The lifting capacity of the appara-

All the ropes used as stays for the
boat and lifting crane are wire cable,
and some of them are immense and
will measure fully an inch and half

The Wagner tied up over Sunday
at our landing, and several ladies
took advantage of the occasion to in
spect the many interesting objects to
be seen on board Uucle Sans trim

obliging and showed them through

A Great Engineering Work

SurBo, New, June 30. - Tonight the
mountain tops overlooking the Washoe
silver region and the Carson Valley are
ablaze with bonfires, and the echoes of
cannon and discharge of giant powder are
heard in every direction. The event which
is being celebrated is the final completion
Of the Sutro tunnel for the reception of the
water from the ComstoclS mines. After
ten years of ceaseless labor day and night
aud the expenditure of six millions of
dollars, the powerful engine of the combi-
nation shaft of the Hale & Norcross and
Savage mines was started up this morning
at precisely Q o'clock, discharging the
water into the Sutro tunnel, at the mouth
of which it made its appearance In one
hour and twenty minutes, showing tenn
perature at first of 10i degrees, which
gradually increased to 10s degrees in eight
hours. The water in the long drowned
out mines was lowered 100 feet. Every
thing worked well. The wooden boxes
constructed of Nevada pine, did not show
a leak. No steam escaped from them, so
that the tunnel showed barely an increase
of temperature after the hot water was
turned on. The water from the Sierra
Nevada, Union, Ophir, the Bonanza mines,
Best and Belcher, and Gould and Curry
will not be turned on for couple of weeks,
and after all finds its way into the tunnel,
it is expected that one of the double line
Of boxes will have ample capacity to carry
off all the water. The success of the great
engineering work surpasses all expecta-
tions.

In a Predicament.

The Bethlehem News says: Workmen
are now engaged in repairing the roof of
McShane bell foundry, on North street,
aud use boiled pitch in their operations.
Last night half barrel Of this material
in hard state was left on the sidewalk,
and about 10 or II o'clock an individual
supposed to be slightly inebriated, took a
seat on it and went fast asleep.
His nap lasted for several hours, but
about three O'Clock this morning the
watchmap at Adams Express Company's
freight depot, on the other side of the
street, heard the fellow cry for assistance,
and upon crossing the street found him
stuck fast to the pitch and unable to
move. The watchman used all his endeav-
ors to release him, but, like Aunt Jemima's
plaster, "the more he tried to pull him off
the more he stuck the faster" Finally,
after every expedent was exhausted, the
watchman cut the man loose by means OF
a sharp knife.

Shocking Sight for a Father.

burned to death near Jonesboro, Ca, Sun
day night, were carried to Covington for
interment Mr.. Reynolds is almost a
maniac. 1t required four men to hold him.
A new piano made the family unusually
gleeful that uight, and the last song was
'' In the Sweet Bye and Bye" The two
girls, one nine and the other sixteen, went
to bed up stairs. Mr. Reynolds, his wife
and two small children slept below. The
frantic father, unable to render other aid,
stood outside and shouted to his daughter,
as she leaned in the window enveloped in
flames, to jump out. They burned to
death before his eyes.

A Savage Rooster Attacks Child.

In Johnstown on Wednesday, as the IA
months old daughter of Samuel Miller, of
p that place, while playing in an alley that
runs by her fathers residence, was at
tackled by large rooster belonging to
another citizen of Johnstown. She in
stinctively threw herself face downward
on the ground, when the rooster jumped
on her body, striking his sharp spurs into
her neck and peoking at the exposed flesh
with his bill. Little Anthony Wayne,
aged years, was playing in the vicinity,
and hearing the child's screams he bravely
went TO her rescue. Taking the child in
Mis- arms the little fellow carried her
toward her fathers house, the rooster
following close behind and occasionally
giving a spring and digging its spurs into
the boys clothing. The attention of a
female member of the family was
soon attracted, and she went out and
drove the rooster away, and then carried
the affrighted child into the house.
1t was discovered that there was quite a
deep hole behind one of the child's ears
aud another near the temple, both of
which wounds bled freely.
