THEY have got ahead of US in the manner
of lighting railroad cars in Europe, as well
as in a few other things. Instead of candles,
which simply serve to make darkness visible,
or coal oil, which is liable to explode, they
are now using, to a great extent. rich gas
made from oil, consumed in burners espec-
tally constructed for the purpose. The gas
is condensed to density of six atmospheres,
so that large supply can be carried in re-
ceptacle below the car, and the gas is so rich
that burner consumes less than three-fitths
OF a cubic foot an hour, while giving ligh'
equal TO thatsof four foot burner using ordi-
nary coal gas. And while the light given is
greatly superior to that obtained by the use
of oil, the cost is low. All the better class OF
cars in Germany are now lighted with this
gas, and it is used to some extent in England
Moreover the British government utlIizes this
gas in an important way, that is for the light
ing OF buoys in harbors and channels. A
buoy is supplied with gas enough to keep a
light for several weeks, aud it cannot be ex-
tinguished by the waves d, lshilg over it.

Heavy snow.

John Guthrie, of the Sonoma Ranch,
is in town. He says over twelve inches
of snow fell in Grass Valley last Mon
day. 1t lodged barley and oats fat and
damaged these crops considerably. 1t
weighted down apple trees to such an
extent that some of them, six inches
through, split from the forks to the
ground. Such snow storm as that in
the middle OF June in the valleys of
Central Nevada is unprecedented.

bad taste in the mouth, &C. Out OF the
$4,000 dozen bottles sold last year, not
a single failure was reported, but thous-
ands OF complimentary letters have been
received from druggists of wonderful
cures. Three doses will relieve any
case. Try it. Sample bottle 10 cents.

A week or ten days ago man named
Ben Roseneranz was arrested at Boise
City, Idaho, on suspicion of being inn
plieated III the murder of Bascom and
Others at Glenn's Ferry at the time of
the Indian outbreak year ago. Some
500 was found in his possession, and
he admitted that it belonged to dead
man and was paid him to keep quiet.
The Idaho World says that the prisoner
attempted suicide last Tuesday evening
by taking strychnine. A Chinaman,
who was in Jail with him, prevented
him from swallowing sufficient poison
to kill him, and then informed the Off
GERS OF what he had tried to do. This
looks suspicious and conveys the idea
that Rosencranz is not innocent.

mocrats out of 1900 votes in New

rants, and that the democratic ma
.jority in the city ought to have
been, $4,000 instead of 5000; that
persons against whom he issued
warrants were innocent, and it was
only done 10 keep them from voting;
that the scheme was fully under
stood by all the republican officials,
and it was only deise because they
thought the end justified the means,
and they wanted to keep Louisiana
in their hands. Judge SouthMorth
