In Skiatos, one of the Grecian Isles,
there had been no case of diptheria for
over thirty years until the summer OF
1884, when child died of the disease,
and in the course of five months there
were over one hundred cases, with
thirty-six deaths, in community OF
1000. Careful investigation of the
origin of the epidemic resulted in
tracing it to flock of infected turkeys
received from Salonica, and which, on
examination, showed unmistakable evil
dence of the diphtheria process.

ATTORNEY GENERAL GARLAND wears
in the winter time q broad-brimmed,
low-crowned black felt hat. On the
approach of the heated term it gives
place to similarly shaped white straw.
The one with which he has been identi-
fed for several summers has been re-
placed by brand-new manila. which
has occasioned considerable surprise
and comment, for it is the first sum-
mer hat purchased by the Attorney
General in many years. Its prede-
cessor has been the subject of many
jokes, and in speaking about it the
other day the Attorney General said {:
"The newspapers have been wrong
about that hat. They said I had worn
it for four years, when in fact it has
done me service for twelve years"

CERTAIN rich men are quoted as play
ing the role of philosophers and decry-
ing the advantages of wealth they enjoy.
One of the most notable, for instance,
alleging that he could not even drink
champagne SO as to spend his money, and
dyspepsia preventing him from table in
diligence. There is nothing in the way,
save indisposition, to deter the nabobs
from doing good with their money.
They could endow libraries, found
free dispensaries of medicine for the
poor, aid charitable institutions, assist
deserving young men and women in
the first hard struggle to obtain foot
hold, establish parks for the public to
rest and recreate in and do benifcent
deeds in hundred channels. Instead
of selfishly complaining that they get
no pleasure from their money, they
might find out fresh springs of happi-
ness by devoting a part of their means
to generous ends. They miss content
ment because they do not deserve it.
They are punished for being mean and

Strange But True.

There is nothing half so strange
in life as a universally popular
Postmaster. Such a phenomenon,
however, appears to exist in the
person of Postmaster White, of Car
son, Nevada. He is a Republican,
and his term is about to expire,
but there is not a Democratic appli-
cant for the place, and Democrats
and Republicans alike, together
with the ladies of Carson, have
united in a petition asking for
Whites reappointment. Verify,
the millennium must be at hand
when Democrats, Republicans and
the ladies lie down together. The
ladies', however, will have the most
influence with the President, for is
not the real ruler of the White
House Mrs. Cleveland p Sacra-
mento Bee.

The &. p. Accident.

Further particulars have been
received here Of the accident last
Monday on the G. P. r. r.
The collision occurred between
special freight train, bound East,
and regular freight train, Nc. 6,
bound West, at a point between
Cisco and Tamarack.
There were two engines attached
to each train, and all four engines
were badly wrecked.
A number OF cars were smashed
to atoms, and, to make matters
worse, the snowsheds were shatter-
ed and considerable portion there
OF fell in on the wreck.
John Pickens, who had charge
of engine No. 156, attached to train
No. 6, was instantly killed.
B. F. Wooley, engineer on the
rear engine of the same train was
severely scalded and otherwise in
jured.
Engineer Trincano, of the special,
was badly cut about the head.
Brakemen McMaster and Con-
grave and fireman Hoops are mis-
sing, and, it is feared, are buried
in the debris.
The fireman of engine No. 1876,
man from Rocklin, whose name is
is also missing.
Wrecking trains and physicians
were sent from Sacramento and
Truckee.
The cause of the accident is not
yet known, but it must have re-
suited from a misunderstanding On
the part of the trainmen.
II was the duty of the special to
keep clear of the time of the re-
gular, but it is evident that this was
not done or else the regular train
pulled out of Tamarack before her
Time was up at that point.

Marriage Of senator stewards
DAUGHTER I'm Washington.

Marriage Of Senator Stewart:i
DAUGHTER I'm Warrington.
i Mrs. Annie Foote Stewart Fox, q
younger daughter of Senator and
Mrs. Stewart, was married on the
10th inst. at her parents residence,
1907 Rhode Island avenue, to Senior
Jose de Romeroy Dune, an attache
of the Spanish Legation. The cere-
mony was quite private, being Wit
messed by the family circle alone.
The Only others invited were Sena-
tor and Mrs. j. p. Jones. The
Senator could not attend as he was
snow bound In New York. The
bride, who is very attractive in per-
son and looks, laid aside the slight
mourning which she had been wear
ing for her infant son, who died
during the Winter, to don her bridal
robe OF pink silk, made with high
waist. After the brief ceremony
and congratulations from the small
party present, the newly married
couple went to their future residence
apartments, Wassac avenue. The
bride has two young sons, who are
now in boarding school, but will
reside with her in future. She has
been divorced from her husband
for some time. Preparations for |
the wedding had been delayed for
several weeks by her desire to have
a Catholic priest solemnize the /
as Senior Romero has been
raised in that faith. The dispense
ton, however, could not be granted, |
and the ceremony was performed
by Rev. DIR. Bartlett.
