All for Love.
SAN JOSE, CAL, July "a.
This afternoon a young man named
Alvin @. WhitmOre committed suicide
in Hoover's stage stable, adjoining st.
through the heart. From a farewell
letter to his mother, found on his per-
son, together with a ote to a young
lady called Lilly, from Napa City, at
present attending the Normal school
here, it is evident the young man ~
not Just right in his mind. He blamed
her for throwing off on him. He quit
work last Saturday, since which time
he has been about town drinking more
or less and limiting at self-destructiOn,
and to a reporter he stated that
he would give him a good
item before to morrow, but his
manner was such that all supposed
he was testing. Just before he COM
mitted the fatal act he went to a barber
shop adjoining the stable and told the
barber to fix him up nicely, as he in
tended to kill himself, but the man
supposed it was merely talk, and paid
no attention to it. Soon after he went
around town and paid up several tri-
fling debts, and going to the rear of the
stable put the weapon to his breast and
sent a ball through his heart. Death
was instantaneous. He was a young
mar of good character and habits and
of a most respectable family. He was
a native of Jackson, Michigan.
The Ditched Train.
ELKo, July "a.
The wash-out on the Central Pacific
railroad yesterday, nine miles east of
here, caused the dltching of a freight
train consisting of fifteen cars. The
express train, which left here for the
East at $40, vas notified this side of
the wreck and returned here to wait
till the road is clear. AT 3 p. NJ, the
track being repaired, the train started,
been delayed twenty-five
hours. Tue wreck was a bad one the
cars being piled on top of each other,
and some broken to pieces. . The acct
dent will cause much loss to the COM
pany, but this cannOt be estimated till
wreck is cleared up. The rain fell
IN torrents all night, or the track would
been repaired much sooner

THIS item Is going the rounds Of the
Eastern papers: Deacon Parkinson
remarked in a prayer meeting in Car
son, Nevada, that he knew young
boys who went to saloons where their
fathers had credit, got bottles filled
with whisky, ostensibly for their par
ents, and got drunk on the liquor
themselves. He suggested earnest
prayers for those boys.

with precise logic, insisting that as the nation

was the best agent to restore peace and promote
prosperity throughout the Southern section. At
several points his argument trayerscl the tiled

in bis Trenton speech, and puEgcnt allusion
was made to the Pharisaical devotion of the
Senator to the letter Of the Constitution and to
the rights Of tue States when he found the na-

the poor and helpless colored citizens. The adj

u. D. Conway writes from Ostend to the Gin
cinuatt Commercial: The proud English gen
t1e.nen who would be Mortified at having their
wives and daughters bathe in the company OF
men ut Brighton or Scarborough, will at Ostend
allow them to bathe In company Of all Europe.
And the danes themselves, instead OF being shy
about it, take to the customs OF this country
with facility and eagerness which inspires
doubt as to whether the English are really at
tached to their institutions. # in the waters OF
Ostend there is any group OF girls daslAer or
sp1ashter than the rest, you may be sure they
are English. I think, indeed. q considerable
change has come over the young English girls
in recent years. and doubt whether Nathaniel
Hawthorne, were he now writing about England,
would remark so much her reserved folded-up
look and manner as contrasted with those OF the
American girl In her teens. But, however bud
like the English girl mag be when at home, she
can hold her own on the Continent against any
venture Of any kind, And I fear that all her
folded-upness when she gets back to London
only implies that che IS hypocrite.

Clarke said it was very difficult to assign any
reason for the appearance OF the horns, but
there was NO doubt that Capt. Hay had seen
them. Une way might be that they had been
inserted or inoculated into the face; but Capt.
Hay informed them that 1t was the object OF the
parents to remove the horns, which he regarded
as natural growth One suggestion was that
this was class of malformatlon, Of which there
was memorable example in the case Of the
"porcupine man. who had horny piaits on
from anybody any sufficient explanation with
regard either to its being natural phenomenon
arising at birth or its being artlicially produced
In the manner to which he had referred. It was
remarkable that the horns were peculiar to the
male sex. The subject was very obscure and
had not been sufficiently investigated By an
thropologists, because there we're great preju-
dices to taking it up.
