ARREST ON THE CHARGE OF At
TEMPTED RAPE.
The Prisoner Held For Examination.

Gu yesterday evening Andrew Lewis wa
lodged in the Station House, by Office
Sheehy, On the complaint Of Mr.. 7. J.
Riley, that he had attempted rape On hi
DAT. hter, and is now held for examination
before His Honor, Judge Vaughn.
Lewis, it seems, has been = servant At the
Revere House, and other places in this city,
and was employed on "Wednesday last by
Nh. Chaplin, who keeps woodward, cor
ner Sixth and Delaware streets, As driver,
and on Yesterday was ordered TO deliver a
load Of cots for fuel purposes, when it is
alleged that he as~ailesi the young lady with
indecent offers while her mother and father
were absent from the premis :.
Mr. Riley promptly appeared at the yard
of Mr.. Chaplin, who awaited the return of
Lewis, and after relating his cause of COM
plant, Immediately upon the appearance of
the party he was ordered into the custody of
the law and locked up Tor a further exami-
nation
The children Of Mr.. Riley, all girls. are
aged respectively 4, 8. and IL years, and not
a little excitement was occasioned BY the
circumstances of the arrest.
The story OF the prisoner SINCE his incarce-
ration is that he was ordered to deliver the
load of cobs before mentioned. but cot being
acquainted with the locality, stopped at Mr..
Riley's and offered the young lady, or little
girl as he seemed to regard her, five cent
piece TO enquire for him where he should de-
liver the fuel Upon this basis he maintains
that the chsrge has been preferred against
him.
The examination will be had before Judge
Vaughn on Monday morning, when all the
facts will be elected, and meanwhile, in SO
painful and delicate matter, We withhold
an opinion and only present such facts in
the case Us we have been able to elicit from
official SOURCES

The Iaborers at work on the cut through
the bluffs, to the west of the city, for tn,
Narrow Gauge, discovered on yesterday q
about the depth of fifteen feet from
the cres,, a vein Of coal about seven inchei
thick, which is pronounced 70. be of good quail
ity. These evidences are good and may
lead to far greater results. bat We think that
the judgement Of an expert is needed before
We can arrive at any conclusion rs to the
value Of the discovery.
The road bed lies some thirty feet deeper
down, and the work Of excavation il
rapidly progressing. II may b
| that some other indications Of more extern
sive deposits will be revealed. Should coal
in abundance he thus found very near the
surface, it is true that fuel will be greatly
cheapened and the chances for establishing
Leavenworth as large manufacturing CEN
ter greatly enhanced.
But We have fine coal mine in operation,
several hundred feet deep, and the lesson
told in the perforation Of that pit, is that the
thick veins Of coal lie very deep, and We
can hardly expect to find any large deposits
near tine surface
However, science is often at fault in its
representations, and stranger things have
occurred than any which the discovery of
coal day before yesterday seems to now fore
shadow. BY this time the attention If BUSH
ness minds has been directed to the subject,
and We will know in day or two whether
there is anything really reliable in the dis
covery. which has been made in the Mar
row Gauge excavation.

THE GREAT ENTERPRISE.
Leavenworth Narrow Gauge Railway
What is Being Done in Its
Construction.

On yesterday afternoon We paid visit TO
the Reserve and Salt Creek Valley to see
what WINS being done toward the constrnc-
ton of the Marrow Gauge Railway, from
this c,ty'to Denver, and were amply re-
paid Tor the trouble in witnessing six or
seven miles of men and teams at work gra-
ding the road.bed, constructing the masonry
and cutting gap through the high bluffs TO
{ he west OF the city.
The road runs up Corral Greek, through
the Reserve. and then due west to low
point in the bluff, where a deep cut, which
= being rapidly made, will open up Salt
Greek to the city of Leavenworth. All along
this line the :eamsters with their SCOOP are
busy and the road-bed is fast approaching
completion.
On the other side, in the Valley, large
amount Of work has been already done and
the road-bed runs off into the distance to-
wards Denver like huge red and black
striped serpent If good weather holds, it
will not be many days before the iron horse
vii awaken the echoes upon the hills of
Salt Creek
This great enterprise Of our citizens, now
fully under way, is justly attracting the at
tsntion Of railroad men throughout tie
country. 1t will place US a, the eastern ter
minaiion of 4 system which is destined to
revolutioui.e the carrying trade of the world.
The great cities OF Chicago, New York and
81. Louis must fling out their arms to reach
u and the Trade that will be poured into our
laps. Ten miles OF the road will soon be
completed, then twenty and then Hundred,
and - on until the end il reached. The be-
ginning has been made and We have entered
on the high-road to wealthier days. A lew
more months will reveal 10 us the magnitude
of the undertaking, which has been - well
launched with all our hopes upon the sea Of
prosperity.

THE FINEST DEPOT WEST Or TINE
MISSISSIPPI.
1t is Nearly Ready for Use-A Fine
View OF the City.

On Yesterday We paid . visit TO the new
depot, a, the levee, which is nearly COM
pleted, and will be, when finished, the finest
structure of its kind, west Of the Mississippi
river.
The platform and woodwork of the interior
are in, and the irst coat Of paint upon them,
and the track is being laid through the buiid-
ing, which will be thoroughly paved and
graded to the surface oil the lsvae, giving
abundance Of room for travel of all kinds to
the river as veil as the depot.
Large and commodious rooms are reserved
for lady and gentlemen passengers, and a
spacious Office, baggage-room, closets, &c,
are to lie fitted up in the very best manner.
The cupola commands an extensive view
Of the city, to- river and the Fort, and in it d
t, be located the telegraph Office, with wires
running to all directions Of the country. We
enjoyed view Of the scenery from the belfry,
and although the day was a bad one. Ne were
more than charmed with the prospect hsfbre
Us.
The ground floor OF the building 10
spacious, and arranged with all modern
improvements. The roof is of me-
tallic corrugated plates on iron girders, and
is entirely fire proof, and when the whole
building is completed our citizens will be
justly proud of the magnificent structure.
The levee has been extended, and will be
thoroughly rip raped snd protected. The
track which passes over the new made ground
seems 10 he solid and durable; and probably
early in the next month, the first train Of
cars will deliver its load of passengers and
freight inside the gates Of the new depot.
