A Runaway Locomotive.

The Battle Mountain Messenger says
"The locomotive Jos. Collett, which
hauled the freight train to Lewis We'd
nesday, met with quite an accident.
1t had taken one load from Galena
Station to Lewis and was making a
second trip. Starting out of Galena
Station with three heavy cars of lum-
Der when the steep pitch was reached
two of them were dropped, and the
engine went ahead with the remaining
car. When opposite the postoffice, and
when about to run into the switch, it
was found that the brakes would not
hold, and both car and engine CON-
menced to back down the HILL When
opposite the StarrGrove mill the con-
ductor, engineer, fireman and brake
man jumped off, as they saw that all
control of the train was lost. Away
went engine and car, increasing their
speed at every turn of the wheels. 1t
did not take them long to reach the two
lumber cars left standing on the track,
both of which were badly smashed up,
though not thrown from the track.
The engine was considerably damaged
aud was brought in Wednesday night
for repairs. No one was hurt and the
engine will be ready to make the trip
again to-day"

Tuhy. Humboldt claims the next larg-

terday both were of the train going to

elined to boast on the size of their rep

the wind out of their sails by calling

The Nevada Central Railway.

1t appears, after all, that Jay Gould
is the purchaser of the Battle Mountain
and Austin Railroad, as was reported
several days ago, and afterwards con-
tradicted. A New York special to the
Chicago Tribune says: "Mr. Sidney
Dillon and, it is supposed, Mr.. Gould,
have bought the Nevada Central Rail-
road, extending from Battle Mountain,
on the Central Pacific, to Austin, 100
miles down the valley. The object of
the purchase is mystery to the Cen
trail Pacific people. One theory is that
the road is to be extended north to con-
meet with the Oregon system, and per-
haps south to some other connection.
A railroad could be built down the val
ley 100 miles, if not through to the
Texas Pacific. If there is no immedi-
ate object in view, the right OF way
through the valley is likely to be USE
full in the future"

Grasshoppers and Crickets.

Reports from differents parts of the
county say that grasshoppers and
crickets are quite numerous. The
mountains east OF Tom Wayte's place,
in Grass Valley, are said to be literally
alive with crickets-large black fellows,
such as are seen in the eastern part of
the State. There are swarms of grass
hoppers on the hills near Bloody Run,
northwest from the dollhouse so
teamsters say. As yet those pests are
not doing much damage, but they are
liable at any time to descend to the
valleys.

A Glorious Rain.

Saturday night, about 10 o'clock, a
rain set in and continued almost inces-
sanity until next morning. 1t was a
quiet, gentle rain, unaccompanied by
wind, and it was of material benefit to
farmers, as it will wet the ground pretty
thoroughly. According to the gauge at
the signal office over half an inch of
rain fell.

The Philosophy of Thunder.


Prof. TAFT, the most eminent scien-
entific authority on the subject, thus
explains the noise made by thunder:
The origin of the sound is, in all cases,
to be looked for in the instantaneous
and violent dilation of the air along the
track of the lightning flash, partly, no
doubt, due to the descriptive effects of
electricity, but mainly due to the ex-
cessive rise of temperature which rem
ders the air for moment so brilliantly
incandescent. There is thus an ex-
tremely sudden compression of the air
all round the track of the spark, and a
less sudden, but still rapid, rush of the
air into the partial vacuum which it
produces. Thus the sound-wave pro-
duced must at first be of the nature of
bore or breaker. But as such state
of motion is unstable, after proceeding
a moderate distance the sound be-
comes analogous to other loud but
less violent sounds, such as those of the
discharge of guns. Were there few
clouds, were the air of nearly uniform
density, and the flash short one, this
would completely describe the phenom-
enon, and we should have thunder
crash or thunder clap, according to
the greater of less proximity of the seat
of discharge; but, as has long been well
known, not merely clouds but surfaces
of separation of masses of air of differ
ent density, such as constantly occur
in a thunder storm, reflect vibrations
in the air, and thus we may have many
successive echoes, prolonging the origi-
nal sound. But there is another cause,
often more efficient than these. When
the flash is long one, all it's parts
being eguidistant from the observer, he
hears the sound from all these parts
simultaneously; but if it's parts be at
very different distances from him, he
hears successfully the sounds from por-
tions further and further distant from
him. If the flash be much zig-zagged,
long portions of its course may run at
one and the same distance from him,
and the sounds from these arrive stimuli
taneously at his ear The extreme dis
lance at which thunder is heard is not
great, when we condsider the frequent
great intensity of the sound. No
trustworthy observation gives in gen.
eral more than about nine or ten miles,
though there are cases in which it is
possible that it may have been heard
fourteen miles off. But the discharge
Of single cannon is often heard at
fifty miles, and the noise of siege or
naval engagement has certainly been
heard distance of much more than one
hundred miles.

house. Yesterday, DIR. Thibodo took
some pieces Of metal from the wound
which were at first supposed to be por-
tions of the bullet, but closer examina-
ton showed them to be pieces of foil
from package of tobacco which Diaz
had in his pocket when he was shot,
and which was perforated by the ball
There is nosprobability of the paints
recovery until the ball is extracted.
He was shot in the groin, the ball rang
ing downward, and as the pain is now
principally in the rear and lower por-
ton OF the thigh, it is evident that the
bullet is endeavoring to work it's way
out in that direction.
The Union Pacific coal mines at Rock
Springs, Carbon, Almy and Grass Greek
are at present taking out, says the
Ogden Pilot, about $500 tons per day,
most OF which is used by locomotives
on the road. At Almy the Central
Pacific mines have an output of over
600 tons per day, which is used on the
eastern end of the Central Pacific road.
Wyoming, Utah, Idaho and Nevada
have to pay tribute to the Union Pa
ciiic for all the coal used by these citi-
zens, as that corporation has a complete
monopoly over all, except at two or
three favored spots like Park City,
where competing line of transporta.
ton has been established. 1t now
looks as if the Utah & Wyoming road
will soon be constructed and bring us
coal from the extensive mines tapped
by that line. Cheap fuel will bring
manufactures and general prosperity to
Utah.

A Big Tent TO be Erected-Francis MUIR
ply Coming.

The temperance people do not propose
to take vacation during the heated term But,
while they propose to keep up hot fight they in
tend TO keep as cool possible. Instead of hold
ing their meetings in hot. close hall, they have
made arrangements for the erection of tent,
where the cOld-water doctrine can be expounded.
Yesterday Colonel J. F. Hoy, who has for the past
three years conducted very successfully temperance
meetings in Baltimore leased the vacant lot on the
southwest corner of Fourteenth street and New
York avenue, where he will erect a tent. The tent
will accommodate 800 and Is the same that Colonel
Hoy used for his meetings in Baltimore. He ex-
poets to have it in readiness for meeting a week
from Sunday night The Dashaways will here
after hold their Sunday night meetings there in
stead of Odd Fellows Hall Colonel Hoy comes
here with the understanding that the Temperance
people here cooperate with him in holding these
meetings. After the tent Is opened a meeting
will be held every night, and they will be
conducted by Colonel Hoy and local speakers
Colonel Hoy is a lawyer by profession
He served in the late war, and is n man Of fine
presence, and in his style Of speaking is said to re-
semble Cough. He has been very successful in

EnDtafu rRer-

Captain Riddleberger went to General
Malone and asked that his name be withdrawn.
General Malone is not disposed to surrender, how
ever. And really We can see no good to come out
of the withdrawal of Riddleberger, for any one
substituted for him would receive just as bitter op-
position. So far as his withdrawal or election
would affect the campaign in Virginia we think it
is misapprehended. Riddleberger, as Sergeant-a at
Arms of the United States Senate would be no
more influential than Riddleberger defeated for
that place. Indeed we believe his defeat in the
Senate, by the methods pursued by the Democrats,
would give him more prominence and greater in
huence than he has ever had in Virginia and GER
tainly make the known following of General Ma
hone more active and determined in the approach
ing campaign. The Democrats in the Senate and
their party in Virginia have more to lose by the
defeat of Riddleberger than by his election. While
we think, as an act ofpaTty policy, mistake was
made i'll his nomination, and that General Malone
has blundered in his alleged course as it affects the
Senate officers, the grounds upon which Mr. Beck
objects to Riddlebefger are not tenable. No more
courteous officer could be found than Captain Rid
dleberger would make, and as to making himself
disasreeable to Senators, that would have to be
condition things of their own seeking and not of
his.-Stdunt0n VIrginidn.
