THE RAILROAD BALI. was the
feature of the night of the Fourth,
here, of course. When we saw
that when the continuous process
sion which streamed thitherward
until midnight had pretty much
got located inside the Curry
Tabernacle there were enough
ladies and gentlemen there to
cleverly occupy that immense
moor, and make it appear as if
the great room was costly filled,
when we say that, a faint idea of
the magnitude of the gathering
can be conceived of. BY all odds
it was the broadest, longest, Steep
est and biggest-round of any ball
that was ever held in Carson or
anywhere else in the Great
American Basin-unless it might
have been a Mormon dance, in a
godlyway, in the great Tabernacle
at Salt Lake City. The hall looked
splendidly, and was lighted up in
very brilliant style. The grand
music stand was IA square arrange
ment, big as common house,
erected in the middle of the floor.
and draped with flags. The music
was very fine. There has never
been such general gathering of
all the better classes of our people
as was here convened. Mr.. Raj
stOn and his fellow eXcursionists
were there to represent grand
cash and narrOw-guage capital,
and the most humble and unpre-
tentious employees of the railroad
OF which he is principal owner
were also there, and the while the
Governor and the other State Off
GERS gave dignity and tone to the
atfaii, the sovereigns did not fail
to "shake fut wild Fanny there"
This ball was something more
than mere dance; it was a Con-
gress of dancers. Hereafter let no
seven by nine fandango set itself
up for "Grand Ball" Our friends
of the Fountain Restaurant had a
big spread ia the moulder's shop.
These tables set 15l persons. These
participants happy and untram-
meled for want OF space and time,
took an all night gait, and kept it
up until the gray tints of dawn
began TO put out the stars.
OLD MAN LEBO dropped in yes
terday to tell us good thing on

seems that a certain confidence
operator, who gave his name as
John Burroughs, has been passing
himself off for sheep owner, and
so far succeeded in pulling a ficti-
tiOus fleece Of wool over the eyes
Of the aforesaid Imperialists as
that one of them loaned him fifty
or seventy dollars, and another
one similar sum Of money. One
of the victims went so far as to
hire u buggy, and convey the said
sheep herder to Markleville where
he represented his herds to be.
Once there he skedaddled for

The Riyerside Club.

The crew of the Riverside boa: are max
ing great efforts to secure sufficient training g
for them to make splendid contest on
Monday. They have been subjected to
many disappointments, but make mantul
efforts to overcome them. Each night,
under the coaching Of their coxswain and
trainer, Mr.. James B. Kelley, they pull
from their boathouse, at the head of Thalia
street, down the river to a point near the
Convent. This gives them row of about
three miles and half down, and according
ly they have seven miles of exercise before
their days work is over.
Every member of the club, from Pres
ident John Hurley down to the last attache,
takes the most absorbing interest in their
condition. Their boat of white and red
cedar, was made by the maker of the other
boats, Roberts, of New York, and is similar
except being three inches wider. The club
has only been organized two months and a
half, but will give its rivals lively pull
for the honors. Mr.. O'Hara is still unable
to take his place in the boat, but is we'll
represented by Mr.. r. E. Diamond.
The officers of the club are: John Hurley,
president; P. Gallagher, vice president;
Jake Miller, secretary; r. E. Diamond,
captain and treasurer.

The Champion Fire Extirgui.her.

Louisville company has recently taken
out a patent for machine for the extin-
guishment Of fire by scientific process, the
agent used in lieu of water being carbonic
acid gas.
The powers of mechanics, natural phi
losophy and chemistry are thus combined
and utilized to subdue the flames. To coun-
try towns and villages this invention will
prove a blessing. The experience Of va
rious cities and towns Of the North and
East attests its efficacy. 1t consists of en-
gines of different sizes, propelled by horse
power, and also portable hand machines
for private residences.

ENGLAND.
The tron Question.


LoyDoN, August 29.-The Time, shia
morning has an editorial on the iron ques.
ton, the burden Of which is that one Of
the finest markets England ever possessed,
the trade In iron, is being gradually closed .
to her, and that her disasters in this direce
ton are not ended. 1t remarks:
The United States is competing success
fully for the control of the iron traffic with
Canada, South America and the West
Indies. They have contested under i'm
mense natrual disadvantages, but have
beaten England in spite of these. She
(England) can not afford to idle and sleep
away her time and waste her money while
competing with very active aud intelligent
nations
The Times thinks that much of the blame
for this state of things should fall upon the
strikers and trades unions.
Loss of a Ship.

Captain w. H. GreathOuse.

This popular gentleman, who died some
what suddenly at his residence, No. 93l
Magazine street, yesterday afternoon, was
one Of the best known of the citizens of
Louisiana.
He came 10 this State about twenty years
ago from his native place, near Evansville,
Indiana, and engaged in the commission
business. He followed this occupation un-
til about the year 1863, when he went on
the river in the upper coast trade. From
this time until his death he was in COM
mand Of steamboat. During this period
he had charge of five different boats, the last
being the 3. L. Hodge.
In the prosecution of his business he made
hosts of friends. Hardly man, woman or
child along the coast but knew the ''old
white hat" and felt q warm attachment for
the wearer.
He was born January ii, 1925, and in his
earlier years in Indiana was prominently
engaged in politics. He was honored by
his fellow-citzens with successive elections
to the Indiana House of Representatives
and Senate. He was also General OF mi
litia. He leaves wife and five children.
His funeral services will take place at his
late residence, No. 93l Magazine street, at
four o'clock this afternoon.

John p. Hale.

Our dispatches received last evening,
announced that this distinguished states
man was dying. The news was no: al
together unexpected, since Mr.. Hale has
been for several months in feeble condi-
ton, and a few weeks ago he fell and dslo-
Gated his hip bone, which accident doubtle
tended to hasten his death.
New Hampshire, which has in the past
furnished more than her proportion Of the
great statesmen Of our country, cherished
none with more fondness than Mr.. Hale.
He was graduated at Bowdoin College in
1877. was admitted to the bar in 1880, and
almost immediately became prominent in
politics. In 1882 he was a member of the
State Legislature; from 1884 until 1912 he
was district attorney for the State, then for
three years member Of Congress, stterward
in the Legislature again, speaker Of the
House one term, during which he was
elected TO the United States Senate. At
the close Of his first term in 1853 he failed
of reelection, but was chosen again two
years afterward and retained his sea: for
ten years, making a total service of sixteen
years during an eventful period OF our
history.
He was the first free-soil or arti-slavery
Senator that ever took his seat in that
body. In the LIST Of Senators his name
appeared printed in small capitals, at the
time when Wings were printed in italics
and Democrats in roman letters. For years
he fought all alone the battles Of his then
weak and struggling party with talent and
courage, but with an unvary ing amiability
of temper that endeared him personally
to the bitterest Of his political foes.
Finally Sumner joined him from Massachu-
setts and Chase from Ohio, making the
three pioneers Of the great Republican
party of the present.
He left the Senate in 1865 to accept the
position Of Minister to Spain, where he re-
mained until 1862 when he resigned on ac-
count of failing health, since which time he
has lived quietly at his home in Dover,
having beheld the ideas he battled for on
the floor of the Senate, solitary and alone,
become the established policy of the eoun-
try He was the candidate of the Free Soil
party for the Presidency in 1852, and re-
ceived l57, $50 votes. Fremont did better
in 1856, and Lincoln awept the country in
1860.
Mr.. Hale had reached his sixty eighth
year. He was a man of wonderful vigor
and brilliancy, and gave to his country the
best working days of an honest and faith
ful life. In later years he grew uucomforta-
bly, stout, but always retained remarkable
beauty of feature and grace of manner.
AS our country has rarely produced a
nobler statesman, so none will be meurned
more sincerely than he who laid last night
upon his dying bed.

At about five o'clock Yesterday afternoon
the long expected navigator. Joseph {.
Cloud, appeared in sight coming down tne
river in his boat. He was somewhat de-
layed among the RATS behind the island. but
made a landing at TIE whsrfboao at half
past five o'clock, tied his craft up and
walked uron the shore, A Corrier-Jouram
reporter interviewed Cloud, and found him
to be large raw-boned man, six feet hi Oh,
weighing iS5 pounds, wearn side whiskers,
moustache, and imperial. weather beaten,
his right eve out and right hand de formed.
He was dressed sailor fashion, ia blouse,
blue pants and straw hat and walked a
little lame from the swelling of his ankles.
He is forty-nine years Of age and has been
a sailor all his lite. having ranged the world
over after the fashion of his c:ats.
He stated the origin OF his trip . be As
follows:
In the early part os Jun. he was sitting
at a table in saloon in Philadelphia, with
two Engli.hIen and two Americans, aud
the Englishmen began 90 twit their com
rades upon the number OF times IN which
American champions had been beaten in
England. 1t length Cloud got little ex-
cited and said he would row from PAiladel-
phia TO New Orleans for 5000; and the
Engliehmen cook him up, and 500 forfeit
money was put up. The next morning
Cloud rather regretted what he had DONE
aud there was some talk OF compromising
with tie Englishmen, but they would not
listen to it, and Cloud put hilnselt in train
ing for the trip. reducing hi. weight from
2l2 pounds TO is6. On the fifteenth OF July
he left Philadelphia, ana toll!ng Sv canal
and river arrived at Pittsburg ard took
The Ohio He LETT Cincinnati Sunday
morning. and arrived at :his point
Just :og;v-two day. after he left Phil
aGelph;a. He !. obliged either 30 sleep
in h. boat o. on plans upon the
shore. in the open ak, and coming
through Pennsylvania he experienced con-
siderable difficulty from the want o. water.
and the dieicult passage through locks. He
has been Swallowed all the way by two par
ties in the interest of the Englishmen with
whom the bet was made. His average speed
to Louisville has been fifty miles day, and
ll50 miles more to run. For this distance
he has left Of hi, time l03 days. and he can
easily accomplish the feat, as he will only
have to average thirteen and half miles a
day.
He was 50 unfortunate a. to lose lis son
in Cincinnati by cholera. This young man
had acted as his courier, going ahead OF him
and providing his supplies
Cloud is very much depressed az the loss
of his son, and this is the only thing that
mars his journey. He says that, with the
exception of his swollen ankles, he feels
stronger ard better, physically. than he has
for many years. Owing to the fact that he
has 10 wait for funds here, he will not get
OF before this afternoon. He slep: LAS;

The WaWasset xnvestigati0n.
The report of tue Wawasoet steamboat
commission is in the hands Of the Secretary
of the Treasury, though not yet officially
promulgated. 1t is understood they first
recommend the prosecution of the Potomac
Ferry Company for employing in their ser
vice captain and mate known to them to
be unlicensed officers, in violation of the
existing rules governing steamboats, of the
United States. They also condemn them
for allowing either the officers or crew of
the Wawasset to engage as hucksters in the
traffic OF melons, fruits, vegetables, etc,
the products of the Virginia and Mary land
shores.
Second-The prosecution Of Captain
Woods and mate, NJ. Grove, for &C.
cepting their respective positions in
violation of the steamboat law, hold
Jag that ignorance in either case is
no excuse. 1t is understood that the re-
port recommends the revocation of the
license Of the engineer for engaging in the
business of trader, and for his failing to
apply such means as were at his cammand
to check the course of the fire. The officers
are condemned for failing to distribute life
preseryers and lower life boats. Also, for
failing to have fire organization. The
commission will report that, in their opinion,
the origin Of the fire is shroudea in uys-
tecv.
