Her First Railroad Ride.

A young lady well known on Wood
river, who was born and raised in Ida
no, and who had never seen steam
boat or railroad ear, recently left for q
trip south, and much interest was ex-
pressed there by her friends as to her
first impressions of the outer world =
She always evinced such an even de-
neanor that many friends believed she
would pass am old traveller; but let
ter just received from her escort proves
that young lady, even one of Idaho's
fairest. and one that can calmly re-
gard the wild Indian on the war-patb. IL
unequal to the occasion of calmly passing
throughthe surprises of modern progress.
She became skittish at the approach
of the evening lightning express, with
its great bullss-eye headlight, and ac-
tually pranced when the train neared
the depot and blew Tong, shrill whis-
tie. Her friends could not quiet her or
coax her, and. finally, rather than he
left, they blindfolded the Young LADY,
and by main force landed her safely an
the train. The letter remarks il was
fortunate the windows were so small 81
she frequently attempted to get ont and
could not be convinced that the tele-
graph poles, the hills aud houses were
not all whirling past her as she sat in
tne car, and every time they crossed a
bridge she shut her eyes, believing thecars
were flying in the air across the rivers.

A Caution to Plumbers.

A decision was rendered in an En-
glish court recently, which is, TO say the
least. highly suggestive. A plumber
sued civil engineer for the cost OF
erecting a layatory, something near
$3.50. The defendant made counter
claim of $500. on the ground that the
plumbers work was improperly done,
thereby allowing sewer gas TO enter caus.
ing the illness of six members of the de-
PENDANTS household and the death of
his son.
The plaintiffs claim was denied hv
the court, and judgment was given for
the defendant.
This decision might or might not
have any direct effect upon the action
o. an American court in case of that
.;alI yeI the awarding OF consequent
tai damages for bad work by An EngIisb
court furnishes a,warning which Care

SATURDAYS STORM.
It Raises Cain Generally in its Mad Career
A Lightning Stroke Kills Daven
port Laborer.

The somewhat premature warm and
rather oppressive weather which existed
the latter part of last week had tenden-
/ cy to bring on shower, and therefore
when the clouds gathered in the south
east and west on Saturday, no one was
surprised, and an April shower was
expected. But that opinion was soon
dispelled as the clouds grew black as ink,
and the .thunder's sullen roar was accom-
panied by the lightning's vivid flash.
The advance of the storm king was her
| aided by a furious gale which was terrific
in its force, and sent things flying in
every direction. Soon the clouds began
to relieve themselves of their watery
fluid, and the rain descended in torrents
The deluge did not last long. however,
although the heavens looked threatening
for some time.
WHAT 1T DID.
The wind came up SO suddenly that it
took people unawares and handled some
uRceremonionsly, filing their eyes with
dust. and it was amusing to see the num-
Der of hats without owners. The fury of
the gale startled several teams, but no
great damage was accomplished AT the
intersection of Second avenue and
Eighteenth street there was general
stampede of horses. and it looked for a
time as though serious results would be
the outcome.
A barrel on Darts Sons wagon was
hurled in the face of a team standing in
the rear, who were fastened TO an iron
post. They pulled back suddenly and
Jerked the post and part of the sidewalk
with them, but did not get away.
Chimneys were felled and fences low
cred by the force of the.wind, branches
torn from trees, and boards from lumber
piles, etc, were sent through the air with
remarkable speed. The top of the c. j.
Coffrey's pilot house was blown skyward
In Davenport the storms visit caused
the loss of life, as well as doing consider
able damage. Lawrence Mulvehill, a
section hand on the southeastern division
of the c., r. /. Il p road was killed by
stroke of lightning while seeking shelter
near hand car. three miles southeast of
the city. The bolt struck him in the head,
making large hole in his hat

ination.

Saturday evening, at the Wide awake
hose house, occurred the third ward eau
Gus. Dir. Arthur Burial called the meet
ing to order. and on motion of Alderman
Henry, was elected chairman. NJ W.
Parker acted in the capacity of secretary,
and T. Corcoran and w. Young. as tel
lers. On an informal ballot Henry Lid
ders received SO votes, Daniel Corcorau
8 and George Kale 2. The sense of the
caucus being SO largely in favor of Mr..
ladders, he was declared the nominee by
reclamation.
The best of feeling prevailed. and the
nomination is regarded as the st rongest
that could have been made, and one that
will draw ont the full party strength Mr.
ladders is one of the most popular young
men in his ward, and will make splen
man In the ward, where he has resided
nearly his whole life, and no one can say
aught against him. This is his second
race for alderman. having ran against j.
V. Mahoney couple of years ago, when
he was only beaten by six or seven votes.
At that time an unusually strong effort
was made by the republican candidate
and great deal of money was used
against him Notwithstanding, he would
have been elected had the polls remained
open few minutes longer, as several of
his friends arrived to cast their ballots
for him, just as the polls were declared
closed.
