From conversations with = NUMBERED
railroad employees, Ne learn that . giant
powder cartridge was found'on tho track
Of the Virginia and Truckse Railroad.
q abort distance south Of the short tun'
mel south Of Virginia City. about sf. \.
yesterday. The cartridge. which was
placed on The rail Of the track. was for
tunatsly discovered BY Philip Lughsn-
buhl. the section boss at Virginia. The
intsntion evidently was TO either blow
up or throw of the Las p. n. down train.
10 which the engine Nevada was a.
tachsd. The parties who gave the
above information could assign no res
SON Why such an attempt should b
made, nor give any clue to the party
who placed the cartridge on the track.
Such q thing could not 10 done with
the idea Of securing plumber. The moss

done by some one who wished TO be re-
vsngsd on the men running the train:
Whether or not . giant cartridge would
blow mp or ditch an spginsi II run over
BY IL, Is something Of which We have no
knowledge, but that such was the idea
Of tho party who pat II there Is evident:
This adds another 10 the long List OF
attompts that have lately been made In
this section to steal and destroy property.
and jeopardize human Life. That II vas
not successful was owing to the fortunate
circumstance Of Mr.. Lughenbuhl dis
covering the cartridge. Judging nom
the present aspect Of AFFAIR." tho authori-
tics cannot Be too vigilant, for II things
continue a. they have been running for
some time, the inevitable consequences
will DO to bring them into disrsputs.
We will not say that the interest OF any
one would DO served BY this result, still
