RUNAWAY CARs.-It is we'll known that
especial care is taken in bringing heavy
trains over the grade of the Sierras, and
| that runaway trains are seldom known.
| Very many eastern cars. from roads with
| light grades, are fitted with brakes in
sufficient in power or number for travel
over the heavy grades Of the mountains.
| When these come along it is often nee
| essary to put Central Pacific cars, which
| all have double brakes, and of the best
kind, between the eastern cars to hold
them. One Of these will hold four cas-
tern cars. Frequently empty cars are
run for this purpose. when no loaded
ones are available. A few days ago a
train of twenty three eastern cars loaded
cific Railroad. having been delayed some
time by the floods on the Union Pacific
Railroad. the contents being in danger
of total loss by delay. 1t was n large
train. and it was not possible to get in
mountain cars sufficient. as tho sequel
proved The train came along all right un-
Ill it struck 4 severe down grade near New
England Mills, where the brakes proved
insufficient to hold, and it acquired a
momentum which alarmed tho train
men. Two powerful locomotives at the
head were reversed. and svry e1ertion put
forth to check the speed, but without
avail. BY the time the train had gone
three miles, tearing around curves and
shooting down the grades, it was rum
ming Mt a speed estimated at fully forty
miles an hour. The men in charge had
settled upon the conviction that another
mile would put an end to their train
running forever. They were, however,
cool and collected, though facing death.
Suddenly a man sprapg out upon the
track and waved red flag, a signal to
stop. This added to the certainty of
conviction that a terrible accident must |
soon take place. Additional power was
evoked from the engines. additional eff |
forts made at the brakes with strength |
by desperation, and at last the |
speed began to slacken, and the train |
was brought to halt in time to prevent |
it dashinc into the wrecking train at !
work near Clipper Gap. Such was the
speed attained that Ii was not etfectually !
checked until the train had passed the
flag nearly mile. The signal was
made by the wreckers, and the man
sent with the flag went up the road
about a nile to do it-a greater distance
than is customary-a circumstance
which undoubtedly saved the train.
When the cars reached this city one of
he most skilled Of the railroad men cx-
,mined them carefully. and pronounced
t almost miraculous that the train ever
,ot over the grades in safety, such was
he character Of the Eastern brakes, and
heir small number upon the cars. All
acquainted with the circumstances ac-
ord the train men warm praise for the
manner in which the oyster train was
inallv safely brought to - destination.

SpE1sG1.-India rubber sidewalks are

SPRISG1.-India rubber sidewalks are
coming into fashion in the East. for
small towns they are admirable COM
bining economy with durability. The
first experiment was made in Danville,
Iowa, where three hundred yards were
put down on one of the principal streets.
All the boys in the place ran over it. but
there was no noise. A leading merchant
stepped IN front of his house, then
jumped on his heels: the elastic forces
hidden in the rubber threw him over the
gate on the roof of the piazza. But
after few trials he was able to alight on
the steps with the graceful accuracy OF
flying squirrel. The chief drawback Of
the walk Is its odorons familiarity in hot
weather, but it can be neutralized by a
weekly wash of bora1 and tar. Its
principal advantage is that it can be
stretched. As the town grows it is pull
led out toward the suburbs. Two yoke
of cattle can lengthen it three miles
day.

The BUSINESS done by the Car at Ber
lin is important. timely and excellent
Germany and France were making
threatening show of their war strength.
Two bitter enemies had half drawn thei,
pistols. England and Russia put :heir
heads together and determined to keep
the peace. 4 rote goes from DisraeG to
France insisting on peace. A similar
communication is received at Berlin.
Gortschskoff, speaking for his Russian
master, tells Bismarck that the Mus
covite and British powers will be hurled
in punishment against any power break
ing the peace. This il intended for the
ear of Berlin and Paris as well. The
war that has been averted-f indeed it
is avsrted-is a war involving all the
fighters of Europe. Such a tremendous
conflict cannot be afforded in any
quarter. The Northern Bear is capital
policeman, clumsy fighter though he be.
As to England, it is happy in an alliance
which enables it to induce Prussia to
keep the peace. Meantime little Bel
GUM bresthes free again.

HURRAH FOR THE KENTUCKY RE
PURLICANS.

The Republicans Of kentucky have
nominated strong ticket and put forth
q ringing platform. General Harlan is
the nominee for Governor, and Robert
Boyd for Lieutenant Governor. The
other nominations are strong and ac-
csptable.
The platform adopted by the Con-
vsntion is long. and reafirms faith in
Republican principles. approving the
financial policy of the Government. and
holding that the financial legislation of
Congress should be steadily directed to
the resumption Of specie payments Ct
the earliest date consistent with the
business interests of the country. 1t e1-
presses undated confidence in President
Grants patriotism and his devotion to
Republican principles. The thirteenth
resolution is as follows:
Resolved. That the attempt of the
Democratic leaders to create the impress
sion that our patriotic President desires
OF seeks reelection for a third term. is
an absurd device to disrupt the Republi-
can party and produce division between
it and the President. The charge has
no foundation in fact. and cannot mis-
lead the people of the country into the
of that party to power which
came SO near destroying the Union of
our fathers.

DECISION CONCERNING THE UNION
PACIFIC TERMINUS.

Des Moines. May 13.-In the United
States Circuit Court to-day. Judge Dill
Ion gave u decision in the Union Pacific
Railway terminus case. which was ar
gued before him last fall. He holds that
the legal and stipulated terminus of tho
road is on the Iowa shore of tho Hissou-
ri river. As to the bridge, he decides
that the owners have the undoubted
right to charge reasonable tolls. A su-
persedeas was issued in the case, and
the right of appeal will be argued before
the Supreme Court in October.
This is a righteous decision. The
travelling public need its final confrma-
ton. Until such confirmation is had
there can be no abatement of the rres-
ent nuisance at Omaha, with the two
changes Of cars and bother with baggage
checks. Under the present bunglesoms
arrangement Omaha is a jumping off
place and Baggage Smashers Paradise.
There is no reason that will square with
the civilization of the age Why the Paci-
fc Railway passenger should not be able
to check his baggage by any route of his
choosing from ocean to ocean instead Of
being obliged, as now, to wade the nasty
Missouri with his trunk on his back.

divided against him. and he will suffer the

it is only necessary to read the comments
