lTr:tcisee Republican. February 9th.l
Last Sunday afternoon, as several young
ladies' and gentleman of this town who
is well known in business circles were
promenading on the railroad track, they
met with a mishap which might have
proyen very serious to one or all of them.
AS thev were walking up the track they
were met by a couple of their young gen.
tIemen friends, who were coming down the
Grade on hand.car. The gentlemen in
vited the ladies' to take ride on the car.
They readily assented, and all, six in num-
Der, got on the car, filing it to its utmost
capacity. The grade at this point is quite
steep. After the car was started it gained
headway rapidly, and not being provided
with brake, was soon beyond all control
It flew down the track with lightning-hke
rapidity. Its occupants, seeing their dan
ger, clung to each other with the energy OF
despair, each endeavoring to retain his OF
her own place on the car, as we'll as to
render support to the others. Faster and
faster went the car, every revolution of it's
wheels only aceelerating its speed, adding
to the danger of its jumping the track and
hurting its occupants over the emhank-
ment One of the ladies becoming dizzy,

to aid her retain her place. This also made
the other occupants of the car loose their bal
ance and one by one they fell from it, and
were scattered along the track for about one
hundred and fifty feet, in all zaanner of
positions. The car being relieved Of its
weight soon jumped the track. The ladies
and gentlemen who had been thus uncere-
moniousIy dumped, picked themselves up
and at once began an earnest examination
of their anatomies for the purpose of as.

but to their intense satisfaction they found
none of such serious nature as could not
be readily repaired. They owe, their escape

The Roberts Shooting case-Particulars
of the ARRAY.

Under date of February Sth, we have
received from a correspondent at Susanville
the following particulars of the recent
homicide at that place
Since Sunday last the shooting of the
man known as David Roberts by Millard
Steward Ia notice of which was telegraphed
to yol) has been the chief subject of con-
versation here. Yesterday morning Coro-
ner Johnston summoned jury and an in
quest was held. The verdict was that
deceased came to his death from pistol
shot fired by Steward. In the afternoon
Roberts body was inferred. At 10 o'clock
this morning the prisoner was brought be-
fore Justice Blake for an examination.
After hearing the testimony of num-
Der of witnesses, the defendant was
held to appear before a higher Court,
with bonds fixed at $1,000, failing to pro-
cure which he was committed to jail.
From all the information | have been able
to obtain, the following has been adduced !:
Some four or five nights previous to the
shooting Roberts loaned Steward So, which
he promised to return the next day. Stew
ard failing to keep his word, Roberts
on Sunday morning demanded his money,
and no doubt pressed his demand with
abusive language. After several attempts
on the part of Steward to borrow the
money, they again met about . o'clock in
the bar-room of the Steward House, when
Roberts again pressed his claim and ad
vanced towards Steward, who drew a
small pocket Colts revolver and fired three
shots, one of which hit Roberts near the
navel, causing death to ensue In less than
an hour. The shooting was witnessed by
number of persons. Roberts was un-
armed. The bullet, which was 81 100
caliber, passed through and lodged
near the spinal column. The deceased
was native of New Hampshire, aged 32
years, mason by trade. From papers
found since his death, his real name was
David Fogg. He has been in this county
some three or four years, during which time
he has INDUCED in numerous sprees, in which
he manifested fighting, quarrelsome dis
position, and was generally considered
a hard customer for an opponent, being
large man and a perfect model of manly
strength. At the time of his death he had
not been drinking. Steward (who goes by the
sobriquet of 81 Sinner ", came to the coun-
ty some FIVE or six years ago from Oregon.
where he has father living. He is a ma
tive OF Louisiana, where he has brother
and uncle living. He is some % years of
age. Since living here he has combined
gambling with labor for livelihood.
Neither mer have an enviable reputation.
The storm which commenced over two
weeks ago. still continues, with showers
each day, and bids fair to eclipse that little
shower of Noah's Thus far the washing
of roads and destruction of number of
small bridges are the amount of damage in
the county, resulting from the storm.

FRIGHTFUL FALL AND MARROW ESCAPE.
The Folsom Telegraph of February 10Th
tells the following story
Frank Hemmel, who resides near Rebel
Hill, met with an accident last Saturday
night that might have proved most serious.
While on his way home, the light ne was
carrying was suddenly extinguished, and
while cropping his way in the darkness, he
fell into mining shaft sixty-four feet in
depth He thinks he became unconscious
for time from the shock received in fall
ing, as it was nearly morning when he
realized his perilous position. He found
himself possessed of few matches and
some tobacco, and as he suffered but little
from his bruises he beguiled the tedium of
the hours by an occasional smoke he also
quenched his thirst by catching the falling
rain in his hat Thus he spent a portion
of the time from Saturday night until Mon
day evening, when he heard man chop
ping wood, whose attention he attracted by
loudly calling for help, and who, with the
help of several neighbors, succeeded in ex-
Treating him from his exceedingly uncom-
Portable and dangerous situation.

about two gallons of arsenical solution

NEW YORK. February 12th.-The steamer
Athos, from Colon, confirms the fall of Lima.
On January 14th the Chileans advanced in a
heavy fog unobserved, until the second
Chilean line was within 400 meters of the
enemy, and their first line was engaged in a
hand to hand conflict for two hours. The
Peruvians maintained the fight twelve hours,
until P. NJ, when, being nearly hanked by
the Chileans, who lost heavily, they were
obliged to retire. Two days later. the Peru
Wan reserve of 5000 young men of Lima re-
sisted the Chilean advance, firing from
breastworks for five hours, when the Chileans
forced their way into the town of Mirahores
and reduced it to ashes. The losses in killed
and wounded in the two battles is estimated
at 1900 Peruvians and 1000 Chileans. The
Peruvian loss in material is immense, and
leaves the army Of the center entirely with
out means of war. The Chileans entered
Lima on the 18th without resistance, and es-
tablished a local government, with Godal,
former Chilean Minister in Ecuador, as Pre-
feet. The Capital was orderly. The popu-
lace burned the Chinese quarters on the 18th
of January, on account of alleged enmity of
the Chinese to the country.
Pierola, Commander-in-Chief and Presi-
dent of Peru, could do nothing to Withstand
the effect of the surprise of the 18Th Of No
vember and slaughter of the 18th. Before
his departure he gave orders if any Peruvian
officers in command of ships desired to save
them by flight trusting to the superior speed,
they were privileged to do so. None made
the attempt, and on the surrender of Lima
and Callao, the forts, batteries and ships were
blown up and burned. Several forts were
bsowh up, with considerable loss, it is said
to the invaders, but there was not the slight.
est evidence that the city was so generally
ruined as the Peruvians claimed.
General La Cosera, commander of the Peru
Wan reserve, is accused of treason, coward
ice, and all sorts of crimes, and was forced to
take refuge in the British Legation. He went
to Guayaquil by Santiago, and on the way
suffered many indignities at the hands Of the
populace at various ports, and from passen-
gers on board. The Army of the Center was
the finest Peru ever put in the field and has
been completely beaten, demoralized and
practically wiped out of existence.
Montero was appointed by Pierola, on his
fight, Commander of the Army of the North
and Sotar of the South. The Army of the
North consists of number Of scattered bat
talions without the means of mobilization
and having neither headquarters nor organi-
zation. The Army of the South. with head
quarters at Arequipa, numbers less than 10,
900 men, and any operations from that quar-
ter against Tacna and africa are said to be
impossible. The Chilean forces, in consider
able strength, still hold those points.
