Flagstaff Shot Down.

0hoC bOWhs
When the flames broke out the Con-
federate batteries increased their ire,
and a perfect storm of shot and shell
came upon the fort. The flagstaff was
shot down, and for the first time the
old flag dropped to the ground. This
incident was interpreted by the Con
federates as a signal of distress. and
here again General Beauregard showed
that a soldier is not necessarily by
any means steeled against the finer
feelings of a man. AS soon as he
heard that Anderson's flag was no
longer flying he sent three of his
aids, W. Porcher Miles, Roger A.
Pryor and Captain Stephen d. Lee, to
see IL Anderson's people needed and
would receive assistance in subduing
flames which had broken out in the
barracks Of the fort. caused by redhot
shells which the enemy was firing on
purpose. it might be supposed, to start
a conhagration.
The Fort Sumter gunners, Of course.
had to slow up on their fire in order to
enable some of the men to turn from
fighting the Confederates to fighting
flames. Seeing this. the gunners in
the Confederate batteries cheered
when a lone gun was fred from Sum
ter. When the Confederate aids ap-
peared at the fort and announced to
Major Anderson the humane mission
upon which they had come Anderson
said, Present my compliments TO
General Beauregard and say that /
thank him for his kindness, but need
no aSsjste nee"
Meanwhile Colonel L T. WigfalI of
Beauregard's staff had entered Fort
Sumter and proposed In Beauregard's
name the terms offered on the 18th, as
above. Wigfall himself displayed a
white flag on his entrance to the fort,
and the guns on both sides ceased f3r-
ing. Anderson asked the three aids
then in his presence about Wigfalrs
mission and was told that he did not
represent Beauregard's wishes at that
moment Then Anderson said. IT will
at once run up my flag and open fire
again" Waving his hand to the Con
federates. Anderson added. Gentle
men. you can return TO your batteries
But at this time Major D. r. Jones.
Bea uregard's chief of staf. arrived. Of
fering substantially the terms talked
Of on the 18th Anderson promptly
agreed TO evacuate the fort the next
day ohe 14thl after saluting the Dag
flying at half must.

MESA
CITY ENGINEER WILL
 WORK FOR SANITATION
Alley That Has Long Been an Eyesore is Slated for Improvement With
 out Delay.

City Engineer M. R. Bowen was busy yesterday and will be today getting the grade of the alley in block F on south side of Main street and making an estimate of the amount of dirt it will take to place that thoroughfare in a sanitary condition. At present the all ley contains a mudhole or two that smells to high heaven and is blot on the fair name of the city. Up to the last meeting of the town council the alley was the business of the public generally and of course did not get proper attention. On account of some defect in the title the town authorities had left the improvement of that part Of the town to private individuals. It is only fair to say that the parties in terested did a great deal of work, but it was not done in concert; hence when part of the alleyway was in good con- dition, other parts showed neglect
 Now. it will be given a thorough over hauling and placed in such shape that a relapse to its present condition will be an impossibility. The work will be

TEMPE
BETTER PROGRESS
 IS PROMISED SOON
New Equipment for Tempe Bridge
 Work Is En Route.

From present indications it will only be a short time. a matter of a couple of weeks, until a little more rapid progress will be made on the Tempe bridge. According to Supt. Ryan. the new 60- horsepower gaso- line engine. which was recently pur- chased by the board of control, will be here in very few days As those who have been following the progress of the bridge closely know, the chief difficulty has been in han ding the water. There has been a lack of motive power and lack of pumps. To fit in with this new en- zine. a new 1O-inch pump has also been ordered. This was shipped sev- eraI days ago and is being followed with a tracer, so there is every req son to expect that it will be here very shortly With the new engine and pump. the water that thus far has been causing so much delay can be easily handled, shifts will be dou- bled and the remaining piers will be finished up in short order. To make possible still faster work, new or ange peel has also been ordered. An orange peel, it may be explained. IS a sort of scoop used to remove the sand and gravel from the cylinders as they are sunk. A small one has been in use. but the new one will be much larger. just about as large as the cylinder will be able to accommodate.
 With this additional equipment things should move faster at the bridge. and the faster they do move the better pleased will be the public and the men engaged in working on the bridge.
