EycRuc1ArISa. - The locomotive
Ormshy, John Bartholomew, engineer,
which has recently taken the place OF
the Comstock, OH the railroad between
here and Carson. carries a little the
cruelist old screech of 4 whistle any
body ever heard. 1t is enough to sour
a pan of fresh goats milk, set the
teeth of q circular saw on edge, drive
a deaf man wild or give the bowels of
the old Comstock the gripes. The
Carson Register says: 1.-THE Ormsby
has the most unearthly yell Of any
locomotive that ever snorted, and Dave
McGown came near jumping from the
train the first time the whistle was
| turned loose. Bartholomew IS not
noted for weak nerves, but he comes
near playing a tune every time he
| touches the valve of that whistle-and
hence many have thought that 1t was
n genuine calliope.

ubiquitous personation was seriously
on the rampage this morning. Righ'

doses of filthy street dust are produc
