ARRIVALS AND DEPARTURES.

PIScHowER on THE WAR-PNTH.-At
length the warlike spirit Of Pinchower
70 thoroughly aroused, and he is going
after his rights in earnest. The bold
innovation Of the piratical Won Schmidt
IN attempting to tap and drain Lake
Tahoe by means Of a big tunnel bored
with steam engines through the Sierra
Nevada mountains, Is a little more Of
q cheeky operation in that line than
Pinchower al stand. Pinchower
claims prior rights over this tam
shteam schwindle," as he calls II, hav-
ing located that as well as Washoe and
Walker lakes some time ago, for sup
plyinc Virginia and Gold Hill with
water. He has surveyed the route and
got up his charts, diagrams, estimates
and specifications, at an enormous
amount of trouble and expense. He
considers Won Schmidt with his steam
swindle Just as bad as Sutro with his
royalty swindle, and proposes to cut
him of forthwith-squelch him etfec-
tually and eternally. Pinchower start
ed down to Carson this morning by the
8 O'Clock train, in order to see and
consult with his Excellehcy Governor
Bradley. He took along a huge bum
die Of charts. maps, diagrams, etc.,
slung across his shack like a Piute baby,
with fancy ribbons and strings to 1t.
He will ask the Governor for a force Of
800 men to 90 and drive Won Schmidt
of, and Harry Shrieves, the conductor
of the train, promised him that In case
the Governor would send these 800
men the Railroad Company will fur
nish 200 more. Old Won Schmidt Will
have TO get into his hole and stay there.
WHAT CAN SHE WANT WITH Ir?-
The Enterprise says: "A day or two
since a gentleman visited the office OF
Coroner Symons in this city. and asked
20 be given the rope with which Geo.
%, Kirk was hung by the Vigilance
Committee. He said a lady In San
Francisco was very anxious to get IL,
and II the Coroner would ooiige MIN
by letting him have It. he would for
ward 1t to her. The Coroner brought
It out and gave 1t to him with both
knot and moose In It, just rs It wa
used! We happened to be present at
the time. and tried to learn something
In regard to the use that was to GO
made Of the rope, but made no pro-
press toward our object. We are
pretty sure, however, that 1t Is wanted
because Of some superstitious notion
held by the lady In regard to the pc.
culiar virtues OF q rope at the emu Oh
which a man has died."
A CALLIorE LocoMoTIvE.-ohnny
Bartholomew, the crack engineer OF
the v. & I. X. H., yesterday trotted
ont his fancy little locomotive, tho
Ormsby, at the head Of the four O'Clock
down train-just to keep her Timber,
70 take the stiffness out Of her Joints,
and to keep screecher in fresh wind.
Johnny usually runs the Humboldt
but she has no ''calliope organ IKE
the Ormsby-that sweet screecher
which every now and then greets the
ears Of Gold Killers. and makes them
almost feel az II a big file was at work
on their teeth-or that the devil had
b.oken loose and was after Dave
MCGOWAN, the "blonde" conductor
or the train-who usually plays q
iewsharp to the sweet sounds OF the
callloplsn music Of the Ormsby. It is
like the Arkansas girl, she's got q big
screecher. n.
CoRREcr.-A day or two since In
writing an item relative to the antici-
pated appearance Of Mrs. F. W. Lam
der at Piper's Opera House, we in
o~eniously put the name Of Charlotte
Eushman In parenthesis connected
Herewith. This misled many persons
into the Idea that we were under the
impression that Mrs. Lander was for
merly Charlotte Cushman. or course
not. Mrs. Lander was Miss Jean NJ.
Davenport, as everybody knows. Col.
Lander could not have been induced to
marry anybody else, much less Char
lotte Cushman, who was old enough to
be his mother or perhaps his great
grandmother
