passed tue geese at points D miles dis
tant, tho geese moving at the rate of
IL miles per hour towards st. Louis,

about 3 hours behind A; but A. meets
C. so miles plus 2 hours walk from
Chicago, and B. meets G. 81 miles
minus 10 minutes walk from Chicago.
Now, leaving out the distance Of 2
hours and 40 minutes walk of A. or
B., ;and that must have been more
than IA miles an hour or they could
not have passed the geesel We have 10
miles between the two points, but. G.
must meet B. at all events within 3
hours Of his passing a., and how can
C. walk 10 miles in 3 hours, ut the rate
of 3IS miles per hour? G.. A.

Observation-Disclosures night q French
man occupying the e a portion OF
Mrs. Torres saloon and dwelling
souse, on North G street, Virginia
City, attempted the destruction of the
entire family occupying the building.
In order to carry out his tiendish pur-
pose, he made fast the door Of the room
occupied by Mrs. Torres brother on
the outside, SO that he could not es-
cape, having previously saturated the
premises with coal oil. He then fired
the building. Officers Hayton and
Simpson, who we're patrolins c street
at the time, luckily discovered the fire
and 'extinguished the flames before
they had caused much damage. The
officers were so prompt in their move
ments that the incenditry did not have
time to escape from the premises. lie
was found secreted under n Of the
stairways, and was dragged out and
lodged In the s.ation-house. The at
fair occurred at about II O'Clock. 1t
appears that the Frenchman, whose
cognomen was Frank, was in love
with u daughter Of Mrs. Torres, and
that his affection was not r~eciprocated.
Actuated by q spirit of revenge. he de-
termined to involve the whole family
In one common conflagration. He
would undoubtedly have been success
full but for the vigilance aud energetic
action OF officers Hayton and Simpson.
both OF whom are deserving OF the
highest praise. The Frenchman Will
have an examination In the Justices
Court to-day. The alarm, which was
promptly sounded in the breaking out
of the fire. called out the entire Fire
Department. bur fortunately their ser
vices we're not called Into requisitton.
