DIR. MARY WALKER BouNcETi- ~, ash
ington, March 22.-The Treasury Depart
ment has another sensation, DR.. Mary
Walker is standing Office seeker. For years
her boomers have lowered about antc-rooms
of different Secretaries, until shc has become
such n bother that Secretary Sherman made
an order to the adoorkecper that she be no
longer admitted to any part Of the departmet.
To-day she slipped by, and had reached tho
aute-chambor of tho Seorctary.v Word was
at once passed to the venerable gray bearded
man who guards the main door in Fifteenth
street. He walked up to the second floor,
and ut once told DR.. Mary she must go
away. "You go to hell" answered Dr.
Mary, vigorously ~ shall do nothing ofshS
scrt." At this the doorkeepcr made d fee,
bic pass at her, as he said, "Come now, you
come out of that" At this suggestion Of
violence DR.. Mary jumped and clacked her
heels together twice as she dropped her
hand upon hip pocket, saying "You lny
hand on me and will shoot you" Tho
doorkeeper saw chance for flank move
mcnt lie seized DR.. Mary's right wrist
and then passed his venerable arm about her
waist. He then began to propel her toward
the street. DIR. Mary kicked his shins all
the way and yelled murder, greatly to tho
amusement of persons in the Railways
After he had pilotcd her to tn l., street he ap-
olosized for his forced rough treatment. and
said that her importantly had brought it
about. He asked her to pardon him, but
DR.. Mary refused, bitterly saying that tho
country should yet ring with this outrage
committed upon frec-born American cit
izen.

MINING TAILINGs.-On the 80th of
March, 1875, George Atkinson brought
suit against the Sacramento and Amador
Canal Company for damages in the sum
of $4,000, on account of the washing
down upon his land of tailings from the
mining claims of the company which ad-
join his land. He also alleged that they
had been guilty of gross negligence in
permitting their reservoirs to break, del
uging his land and destroying much val
liable property. Since that time the case
has dragged along until to-day, when it
came up for hearing in the Sixth Dis
trict Court. Judge Warren L. Sexton
presided, Judge Dens on being disqualified
because he was one of the plaintiffs orig
inal attorneys in the action. A. P. Catlin
and Edgerton, Tubbs q Cole appeared
for the plaintiff, while the defendant was
represented by Creed Raymond, w. G..
Belcher and Ben Bullard, Jr.
Mr.. Raymond announced that he was
ready to proceed to trial but that Mr..
/ Belcher, associate counsel in the case,
had not yet arrived, and while they
awaited his coming plaintiff was allowed
to correct his complaint in some instances
where clerical errors had occurred. One
Of these was a mistake in date and
another the description of property not
owned by the plaintiff and the omission
Of other property belonging to him.
Mr.. Raymond suggested that special
issues be submitted to the jury and pre-
sented a list which he had prepared
promising by stating that the present case
was similar to that of Crum VS.. the
Spring Valley Flume Company. Mr.
Catln objected to such action at the pres
ent time, on the ground that it would only
lead to confusion among the jurors, and
because the Court could not rightly de.
termne what are the special issues. In
this view Judge Sexton concurred and
the motion was overruled.
After the jurors had been called re-
cess was taken till eleven o'clock.
The Court re-assembled at that time
when Mr.. Belcher appeared and declared
that he wasn't ready to go to trial. Al
adjournment was then had until 10 o'clock
to o-morrow. SdcTdn1e entO Bee.

The Inter- ocean says that General
Joe Shelby, Confederate cavalryman,
has caused much excitement in st. Louis
by taking the position that, in event Of
the disagreement of the two Houses OF
Congress on the Presidential question,
President Grant is the most authoritative
exponent of the wishes Of the govern
ment, and his decision in favor Of Hayes
or Tilden will be final. If he should de-
eide in favor Of Hayes, and the Dem
ocrats should attempt to inaugura te Til
den, General Shelby declares that he and
thousands of ex- -Confederates will be for
Hayes and against Tilden. The position
is a novel one and General Shelby seems
to enjoy the commotion he has caused
Colonel A. w. Slayback, another Mis-
souri, ex- Confederate, indorses the views
of General Shelby and declares that he
has no confidence in Northern Democrats

LAND AND WATER Elsewhere we
have given brief sketch of the fearful
railroad accident in Ohio. and the same
mail brought the details of fearful loss
of life by shipwreck off the coast of Long
Island. The ship CfrcaSSian was wreck
ed on the night of December 30th and OF
the 80 persons on board but four were
saved. The remaining % lashed them
selves to the masts, which were of iron
and when by the violence of the waves
the masts went over the sides they sank
Immediately with their loads of human
life. The shore, only six hundred feet
distant was lined with men anxious to
give relief, but every boat that was
launched was driven back upon the
beach, and their exertons thus rendered
poweress.

VOLUME XXI.

With the present issue the WEEKLY
TRINI1Y JOURNAL enters upon its Twen-
ty. Second Year and Volume. In the
past, we believe the JOURNAL has ever
compared favorably with its cotcmpor-
aries not more favorably situated, and
has gained for itself the reputation of be-
ing the best local paper ofthe State. To
maintain this position will be our aim in
the future, and that we may be enabled
10 do so, we invite the cooperation OF the
people of Trinity County. Much OF the
prosperity Of community depends upon
the efforts of its local paper, the success
of which is necessarily governed by the
patronage it receives. For the liberal
support given the Journal IN the past,
we are truly thankful, and respectfully
solicit continuance of the same during
the year upon which we have just entered.

MEASURING THE Mr..
George A. Fairchild, of the Coast
Survey is engaged in transcontinental
trianguation. The object of this survey
is to determine the length OF the 39th par
allel from the Atlantic to the Pacific
coast, and which will connect the surveys
of the two coasts lines. 1t will also shape
the earth's surface, and then all these
data for the surveys of the different
states. This will be the longest triangu-
l.tioo ever made in any country, the
distance being some 5000 miles. Eleven
measurements Of degrees fol the determi-
nation of the curvature of the earlh
surface have been made by other coun-
tries, nine only belongs Ia the present
century. The present t'ahgulaIioh
across the continent was CONN. en-" "ed sew
era years ago. On the Atlant!c coast
the starting point was on the Chcsap lake,
and the triangulation is completed to H.
per's Ferry, and from the latter point
special reconnaissance has been made to
the Ohio river, striking it on the 39th
parallel, Going east from the Pacific
coast survey, is in charge of the triangu-
lation from point above San Francisco
to the Sierra Nevada. Some three or
four years ago the survey was started at
st. Louis, wolking both ways to join the
work from the cast md west.

PERILs OF THE RAIL.-The close of
the year was signalized in Ohio by one of
the most fearful railroad accidents yet
recorded. A train of cars seven in num-
light throwing Il faint glare upon the
track but few feet ahead through the
driving snow, and the train moving at the
rate of but ten miles an hour. The night
WAS one Of the widest of the year. In
crossing Ashtabula Creek the iron bridge
spanning that stream, 10 feet long and
IS feet in height above the stream went
down and the loss of human life was ter
rible. The cars broke through the leo
and the water of the creek came gurg-
ling up, the fires from the stoves caught
in the painted wood work and many OF
those who escaped death by the crash
were burned in the flames or drowned in
Il icy waters of the stream. OF more
than 100 known to oe on board, only SO
are thus far reported saved and the death
list will only be known when the names
Of the living are ascertained. The bridge
was regarded as one of the safest struct-
ures Of the road, having been frequently
tested by the heavy trains and in some
instances double-trains passing at the
same time. The weather was intensely
cold but the work Of rescuing the wound.
ed and recovering the dead goes bravely
on, "A large force Of citizens with a com.
petent corps Of physicians having gone
down from Cleveland at the first inteli
gence of the calamity. OF the dead re,
covered few or none are recognizable.- -
Several returning Californians are among
the sufferers.

A HERALD reporter interviewed w.
A. Wheeler, now stopping at New York
upon the subject of compromise
Wheeler said the endeavors were absurd
The sutfrages of the American people
cannot be bartered, or dickered, nor can
constitutional requirements be fores.all-
ed by agreements of bargains. Wheeler
solemnly declared that he believed he
was elected, but would yield peacefully
if it was otherwise decided Touching
Oregon, he said it was not worthy of Sc
rious consideration. The face of Cro-
nin's certificate shows that three Repub
lican Electors were chosen by the people
and two being a majority, they could le-
galIy Eli the vacancy by the appoint
ment Of another.

FATAL ACCIDENT.-LastS Sunday, at
Vina, John Mccoy was killed instantan
eously while riding a horse. 1t appears
that man had offered half-broke horse
for sale or rattle, and Mccoy, wishing 10
try the horse, got on and rode him around.
After a while he got thrown, but remount-
ing said he would put him (the horse)
through. He was riding at full speed,
and when about to pass close to u tree
the horse wanted to take one side and
Mccoy would have it take the other, and
in leaning over to rein the horse, and bs-
ing unsuccessful in keeping the horse as
he wanted it, his head came in contact
with the tree, smashing in the skull ter
ribly, breaking his neck and causing in.
stant death.

A RADICAL CHANGE.--A special cleo
ton was held in Senatorial Distrlc; OF
Indiana last week to fill vacancy caused
by the death of the former incumbent,
the District having heretofore been Dem
ocratic. The complexion of the State
Senate depended upon this district, giving
the control of that body to whichever par
ty carried it. The election resulted in
favor of the Republican nominee one of
the counties, which gave Tilden 800 ma
jority, giving the Republican candidate
majority of 100. Perhaps the Hoosiers
do not like the war talk INDUCED in by
the Democratic leaders in Indiana, who
are "willing for any peaceful solution
Of the question provided it results in the
inauguration of Tiden and took this
manner of showing it.

its solid receptacle was found to be per-
feet even to the rattles. A similar petri-
faction was found on Readings Creek, in
this county, many years ago, aud was for
long time on exhibition at the drug
store here. The rock had been smashed
by blow OF the pick and parts of the
petrlaction were lost, but what was lefl
