Ladies' Taking In the Town.

The Virginia Chronicle says that last
Tuesday evening two we'll known Comstock
ladies started out for g frolic, disguised in
fashionable male attire. They were accom-
panied by male companions, and visited
several saloons. calling for drinks at the
bar with the nonchalance Of habitues. The
young men were we'll known, but the bar
keepers we're puzzled in trying to guess
the identity Of their companions. When
they drank at the Sazerac the searching
glance OF Billy Eckhoff frightened the
elder OF the two ladies (who, by the way,
lie married), and with her companion she
deserted the other couple and returned
home. apprehending discovery. The re-
naming couple visited numerous saloons
on G street, and looked in at the faro
games, the young lady passing for a good
looking delicate young man. The psrtici-
pants in the harmless frolic are we'll
known, but their names are suppressed
through fear of creating q flutter of sur
prise in Oomstock society.

The Blood Agate Fields.

Salt Lake Democrat: Some eight miles
from Cisco, on the Grand river. g large
field OF stone has been discovered. Of Q
peculiar nature and Of v~sriegsted and
brilliant hues, which has puzzled miner
alogists to classify and which bids fair to
add materially to the wealth products OF
the Territory. This stone, when cut and
polished, resembles the beautiful Scotch
bloodstone, now out of the market, and is
capitally adapted for all kinds of orna-
mental purposes and for jewelry. II lays
ON the surface ground. from the river
back to the rising mesas, and covers q
territory of some three square miles. In
no other spot along the river or in the
adjacent country has anything like 1t been
found, nor in the country at large. except
q small deposit, now exhausted, found in
the State Of Arkansas. Specimens have
been exhibited in the city, and pronounced
by jewelers. as excellent for rings, pins,
etc. The great value Of the find lies in
the enormous amount of the material,
which is in size large enough to build
mantels and other household adornments,
and when placed upon the market, II will
doubtless meet q ready sale. A company
is now incorporated TO work this bonanza.
and the gains will accrue to the benefit OF
several poor men, who originally found 1t.

A Central Pacific freight Train
Ditched Near Paiisade Sunday
Night. with n Fatal Result.

n t6utrnE RIuclLc fFefshb IRAN
Ditched Near Paiisade Sunday
Night. with a Fatal Result.
A special telegram yesterday afternoon
from Palisade says that the westbound
Central Pacific freight train, due at Pail
SADIE Sunday night, was ditched three miles
east OF there, and almost totally wrecked.
The engine is In the Humboldt river, com.
pletely out Of sight, and is cars are de-
molished. The engineer escaped injury.
Fireman Dorsey had an arm broken. Dan
Raglan, the brakeman, formerly on the Eu-
reka and Palisade railroad, is badly
bruised, and Conductor J. Gerweck, while
assisting the engineer out OF the river, fell
In himself and was drowned. His body
has not yet been recovered. The west
bound passenger train is now lying at Car
lin, awaiting the clearing OF the track,
which, it is expected, will be accomplished
this afternoon.
A later account, received last evening.
says: The Central Pacific westbound
freight train No. 8 was ditched three miles
east Of here last night. The cause was q
broken flsnge on the engine truck. Ten
cars are of the track, and the engine is
completely buried 10 the bottom of the
Humboldt river. Engineer Smith received
slight bruises on the back and neck. Fire
man Dorsey's left arm is broken. Brake
man Raglan is badly bruised in a leg and
the back. Conductor j. Gerweck, after
assisting the fireman and brakeman out OF
the water, went to assist the engineer, who
was floating down the river on the engine
cab. Tearing q board from a fence near
by, he ran TO the river bank to throw 1t to
the engineer, when the bank caved with
him, and he fell In, and has not been
heard Of since. Superintendent Whited ar
rived on the scene early this morning, and
Ia making every effort to recover the body.
Conductor Gerweck was about rs years old
and unmarried. His parents reside in the
East, and IL his body is recovered il will
be forwarded home for burial. His I'M
timely and heroic death is lsmented by all
the employees Of the Truckee Division, as
he was liked by all who knew him. The
injured are doing we'll, and will leave to-
day for the railroad hospital at sacra-
mento.

A Washington financier, who is well
acquainted with Col. Lew Washington,
the genial teller of Lewis Johnson q
Co.'S bank, told The Ratchet a good
story on the colonel. II WIS at the
close of business hours, and Col. Wash
ington was pouring and perspiring over
a long column of figures on the balance
sheet. The sun total of the column
should have read SO, O9O. Instead of
that amount, however, it showed a total
of 81, $50, or 5000 more than he could
account for.
The vexatious mistake caused the
colonel to scratch his head vigorously
and wonder where the excess was in the
column of agonizing figures. While go
ing carefully over the column for the
twentieth time he discovered the error.
and it was one that would hardly occur
once in a thousand years. One of the
colonel's eye lashes had fallen OH the
balance sheet and adhered to the first 0
in the line Of figures 81, 900, making u
perfect figure . Of the naught and in
creasing the whole amount to SO, 800 in
stead of So, 900. In going down the
column the twentieth time he brushed
the eyelash away with his forefnger.
Hereafter, Col. Washington says he will

scraper before he commences TO add the
columns.

English manufacturers of sugar were
for n long time disinclined to the use OF
the centrifugal machine, although so
early and eagerly adopted in the
tnited States, where it originated,
and now its popularity is well known.
In both countries, at the present
time. the saccharimeter is a favorits
instrument for determining the strength
of raw sugar, its operations in this re-
spect being well nigh marvellous. 1t is
based, in a word, upon the scientific
fact that a beam of polarized light. in
passing through a solution of a given
strength of pure car sugar in water,
is rotated or twisted toward the right to
q certain and uniform extent, and the
relative extent to which a similar solu-
ton of any other sugar, under the same
conditions, rotates the light, indicates
the relative purity and crystalizing
power of hat sugar. The arrangement
of lenses in the instrument is such that
the operation in itself is very simple,
only requiring care, the result being
read in figures on a scale attached TO
the adjusting thumb screw.

Thomas Stevens, the young American
who is iournnying around the globe on
a bicycle, writes from Teheran that he
had the distinction of an audience with
the shah of Persia, who was profoundly
interested in the novel steed. The shah
is a humorist, for, after seeing the wheel
mans art illustrated in various ways,
be requested Stevens to make a squirt
down a long, smooth footpath.
The garden, " writes the adventurous
American, lis traversed by a network
of irrigating bitches; but his ma esty
solemnly assures me that there is moth
ing of the kind across the path he wishes
to see me ride down as fast as possible.
Two hundred yards from the spot where
this assurance is given sees me execut-
ing "a lightning like dismount, while
going at a twelve-mile pace, to avoid
running into the very thing | had lust
been told didn't exist" When the shah
was assured that the cycler had jeop-
ardized his limbs, il not his neck, his
ma esty was put into excellent humor
and laughed heartily.

SECRETARY oil TIE TREASURY MAN
MING has issued a call for $4,000. 900 of
the 3 per cent bonds, to be redeemed on
or before Feb. !, 1886, when interest
on the bonds specified in the call will
cease. 1t is not altogether certain that
this sudden movement is as significant
as il appears to be on its face. The
deb increased 80, 00O, 900 during the
month of November, and even if there
should be no farther increase until Feb
ruary MIR. Manning will not be making
rapid progress if he slips back half as
far as he steps forward. 1t is evident
that the gold and silver panic is more
artificial than real, and that such is UNI
dertood by the treasury officials to be
the ease, or they would not propose ut
present the reduction of the gold sur
plus by the payment of bonds not due
until they are made 50 at the option Of

THE BREAk UP or PARTIES IN
HHITAIN.

Iii evident that the breakup OF par
ties IN England is nearer than even sa-
g]acious politicians have supposed, even if
it j. not already at hand. The duke of
Argyle, the head of the great Scotch
house Of Campbell, aud long one of the
most distinguished leaders of the Wing
and Liberal party, has formally separated
irom Gladstone. carrying with him all his
following He was formerly a close ally
and supporter Of Gladstone, aud was a
member of the Gladstone cabinet, formed
in 1850 lie is father of the Marquis of
Lornc, and probably the most powerful
Scotch subject of the British crown.
The detection OF so influential a follow
er, with the immediate friends who will
90 with him, is no small loss to Gladstone.
But il indicates a general detection of the
hereditary Wing land-ovning class, who
constitute an important wing OF the LIB
erl party. Their separation from Glad
stone is not based on anything hat he
has yet done, but on their a~pprehensions
as to what he is purposing to do in the
near future. IL is apparent that, in order
to get back into power by the help Of the
Parnelhtes, he is prepared to concede al
most if not quite all that is demanded By
the Irish revolutionists, His marked ten
dency toward church disestablishment
and toward extreme changes in the
land laws, also furnishes grounds for wide
dissatisfaction among the Wing. church
and landed classes. 1t is evident that
during Gladstone's few remaining years
he will lead the radical element in Eng
lsh politics, and he must form out of
that element a party strong enough to
elect a majority Of Parliament if he would
resume his old place at the head of the
government
