A NEW locomotive of peculiar style
has been placed on the Hudson river
railroad, for the exclusive use of the
superintendent Mr.. ]. NJ. Toucey. 1t
is only about half the size of the ordi-
nary locomotive, and has the engine
and tender built together, on the frame.
The new engine has cowcatcher on
both ends, and draws no cars, the cab,
which covers the entire boiler, being
divided into two apartments, one for
the engineer and fireman, and the other
lin front and directly over the boiler)
is fitted up with upholstered seats for
the use of the superintendent and those
who accompany him. The machine is
kept in the round-house, with steam
constantly up, although she sometimes
runs only once or twice in month.

THE small but steady business Of
gold mining in the Southern states will
receive an impetus as soon as ma
chine which has lately been perfected
in New York City, becomes generally
introduced. 1t crushes ore into a pow
der as fine as the sands of the sea-shore,
and then separates the bits of metal
from the powdered stone by process
of shaking and blowing. The cheap
ness of the apparatus, compared with
the cost of stamp mills, and its efficiency
in operation will permit the poor but
plentiful ore of the south and other
sections to be worked with excellent
profit. People from the west and south
and from Peru are investigating the
capabilities of the invention.

The Eastern End of the
U. P. Iron Bridge
at Omaha
Hurled by a Hurricane Into
the Missouri River.
The Piers Still Stand-Five
Hundred Feet Of the Bridge
Totally Wrecked.

Omaha, August 25.-At about 3:2C
O'Clock this morning, during the preva.
lence of terrific rain and wind storm,
about five hundred feet of the eastern
end of the Union Pacific iron bridge
was
PRECrPITATED INTO THE RIVER.
The piers are left standing uninjured,
but the rest of that part of the bridge
is total wreck.
For the present all trains from the
east will probably have to transfer pas
sengers and freight via Plattsmouth,
Neb., and the Missouri valley.
There are
VARIOUS sUR9IIsES
as to the immediate cause of the acci-
dent to the Union Pacific bridge, but
the general opinion seems to be that it
was cyclone which struck it.
John Pierson, night watchman, was
at the guard-house at the east end at
the time the accident occurred, and
had
NARROW ESCAPE FROM DEATH.
He was penned in the river for half
an hour before being able to extricate
himself. The loss is estimated at about
three hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars. 1t will probably take two or three
months to rebuild the structure.

with clouds dark as night; the wind
wlirled and howled; the lightning was
startling and quickly followed by the
echoing thunder. You might imagine
old Olympus taken up and dashed down
by some superhuman power from the
summit of Longs Peak, crashing and
roaring as it fell. Then it seemed to
roll and rush along the mountain ranges,
clashing against their peaks and leap
ing their chasms, echolng and re-echo-
ing until lost in the distance. With
this came flood of rain. 1t seemed
like water-spout let loose upon US.

Fighting by Moonlight


London, August 25.-The Turks in
strong force violently attacked Schipka
Pass, Thursday, on three sides. All
onslaughts were repulsed. At 8 O'Clock
in the evening the rifle corps reinforce
ment stormed the heights on the Rus
sian right, and desperate fighting en-,
sued until midnight, when the eclipse
of the moon stopped the fighting. the
Russians maintaining their position
notwithstanding the Turkish numerical
superiority and cross fire.
The Russians have now fought fol
four days the whole of Suleiman Pasha's
army, without partaking of rest ol
warm nourishment. Further consider.
able reinforcements are expected dnr.
ing the night.
The fighting on Friday was confined
to lively cannonade. The Turkish
left wing threatening the Russian real
has been drawn from its position. Al
is quiet at Loftscha and Plevna.
Suleiman Pasha telegraphs confirm
ing the report of Wednesdays desper.
ate fighting without decisive results
and that the fighting was resumed
Thursday. "The Russians are com.
pletely surrounded. We command
their line of retreat to Gobrana. To.
morrow decisive assault will be made.
As the Russians have not proited by
the darkness to retreat they risk being
all captured"

TELEGRAPHIc TICKS.

The wool market in Boston ruled
dull last week, and the sales were the
smallest in several months.
VIM. Carrar and John Fl. Hustled,
the forgers arrested in New York, were
yesterday committed for trial In de-
fault of $4,000.
Ex-President Theirs, in receiving
republican deputations, on Friday, at

The suit instituted in Louisville
against the Pullman company is entire

former superintendent of the company.
A dispatch from shumla states that
the Turks on Friday night, at Papas-
kin, after severe engagement, turned
the Russian left wing. The Russians
were repulsed along the whole line, and
suffered heavy loss.

Richmond, Ind, August 25.-Dr.
Bliss reported at 9 O'Clock this morning
that Senator Morton passed rather
uncomfortable night, and his condition
at this time was worse than last even
ing, when he authorized the statement
that the Senator was out of danger.
At II a. m. Morton's pains were ex-

At p. m. the Senator was very low,
and though then it was impossible to
predict the result, the worst was an

At2 p. m. Morton was in an ex-

was telegraphed to return at once.

Richmond, August 25., 9p. m.-sen-
ator Morton slept quietly from 8 to
O'Clock and woke refreshed: He then
had the papers read to him.
DR.. Bliss says his system is entirely
free from the opiate which had previ-
ously been administered, and his condi-
tion more equitable. The alarming
symptoms of last night and this morn
ing were from thoracic effusion, which
the physicians claim has been checked.
The Senator had voluntary move
ment of the bowels at o'clock, and at
8 p. m. physicians, family and friends
are again remarkably sanguine.

Senator Morton has just been moved
from his couch to an easy chair, and
seems to be resting easy now. DIR. Bliss
says he cannot see how recurrence of
pain can occur. Va :

ESTES PARK
Its Entrances-The Big Thompson-A A
Thunder Storm-Ete.

There are two entrances TO Estes
park from the east; the more southern
of the two Is called the st. Vrain, or
the Longmont road; the other is the
county road. Both roads enter the
park at about the same place.
From either entrance the view that
presents itself is magnificent and one
of rare beauty. On your right and
close beside you is Mount Olympus,
with its mountain road, thousand
feet in height, its sides near you rising
almost perpendicularly to that great
elevation. 1t seens II ledgo of solid
white granite, and yet dotting the sides
and growing out Of 1t are many ever
green trees.
From Olympus the range Of hills
turns slightly to the north, then west
for mile or more, then south to Longs
Peak, whose lofty summit stands a
prominent object in the scene. This
peak, whose altitude is 1920 feet, ap-
pears near at hand, but it Is twelve
miles away. From the base Of the
peak to the east across a valley Is an
other range of hills that runs north
east for Il short distance, then east,
terminating in Mount Pisgah at your
left.
The park proper is shaped not who'll
ly unlike triangle--possibly crescent
| would describe it better-with hill or
two dotting its surface. The park is a
beautiful valley, with groves of trees,
green lawns and winding roads, while
through it from west to east courses
the Big Thompson, a swift running
stream of sparkling water, clear and
cool.
Entering the gate and following the
upper road to the west for q mile, you
arrive at the Evans house, located near
a little stream. Crossing the stream,
you continue on for half a mile or more
to the ford of the Big Thompson. This
stream affords the disciple of Izaak
Walton ample opportunity to capture
speckled trout.
There are great many pleasant
drives through the mountains, which
are studded with little parks and lakes.
'Willow Park, Lily Lake, and Horseshoe
Park are among the romantic spots fire.
quently visited. Longs Peak is the
great object of attraction, and although
it is very difficult and dangerous peak
to climb the ascent is being made by a
number of persons every week.
In regard to the Cheyenne camp. We
are located near the eastern end of the
park proper, not far from the foot oi
Mount Olympus. We are near beau
tiful spring and plenty of wood. Oul
tents face the north. Behind them il
high hill and before them is the pic
turesque valley. We have complete
camping outfit and there is nothing
needed to add to our comfort.
There have been several thunder
storms since our stay here. A fev
