The Vancouver independent. (Vancouver, W.T. [Wash.]) 1875-1910, 1879-11-27

NEW YORK, Nov. 12.-rhe Tribune
reporter interviewed Nunez, of the
Chilean legation, who said: BY cap
turing the port of Pisaqua the Chileans
have placed themselves between the
Peruvian forces at africa, 'Tacua and
Iquilue. NJ africa and Taena, which
is some distance inland the Peruvians
have about 10000 men. At Iquique
they have probably 5000. 1t will now
be in the power of the Chileans, as
they have command of the sea, to cut
Off supplies from the troops at Iquique
and thus compel them to surrender.
They may also undertake operations
against the forces at africa, which the
Peruvians will be unable to reinforce
from lquique. Chile has paid her way
by issuing greenbacks. Peru is greatly
crippled. She has not paid the inter-
est ON her public debt, which is
S200,000,000, since 1876. Nunez eX-
explains that the aim of Peru was to
obtain complete control of the nitrate
trade, and that the people in the dis
puted territory are nearly all Chileans.
He expects that the recent success
will compel Peru to sue for peace.

The BONANZA Chief is the big gold
mine of Montana. Last April the
ledge was discovered, and shortly
thereafter it began to be talked of as
"a promising lead Since then Il
good deal of work has been done upon
it, and the vein rs now uncovered
measures fortytwo feet across the
ace and eighteen feet in perpendicular
height. Every ounce of this rock is
pay 1t has been tested by ''cross
cuts and the uniform value of the
rock has thus been asceratined. Its
course into the hill has not been fol-
lowed, but it is believed that it will be
found Il continuous one for long dis
lance. Mills are being erected to
crush the rock, and it is claimed that
the mine will prove the richest in the
world. Its location is eight miles from
Helena.

Killed,

Last Wednesday night young man a brakeman on the night freight train on the Housatonic railroad-was run over and instantly killed by the cars, a short distance this side of Stepney depot. The accident occurred at thirty-five minutes past twelve o'clock, and discovered in about five minutes afterwards by Con ductor Charles Rogers. The train which usually leaves Bridgeport at nine o'clock was detained until fifteen minutes to, twelve by the bursting of one of the flues of the engine. When the train reached Stepney it staid there just long enough | to take water for the engine, and just as the train started off Samuel Johnson, the brakeman killed, entered the caboose. where we were, and reaching over us took down his coat and passed out at the rear door; he returned in two or three minutes with Conductor Rogers and passed on to the front door of the car. Conductor Rogers, finding it very cold, started to build fire, and had just put the coal on when the car passed over an obstruction that attracted tue attention of all i've supposing the car had run off the track. Conductor Rogers, however, suspected that something was wrong, went out to look after Johnson and not seeing him stopped the train, and with another man went down the track and found the man. gled body of young Johnson. Rogers ran back for assistance and with the other men the body was brought back to the train. The wounds were: both hands nearly severed, the left leg cut into ana a cut in the head, beside other marks about the body. It is supposed that young Johnson made a mistake in locat- ing the ladder by which brakemen reach the top of the cars, and thinking one ot the iron plates one of the rounds of tho ladder, placed his foot on and reached u; and thus lost his balance and fell uLor the rail. It was a sad and sickenine sight. The body was left at the NewtowI depot at two o'clock in care of Agen
 c. B. Taylor, who took charge and wen : to Sandy Hook immediately and returned with undertaken E. Wilson who prepared the body neatly. MT. Taylor went tc Bridgeport for the coffin. The bod, was sent to West Stockbridge wher, young Johnson resided, unmarried. witl his father and mother. He was of fin, physique and only about 26 years of age and was highly esteemed by all who knew him.

New York and New England Railway.

Two of the directors and the company's attorney, whose arrival we noted in our last issue devoted thethree days of their stay in town last week to looking over the proposed route of the road through the town, and ascertaining the approximate cost of the same.
 Two of our citizens, Messrs. D. P. Nichols and Charles Hull, were appointed a committee to arrange with the property holders along the present survey on the price of the land to be used.
 A committee of Bethel citizens waited on the directors, while they were here, and proposed change of the route to take in Bethel village. The change is to take, at Hawleyville, the already com- pleted branch of the Danbury and Nor walk road, to Bethel, and thence run the line across Grassy Plain street, through Mountainville and across the south end of Deer Hill avenue. A survey of this new route from Bethel to a iumcture with the old line in Miry Brook, will be made.
 In a few days the railway people will return to Danbury, for further consid- eration of the matter.-Nears.

Re Careful What You Say.

In speaking of persons s faults Pray don't forget your own; Remember those with homes of glass Should seldom throw stone; If we have nothing else to do But talk of thoseAsho sin, Iris better we commence at home, And from that point begin. We have right to judge man, Until he's fairly tried Should we not like his company, We know the world is wide: Some may have faults-and who has not The old as well young. Perhaps we may. for aught we know, Have fifty to their one. I'll tell you of better plan, And find it works full well; To try my own defects to cure Before of others tell: And though sometime hope to be No worse than some know My own shortcoming bids me let The faults of others go Thcn let us all, when we commence To islander friend or foe, Think oi the harm one word may do To those we little know Remembar curses, sometimes, like Our chickens. ''roost at home;" Don't speak of others faults until We have none of our own. -Ercldng
