Diamonds Too Rich for That Cow.

From the Windsor Locks Journal.
3. 0. Bancroft, of Warehouse Point,
lost a valuable COW recently. Two
years ago this animal, then d calf,
swallowed a diamond ring belonging
to a member of the family. Mr.. Ban
croft never having been able to find
the ring, determined to have a post
mortem examination of the animal.
Accordingly he procured the services
of our local surgeon, DR. Alfred j.
Weed, who with the assistance Of
King Bennett, a butcher from Wind
sOr Locks, made an examination Of
the COW s. interior. A good portion
of the ring was found just where DR..
Weed predicted it would be-imbed-
ded In the reflections Of the mucus
membrane of the pelvic Orifce OF that
delicate organ, the manifold or pull
veriZing stomach. The ring had be
come impacted in the muscular walls,
and, therefore, made very little
trouble; but from some cause 1t had
become detached, thereby causing
circumscribed Inflammation of the
organ, and thence spreading to the
lining membrane of the abdomen.
producing peritOuitis, which caused
the cows death

Death of an old Cars0nite.

Death of an old Cars0nite.
Major John II. Parker, a brother
of Hon. HI. G. Parker of Carson,
died from appoplexy at his home in
Portland, Oregon, on Wednesday of
last week. The Major was for some
years resident of Carson, and was
well known as contractor for the
erection of buildings and bridges.
His daughter is the widow of WASH
ington Small. who was accidentally
killed last year. Osro, a brother of
John and Hubbard. was killed by an
accident in the Carson Mint about
fifteen years ago. John "a. Parker,
the deceased, was Major of the First
Battalion of Minnesota Cavalry in
1862, and was mustered out of the
service with his regiment by reason
of expiration of term of enlistment.
He was then 80 years of age.

An Improved Air Ship.

A vessel for aerial navigation
which is designed to be light, We
strong and roomy structure, capable
of easy ascension and being readily
steered, is illustrated herewith, and
has been patented by Mr.. Chas. III.
Morgan, of Gunnison, Col. 1t il
constructed with a series of longi
tudinal tubes, adapted to hold con-
centrated gas, and bent to assume a
generally spherical shape. These
tubes are secured at their extremi-
ties to reduced end ribs. and to
transverse circular or oval ribs, be-
tween which and the longitudinal
ribs is an inner inclosing silk or
metallic wall. Another smooth
metallic wall is also provided, hav-
ing . sharp forward point, in which
is sight opening, a steering ap.
paratus being mounted near by. In
the central portion of the ship is
compartment, in subdivisions of
which are electric motors to furnish
propelling power, the wings being
designed to partake somewhat of
the appearance of birds wing,
the upper row of wings propelling
the ship forward and slightly up
wards, while the dip and stroke of
the wings may be adjusted within
certain limits. The rudder is made
in somewhat the shape of fish tail,
and consists OF two fans arranged
side by side in the same plane.
The ship is elevated principally
through the introduction OF the con-
centrated gas in the longitudinal
tubes into the gas chambers, and
may also be facilitated by
the air from other small |
and filling them with
gas, while the ship may be lowered
oy external valves arranged with |
cords within easy reach.
rhe strength and character of the
walls allow for great expansion OF
he gas, and automatically working |
'alves are arranged to accommo-
late the varying internal and ex-
ernal pressures in upper and lower
trata of air. = Scientific Ameri-

THE LOTTERY CRAZE.


Carson City Flooded with tn,
Tickets.
Yesterday an APPEAL reporter
was conversing with young mar
in reference to the lottery craze
The latter pulled out thick packet
of little Louisiana Lottery tickets
and said:
"Here are 1000 tickets; I Will
sell every one before next Saturday
night"
He went on to say that the month
before he had sold 1900 tickets,
and could have sold more if he had
ordered in time.
Most Of his customers are ladies'.
He declined to give any names, but
said there is lottery ticket held ev-
cry month by nearly every family
in town.
He said one business man in town
took $50 worth every month, and
had done so for some time.
"Last month, ;" said he, ~ cashed
thirty-two prize tickets, and this
time about ten."
This agent is only one of dozen
in Carson, all Of whom do thriv-
ing business.
A well-known citizen told the fol-
lowing yesterday:
"Last night 1 bought q lottery !
ticket for the first time, and when I
went home l kept the matter quiet,
as l was a little ashamed of the
gamble. But the conversation soon
1rifted into lottery, and 1 finally

Cyclones, Billiards., Floods and
Fatal Fires.

THE storm which ragged from the Goth to
the 23d through portions of Dakota, Mime
sofa and northern Wisconsin was one of the
severest that has been experienced in the
Northwest this season. 1t consisted of a
cold wave of unusual severity, accompanied
by a heavy and cutting wind, in many
places rendered worse by binding snow
storms. Railroad traffic was more or less
affected In the interior of Wisconsin and
the upper peninsula of Michigan the storm
was severe and caused the most complete
blockade of the winter.
DURING the past week many parts of the
country have been visited by floods. At
Racine, Wis, the entire country south of
the river was flooded and the people es-
capped to the city in boats. The upper Mis-
souri, had the highest water for years, and
the county was flooded for forty miles on
either side, doing great damage In Massa-
chusetts, Connecticut, New York and Rhode
Island considerable damage resulted by
the sudden breaking up of the ice in the
rivers, carrying away bridges and dams. A
great flood is raging at Stevenson, Dakota.
A TERRIBLE wind-storm ragged at Calhoun,
Georgia, on the 21st instant, demoishing
the Baptist and Methodist churches and
several houses, wounding four or five per-
sons and killing many cattle. From Cal
houn into East Tennessee the tornado
cleared the ground completely of grass and
forests. In Loudon county many men,
women and children were seriously injured.
The loss at Calhoun is $4,000. At Lumber
City two prominent citizens were killed.
AT Lenors, Tenn, much damage was done
and several lives lost. The residence of j.
II. Williams was blown away and his wife
was carried off in the wreck and killed.
Several houses were reduced to fragments
Furniture and provisions were carried for
miles by the wind.
THE Elberon flats in New York city were
burned early on the 10Th. There was great
excitement and many people jumped out of
the windows One of them, Mrs. Frances
Westlake, widow, was killed. Several
others were badly hurt and burned. -
While performance was in progress at the
Banquet theater in Oporto, Portugal, an eX-
plosion of gas occurred and the theater took
fire and was destroyed. The house was
full of spectators, and it is stated that more
than two hundred lives We're lost, the list
including some English and American tour
lists. There was a terrific struggle at the
doors when the spectators tried to escape.
Large numbers were suffocated and tram
pied upon, and many, on reaching the street,
were so seriously injured that they vomited
blood. The actors escaped in their theatre
cal costumes. Many of those in the theater
finding themselves unable to reach the
doors, jumped from the windows and some
corpses were found in the stage boxes. The
gas was eXtinguished shortly after the fire
broke out, thus adding to the confusion.
