Irritating by wind Power.

J. H. Beebe has demonstrated the
~practicability of irrigating by wind
power. His place is about four miles
south of Evans, Colo, in sight of the
railroad and on a bluff. His well is
% feet deep, and it has five feet of
water. The windmill cost S175, a tank
$50, and the digging and work, about
$50. With the water raised, an acre Of
ground is well irrigated, and frequently
he has watered 80 head of stock, though
they do not depend for a supply from
this source, as their range is farther
away. This enterprise simply shows
that n may live on the plains, and
have vegetables and small fruit in
abundance, and lofty trees may be
CLOWN and at the same time he may
keep large herds of cattle. So says the
Greeley Tribune.

Frightful Collision on the CENTRAL Pacific
Railroad.

Frightful Collision on the Central Pacific
Railroad.
San Francisco, April 5.-Early yes
terday morning express train No. 2,
westward bound, on the Central Pa
cifc, collided with o special freight
train about a mile from Cascade, New,
near the summit of the Sierras. Each
train was drawn by two engines.
The collision occurred in a snow-shed,
and the engines were piled upon one
another, the rear of the tank of the first
engine of the passenger train and the
front of the second engine being forced
up until they protruded through the
roof Of the shed.
The shock of the collision threw the
passengers and train men in every di-
r~ection, but o of them suffered bro
ken bones, though several were badly
bruised.
George Burt, engineer Of the head To-
connective on the express train, was
found in his seat, dead. His fireman,
John Wright, was badly scalded. John
Warren, engineer of the second express
engine, was severely scalded, and died
in q short time, as did his fireman.
Frank Maxwell, who was crushed.
Both the passenger and the head
freight engines are badly broken, but
otherwise there is no serious damage to
either train. The wrecking train sent
up will take perhaps ten hours to clear
the track. 1t is supposed that the en-
gineers of the express train forgot the
orders they had received to wait for
the freight train at Cascade.
An engine and nine freight cars are
reported ditched near Midway station,
on the Western PaciHc.OtI = 81 1taf

NEW YORK.

A. Oakley Hall and HIS Family.
New York, April 5.-None of Oakley
Halls friends identify the woman with
him who is so clearly described by the
Associated Press agents in London. 1t
is evidently some entire stranger to
them. Many of his friends here firmly
believe him insane. Douglas Taylor,
long intimate with him, thinks his in
sanity has been q long time impending
and consequent uponthe morbid sem
%sitiveness growing out of his suspected
connection with the Tweed ring and
the consequent Sights and cuts from
many 'favorite friends. The action Of
the Union club against him and his
failure as an actor--while the attempt
itself was a freak-hastened the malady.
Among the incidents indicating insan-
ity wa his recent declaration in open
court, where his client had been con-
victed on the clearest evidedce, that he
would never appear again in a homi-
eide cas- Taylor says if Halls de-
parture was the act of a sane man it
was brutal, and those who know Hall
are well aware that it is not in his ma
ture to take such a step. He lived in
the eye of the public and liked the good
opinion of his fellow men,. Despite the
rumors of unhappiness, he and his wife
were devoted to each other, and he
gave great attention to the mainte-
nance and education of his children.
His life is insured for 100000 in favor
of his family. Mrs. Hall has some
property of her own. One daughter
has learned the trade of milliner, an
other is an accomplished music teacher;
a third is educated as a drawing mis-
tress and is one of the leading scholars
at the Cooper Union art school. The
son, a bright-eyed youth of about IA
years, is learning printing and pho
biography, and was being trained by
his father in the general duties of edi.
tor and journalist. In addition to these
special branches, the children of Hall
are finely educated.

An Attempted Abduction Frustrated.
Iowa City. April Six men, sup
posed to be monte operators, attempted
to abduct Mrs. George w. Watson, a
wealthy and accomplished young woman
this lIace last night. They entered the
train at Rock Island, and under pre-
tense that she was an escaped lunatic,
kept her gagged and held down at each
station. She escaped from them at
Wilton, after a desperate struggle, dur
ing which she sprained her ankle, and
persuading the conductor of her sanity,
was allowed to take. rooms in a hotel
here, where she is well known and
respected. The object was probably
money, as she was richly dressed.

A writer in u Boston paper says that
closets in a house are a great nuisance.
From which it may be inferred that
the writer aforesaid is an old bachelor,
has only one suit Of clothes, and is
compelled to lie in bed when his shirt
is washed. Should he ever get a wife,
and see a frock OF one chair and her
peti-what-you-call-it on another, and
other feminine fixtures on the tables,
sofas, beds, and other articles of furni-
ture, he will o conclude that it is
much more convenient, if not healthy,
to have a house four-fifths closets.
