RThe hotel car that is designed to
accompany the first through train from
San Francisco to the East has been com.
pleted at the Central Pacific shops. 1t
is thus described by a California ex.
change:
1T is divided into large number of
compartments-one lined with zinc for
meat, several for groceries, vegetables,
DC. ; one with a wire door for live fowls,
large tanks for fresh water, all arranged
as neatly and compactly as can we'll be
imagined. At one end of the car there
are several berths for the accommoda-
ton of the train hands. The car is
strongly built, and having both rubber
and steel springs, is, probably, one of the
easiest riding in the State "
That's the only plan by which passen-
gers can get through for six months OF
the year. Showed up and starvation are
unhealthy. aS -n ~a.a EE

,our former advice that every farmer

From the Joliet Wl.) Signal
A RObber Found Concealed In a
Peddler's Pack, and Killed
without Delay.

vuAtAOuk DOAays
A short time since, just at dusk, a
peddler carrying large pack appeared
at the door of wealthy farmer in the
town of Green Garden, in this county,
and requested the privilege of remaining
over night. The farmer being away
from home, he was informed by the
hired man that he could not stay. He
then requested the privilege of leaving
his pack until morning, as he was very
tired and could not carry it any further
that night. This was granted and the
pack deposited in one corner of the sit
ting room. During the evening some OF
the females of the household had ocea.
sion to move it; and taking hold of it
discovered that there was something sus.
picious about the contents.
The hired man was called, and upon
taking hold of it, found that it contained
a man. He quickly stepped into an adj
joining room, and returning with re-
volver, motioned the family to stand
aside, and at once proceeded to fire thret
shots into it. A piercing shrek issued
from it, and on ripping off the outside
covering man with large bowie-knift
and revolver clinched in his hands wa:
found weltering In his blood. Two O.
the shots had proved fatal The neigh
bors were alarmed, but no traces of The
peddler who left the precious pack coult
be found. Thus, by mere incident
doubtless shocking case Of robbery
and perhaps murder, was prevented. 1
was doubtless plot to rob The farmer, "a.
it was known that he had large sum O
money in the house. An inquest wa
held over the body on the following NOR
nirg, and the verdict was that the killing
was justifable homicide No clue lead
ing to the discovery of the name of th,
victim or his accomplice, has as yet beel
ascertasned. Such summary justice i
