THE PLEASANT VALLEY ROAD
Culpable Delay of the Commissioners OF
Highways.

The case of the new Pleasant Valley
road is to be reopened and tried Oh Thurs
day next. The commissioners hope to re-
duce the damages thereby. 1t looks more
like a disposition to put off building it
until absolutely compelled to do SO.
There has all along been opposition to this
road and from a careful examination of the
status of the case there has been 70 good
ground for it. There seems to be dispo-
sition to study private interests in prefer
ence to public benefit The road has been
laid out and damages assessed, and now
because Grinnell and Hunt object the pub
lie must be deprived of the use of the road
until these parties are thoroughly satisfied
no matter what may be their require
ments, The Hunt claim has already been
decided against the contestants, which
ought to satisfy them. Then Deere must
object, Of course, unless the line is changed
The taxes have been levied and collected
long ago for this road; the damages were
included in the levy and the money col
lected cannot be used for any other pur-
pose. Why has not the road been fin
ished long ago? 1t is nothing more or les
than dodge to gain time. The laxity o

A Colorado Heroine.

A Denver lady was the other night COM
peeled to do a very unlady-like thing.
There was an invalid gentleman sleeping
in one part of the house, and her chamber
was in another quarter, and these two
were the sole occupants of the premises
that night. She heard so melody tying
to get into her room through one of the
windows, and wanting to catch the m at il
did not scream and faint away. She had
no doubt it was a robber, and she could
not call to the inv lid without frightening
her game. Besides, she thought a sick
man would be of no use in such an eX-
tremity. The lady went to dresser in
her room and got long, sharp butcher
knife that happened to be there. and went
TO the window and waited. Atlength the
intruder was about to step into the room,
and she attacked him with drawn knife,
daringly dispuIing his entrance. She
slashcd right and left at him on the win
dOw-silI while he called to his confederate
beneath the window. At length she gave
him deep one in the chest and he fell
back and TO the ground. The confederate
dragged his friend off and into the dark
ness, and the lady returned TO her slum-
bers and was disturbed no more that
night. In the morning it was found that
the intruder had bled Ikea stuck pig. both
on the window and in the yard below, and
il was hoped some Denver doctor would
report a man with bad wound in his
chest, but no one had done so at last ac-
counts The people had special interest
in il. because it has been long time since
the police have been able To arr ST bur
glar and the town is iull of them. There
is hard 3 another woman in the world who
would have done what the brave Denver
lady did, and therefore her act is unlady
like and she is called "a Colorado heroine.

A Paper-Mill Disaster.

The terrible explosion of the paper mill
near Iowa City, on the night of the 22d,
a brief report of which was sent to the As
ISOLATED Press, is even worse that il ap-
peared at first. Six men were killed in
stead of five, as telegraphed last night.
The mill, which is owned principally
by Mr.. Close. is situated at Coralville,
three miles from Iowa City proper. The
noise of the explosion was distinctly
heard here, nearly every body thinking it
was an earthquake. The sound was so
loud as to create the greatest consterna-
ton. 1t was not long until the real truth
of the disaster was known, and soon every
one was fiOcking toward the scene of the
horror. Thousands of people remained
up all night on the ground-assisting in
the search for the DO lies of the killed.
The disasters is supposed to have been
caused by the pulp in the cooking vat hav-
ing choked up the escape valve or pipe.
The explosion was in the smaller or two
story part of the large mill. There We're
two men and a boy in the lower room, and
four men asleep in the second story. OF
those in the lower room the two men were
killed outright. The other, the boy, stood
within six feet of his father. The father
was literally mashed to a pulp, and his
DON1 VI buC
ing, while his son, standing but six feet
from him, was entirely uninjured. This
boy was found, by the parties first arriv-
ing on the ground, to be perfectly speech
less and dumb-incapabIe of utterlng a
word or making sign. When doctor
arrived he gave the boy some stimulsnts
or relaxatiyes. In about five minutes
thereafter the youth suddenly jumped
high in the air, screaming wildly-seem-
ingly having just recovered consciousness
and power of speech. He could recollect
nothing, only that he was standing near
his father. He does not know how he
got out of the mill, nor can he tell any
thing about it.
The four men in the upper story were
all killed-the bodies of some of them
blown an astonishing distance. The body
of one could not be found for some time.
AT last it was discovered in a paint shop.
diagonaIly across the street. II had come
down through the roof, breaking three
rafters, and forming hole large enough
TO admit hogshead. Nothing else than
the mans body was found in the building.
So that the unfortunate mans body must
have been blown TO prodigious height to
have gained such terrific momentum in
descending. The body was literally a
jelly.
Immense timbeIs that four men could
not have lifted were blown five or fix hum
bred feet. A portion of one of the ex-
ploded tanks, weighing several tons, was
carried four or FIVE hundred feet, landing
in the river. Luckily the main building
was not hurt, the explosion spreading it
self in directions such as to spare il en-
rely. Had it been in range of the terri
bic missiles, it, too, would have been
blown TO atoms, and many more lives lost.
The two-story building is a complete

wreck--and the total money loss is about
Sa5. 900. Over $780, 900 are invested in the
mill-the daily manufacture of paper be-
Ing about five tons.
There are two or three other large mills
at the same water po*er-a large oatmeal
mill and one or two extensive flour mills:
Almost every evening heretofore 1t had
been the custom of the employees OF the
other establishments to gather in and
about the paper mill of the evening, that
being run day and night. At the end Of
the two-story building were some seats,
forming the inevitable lounging place
where forty or fifty men were in the habit
of meeting every night. The night of faie
it so happened that not man was in that
place. Almost any other night forty or
fifty more men would have been killed.
But the calamity Is terrible enough. Its
weight of woe falls upon those all unable
to bear It. One of the men killed leaves a
family of nine children, and three others
of them, also, left families.-Des Moines

Successful Trip from England to Amer
lea in a Small Yacht.

The voyage across the Atlantic from
east to west has just been made by what
is believed to be the smallest craft which
has ever attempted or accomplished the
journey. Several miniature vessels have
crossed from this side, but the return trip,
it is thought, has never been made. The
yacht in question, the Effort, 15.9 tons
burden. OF Greenock, Scotland, arrived at
st. John, y. B., on SATURDAY., having left
Fleetwood, England, on May 30. Wester-
" winds, with heavy weather, prevailed
until June 5, on which date at midnight
heavy gale sprung up from the south
with heavy weather and rain. Then the
wind hauled round TO w. by N, and a
heavy cross sea had to be contended with.
Through all the little craft did nObly, and
did not ship a sea. Other gales were ex-
perienced at different times during the
forty nine days the voyage lasted, and
Captain Hugh Hesketh, the commander,
says he never experienced such rough
weather before. The Effort is 50 feet in
length, 10 feet wide, 61 feet deep, and is
fitted with two engines of six-horse pow
er, working on the screw shaft diagonally
from either side. She is schooner rugged
with a square fOresail, but was originally a
sloop, and has one deck. She was con-
structed by Edward Kerr, in 1865, and
is consequently seven years old. The
cabin and engine-rOom extend nearly
the whole length of the vessel. The out
side planking is of pitch-pine, and the
timbers of oak. She came out under sail,
her screw being unshipped. There was
no chronometer on board, her position
being determined by lunar observations, a
thing seldom done. She was steered by
tiller, and was very easily managed. In
stormy weather her behavior was better
than in an ordinary chop, as in the latter
she jumped about considerably. The
wind was unfavorable during almost the
entire voyage, and the highest rate of
speed attained was six knots an hour.
The crew consisted of Hugh Hesketh,
captain; John Lightbody, mate; Thoma,
Hesketh, IA years old; William Hesketh,
II years old; one cat, name not given

One weighed nearly, and the other over

They were of the cling variety, but as

How Wowan Suffrage Works In Wy.
Omfng.

The Laramie Sentinel SAYS: tbs pretty
well known to the old pioneers that the
Sentinel advocated woman's suffrage here
in Wyoming, and stood by it pretty faith
fully, in its infancy, and in those times
when II was in jeopardy from its enemies.
We never advocated it from Just the same
standpoint that Miss Anthony and Mrs.
woodruff do. nor did we ever expect it
would be attended by just the same class
Of results which they anticipate for it. We
never supposed women, as a separate and
distinct party, or as individuals, would
reap any special benefits from it, aside
from the common interest they have with
the community at large in having good
laws and efficient government, and in this
we are not disappointed. And we refer
briefly to the subject now because there
are so many newcomers here who have
not had an opportunity to watch the prac-
teal working of this experiment.
To us the novelty has worn off, and we
have had time to coolly estimate the re-
suits. There are those here who can re-
member the condition of things six or
seven years ago, and can compare them
with the present, and though we might
differ somewhat as to the causes which
have produced this change for the better,
vet we shall be able 10 agree upon few
facts.
We never had term of court here, held

proceedings marked throughout by de-
cency and decOrum. and Invested of every

We never had grand jury here that

composed largely of ladies.
We have had several terms OF court. but
had scarcely been able to convict or pun
ish a single criminal for any crime, how
ever heinous, through the medium OF
those courts, till we got juries composed
largely of women.
We did not have a single election here
without drunkenness, rowdyism, quarrel

wives, mothers, sisters and daughters were
permitted to accompany US to the polls.
| We well remember the time when many d
man STAYED away from the polls, losing his

A Clergyman Repulsed.


The baleful influence Of the Beecher
scandal has destroyed tie confidence hith-
erto reposed in the cloth. In the rural
districts this effect Is alarmingly noticea-
bic. On Sunday last this distrust de
prived an estimable Westchester matron
of the opportunity, to her most dear. of
attending divine service in the church of
her choice. The scene is pleasant little
village not far from MI. kisco, and the
minister and the lady are near neighbors,
their respective res licences being separated
only by the width of the main street.
The minister is middle aged, good ma
ture1, and a favorite. IL was his custom
every Sunday to give his estimable parish
Toner seat in the family carriage, so that
she might not have to walk half mile to
the church. On Sunday the dominic S
carriage drew up in front of the lady S
door. She wss waiting, and, bustling
down, prepared to get in, declining the
parsons prOffered aid. Suddenly she no
riced that he was alone. Where is your
wife?" she asked abruptly. "She is not
well enough to go to church TO day." was
the reply. Where is your daughter y
was the next query, aud the answer was,
" She stayed at home to take care OF her
mother" An instSnt of hesitation fol
lowed. Then the lady turned her back
upon her pastor, saying, guess won't
go TO church with you; there is so much
scandal about nowadays" She is ninety
years of age.-N y. S,en.
