To prevent fires in the snow-sheds on
the Central Pacific Railroad, the mag
mates have devised complete fire tele-
graph system with an alarm box every
mile. Track-walkers patrol the road
day and night. A lofty tower has also
been erected on a mountain 10000 feet
high, commanding with telescopes a
view of the line from Blue Canon to the
Summit, and from this observers will
certainly watch the road, having tele-
graphic communication with the fire
train at Cisco, which is always ready to
set out for a confagration.

three hours in something else, and in the

courses he said to an interviewer: The
text was given to me by one of my dea-
cons, who died yesterday, and requested
in his last moments that | would preach
from it. At 6 this morning | sat down
to think out the discourse. | spent an
hour upon the text and could make moth

WAR NOTES.

A DISPATCH dated Bucharest, the 14th,
says: Since the capture of the Grivica re-
doubt before Plevna there has been only a
continued bombardment of the town and
other positions of the Turks.
THE Goth is now mentioned as the date
when the Servian proclamation of war will
be issued and Prince Milan will leave for
the frontier
A RUSSIAN official dispatch from Paradin,
dated the 18th, says three Turkish redoubts
at Plevna were taken by Gen. Skobeloff.
The heights of Grivica, Osman Pasha's
strongest position, was carried by storm.
Russian wounded exceed five thousand.
THE majority of the Bosnian insurgents
have submitted to the Turkish Government
in the Bosoa Serial.
AT the capture of Lovatz the Russians took
two Turkish standards and quantity of
arms and ammunition. Two thousand
Turkish dead were buried.
THE Montenegrins defeated Hafiz Pasha
at Jesero on the 18th, killing 600 and cap
turing 100 prisoners. Hafz Pasha was
marching to the relief of Nicsics at the time.
THE report of the capture of Plevna by
the Russians was premature. Rumors of its
capture and of prodigious slaughter of
Turks are still current; one report even says
Osman Pasha is prisoner.
IT is announced from Galatz that from
August "A to September 7, 10000 men and
5000 horses to reinforce the Russian armies
passed Barboschi.
ACCORDING to latest advices the Russians
have retreated beyond the upper LON. The
Rasgrad army has passed the LON and now
occupies Ablova. The movement caused the
Russians to hurriedly evacuate Papokoi and
the region between Karasan and Osman
Bazaar.
THE Russian army in the rear of Plevna
are preparing to surround Osman Pasha's
forces. The operations of Sulieman Pasha
and Mehemet Ali are too far off to be of use
to Osman.
A TELEGRAM from Constantinople reports
that the whole of Sulieman Pasha's army
has passed north of the Balkans.
a CATTARo special of the Sth reports
that Nicsics, with nineteen guns, had sur
rendered unconditionally

ACCORDING to Paris paper, a French
lady of rank has just died, at the age of
81, who had been accustomed for the
last 80 years to smoke pipe twice day
as penance. In 1915, she married q
wealthy sea captain, and obtained from
him a promise to abandon tobacco, of
which he was extremely fond. He kept
his word, but died shortly after from re-
gret-so it is alleged. His widow was so
overwhelmed with grief and remorse
that from that time to the day of her
death, she smoked couple of pipes each
day, and desired at her death that her
ipe should be buried with her.

In Delaware and Eastern Mary land
there are upward of $4,000 acres of land
under peach trees. This land is the best
on the peninsula, estimated to be worth
$50 per acre, or So, 100000. To ship this
fruit requires 100000 baskets, or nearly
that many, which cost $250,000. The
money invested in necessary implements
for cultivating and shipping the peaches
is estimated at Sl0for 100 trees, or $780,
600. The cultivation of peach orchards
and the picking of the fruit gives employ
ment to upward of $4,000 laborers.

A SERIOUS accident occurred few
nights since at the home of JAS G. Pick
etts. in the town of Utica. A kerosene
lamp exploded, setting on fire the cloth
ing of Georgia, Mr. Picketts' daughter, a
young lady about Is years of age.
Frightened and frantic, she ran into the
street, her clothing all ablaze. Mrs
Picketts ran after her, and with great
difficulty succeeded in extinguishing the
flames, tut not until the young lady was
badly burned about her limbs. Two
oh ysicians were hastily summoned from
Ripon to attend her. AT last accounts
she was lying in stupor in very criti-
cal condition.

are going to have another row. 1t APP
pears that the city of Eau Claire is pro-
ceeding, under a statute of Wisconsin,
to erect dam and other works in and
across the Chippewa river, within its
corporate limits, for the alleged purpose
of supplying the people thereof with
water for domestic and sanitary purpo-
ses, but the history of past litigation, and
the avowed purpose of those in control
of the works, as we'll as the extraordin-
airy character, size and expense of the
dam now in progress, convlnces the
Chippewas-whok know how it is them
Iselves-that the primary purpose of the
same is the storage of logs, and other
private uses, and is not the use of the
water for sanitary or domestic purposes.
Measures were taken by the council of
Chippewa Falls to institute proceedings
in the courts to enjoin parties from
building the dam.
