Professional Walks Crowded.

When the selection of division slperin-
tendents of schools was had here this
week some very interesting things de-
veloped. There several young law
yers-men who had been at the bar from
three To seven years-Who were seeking
the places which pay not exceeding 500
to S1.2D year. When asked regarding
the time they could devote to the work
they said they We're prepared to give it
their undivided attention, even relinauish-
ing what practice they have at this time
and have bull; up since they We're ad-
mitted to the bar in order to get the
places OF superintendent of schools 1t IS
also true that there We're ministers who
We're applying for the places. but as a
matter of fact they do not get as much
pay as the lawyers in many instances.
The fact that the professions are so I'M
remunefatlVe was surprise to the mem
bers of the board and to the specta tors
who listened to the remarks of the appli
cants when they were asked regarding
devoting their entire time to the schools
and the work incident to the duties at
tendant.
The fact is that the state is oyercrowd-
ed with lawye.s and DOCTORS and un-
less a man has a connection with some
large concern or is taken under the wing
of some established firm he has hard
shedding for several Years after he en-
barkS on practice.
This week the state board of medical
examiners held a session here and faced
class of about Id applicants for per-
mits to practice in this state. There were
five women in the class. two of them col
ored. They had succeeded in making the
final examination in the colleges which
they attended. The examination is de-
clared by those who tried for license to
have been one of the hardest that they
have experienced, being much more diff
cult than any they had to stand at col
lege. Some few of the applicants got
glimpse of the papers and then retired
after the first day. The board is engaged
in bringing the standard of the profess
sion to higher degrees each year and to
admitting to practice only such men as
are qualified and who will be credit to
the profession. And each year. too. the
number of new practitioners is reduced
from the preceding year.

Road surrenders Old Charter.

At last the charter of the Richmond,
Fredericksburg and Potomac railroad.
issued in 1891, has been surrendered to
the state, and the road is hereafter to be
operated other common carriers and
will be subject to the rights. privileges
and regulations which have governed
other roads. Under the old charter the
road was not allowed to earn more than
I'D per cent any one year, and If it did
so the rates and charges We're to be re-
duced. The road was exempt from all
taxation under the old charter. and the
only way whereby the state could get to
tax the road was when the charter was
amended and the location of the tracks
| changed. The state of Virginia owns sew
eral shares of stock in the rOad-perhaps
| by far the largest stakeholder. The divi-
dends used to defray public Expenses.
When the charter was amended there was
| a fight between the state and the rail-
road as to whether the new charter
| abridged the tax exemption, the road
| holding that such was not the case, and
| the state contending otherwise. Suits
| were brought and finally got to the Su-
| preme Court of the United States. but it
has never been decided, and In view of
| the settlement of the dispute by agree
| ment and compromise, that case will be
| abandoned, the road i'm future to pay all
| taxes
| The state corporation commission has
issued an order directing that the Nir-
| gilman railroad, the road built by Henry
| ii. Rogers, must provide station faclll-
| ties along it's line in communities where
/ the business and public demands require.
! The people of Melrose, Campbell county.
petitioned for a station for freight and
| passenger accommodations. but the road
resisted and opposed the step in every
| way.
| The matter got to the commission for a
| hearing, lawyers appearing for the petit
| TONERS and for the railroad. Witnesses
| were heard and the commission, without
| leaving the bench, ordered that plans for
| proper station facilities should be filed
| by the road within twenty days, when a
further order directing the work to begin
! will be issued by the Commission. Melrose
| is in a prosperous section. and much
business goes to the road from that
| point

participation in a Fourth of July
celebration.
Once more the Democrat: an
speaking of the celebration as a
whole and of its magnificent sue
cess, Malcolm Fraser said: We
have first to thank the newspapers
OF the State of Arizona for the
wonderful manner in which they
have supported the idea of keeping
Arizona's money at home by send
ing tito different parts of the State
at proper seasons. They have given
the City of Prescott big publicity be-
fore the start of the celebration.
'Seventy-five per cent of the thanks
of the people OF Prescott eliminating
from consideration the wonderful
support of the newspapers, go to
the producing manager of the Selig
Polyscope Company, VIM. Duncan
and his talented and obliging COM
pany.'"

GRASPS LIVE WIRE;
IS FATALLY BURNED
From Wednesdays Daily.)

G. G. Henderson was frightfully,
and fatally burned at Walker yester-
day morning at about J o'clock, when
his body came in contact with a live
wire of the line of the Arizona Power
Company. He was brought to Mercy
hospital in this city but in spite OF
medical aid, death relieved his suffer
ings yesterday afternoon at about
$50 o'clock.
Mr.. Henderson, it is stated, was re-
moving an iron bedstead from the
loft of the tower OF the sub-station,
and believing that the line was dead,
grasped one of the wires with his
right hand, when the contact with
the iron bedstead was instantly es-
tablished. There was a terrific ex-
plosion and his body was seen to
be in a blaze from the flash that
followed. His entire head is hor-
ribly burned, exposing the skull
bones, and his features are not
recognizable. The flash enveloped
the rest of his body and passed out
through the right breast and back,
down the right leg and to the right
foot, burning to a depth of several
inches, decorating the flesh and ex-
posing the bones at several places.
The left side of the body was but
slightly injured. His condition was
pitiable, but through the torture of
his wounds, he retained consciousness
until the final summons came
Mr.. Henderson was one of the best
known residents of the county, and
for over thirty years had resided
at Walker. He recently opened up
a restaurant and lodging house bust
ness. Sorrow is expressed by all
over the sad fate that has over
taken him after so many years of
useful life.
sNo arrangements have been made
for the funeral. The remains are
at Ruffner's mortuary parlor.

MATRIMONY IS AGAIN
BECOMING FASHIONABLE

NEW YORK, July 10-Marriage
is again becoming fashionable in
that part of society that is referred
to with a capital S. That, at least,
is the conclusion drawn from an
examination of statistics furnished
by the blue book of the fashionably
elect This shows that during the
past year the number OF weddings
among people of social prominence
have increased about twenty per
cent while the number al births has
advanced in about the same ratio.
If this tendency continues the time
may come within a few seasons
when social leaders will not be
ashamed to be seen driving on
Fifth avenue accompanied by their
children instead Of by various kinds
OF fuzzy dogs and when the pos
session of a large family will not
be bar to membership in the Four
Hundred. In this matter as in other
less sensible ways the people out
side the charmed circle apparently
are showing themselves initiative of
those within it for the number OF
marriage licenses issued in New
York during June eclipsed all pre-
viouS records.

DOMESTIC WOES
SOON CLOUDED HORIZON
(From Wednesday, Daliy)

In sensational complaint docket
ed yesterday in the Superior Court,
Mrs. Augusta Simpson asks that the
bonds of matrimony be Severed with
her husband, Alonzo Simpson, and
that the plaintiff have her former
name of Augusta Prince restored.
The defendant will be more ia
miliarly known by his sporting
sobriquet of Frank Grabb, and at
present is a resident of Flagstaff
Mrs. Simpsons story of domestic
troubles is pathetic. She alleges
that from the beginning to the end
of the whirlwind hymeneal event
there was trouble going on all the
time, but after six weeks of
cyclonic explosion at regular inter
walls daily, the matrimonial spark
flickered, and the home became dark
when the erring husband failed to
show up, as it were
In setting the stage for the drama
to be enacted in the judicial atmos-
phere hereafter, the plaintiff shifts
the scenes with many pathetic color
ings OF the fierce family movies
There is the question of too much
booze alleged to have been absorbed
by the horrid man, personal abuse
of the kind-hearted and indulgent
wife has been one of the sad results
OF the unhappy union. obscene
language has shattered the environ
ment of the home, and last but not
least, Mr.. Grabb requested that his
wife deed to him all her possessions !
in the city, which she fatty and
refused to do. He then
left the premises, and up to date has
failed to materialize.
In reviewing her past experience
in this unhappy union. she states
that she is burdened with anguish
Of mind and has suffered great
during her married life
by the conduct OF her husband. The
name OF R. A. Talbot is affixed TO
the document on file as the attorney
for plaintiff, and the case will be
called for trial later.
