The Pacific Railway Snow She,!s.

Nashville American.
These wonderful wooden tunnels cover
forty miles Of the Central Pacific railway.
They were first suggested by its practical
vice president, Charles Crocker, but his
companions hesitated through fear OF their
impracticability and expense. They are
of two kinds, one with very steep roofs
and the other with fiat roofs. They cost
per mile from $1,000 to $4,000, and in
some places, where heavy masonry was
needed, the cost reached $4,000 mile
They are firmly constructed to support
the great weight Of snow and resist the
rush of avalanches. Fire precautions arc
very thorough. Corrugated plates Of iron
separate the buildings into sections, and in
the great ten mile shed there arc automatic
electric fire alarms. At the summit is an
engine and tank always ready 70 flood the
ignited spot in an instant. These sheds
shut in the view Of the great Sierras, but
without them winter travel would be i'm
possible. Sometimes five feet of snow
falls upon them in day, and often thirty
feet lie on the ground at one time, and in
many places snow accumulatcs to the
depth of fifty feet above these great
wooden arches,

Yesterday afternoon VIM. G.Tyndal, OF
Bair 4 Shenk's banking house, was pass
ing down North Queen street with q
friend. As they passed down the street
they noticed crowd Of men, who were
intoxicated, standing near Kinzler's shoe
store. Farther down the street was an
other member of the party who was stand
ing in the middle o! the pavement. When
MIR. Tyndal attempted to turn out Of his
way he threw out his foot and attempted
to trip him. He did not fall, but struck
the fellow with his umbrella. Mr.. Tyn-
dal then walked to Centre square.
Tho gang followed him, and there
the one who had tried to trip him
walked up and began striking and kicking
at him. One of the blows struck Mr..
Tyndal's umbrella, breaking it, but he
was not hurt. When the gang who were
standing behind saw their partner in tho
fight, they ran up and attempted to assist
him, but Mr.. Tyndsl saw that he could
not whip the whole crowd and quickly
hurried away. A large crowd was gath
cred by the noise, and the attack made
upon Mr.. Tyndal was entirely uncalled
for. He should have had all the men
arrested.

Board OF Railroad Commissioners, ut Belle

on the part Of the complainants, one Of
