WHAT HAPPENED WHEN A CAR

AZ Sheldon we got out and eat. While
we eat our car is switched off on the In
dianapolis Cincinnati & Lafayette train for
Lafayette. When we got into it it had
been faced about. Man who was sitting in
the forward end Of the car before dinner
finds a whole pile of woman's baggage in
his seat. Awful mad. Throws it all out
on the floor and wonders what "blamcd
thieving hound has got his baggage |"
Woman who sits near the rear end Of the
car finds her seat all full of mans traps.
Throws them ont Of the window. Screams
tor the conductor and says all her things
arc stolen. Old man who sat in the mid
die of the car finds his seat turned around
and slaps an innocent boy in the next seat

A non-explosive steam motor has for the
past three months been in successful opera
ton on the Third avenue street railway
line. This motor makes no nose either of
putting Or escaping steam, scatters no Gin
ders and emits no offensive gases. The mo-
tor can be constructed in two ways, either
as self-propelling car carrying passengers,
or as a dummy. It has on the front plat
form of the passenger car boiler with a
slender smoke. pipe. The Office Of the boiler
Is not to generate steam, but to distribute it
to cylinders below the floor OF the car. At
the starting station the boiler is supplied
with quantity OF hot water raised to the
steam generating point, and the only object
in supplying the motor with fuel is to keep
up to steam pressure during the trip. This
is accomplished by few shovels Of live
Goals thrown into the car boiler furnace on
leaving the station, the charge being good
for twenty miles. After starting no atten-
ton is required for the water, fuel or ma
chinery, all the driver has to do is to mind
the brakes and the conductors bell.

The present Hospital is now, and has
been, a disgrace to the county for the past
six years. Grand Juries from the very
formation of the county, have persistently
called the attention OF the County Com
missioners to the vital defects in the
County Hospital, without apparently any
good result.
In view of these facts the present Grand

ally as private citizens, influenced by the
commonest dictates Of humanity, respect

sioners-as the proper custodians, not only
of the general affairs Of the county, but
more especially Of those unfortunates who
from their helpless condition, are unable
to protect themselves, take some immedi-

construct new buildings adequate for the
requirements of the INDECENT sick; or so
repair the old ones, that the most ordinary

The Reno Journal says it is a subject
of wonder where all the money comes from
with which Reno does business. At least
$685. 600 per month is sent to San Fran
cisco 70 pay for goods used here. We have
known of months where the remittances
footed up $500 900. This constant drain
is apt to cause dull times, and especially at
this time, when a million dollars have
been expended in rebuilding and supply
ing the town.
