CENTRAL RAII.R0AD--FOur Millions
Supplemental Bill Passed the
Senate.

We notice that the House of Dele.
gates has before it a proposition to au.
thorize the Board of Public Works TO
subscribe ono million of dollars to the
Central Railroad-that is, as we suppose
to the portion Of the road between Stan.
ton and Covngton.
On saturday evening last, we rccei
we'd the following Telesraphic Dispatch
informing us that the Senate had pas.
scd the supplemental bill appropriating
four millions to the Covington anil Ohio
Railroad. We thank our friend Hall
of the Senate, and our friend Mitchell
of the Point, for this information. The
Senate, we are inclined to believe, have
done their duty towards this greatest OF
the State improvements. We shall wait
with great anxiety to learn the proysi.
ons Of the bill; if it looks to the com
plction of the road as fast as men and
money can make it, it will dispel the
cloud Of despair that has long settled
upon :he friends of improvement in this
section, and fill their hearts with Joy.
If it shall be defeated in the House ol
delegates, with that body will rest a
fearful responsibility, and with none of
the members so fearful as those that
have deserted their posts and returned
home.-Repub.
To Mr.. +. w. Newton:-I have jus,
received a dispatch from Senator Hall
saying the Covington and Ohio bill ap'
propriatins four millions, has passed
the Senate RoB'T MITcHELL.

SERIOUS MARINE DISASTER.
Burning Of the Steamer Milton,

The following private telegraphic dis.
patch which we received on Saturday
evening, gives the particulars Of a sad
marine disaster that occurred on the pre-.
vious night. Thanks to the prompt and
efficient cxeltions Of the officers Of tho
boat, we have no loss of human life to
record in addition to the calamitous de.
structon Of property.
WHEELING, March 12.
To the Editor Of the Cincinnati Sun.
The steamer Milton, Capt. John Da.
Wis, left Pittsburgh Thursday morning,
bound for Louisville. At nine o'clock
last night, while forty-nine miles below
this place, near Sistersville, FIRE was
discovered among the freight by tho side
Of ono of the boilers. Its origin is un.
known. All efforts to quench it were
unsuccessful, and the boat with all the
ladns and fixtures, was totally destroy.
ed. No lives we're lost. She had a We.
ry valuable cargo, consisting principal.
ly Of dry goods, and consigned to Louis.
Vile. Partially insured. She was own.
ed jointly by Capt. Davis, Alfred Moore
the pilot and party in Maysville.

in connection with tho point to be prov
cd here. We know that the dawn Of
creation of men was not a period OF
immature existence; but we do not know,
and cannot believe, that it was period
in which there existed extensive burying
grounds, where there lay henpel, beyond
number or conception, the seeming re-
mains Of dead that had never lived. II
is one thing to affirm that Adam sprung
into existence mature man--il would
be quite another and different thing,
10 affirm there came into existence, u
few hours previous 10 his creation
whole catacomb ofhuman mummics. II
is one thing to affirm that animals which
disportcd around him on the evening Of
the sixth day were fully grown; it would
be quito another and different thing to
affirm that This walk was awid skeletons
such as their own, apparently ancient
bat which at no periol had composed
the frame work Of bodies. We deny
that there lay the admirably formed time
piece in the wilderness, that had never
been intended TO keep time, but were de-
signed to be merely stones. The fact
would be contrary TO all that we know
of the character of the all wise creator;
and to those laws Of credibility which he
has promul gated for the guidance Of his
rational! creatures. We woull warn al
Of the dangers of arraying against pre-
sumed deductions OF religion, the law
which regulate and control human DC
lief. He who does SO, throws Difficult
ties and distractions in the way Of hi
fellow men, when God had left the pa,l
clear. The nGdelity Of France aroseno
out of the mys ,enes Of revelation, bu
out Of the monstrons absur.l.tes whicl
Popery had tackled to it, Thcst mel
who set at defiance the reason and com
mon sense of men, and the bans Of cred
ibility, unwitlingly foster the :kcpticisn
of a country. and unknowing!y but pow
erfully second its proselytising infdel
in their proper work. Cavils agoins
truth only resemble the loamng wave
| dashing against the deep rooted rocks
which hath for ages deded their fury
But though these can effect nothing NOR
they may beat off the poor shipwreckc
. mariner who was about to ascend it, il
, hopes of dcliverance from impendn
. destruction.

Trial Of DR.. Gardiner Before The U.
states Criminal Court.
March II


George A. Gardiner, indicted for false
swearing, in orlcr to obtain an award
from the late Mexican Board of Com.
mlssoners, was put upon his trial in the
United States Criminal Court yesterday.
The District Attorney, Fendall, and Hen.
ry May. of Baltimore, appeared on the
part of the State, and Joseph II. Brady,
James NJ. Earlish, Of this city, and r.
F. Ferry, of South Carolina, appeared
for the defence, There are three cases
docket.I, and the Court decided that
that Of Gen. A, Gardiner should be tax
en- up first.
The jury being cmpannellcd, Mr..
May opened the case. He first alluded
to its great importance, and said it was
the bolJest, largest, and most successful
case of fraul ever attempted against ouI
Government. That the dignity and re
spectablility Of the United States Go.
vcrnment were at stake in the issue. He
then stated what the prosecution expect.
cd TO prove. DR.. Gardiner, in his me.
mortal to the Board of Commissioners
stated that carly in the year 1914, he
was largely engaged in mining opera.
tions, in the State Of San Luis Potosi, in
Mexico; that he had in his employ 500
laborers, and had upwards of $500, 900
in men, buildings, steam engines, horses
and mules; that in 1916 he was COMPEL.
ed to abandon the establishment, his pro.
pcrty having been destroyed by Mexican
soldiers, that the said mines were worth
half a million Of dollars, and would
have yielded him $50, 900 per annum.
The accused also filed, with this me
mortal, dispositions purportins to be o
persons residing in Mexico, in slppor
Of his statement. The United States, or
the other hand, expect to prove that eve
ry statement made by Gardiner, as vel
as all the testimony and papers present.
ed by him, were false from beginning
to cnd-nothing but pure fiction. The
prosecution expect to show that the al.
legged loc ality Of the mines could not be
found by the Commissioners sent tc
Mexico for that purpose, although they
offered rewarl of $500; that the per
sons whose names were given as evi
ience Of GARDENERS title, could not bt
found in Mexico; that every one of the
dispositions were drawn up and fixed ur
in the city Of Washington.
That the title was manufactured here;
that Doctor Gardiner was poor dentist
and never could have worked such a
mine as he describes; that he was prac
ticing his profession in a small way on
the Pacific coast, thousands Of miles dis
tant, and that the title seals and sigma
lures were all forged.
