Summary Proceeding.

According to the Lyon County Times
Mr.. Holmes, owner Of the Dayton and
Mason Valley toll.road. last Wednesday
went with four men to the dollhouse
wherein William Cummings resided and
demolished the institution. Mr.. Cum.
miuss was absent at the time and Mrs
Cummings demonstrated with a double.
barreled gun but was captured and put
out with her two children. It seems
that Nj. Holmes borrowed money from
Mr.. Cummings, giving q mortgage on
the road as security. Cummings to col
lect toll until tho mortgage was raised.
A few months ago Mr.. Holmes claimed
that the mortgage had been paid up, and
demanded possession OF the road, but
was refused. Hence these summary
proceedings on his part.

will have nothing to fear from the tiercest
tempest. This massive masonry is to be
followed by the girder-bridge system, such
as is employed in the ,CharingC railway
bridge. But TO span the deep water he has
recourse to the tubular bridge system as
applied Sir Robert Stephenson in the erec-
ton of the Menai bridge, and quite recently,
by the Americans on a much grander scale
for the bridge between New York and
Brooklyn. With these three systems COM
bined, the eminent originator of the gigan-
tic scheme believes that he Is not only GER
tain to succeed in crossing the channel, but
also in satisfying the demands of every gov
ernment concerning the precautions to be
taken to prevent the navigation of the Eng
lish channel being rendered even more dan
gerous than it is at present. The general
scheme has not yet been perfected, but Nj.
de st. Anne estimates that the preliminary
work can be done for 200, ,OOO,OGD francs, and
to raise this amount he has presented the
scheme TO the chambers of commerce of
France and Belgium, and hopes England
will interest herself In the project.

READING AT SEVEN AND A HALF MILES
DISTANCE FROM THE CANDLE.


On the evening of July ~, the Maxim
electric light was put in operation on the
tower of the Grand Union Hotel, Saratoga
Springs, N. T., with view to test the ex-
tent of its Illuminating powers. An open
parabolc reflector WAS usedr-no lenses-and
care was taken by Mr.. Maxim to set the
points Of the cartoons u littde at one side of
each other, aud to adjust them to the exact
focus of the reflector. When this was fairly
accomplished the light was turned toward
a spot in Ballston Spa, New York, q miles
distant, where, by previous arrangement, il
group of seven hundred persons were as
sembled to witness the experiment. So
powerful was the light, SO accurate the TO-
,cusing and alignment, that the designated
place ia Ballston was instantly illuminated,
80 that ordinary print could be read, the
time seen OH watches, etc. The night was
clear, still, and dark. The experiment was
made at 81 O'Clock p. NJ. This is believed
to be the greatest distance at which illumi-
nation OF equal degree has been accom-
plishea We are indebted to Mr.. Ii. S.
Maxim for the above particulars.
