THE BEAUTIFUL MANIAC.
Scene On Board Virginia Train OF CRrS-A
Hard-Hearted PASSENGER.


In the morning train from Pittsburg,
there was lady closely yelled, in the
same car, She was dressed In the
purest white, wore gold bracelets and
evidently belonged to The higher circles
of society. Her figure was delicate and
exquisitely symmetricalj and when she
occasionally drew aside her richly en-
broidered veil the glimpse OF her
features which the beholder obtained
satisfied him OF her extreme lovellness.
Beside her sat q gentleman In deep
mourning, who watched over her with
unusual solioitude, and several times
when she attempted to rise he excited
the curiosity Of the passengers by de-
tanning her In her seat.
Outside of the cars all was confusion
passengers looking to baggage, porters
running, oabmen ourslng, and all the
usual hurry and Dustle attending the de-
parture Of railroad train. One shrill,
warning whistle from the engine and we
moved slowly away.
At the first motion OF the oars, the lady
In white started to her feet with one
heart-piercing scream, and her bonnet
falling off disclosed the most lovely fea-
lures ever contemplated. Her raven
tresses fell over her shoulders in grace
full disorder, and clasping her hands in
prayer she turned her dark eyes TO
heaYenl What agony was in that
lookI What beauty, too, what heav-
emily beauty, had not so much OF mis-
cry been stamped upon it. Alas! that
one glance told melancholy tale.
Her brother, the gentleman In black,
was unremitting In his efforts to soothe
| her. He led her back to her seat; but
her hair was still unbound, and her
beauty unveiled. The cars ratified on,
and the passengers in groups resumed
| their conversations. Suddenly melody
arose, it was the beautiful MANAGES 8
voice, rich, full and inlmltable. Her
hands were crossed on her heaVlne
bosom, and she waved her body as she
sang with touching pathos-
She is far from the land where her young herr
sleeps,
And lovers are around her signing,
But coldly she turns from their gtze aud weeps
For heP heart In his grave is lylnGl
She sings the wild songs Of her dear nativ
| plains,
All! little they think who delight in her strains
How the heart OF the minstrel is breaking!
Her brother was unnamed, and wep
as only man can weep, The air changed
and she continues:
| Has sorrow thy young heart shaded,
AS clouds o'6r the morning fleet!
Too fast have those young days faded,
That even in sorrow were sweet!
II thus the unkind world Wither,
Each feeling that once was dear;
Come, child Of misfortune, come hither,
| Pll weep with you tear for tear!
She then sung fragment Of beau
tiful hymn

The Sutro tunnel Is to be surveyed
and the company's rights determined.
Chas. +. Hoffman, Deputy United
States Surveyor, has been appointed
by the Surveyor General to do the
work. Su4ro's franchise gives him
1000 feet on each side OF the line of the
tunnel, or 2,00i feet from the center
line, the tunnel being eight feet in
width. The work OF the survey will
begin day. From the center monu-
ment, about $50 feet east of the center
line of the tunnel, measurements will
he made 1904 feet north and south
and the same will be done from a
point near Mount Emma and from a
point near Shaft No. 4. 1t will require
about two months for Mr.. Hoffman to
complete the work.
A new system of blackmail, says the
Carson Tribune, has made itself known
in Virginia within the past month or
Two. and the vein has been worked
probably. Disreputable women place

BILE that they never heard of the wo-
man before. TIE officer says he has

court. Rather than subject himself to
the publicity which newspapers will
give him, the victim opens his purse
and pays the baseless bill.
Says the Reno Journal: l.. p.
Drexler, the we'll known broker, of
Virginia, and Mr., superintendent
of the Justice mine, visited Pyramid a
day or two ago, in company with j..
I'll. Kinkead, with whom they are in
terested in the Jones claim i'm that dis
trict. They were much pleased with
what they saw, and gave it as their
opinion that Pyramid would surely
develop into a first class mining camp.
The prospect was a finer than they
had ever seer in all their mining expe.
rience.
1t is reported about town, says the
Austin Rereilte, that the of the
Bunker Hill property, situated in
Smoky Valley, near Minium's station,
on the Belmont road. are about To de.
velope their mine. 1t is said there is
sufficient ore in sight TO pay for the
working thereof. This ledge has not
been worked since 1866, the White
Pine excitement having tempted those
who were then working it to go in
search Of a better prospect.
James Huber, says Thursdays ST.
Ue1' State, who was shot yesterday,

The messenger on the train which
was robbed last week on the Utah Cen

GOVERNOR TILDEN AND THE
TWEED RING

So far from joining in the crusade
against Tweed only after the ring be-
came unpopular as asserted by reck-
less Republican papers, Mr.. Tilden in
point Of fact inaugurated the move
ment which led to the overthrow OF the
Tweed ring. For it is a matter Of his
tory:
I. That Mr.. Tilden began the at
tack on the Tweed ring.
II. That he began the attack when the
ring Was at the height of its power,
aud was in complete control of every
branch of the city and State govern
ments.
III. That, while enjoying n OF
the largest and most lucrative legal
practices in the country, he gave up
sixteen months of his time to the
work Of destroying this powerful
combination.
". That he finally succeeded in
turning 10000 Democratic voters
against tand overthrow it.
V. That his personal investiga-
lions furnished almost every item of
legal proof on which the suits against
Tweed and his guilty confederates were
founded, and that he arranged the ma
chinery by which these suits were
brought.
VI. Tha. he drove Tammany
judges from the bench, and perfected
legislation by which official plumber
ers might be punished.

Is FLORIDA A DOUBTFUL STATE?-
Florida is sometimes put among the
doubtful States by those who under
take to force Isl the result of the ap-
preaching presidential election, but
there is no reason for so CHASING it.
The Democrats have an undoubted
majority on a fair vote, and will have
an additional advantage this time in
the d~issension which exists in the Re-
publican ranks. The Republicans
have two full State tickets in the field
and are industriously engaged in cut
ting each others Threats. The Dem
ocrats have put one of the most popu
lar men in the State at the head of
their ticket, and there is every indica-
ton OF his receiving a very large ma
jority.

THE Chicago Courier says that
Morton has sounded the Radical "key-

party that elects him is" This is pre-
cisely what we have contended all
along. The Republican party has
made Grant what lie is, and the Re-
publican party is, therefore, response
BILE for Grantism. And having Sc
duced the virtuous and stubborn
Grant, what will the Republican party
do with Hayes?

Frightful Railroad Accident.

Frightful Railroad Accident.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Sept %.
A most frightful accident occurred
early this morning at Black Lick Sta
ton on the Panhandle railroad, about
IL miles from here. The train was run
ming at the rate of 40 miles an hour
when the four rear cars jumped the
track and rolled down an embank-
ment25 or 80 feet, getting badly broken
in the fall. Wrecking trains with
physicians were Immediately sent
from this city, and the killed and
wounded were brought here and placed
in hotels. -Four persons are known to
have been killed outright, two men
and two children. One is the son of
s. p. Bennett, of Cairo, ILL.,; another is
Lizzie Bancroft, of Philadelphia, three
years old. The wounded can not be
enumerated, a. many took the regu-
lar trains for home without reporting,
but it Is estimated that 80 or 40 were
more or less injured, and some OF
