Bow People DIE Miss Nightingale has
pointed ont how constantly the mental
state of The dying depends on their physi.
cal condition. As a rule, she tells us, in
acute cases interest in their own danger is
rarely felt. " Indifference, excepting with
regard to bodily suffering, or to some duty
the dying man desires to perform, is the
far more usual state. But patients who
die Of consumption very frequently die in
state Of seraphic joy and peace; the
countenance almost expresses rapture. Pa.
tients who die of cholera, peritonitis, etc.,
on the contrary, often die in state ap-
preaching despair. In dysentery, diarrhosl,
or fever, the patient often dies in state
of indifference. Those who have care.
fully examined the dead on battlefield,
or in the streets after an eneute, are struck
with the fact that while the expression on
the faces of those who have died by gun.
shot wounds is one of agony and distress,
the dead by sword have calmer expires.
sion, thoagh their wounds often seem more
painful TO the eye. A very careful OBJ
server, who was through the Indian mu-
tiny, entirely confirms this. After giving
several instances, he says: GA rapid
death ~ steel is almost painless. Saber
edge or .oint divides the nerves SO quickly
as to give little pain. a bullet iacerates. "

SECOND DISPATCHl

RENO, November 24Sh.-Nothing more can
be sscertained regarding the reported trouble
between the Washoes and Piutes. IL is said
the fight occurred az Mud Lake, about 90
miles from Wadsworth, but the rumor still
lscks confirmation. The few Indians remain
ing here are very reticent. 1t has bsen ex.
pscted for long time thst hostilities would
break out between the two tribes. The last
fight they had was on the IA n Of June, 1868,
when the Piutes tried TO take hor4e away
from a Washoe. Since the war of 1859 the
Washoes had not been permitted by the Pi.
utes to own a horse or keep a gun. On that
day about 100 Piutes attacked band of
Washoes about two miles south of where
Reno is now located, and thsy have been at
loggerheads since that time. The Piutes
have held the Washoes under subsection for
years, and rebeliious spirit has been rank
ling in the Washoes' hearts for long time.
The sore was torn open afresh about eighteer
mouths ago, when Piute murdered one If
the Washoe tribe.

TRACK RuILnING.

A large force of meu at work on the
track of the Rock Island and Milan street
car line have nearly completed the line to
Eleventh street The rails were placed
originally above the grade on Seventeenth
street The street and alley committee of
the city council entered an objection, and
the track was lowered some six inches so
as to come down to the level of that street.
This change retarded work somewhat, but
the rails are now in position South on Sew
enteenth street to Seventh avenue, and
West on that avenue to twelfth street
Some little filling up is necessary, however,
on that portion of the line. The gradin 9
of the main line has all been accomplished
and when the track laying is commenced
out of the city limits, it can be vigorously
performed. and will enable the contractor
to complete the entire line by the First of
next month. Yesterday the grading of the
branch line from Searstown to Black
Hawk tower was commenced. This will
only require few days, and another force
of men can be placed on the branch line,
as soon as the grading thereof has been
finished.

AN UNKNOWN.

The coroner has failed to discover any
evidence that WILL in the least identify the
remains found floating in the river at An
dalusia last Thursday. 1t has previously
been stated that only the lower half of the
body was found, which will render identi-
fication next to impossible, and may neces-
state a second investigation when the
head and body of the deceased comes to
light. The remains were badly decom-
posed, and gave every evidence of having
been in the water for some months. 1t
had the appearance of having been sever
ed from the trunk, and it was thought that
the remains were those of one of the vic
Tins of the Jennie Gilchrist disaster, as a
number of the bodies lost in the disaster
have never been discovered A portion of
the clothing was saved by the coroner and
will be used by him TO identify the remains.
The portion of the body was buried. and
will probably remain in the grave of an
unknown man.
