Some Important News.

Learning Of the arrival Of Mr..

latest information from the mines.
NJ. Burr was found housed up with

opportunity to secure few days rest

R+porter-"What is the present
condition of the trails 2"
Mr.. Burr-''There is very little
change in the situation of affairs
with reference to trails and the all
absorbing question continues to be
that Of transportation from the rail-
road to Eagle City. The Trout creek
trail is still the most travelled, from
50 to $50 persons passing over it every
day. The Th mpson Falls trail Is
rapidly c'ming into favor and there
is already considerable travel over
that route. A number of horses have
passed over it and it is believed q

describe it, a ground floor and an upper floor,

apparently a healthy lot of pas
sengers. One Of the pilgrims passed around
bottle full of Ganges water to some com
panions. These were shortly after attacked
with cholera of the most malignant descrip-
ton. A panic ensued. The wretched natives
screamed and tried to call the attention Of
the conductors. But it was all in vain.
Either the laundering OF the locomotive
drowned their cries, or the conductors, yield

tearing at the bars of their cage. and were

When the cars reached Lucknow the station
officials were Mortified at the sight they saw.
| Within a few hours more than sixty people
had died of cholera, over a hundred were
more or less injured, the remainder were
hslplessly panic-stricken. The locomotive
driver, the stoker, and the conductors were
perfectly unconscious that they had been
carrying such ghastly load for nearly a
hundred miles. The horrors of that awful
Journey with death are still vividiy recalled
