Washington, March 29-The
effort Of the Southern Pacific Compa-
ny, rs fully described III these dis
patches yesterday, t. secure action
by the Secretary Of War favorable to
river improvement, has been supple
mented by letter to Attorney
General Garland and Secretary
Lamar, soliciting their corporation.
The matter, it is understood, viii
be made a topic of Cabinet discus
sion, and MessYs. Garland AMI L.
mar, rs representatives Of the Valley
are counted upon to support It.
Secretary Enlicott is believed to
to have taken very favorable view.
At any rate, he realizes that the
railroad company has pat the case
squarcly, without circuniocution or
humbug, and that the issue is clearly
defined
The following is the supplcmcnta-
ry letter, a copy of which has also
been sent Secretary Lamar;
WAsHISGTox, ID. C., March %, 1855
Hon. y. II. Garland, Attorney Gen.
Dear Sri beg to hand YOU
herewith the accompanying letter
presented to the Hon. Secretary Of
War.
The subject matter is of the high
est importance to the ontlra country,
and especially to the section inWhich
YOU reside. indulge the hope that
you may concur with me III the prac-'
ticability and the necessity of the ac-
ton suggested, in which case ] feel
assured that it will secure yo'w cam
est and efficient support. Overnight
and one-half million dollars has a.
ready been expended on the Missis-
sippi river, under the directions of the
commission. Unless tho works con-
structed are protected by continual
ton cooperation they will he swept
away by the spring rise and this vast
sum Of money will be lost
The statute under which$5,O00,OOO
unexpended balance arises, expressly
provides that the money shal! be ex-
pended for the preservation and pro
lection of such public works. The
act is not mandatory upon the Secre-
tary of War to expend the amount
appropriated upon the humorous
unimportant work throughout the
country as named in the act. 1t is
certainly not i'll the interest of q wise
public policy to do SO.
In connection with the question as
to the authority of the Secretary Of
War to allot public funds, which the
act provides shall be expended I'M
der his directions, to any public work
no may designate, 1 respectfully
invite your careful attention to the
document here with enclosed, Elk.
Doc. No. %, 81 session 44th Con-
gress.

senting copy of this letter, with
Enclosures, to your colleague in the

as to your own, the determination of
this question is of the highest inter

A SIoTHEWs DARING ACT.

a Woman to Save Herself and Her Chill
dren Mango from = TrestIe While the
Train Paf%es.
BALTIMORE, Aug. A few miles south
OF Marlborough is a chasm which is
SPAWNED by an open trestle bridge. To
the bottom Of the chasm at the deepest
point is perhaps 60 feet. The railroad
approaches this bridge around a sharp
curve, and the engineer Of train cannot
see the bridge until near 1t. Yesterday
afternoon as the Pope's Greek south
bound passenger train sped round the
curve nearing the bridge the en-
gineer was Mortified to see a
woman crossing the bridge on the rail
road track, carrying 10 her arms an
infant and leading by the hand child Of
perhaps 3 years OF age. The engineer at
once applied the air brakes and blew the
danger signal, but he saw 1t was impOss-
bic to stop the train before it reached the
point where the woman was. She heard
the train approaching, turned aud looked
at IL, and saw the horror OF her situation in
one quick, Intense glance. Below the
heavy rains had filled she chasm until it
had become "a torrent. TO Jump from the
bridge would be to find death In the water;
longer would be 10 meet instant death
Several persons who We're near the track
at the time, and who saw her situation,
made signs 20 the engineer to stop, but he
was powerlcss. although he struggled
until the sweat stood out in great
drops from every pore. Then he rushed
forward toward the front OF the
locomotive with the intention Of essaying
the daring feat OF selling the woman and
dragging her 20 the cow-catcher. At this
the woman caught both children IN one
arm, with the other she firmly seized one
Of the ties on which the track 10 laid and
swung herself between the ties and below
the bridge and the train passed over her.
II was SO quickly done that the specta-
tors supposed that she had jumped from
the bridge. AS soon as the train could be
stopped Conductor q. a. Haverstick and
Brakeman HOneymann rushed back to the
spot where the woman was seen TO dIsap-
pear. They found her clinging to the tie
with one arm and holding her two little
ones with she other. From this perilOus
position they were soon rescued, the
woman much exhausted. but all of them
without bruise OF a scratch.

THE GARFIELD TOMB.
The Money Coming In Slowly for the
Projected Monument.

Prom the NeaO York Wor5d.
CLEVELAND, Aug. 4.-The only local
member of the Garfield monument COM
mittee not in Europe Is J. Il. W ade. 1t
is learned that OF the 100000 necessary
for Garfield's monument 1925, 900 had been
subscribed by over 10000 contributors
in sums ranging from &c. to So. Much
dissatisfaction is expressed with the
monument committee, which has attached
an iron contribution box to the rickety
fence around the Garfield tomb. Another
cause of faultfnding is the improperly
Of placing the remains in "A borrowed
tomb belonging 10 Levi T. ScOfeld in a
cemetery owned by private corporation.
The people of Garfield's district are angry
because he was not buried Mt Mentor or

very freely TO the monument. The money
is at interest ia the National Bank OF
Commerce here. and has GROWN from
Sl25, 600 to 100000.
The fund raised for Mrs. Garfield, added
TO the $4,000 life insurance that she
received at her husbands death, Is over
half a million dollars. The only person
in Cleveland, aside from herself, who
knows the exact amount and the number
and names Of the subscribers Is j II.

L. BURN the devoted wife OF Mr.. Edward
Burn, departed this life. and IL IS proper that
the eminent virtues which adorned her char
acter should be recorded as monument to
her memory. AS a wife and mother her
biography is correctly written IN the thirty
first cnapter of the Book Of Proverbs, from
the 10Th to the 3Ist verse. THE heart OF her
husband trusted in her; she did him good and
not evil all the days Of her life" She was
kind, thoughtful, prudent energetic, ana
with these qualities she presided over her
