FATAL RAILROAD AccrDENT.-When
the s o'clock, A. NJ. passenger train for
Carson was passing below the Gold
Hill depot, one OF the railroad hands
by the name of Charles Greiner at
tempted to jump on board of the
empty flats which preceded the pas
senger car. He missed or slipped,
and fell between two of the flats in
such a manner that six of the flats and
the passenger car passed acroSS both
legs a short distance above the knees,
crushing both so badly as to n%ecessi-
tate am%putstion. DR.. Kirby and Web
Der were called, and pronounce the i'll
juries fatal. rs il the unfortunate man
should o die under the amputation he
could hardly survive it. Mr.. Greiner
was about IS years OF age, n native of
Germany, aud has n wife and two
children residing in this town.
L. S.-Since writing the above we
learn that Greiner died at . O'Clock
this afternoon from the effect Of his III
juries. Amputation was not attempt
ed, as the poor fellow never rallied
from the terrible shock received by his
nervous system. His left leg was com-
pletely shattered from below the knee
nearly to the hip.

giuia City boy will commence making

SrARxs.-rhere Is one thing which we
oberyed In the use of the steamers last
night, which, it seems to Va, ought to
be corrected. We allude to the enor-
nous quantity aud size Of the sparks
which are thrown from the smoke
stack when the engines are in opera
ton. Happily the wind did not blow
last nigh: and nothing caught from
these sparks, but it seems TO US that
something should be placed over the
tops Of these stacks to prevent such
showers Of sparks from being thrown
about the streets and on adjoining
buildings. We noticed this partlcn-
larly In the engine on g street, near
Union. about two o'clock this morn
ing. 1t looks dangerous, and, II posi-
BILE. should be prevented.
RAMPANT CAR.-About . o'clock last
evening. u a loaded with track rails,
standing on the switch real the Gold
Hill depot, somehow got loose and
started on on a raid toward Carson.
The switch opposite the Yellow Jacket
yard. neal the north end OF the bridge.
was open, however, and allowed the
predatory car to run oil the track aud
dump its load rs well aS itself without
any serious damage. Had the switch
been closed. that car would have had 4
fine run down the track and would
have gone nearly to Carson ii it did not
jump the track.

this renowned violinist, arrived in
Virginia City this morning for the
urpos of advertising and making ar.
rangements for a couple of concerts a,
tbe Opera House in Virginia City. on

found our people in the shadow of u
fearful calamity, and with commenda'
bile delicacy resolved to postpone the
proposed concerts until a future period
probably some two weeks heiice.
