Lost Rivers in the West.

About nine miles above the town, ON
the line of the old military road, tho
little Santa Cruz River disappears for
ever, working one of those strange
phenomena so often found in this coun-
try-lost rivers. Old residents say you
can hear its rumbllng underground. 1t
could, no doubt, be recovered. This
furnishes a plain illustration of the
truth of the theory so often preached of
the existence allover the inter-mountain
country OF su~bterranean streams, from
which it is possible to securewhat in this
arid belt may be regarded as an ample
supply of water. Afriend predicts that
it will not be ten years before the chief
assaults of the Eastern press on the
corrupt and lavish expenditure for inter
nal internal Improvements will no longer
be directed toward rivers and harbors,
but that it will hinge upon a more or
less comprehensive scheme for the pre-
servation of water, the mea of its dis
tribution. the construction of rescr-
voirs, and the recovery of lost rivers,
with expensive plans of forestry; all of
which my friend declares Congress will
be considering and the country east of
the Mississippi opposing. The people
here aver that one-half of this vast
mountain table land, which within the
boundary of the United States may be
roughly estimated at one thousand miles
north and south and the same distance
east and west, can by the careful recla-
nation and preservation of the water to
be found within it be made entirely use
full for agricultural and pastoral pur-
poses.-AqTzon0 Cor. P%hiladelphin Press.

Confidence Sadly Misplaced.
NEW BRUNSWICK, N. :

NEW BKCNsW1CK, n. J., Aug. q.
Freebooter John j. Hall, of the Fifth
Ward is missing with $4,000 borrowed
money. The Trenton Times states that
forged notes, aggregating between $40, 900
and $4,000, were discovered. The facts as
to these statements are hard to obtain, as
the principal sufferers are understood to be
Halls friends, and they refuse to divulge
the amount of losses. In Trenton Hall had
borrowed sums ranging from 800 to IS, 900.
Cornelius Hardenburg and Thomas Warren
are said to be the principal sufferers in
New Brunswick. The entire loss there will
probably amount to $4,000. Hall was con.
tractor for the Pennsylvania Railroad, and
it was an easy matter for him to borrow
from sub-contractors.

A Terrible Murder and Almost a LynchinA.

BALTIMORE, Md, Aug. q.
Intelligence was received here this even
ing of the brutal murder of E. B. Gallop,
the lessee of farm at Still Pond, Kent
County, Nd. The tragedy occurred early
yesterday morning, and such was the ex-
citement caused by the commission of the
dastardly act, and the indignation aroused
shereby, that the murderer, James L.
Leary, narrowly escaped being lynched by
the Infatuated residents in the neig!hor.
hood. All parties to the shocking affair
are respectfully connected and are in COM
Portable circumstances, Leary being
uncle of George Krebs, of Black & krebS,
of this city. He is represented as possess
ing quarrelsome and passionate DISPOSE
ton. He had formerly been lessee Of the
farm where the tragedy occurred. On Sat
urday quarrel ensued between Mrs. Cal
lop and Leary over q postal card, which
the former forgot to deliver to Leary AS
soon as it was received, and Leary abused
Mrs. Gallop in the most offensive IMAM
ner. When Mr.. Gallop returned his
wife informed him Of what had trans
plred. Gallop refrained from speak
ing to Leary until yesterday morning;
then the latter retorted sharply. Angry
words followed, but peace was restored
and the difficulty was supposed to have
been settled. Just at this moment, however,
Leary drew a sharp-bladed knife and
plunged it into Gallop's abdomen, intiicting
a fatal and horrible wound six inches wide,
cutting through the intestnes and literally
dsemboweling his victim. After lingering
in intense agony until this morning, death
ensued. Immediately after the stabbng
crowd of excited men gathered and marched
to Ga!lop's residence with the avowed in
tention of lynching the murderer. Mr..
Krebs, owner of large canning establish
ment, the employees at which place were
foremost in the desire to lynch Lcary, adj
dressed the mob and persuaded them not
to resort to violence but to allow the law to
take it's course. Leary was then removed
under strong guard to the Jail at Chester.

Shocking Accident to a Child.

bOSIoS, Aug. ~.
Miss Mollie Byram, eleven years old, the
daughter of Charles R. Byram, of Charles
ton, met with shocking accident this af-
ternoon. She climbed upon high fence to
gather some leaves, and while standing
upon the stringer near the top her foot
slipped. Instantly she threw her hands out
to grasp the fence, but unfortunately it was
studded thckly with long, sharp-pointed
nails, which pierced and terribly liberated
both hands. The nervous shock to the child
and her suffering may be imagined when it
is understood that she hung screaming with
no support but the nails piercing her flesh
until she could be taken down by persons
attracted by her cries. There is danger of
lockjaw, but no signs of it have yet ap-

WHEELING, W. Va, Aug. q.
At :o3 O'Clock this morning a collision
occurred on the P, c. & St. L. Road, about
one mile west of Mingo Junction, o., where
the memorable disaster of 1873 occurred.

pletely demolished, and four freight cars,
loaded with pork in boxes, lard in barrels
and oats in bulk, and the mail and express
cars of the passenger train were reduced to

the road where the accident occurred.
trains approaching can not be seen until
close on each other. The engineer OF the
passenger, Charles Wolfe, noticed the ap-
proach Of the freight train, and applied the
air brake and reversed the engine, but this
had little effect before the freight train,
composed of thirty cars and coming
down grade, crashed into him. The
passenger coaches and sleepers kept
the track and the passengers es-
capped with slight bruises and severe
shaking up. William Hoyt, postal clerk,
indianapolis, had leg broken and his
body was crushed so badly that he will die.
He was surrounded by debris requiring
chopping to release him. J.,B. Newman,
postal clerk, indianapolis, was slightly
hurt. Charles Wolfe, engineer of the pas
senger train, thumb amputated and badly
bruised about the body and head; will re-
cover. j: T. Watson and A. \. Brown, pos
tai clerks, Indianapolis; Joseph Little,
colored porter ON postal car, all slightly
hurt. The engineer of the freight and both
firemen jumped when they saw the dancer.
Engineer Wolfe stuck to his post. The
accident resulted from the carelessness of
