MORE LIGHT.
Genius Invoked to Discover an Oil
Fit for Use on the Cars.

Fit for Use on the Cars.
Mr.. EDITOR: I have ridden on the cars
in this country a great deal, and I have
also travelled considerably on railways in
Europe. The comforts Of railroad pas
sengers in the United States are greatly
superior to what are found abroad. Our
American sleeping cars, for instance, are
as nearly perfect as I can imagine. But
there is n thing lacking ON railroad cars
the world over, and the more I travel the
more l think of the deficiency. l refer to
the poor lights that are used on the cars.
After dark you are miserable if you have
nobody to talk to and have nothing to
sit down and ponder over until bed time.
Such a thing as reading on the cars by the
lights in use is painful to those who have
ever the keenest sight, while to many
persons it is absolutely impossible. Com
ing up from San Francisco recently I had
a good book along in which / was deeply
interested. / was not only greatly inter-
ested in reading it, but it was important
that I should digest it's contents by the
time I arrived here. I utilized all the day.
light of the trip, but when dusk came I
had to lay my book aside. l have no
doubt that others, for different reasons,
have felt as much annoyed by the dim
light in the cars as l have. What a de-
lightful thing it would be if, when travel
ing by rail, we could read at night
as we do at home or in our places Of bust
ness | OF course, 1 know that the oil used
by the railroad people is chosen because it
is non-explosive and safe. But l have
often wondered how long it will be before
some bright mind will discover an oil that
ia both safe to use on the cars and capable,
also, of giving out a light that is fit to read
by. / have not a spark of inventive
genius in my makeup, nor have I any
idea OF the chemistry of oils. 1t strikes
me that out of the thousands in this coun-
try and Europe who make chemistry a
special study some one ought to be found
to invent or discover II hardly know
which) an oil that will emit as good a
light rs we get from kerosene, and at the
same time be as harmless in case OF acct.
dent as the horrid Chinese nut oil.
''There's millions in it" for any one that
will find out the secret of manufacturing
such an illumination; besides, generation
after generation will rise up as long as
railroading lasts, to speak his name and
call him blessed.

Worth LNokinx After.

When parties advertise to sell ct certain
prices for cash, it behooves all purchasers
to see that they get the amount of goods
advertised to be sold for so much money.
A person can advertise to sell California
flour for SIS rs per hundred pounds, but
the next question is, will he sell you one
hundred pounds of flour, that costs Sc,
unless he makes up ten fold on other goods.
A merchant may sell you certain articles
for cost, but if he does he is sure to make
it up plentifully on other goods. Any one
meaning real business, and advertising
TO sell goods low for cash, does
not pick out one or two articles to
sell for cost and to make it up on other
goods; but, on the contrary, he lets the
public know what they can get any and all
classes of staple goods for; and il is for the
prudent purchaser to scan well the prices,
not OF one or two articles, but to look over
the whole list and compare them with
goods purchased heretofore. Another
thing, too, should not be overlooked by
purchasers. 1t does 40 harm for a family
to AVE scales in the house. and to satisfy
them selves that when they are charged
with, and pay for so many pounds, that as
many pounds are delivered to them as
they have paid for. n

Application was made to Judge Riyes
Friday by Beatty Il Fitzgerald for a writ
OF habeas corpus for the release from Jail
OF their client Flurentia Ruellas, who is
held under Indictment for killing a steer
belonging to Andrew Benson, with intent
to defraud. The grounds of the applica-
ton were that the law involved is uncon-
stitutionsl, because in c~ontravention of
Section II of Article 4 of the State Consti.
tuition, which provides that Each law
enacted by the Legislature shall embrace
but one subject and matter properly con-
neoted therein, which subject shall be
briefly expressed in the %title;" and that
the law is ambiguous and uncertain. Ac.
cordipg to the construction of the law, as
argued by the petitioners, it would be a
felony for q man to kill his own cattle
running at large. The Judge decided that
the law is constitutional, and also that
the law, though not precise in verbal ex-
preston, is sufficiently accurate to define
the crime referred to, and cannot be so
construed by the technical application of
grammar as to destroy its intent made
evident by its spirit and context. The
release was denied.

CASES.
of Judge BtgeIOw's Decis-
ION I'm Regard TO commissioners
and Road Supervisor.

Summary of Judge BtgeIOw's Decis-
iOn I'm Regard 10 commissioners
and Road Supervisor.
The decision of Judge Bigele@ in the
cases of presentment against Commits
missioners Smith and Arlington and Road
Supervisor Stewart was received and filed
in the Clerks Office yesterday. 1t will be
remembered that in the last September
term of court a Grand jury found several
presentments against the officials named
for wilful misconduct in Office. Demur-
rers or objections were filed by defendants,
which were argued before Judge Bigelow
sitting for Judge Rives. The Court de-
cides that the proceeding by presentment
is proper; that the Court has jurisdiction;
and that all OF said presentments are in
proper form, with the exception of that
against Commissioner Smith for voting to
allow the County Treasurer a deputy.
This presentment the Judge dismissed, as
also the second count in the first present
ment against Stewart for presenting
claims against the county for the work of
divers and sundry men whom he is alleged
to have paid less for their wages than he
demanded from the county. The Court
requires defendants to answer in
all the cases with the exception
OF these two. Defendants will, at
the next term of court be tried upon the
merits OF the cases before a jury. The
joint charges against Smith and Arlington
remaining to be 30 tried involve allega-
tions Of misconduct in the construction of
a ditch by the Richmond Stag pile and in
building the Courthouse water-closet
against Smith alone, Of building the brick
wall in the rear of the Courthouse; against
Supervisor Stewart, for demanding from
the county more money for the wages Of
Angus Mcdonald for road work than he
paid him; also, for the unnecessary ex-
penditure of public funds in building
bridges in New York Canyon and near the
Albion mine. The Court overrules the
charge against Stewart for expanding
more than $50 in one quarter without
having previously obtained the consent of
the Commissioner thereto.

A WARRIOR BOLD.
How He Gave His Wounded Spine
Entirely Away.

ENtAEcAy away
Awarrior bold, who fought safely through
the rebellion and knew no wound on any
bloody field, slipped on an orange peel,
after the unpleasantness was over, and
bruised the lower end of his spine. He
brooded over his trouble SO much that he
finally got to believing implicitly that a
rebel bayonet had shocked his spine. He
worked vigorously on this belief for q
pension. He was q cripple in his papers
to the War Department, and his terminal
articulation was black and blue to every
examiner, but on all other occasions his
back bone was wonderfully sound. One
day he was watched by a pension detective
in disguise, who observed him throwing
himself at a dance. During an intermis-
sion, the detective remarked to him
"You dance heavily. / should think a
man of your build would move more
easily"
II am surprised to hear you say so. l
don't ofteu blow my own bugle, but l am
the sprightliest man on the floor this
very minute"
Two weeks from that date the man with
the black and blue csudal projection got
his application for pension sent back to
him, accompanied by d warning that if
pressed it any more the applicant would be
landed in Jail.

BUTTE CRY, M. t., Jan. 5.-Hugh
Coyle, the advance agent for the John l..
Sullivan Combination, arrived here to ar
range for the appearance Of the great
champion in this city. Mr.. Coyle is much
exercised over the dispatches which have
been published broadcast, representing
that Sullivan and the other members OF
the combination have been getting drunk
and engaging in broils at Denver, Lead
vile and other points, which he denounces
unqualifiedly as untrue, especially regard
ing the Denver story Of Sullivan engaging
in a fight in front OF the Arcade saloon on
the morning Of Jan. 2, and running into
the American House, where he demanded
a revolver, which was refused, and he was
run out Of the house at its muzzle, and
calls attention to the fact that the Ameri-
can House is five blocks from the Arcade
saloon, and says that now that Sullivan
and the entire party are engaged in q bust
ness venture which, aside from their well
known regulations for sobriety, neces-
states q strict adherence to business, and
q business-like prosecution Of their enter
prise, dispatches Of this character have
followed them along the entire route. He
attributes their authorship to jealousy,
and denounces them as false in toto. The
Denver dispatch he stigmatizes as design
ing, and sent with the evident object Of
injuring Sullivan, as is shown by an ex-
preston of opinion with which it closes,
intimating that some CT the sluggers would
bite the dust before leaving Colorado. He
says that similar false reports were sent
from Scranton and Pottsville, Pa, but
they were promptly corrected by the Asso-
ciated Press when the facts became known.
