm connected with an Xshaped truck, each truck containing four guide wheels, which run in two L-shape overhead rails so arranged that tb e guide wheels cannot leave the r,,ils without taking something apart These guide rails. which arr, kent a uniform distance of 3Oinc;hes apart conduct the electricity leaving the single running raj. safe to animal and human life.
 u IS clalme1 that the American system O. overhead guide wheels anu fhe single rail beneath the car result in possibilities of high speed without oscillation and saving in power. It differs from the French and English systems, all of which require the use of guide rails be- meath the car in addition to the wheels, and also from the German system, in which the car rylng rail Is overhead, the car hang ing suspended underneath.-Tec nical World Magazine.

Fate of Old Friends

 An old inha bitant who had been absent from Danville for fourteen years returned on a visit and was inquiring after some of his friends.
 How is old Bill Jones?"
 "Poor old Bills dead. Yes; he drank himself to death. We buried him right over there."
 "Is that fact7 And how about George Jones?"
 "Old George went the same way. Drank himself to death a couple of years ago. We buried him right over there."
 "Well, we'll! Does old Bill Smith still talk politics?"
 "I hardly think SO. Old Bill died about year ago. He drank him self to death."
 "Guess you buried him right over there with the rest?"
 "No, we just poured him back in the barrel" l."-Ex.
