Msw Charles CreekeP saved the
Central Pacific Railroad.

Shortly after the few brave men who
inaugirattd the Central Pacific Railroad
Company had their road as far as New
castle and were In debt and despondcncy,
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 10
the great mining camps oi Nevada, es-
pecially to Virginia City. In those days
the San Francisco Bulletin was the great
newspaper Of the State. II was the boast
Of this Freeport and Folsom road that the
Central Pacific Railroad would never be
built beyond Newcastle.
One morning Charles Croker left San
Francisco on the steamer with three other
gentlemen, one Of whom was T.. A. Rock
well, afterwards one Of the editors Of the
Beo. The steamer stopped at Freeport,
and the frccport and Folsom Railroad
Immediately took away the mail TO vir-
ginia City. A spirited team was waiting
for Charles Croker and his companions,
and they Immediately dashed off for
Sacramento City. Anengine was waiting
for them at the depot, and Charles
Croker gave orders TO the engineer 10
run the engine at every pound Of steam
she could stand. The road was then un-
ballasted and in very poor condition.
After they had reached the American
River the engineer lowered his rate OF
speed, and at the same time told Charles
Crocker that IL was dangerous TO run at
the rate they were running.
Mr.. Croker Immediately said: .If
you are afraid you bad better get off the
engine"
He then took hold OF the lever and
pulled IT 10 the farhest limit. There is
no doubt in the world but that the men
who were with Croker were afraid every
minute that the train would jump the
track.
But Charles Crocker never moved a
muscle and stood at the lever until the
engine reached Newcastle. At Newcastle
they galloped the horses until they reached
Auburn.
AT Auburn was fresh team, and at
each ten miles between that place and
Virginia City there was relay OF horses.
AT various points along the mountain
roads even the drivers were afraid to
obey Mr.. Crocker's orders, and in two
instances he took the reins himself and
whipped the horses into good gallop.
The result OF the whole exciting, wild
and dasling race was that Charles
Crocker presented in the business Office
OF the Virginia City Enterprise a copy Of
the San Francisco Bulletin twelve hours
before the opposition reached the city.
That was the death blow TO the Free.
port and Folsom road, and the Salvation
OF the Central Pacific. A few years after
that the rails on the Frecport and Folsom
road were torn up, and to-day the old
grade bed OF the road may be seen by
anybody who drives down 10 Freeport, q
lasting monument to plucky man.

Elijah Smith, and causes the once famous
Jarrett-Palmer trip 10 pale into insignifi-

miles from Omaha, and far beyond the
canyon-cut grand old Rockies. On Tues
day Mr.. q. b. Markle received telegram
notifying him that his father in Chicago
was dying, and bidding him to get there
just as soon as he could. BY regular
train 1t would have taken four days and
nights TO make the journey; 80 Mr..
Markle hired special, for which he paid
$500, with the privilege Of travelling just
a. fast as steam would carry him.
He left Portland at O'Clock Tuesday
evening and ruDthed Omaha at o'clock
Thursday morning. Figure the time
with the distance and IL will be found
that the speed Of cannon ball is about
the size OF the swiftness attained. The
Oregon Railway and Navigation record is
not known, but while on the Union
Pacific, say from Huntington to Omaha,
the average rate, including all stops. was
forty-seyen and one-half miles ai hour.
This would put the actual running st
fifty-eight or sixty miles. The run from
Cheyenne 10 Sidney, lo2 miles, was
made, counting in one stop OF ten minutes

We were going down the Mississippi,
and had just pulled out Of Matches, when
man who had boarded the boat at that
place sat down with four or fve Of us and
entered into general conversation. He
was learned and intelligent AMI was as
calm and self-possessed as any one you
ever met. BY and by he coolly said:
Gentlemen, want your opinion on
strange question. Let each one Of you
give his choice Of death in a case Of
suicide
There was more or less jocular talk be-
fore an opinion was given. There were
five OF US, TO be exact. and two held 10
laudanum, one to shooting and the other
two 10 drowning. Ii was agreed, how
ever, that in none OF the cases would the
victin suffer much, provided he was de-
termined to make sure thing OF it.
"Wby do you ask, Colonel?" queried
after awhile, seeing that he was silent.
because it's personal matter TO me.
Gentlemen, l am very glad to have met
you, and to have had this pleasant visit.
Good day."
He lifted his hat, bowed grandly, and
walked TO the port side Of the boat and
sprang into the water before the eyes of
fifty people. We stood ready in case he
came up, and the boat was stopped and
held, but never sign Of him did we see.
The Father OF Waters closed in over an.
other mystery 70 tightly that not even
finger-tip was shown to guide us. Some
day his body foated to the surface, TO be
