1t is not often that long service in any en-
ployment is a positive hindrance to man in
doing his work well but the president of the
Delaware and Hudson Canal Company yester-
day testified to discouraging exception to the
rule. Before the Senate special committee
now investigating the Spuyten Duyvil disas-
ter, he declared that many railway employees
grow careless through long immunity from ac-
cident. He estimates that 10 per cent OF the
disasters can be traced to this cause.

Our dispatch from London this morning
points out an exasperating element affecting
the negotiations now pending for the re-
lease of the Irish-Amencan suspects. Inc
prisoners, it seems would nave ac-
cepted their liberty on the conditions
offered them three weeks ago If they had
acted on their own wishes. But the Parnelil'e
leaders peremptorily forbade it. Whatever mo-
tives may influence the Irishmen in America
in their demand that their friends who have
been naturalized here shall not be locked UP
in English jails, there can be no doubt that
the revolutionists in Ireland are doing their
best to embroil the British Government ana
our own in serious trouble. They are not hkely
to succeed. Another result of this agltat'on'
ard one which was to be naturally expected,
is that certain men who have been quiet III
prison for months now declare that they are
American citizens, and demand the interier-
ence of Mr.. Lowell

While explorers are so disastrously baulked
in the Polar regions, it is encouraging to read
that discoverer, whose expenses are paid by
the French Government and citizen of New
York, has found great city in Central
America never before visited by white men.
This is called "the Phantom City," and it is
situated in the country of the Locandones in
Guatemala. Reports about it from natives of
Deighboring districts contain all the elements
OF romance,-white turrets cleaning III the
sun. inhabitants who keep up the customs
and habits of the times Of the Spanish in
vasion, and monuments with inscriptions
thousands Of years old. Some persons have
believed this city to be only mirage seen
from the tops of lofty mountains; but if it
shall prove to be anything more substantial,
It Is O matter of great interest.

The meeting to further plans for the higher
education of women, which was held yester-
day in the hall of the Union League Ciio'
was marked by good deal of interest Inc I'M
mediate object seemed to be to persuade Colum-
bia to try coeducation. 1t has been ursed tna''
owing TO its situation in a great city and the
absence of many medieval traditions and con-
ventionalities, this institution is particularly
fitted to try the experiment. The experience
of the University of Michigan in admit
ing women has been commented upon.
Ann Arbor where it is situated, is
small town, and, if Columbia should open her
doors without regard to sex, comparison OF
the workings of coeducation in large and a
small city might be instructive. 1t is fact
which we state as fact, and not as an argu-
mcnt on either sde,-that the first woman who
entered the University of Michigan married
the young man who sat next her during reel
tations. The classes in Latin and Greek were
then, and are yet, we believe, arranged III al
phabetical order.

A DEPI.ORABLE ACCIDENT.
The Foreman Of the .sTimeS', Office Laid
Up for a Week or So.

About half-past !, o'clock last even
ing II. c, Baker, foreman Of the TINES
office, accidentally run piece of glass
into his right arm, inflieting upon him
self a cut three inches long and
nearly an inch deep. He was taken
to Riley & Tracy's drugstore, where
DIR. Miller dressed his wound, and said
that he would be unable to work for
a week, at least. As there is no other
available printer on the river, the
TINES force will be seriously crippled
by being deprived Of its foreman, and
the delivery Of job work already or
dered will be delayed two or three

He Had the Caps.

4 correspondent writes to the San
Francisco Exchange from Plymouth,
Amador county, and relates the fol-
lowing incident:
| am engaged here opening some
mines. Professor W. T. Jenney,
Levi Jenney, A. I. Henson and his
son and myself were sitting at the
mouth Of the Pioneer tunnel recently
prospecting quartz. We were all oc-
cupied, some crushing in hand NOR
tar, others panning the quartz out,
etc. 4 miner named Jones came out
of the tunnel looking for some pow
der. told him to go up the hill,
which is about l5o feet high and very
steep from the tunnel, so much SO that
we have to unload all our material on
the mountain above and slide it from
there down, and he would there find a
5o-pound box Of giant powder car
tridges; also, some steel for drills, and
bring them down. After short time
W. were all startled by a noise over
us, and in looking up we saw the box
of giant powder, then the steel, then
Jones trying to catch them, coming
down the mountain. Before we could
move, the box fell on the track, burst
open, and in striking broke through a
two-inch plank. Why it did not ex-
olode is mystery to ne. As soon as
| got on my feet | hulloed to Jones,
.sWhat in HI do you mean?' He
answered back, s'It's all right; | have
the caps in my pocket

cat was caught and every means tried
to give it shock, but it was discov.

THE OREGON SHORT LINE.
1t VIII Not Reach Naples before Febra-
airy or March.

The end of the track on the Oregon
Short Line is now 40 miles east Of
Naples, and SO miles east of the stage
crossing. Corrigan & Carlislc's forces
are working on the grade from point
10 miles east Of the crossing to point
% miles east. There is one cut Is
feet deep in lava to be completed, and
which will require 80 days to finish.
If the railroad trains reach the kelton
crossing by February l, no stop will
be made until the Junction is reached
which will be two weeks later. The
traeklayers are not expected to reach
Naples before the middle of February
or beginning Of March.
1t will take some time longer, how
ever, for the mail, express and passeE-
ger travel to be changed from the
present routes via kelton or Black
foot, as it is said to be the intention Of
the railway company not to put pas
senger, mail or express coaches on the
road before the middle Of April 9,
first of May.

STAMPS STAMPS!! STAMPS
The Postal Supplies Exhausted None to
be Obtained In this Region.

NO postage stamps or stamped en-
velops can be had at the Haley Post
office, the supplies having become ex-
hausted about month ago. A SINH
lar state of affairs exists, we are in
formed, in Bellevue, ketchum, Black
foot, and other places which have
been applied to by our local officials
When Postmaster Parsons left for
Boise, few days ago, he said that he
would endeavor to send in lot of
stamps from that place, if he could
get them. As no stamps have be. n
received, it is likely that he could not
secure any.
The blame for this scarcity of sup
plies must lie with the postal authori-
ties at Washington, as the complaint
is general in this section, and not con-
fined to any particular locality. But
it makes no difference to the public
who is to blame; the annoyance
caused by the lack Of stamps is great
and great deal of business CORE.
spondenee must Of necessity be with
held.
When Mr.. Singiser goes to Wash
ington the people Of Alturas count,
will expect him to stir u the s. ply
clerks of the Postoffice Department
and see to it that they do not cut u
short with less than half our necdfu
quantity Of supplies.

THE MANDAMUS CASE.
1t is Only Partly Decided by Judge
Prickett

The Boise Statesman of tn, 9th
states that the mandamus case against
the County Commissioners of Alturas
county, was only partially decided by
Judge Pickett last Friday. 1t is un-
derstood that the Judge held that the
Canvassing Board had some discre-
tionary power, or in other words exer-
cised judicial discretion, in determin.
ing whether the returns were SO ir-
regular that they could not be re-
ceived He held that the answer Of
the Commissioners, while it undertook
to plead the gularity Of the returns,
did not state enough, or at any rate,
it did not point out the irregularity
with sufficient certainty. The defen-
dants' counsel took leave to amend
their answer, and will do SO this
morning. The returns would be the
best evidence of their regularity OIL
irregularity, and will probably be
brought into court before the case i.
disposed Of.
