IAN NOTORIOUS COLUMBUS is the title
of large volume from the pen OF Edward
P. Vining, late of the Union Pacific system,
and now Commissioner OF the Western
Trunk Line Association. The argument OF
his work is that America was discovered by
Buddhist monks in the fifth century, 900
years before the visit of Columbus. The
theory is not new one, but it has never
before been presented to the public in such
forcible, exhaustive, and apparently con-
elusive manner. Starting with the disciples
of Buddha from Afghanistan, Mr.. Vining
traces their path northward along the coast
OF China and Japan, thence east across the
Pacific ocean, through the Aleutian islands
and past Alaska. to the western shore OF
America, and then southwark to Mexico,
and "the country OF women," the latter
probably the Amazonan territory of
modern literature. The presence of the
Buddhist relics and traces of the Buddhist
religion all along this route SO frequently
remarked by historians and travellers, is
thus for the first time, nationally explained
says the Omaha Herald. To strengthen his
theory Mr.. Vining has dug deep into the
Celestial records, and his translations
show a marked similarity between the
manners and customs OF The people OF Tar
tary, and the aboriginal inhabitants of the
western shores of America, from the
Kamschatkans on the north to the Aztecs
on the south, a similarity which extends
even to the root of their languages, dwell
ings, vegetation and crude laws. One OF the
most interesting parts OF Mr.. Winnings book
is said to be that in which he gives the
history OF the Buddhs, who lived 500 years
before Christ, and on whose teachings rests
the foundation of what is now known as
the Christian religion. According to this
history it was Buddha who first preached
that death is followed by new life; that
love OF ones neighbors is the most sacred
law; that charity and love must be over
and above everything else. Buddha sent
out his followers to preach this gospel to
all mankind, and it was on journey of
this kind that the Buddhist monks are
supposed to have discovered America.
Aside from the novelty OF the text there is
much to commend in Mr.. Winnings book,
showing as it does labor of historical re-
search and compilation beyond the power
or inclination OF an ordinary student Of
ancient literature. Mr.. Vining may gain
in literature reputation that he never
need look for in railroading. He was for
years a milestone about the neck of the
Union Pacific.

An effort is being made to get up a scare
regarding an outbreak of Utes in the south
western part of Colorado. It is believed
that the scare is being created simply to
bolster up some claims for damages done to
cattle in that section about a year ago,
and which are now pending before Congress.
1t is said that the country will be asked to
pay 500, 900 for few cattle said to h; ve
been run off by rowing Indians and the
attorneys are already working up the case.
There is really no danger OF serious Indian
outbreak and what there is has been engi-
neered by the cattle men who want to get
their hands into the public treasury.

A WIND STORM.
One Man Killed by Lightning-House
Blown Down.

OMAHA, June 15.-The second severe wind
and rain storm within the past four days,
visited this section yesterday. Abrakeman
named Sullivan was killed bylightning near
Columbus. Immense damage was done in
the country to windmills, sheds and barns
by the wind. The storm along the Union
Pacific was particularly severe. At Millart,
twenty miles west OF this city, two lumber
sheds were entirely blown away. At Elk
horn two houses and barn were blown
down. For distance OF six miles west Of
Grand Island the telegraph poles are all
laid flat. The same storm struck the North
Platte depot, and was blowing it to pieces
when telegraphic communication was cut
off. The depot at Phelps station, on the
Burlington & Missouri Railroad was partly
wrecked. A great deal OF damage was done
for distance OF fifty miles along the Ne
braska Railway. In the southern part of
the State great many buildings were
wrecked. The reports are meager, so far,
owing to the interruption OF telegraphic
communication.

FURIOUS FLAMES.
AnAccident Results in Heavy Damages to
Coal Mine.

WLKEsBARRE, Pa, June 15.-The Dor
rance shaft OF the Lehigh Valley Coal Com
pany was the scene OF a serious accident
last night, which, though destructive to
property, was not attended with any loss
OF life A workman's lamp ignited the
blower of gas in a stope, a short distance
from the bottom of the shaft, and so furi-
ously did it burn that the men were unable
to safely combat the flames, and were COM
PEELED to take flight. Fortunately there
were two ways OF escape-one by means OF
an air shaft and the other through the sec
ond opening. When it was found that the
fire could not be extinguished by the
appliances at hand, the fire department
was called out at midnight. The depart
ment responded promptly, and began food
ing the mine with water taken from the
Susquehanna river, a few hundred feet from
the mine. This, however, did not prove to
be a very prompt extinguisher. The pump
ing had to be kept up all night, and to-day
and how long it must be continued nobody
knows at present. Exploring parties were
lowered into the pit this evening, but the
fire was so fierce that nothing could be done
by them. The present Indications are that
it will be several days before the fire can be
extinguished. The accident will throw
about two hundred men out Unemployment
for some time and the damage to the mine
will be heavy.

IT NOW appears that his Fraudulency,
R. B. Hayes, the gentleman from Ohio, who
filled out the Presidential term to
which Samuel. Tilden was honestly elected,
was aware all the while that his property
in Omaha was being used for saloon pur-
poses. There would be nothing wrong about
the matter, if Mr.. Hayes had not denied
this knowledge and played the hypocrite.
Hayes is a canting hypocrite and fraud,
and is receiving undue prominence from the
