Gazette-JournaI: The organization
known as the Brotherhood of Locom0-
tive Engineers are making extensive az
engagements for il grand ball and banquet
to be held in McCook in the Zeal future.
The necessary committees have been APP
pointed and all are working heroically
to make this, their inaugural ball a sue
cess beyond the peradyenture of Il doubt.
Invitations will be issued to the friends
of this organization all over Nebraska
and it promises to be the largest gath
ering, Of clever handlers and their
friends ever held iii the state. Exten-
sive preparations are already being made
to entertain and provide for the visitors
to that magic city, and the bail and
banquet.
Hayes Centre News: The county and
precinct officers elect are required to
file their official bonds and be sworn in
on the first Thursday after the first
Tuesday in January, which will be the
9TH. The county commissioners will
then be in regular session. Remember
the date January eth. The extern
sion of the Burlington & Missouri from
Holdrege northwest, which was design
ed to strike the Union Pacific at Ogal-
lala,has taken a new shoot, according to
Colorado papers. The intention now
seems to be to run the line midway be-
tween the nam lines of the Burlington
& Missouri and Union Pacific, cross the
latter at Sterling, Colo, and strike out
northwest for Cheyenne, the ultimate
terminus of the branch.

Race with a Locomotive.

From the Virginia (Nev.) Enterprise.
Several of Hook Mason's men wars at Wa
buska the other day to say good-by to one of
their number who was going North. Just as
the train was fairly under way the departing
vaquero shouted back that he had left his
overcoat. A short search resulted in finding
the article, and hurried discussion arose as
to the best way of restoring it to its owner,
when it was suggested that had they been
quick enough one of them might have caught
the train on his horse. The suggestion was
like a flash of fire to powder. One glance
after ssthe frst-disappearing train and Dan
Farley was in the saddle, plunging both
rowels in his steed, and away and away, over
bitches, through sagebrush, up the hills and
down the hillows, riding as though for dear
life, like mailman, OF, more reckless still,
like thorough-blooded cowboy. It was q.
hard run, but in about mile and ha1f
Dan overhauled the train and the conductor
slackened speed SO that he could deliver the
coat. It is needless to say that Dan rode a
good horse and it was an exciting spectacle
to those who saw it. "a horse race would be
q tame affair in comparison.

Vineyard Planting in California.
From the Sacramento Record Union.l
In planting a vineyard the first step is to
determine definitely whether grapes for raj
sins of wine, or for table, are best suited for
the locality selected, if you already possess
the land, or if you have not the land, which
OF the classes of culture you prefer, and
then select the locality accordingly. find
that prejudice governs many in making such
selection. As, for instance, one has a foot
hill tract, and is opposed to wine-making,
but as he has determined to be vineyardist,
he sets it o1t in the raisin grape, only to be
disappointed after years of toll and expense.
1 think it may be conceded that northern
California, as whole, will not prove to be
the disappointing portion of the State.
Except in a few sections, the product has
not come up to the standard. The early fall
rains preclude the extensive and secure
growing of the raisin grape. Beside. as MIR.
Wetmore writes, "The Muscatel repeats in
California, more OF less, its European his
tory, and it is probable that before long our
experience will cause its culture to be re-
stricted to certain districts more favorable to
its growth and fruitfulness." And it will
not be many years before such districts are
discovered, when the benefit to be derived
from common experience will produce the
best raisin, and the large amount produced
in one accessible locality, will command the
highest price and a complete monopoly of
the market. The experience of the past
points to southern California the section
in which such district will be discovered.
I am satisfied that it is the part of wisdom
in the northern part of the State to devote
ourselves to the wine and table grape, leav-
ing to those sections of the State where the
summer is warmer and longer the exclusive
making of raisins. For long time to come
it is to be feared that the cost of transpor-
tation will limit the extension of the vine
yards devoted to table grapes, except, per-
haps, in sections Immediately traversed by
the railroad. The valleys will still be devoted
to cereals, or such fruits as need rich and
deep soil, and where size, rather than quality
of fruit, is the disideratum. Vineyard plant
ing will, I think, be extended more in the
foothills, and hence am persuaded that the
major part of the grapes hereafter grown will
be turned into wine.

High Tide Makes Havoc I'm And
About New York.
New YORK. Feb 16.-The steady rain and
wind caused a higher tide in the hal Dor
of this city to-day than ever before known
The damage done by the high water to goods
in stores and cellars along the river front is
very great, but no figures can be given at
this time. Along West and South street
stores, restaurants and other places of bust
ness were closed on account of the water
which covered the floors in some instances
to the depth of twenty inches. Passengers
to and from the ferries were compelled to
wade through water almost knee deep until
temporary bridges could be provided. Yes
sells moored at the docks lay on level with
the piers and the street, and the loading and
discharging of cargoes and transportation of
which by the various ferries was for a time
entirely suspended. The water along the
river front in Jersey City was very high and
caused suspension of business on the dock
for several hours. Reports from Trenton,
New Brunswick and other places in New
Jersey say that great damage has been done
by the rains and high water. Several mills
at Trenton were closed owing to water ap-
pearing in various parts of the buildings.
The damage done at Coney Island is believed
to be very great, but no particulars have
been received in this city.

Anew Kind ofRoad wagon.

trFom CdTSon tNeV.) Appeal
Mr.. Torreyson, the blacksmith, is noted
for his kindness toward animals. He has
just built road cart, now on exhibition at
his blacksmith shop, which is destined to
revolutionize travelling by road and to ma
terially tighten the labors of that noble ami
NAL the horse. The idea is to occasionally
give the horse a chance to ride in the cart as
the driver. The idea was first suggested to
Mr.. Torreyson by seeing turtle move along
the road carrying his shell with him. The
vehicle made by Mr.. Torreyson has four high
wheels, and the place between them arched,
so that the horse is hitched under the wagon,
between the wheels, his head little beyond
the front wheels and his tail just barely
clearing the hind wheels. The driver sits
just over the horses neck, and the others in
the wagon face outward on each other. The
horse is SO fastened that the pulling is dis
trib7ted over his body and does not all come
he is greatly protected from the sun and
storm, and thereby enabled to make long
journeys with less fatigue.
But the principal part of the invention
lies in the belly-band, about four feet wide,
passing under the horse. When you reach
the top of long hill, down which horse
would have to go slowly as he held back the
load, you simply turn a crank, and it lifts
the horse off his feet several inches from the
ground and the vehicle theffruns down the
hill of its own momentum. 1t is provided
with steerage apparatus and brake, that
the vehicle may be steered and its velocity
regulated.
Several times during the day the tired
horse has chance to ride, and is very much
rested. Also, when the horse attempts to
run away, you wind up the crank, and he is
lifted off the ground perfectly helpless.

and is demanded.
NEW YORK, Feb. 16.-The prosecution in
the case of the people against Mrs. Dudley,
the would-be assassin of O'Donovan Rosa,
signifed its readiness to go on with the case
to Judge Patterson in the Yorkville police
court this morning. Neither Rosa nor Mrs
Dudley were in court. Ex-Judge Fullerton
appeared for the latter and on the decIara
ton of the district attorney that he would
not call Rosa to the stand, even though he
was in court, expressed his willingness to
proceed at once to trial. He asked that Mrs.
Dudley be sent for forthwith. Ex Judge
Fullerton added that he and Mr. Butts had
been retained as counsel for the woman.
Mrs. Dudley shortly afterward entered the
court room through the private entrance.
She was g wen a seat at the table with her
counsel. The court room was crowded, but
not one among the spectators was recognized
as member of Rossa's organization. Three
women occupied front seats The proceed
ings were begun by Mr.. Fullerton asking
if O'Donovan Rosa was present District
Attorney Purdy replied that he was not.
Mr.. Fullerton wanted him called, but Mr..
Purdy said the prosecution had a perfect case
without Rosa. The case would be made
unnecessarily long if Rosa appeared in it.
The first witness DR.. Dennison of the
Chambers street hospital. He described
Rossa's entrance to the hospital the evening
of the shooting. Deputy Marshal McAuley
testified to having arrested Mrs. Dudley.
Then the people rested. eve do not pro-
pose to submit any evidence at this stage of

child and other members of the company by
their many attentions to their guests pro
NOTED the pleasure of the evening. Many
members of the other military companies of
the city were present, and groups of military
men were frequently engaged discussing the
recent promotions in the regiment. The
Horse Guards were represented by several
members of the company. G. B. Davis and
R. NJ. Curtis of Company K, Seventh resi-
ment, were present. Those who we're pres
ent in masquerade costumes gave an at
tractive varsity to the scene. Corporals
Neale, Miller and Private Granger of the
Light Guards wore neat song and dance
suits, and many ladies were dressed in hand
some masquerade suits. Miss Nellie Mullaly
was noticed with lady's riding habit and
jockey cap. Mrs. Smaller, Mrs. D. E. WEIGH,
Misses Lindsey, Rentz, Bishop and Dunn
were present. Stevens prompted and Landri-
gan furnished excellent music.
