eight miles from Alton, Mrs. Lindborn
visited that city with q view to relieve
the dreadful suspense she had been
placed under by ascertaining positively
whether the deceased was or was not her
husband. Making application to Mr..
William Brudon, superintendent Of the
cemetery, at that place, for some infor
nation regarding the unidentified body
of man recently buried by direction of
the city coroner. she was given general
description OF the mans age and appear

Of the clothing worn by the deceased, all
Of which went far to confirm her worst
fears
The body was disinterred and fully
identified BY the distressed wife. Her
husband had in his possession $500 in
money when he left this city, but the
coroner Of Alton had not discovered any
money except a few pieces Of currency
and bill or two for current expenses.
When Mrs. Lindborn stated that her
husband carried bis money in a belt
worn upon his person, a more careful
Of the body vas made, the
belt found, and inside Of It $3.50 in
money.
The body was taken in charge hy &Fs

We were informed by Mr.. Herbert, the
Sheriff, that at this time there is not an empty
cell in the jail, which fact, in our opinion,
renders some other buildings necessary for
the confinement of prisoners; il being highly
improper to crowd too many oil them iogether

ofen be tho case, the young and compara-
lively innocent prisoner, and the old, har-

WATERFRONT DISASTER ON THE
COLORADO DEsERT.

The correspondent of the Alta Californian
gives ths following account Of tho recent su.
gular disaster on the Colorado desert:
In the Colorado desert, on the sfternoon
of Sunday, the 10th ult., in what is here
known as q waterspout, Government train
was lost. The train consisted of eleven
wagons, was known az Chsndler's train,
and was accompanied by one company, and
detachment from another company of the
18th United States Infantry, under the com.
mand of lieutenant They had encamped
in the bed of and Just below the forks Of
deep and broad wash. The troops were
marching to Date Creek and Skull Valley,
in Arizona.
The camp was about nine miles east of
the Dos Palmos, at Canyon Springs. While
thus encamped, small black cloud sudden
ly appeared above the horizon, from which
| lightning and thunder proceeded. A suffl.
cient time hardly elapsed TO observe this
cloud, when II, or another one, teeming
with electricity, made its appearance in
almost the opposite direction. The whole
heavens were overcast, and amid the vivid
flashes of lightning and deafening peals of
thunder, n shower OF hail commenced fall
ing, which soon became a shower of fiat
pieces OF ice, from TWO to four inches square
The mules instantly fed before the peltlng
storm TO some neighborng hills, while the
g.
high banks OF the wash.
An employee, Californian, who came In
with au express from the command TO the
quartermasler at Wilmington, says he took
shelter in a wagon, and in IL few moments a
huge volume OF water, the face of which
was pretty nearly or quite three feet high,
came rushing down the wash. This was
soon followed by an additional one which
came pouring onward, aud which presented
front still higher above the waters OF the
first. The water rose Ia the wagon in which
he was until 1t nearly reached the top OF the
bows OF the covering, only few inches o
! air being left to him beneath the wagon
cover. Two men OF the 14th were drowneC
and the commanding officer was carried
. down the wash in lhe angry and boiling
:, food, and was only rescued from drowning
by an Indian vadquero, who, standing OF
q, the bank, saw the lieutenant completely OK
hausted from battling with the wild waters
amid the wreck OF the trees, and threw hi
J. RATA over his head aud drew him 10 tn
