AFTER Us. THE DELUGE.--At the side of the
Central Pacific Railroad, in Reno, says the
Chronicle, of 21st. is huge wooden tank, from
which the locomotives receive their supply of
water. The pipe from which the water is led
is foot and half in diameter, and it escapes
with great force and volume when the gate is
opened. Yesterday morning, at about o'clock,
when all the passengers were wrapped in silent
slumber, the westward bound train came by,
and as usual, stopped to take water. When
the tender was full, the engineer started n,
but from some cause the water pipe was not
closed and the whole line of sleeping cars
received a terrible deluge as they passed by.
The night being very warm, nearly all the WIN
dows were up, and as gallons of water poured
into them upon the unconscious sleepers, Yells
and screams and stranglings and choekings
and feminine shrieks filled the midnight air,
The whole cars were flooded, and many
thought that the last day had come sure enough
and that the comet had bursted and the world
was being submerged. All the passengers,
without regard to appearances, rushed to the
doors in a body, but when the cause OF the
inupdation was dicovered, and the first excite
ment began to subside, there was a general
stampede for wearing apparel, and the train
started on its way, bearing set OF as drenched
and disconsolate-l looking wretches as ever
crossed the mountains.

THE LYON COUNTY TIMES
N.r1nNA1. RrpI-RIIcAN COMMIT

NATIONAL REPUBLICAN COMMIT
TEE.-The address of the Congress
sional National Committee, which
was issued at Washington, July ID,
is an important document. 1t COM
mences by giving critical review
of the work performed by the Demo
cratic party during the thirty years
ii controlled the government OF TINS
country, and then reviews the record
of the Republican party since March
1861. The record for the first few
years is not any longer questioned or
gainsayed by any enc. 1t IS the
story of the Union preserved, sla-
very abolished, human rights guar
anteed by the three new articles in
the Constitution, the murderous
Ku-Klux organizations broken up
and its members convicted and pun
ished. Then follows the new era in
diplomacy, which grew out Of the
treaty of Washington, the relinquish
ment of the San Juan claim and the
payment of the Geneva award. The
increase of inland commerce and the
extension of railway lines in every
direction, making markets convent
ent for the swiftly-increasing popu-
lation, are in direct contrast with the
policy which ever governed the
Democratic party. And all the
time since the close of the war taxes
and the debt together have been
steadily decreased. With every for
eign nation postal treaties have been
established and postage reduced.
Speaking of the work yet to be per-
formed the address pertinently says:
j." Whoever is elected to Congress
will, when elected, be either Re-
publican or Democrat. No matter
under what name the election may
be composed, the man will surely be
either a Republican or Democrat
when he reaches Washington. And
the work vet to be done is to regu-
late an uncertain currency, to secure
the colored race in their just rights,
still further reduce the rates of
transportation and add increased
facilities. The railroad problem is
very ably discussed, and with a
brave determination to meet the
future and clear discernment of its
needs, they state the plans under
consideration and propose to adopt
the best. Altogether, it is ringing
document, and shows how much the
magnificent old party has done, and
how necessary it is that it should
longer be trusted. The address is
signed by twenty-eight Congress
men.

which it was thought last night would termin-

new Odd Fellows Hall, on Main street, now
in course of erection, when approaching the
verge Of the sidewalk she lost her footing, and
was precipitated down the cellar into a pool

in falling. 1t is not known how long she re-
manned where she had fallen before being
discovered, being insensible at the time. She
now lies in precarious condition.

GOLDEN Truths FROM THE WHITE HoUsE.-
Serene as a summers day are those we'll
known and popular clothing men, Messrs.
Cohn & Isaacs, No. l6 south c street, Virginia.
The world wags well with them. People appre
ciate their goods approve of their prices; and
admire their style of doing business At the
WHITE HOUSE CLOTHING STORE are seen no
broils nor contentious with swindled custO
mers returning moth-eaten and inferior goods
No evasive prutestatiOns, that Il didn't sell II
to you" and Il didn'trecommend il" winding
up with your eyes We're your market, sir"
At the WHITE HOUSE old customers daily re-
turn, bringing their friends with them, who
also become good customers. Of course, to
some natures, it is very CALLING to see new
establishment like the WHITE HOUSE open
right under their noses, as il We're, and achieve
a marked and brilliant success; taking in the
very start high position in public esteem.
and gaining greater share of popular favor
and patronage than many houses that have
beed hammering away for years. However,
these old houses should learn to grin and
bear it. Messrs. Cohn X Isaacs do not allude
to these things in any spirit of pride or tri-
umph; they simply state facts for the public
good. They do not doubt that it is gall and
wormwood to their neighbors to have eusto-
mers of many years standing leave them and
give their patronage to the WHITE HOUSE
CLOTHING STORE, but manifestation of temper
is i'll very bad taste, and really has bad effect.
Being manifestly untrue it dissusts all hear
ers, and sends customers by scores to the
WHITE HOUSE. Such is life, So mote it be.

CLoUD-BURsT.-A terrible calamity
has befallen another Nevada town,
Austin, place of several hundred
inhabitants. On Tuesday evening,
at about $50 o'clock, cloud-burst
spent its fury on the Divide just
above that town, and torrent of
water, presenting a solid front of
eight feet, came rushing down
through the main street, carving
destruction to everything in its path.
Fortunately, the alarm was given in
time for the citizens to escape to the
hillsides, hence no lives are reported
lost. The damage TO property is
immense, hurried estimate placing
1t at something over 500, 900. Among
the heaviest losers are Ephriam &
Co., William Gibson, Triplett &

brewery, A. Sewer and z. Wallach.

Important Meeting.

On Saturday evening there is to
be a meeting of the Republican
County Central Committee, at Day
ton. One of the causes of calling
this meeting is vacancy in the
Committee, caused by the death of
Mr.. Wilson. This vacancy will be
filled on the occasion named, and
we learn there is considerable buzz
zing going on as to who shall be the
man to succeed him. We hope to
see harmony and good feeling pre-
vail in the Republican ranks
throughout all their meetings, as it
will insure success at the coming
election, whereas if contentious
arise, defeat is sure to be the result.
Let us work together for the best
men for office, with an eye for the
welfare of the State at large, and
Lyon county in particular.

Yesterday morning, says the Chron-

engin Ger at the Gould Il Curry mine
was hosting a cage containing two
ears heavily loaded with rock up
the main shaft, the large cog wheel
attached to the engine suddenly flew
in pieces, much in the same manner
as the fly-wheel at the Belcher mine
broke, on last Monday morning.
The wheel is about Is feet in diam
eter. The outside rim is of cast iron
and is about a foot wide by six
inches in thickness. The outside of
this rim is formed of heavy cogs,
which fit into those of smaller
wheel. Attached to the larger wheel
is drum, around which the wire
cable passes, and thence over the

mediately afterward the wire rope
parted and several of these men
made narrow escape from being
struck by the cable as it went flying
about through the air. A general
stampede took place, and they soon
got out of the way of danger. The
cage was left about 100 feet from the
mouth of the shaft and was saved
from falling to the bottom by pat
