Yesterday was unusually bright and
warm. The recent rains in the upper
part of the State have not visited us
yet, and sunny Autumn weather Is
still the order Of the day.
One inebriate only stood arraigned
before the awful majesty of the law
yesterday. The city funds were en-
riched by 50 80, and the admOnished
culprit went his way.
ID. d. Brunk, of Arroyo Seco, will
exhibit several cOOps of fine fowls at

The elegant and gifted gossipy news
paper correspondent who is at present
making mess of editing the Star,
unable to sustain hislallen fortunes any
better, descends to the level of calling
one of the editors of this paper nick
names. You cannot make a silk purse
out of u sow's ear, nor can the dignity
of first class journalism be expected Of
our morning contemporary.
The firm of Dotter & Lord has un-
dergone change of proprietors. Mr..
Lord has sold out his interest to Mr..
Bradley, and the firm name is changed
to Dotter & Bradley. Whilst it is a
matter of regret that SO able and pub
lie spirited a man as Mr.. Lord should
leave the city, it is a matter of con-
graduation that he should be succeed
ed by such a gentlemen as Mr.. Brad
ley. The firm of DOtter & Bradley
have our best wishes. The house does
an immense business, and may it long
continue to thrive.

A DECISION 10 the famous Credit Mo-
bilier suit brought by the government, aud
tried before the United States district
court, at Hartford, last October, has been
reached at last, and tho decision is adverse
to the government The suit was brought
by the government to make the members
of the Credit Mobilier corporation return
the first mortgage and land grant bonds,
which they absorbed in large numbers as
payment for the construction of the road
and TO cause them to pay over the dividends
and profits upon the Union Pacific stock
which they received in excess of their legit.
innate claims for work done and services
rendered. The grounds on which the gov
eminent brought the suit were that the
Union Pacific railroad company had been
defrauded, and that, If these frauds could
be righted, the mortgages held by the Uni
ted States on the compauy's road and fran.
chises would be correspondingly strength
ened. Attorney eneral Williams has all
along expressed himself as confident that
the case would be decided in favor of tho
government, but it was a matter of common
remark at Hartford, while the trial was
going on, that the United States counsel
we're overmatched both in legal ability and
arguments, and the decision is certainly a
forcible Endorsement of that view of the
case.

One Of the most heart repdlng tragedies
Of the century was the sinking Of the
steamer " Vile du IIavre," on Sunday Of.
last week, at open sea, by which two hun
dred and twenty-six persons were drowned
This steamer, which was one Of the largest
and finest aaoat, left New York on the
10Th ult. for uayre Brauoe She had on
board three hundred and thirteen passen.
gers and crew About two o'clock on the
morning of the 23l, while pursuing her
course, she was run into by the British ship
4" Lochearn" an iron vessel of 1900 tens,
plying between Glasgow and New York.
The force Of the blow, which struck the
q" Havre' amidships, was sufficient to make
a large hole in her, and in ten minutes
from that time she went plump down. OF
course the panic aboard the " Havre" was
terrible and In Eve minutes after the col
lision the main and mizzen masts fell across
two large boats which were filled with peo-
pie aud ready for launching. The boats
were crushed to pieces and many Of their
occupants killed and injured In the brief
interval between the collision and the sink.
ing Of the steamer, the crew were able to
launch only the whale boat and captains
gig. The Lochearu" went a mile before
stopping she then got out four boats to
pick up the people struggling 10 the water
Meanwhile the whale boat under the com.
mand Of the second lieutenant of the Vile
du Havre,' picked up one load Of those who
were clinging to planks, spars, etc, and
took them to the Lochearu" She re.
turned to the, scene, and rescued another
load. Captain Surmont, who remained on
deck to the last, was rescued by this boat
three-quarters of an hour after the collision
One Of the oflisers swan mile to the
" Lochearn," aud was hauled on board with
a rope The boats continued to search the
waters in the vicinity of the disaster until
thore vas no hope Of saving more lives
The cold was intense. Many Of the sur,
yivors were immersed two hours, and were
almost lifeless when rescued.
Eigbty.seven persons, in all, were saved
Among the lost were Judge Peckham and
wife, of Albany, N. Y. Henry Sigourney
and family; Charles Mixter and family,
and others, Of Boston.

After years Of patient labor, aud the cx.
penditure Of many millions Of money, this
wonderful undertaking is so far completed
that an opening was made on Thanksgiving
day sufficiently large to permit, not only the
light Of day, but several State officials and
contractors, to make the passage from one
side to the other. The plan is definitely
made to have the tunnel entirely completed
aud opened Cor its appropriate uses on the
Fourth day Of July next,
As far back rs 1925 it was grayely pro-
posed to tunnel the Iloosuc Mountain in
order that a canal might be made to con.
meet Boston with the Hudson River at the
junction Of the Erie canal with that river
Time passed on proposal after proposal
was made; contract after Gourmet was en-.
tered into; but up almost until the present
it has seemed az il the lloosac Tunue pro-
Jet had been kept alive merely for the
bencdi Of politicians aud contractors The
present contractors entered resoluiely upon
their work, aud corresponding success. has
crowned their labors.
When completed this great enterprise
will take rank with the greatest works OF
the kind which will give this age dis.
tiu'tiou in the years to come with the
Suez Canal, the Pacific railroad and the
Mont Gents Tunnel aud the State Of Mas
sacbu.etts is to be congratulated on the
prospective completion Of work which
while it will be gain to itself, will be an
advantage to the entire Union. The labor
has been long, the expense has been great
but the completed work will be full and
satisfactory reward
An idea Of the magnitude of the work
may be gathered from the following figures
In length the tunnel will be 2j,O3l feet.
There will be two shafts, one Of OPS, and
the other of 3ls feet in depth. The road
way will be tweuty-four feet wide, the
height from grade to roof twenty.six feet,
the whole costing the Commonwealth Of
Massachusetts upwards Of twelve millions
of dollars 1t will be the second largest
tunnel 10 the world. The Mount Gents
Tunnel is seven miles in length the IIoosac
will be four and three quarter mIcs. After
the Pacific railroad It is the greatest piece
Of engineering the United States have un.
dertaken and all but accomplished, and its
successful completion will encourage the
hope that the lstbmus Of Panama will not
much longer be allowed to obstruct the
rapidly growing trade Of the New World.
