AGREAT EARTH SLIP.
Miles OrLand sliding into "a swiss
Lake.
Geneya pisnatch ]

Geneva Dispatch
a great land lin near Sigriswyl, in
the r,nton Of Bcrne, which was re-
ported OH the 10Th ult /, is steadily
moving towards the Lake Thum at the
rate of three metres day. 1t is three
miles long. one mile broad, and of un-
known depth. The houses in It's path
have been deserted. Sigriswyl and
the neighboring villages are, Fortunate
ly, out OF danger.
The land slip began in one of the
sGverest thunder storms that has ever
visited Switzerland. The ground had
been loosened by recent earthquakes,
and a piece of it FIVE thousand feet
long began to move towards the lake,
carrying with it houses and port Of
beech forest. In the same storm,
which devastated districts in Berne
and Sockthurn. the lightning struck
the village OF Isrehle and caused its
total destruction. Three hundred
houses and chalets, which were built
tier above tier on a steep mountain
side, were destroyed; but as the cattle
were pasturlng in the Alps at the time
of the fire, the loss, though severe, is
not SO. greatas it might have been.
lsrohle, although absolutely unknown
to the tourist, was one of the most in
tcrcsting places in Switzerland. Its
inhabitants, like those of two or three
villages on the d'Annivers, in the
same neighborhood, are people apart
and are believed to be descended from
Huns, who deserted from Attila's
army when it passed through the val
ley Of the Upper Rhone, in the fifth
century. This theory is borne out by
the Mongol type Of countenance which
is found among the people OF the viii
lagos and the exotic words still in

Fatal Accident at the Chlisty.

About 6 o'clock on Thursday
morning Henry Thomas, an ANAL
gamator at the Christy mill, met
with fatal accident. The facts
elected from workmen on shift at
the time are as follows: Thomas had
just finished repairing a pan belt,
and was in the act of replacing it
upon its proper pulley, when the
belt caught on a perfecting-set bolt
and was winding upon the line shaft
and while endeavoTing to free the
belt his arm was caught in it and he
was carried around with frightful
velocity. Engineer Perry CHANGED
to be looking in the direction of
Thomas at the time, and observing
something wrong, instantly shut
down the machinery and fastened
to the spot, and was shocked to find
the unfortunate man firmly held to
the shafting by the coils of the belt.
Assistance was Immediate. pro-
cured, and the mangled and bleeding
man was conveyed to the hospital,
where DR.. MantOr was summoned
to attend him. Upon examination
it was found that both arms were
broken in several places, and his
right leg broken and crushed be-
tween the knee and ankle, and nearly
torn off, beside numerous other cuts
and bruises. The shattered leg was
at once amputated, and his injuries
properly dressed and every effort to
make the injured man as comfort
able as possible resorted to. He con-
tinued conscious up to the hour of
death, which occurred at o'clock
on the following morning.-Silver

Grading and Making Preparations

The work of grading for the new

company to put the new works up

building will be one of the largest
IN the camp when completed. The

modelled for a hosting engine and
taken to the mine. The company
has enough lumber at the mill to
build the hosting works, and it will |
probably be used for that purpose.

FINE WORK AND FAST.

IMPORTANT CHANGES IN RAILROAD
TIME EAST, AND NEW AND UNSUR-
PASSED ADVANTAGES OFFERED
THE PUBLIC.
The change in the time schedule
going into effect the 22d, on the Bal
timore and Ohio, cannot but prove a
very popular one, as it offers many
new and unsurpassed advantages.
For instance, the train which for
merly left Chicago at 405 O'clock.un-
der the new schedule does not leave
until 5.15. Some conception Of the
lightning time made by this train
may be cleaned from the fact that it
reaches Washington an entire night
in advance of the trains of Compel
ing lines leaving Chicago at exactly
the same time. AS is well known,
all the eastern lines run through
trains east, leaving at 5.15, and the
b. s. O., while arriving at Washing
ton so long ahead of all the other
roads, reaches New York at the
same time. Another immense adj
vantage possessed by the B. & o., is
that its trains run through solid
from Chicago to Washington, Balti-
more, Philadelphia and New York.
There is no change of cars of any
class whatever, the entire journey.
On the other lines the only cars
running through without change
are the sleepers. The B. q o. being
under a single management, IS en-
abled to run its trains without
change, and those who do not
care to go to the expense of
nalace cars, cannot but appre-
ciate the comfort and conve-
nience of not being forced to change
cars at unreasonable hours of the
night, or in fact, at any time. The
regular coaches on the b. 81 0. are
models of luxurious and elegant
construction, being for the most
part new and of the latest designs
| The track has of late been wonder
fully improved, almost countless
tons of steel rail having been put
in and everything brought up to the
very highest standard. Direct con.
nection is made with the 5.15 train
by all the great railway lines ira
versing the states of Illinois, Iowa
| Nebraska. Kansas, Colorado, Wis
consin, Minnesota, etc. The b. & o
runs its own line of sleeping cars
| through from Chicago to Washing
| ton, Baltimore, Philadelphia ant
| New York, and the general verdiet
| of the travelling public is, that il
magnificent proportions, superb fur
4 nisRing and luxurious appoint
ments, they excel any cars eye,
nIaced on wheels. The same ma!

cars Just placed upon the road

Bogus Money.

Some months since there was con
, siderable talk about counterfeit S2(
Igreenback bills being passed on diff
ferent persons in this city. Several
Iof these were handed into banks
and branded with the word counter
lfeit, and while there were many
who had seen the person who passed
1.-THE money, no one could describe
Thin, and the matter finally rested
IWhen the bills were slowed away
land no others were SEEN In the
last week or two, however, they
have put in a temperance, and one
or two more counterfeit bills have
been passed upon persons who could
| ill-afford to sustain the loss. About
a week'or ten days ago a man entered
small grocery store on Main street,
quite late in the evening. He pur-
chased some articles which came to-
about dollar, and handed a 500
greenback bill out as payment. His
purse was full of large bills, as the
storekeeper could see at the time.
He was suspicious of the bill and
looked at it for a few minutes.
His impression was that it
was a bogus bill, but he cast thei
thought aside, and handed the |
stranger out S19 in change. The |
next day the bank pronounced it
Since then others have |
complained of counterfeits, and it |
would seem that the practice was TO
be carried out as it was some months
ago, and probably with as much
success. A few days ago a
man was arrested, charged with
having bogus money, but was dis
charged for want Of prosecution.
We may be estray, but it does seem
hat if a little more energy were
displayed, the persons guilty of ut
.ering counterfeit money might be
detected and brought to justice.
Perhaps it is the duty Of officers of
he law to wait until a case has
,een made and complaint lodged
Igainst the guilty, or supposed
ruilty parties, before they take no
ice of the matter; but elsewhere it
5 looked upon as part of the work
f officers, upon learning of such
ases, to hunt up the felons, make a
ase and bring them to justice. 1t
J popularity believed that this is
ne of the things citizens have a
light to demand, and if the demand
7ere complied with there would be n
ASS of it in place like this. !

Farm Implements and Ma
ehinerY.

1t is evident that General II. B
Clawson anticipates a very large
share Of the big industrial boom
that is striking the country. Fol
weeks past, indeed, ever since the
railroad blockade was broken, ma
ehinery and farm implements have
been rolling into his extensive
yards on South Temple street, car
load after car load having been re-
ceived until the place is literally
crowded. The stock on hand com
prises pretty nearly everything that
the farmer or gardener needs or
can use about the farm or garden,
from a grain thresher, a hay press
or sulky pillow to lawn mower, seed
drill or wheel hoe. Some Of the
multitudinous articles in which he
deals, and for which he is the manu-
faeturers' agent, are enumerated in
our advertising columns, but what
ever in his line is required will be
found at his establishment, or
quickly obtained by him. General
Clawson is making q speciality of
mill machinery, and is prepared to
furnish Touring and saw mills COM
plete, delivering them in Utah or
adjacent states and territories at
better terms than individual pur-
,hasers could possibly obtain from
he manufacturers. The HERALD
directs attention to Mr.. Clawson's
business announcement which ap-
)ears elsewhere.
1t is hardly necessary for us to |
suggest concerning one so long |
established in business, and so well |
lnown in the west, that purchasers
will be dealt by fairly at Mr.. Claw
On's yards.
