Railroad Collision in Nevada.

CARSON, January 17th.-A collision
occurred on the Virginia and Truc1ee
Railroad, at about $3.50 last evening,
one mile below the American Flat
scales. The up train for Carson, when
near the Baltic switch, a short dis
tance from Gold Hill, broke coup
ling, and three rear cars ran back on
the down grade, the hindmsst loaded
with pig-iron., The brakemen jumped
off without injury, also the conductor.
The first part of the train dashed on to
Gold HILL They telegraphed to the
man at the scales to turn the switch
and run the cars off the track, knowing
a train was coming with which col
lision was inevitable, unless the runa-
way cars were turned off the track.
For some reason the switch was not
turned and the collision occurred. The
coming train consisted of nine cars,
including one passenger car and two
the former in advance. Clifford, the
engineer'of the Comstock, says the
loose cars came at speed of sixty
miles an hour. He shut off steam,
whistled down the brakes, and the
fireman, brakeman and engineer
jumped off without injury. The pig
iron car struck the Comstecls, stove in
her boiler and swept off her smoke
stack. She was wrecked. The shock
was heard at. Gold Hill, two miles dis
tant. The pig-iron car was knocked
into klndiing wood. No lives were
lost, although the up train was con-
Siderably injured.

who furnished the money to build the
road. The road being completed, be-
longs to the stockholders Almostany
good road will pay twenty-five per
cent. per annum on its original cost.
Of course the stock of such a road is in
demand, and everybody wants it. The
owners get together, on the sig, and
raise the capital stock of the company
from one million to four millions.
Three millions more of stock is now
struck off and divided between the
stockholders. Now they are ready to
sell stock, and they will sell at s0or9 80
cents on the dollar. Everybody is
astonished that the stock of such q
railroad is down so low. and 1t is soon
whispered around that the road is not
paying over six per cent. on the capi-
tai stock. In reality it is paying
twenty-four per cent OH its actual cap
ital stock, but the additional three
millions of watered stock now comes
in for q dividend. We know of but
two roads in the United States that
have not been managed by these water
doctors-the Baltimore and Ohio and
the Texas Central. These two roads
are upon firmer basis and doing a
better business than any other roads
on the continent. And the reason is
obvious : The original stockholders
were honest men and do business ON
correct principles. Besides, railroad
stock is a taxable commodity, and
these watered stock chaps have to pay
tax on their stock, thank the Lord.
We know it is wicked to rejoice over
the misfortune Of anyone; but we can
bear the misfortune of those fellows
with great Christian fortitude. If we
are not mistaken, there viii be no
more watered stock in the United
States after the next Congress meets.
BE that as it may, we know the men
who have chief control of this road at
present, and we hope they will keep
control. They do not deal in watered
stock, and have no use for men who do.

THE rain storm is apparently over
and yesterday morning the sun came
ont warm and bright. Our rain
gauges differ, but it is safe to say that
not less than ten nor more than eleven
inches of rain have fallen in this
valley within the last four days. This
is sufficient for the present. 1t has
shortened up many long faces, and
will add q few millions in wealth and a
few thousands in population to the
possessions Of Los Angeles county.
The farmers now. assure. us that good
crops are insured, even though moth
ing more than the usual Spring show
ers fall. 1t is probable, however, that
we shall have four or five more inches
of rain between this and the last of
April, in which case, Southern Cali
fornia will be blessed with one Of her
most favorable seasons.
