SAYS the Phoebe Record: Miss
Moore, the artist, who recently re-
turned from a trip down to this
bloody spot. where she went for the
purpose of taking sketch, with a
view Of making a large oil painting
of the noted spot and Surroundings,
reports that the banks of the deep
wash have so widened of late by
cavlng that the spot where the
murdered immigrants were thrown
in pile and dirt thrown over
them, is now on the brink of it, and
ere another year rolls b. will
cave in. The spot will then be
forever blotted out-a thing that
the Mormons have fcrvently wished
and prayed for for years, and the
bones of the slaughtered people
borne by the frcshet down and
strewn along the wash. About a
mile and half from this spot, at
the side Of the road, beneath
cedar bush, are buried the remains
Of Il man and woman, and by dis
placing a few Of the stones piled
over them. the skull of the woman
with bullet hole in it, is expo scd
to view. The bones at the Mead
ows are, owing to the elements. be-
ing uncovered, and many Of thom
are exposed The Government
should have these bones rc5uricl /
or else have tho spot where they
rest protected, not alone for the
sake Of humanity, but also for the
awe and dread the Mormons hold
for it. Many are the stories told

A Winter Thunderstorm

The service Of the Weather Bureau OF
late has been very satisfactory, and its pre-
dictions, as 8 ger eral thing, very accurate.
The indications Tor Virginia Yesterday
were "liCht rains, slightly cooler, variable
Winds" and they were IN every respect
true, except that at times the rains were
not very "light.v When the morning
broke the prospects for pretty day were
very promising; so much so, In fact, that
many gentlemen left their homes for their
places Of business without umbrellas and
children for school without gossamers. As
the morning wore on clouds began 70
gather, and about 10:45 O'Clock the rain be-
gan 10 full gently. The clouds continued
To grow darker until shortly before
2 O'Clock H the afternoon, when
there were several severe cIaps Of thunder.
with numerous vivid iIshes OF lightning
following each other in quick succession,
During the afternoon the wind at times
blew with great force, and there were o.
casional showers OF rain until about night
fall, when the clouds disappeared and gave
place 10 beautiful clear sky, tbickly dOr
ted with stars shining with all their bright
ness. The moon had but a short time TO
shine, as 1t set soon after O'Clock. The
wind and storm did little or no damsge in
or around the city, so far as heard from.
The telegraph-liDe from Richmond to West
Point became disabled about noon and
could not be used during the remainder OF
the day.

The James-riyer bridge, with ITS ap-
proaches, is now complete, and is in all Ie'

OF railroad brio ges IN this country.
The new freight warehouse has also
been completed at q cost OF S33, 2SD.22, and
has been found to be well adapted to busi'
ness, ample for present beeds, aud it may
be readily extended to meet any increase OF
traffic. The expenditures so far on the
new passenger depot. trlin-shed, tracks,
and approaches, including cost OF the Pub
lic-warehouse property, has been one nun
drcd and thirty-four thousand dollars
(el34,000), paid Jointly by the Richmond,
Fredericksburg and Potomac and this COM
pauy. The main building, which will cou-
tain every needed accommodation for pas
sengers as well as commodious Offices for
the business OF both companies, will be
finished early in 1887. The great Improve
ment already experienced in managing the
passenger traffic by this outlay can hardly
be estimated.
The safety and comfort Of passengers,
TIE rapid transfer and delivery OF baggage

patch OF trains secured by the extended
accommodations ar already manifest and
acknowledged, not only by the EN-
ployGs Of the company, who can discharge
