A CURIOUS CIRCuMsrANcE.-We be-
lieve it is a well-established fact that
the bodies of persons drowned In Lake
Tahoe have never been recovered. the
clear cold waters Of the lake absolutely
refusing tc give up their dead. This
circumstance, which at first thought
appears strange. Is accounted for upon
the hypothesis that the waters ut the
bottom OF the lake are so icy cold as
actually to arrest decomposition and
consequent expansion Of a dead body,
one OF the conditions under which 1t
would be expected to return to the
surface. Whether the victims who re-
pose at the bottom of the pellucid
waters Of this far-famed lake undergo
petrifaction, or are transformed Into
mermen and mermaids, Is a secret
which will never be known until they
come to the surface at the summons Of
Gabrlel's trump.
TRAIN LATE.-rhe passenger train
from Reno, due here at $40, was II
hour and twenty.seven minutes behind
time this morning. The delay was oc-
casioned BY the engine pumps getting
out of order while passing over the
Reno and Carson division OF the road.
After the defect in the pumps had been
repaired, the Reno pulled out from
Carson at n lively pace and made Gold
Hill in the uneSampled time OF forty
minutes. One OF the passengers COM
menting upon rapid rate OF locomotion
remarked that he had always heard
that the road was crooked, but this
morning, he added, cit was id
straight, as we didn't have time to 90
round the curves but jumped straight
across"
