There was a where. didn't last leak some Most of our visitors will remain to witness the ball and races this after noon. The unusual sight of two traveling monte banks attracted large crowds and drew lots of cash. A huge quarter of beef lugged Al len English around and attracted con siderable attention. The dance was a magnificent affair and every one will remember it with pleasure. Schieffelin Hall was crowded. Base ball score, 16 to 3 in favor of our boys. Our visitors will probably do better this afternoon. The city was thronged with visitors and the streets presented an appear ance of ten years ago. The examination of Luis Corona, for the murder of Tom Hannon, was postponed until the 16th instant. Scott White has been appointed ad ministrator of the estate of Tom Hannon. The Colonel froze on to a leg of mut ton and was happy, despite sundry re marks. J. Murray Bailey, who has been in Tombstone several days on mining busi ness, will leaue to-morrow. The grand stand was entirely inade quate to the demands and hundreds of people had to stand up. The P. 0. S. of A. committee was busy all day and overlooked every thing, Mr. Carper ter and Mr. Grow being the leading spirits. The P. O. S. of A. distributed several hundred copies of their official paper yes terday. It was printed in red, white and blue and was a neat souvenir. We regret that we are unable to jeub lish the official and tabulated scores of the ball game. The scorer could not get them arranged in time. J. H. Carpenter will leave to-morrow on a trip of ten days or two weeks in connection with the customs ser vice. The first thunder shower of the sea son visited the Dragoons Wednesday and left a very welcome supply of the needful. The Barbecue ahthat was what caught everybody. The meat was cooked to a turn under the direction of Charley Tribolet. Weather forecast for Tombstone and vicinity for the succeeding twenty-four hours: Easterly wind and short, heavy showers. m Everybody on the grand stand had fne conviction forced upon them that it was raining and some of them dis covered that the rain was quite wet. The rain caused more hosiery to be exhibited than the combined stores in the city can display. The exhibition -caused much admiration. Rev. L. D. Mansfield, rector of St. Paul's, has returned from Bisbee, wfceie he held services on Sunday and preached to a large congregation He will offici ate at St. Paul's, this city, to morrow ... Mr. Montgomery, of the Sterling Silver Mining Company, has been in the city some, time on business of the company. He will remain several weeks yet. An accident occurred in the Copper Queen mine during the week by which a miner nearly lost his life. He fell forty feet down a chute. His con dition is precarious. The latest edition of the School Laws of Arizona Territory is in the hands of -Superintendent Cheyney and ready for distribution. One im portant change was made in relation i9 corporal punishment.

Or if a few of our embryo politicians would use some of the enormous re serve force of genius stowed away in their anatomy they might construct an aerial route. They have an amonnt of wind sufficient to make a good starter, anyhow. Appearances last Wednesday even ing looked as if the city was to be partly destroyed by a cyclone and those who escaped were to be drowned. An onlmous looking cloud came from the east but the result was only a small wind storm and no rain. How ever, a heavy shower visited Antelope Springs and the Dragoon. About 36,817 men, boys, and other portions of our population inspected the preparations for the barbecue dur ing the week, and no two of them wanted it done exactly alike. Several of the committee are threatened with brain fever in consequence, and some of the workmen are ready to investi gate the joys of another land that is fairer than this. The Sterling Silver Company is pre pared to work all the custom ore ob tainable. Prospectors and chloriders, as well as mining companies will find it to their interest to investigate, if nothing else. THE CELEBRATION. The Fourth Fittingly 0b served in Tombstone. Fine Day and Large'Attendance From Tucson, Phenix and Surrounding Towns. The celebration of the Fourth of July yesterday was an event that will be remembered in Tombstone for many days, and will be looked back to by all who participated with feelings of pleasure. From the first inception of the idea it was taken up with an enthusiasm that dissipated all thoughts of failure, the committees appointed to make the arrangements being cheer fully seconded by our citizens at large. The celebration really began on the evening of the 3d on the arrival of the delegations from Tucson and Phenix. A dispatch was received from Tucson during the afternoon that fifty people were coming from that town, and a dispatch was received from Phenix that a delegation would be present from tliat town, spurring committee to renewed efforts to procure lodgings for the largo number of expected pected visitors, which was done, and they were all accommodated. A large crowd of people were at the stage office, and as the stages came in, all loaded down, they were received with cheers, and the scene was jolly and hilarious. The day opened bright and clear, and our citizens and visitors were early afoot in holiday attire, enjoying themselves and viewing the decora tions. All the business places and many private residences were beauti fully decorated, and our visitors found it difficult to believe that the old mining camp was not the liveliest and best town in the territory. The first event of the day was the game of baseball between two juvenile nines the Pioneers and a picked nine which was closely contested and ex cited considerable interest. At 1 o'clock time was called for the game of ball between the Tucson and Tomb stone clubs. No one could doubt the general interest felt in this game, as evidenced by the large attendance of ladies and gentlemen, the seating ac commodations being entirely inade quate, and the crowd encroaching on the field in such a manner as to at times interfere with the play. The Tucsons were first at the bat, and made one run in the first inning. The Tombstones followed and made five runs. At the beginning of the second inning the game was inter cepted by a heavy thunder shower, which lasted about fiften minutes and scattered the crowd. But after the shower passed away the people came back, and the cooling off of the atmos phere rendered the balance of the game all the more enjoyable. The visitors played a good game and did their best to win, but the Tombstones won by a score of 16 to 3. After the ball game the audience adjourned to Allen street to witness the foot races. Bob Hennessy won the 100 and 150-yard races, Mr. Hill, of St. Davids, being second in both. Andy Garrett won the race for boys from 14 to 21 years old. The two Wixtrom boys won the three-legged race. ' Rollo Graaf won the race for boys 14 and under. Fred Trevilliaan's burro won the burro race. A boy by the name of Walters won the sack "race. There was a misunderstanding about the hose race. Protections ran over the course and laid claim to the" trumpet, but the matter will be set tled at some future time. After the races a large number adjourned to the barbecue, where am ple provisions had been made for a large number. Owing to the neces sities of the case, the outside appear ance of the meat was not very invit ing, and many ladies declined to par take of the "nasty black stuff," but those who were experienced "sailed in" and enjoyed a good meal. Not withstanding the large crowd, there was plenty, and a quantity of beef and bread was left over. At sundown a salute of 42 guns was fired, which was followed by a brilliant display of fireworks, which terminated about half-past nine. Following the fireworks came the ball of Engine Company No. 1. Schieffelin Hall had been beautifully decorated, there was a large attend ance, the management was perfect, and everyone who was present fully enjoyed themselves. Taken all together, the celebration was the most successful and enjoyable that has taken place in Tombstone in many years. The several committees having the celebration in hand are deserving of thanks for their admira ble management. Where all did so well it is difficult tabestow especial praise, but it is only fair to state that the success of the celebration w&s largely due to the efforts or Washington Camp No. 1, P, 0. S. of A., who furnished the bar becue and fireworks at their own ex pense. The idea in thus doing was to give such a celebration of the day as to impress it on the children, and in still into their minds the seeds of patriotism and love of country. This evening a reception will be given to the Tucson people and in vited guests at Turn Verein Hall The reception will commence at 7 :30 and will consist of skating for abou two hours, followed by dancing. To-morrow evening the Tucson peo ple will be the guests of Protection Hose Co. No. 3. There will be a game of ball between the Tucson and Tombstone clubs to morrow. Important to Butchers. The stock laws of this Territory re quire that butchers shall anually file a bond in the sum of $10,000, as a guar antee that they shall keep exposed and open for inspection, for five days, the hide of every animal slaughtered,jits brands and marks, from whom pur chased, etc. A copy of this record is also required to be made each month, and filed with the county recorder. A penalty for the violation of any of these provisions of the law is fixed at a fine of not less than $50 or more than $100 for every day of failure to comply with the law. There is only one butcher in the county who has been complying with the law in the matter of filing the record required. Whether it is occasioned through ignorance of the law, or simply from neglect, is not known. Journal-Miner. Another Sudden Death. James Scow came here from Dos Ca bezas on Sunday afternoon last, bringing the sad intelligence that August Fowler, brother of William Fowler, had died suddenly, presumably from heart disease, Sunday morning, Mr. Fowler had been ailing for sometime. Sunday morning he came to the house of his brother William, and stating that he was feeling badly, laid down on. a bed. William went to a neighbor's shortly after, and on returning home in about an hour found his brother dead. The deceased was a young man of excellent chaiacter, a Scotchman by birth, and had lived in this section for a good many years. All who knew him will read of his too esrly death with sadness. Willcox Stockman. Infernal Ingenuity. Could scarcely devise more excruciating tortures than those of which you see the evidences in thtrface of a rheumatic o neuralgic sufferer. The agonies are the consequence of not checking a rheum atic or neuralgic attack at the outset. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters has been found by skillful medical practitioners to possess noc only remedial, but de fensive efficacy, where those diseases exists, or a tendency to them is exhibited. Surely this puissant but safe botanic medicine, bearing, too, such high specific sanction, is better than the poisons often employed, but most unsafe, not only in continuance, but in isolated doses. The blood is depurated thoroughly from the rheumatic virus, and the nerves, slightly impurged upon, saved from ultimate and direful throes by this benign, saving medicine, which likewise exhibits marked efficacy for malaria, kidney complaints, dyspepsia, constipation and liver com plaint. Tombstone had the finest celebration of any place in the Territory, all owing to the P. O, S. of A. And she is proud of it, too. ' The morning and evening salute of forty-two guns was a success, to judge from the noise. If Gabriel's trumpet had.been around it would have got left. Max Goodman was arrested Wed nesday evening for carrying coucealed weapons and trying to use them on one of our citizens. His trial was set for Monday. The Comet mine, owned by the Grand Central company, is an ore producer again, about thirty tons a day being shipped. The grade of ore has increased considerablv. Salome Tapia was bound over to appear before the grand jury in $1,000 for his exercise with a pistol in Tur quois on St. John's day. The county jail has another occupant. The conduct of our people yester day was very good and there was noth ing to mar the enjoyment of visitors. No fights, no raising hades and no "jugs." The fireworks display given by the P. O. S. of A. was grand and the order received the thanks of all spectators. The illuminated mottoes were especial ly fine. J. H. Carpenter received a telegram this morning saying that Mr. Behan had turned over all the books and pa pers of the Territorial prison and stepped down and out. This winds up the holdovers. The decorations throughout the city yesterday were far in advance of any thing of the kind heretofore. Every body decoiated and only stopped when the supply of bunting and flags gave out. CITY WATER WORKS. Where the Water Went to and Why Every thing All Right Xow. Just at present the water question seems to be settled, and in a favorable manner to consumers. Last week the water became very short in an unac countable manner, and many con sumers were compelled to have Hua- chuca water turned on. The city officers were in despair, and complaints and appeals for water were bewildering in their number and urgency. Coun cilman Prindiville had often urged the council to sever all connections from the ice works, but the men in charge of the water works declared that all water had been turned off from the ice works some time previous, and it looked as if the water works would have to be closed down, although capable of furnishing 12,000 to 15,000 gallons every twenty-four hours. Mr. Prindiville was not oatisfied, however. and made a personal examination of the valves which were supposed to cut. off the supply from the ice works, and the mystery was solved. The valves were inoperative and open, and could not be closed, no matter which way tney were turnea. vvnen tne purnp3 it i 1 TT . to force water into the tank on the hill were running they were only capable of forcing water for the city by an enormous pressure over and above the capacity of the pipe leading to the Watervale company's mill. In other words, nearly all the water pumped ran into the tanks of the mill, and then into the Coffman well through an underground pipe. There was trouble in the air right away when Mr. Prindiville ordered the pipe cut, which was done. The next action was to cut all steam connections with the ice works, although the same plea was made that the steam was shut off. The pumps were then put to work and the city was supplied with water once more, the supply being equal to all necessary demands. The pumps are worked twice a day, and the men who now have charge are undoubtedly hon- est in their endeavors to furnish water to the city. The water consumers are to be congratulated that this vexed question is apparently settled. No one has been deprived of any rights which were justly possessed, and at present there seems to be sufficient water for both the city and ice works. In any event consumers can be as sured that all the water in the city well and in the two MacNeal wells will be pumped up on the hill for their use, and that none will go to waste. A Mistake. The propriety of abandoning Fort Thomas as a military post, we are in- iormeu, is questioned oy orncers tam- iliar with the necessity of its mainte nance for the purpose for which it was built. The situation, on the verge of the San Carlos reservation, where are congregated several thousand In dians, is an admirable location. The reason assigned for the removal of troops now occupying it, that it is un healthy, is not borne out by the offi cial report of deaths. The proposition now is to use it as a place for the instruction of Indian children. If unhealthy, it should be entirely abandoned. The water is pure and cool, and the alleged mias matic influence arising from the waters of the Gila, if true, applies with equal force to the San Carlos Agency, also located on the margin of that stream, and to where a part of the garrison stationed at Fort Thomas id to be removed. Had the Secretary of War had a personal knowledge of Fort Thomas and its surroundings, we credit him with too much sense to have issued the order withdrawing the troops, thus giving the Indians free, access to the Graham mountains and San Simon valley and affording them the opportunity of murdering settlers on their way to Sonora. Globe Silver Belt. J. A. Bl.-ick, Commissioner of Immi gration, paid the Epitaph a pleasant visit. Mr. Black, having full possession of his office, is visiting the various por tions of the Territory, gathering data for forthcoming publications setting forth the resources and inducements held out by Arizona to immigrants. The Rev. L. D. Mansfield will offici ate at St. Paul's church to-morrow at 11 a. m. and 7 :45 p. m. The Holy Communion will be celebrated after morning sermon. The theme in the evenine will be sueeested by our national holiday "The Love of Coun try." Seats free. All are cordially invited to attend, especially members of patriotic societies. Dunn & Forsec, the fruit shippers, are offering two cents per pound for first quslity grapes. This price will probably be maintained. At that rate, the 40-acre vineyard of Daniel Bagley, Mesa City, is estimated to have a $3,000 crop this year, or a yield of $75 per acre. This ought to be a fair income. Mr. Bagley's vines include Sweetwaters, Muscat?, Tokays, Zinfandels, Mission and other varieties. He can make wine and raisins or sell the vintage to. purchasers who will gather it themselves.

On the 15th of June, Mr. Morris be came afraid to remain with his family, and went to the store in the evening.

He would froth at the mouth and make an awful gurgling noise which could be heard nearly a quarter of a mile away. This he kept up until 2 o'clock, when he breathed his last. He was nearly surrounded by blood when the breath left him. His remains were taken to central Verde for burial. Deceased had lived in this valley nearly twenty years, and was known by nearly every stockman in Arizona. He leaves a widow with three children. His brother, John Morris, went in to see him just before he died. He recog- nized him for a moment and tried to speak nis name, wnicn only was uttered in a barking noise. 'Skunks are all over me,' were the last words of the dying man." Prescott Journal-Miner. Oddities in Life Discovered by Census. Enum erators. The census enumerator "catches onto" a great many oddities and incidents in human life that are not generally known even in the communities where the inci dents occur or the people to whom od dities are attached reside. But then the census man is a hard individual to reach and as impervious to the ingenuity of the interviewer as a politician who really does not want office. The reason of this is that the law enjoins upon him the strictest secrecy, especially with regard to statistics and forbids him divulging any information of a statistical nature. In a quiet, friendly talk with him however, one will glean from here and there stray notes of decided interest 1 nen the lot ot the average enumerator is a hard one and the great wonder is that more of them do not commit suicide than do. People swear at them, refuse to answer questions; declare them im pertinent and generally contribute to making their life unpleasant. In this country the enumerators say they find a great many Mexicans who do not know their own ages nor the birth place of their parents. These people, however, can tell the exact ages of their children without hesitation but are wholly ignorant as to their own ages. Enumerator Sykes found a Mexican wo man in this city whose age is 46 years and who is the mother of 26 living chil dren, all grown, and buried one that lived to be 14 years of age. The woman is small of statue, enjoys good health and has a happy, good natured disposi tion. He also found another woman who is the mother of 26 children and whose age is 48. The children are all living. Near Calabasas he found a Mexican wo man who had three children aged re spectively s:x, four and two years and the birthday of each is IUay 22. Enumerator Piper, of Greaterville dis trict, found a Mexican woman near lhat town who claimed to be 110 years of age. She is quite intelligent and seems to re tain all her natural faculties to a re markable degree. Of course they have trouble in some instances in ascertaining the exact age of people and some at first flitly refuse to give their ages. Trley-run up against this trouble mostly among unmarried ladies who, they say, manifest considera ble objection to stating their ages. No- gales Herald. Frank Brown, until recently the driver of the stage from Riverside to Reding ton, was brought to the county hospital last week suffering with screw-worms in his nose and throat. He had laid down under a tree after a protracted spree and while asleep the worms were deposited in his nostrils ana at once began their work of destiuc ion. They penetrated the roof of the mouth and literally filled his throat, causing infl immation and at times making him savagely insane. A great many worms were taken out by Dr. Adler, but others were far beyond his reach and on Monday night he died. He was about forty-one years of age and, so far as known, had no relatives in Ariiona. Florence Enterprise. A Relic of an Ancient Race. During the recent visit of Messrs Jesse R. Grant and Chas. J. Wimple to of Sonora, Mexico, on mining business, they were much struck with the iiaht if a terraced mountain. It is located about fifty miles southwest from Majrdalena. The mountain is circular in form, about a three quarters of a mile in diameter at the base, and is terraced from base t peak. The hight of the terrace is from ten to twelve feet in hight and in many places is built of solid masonery. A: many other places it is cut out of th.j solid rock. The roadway is from fifteen to twenty feet in width, starting at th base of the mountain and coiling itsel spirial like to the peak of the mountain which is not less than 1200 feet higher than the base of the mountain. The cost of the construction and cutting out of the solid rock their terraced road must have been enormous, and the re markable features of this wonder is ther state of its preservation, here and rhr- the masonery has yielded to the crumb ling influences of time, but this is an ex ception. Who did this work and what could. have been its purpose, is in a great meas- ure conjecture. Some may say it is the work of the Aztecs, others the Toltec or rock, and weishs an hundrpH mnc - more, it is placed at the mouth of what appears to be the entrance to this ter raced mountain. Here another query is suggested. Does this door to the moun tain open the way to mineral treasure, or to the shrine of ancient religious de votees? Aeain does the terraced roarl which coils its way to the peak of the mountain, lead to the shrine of the ancient vestal virgin who kept eternal watch on the sacred fire which was never suffered to die? One thing is certain, there is a wide field for those near at home, who wander far into Egypt and Persia, to study the mysteries of the hidden past. Star. Pioneer Establishment.

AlLEff WALKER, FUNERAL DIRECT!! If the amount of nitro powder, which is sold through the agencies in. this city, is to be taken as a criterion, it would be said that mining was car ried on quite extensively in Southern. Arizona, which is a fact. Mining was never so lively as now, and seems to be growing more and more every day. No doubt the Tucson smelter ha given copper mining a new impetus,, and .if that metal continues to ad vance in price it will be a great help to Tucson and neighborhood. Star.
