Heavy Rains and Floods.

This section was visited Tuesday
afternoon by the heaviest rain storm
we have ever seen in Nevada. Soon
after il commenced the water came
rushing down the rayines and canyons
with such force rs To- make il almost
impossible to turn its course or STAY
its velocity As one time it looked as
if many of the houses in town would
be flooded, but only few suffered any
injury. The residence of the News
man built according to the bible the
ory, on hill-fared the worst, the
road bank above him breaking and a
swift current of water and debris COM
ing through the kitchen. All efforts to
to turn or stop the turbid current be-
ing futile. the family had to quickly
yacate. All the doors were then
thrown open and the food permitted
to run through. When the storm
ceased and the flood subsidized our late
abiding place was a sight to behold.
Eevery room was filed with mud and
water a foot deep. To one unused to
Nevada cloudbursts the sight would be
demoralizing, but we had seen such
things beforehand much worse-at
Eureka. Two days hard work, with
assistance, has set our premises all
right barring the carpets, which can
bought cheap by the paper mills-and
we are at home again.
We learn that the storm at Ward
was also very severe, as 1t was in the
valley, where the rays of the setting
sun revealed broad lake of wonder
Gus beauty as seen from here through
the rifted cloud that hung low to the
horizon.
Wednesday afternoon threatened
repetition of the previous days storm,
and our people were on the alert to
avoid its fury. Hail, large as marbles,
came down with great force for about
ten minutes, when it turned into rain,
but not so heavyas on the previous day.
These storms were accompanied by
violent electric forces.
The roads in all directions are bad
ly cut up, and we shall probably hear
of many disasters resulting from these
storms in other parts of the State.

Phoebe Record: The Roe Brothers
of Bristol brought in another load of
bar copper on "wednesday. The total
product of the small experimental
furnace at Bristol is about 10 tons. A
furnace with a capacity of 10 tons per
day is now building. Willet & Co.
are burning charcoal, and other sup
plies will be ready when needed. 1t
appears that the experimental run of
the furnace was made at an actual net
profit to all concerned. This being
the case 1t is probably that copper
will in the future be portion of the
regular output of Lincoln County.

st. Mary's Academy is glorifed place now.
The ample grounds around the buildings ex-
tend from First West Tempt street 80 rods
deep. The trees have grown until the whole
place Is mingled park and bower, In which
the benches, arbors, simmer houses and rocks
are interspersed, while walks and lawns and
all the attachments are kept in perfect order
by the faithful women who have devoted their
lives to the faithful work without any reward
except the warrants that are drawn on eternity.
The outward attachments are but symbols OF
what may be expected within. There are
over one hundred and fifty boarders in the
school besides many day scholars. The peace
and gentleness of the outside prevades the
place everywhere. All il modesty, gentlenesn
and politness, from the pupil just ready 70
graduate down to the little waits that, father
less, motherless snd homeless, were tossed
out upon the world to find within those pre-
cincts home and hearts SO loving that the
stings of orphanage are all taken away.
A Tribune representative took look around
the Academy few days since. One of the
features which arrested my attention was the
thoroughness of the work going on there In
the fundamental educational branches. and al
so sewing, repairing darning, etc. Examina-
ton day is coming soon, aud many of the
misses will appear in dresses made by their
own hands. And they will be worth more
than WOrth's,
Music is an especial feature of the school.
All who have a natural aptitude for music are
being trained. Vocal music Is taught thor
au0hly xu hfIo 4ha -a-ta of -
which instructions is given includes the piano,
harp. violin and several others.
In the fine art department some work is
most exquisite. Besides the usual varieties
of paintings and drawings the art Of hand
painting and firing delicate porcelain is car
ried up to point approaching perfection.
The life work of the patient women in charge
of the educational department is education.
They are thoroughly fitted for their work and
some of them are natural geniuses In their
particular spheres. The underlying thought
is that when children are placed In their care,
they must so far as in their power At them to
become perfect women.
This includes the training Of their intelleets
in the mysteries of the books and at the SAME
time giving their minds and hearts, their
bands and eyes, the discipline which will
prepare them for the duties which await them.
The school is lust a great beautiful home.
The summer sheds comforts without. within
the buildings are heated by steam, made
bright by flowers and singing birds, and fitted
with all modern conveniences, while an at
mosphere ofafection pervades the place like
benediction. II Is good school.-Salt Lake

The following, which we take from
an exchange, is very true, when people
stop their paper to spite the editor.
But taking a paper is purely a busi-
ness proposition, aud to stop taking it
is every mans privilege when he does
not want it and longer:
A great many poor devils of news
paper publishers have the the familiar
demand. stop my paper 1t gen.
orally comes from individuals who
magnify their own importance, owing
to serious defect in their mental
composition. A newspaper man who
appreciates this numerous class of
chronic kickers at their full value,
says to them: latter you get angry
and stop your paper, just poke your
finger in water, pull it out and look
for the hole. Then you will know
how sadly you are missed. A man
who thinksa paper cannot thrive with
out his individual support ought to
go off and stay while. When he
comes back, half of his friends will
not know he has gone. and the other
half won't care a cent, while the world
at large kept no account of his move-
ments. You will find things you cam
not indorse in every paper. The
Bible hits some hard ticks. If you
we're to get mad and burn your Bible,
the hundred of presses would still go
on printing it, and when you stop
your paper and call the editor names,
the paper will still be published, and
what's more-you will read it on the
sly"

FIRE AT CHERRY CREEK.

John Wearne's Store and Residence
Totally Destroyed = DIR. Pinchin0
Burned 20 Death-LOss between SI5-
900 and $40, OOO-A Great Calamity.
We are in receipt of the following
particulars concerning the late disas-
trous fire in Cherry Creek, wherein
human life was lost, together with
the destruction of much valuable prop
erty:
CHERRY CREEK, Aug. 10, 1888.
W. L. DAVIS: Dear Sir-I had the
pleasure of being introduced to you
recently on your visit to the Star mine,
and take the liberty of giving you the
particulars of the recent fire here that
resulted in the total destruction of the
dwelling house and store of Mr.. John
Wearne. | do this not only that you
may have authentic account of this
matter, but because rs the editor of
the paper which is the source of infor-
nation To the people of the county,
you should be able to give them the
facts.
Mr.. Wearne had as visitor staying
in his house at the time of the fire, DIR.
Richard L. Pinching Of San Francisco.
This gentleman was physician of
eminence, very old and comparatively
infirm, anu had in fact come to this
comfy on account of his health. He
retired in as good health as usual
About 4 O'Clock on the morning of
August 10th Mr.. Wearne was aroused
by a sitting smell of smoke, and so
intense was it and the heat that he and
his family barely saved their lives,
getting out in their night clothes and
unable to save anything from the
flames.
On reaching the street, they found
the whole building a mass of flames
into which no one could enter, and
nothing being seen of the doctor, it
was rightly surmised he had lost his
life in the flames. His room was adj
joining the side street and his bed
only four feet from the door. The
only theory that seems therefore to be
be tenable is that the doctor had risen
some time during the night and had
been suddenly attacked by faintness
or apoplexy while holding lighted
candle in his hand. At any rate the
facts are that his be dy was found "
ing across the bed and the candlestick
fallen by his side.
Mr.. Wearne's loss by tie fire has
been very great, amounting to between
$4,000 and 100000, With of course no
insurance.
II is loss not only TO him but to
the community in which he lives, be-
cause he has always used his means
in most liberal and public-spirited
manner for the benefit OF the town 10
which he has made his home so long,
Nor could the loss have happened to
any one who has more sympathy than
he from his neighbors and ali who
know him. A X. Rowan.

RIGHTS ASCENSION AND DECLlNA-
ton.
What the Terms Mean, and Where
the Comet is Situated.


the Comet is Situated.
ISilver state.]
The telegraph reported yesterday
morning the discovery of new comet,
and says that its position is lin right
ascension 10 hours aud 5 minutes,
declination 40 30 N" To most of
the readers of the Silver State this
statement will doubtless convey very
little information, and an explanation
of the terms used. for which we are
indebted to Observer Van Harlinger.
may prove interesting.
There are several ways of describ-
ing the position of heavenly body,
as by reference to the fixed stars near
1t, or by its distance above the horizon
and away from the north point, but
the most usual method is the one used
IN the case now being considered. The
celestial sphere is considered as mark
ed with meridians and parallels in the
same manner as the terrestrial globe,
and these lines are in the same planes
as the corresponding terrestrial lines,
that is, the celestial equator is the
line which is formed by the extension
of the plane of the equator of the
earth, and the celestial poles are the
points where the extended axis of the
earth cuts the celestial sphere.
The position of any star can, of
course, be defined by reference to this
equator and to some arbitrary meridian,
just as positions on the earth are de-
fined by references to the equator and
to the meridian of Greenwich, but in
stead of being called latitude and lon
gitude, as in the latter case, the celes-
tial positions are defined by using the
the terms right ascension and declina-
tion. The starting point for right as
cension is the point where the sun cuts
the equator on March 22d, the time of
the vernal equinox, and instead of be-
ing measured both east and west, as
in the case of terrestrial longitude,
right ascension is measured only to-
ward the east. 1t is sometimes ex-
pressed in degrees, in the same man
ner as terrestrial longitude, but usual
~ in hours and minutes, but as the
revolutions of the earth brings the
same point around to the meridian in
"a hours. it makes no difference, one
hour of right ascension being the same
as 15o.
Declination is distance north or
south of the celestial equator, and cor
responds exactly 10 latitude on the
earth, and is expressed in exactly the
same mBDner.
Taking the report in the telegraph
ic columns as an example. and look
ing on an astronomical chart for the
position indicated, it is seen that the
new comet is not far from the great
bear, or the dipper, as this cnnstella
ton is more generally known. At
this season this groupe OF stars is de-
sending west of the north star during
the evening, and as the comet is closer
to the horizon, twill be necessary
for those who wish to see il To look
for it early in the evening. ut which
time it can be seen through teles-
cope.
