The Secretary of War yesterday
transmitted to the House, in answer
to the Jencks resolution Of Jan. 10,
1876, requesting q careful and exact
survey of the distance on the Union
Pacific and Central Pacific railroads
between Council Bluffs and Sacra-
mento, the report of Capt. Twiling
of the engineer corps, to whom the
duty was assigned. This report
shows that the length Of each of
these railroads is somewhat greater
than was shown by the original
measurement on which subsidies
were issued. The amount of the
error is for the Union Pacific one
mile and q quarter and for the Cen
trail Pacific little less than q mile.

charging them with embezzlement

It now seems there is no room to
doubt the fate of the two boys, Dud-

boys drowned after clinging a few

There was rare fun in the big
board yesterday afternoon. The
notorious quack doctor and swim

some of the rollicking members of
the board were looking around for
mischief, and spying Luscombe, he
was politely escorted into the center
of the bull-ring, where his hat was
smashed down over his eyes, and af-
ter some rather rough kicking and
cutting broomstick was procured,
on which he was ridden out of the
board room with a significant hint
not to come again.

A Phase in lie Municipal History o
Dodge City.

Dodge City is a wonderful town,
equal to every emergency, and attends
to its own business in q matter of fact
sort of way, disposing of momentous
questions of State and municipal affairs
promptly and thoroughly. When other
towns would have appealed to the Gov
eminent for troops, Dodge City simply
calls its Council together and they
settle the matter in an emphatic manner
The Times of this week says:
Yesterday morning about 2 o'clock
the Marshal arrested and confined Mr.
Charles Roman in the city jail. I'M
mediately after the arrest, Mayor Kelly
ordered the Marshal to release the pris-
oner, and the Marshal positively refused
to do so. Finding his order not obeyed,
the Mayor ordered the Marshal to
cease performing the duties of City
Marshal, deliver his badge to one of the
other officers and consider himself sus-
pended. The Marshal refused to recog-
nize the order of the Mayor, and ON
tinued to act as marshal, whereupon
the Mayor ordered the Assistant
Marshal and policeman to arrest him.
The Marshal at first refused to be
arrested, and drawing his revolver,
ordered the Mayor and officers not to
come ear him. Here the Assistant
Marshal and policeman were placed in
a doubtful position, not knowing their
exact duty in the matter. In order to
settle the difficulty in the easiest
manner, Mr.. Masterson, the Assistant
Marshal, suggested to the Marshal that
he submit to arrest in order to prevent
further collision, until the disagree
ment between himself and the Mayor
could be investigated. This the Mar
shall consented to, and allowed himself
to be confined in the city Jail, where he
remained only about ten minutes, be-
ing released on his W recognizance.
During the forenoon Il complaint was
filed against Mayor Kelly for interior
ing with the officer in the discharge of
his duty, and he was also placed under
arrest. The Marshal's case was tried
first. No complaint vas filed against
him, and the officers who made the
arrest were the only witnesses. The
decision of the Police Judge was that
the Marshal had committed no offence
against any of the city ordinances.
He was therefore released. The May
or's cast was postponed until this after
noon at 4 O'Clock. Before that hour a
meeting of the City Council was held,
and an order passed directing Mr.. L. E.
Deger to resume his duties as City
Marshal. When the trial came up for
hearing, a petition was presented,
signed by Il majority of the Council,
favoring the entry of a nolle prosqui in
the case, and all the parties %consenting,
it was so entered, and the Mayor dis
charged. The municipal machinery is
now running smoothly again.

AN E A
A Railroad Track '.Looped'' to Get Over a
Grade.

A remarkable piece Of work near
Yuma, Arizona, ON the Southern Paci.
fc railroad, is known as 1.-THE LOOP
and many persons come long distances
to see it. In laying out the line the
engineers found great difficulty in
reaching the summit without exceed
ing the grade to which they have been
restricted. They leveled here and
there, and found they could only &C.
complish it by winding q long distance
round and making several bends in the
track. Col. Grey found a way out Of
the trouble by making the road form a
loop or circle upon itself, the first
attempt of the kind in railway engi-
neering. The road passes at a certain
point into a short tunnel and bends
gently to the left, rising steadily; and
as steadily bending to the left it goes
on and on, till at length, as you look
from the rear platform of the train,
you find yourself directly over the tun-
mel, and discover that the track has
made a loop around the mountain as
perfect a the one you form around
your finger with a thread. The desired
elevation has been gained, and the
train is headed in the same direction as
when it emerged from the tunnel, and
almost exactly above the former posi-
ton. Passengers r on the qui vive
to examine this curious bit of engineer
ing, the platforms are crowded, and
there is an irruption of heads from the
windows of the cars, save and except
ing the one which is filled with Chinese.
John is never surprised at anything,
and takes the world with the utmost
serenity. He cares nothing for "The
Loop" and its surroundings; it is
''allee same" to him, and he sits as de-
murely rs though in his native village
on the banks of the Yang-tse- Kiang.
