Onc OF the Train Robbers Dies the Death
of Despair, victim of Sensational Lltera.
ture-A Warning to Boys.
a very sad death occurred in the pen-
Tertiary yesterday All deaths are sad.
The death Of the old man, around whose
bed family assemblies, is sad The death
of an infant, whose cold lips are'scaled with
n mothers devotion, is sad. But of all
deaths, the death from a broken heart is
saddest.
p, Il. Sullivan, alias William Delaney, a
young man Of twenty-thrc. years, one of
the train robbers recently sentenced to
seventy years in the Arkansas
penitentiary, was the victim of
u broken heart. Several days ago
he became gloomy, and going to DR..
Lcnow, prison physician, complained of be-
ing sick. Upon examination the physician
discovered that the man was not suffering
from any pcrceptible disease, but that his
pulse was 40, lie was ordered to the hos
pital, where every care was given him. lie
revived after time, but every one could
see despair written on his countenance He
entered the prison cheerfully, and lightly
spoke of the long term of his sentence, but
after while letter came. When he read

went again to his bed.

dered. AT times he seemed to be at church
listening to his father preach; and then he
seemed to be playing with his sisters. He
smiled and laughed softly. "Ahw he

tains. The tunnel, If completed, is calcu-
lated to save about four hundred miles
distance to San Francisco. Pomeroy's
success for the past two years has enabled
him to receive from the sales of stock of
this Tunnel Company and other mining
operations nearly or quite $4,000. Butin-
asmuch as none of these are paying mines,
the money which he has drawn out of the
mines and expended in his extravaganza
has stranded him. but the paper estab-
lished by Pomcroy is now in good hands,
free from debt and will soon be made an
evening daily Pomeroy came here with
less than 50, and in less than one year there
after he had an income on the sale of
mining stocks of full. $4,000 daily. Ere
quently his daily mail brought him from
$1,000 to S2O,OO0. All of this money has
gone into the mines, except that which lie
has drawn in his eXtrayagant operations.
The probabilities are the Atlantic and Pa
ciiic tunnel enterprise will, in another year,
place him on his feet again, 1t is well
known that Pomeroy has no bad habits,
neither drinks nor CANDLES.

there have been fairly copious rains, and IL
is fair TO presume when the water shall
have had time TO settle away little meas
ure Of relief in that regard will have been
realized. The rains have been moderate
and steady for the past four or five days,

usual fall Of water to reach the lower springs
and supply them, The production Of coal
has been largely shortened, the shortage
gradually increasing for each successive
week for the past six weeks, the demand for
coal and Especially for the smaller sizes,
being steadily more and more In excess of
