An Editors Escape.

II turns out that editor Mumf0rd, oi
the Talb0tton Era. was one Of the larg-
est sufferers by the freeze that recently
packed the state IN leo and strung icicles
from Valdosta TO Dalton. During one
Of the days when the freeze was at its
freeziest. Editor Mumford, who weighs
POO II he weighs a pound, walked over
to his carp ponds. just outside Of Tai
bottom. to see If he could succOr his
carp. He found small pond frozen
over hard and fast, and as it bore his
200 pounds without wincing he started
sorrowfully across. On reaching an.
other and larger pond he ventured on
its frozen surface without danger. In
the center of the pond he noticed water
bubbling up, and. snpposing that ii was
caused by his pet carp blowing in air
to the hole In an instant the 200
pounds of Editor Mumfc cd were in the
hole; but as he went down he threw
out his arms and was thus prevented
from sinking entirely out of sight. The
water, as may be imagined on an oc-
casion OF this kind, was cold enough
for drinking purposes on Fourth Of
July, and the ice-bound editor was
made to feel that it was growing colder
every moment. He tried to raise him
self out by his elbows, but a warning
creak of the ice deferred him. As there
was no other person within earshot. and
he found it impossible to extricate him.
self. he felt as though the supreme mo-
ment was close at hand. Like fash
of blue fire on 3 stBlack Crook"
spectacle, every event of his life flashed
across his mind. Every mean action
ever committed by him came out vivid
~, and his brain fairly sung with the
good deeds he might have done.
In second after he fell the hundreds
Of carp in the pond, hungry and desper.
ate, rushed to the spot and nibbled al
his legs. 1t was when he felt the fish
tugging at his rotund body that he be-
thought himself Of prayer. Loud. long,
and earnestly he prayed. He forgave
John German for writing a book; he
forgavc all his delinquent subscribers,
be forgave those who recently voted the
anti-prohibition ticket in his own town,
and, in fact, he forgave everybody. In
the meantime bis legs were freezing.
After praying earnestly for long time,
and sweeping the frozen country round
with his eye in the hope of seeing some
body to pull him out. he summoned all
bis strength and resolved to make one
more effort, If .he ice did break. He
was successful. The ice remained in
tact, and after thirty minutes Of freez-
ing agony he was out of the hole When
he reached the bank and started home
the water in his clothes froze hard, and
his locomotion on pair of legs whose
knee hinges wouldn't bend was neces-
sarily slow and not at all graceful. But
he reached home at last, and is still
thawing. His numerous friends through
the state will rejoice with us that SO far
no bad results from his cold bath in
carp pond have shown themselves

Curious Freaks 81 Bees.

G. w. Dayton, of Bradford, Iowa,
writes to the american Bee Journal;
Early in the season Of 1883, as soon as
the young bees began to play freely be-
fore the hives on sunshiny days, Noticed
on the ground before one hive that
there remained large number Of bees
that did not get back into the hive AT
this time there were bees scattered
about two or three rods from the hive,
but not more than three or four In any
one place. About the middle Of the
summer superseded the queen III that
colony and this III due time ended all
peculiar actions Of the bees until the
next spring, when found another colo
nv in the same attitude, except that the
bees, when they remained out, did not
scatter themselves over so much ground,
but remained nearer the hive, and when
night came they huddIed together in the
hOll0ws in the ground, some Of which
h0llows contained quart or more OF
dead bees that had accumulated there
in the course Of week or less. The
queen in this colony remained un-
changed, and last spring that Of 1880
two colonies of this kind were found,
both of which arc now in winter quar-
terS. The affected bees appear TO be
Just as well developed as any bees, but
they run from the hive generally hold

been broken or bent out Of shape. The
bees do not seem to die because Of af-

rived at about ten o'clock P. NJ. There
were two through trains east from this
city yesterday.
The s. P. Co. will probably build a
new bridge with high. clear span over
the Los Angeles river. and also over the
Tuiunga wash.
The Crosby excursion came in from
Mojaye on the south bound train yester-
day. Some of the passengers had been
twenty-three days en- route to Califof-
MIA.
The south bound train which should
have come in Wednesday arrived at
4:30 yesterday. There were but very
few passengers ON her. She was TWEEN
ty-seven hours from Mojave.
All trains on all roads are running
regularly to-day and on time, with the
sole exception of that to Santa Ana. A
big gang are pushing things down that
way and communication will soon be re-
established there.
At San Fernando yesterday the train
bound north was cut in two sections, as
she was long and heavy one. The
sections were hauled by two light en-
gines, 30 that the road in the Soledad
might be more safely passed
The G. S. Ry. will run through train
to-day to San Diego and one to Water
man without fail and without any
transfer. General Manager j. N. Victor
is at the front and pushing things in
spite Of floods and land slides.
A party consisting Of the Messrs.
Greenbaum and Goodkind, with their
families, of San Francisco, who have
been storm-bound here for a few days,
went up to San Francisco yesterday in

At the new depot yesterday afternoon
four trains of the S. P. G. went out al
most at the same time, one 10 San
Pedro, one to Santa Monica, the "Can-
non Ball" to Cotton, and the regular
east bound express. This movement
made things look lively for while.
The s. r. Ry. had 500 feet of track
washed out along the river in the city,
800 feet of the bridge above this, 500
feet Of the bridge at the Tujunga wash,
and fully six miles of track between Se-
pulveda and San Fernando. In the Sol
edad Canon there was good deal more
destruction done than the above. In
spite Of this array Of work to get the
trains running, the road was opened and
the trains running in a week.

Arguments I'm sbe supreme Court
Yesterday.

wAsHINeroN, January 2S. - Judge
Ssnderson concluded his argument in
the California tax cases to-day, resum-
ing where he left off yesterday. He
called the attention of the court to the
various provisions OF the acts Of Con-
gress in relation to the Southern and
Central Pacific Railroads, in view of
which he claimed that franchises to
build and operate these roads were de-
rived from the Federal Government. and
not from the State Of California, which
franchises were taxed by the State of
California in this case. He claimed that
these railroads were constructed and
being operated under the laws of Con-
gress. The franchises 10 granted by
Congress are not subject to taxation by
the Statei, or Territories through which
the road runs. Referring to the ques-
tion whether the constitutional laws Of
California in relation to taxation dis
criminated against the railroad and
other public corporations. he claimed
that the discrimination was not classi-
fication Of property for the purpose Of
taxation, but classification of the own
ers Of the came kind of property,
which latter classification Is illegal
aud repugnant to the Fourteenth
amendment Of the consultation. He gave
various illustrations showing that the
property owned by natural persons and
other private corporations was assessed
by deducting any mortgages that might
be on the property. These illustrations
were listened TO by the court and seemed
TO have made an impression on them.
He next took up the question as to the
effect OF the covenant contained in the
mortgages made by this company in
which they agree TO pay all the taxes
that might be levied upon the property,
showing that the fact that this cove
nant was. expires .ly retained 10 mort
cages was without legal effect. He de-
MED that the State, in order to recover
the taxes. must show that the asses.
ment was made by proper officers Of the
law, b lsed upon a valid law. In max
ing his argument Judge Sanderson occu-
pied three and half hours,
When he concluded Selstor Edmunds
argued and was followed by Judge
Rhodes, who reviewed and strengthened
the points made by Mr.. DeImas.

The latter will be answered by Attor-
ney General MsrshalI, who win close
