hours Of 10 and II o'clock, a very disgrace
full scene was enacted in the vicinity Of
Fifth street. 1t was of purely domestic
nature in itself, but was carried to such an

within hearing distance. A man and wife,
whose names we did not learn, engaged in
a regular set-to fight, and carried it to
such an extent ~ TO awaken their little
girl, who, through fright, began TO scream
in . manner that brought several neigh.

Arrival Of Snsw.B Bound Passengers frem
the Pacific Slope at ckIoagL


CHICAGO, February 23.--The first
passengers who have reached this city
fro San Francisco, twenty-eieht days
en- route, arrived last night. There
were one hundred and fifty OF them.
In a conversation with a reporter, two
of them, j. W. Phillips, of Brooklyn,
and John n. Van Pelt, of Idaho, de-
nouneed the managers Of the Pacific
railroad, and said that the employees
of the company whom they ,ancoun-
tered were bruteS. Mr.. Van lPelt left
San Francisco on the 22d of January.
The train that left on the 18th of that
month was the last one that came
through. This train was the ene that
picked up passengers all along the
route. Many were delayed at Ogden.
The eastWard-bOund trains were on
| the track and there was no prospect of
getting through, but Governor Potts,
! Colonel Vial, the Indian agent, Mr..
BsrstOw, postal agent, and General
Washburne, by using their influence,
borrowed a train from the Central Pa
cifc road, and after putting into the
express and baggage cars plenty Of
provisions, started for Green river.
They left Ogden on the 22d instant,
and reached Green river safely, hav-
ing encountered but a few small snow
drifts. At Green river the train
stopped, and nothing could induce
those in charge to go ahead. AT the
end of thirteen days the train moved
forward sixty.One miles without meet
ing any distractions. Beyond that
point the locomotive was thrown from
the track by the snow-plow catehingi in
a frog. and took tWenty-four hours to
put it on. They were eighteen days
going from Ogden to Simpsons Hill,
two hundred and sixty-seven miles.
Here an immense snoWdrift wis met,
and the passengers worked from
morning till ten in the evening re-
moving it. They met six or seven
western-bound trains, and were de-
lsyed by switching seven hours.
From there to Chicago they made
good time.
There was no suffering on tho train,
every one having plenty to eat. The
passengers on one Of the western
bound trains had nothing to eat, and
would have starved had not a Mr..
Sarton, who intended starting a res
taurant at Green river, opened two
car loads OF provisions and permitted
the hungry men and women TO take
WhQf fhpU wanted.
