CHICAGO.

CHICAGO, Oct. 22.-In the National
Board of Trade this morning three re-
solutions, reported to the Executive
council, in reference to American ship
ping interests, were taken up for de-
bate. The first resolution, favoring
payment by Congress of bounty to
American ship builders, met with al
most unanimous disapproval. A dele
gate from Wilmington, Delaware, de-
clared that the ship builders there
did not desire Government aid, assert
ed that the cost of ship building in
Clyde was now only ten per cent. less
than in America, and was constantly
increasing by tn. advance of labor,
coal and iron. Worrel, of Philadel-
phia, endorsed this statement and said
that American ship builders did not
ask Government aid and needed no
protection. The resolution was tabled
by vote of So to3. The second resolu-
tion, renewing the former recommen-
dation of the Board for rebate of duties
on ship stores for use by vessels in
foreign trade, was then taken up.

The Star of Wednesday has an ar
ticle stating that it was John f.
Gould, and not William, who got into
a street fight the other day, and that
William, and not John, is the sole
proprietor of the argus. The fact is,
and it is all known to the editor of the
Star, that John F. Gould owns half of
the office, and does fully one-half of
the writing. He was not in a street
fight, nor was it in the day time, but
after night, and he was protecting two
of our most respectable ladies from the
assault Of drunken soldier. John F.
Gould has the thanks and the esteem
of both the families of the ladies, and
all the right-minded persons of the
community, for his gentlemanly and
chivalrous behavior on this occasion.

Terrible Accident.

The Phoebe Record gives the follow
ing particulars Of the recent terrible
accident which happened to MI. viii
liams, a WEIGH miner about % years
of age:
He took into his cabin, on the side
Of the hill near the HUM & Hunt
hosting works, what he supposed to
be n metallic powder key filled with
frozen water, and placed 1t on his
cooking stove to thaw. When the Ice
on the top began to melt, lie leaned
over the stove to observe whether 1t
had thawed sufficiently to empty the
key. Then, horrible to relate, an ex-
plosion occurred which blew the stove
and cabin into atoms and threw Nj.
Williams several feet, tearing Of ell
tirely the thumb of his left hand, fear
fully mangling all tho fingers, badly
decorating both legs and literally NIL
ing the lower portions Of his body with
fragments of tin and grains Of coarse
powder. The key was nearly filled
with blasting powder, having but q
thin covering Of ice OH top. l: seems
miraculous, considering the general
havoc around the scene Of explosion
fragments of the stove and house being
scattered far and near-that he escaped
with his life, or q whole member of his
body. Though his eyelashes were
burned off, the main force OF the ex-
plosion seems to have been below the
chest. He died at 4 O'Clock T. n. the
next day. having survived a little over
twenty-four hours.

A short time since a scirrhus' forma-
ton was removed from the body Of
James Jones, of Hyrum, Cache Valley,
by DR.. Ormsby, Jr. 1t was located on
the outside Of the hip-bone, occupying
a space measuring six by eight inches.
It lay between the skin and muscles Of
the hip, and was incorporated with tho
skin. 1t consisted Of q broad, fiat
body, with almond shaped offshoots
all over Its external surface, Of q pale
and seni-sanguineous character; 1t
evidently had Its origin In the right
kidney, as Its only root, Of about three
fourths Of an inch In thickness BY one
aud a half In breadth was traceable d.
rectly to that organ. Tho wound.
since the operation, Is doing very we'll.
So difficult was Its removal that It re-
quired forty minutes to complete the
operation. At present the case prom
ises a successful termination.

CARSON, Feb. z, 1873.

ARSON rep. q, 1910.
Ed. News: The subject Of freight
and fares on the C. P. r. r. Is a sub
ject on which there seems to be a great
er amount Of feeling than on any agi-
tating the public mind at this time ;
and, although my spirit is willing, l
find my brain too weak to properly lay
before the public the facts In the vase
as they appear to my mental vision.
In railroad matters an education Is rs
necessary as In legal practice ; not the
education derived from a course Of
study In a college, but actual aud prac-
tical knowledge of the entire modus
operGndi of railroad government, and
especially so in the case Of so gigantic
an institution as the G. p. r. K. The
main complaint Is that freight shipped
to any town In this State has to be sent
clear through to tide water and from
thence back again to Its proper destiii-
alton, and q great howl Is made that
extra freight Is thus charged. Now I
find from statistics that such IL entire
ly a mistake. The freight shipped OIL
eastern roads, Is through freight, and
cannot, according to the arrangement
made, be interfered with, nor can, 1t
be considered as way freight until 1t
has arrived ut its destination that Is,
tide water or San Francisco. After its
arrival there 1t becomes the property
of the C. P. K. r. Company, and not
until then has that company any more
right to break bulk than has the cap
tain of a ship to do so with his cargo
duly shipped and consigned to a GER
tain port.
That the people Of the State Of Ne.
vada are justified In complaining Of
this state OF affairs. no sane person
doubts, but that the Central Pacific
Railroad Company are alone to blame
cannot be clearly proven. The prin-
cipal blame certainly attaches to the
Eastern companies, who r we'll
known to feel jealous Of the growing
commercial power Of this Western
part OF the continent, and not only In
competitive business matters, but even
in the emigration of eastern citizens to
and the use OF Eastern capital In our
State and California, are they Of the
East ueSlrouS Oh placlnS every lnlpeul-
ment In the way Of the growth Of our
section Of country. am informed by
those who know, that nothing would
give more satisfaction to the Central
Pacific Railroad Company than the es-
tablishmont of a uniform rate OF fares
and freight Oh all the railroads of the
United States. but 1t would seem rather
an invidious attack on the Central Pa
clhc to request Congress to legislate In
this matter as regards that road only,
whereas the difficulty Is plainly trace
able to other sources, viz the older
established roads.
I shall endeavor, without occupying
too much space in your columns, to
give In my next such statistics as l
have collated, and | trust that some
thing may BIZ CLEANED therefrom which
may teid to disabuse the minds Of
some, at least, Of those who rail against
the corporation for the sake Of spleen
only and without having properly coll
sidered all sides Of the question.
