Further disclosures were made before the
Senate Investigating Committee yesterday
tending to fasten upon Governor Hill and the
ring of politicians and jobbcrs which he has
fostcrcd and protected, and by the operations
Of which his election expenses were paid ID
1885, the responsibility for the bad work ana
the extravagant expenditures that have so
greatly disgraced the building OF the new
Aoueduct. The Governor has been repre-
sented, before the committee at its last ses-
sions by that exceedingly bumptious indivld-
ual, Assemblyman Sheehan Mr.. Sbcehan was
much affected by the testimony OF Mr.. NC
Culloh, who was originally the Aqueduct Com.
missions secretary and who, being honest ana
STRAIGHTFORWARD, soon found himself pursued
hy the contractors and compelled to retire IT
his post to make room for MIR. Sheehans
brother. MIR. McCulloh's evidence caused MI
Sheehan's temperature to rise tumultuously'
and he became spectacle of discomfort. we
cannot see that MIR Sheehan represented his
friend the Governor to any particular az
vantage His services would have been more
practically useful had he directed them toward
tie conception of scheme by which Hill could
get his prospective election expenses PAID from
the public treasury.

convicts has been pouring into America for
years, and it has traced the natural results OF
these demoralizing influences upon industry

Rein's Shouldn't BE Held Too Tight.

There is a Portland correspondent
at the beach who is a bright young
man.
His letters are usually crisp and
interesting.
He missed fire last week and wrote
a lot of bosh.
Why?
Recause he tried to sermonize
And on what, do you think?
young girls at the seaside"
Imagine a correspondent trying to
advise mothers as to the care of their
daughters, and telling them that they
should retire at nine etc, etc.
Now, all morality recognize the fact
that a place like the beach offers
great opportunities for folly and
wrong doing.
But youth is youth all the world
over.
Young blood flows swift and warm
through pulsing veins.
Young hearts long for companion
ship, and young brains indulge sweet
dreams of things to come.
A healthful young girl can no more
be content with hum-drum duties,
without some pleasant experiences to
brighten her life, than a humming
bird can be content in a cage.
To attend to her daily duties, to
hear no word of praise for her labors,
and to retire at nine OH a beautiful
moonlight night
Why, its simply torture to girl
with spark of spirit or sentiment
And yet this is what many mothers
and women who call themselves good
mothers demand.
Did it ever strike you that such
parents were responsible for many of
the newspaper articles headed
"Strange disappearance" "Gone
wrong "Eloped," etc.?

A DARING TRIP.
How Charles Crocker Saved the Central Pa
cific Railroad Company.

Shortly after the few brave men who
inauguated the Central Pacific Railroad
company had their road built as far
as Newcastle they we're in debt and
despondency. l.. l.. Robinson, who then
owned the old original railroad from
Freeport to Folsom, was laughing In his
sleeve at what he called 'the Dutch Flat
swindle."
The stages then went from Folsom to
the great mining camps of Nevada, es-
peciaily to Virginia City. 1t was the
boast of this Freeport and Folsom road
that the Central Pacific Railroad would
never be built beyond Newcastle.
One morning Charles Crocker lett San
| Francisco on the steamer with three
gentlemen, one of whom was E. A. Rock
well, afterward one of the editors of the
Bee. The steamer stopped at Freeport,
and the Freeport and Folsom railroad
Immediately took away the mail for Vir-
ginia City. A spirited team was waiting
for Charles Crocker and his companions,
and they Immediately dashed of for
Sacramento City. An engine was wait
ing for them at the depot, and Charles
| Crocker gave orders to the engineer to
run the engine at every pound of steam
she could stand. The road was then un-
i DdlduCcl anu III NCll pOOA SOhOioAOAA.
| After they had passed beyond the
American river the engineer lowered his
rate of speed, and at the same time told
Charles Crocker that it was dangerous to
run at the rate they were running.
Mr.. Crocker Immediately said: I'll
you are afraid, you had better get off the
engine"
He then took hold of the lever ant
pulled it to the farthest limit. There
was no doubt in the world but that the
men who were with Charles Crocker wer,
afraid every minute that the train woul(
Jump the track.
But Charles Crocker never moved ;
muscle, and stood at the lever until thu
train reached Newcastle. At Newcastl,
there was four-horse stage waiting TO
them, and they galloped the horses unit
they reached Auburn.
At Auburn was a fresh team, and a
each ten miles between that place ant
Virginia City there was relay of horses
At various points along the mountain
roads, even the drivers were afraid t.
obey Mr.. Crocker.s orders, and on tw,
instances he took the reins himself an,
whipped the team into good gallop.
The result of the whole exciting, wilt
and dashing race was that Charlie
Crocker presented in the business offic
of the Virginia City Enterprise cop!
of the San Francisco Bulletin twelv
hours before the opposition reached til
city.
That was the death blow to the Free
port and Folsom road and the salvation
of the Central Pacific. A few years afte
that the rails on the Freeport and Fol
som road were torn up, and to-day th
old grade bed of the road may be seen b
anybody who drives down to Freeport-
lasting monument to plucky man.

Nor much has been said of late
about the whale industry in Utah, and
yet it is by no means thing of the
past In that atterritory. 1t appears that
about fifteen years ago scientific
Englishman by the name of James
Wickham put this and that together
and became convinced that whales
could be raised in the Great Salt
Lake. The scheme was put on foot
The greater part of two years was
occupied off the coast of Australia by
vessel sent especially for the pur-
pose in continued efforts to catch
young whales without injury. Finally
two beasts, each about thirty-five feet
long, were captured and shipped to
San Francisco in 1873 in tanks built
expressly for them. Fifty tanks of
sea water accompanied their overland
shipment. Mr.. Wickham came from
London III person to superintend the
planting" of his leyiathan pets. He
selected a small bay, built a wire
fence half a mile across it, and in the
the pen so formed turned the whales
loose. After disporting themselves in
a lively manner for few minutes,
they made a dive for the deep water
and shot through the wire fence as if
it had been made of threads. In
twenty minutes they were out OF
sight. When it is remembered that
Great Salt Lake is seventy-hve miles
long and from thirty TO forty miles
wide, Mr.. Wickham's situation will
be appreciated as he stood gazing
helplessly as the young whales disap
peared in the big body of salt water
He went back to London leaving be
hind him an agent to look after his
floating property. Ever since these
animals have been seen at intervals
spouting and playing. The other
day Mr.. Wickham cabled directions
to make careful inspection and re,
port developments The agent fol
lowed the whales five successive days
and nights. He reports that the or
iginal pair are now sixty feet Ill
length, and are followed by schoo
of several hundred young, varying il
length from three TO fifteen feet
From this it appears that the scheme
is a great success, and the enormous
value of the new industry will b,
seen when it is remembered that /,
single whale produces twenty tons o
pure oil.
