An enormous water spout burst
on the NJ. K. Il T. railroad between
Fayette and Burton, yesterday, and
a thousand feet of track was sub
merged. A trainman who witnessed
the approach of the cloud and was
near at hand when it burst, says:
1.-The cloud resembled a huge in
verted mountain. It reeled along
through the air with the point al
most touching the earth, then it
bounded upward several hundred
feet and again falling, the point
struck against the railroad embank-
ment and in an instant the whole
cloud dropped on the ground an
enormous deluge of water Several
farms as well as the railroad suffer
ed great damage from the water. A
herd of cattle happened to be near
the point where the cloud burst and
were all drowned. Superintendent
Lyon and General Roadmaster Rock
we'll left at once for the scene of the
disaster to learn the extent of the
damage.-Sedalia Bazoo.

Uncle Sans Displeasure Incurred by
Abnse OF the Mails.

h. {. Times, Saturday, June ssh
The time of the United States
district court was largely occupied
yesterday with the cases of Isaac
b Ricksou and Robt. Moore, the
first the principal and the second
the accessory in mailing an obscene
letter to Lizzie Robinson, a country
girl at Warsaw, Mo. The defend
ants reside in the country near
Bloomington, and Miss Robinson
visited in the vicinity over a year
ago. After she returned to Warsaw
Isaac Rlckson wrote to her asking
her to correspond. She refused
several letters, when finally he and
his brother, William E. Rickson, to-
gether with Moore, concocted and
sent the letter that got them into
trouble. It was of such a nature
that it could not be read in court
and was silently passed to the jury.
Isaac Rickson was found guilty, and
the case of Robt. Moore is in the
hands of the jury. William Rickson
was indicted by the grand jury yes
terday as an accessory to the crime.
Sentence was not passed upon Rick
son.
William A. Hubble, of Butler,
pleaded guilty to writing an obscene
letter and mailing it to his wife after
having deserted her. He was SEN

Good morning, Mr.. Mayo"
Good morning, sir" said the latter, as
he extended mis- hand and smiled blandly,
you done me up in great shape this
morning, but then find no fault with you,
for the article was true in nearly every
particular. In fact, it was all true, except
in some of the minor details. Come, let's

By this time the reporter and Mr. Mayo
reached Mr.. Newman's place. The latter was
wreathed in smiles and extending his hand
said: We'll, Eli, old boy, we got to your
collar that time"
They shook hands, took cigar and mu-
tual explanations followed. Mayo seemed
to think he had not attempted to do more
than many others had done to secure per-
feet title when he held tax lien. He
mentioned the names of several prominent
business men whom he said frequently re-
sorted to that method to secure real estate

to have occurred between Governor Water
man and George A. knight of San Fran

The substance of it all was that Mr.. knight
addressed the Governor yesterday concern
ing the appointment of the former to the
Insurance Commissionership that the
Governor replied that he had not contem-
plated such appointment; that Mr. Knight
claimed with emphasis that it HAD been
promised him, but added that he would
not now rake il; that Governor Waterman
as emphaticslly denied making any such
promise; that the debate, though brief,
grew warm and ended by the Governor
declaring he run his Office as he conceived
right, and without any interference or out
side iufiuence.

That Iacomin- Railroad.

W H Mills in speaking about the ru-
mors of the Union Pacihc building into
this State, said, in an interview with Post
reporter:
1--WE all know that the Union Pacific has
survey parties in This State. We know ii
from the drafts they have upon the banks,
and also from the fact that we.l-known
Union Pacific engineers are with the party,
though they have not said word TO the
effect that they are employed bv the Union
Pacific. That road has line already into
Eastern Oregon, and il will not take so
very much money to Guild it into Cali
fornia.
How is it regarded by our people
Favorably. Parallel lines increase bust
ness for both roads, and there is not a
shadow of doubt that there will be some
other road into California. There have
been other surveys into Northern Califor.
MIA l learned that the Chicago ard North
western road made a survey into this State
by the merest accident. / was in the
smoking Car of train running between
New York and Buffalo, when | overheard
conversation between two gentlemen.
The one speaking was an officer of the
Chicago and Northwestern. To nay sur
prise he said that his line had made very
complete "Reminiscences of the Sierra Ne
vada, and intend building in here, and
had also had surveys made into Mexico
Twill the Southern Pacific continue to
build into Oregon"
Certainly. When the Southern Pacific
feels strong enough it will build a great
many more miles into Oregon, and possibly
into Washington Territory. Eastern Ore
gon is great country. and it wants devel-
oping" and Mr.. Mills concluded his re-
| marks with general prophecy that it was
the Southern Paciic's place to develop the
resources of that territory.

L. W. Maslin, who went East some time
ago to lecture on the beauties of California.
and to more particularly present the claims
of FL Dorado, Placer and Sacramento
counties. is wrestling with grapgers in
Iowa. From dispatch received from him
vest, r6ay it appears that on the preceding
night he had lectured to an audience of
500 in Mason City, and the night before
that TO 400 people at Charles City. In
Minnesota Mr.. Maslin was not received
with the warmth that he has been in Iowa,
and the people in the nelghborhood of
Minneapolis care less about the Pacific
coast than do those of the Buckeye State.
Mr.. Maslin has a large amount of printed
matter with him, and being so thoroughly
posted on matters pertaining to California,
his lectures, illustrated by stereopticon
pictures, interest all who hear him. The
press throughout the West where he has lee
tured, give synopsis of his remarks, and
assist in advertising the points of his mis-
