How He Got the Best of the Railroad.

From the San Bernardino, (Col} IDdex.J
It is not often that a big corporation
like the Southern Pacific Railroad
proves incompetent IN contest against
a penniless, single handed man, and we
record the following to note the excep-
ton: The Southern Pacific engineer
while securing the country for water on
the desert about twenty-four miles from
the Colorado River, saw few tufts of
grass IN little valley. He put work
men to digging IN the ground and de-
veloped about four inches of clear run
ming water, furnishing beautiful sup
ply for all purposes. AS the work pro-
gressed they abandoned the spring tenn
porarily. A prospector came along and
stopped at the spring to drink Of the
pure liquid. Perhaps the intensity OF
his thirst induced him to gaze longer
into its pure depths. Perhaps, IN his
fevered vision, after long struggle over
dreary mountains and dusty deserts, he
saw mirrored in the water a sparkling
mine Of silver. At any rate he tested
the sand that drifted about and got a
trace of silver. This little trace of silver
resolved into S1G0 q ton. Here, then,
was the realization of his hopes, and he
went right to work to rob the big cor
poration He located the spring for a
mill site and the ground as mineral land
ali of which is right and holds IN law.
He notified the company to quit using
his water, and they have complied ODE.

Dispatches from Rome, under date of
the 29th, give details of terrible earth
quake which in magnitude and hor.
ror eclipse anything of the kind
which has been recorded in history for
centuries. The Island of Ischia, in the
Mediterranean, seven miles distant from
the shore of Puzzoli and twenty-three
miles from Naples, was shaken from its
foundations. Vineyards, farms, mines,
baths and summer residences by the
hundred were destroyed. About 5000
lives were lost. The loss of life is based
on the estimate of the government off
cials, who consider their figures lower
than the actual facts viii probably war
rant. Many thousands of the injured
we're removed to the mainland, the
government having acted promptly and
called into action every department.
The list OF killed is estimated at from
5000 to 4,0C0 Many who have seen
the destruction at Casamicciola and
other points believe the dead and injured
will number more than two-thirds of the
population. No one places the disaster
below $4,000. The dispatch says the
destruction was most complete at Casa
mlcclola, the famous pleasure resort,
with its hot springs and baths, the Sar-
atoga of Italy, situated at the foot of
Mount San Nicolo, volcanic mountain
1900 feet in height, which has for sew
eral centuries been regarded as quite ex-
tinct. The shocks began at $50 o'clock
at night. At that hour majority Of
the people of the upper classes were at
the theater. Nearly all of the houses in
the town collapsed, and it is estimated
that 3 200 persons were killed and 500
injured. The impression produced by
the disaster is indescribable. The cen
ter of the area of the shock was the same
as that Of two years ago, but the radius
wider. The shock was felt at sea, and
according to some accounts even at
Naples

SPARED Of having the race, on account
of the high wind that prevailed all day.
Ross won the choice and selected the
outside course, explaining that he was
afraid the small boats would interfere
with him. Hanlsn led off easily and
kept length ahead through the first
mile, 70 tIng 81 strokes to Ross 80. At
the 4-mile flag, Hanlan stopped rowing
and then made % strokes to Ross %,
and soon was three lengths ahead. Han
lan made the turn in minutes, twelve
lengths ahead of Ross. On the third
mile Hanlan slowed up and took drink

A store of good things are contained in the

it does credit, as usual, to Mr.. Adrich's

conclusion of Miss Sarah Orne Jewetps

her pleasantest vein. Perhaps the most
noticeable things in the number are poem

Dover, a stirring ballad of the old days of
Quaker persecution in New England, and a
paper entitled Mr. Emerson in the Lecture

To Much Preface.

A curious story of the late Lord Derby bias
just come to light. When he was prime
minister of England he offered the lord high
commissionership to the general assembly of
the Church OF Scotland TO certain peer,
who in reply wrote four long pages setting
forth numerous reasons against his accep.
lance, but in the last three lines declaring
his willingness to take the office. Now, as
Professor Goodwin Smith has said, Lord
Derby was VIGOROUSLY indoent. He only
took the trouble to read the first two pages
of the letter, and, concluding from them
that his correspondent wished to decline the
honor, at once offered the commissionership
to another man, who Immediately accepted
1t. Of course the first candidate was furi-
GUS, and also dreadfully bewlldered, but
both he and Lord Derby died without find
ing how the mistake occurred.
