"THE LOCAL ROADS"

There are four so-called local " railroads
in this State
One of these is the Virginia g. Truckee,
another is the Lake Tahoe Marrow Gauge,
another is the Eureka & Palisade, and the
fourth is the Phoebe and Bullionville road
The first three are mainly owned by Mr..
D. o. Mills, a very rich man who owns a
banking house i'll Sacramento, who is one of
principal men in the Western Union Tele
graph Monopoly, who at one time was Pres
dent of the Bank of California, who has a
magnificent country seat at "Millbrae," San
Mateo County, California, and who, when he
travels to and from the East, rides in a
''Palace dining room car, of splendid proper
tons and sixty feet in length.
Who the owners of the Phoebe & Bullion
Vile Railroad are, we do not know.
REMEMBER.
Not to legslate upon the local roads, is
to let D. o. Mills, the principal owner of the
said local " roads, and California money
king, go free of any restriction upon his pres
ent plan, purpose and method of making the
merchants, mechanics, miners and labOrers of
Nevada tributary to his already enormous
wealth.
Moreover, the local roads are clearly within
the power of legislative control, That is to
say, while there is no question of the power
of the Legislature to regulate the business of
the "local mainly owned by one
grasping and exacting capitalist there is a
question of the power of the Legislature to
regulate the freights and fares the Central
Pacific.
We mean by this that it is absurd TO at
tempt to control the Central Pacific Railroad
by State legislation without affecting the local
roads.
Let us not be misunderstood Ii is our
belief that the Legislature has the right
(under the 6 Granger Decisions to regulate
fares and freights on the Central Pacific, and
that law attempting such regulation ought
to be enacted. We simply call attention to
the absurdity of not legislating for the local
roads if we are to legislste at all upon the
railroad question.

KILLED BY A, METEOR.

The following story, told by the Indianap-
oils Jomn'A, sounds like a ''yarn,' but We
reproduce it for what it is worth:
On Tuesday night, January 14th, Leoni-
das Grover, who resided in the vicinity OF
Newtown, Fountain County, met his death in
way that is probably without parallel in
this or any other country. Mr.. Grover was
a widower, living on his farm with a married
daughter and her husband On the evening
referred to the married people had been alb
sent on a visit to some Of the neighbOrs, and
upon returning at a late haur, entered the
house, finding everything, to all appearance,
in usual order, and surprising that Mr.. Gro
yer had already retired, went to bed them
selves. Next morning the daughter arose,
and, having prepared breakfast went to the
al Joining room to call her father, and was
Mortified to find him lying upon his shattered
bed mutiated corpse. Her screams brought
the husband quickly to the bedroom, and an
inspection disclosed a ragged opening in the
roof, directly over the breast of the unfortu-
nate man, which was torn through as if by
common shot, and extending downward
through the bedding and floor Other holes
showed he direction taken by the deadly mis-
slle. Subsequent search revealed the fact
that the awful calamity was caused by the fall
of a meteOvlC stone, aud the stone itself,
pyramdal in shape, and weighing twenty
pounds and fe" ounces, avUrdupOls, and
stained with blood. was Tnearthed from
depth of nearly five feet, thus showing the
fearful impetus with which it struck the
dwelling. The position of the corpse, with
other surroundings, when found showed that
the victim was asleep when stricken, and that
death to him was painless.

1t is asserted as a positive fact that the
Court House is haunted. An occupant of

female apparition in close communion vi
each other. He attempted TO open the door
but found that impossible. as 1t was
locked on inside. He procured assistanc,

the ghosts had escaped through the wIndow,
and their tracks we're plainly visible in the
