A horse belonging to the Chef Quick
meat market dropped into an old sew.
er excavation this morning. The re.
cent rains settled the soil over the
sewer which runs across North Fourth

horse thought the crossing would be
safe. The horse jumped the ditch,
excepting his hind parts, which sank
into the soft soil to such depth as
to make extraction impossible. II
took the combined efforts OF several
men to lift the horse from the hole.

Yuma Holds Suspect as "Times' Dynamiter Pending Orders From
 InS An6eIeS.
Los AneeleS.

Bisbee, Ariz., Oct. 7-(SpeciaD-A special to the Review from Yuma says:
 A. Allen, alias A. Hoffman, was ar rested here Tuesday night after making statement while drunk that he was implicated in the Times dyna- miting. His story was at first deemed by local officers to be bid for notor- iety but Sheriff Livingston wired Chief Galloway at Los Angeles and was told to send full description and particulars and he would then be notified whether to send the man to Los Angeles. He is being held ac- cordingly.
 Wednesday morning after a night in jail and being sober, Allen recanted his self-accusing statements. Today after a severe questioning by the sheriff he again reverted to his pre- vious story and made what purports to be a full confession, all of which the sheriff will not repeat, giving dates and localities and references that seem conclusive.
 Allen answers to the description of Bryson, one of the men connected with the launch Peerless and pur- chaser ot the dynamite at Giant He is about thirty years old, five feet, seven inches tall, sallow complexion, dark hair, weight about one hundred and fifty pounds, smooth shaven, rather slender, wears a dark suit of clothes, with a soft felt hat. He says he is a machinist by trade and worked in the Salt Lake shops until Thursday and that he left the city Saturday night after the Times disaster. His photograph has been sent to the Los Angeles police.

Hearst Following After Full Ticket.

New York. Oct. 5.-John J. Hopper, state chairman of the Independence League and William R Hearst were duly chosen to lead the ticket of that party today, as governor and lienten- ant governor. The convention then adjourned until Friday, to give time for discussion of Jthe rest of the ticket.
 The platform, after stating that it is the duty of the party to deal a crushing blow to Murphy's scheme of Tammanyizing in New ! ork state, declares for direct nominations in every elective office, for initiative referendum, and recall.and calls for a constitutional amendment, granting woman suffrage to New York.
 After the platform was adopted, Shearn introduced resolution that the convention decide whether to nominate straight ticket, or endorse the republican ticket.
 Rev. Ivan M. Jones, of Syracuse, begged the convention to help the up state people defeat the democratic ticket ard said the best way to do it was .o nominate a straight ticket.

grade issues are now obtainable at prices which show a remarkably ad- vantageous investment yield, in- dicates that the absorption from such sources will enlarge, with the result that the whole bond market will show definite improvement before long. The fact that no very heavy fotatious have been attempted within the last two months, has in a way relieved the congestion that the market showed in July when the reinvestment of the semi-annual dividends was expected to enlarge the inquiry. The situation at the moment is much more .satis- factory than it was then, and it seems reasonable to expect better inquiry from the investors in Europe, as we'll as here in the not distant future. After prolonged interval of depres- sion such as the security makets have reflected for several months past, any sign ot renewed public interest is al- most invariably felt first in the bond market before it appears as strengthening factor in the stock market, and this is as it should be.

Clear Convention.
(Liberal.)

The Arizona constitutional con- vention meets next Monday. There are ffty-six- members of the conven- tion and there are more than fifty constitutions already prepared. Ar engagements are being made to let each democratic member of the con yention put his constitution in big bag. A republican will be allowed to stir the bag up, and another republi- can will be allowed to pull one of the constitutions out, and it will be adopted by the convention. At first it was proposed to have the demo- cratic members play a tourna ament of games, freeze out, the winner to have his constitution adopted, but it was conceded that this would give the re- publicans no show in the game, and as the democrats wanted to avoid partisauship it was decided to adopt the drawing scheme described, so as to give the republicans hand in the selection of the constitution.

Woman Makes Rich Find at Dinner in
 New York.

New York.-While eating Blue Point oysters in the Hotel Breslin at dinner Mrs. Jennie Wolff of No. 529 North Ninth street, Reading, Pa, felt something in her mouth that she knew ought not to be there.
 When Mrs. Wolff removed the ob- ject and dropped it on her plate, she almost fell off her chair with aston -ishment for it proved to be a pearl almost the size of her little finger nail.
 It was displayed to the head waiter who showed it to the manager of the hotel, and he said it was worth about S200. After dinner Mrs. Wolff took her find to Broadway jeweler, who confirmed the hotel managers esti- mate ot it's worth.
 In addition to having a good luster the pearl is ideal in shape, and Mrs. Wolff announced that she will have it mounted for use as a hatpin.

Jewels Involved in LOrimer Bribs Case.

Chicago.-An effort of the prose cution in the Lorimer bribery investigation to impeach the testi- mony of Senator Joseph s. Clark of Vandalia, witness before the senatorial subcommittee, has been made through the introduction of a story that Clark had puchased quanti- ties of expensive jewelry after the adjournment of the legislature that elected Lorimer. In answer to direct questions whether he had made any purchases of jewelrv following the adjournment of the legislature, the witness said he had bought two small diamonds from Representative Allison, a fellow member of the legislature at cost of Sl05.
 Representative David H. Groves of Camp Point, furnished a sensation when be testified an attempt had been made to bribe him the night before Lorimer was elected. He declared Douglas Patterson, former member of the legislature, visited him in his room and attempted to influence him. He also testified that Representative Henry Tirrell told him that he had received S1 ,OO0 for his vote for Lori mer. State Senator John Frederick, a much sought witness, also testified, but declined to answer many questions oD the ground that his replies might iucriminate him.
