Wash.out on the Central Pacific

ELKo, New, July PA wash
out on the Central Pacific Rail-
road yesterday, twelve miles East
of here, caused the destruction of
a freight train consisting oftwelve
cars. The express train which
left here for the East at $50 P. NJ,
was tagged this side of the wash
out and returned, to wait until
the road is clear. having been de-
layed IL hours. The wreck is
very bad one, the cars are piled
on top Of each other and much
broken. This accident will cause
much loss to the company, but
this cannot be estimated until the
wreck is cleared up. Rain fell in
torrents all night or the track
would have been repaired much
sooner.

southern portion of the town is a

large canal has proved sufficient to
carry any amount of water thro'

damage will amount to $4,000.

where game is more abundantand
grass plenty. The Indians try to
burn the grass of the valleys,
which makes it almost impossible
for Crook to follow them at once.
His force now numbers about 1900
regular soldiers and citizen volun-
teers, besides 200 Snake Indians,
and he says he can at least hold
his own on any ground the Indi-
ans might select. It is expected
that provisions will be kept on the
Tongue river, near the mountains
where pack trains loaded with
from fifteen to twenty days "a
tions are available. Careful adj
vances will Immediately follow.
It is not thought advisable for
Crooks and Terry's forces to join
provisions or ammunition or 9TH
er commands. 1t is thought that
the Indians would make a stand
against one column and that they
would engage them and having
the other column as a reserve to
either fight or follow up, some
thing decisive may be expected
during the summer campaign.
The enemy are supposed to be
near Ash Creek and Little Big
Horn, not far from the Montana
and Wyoming line, thirty or for.
ty miles from Crooks present
camp.

TICKING OF THE WATCH.

Have you ever lain at the solemn
hour of midnight. or later, in the "wee
sma' hours when all the household
were slnmbering, with wide open,
sleepless eyes, thinking OF some de-
parted joy, regretting some mistake,
grieving over some misunderstanding
or by some strange, cruel fascination
of self torture, tearing open some old
wound to bleed afresh, and all through
the busy day is kept securely BAH
daged? And then, when Thought had
grown in.olerable, has your attention
suddenly been arrested by the ticking
of the watch underneath your pillow
Tick, tick, tick, faster almost, than
you can count-tick, tick. tick. And
did you think with what wonderful
the seconds are flying off into
minutes, the minutes into hours, the
hours into days, the days into weeks,
the weeks Into months, the months IN
to years? And In little while it is
all over, all the heat and the burden,
the restless striving, the heart-aches,
the perished hopes and ambitions, all
laid aside. Oh, but happiness is such
a glorious thing, we say, and our
hands tremble and grow feverish with
the longing to grasp it. One moment
it is jnst within our reach. the next, q
breath of air tosses it taway-away,
away from our outstretched hands,
and we sigh and moan over our dis
and chafe and worry
and fret nnder the discipline. We
cannot see the good of all this chisel-
ing we undergo, and We can only hope
aud believe that we shall finally come
from the hand of the great Sculptor
noble and symmetrical in our devel-
the souls mortal long
ings, its baflled hopes shall become
dim in the light of those infinite long
ings, which spread over it, soft and

! Some fourteen wears ago two chill.
dren of Mr.. Calvin Upton, aged five
and seven years respectively, died Of
scarlet fever and were bnried on tie
lot now vacant, corner of Fourth street
and Second avenue. 1t was at first
intended to remove the bodies to the
East. and to preserve the remains the
interior of each coffin was lined with
zinc, the top being soldered in place in
order to make it air tight. The coffins
were buried deep, and were laid upon
the solid limestone rock which UNDER
lies the sol in that vicinity. A few
days ago Mr.. Upton decided to have
the bodies of his children removed to
Springdale Cemetery, and to this end
the coffins were disinterred and were
found to be remarkably well preserv-
ed-but unusually heavy-so weighty,
in fact, that it required two men to
lift either of the little caskets. This
fact did not at first attract attention,
however, and the bodies were duly
inferred in the Cemetery without be-
ing examined,
A day or two after the second in
terment one os our physicians learned
ofthe peculiar fact attaching to the
little coi1ins, aud through his urging
Mr.. Upton permitted the cofhns to be
again taken up and opened, when the
spectators, including several doctors,
were greatly astonished TO notice the
good state of preservation within the
caskets. The features were white and
regular in form, the clothing was un-
decayed, and even some natural flow
ers which were placed in one tiny
hand upon the peaceful breast were
as fresh in appearance as when they
were placed there fourteen years agol
Upon touching the face, the physicians
were still further astonished by the dis
covery that the bodies, by some chem
ical action, had been transformed into
a hard substance resembling white
soap. The face when touched, we
were told, "felt jHst like. soap" and
the unusual weight OF the caskets In
dicated that a sort of petrifaction had
also taken place. No extended ex-
animation of the remains was made,in
Difference to the friends of the dead
children, and the bodies were again
consigned to the grave.
1t is supposed that the caskets were
some time air tight, but that finally
the lime water forced its way inside,
and by one>of those curious chemical
processes peculiar to natures labora-
tory produced the results noted.
These circumstances which are even
yet but little known in the commune
ty, will be interesting to the scientific
world. and will 10 doubt occasion
much discussion when the facts be-
come current.

THE EVENING HEARrH-srONE.

Gladly now we gather round it
For the toiling day is done.
And the gay and solemn twilight
Follows down the golden sun.
Shadows sengtlien on the pavement.
Stalk like giants through the gloom,
Wander past the dusky easement.
Creep around the firc-lit room.
Draw the curtain, clbse the shutters,
Place the slippers near the fire.
Though the loud wind rudelv mutters.
What care we for wind sprite's ire?
What care we for outward seeming?
Fickle Fortunes frown or smile?
II around us love is beaming,
Love can human ills beguile.
Meath the cottage roof and palace.
From the peasant to the king.
All arc quafling from life's cahlice
Bubbles that enchantment bring.
Crates are glowing, music flowing,
From the lips we love the best;
Oh. the joy. the bliss of knowing
There are hearts whereen to rest?
Hearts that throb with eager gladness-
Hearts that echo to our own
While grim care and haunting sadness
Mingle ne'er in look or tone.
Care may tread the halls of daylight.
Sadness haunt the IN midnight hour,
But the wierd and witching twilight
Brings the glowing hearths tones dover.
Altar of our holiest feelings!
ChildhoOd's well-remembered shrine
Spirit t-yearnings-soRl- l-revealings-
Wreathes immortal round thee twine!

GETTING THEIR START.

Living in Kansas City, a respected
and wealthy merchant, is Greenup
Bird, an old resident of Missouri, and
one of the best men in the State. In
1876 he was banker at Liberty, Clay
County, town not ten miles from
the home of the James boys.
One day, while he and his son Will
liam were alone in the bank, three
men entered and asked him to change
$40 note. He took the bill and step
ped to side table to procure the
change, and, on returning, was met
with q revolver presented to his face.
He realized that he was in the power
of men who would not hesitate mo-
ment to take his life, il necessary.
What followed can be told in almost
q word. The robbers leaped over the
counter. and, while Mr.. Bird and his
son were guarded by one, the others
secured 81 600 from the vault, the door
of which, unfortunately, was standing
open. The banker and his son were
then hastily thrust into the the vault,
and the door closed. The robbers
then fed, mounting their horses which
were ia charge of associates in the
street. They dashed down the princi-
pal street Of the town, the people
looking on in wonder, not knowing
what had happened. The younger
Bird succeeded in opening the door OF
the vault and rushing to the window
