READING, Nov. 22.-Thrce men en-
ployed at the Big Dam, about two miles
below this city, franklin sweitzer, John
Hart and Simon Ehrgood, had fright
ful experience during the present high
water. They were crossing in q skif
just above the dam when, as they at
tempted to make a landing, ona of the
oais was unshipped and before the boat
could be righted 1t was caught In the
swift current and carried towards the
breast. Sweitzer Jumped from the boat
and attempted to swim out, while the
others retained their seats. All three
were swept over and went down twenty
feet below into the boiling whirlpool and
were dashed among the rocks. Strange
to say, all three of them got out alive.
Sweitzer was carried down about l50
feet when he managed to swim ashore,
and Hart got out at about the same
time. Ehrgood clung to the boat and
was carried down about mile, when he
was rescued in an exhausted condition
by farmer.

The fourteenth session Of the Nevada
Legislature expired by constitutional
limitation at ~ o'clock last night. OF
the sixty days to which the COnstitu'
tion limits q session the present Legisla-
ture probably devoted O~ne-foorth to the
interests Of the people. The farce Of hav.
ing sixty members and half that num-
Der Of attaches meet for sixty days every
two years, at Q cost OF not less than
$50, 900, is too expensive to be tolerated
much longer, and il will have to end in
the near future. The population and
taxable property Of the State are stead
lily decreasing, and while the State, as
has been the custom, can draw on the
school Fund when financially embsr.
raised, that fund cannot last forever.
No legislation Of q comprehensive char
acter has been accomplished. the session
having been mainly devoted to the con-
sidera.ion OF measures Of q local or per
sonal nature. and the people have re-
ceived no equivalent for the money ex'
ended. Silver State.

The winnemucca Silver State says:
The Legislature made q raid on the
School Fund to the extent Of Sl00, 600.
This money, the Carson papers claim, is
to be expended for q dam to store water
in the Carson river. We have not a
copy Of the bill, but learn that 1t pro-
vides for four commissioners who are to
select sites for reservoirs and dams Tor
water storage, and that a part OF the
appropriation might, at the option OF the
commissioners. be expended on the
Truckee or the Humboldt rivers. II
such is the fact, the commissioners must
be partial to Carson should the whole
amount of the appropriation be expended
in storing water for the mills in that
vicinity.
The policy Of appropriating money
from the School Fund Of the State Tor
dsmming the Carson or any other stream
in the State for the benefit Of a few will
scarcely receive the approval OF the peo.
pie. The State now yves the School
Fund over half a million dollars, and
there is no good reason for adding $780,
coo more to the debt for an enterprise
which may or may not be successful,
and which. in any event, cannot benefit
the State or the schools to any appreei'
able extent.

the Money.

The Comptroller Of the Currency at
Washington has decided q curious case
Of identity. In 1855 q man named A.
Squires deposited l04 ounces Of gold
dust at the Philadelphia mint, took q re.
ceipt and wrote his name in the auto
graph book kept for the purpose. No
person claimed the dust until last jan
usry, when . man calling himself A.
Sauires claimed the value Of it-about
200. He said he had lived in Califor-
mia since 1855 and produced a certificate
Of deposit from which the name Of the
depositor had faded. Some descendants
Of another man named A. Squeir also
claimed the money. After examin.
ing the original autograph written in
1855 and another submitted by the first
claimant, the Comptroller decided in his
favor and ordered the amount paid to

The New York Herald says; If you
wonder at the Legislature Of Arizona
passing a law making death the penalty
of train robbery, read in another column
the startling review Of these crimes that
have recently been committed in various
States. Such lawless desperadoes are no
better than murderers. They are as ready
to take life as they are to take money.
When they waylay a train every passen-
ger is at their mercy. In sparsely settled
regions of the Far West the danger spe.
cially calls for summary treatment. The
example Of Arizona might be followed in
other Territories and States without pop
ular disapproval.

Sabin. in commenting On . letter which
Morgan had written to Judge Hoffman,
said in the presence Of several people:
"In my judgment my associate, Judge
Hoffman, took the proper course in cit

Judges Of the United States Courts that

uttered was false and slanderous and di.
rectly tended to injure the plaintiff in

the silver question. He moved a resolu-

1.-The resolution was objected to by
Senators Harris Of Tennessee, Morgan Of
Alabama, and Frye OF Maine, and con.
sideration was deferred until tomorrow.
"Senator Stewart says that unless the
matter is complicated by political consid-
erations his resolution will get the votes
Of two.thirds Of the Senators. He is free
to say that he does not know whether
President Harrison and Secretary Win
