A LOOK AT THE RAILROAD.
From the Sacramen te Union.


The western end of the Pacific Rail,oas
is now in good running order from Sacra.
mento to Winnemucca, on the extreme
northern curve of the Humboldt river. a
distance of three hundred and twenty-four
miles. At this point the regular mails, ex-
press matter, and passengers by stage from
Silver City and other southerly towns in
Idaho are received and placed upon the cars
for California and western Nevada. The
whole time consumed in the passage from
Sacramento to Winnemucca, according to
existing arrangements is twenty-four hours
and fifty Misunderstanding Sacramento at
e. A. NJ, and reaching Winnemucca at 800
A. n. next day. The trip from Winnemucca
westward is made in twenty-one and a half
housekeeping Winnemucca at 81 P. ". and
reaching Sacramento at l P. N. next day.
The present rate of speed is not high.
averaging-running time-between seven
teen and eighteen miles per hour. This
average can easily be improved upon after
the road is completed and the distractions
and impediments now caused by cOnstruc
ton trains shall have been removed. Over
the mountains an average rate of speed
much above fifteen miles per hour can never
be INDUCED without danger but from the
town of Wadsworth, where the train leaves
the rough ground and launches out upon
the desert to the head of the Humboldt, a
distance of more than three hundred miles,
the route is level, without sharp curves or
dangerous places, and there is no reason
why the highest rate of speed averaged by
the very best railways in the United States
may not be attained. For this distance Of
three hundred miles it is not extravagant to
reckon upon thirty miles an hour as the reg
ular rate of speed after the road shall have
been finished !; and this jus.ifcs hope that
the whole trip from Salt Lake to Sacramento
may be made in the average time of, say
from twenty-three to twenty-five miles an
hour. This does not take into account any
of those rtquent delays caused by Winter
SHOWS in the Sierra Nevada, but relates
only to the season of fair weather and clear
track between the months OF June and De
cember.
Atpresent there three principal distributing
points east of the mountains for passengers,
mails and freights-Reno, which is the rail
way port for Virginia City and other towns
in Western Nevada Wadswor,h, from which
Austin is supplied, and Winnemuca, which
is the port of the towns in Southern Idaho.
Reno is ISL miles from Sacramento Wads-
worth is 3D. miles east Of Reno, at the wes-
tern edge of the great desert region ard
is l35 miles northeast of Wads- !
worth, in the heart OF the Humboldt river

Perhaps our people are not aware ia
what extent the local interests of our
State have been advantsged BY the in
luencs, and diligence Of Senator
Stewart. Too little has been said OF
the much that be has accomplished.
We are at this writing informed BY q
member of our State Board Of Regents,
of bis labors in behalf of our school in
terests-labors, which we think, entitle
him to consideration at the hands of
every friend Of education in the State.
During his first year of service, he
with bis colleagues, secured legislation,
BY which proceeds arising from the sale
of more than soc, 900 acres ofland, were
made available to our Common School
Fund. During the past year further
legislation in this Interest has been
specially looked after by him. A bill
granting the privilege Of selection, and
sale Of lands, within what are known
~ railroad limits" was introduced
and carried through BY him. Cores
pondents oflhis 9oard residents At the
Capital, say great credit 10 due Soma
tor Stewart, for the interest he miuifests
in this matter"
Last Spring, the Regents commission
Cd one of their number while East, to
visit Warrington, for the purpose Of
securing for the benefit Of eur School
Fund, q valuable tract Of ,imbered land J
situated on the Truekee, known - the
" Upper o. 8. Lumber Reserve" At
Chicago he ehsnced to meet Senator
who heartily espoused the
project, and undertook to see il carried
and before the agent reached
Carson on return, the telegraph brougb.
the intelligence that the thing Was &C
The prouptness and Ell
cheney of the Senator, in any matter of
LEGAL interest to this State is beyond
all praise. By this act alone, he has
secured to us = heritage for our children,
perhaps thirty thousand dollars. And
to him We are largely indebted for the
fact that we have now in our School
Fund, invested and on special deposit,
more than $40, 900.
In little time we may reasonably ex-
pect that the rates of county taxation,
for school purposes will be materially
and at the same time the
amount of taxable property largely in
creased, and for this we shall be under
lasting obligations to that faithful ser
want of the people, VIM. NJ. Stewart,
whose name should to-day grace the
ballot Of every parent, and of every tax
payer in Ormsby county.
This is the reason why every Union
nan should sustain bis party's nomi-
ices for the Legislative ticket.

The LAST OF AN OLD CHARLESTON SHIP.-The
following para phi, which we clip from q
Northern Journal, gives us the information
that the old sloop-of-war John Adams, after
passing through service Of near seventy
years, has finally ended as all things earthly
will. The point Of interest to our readers is
the fact that the John Adams was the only ves-
sci of war OF 80 large capacity ever built at
this port. If we have been correctly informed
she was constructed at what was known as the
Old ship-yard, three miles above the city, on
Cooper River, in 1899, the work being superin-
tended by MIR. Paul Pritchard, Sr., and Mr..
James Marsh, the father Of our present fellow
citizen. By her long service and durability
she has given an evidence of the faithful work
which was placed on her. The following is the
extract: ''The finishing strokes in breaking
up the old sloop-of-war John Adams are taking
place on the marine railway in Fairhaven,
Mass She was purchased from the govern
ment for $4,000, and it has cost $4,000 to tear
her TO pieces, but her present owners will get
enough old copper and iron from her, with
many good pieces Of live oak timber, to give
them profit Her keel is as good to-day as
when she was built. fifty years ago or more.
Some of the copper bolts passing through her
stern dead-wood were over ten feet long"

THE ILLUMINATION AT THE CHARLESTON
HorEL.-Since Major Horbach, the present
popular proprietor and superintendent Of TIE
Charleston Hotel, has taken charge, he has de-
vised number of improvements that tend to
increase the comfort of his numerous guests.
The latest of these was exhibited last night for
the fiIst time, when the Major had the entire
front of the hotel illuminated, while the fine
oand of the 9Th Infantry stationed on the
upper piazza, discoursed their most pleasing
strains. The effect produced was all that
could be desired, for the long corridors
we're not only made as bright as day,
but the whole street in front of the hotel
was brightly illumined As was expect
ed, the combination of the music and the
lights proved powerful attraction, and q
large crowd was in attendance both at the ho-
tel and on the opposite side of the street, where
soma American citizens of African descent
kept time to the music in the mazy dance.
Major Horbach has succeeded in making the
Charleston Hotel what it was in its palmiest
DAYS; but he is not satisfied, and meditates
other improvements that will make itone Of
the finest and most popular caravansaries in the
South. Six double branch gas jets have been
placed in each piazza, while the main entrance
is ornamented with Gneat and tasty chandelier.
The fixtures were furnished by Messrs. Brown
& Hyer, of Broad-street, aud reflect great
credit upon their skill as worlmen. There are
few buildings in the South that have moro
imposing front, or where entire architectural
design is more perfect than the Charleston
Hotel. This was seen at glance in the daytime,
but the recent addition Of these gas jets has
rendered it equally attractive by night.
With the theatre in successful operation,
and with popular hotels like the Charleston,
that invite the presence Of guests, there is
little doubt that the coming spring trade oil
our city, If not equal to that of the past, will
yet be brisk and cheering.

Dusr.-Yesterday was generally voted as the
most windy and dsagreeable day OF this year.
Clouds OF dust that blinded the eyes and filed
the nose and mouth we're swept through the
streets, and every object became Of the earth
earthly. Crinoline was treated in most disre-
nectrul manner, and the fair owner finding
that they were unable TO cope with the adver-
sary. wisely fed from the wrath TO come.
Road and Meeting streets became miniature
sohoras The numerous tube wells that have
been sunk along the former street were no'
made available, and the visitors to our Klaito
were compelled to grin and bear the dusty
nuisance. towards night the clouds that OBJ
scured the sky gave some promise of relief but
the dust was in the ascendant, and the clerk
of the weather evidently Indifferent to the pub
lie cry for relief.
