they stand to their old tried and true party
leaders, who havo worked their political sal
vation from tyrants like Malone.
Gen. Malone, the leader of Virginia coa-
lition, stands impeached before the country
for his bad faith in the terms of his late CO.
alitlon. He has failed to restore confidence
in the States credit; he has failed to read
Just the State debt satisfactorily to the
courts; he has failed to create confidence in
State institutions he has failed to ablot out
every vestagc of race distinction" from the
statute books of the State; he has
failed to divide the spoils of State
offices with his coored coadiutors,
and treats republicans as avowed
enemies. He failed in all he ever
promised his republican dupes. In Vir-
ginia he plays the role Of tyrant: in Wash
lngton he is insulting in his arrogance, and
invades the Departments with the air of
buccaneer, and appropriates their pat
ronage as u free. booter for personal ends.
Republicans are his spite, and colored men
the subjects of his brutal ingratitude
Can Virginia republicans longer hesitate
as to their plain duty, and can colored men
longer endure the political perfidy of q leader
of party without object OF principle? Let
them arise in their might and defeat this
dlsorganlzer OF their party, and avengc their
compatriots who have been despoiled of Of
hce and honors to reward treachcrous demo-
Gratis and unfaifhful republicans. Give the
nominees ofyour party your undivided sup
port and weld up the broken link that
should bind you to the national party. Col
ored republicans cannot fail to vote for Mr..
Dawson, q scholarly gentleman of their own
race, nominated by the republican party in
the State 1t is chance to assert the rights
of their race which they cannot neglect. If
they do they are unworthy of being called
republicans; and in failing to honor one of
their own race, they dishonor themselves,
and reproach their white friends with over
estimating their capacity to advance their
race.

MEDICINAL.
PLAIN
TRUTHS

The blood is the foundation of
life, it circulates through every part
Of the body, and unless it is pure
and rich, good health is impossible.
If disease has entered the system
the ony sure and quick way to drive
it out is to purify and enrich the
blood.
These simple facts are well
known, and the highest medical
authorities agree that nothing but
iron will restore the blood to lis
natural condition and also that
all the iron preparations hitherto
made blacken the teeth, cause head
ache, and are otherwise injurious.
Browns IRON BITTERs will thor
oughly and quickly assimilate with
the blood, purifying and strengthen
ing it, and thus drive disease from
any part Of the system, and it will
not blacken the teeth, cause head
ache or constipation, and is posi-
lively not injurious.

Completion Of the Alpine Tunnel in
Colorado.

The recent completion Of the Alpine tun-
mel by the Denver, South Park 81 Pacific Rail-
road Company demonstrates the daring ma
ture of the nineteenth century engineering,
and in addition thereto the tunnel is an OBJ
ject of interest as work of no ordinary char
acter. Through the courtesy Of Superintend
ent c. W. Fisher and Chief Engineer Evans,
the Nescs has been enabled to present the fol-
lowing facts regarding the huge artificial
cavern.
The tunnel is situated in Alpine Pass and
pierces the great continental backbone. The
summit of the mountain is also the boundary
line between Chaffee and Gunnison Counties,
entering the tunnel in the former county
and emerging in the latter. The town of Han
cock is situated about three miles to the east
of the eastern entrance, and Pitkn, nine miles
away is the first town encountered while Jour
neying westward.
The elevation of the tunnel was one Of the
serious obstacles encountered while perform
ing the work. At an altitude Of 1874 feet it
enters mountain whose crest is 1900 feet
above the sea, and constant changes were ne-
cessitated among the workmen, for only the
most robust could endure the effects of tia.
trance to the western exit the tunnel is |, 773
feet in length, while its height is Is feet, with
width of 1879 feet.
Tie work was commenced about two years
ago and it was pronounced finished on the
second day Of the present month. While the
benefits accrr,ing from the work to the rail
road company warranted the expense, it was
nevertheless expected or anticipated that ore
veins or bodies would be encountered. Any
hopes of such a nature were not realized,
however, for throughout its entire length de-
composed granite was the predominant char
acteristic of the rock. The interior is finished
throughout with California red wood, and
when completed the aggregate cost of the
work was found to be $685. 900. By means Of
the tunnel Gunnison and all points westward
are brought eighty miles nearer to Denver,
while the disadvantages accrung from COZ
slant warfare with the SHOWS are greatly
diminished as snow sheds for a short distance
from either end of the tunnel will protect the
track and permit uninterrupted transit, when
this would not be practicable were the road to
traverse the labyrinth of canyons necessary to
gain the desired point.
To . certain extent railroading at very high
attitudes is even now experimental, and the
difficulties to be surmounted are more serious
than would be imagined from a hasty glance
At the subject. Shorter curves and sleeper
curves than were deemed practicable ten years
ago are now constantly and advantsgeously
employed by the mountain roads, and think
ing men are beginning to appreciate the ad-
vantages to be derived by employing tunnels
as a saver of distances, while the danger from
foods and SHOWS incident to the trsversing of
water-course canyons are an important factor
in the estimates embodying the original cost
and the repairs. Nelcs.

A Terrible Death.

About three months ago the wife Of Mr..
Kennedy Gray, an eugraver, residing at No.
1916 Van Buren, street, was bitten by a mad
dog, and few days since hydrophobia set in,
resulting in her death yesterday morning. It
appears that she discovered the dog, large
black one, on her stoop, and attempted to
drive it away, but the brute snapped At her and
bit her hand The rabid canine sprang at her,
and she then caught it by piece Of broken
rope, which was around it's neck. The dog was
too heavy for her to throw it of, but she
managed to keep it from fastening its teeth in
her throat, though, as it snapped from side to
side, her hands and arms were severely LAGER
ated
The braye woman then caught the brute by
the lower jaw. and undertook to hold it until
help could come, but the dog broke away from
her and ran. In the yard it attacked q small
dog belonging to the family, but did not sue
coed in biting it. On the street It succeeded
in biting several stray animals before citizen
shot It. One of the dogs bitten has since Bit
ten alsdy living in the vicinity, and the neigh
borhood is greatly excited over the affair.
Mrs. Gray went to Van Buren's drug store and
had her wounds cauterized. The wounds
healed rapidly, and Mrs. Gray experienced no
trouble till last Saturday, when she became
sick. The following day she was seized with
spasms, and DR.. Philon c. Whidden was sum-
moned. He found the unfortunate lady in .
critical condition and with marked symptoms
of hydrophobia.
The usual remedies were applied, but moth
ing could be done to save the lady's life, and
what was administered was given simply 20
alleviate her sufferings. Saturday noon she
displayed . great loathing for food, and the
sight Of water threw her into spasms. The
least noise disturbed her, and q breath Of air
was sufficient to put her into commissions. She
realized the hopelessness Of her case from the
first, and few hours before her death called
the family about her and talked to them, ~
calling her life and cxhorting them to live
useful future. Her remains will be taken East
for interment. Inter-Ocea

/ Down-Hill Fight.

+ One of those curious and dangerous epi-
sodes that characterize the miners life In the
snowy mountains Of Colorado was brought to
the attention Of the reporter yesterday. Tom
Cox and Jim Null are two miners working far
mp on the bleak, snowy slopes of Mount FL
bert, near Twin Lakes. They sleep in tent
near the mouth of Golden Lode, in which they
were working all night, when they went int
the tent for the purpose Of going to sleep.
One Of them got IN bed and, enveloping him
self with the blankets, was snug and comfort
able and drowsy In moment. The
other, not in SO great hurry, noticed that the
melting snow was dripping through the roof Of
the tent and right where he had to sleep. He
couldn't stand wet couch, and, arousing his
companion, asked him to get up so that the
bed might be moved to position where the
melted snow would not touch it. His sleepy
partner growled out refusal. There was
hot reply, and in less time than it takes to
write it the two men were engaged In fierce
personal encounter. They were both clad In
their night shirts alone, and small tent is but
limited space for two angry men to fight each
other in. They had hardly clinched before one
carried the other through the front flaps of
the tent.
Right here it is necessary to say that the
tent was pitched on the fearfully steep slope
of Mount Ebert, and there wasn't more than
two feet of level ground between the front Of
the tent and the precipitous slope Of the
mountain. This slope was covered with four
feet of soft snow, and it extended down for
1000 feet before there was resting place. In
the fierce fight between the two miners they
were carried down the dizzy slope, and, with
their hands upon each others threats, they
went whirling down the mountain like pair
ofbowlders. They had gone but short dis
lance when anger vanished in the presence of
. possible death, and each man tur ed his
attention to the paramount work of saving
his life. Down they went along the fear
full slant of the great mountain, and at each
revolution they sunk in the soft snow
sometimes head first and sometimes feet
first They were paralyzed with fright, and
no sound escaped their lips. The further
down they went, the greater the momentum
of their bodies, and when about 500 feet from
the point where they started, they bounded
in the air and alighted in snow so deep that
they stuck fast. After arduous efforts they
IhahaScu W eA1ticaIc shcinsesee anu Sct oack
to their tent, bruised and bleeding and their
quarrel healed. No matter what the future
has in store for these two men, they will
never forget the time when they were whirlng
down the snowy slopes of the continental d.
vide of North America, and a snow drift saved
them from landing 1,500 feet below, in con-
dition in which none but the Coroner and the
undertaken would feel any practical interest
in them. They are the best of friends now.
and will, doubtless, continue so.-.Leadvills
