AHANDSOME TRAIN.

Superintendent Yerington and small party
| of friends took ride to Reno and back yes
terday in train composed of some very hand
some, recently reconstructed cars. One OF
the passenger coaches, now set apart and duly
lettered, Smoking Car is one of the origi-
r. r. The other was formerly C. P. Direc-
tors car These have been thoroughly over
hauled from stem to stern, furnished anew
throughout and rugged with the patent "Mil-
Ter Platforms" AS a part of the trains COM
plement are mail and express car. All these
are painted on the outside rich dark Grim
son or claret color and present very stylish
appearance Altogether it is the most elegant
train ever run on this road. AS the train
went out and came in yesterday, a black,
bulky looking contrivance fetched up the rear.
This is a portable reservoir or fire cistern con-
structed for the purpose of playing very use
full part in case of fires in the wood and lum-
Der yards on the main or lateral lines of the
road The number of gallons it contains is
something enormous-we forget the precise
quantity. This is most capital idea of Mr..
Yerington's OF course this tank will be kept
filed and ready for service at all times,
"WELL Done, ETC.-The Town Trustees,

rated, the hall was neatly and appropriately
ornamented, and the Warrens and their
friends. were in full force to celebrate the fif-
teenth anniversary of the pioneer fire COM
pany of Carson. H. H. Bence welcomed the
guests in well-timed speech filled with Car
son "reminiscences, concluding with al invi-
tation to all to step up and partake of the re-
freshments, which consisted of liberal guam
titles of solids and fluids. The collation. was
as fine one as we have ever seen on such an
OCCASION. Altogether last nights was an en-
ioyable occasion, and sorry we are to be COM
PEELED to dispose of it thus briefly.

Frank Cook, the contractor, while at work
mailing a ceiling in the Carson Opera House

internally, and it was at first reported that he
vas killed. We called on him last night, at
tho Morton House, and found him suffering
greatly, but not in dangerous condition
Young Cook will probably be remembered by
many of our townspeople as a Legislative
committee clerk during the last session, and
subsequently as a canvasser for Harris book.
