LETTER FROM RINGoEs.
RINaoEs. N. j., Oct. 90, 1888.

hINaOES, IN D., Oct. 90 1000
A few questions for consideration
Will it ever clear aud sun shine again
Will the plank walk ever be repaired or
rebuilt?
Will the Republicans of our township,
turn out and help elect Dixon for Gov
ernor?
Will the people join with us in giving
three cheers for our new station?
Will some enterprising citizen start
subscription for new plank walk
Will the Prohibitionists of our village,
stick to their motto and vote the Prohi-
bition ticket?
Will our village be the scene of disor-
der and drunkenness, on election day?
Will the Democrats of good principle,
read Abbetts record and then vote as
their conscience tells them to?
Will those of our citizens having poor
walks in front of their residences, repair
them and put them in proper shape?
The season allowed by law for killing
of game, is now at hand, and as our viii
lage is the home of many sportsmen, we
may expect that great many rabbits,
quails, &C., will be slaughtered the first
day that the law will allow of such.
We notice some of our citizens engaged
raking up the loose leaves In their door
Yards and otherwise cleaning up their
Yards. We have some pretty front yards
in our village and we are glad to see that
the owners of them are bound to keep
them looking nice.
Miss Annie Williamson, Musical In
structor in the Female Institute at Lewis
burg, Penn, is enjoying visit of few
days TO her parents, near our village.
Miss Williamson is looking fine and we
are glad to learn, is possessed of good
health.
Politics is booming somewhat in our
village, and East Amwell will do well for
Dixon. Let every Republican vote the
solid ticket.
The sociable held at the parsonage of
the Presbyterian Church, last Friday eve
ming. was we'll attended, Notwithstanding
the unpropitious state of the weather.
Music, social games, charades, &c, fur

A RIVAL OF NIAGARA.

Two Omaha capitalists and banker, of
Butte, Montana, have embarked in no less
an enterprise than the purchase of water
fall-the Big Shoshone-in Idaho. Until
six months ago the property was not in
sight and its existence was only known
Through the report of an occasional hunter,
who, reaching the edge of the basin which
surrounds the approach to the falls, peered
at them curiously at a distance of three
fourths of a mile and gained only an I'M
satisfactory impression of vast body OF
water, much spray and more roar. From
the edge of this basin there was no sure
footing to nearer point of view. Blasting
and picking have cut path through the
rocky sides to the waters edge and the falls
can now be as easily viewed as Niagara.
The Snake river, which forms the falls, is
ut this point deep stream, running for
twenty-five miles through lava rocks hun
dreds of feet in height. At the falls, which
are 1900 feet wide and have descent of
sl0 feet, the rocks loom up grandly to from
500 to 1000 feet in height. Their brown
walls are utterly bare and, except for a
grass. plot of few acres, with cool spring
and shady grove, which border the falls,
the scene is one Of utter desolation For
miles beyond the lava beds stretch away,
will only the sage brush and cactus to re-
lieye their barren waste.
Three miles above are the Twin Falls,
with descent Of 1870 feet and cloyen by
huge rock. The river is broad and deer
between the Twin Falls ard the Big She

exciting, but not necessarily dangerous.
Perpendicular wallis rise on either side and

bounds dozen times. Several tourists who
have visited the place within few weeks de-
clare it q wonder and do not hesitate to
draw comparisons with Niagara. - Omaha

the whole column of $50 inches is forced

the part OF the pipe having the nozzle,
can be moved in any direction by one or
two men. The roar can be heard half

side, will cause 1t to melt away like wax

stumps roll and tumble before this force
like ball from child's hand. Earthly
matter passes into solution and with sand
gravel and small stones is carried by the
stream down the mountain side into
troughs or sluice boxes, the bottoms Of
which have strips of wood nailed across
few inches apart. Gold being heavier
than the rest, lodges between these strips
and the rest of the debris is carried away
by the water. At suitable intervals the
boxes or troughs are cleaned and the gold
collected. Game as well as gold abounds
in this region, but the mountains are so

Burial of the Suicide and His victim-aOw
the Deed Was Done.
Special to the Sentinel:
NINCENNEs Ind, June 1.-THE funeral of
Charles Pollock and wife, victims of Satur-
day nights tragedy. occurred to-day, both
being buried in one grave. Mrs. Pollock
was beautiful beyond expression. No
shadow of pain was ID the strange beauty of
the still features, and IL was hard to realize
that she would not presently awake to won
der at the weeping relatives and friends sur
rounding the white bier.
Details, IL addition TO those telegraph ed
last night, are scarcely obtai na6le. X is
known that the suicide premeditated his act,
as he made several attempts to borrow a
weapon on the afternoon of Saturday, and
failing, rented the revolver with which the
deed vas committed at Elure's gun store,
procuring it after supper. What passed be-
tween the suicide aRd his victim just prior
10 the shooting can never be known, as not a
word, ,excepta CRY OF Charley, don't Charley,
don't" from the wife. preceding the first
fire was heard by any of the inmates of the
bOaSC. 1t is surmised that Pollock disrosed
and laid down upon the bed beside mis- wife,
who had retired short time before he came
hone; then placed his left arm around her,
and while holding her in his embrace, fired
with the weapon near her. The ball cutting
the flesh of he- lett arm, entered near the
center of her breast, wounding, if net pene-
trsting the heart. She sprang from the bed
and fell in the hall, Just outside her chamber
door. A sister of POllOck's attracted by the
cry and the shot, raised her from the floor,
and that instant heard from the room the
second shot, and upon entering, found
Charles lying upon the bed with a wound in
the abdomen. He lived but fifteen minutes.
and uttered no intelligable words. The
murder of his wife was evidently prompted
by an insane delusion that he could by this
double crime end his own miserable ex-
istence and not be separated from the one he
loved.

wrecks that has occurred on the j., NJ. and

miles south of this city, passenger train No.
2, leaving Indianapolis at GAO this
evening going into a ditch where
bridge had been washed
out by the continued rain of the past TWEEN
ty-fOur hours. The t.ain passed here on
time in charge Of Conductor McClelland,
but was running slow on account of the
weather. The bridge referred to was washed
out; the engine plunged into it, pulling
with it the baggage car, sleeping coach and
psrlor car, but leaving the two passenger
coaches standing on the track.
Upon examination of the wreck
it was found that Engineer Dan Hutchinson,
Fireman Willard Hpmes and Baggage-mas-
Ter George Ammons were dead, and also the
conductor of the Woodruff sleeping car,
whose name could not be learned. As soon
as the news was received in this
city a wrecking train was telegraphed Tor at
Columbus and soon arrived at the scene of
the accident. The track is now being
rapidly cleared. There were about 100 pas
sengers on board the ill-fsted train, aud how
the loss of life was so small is simply a
mystery. Several were badly hurt.
