RAILROAD ACCIDENT.
A CHINAMAN CUT UP.

Yesterday afternoon as the locomotive Il.
E. James, with twelve empty fiat cars, on
its way to the fume in the southern part of
the city, reached Second street, the engineer
observed a Chinaman standing on the track
To warm the poor devil, the engineer rang
purpose; this son of the Oriental Empire
persisted in maintaining his extra hazardous
position. The train was moving along at too
great speed to be suddenly checked, and the
cars struck the ill -fated Celestial, knocking
him over and part of the train passed over
portion of his body. Upon being rescued
from his perilous position-every one who
witnessed the sight believing him to be dead
it was found that his right arm was nearly
severed from his person, only connected by a
small fragment of skin, large hole in his
head, and it is also supposed that he received
internal injuries. A large crowd of the I'M
fortunate wretch's countrymen soon collected,
but none offered to render him any aid.
couple of white men, who became e1asperated
at the heartlessness of the Chinese, threat
ened to massacre a half hundred of them if
they did not at once take him to place where
he could obtain medical aid These threats
had the desired effect, and the wounded man
was taken to the Chinese hospital. We have
been unable to learn what the Celestial medi-
formed by an eye witness of the accident that
the engineer of the l. E. James is entirely
blameless in the matter

SQUAw F1GHT.-Two Infatuated aboriginal
females, said to be mother and daughter, en-
gagged in fight in the northern part of the
city, about noon yesterday. They went at
each other with determined will, gouging,
pulling hair and biting in the most approved
civilized style. The mother looked to be
about rs years years old, while the daughter,
a plump, healthy, young squaw, weighing
about $50 pounds, appeared to be only
about 20 years of age. After protracted
tussle the old squaw had to succumb to the
blows of her offspring, and fell to the ground
painting for breath. At this juncture the
devoted daughter got up and busted. No
arrests.

THE CALLISON CASE.

If the opinion of layman may be reevantly
expressed in tho presence of so much legalistic
scumen and forensic aptitude as one sees here
now, the so-called Callison case is trying with
exceptional fairness and an extraordinary de-
sire to arrive at the exact and unadulterated
truth. Moreover, it is contested upon both
aides with singular ability. We have already
spoken of Senator Stewards very able opening
address. So able man as he and one so
widely known needs none of our small en-
dorsing. 1t is a rare pleasure to see with
what judicious and polite directness and clear
ness of fashion Judge CARRIER proceeds toward
the task of cross-questioning the wary and
clever witnesses who make it known in the
Court that there is such an element in the
law of the day as metalurgical judicature.
The careful and thorough manner of Mr.
Dickson's work is manifest to all. He has
delved with great industry and no little en-
thusiasm in those books and things which re-
Lates to the matters involved; and he has
proven himself very thorough and pains
taking lawyer; and if hard work intelligently
applied will do what they always have done,
this gentleman will ere long stand in the front
rank of his profession. There has been
precious little sparring in all this case and
much which shows a purpose and desire to
lesrn-snd that's a good sign Courts and
lawyers who have got past learning are as
nigh hopeless as any other overloaded vehicle.
As we have already intimated, Mr.. Reyes has
shown himself very clever and quick witted
exponent OF the theories underlying his side
IT this case Mr. Luckhardt's testimony was
most interesting disquisition upon the OBJ
.truse questions and inductive reasonings of
his science. The niceness of the geologists
theory was very handsomely illustrated; and
the ingenuity which underlies the structure of
that study was admirably presented. PROBES

MURDEROUS ASSAULT.
AYoUSG NAN SERIOUSLY STABBED.

About O'Clock yesterday morning, after
the closing of Circles hotel and Robert 3
saloon, the clerk of the former and barkeeper
of the latter, went off to the northern part of
the city to get something to eat Just as they
were starting out they we're joined by young
Frenchman named Dan LIE Due, who had
been drinking little. He requested per-
mission to accompany them. which was grant
ed As the trio reached the Mint corner,
Roberts barkeeper suggested that one of the
party should pay for the three suppers, for
appearance sake. He no sooner offered the
suggestion than LIE Due whipped out large
bladed pocket knife and cut two gashes in
the formers right breast, saying, Damn
you, I've had enough of your talk" The
third member of thus party AYERS that the as
sault was the most cowardly add unprovoked
one he had ever heard of. immediately after
the cutting, officer Duncan came along and
arrested LIE Due. No charge has as yet been
preferred against him, as his victim is too
weak from the loss of blood to give an account
of the ARRAY, if an ARRAY it can be termed.

The testimony in the trial of the Mount
Diablo Co. Va. Callison ct ais. was concluded
yesterday. The arguments will be made to,
morrow; Judge CARRIER and Hon. Jonas
Seeley for the plaintiffs, and Hon. w. NJ
Stewart and DIR. Dickson for the defendants.
The case will then be submitted to the Judges
Sawyer and Hillyer. Counsel for the defense
respectfully proposed that Judges Hillyer and
Sawyer visit Candelsria, point 200 miles
from here, and examine the disputed ground
agreeing to return the judicial gentlemen to
Carson by Tuesday afternoon. The proposition
was seriously considered, but the Judges con-
cuded that the trip would be too fatiguing,
and furthermore that the evidence taken
would enable them to do full justice to the
case.
