At recent meeting OF the directors
Of the proposed New York under-
ground railway, one of the. Board, just
returned from EnrOpe, made an inter
esting statement relative TO the under
ground railroads in the city of Lon
don. There are at present about ten
miles of such roads in successful Ope-
ration, over which 1l0,O00 passengers
ride daily. Trains rifn every three
m nutes during the busy part of the
day, and so perfect are the signals
that not single accident from cOllis-
lion has yet occurred. These trains
run with great rapidity and but little
noise. The stations are about half a
mile apart. The engines consume
their own smoke and gas, and the ab-
sence of { dust makes slIbterranean
travel even pleasanter than lOcOmO-
ton on the surface. There is no per-
ceptible difference in the atmosphere
in the tunnel and that above il. GsEs
The old adage, +" MisfOrtunes never
come singly," was strikingly aud
painfully illustrated in the case of a
wretehed vagrant of Poughkeepsie,
New York, who one night this week
crept under one of the archways of
furnace, With the Intention of sleep
ing there until daylight. Knowing
that the niche he had selected kept
comfortably warm during the night
/ by means Of steam-pipes, he doubtless
congratulated himself on his excellent
luck. During the night, however, The
engineer in charge below, unaware Of
the presence of the sleeping vagrant
above, let off the steam from the bOil-,
er, which escaped through pipe in
the immediate vicinity OF the sleeper,
and instantly enveloped him in its hot
embraces. Shrieking with agony, the
lnliserable Outeast ,endeavored sstO es-
cape. Fate was against him, however,
for instead OF escaping to the cool air
he fell downward some distance into
a tub OF hot water. 1t is almost un-
necessary to add that the unfortunate
I victim died aftera a few hours Ofterrible
suffering.

died. He used 10 live there in the

Ii anything was wanting to show
the feeling entertained by the follow
ers of Brigham Young against the
Gentiles," It was exhibited on Tues
day at COrinne, Utah Territory, In the
brutal attack made upon Mr.. Beadle,
editor of the Utah Reporter, who was
beaten almost to death by n Mormon
mob. No other reason has been given
for the murderOus assault, except that
the victim of the outrage had written
articles in his paper denuaciatOry Of
pOlygamy. This was enough, and the |
roughs who attacked Mr. Beadle were |
doubtless instigated by the great lu- |
