when they were run down by q snow pillow.
At the time the snow was blowing so badly
that the men did not hear the approach Of
the engine, and the engineer did not sec

| walking, one on each side Of the car, and
managed to jump out of the way and pre-

very seriously injured. Fred. Erickson

that he can survive.

Fast Trains to the Pacific.

A statement is published in Troy, N.
Y, as coming from a prominent railroad
man that Mr.. Vanderbilt's special train to
San Francisco will be run on a new fast
schedule, and that before next Summer a
passenger express will run regularly from
New York to San Francisco with a reduc-
ton from the present time Of from 80 to
SO hours. 1t is said that Mr.. Vanderbilt
will give the matter q close examination
during the coming trip, and that soon
after his return a public announcement Of
the new running time will be made, show
ing o shortening Of time between New
York and Chicago from SO hours, the
present time, to "a hours by the pro-
posed new schedule, and from Chicago
to Omaha, by the Chicago & Northwestern
Railway, 90 hours to 10, making q saving
of 16 hours between New York and Omaha.
From Omaha to Ogden by the Union
Pacific Railway the present running
time is 81 hours, and by the proposed
schedule the time will be reduced to AZ
hours, and from Ogden to San Francisco
by the Central Pacific Railroad the time
will be reduced from 80 to 20 hours.
making a saving Of Is hours between
Omaha and San Francisco and a total re-
duotion OF running time between New
York and San Francisco of "a hours.
Thus the entire journey can be made in
about four and one-half days. instead OF
over six DAYS as at present.

To make condensed milk, the milk is
subjected to q heat Of some ESQ degrees,
which, it is said, scalds it. By q new pro-
cess the heat is only about 1870 degrees,
and the product is called evaporated milk.
When the time Of exposure to that moder-
ate heat is sufficiently prolonged all the
watery part of the milk is driven off, and
the remnant is tough, solid mass, creamy
white in color, and much resembling a
dried chunk Of wheat -four dough. That
is granulated, by artificial meansi a little
fine white sugar is added to make it keep,
and thon it looks like corn meal, and Is
called granulatsd milk. The evaporated
milk Is only about half as near solid as
the condensed milk, but is very rich, and
30 little affected by the process through
which it has passed that when water is
added the most delicate taste cannot detect
q difference between 1t and pure, natural
milk; cream rises on it, and butter can be
made from it. The same desirable pecul-
~iarities belong to the granulated milk.
The granulatad ia made to keep in all
climates, for any desired length Of time.

PRO AND CON.
A Spat Over the EngrOssment Of
MeIarkey's Bill.


The anti-raiiroad bill Of Assemblyman
Melarkey, which has already been 80
amended that the Carson Appeal says its
author would not recognize it if he should
pick it up ON the street, was brought be-
fore the House last Saturday by Mr.. Har-
din on motion to suspend the rules and
order it engrossed.
Mr.. Brown jumped up to oppose the en-
grossment.
Hardin urged that there had already
been very great and unnecessary delay,
and he thought the consideration OF the
measure would be advanced by the pro-
posed engrossment. To engross the bill
placed tho opponents at 40 disadvantage.
Hence their fighting the motion was cap
tious and altogether an eX parte act in ia
vor of the corporations inc a gagging of
the representatives of the people.
Pike said the Corporation Committee
had been sitting on the bill only five
weeks. They might hatch something out
OF it by the end of the session, but more
likely the result would be a rotten egg, if,
in fact, the egg were not very badly faint
ed already.
TAFT, the Chairman of the interesting
COululiIte6, IOSo eAClt6uiS Ii shlu III oD-
jected to misstatements and i~nnuendoes.
Considerable feeling was manifested all
over the House. and the enactment brought
a dozen railroad and anti-railroad men,
bers spasmodically to their feet.
The Speaker grasped his gavil and beat
a rat-tat-too for a minute, without avail,
and then gave one crashing blew that sent
the splinters flying from his desk. Silence
was restored.
Pike was several times ordered to his
seat.
Bell stated that he had been at every
meeting of the committee called, any state
ment to the contrary Notwithstanding.
He now proposed to hold every bill strictly
to the rule.
Motion lost; 81 in the negative.
Hardin rose to q question of privilege
and stated that he had cast no reflections
upon the committee, and did not wish to
be SO understood.
And the waters were oiled.

COUNTY FEES.
should Officers Retain them TO Pay

mould Officers Retain them to Fay
Themsel yes First?
We have heard no complaint Of the
county officers Of Eureka failing to com
ply with the Salary Law, section 10, but
this provision seems to be disregarded, if
not altogether ignored in some counties.
The White Pine News goes after the Off
Gals Of White Pine County in this matter
pretty sharply. 1t says:
The system that has to some extent
found favor in this county since the Salary
Law came into operation OF officers retain
ing the money they took in as fees, until
the county settled with them, or it pleased
their convenience to turn over their funds,
is one that opens the door to great abuse,
and our County Commissioner should
squelch out the practice at once n for
ever. 1t is true there is some plausibility
in the plea set up by the officials that the
county failed to fulfil its contract with
them by not paying their salaries monthly,
but even this ia no excuse at all. Other
people who work for the county have to
wait till there is money in the proper
funds to pay them. These officials are
simply employees of the county. What well
conducted business house would tolerate
the practice among its employees to retain
all the income Of its business on the plea
that the firm may owe them for wages
The officials nave their recourse, like any
other creditor, if the county does not pay
them, but under the law, they have no
right to retain the county revenue to pay
themselves. And now that our Board of
Commissioners seem to have awakened to a
realization of their duties and responsible
ties, we hope to see them put a stop to this
unlawful and very Objectionable system
that has for the past two years been prac-
ticed to a greater or less extent. Section
10 of the Officers Salary Law (Nev. Stat.
1879 provides:
1.-The several officers named in this Act
shall, from and after the day named in the
first section of this Act, collect and safely
keep all fees, percentages and compensa-
tions of whatever nature and kind allowed
them by law for services rendered by them
or their deputies in their several official
capacities; and they shall, on the first
Monday in each month, pay the same over
ia the County Treasurer Of their respective
county,"
Section 81 Of the same Act provides that
a neglect or refusal to comply with the pro-
visions of this Act subjects the offender, on
conviction, to fine of Sc, 200, ~ to forfeit
their offices, to imprisonment in the State
Prison not less than one year nor more
three years, or to any one or more Of said
penalties in the discretion of the Court.

A startling Haze.

Between half past u and | o'clock yes
terday morning the SCOT in the fiue floln
the residence of r. Ryland caught afre
and made q very startling blaze. The
flames rose some three or four feet from
the top of the fue, when the bowling wind
kept it cut down, and sent sparks flying
over the neighborhood. For nearly an
hour the brilliant column Of flames doomed
up in the darkness, shedding sparks as
from a mammoth Roman candle. 1t was
showing violently at the same time, how
ever, and as fast as the sparks flew off they
were extinguished. The whole %neighbor-
hood for two or three streets around was
illuminated, and many persons were on
the lookout for a house afre, but no alarm
was raised. Some time after / O'Clock the
SCOT was consumed. and the %neighbors
turned into bed, assured of safety, but still
a little nervous.
