Shortly after the passenger train on
the Milwaukee & Northern Railroad
pulled out of Beaver Station recently,
a man walked through the rear car
to the real door, and drawing a
revolver compelled the brakeman to
give up what change he had about
him. The man then went through
the car, as q conductor does when col
lecting tickets, only that he compelled
each passenger, after he handed over
his cash, to walk ahead Of him until
he reached the baggage car, when, as
the train slowed up near a station, he
leaped from the cars and escaped in
the darkness. 1t is supposed that he
secured three or four hundred dollars
and a few gold watches.
This, like the robbery OF the ex-
press car at Clipper Gap, in the Sierra
Nevada, last Christmas, showed
originality and genius, as it was &C.
complished without stopping the train
or imperiling life by firing at the en-
gineer and express messengers, as the
wild cowboy robbers Of Arizona do,
II the robber was masked, as he
doubtless was, he runs no great risk
Of being detected, unless the watches
give him away" But what can be
thought of the many passengers who
permitted this lone robber to plumber
them, without offering, so far as re
ported, the slightest resistance? =

The Battle Mountain Nevadan in
commenting upon the need Of the
State says: From all accounts there
is a very strong pressure being brought
TO bear to secure the expenditure OF
10000 OF the University appropria-
ton for the erection of a dormitory.
The natural ambition Of the citizens Of
q town like Reno causes them to en-
courage such expenditures often be-
fore any real necessity exists, and it
deveolves upon the taxpayers OF the
State, and perhaps upon the news
papers more particularly, to keep a
watchful eye upon public institutions
and e that the appropriations are
wisely used. We find a general senti-
ment among those best informed upon
University affairs that the erection of
a dormitory at this time is premature.
There ia no demand from any quarter
that We can hear Of and we don't
know OF a scholar that would be in
duced to attend by it. The investment
Of a large fixed capital is not desirable
in any business unless it is all needed
and all used, and we should think
that a sense of duty to the State at
large would cause the managers Of the
University TO make haste slowly in an
outlay so large as that proposed. 1t is
not demonstrated yet what the needs
OF the University may be, and to rush
ahead in such a blind way is TO invite
disaster.

business for n Railroad.

Salt Lake Tribune: A gentleman
was talking about the possibility Of
building a railroad to the Nevada line,
when he remarked that there was not
sufficient inducement for constructing
such a road. There is quite as much
as there was to build the Utah and
Northern. II over in this edge Of Ne
vada there we're a dozen townships Of
well watered agricultural land, there
would be no trouble in getting capital
to build a road to secure the trade that
the farmers would have. Yet there is
more for a railroad in the way Of bust
ness in one strong quartz mine than in
a township of agricultural land. And
a road to Deep Greek would penetrate
or flank Is mining districts. Men
seldom know ANYTHING except what
they learn, and not many men know
how much business a big low-grade
lead-silver mine can give a railroad.

AnnexIng Utah TO Nevada.

The Herald works itself into a pas
sion over the suggestion Of annexing
Utah TO Nevada, and exposes both its
ignorance and malice in denouncing
Nevada and the men OF Nevada. But
it need not worry. The men OF Ne
yada know Utah and her people thor
oughly, and they are not anxious for
a consolidation. Nevada is out Of
debt. All her material interests are
improving except mining, and so soon
as a system of cheap railroads pene-
trates her remote districts, she will re-
sumo her old place as the foremost OF
bullion producers. She IA once q
part OF Utah, and has no especial de-
sire to have the old relations re-es-
tablished. When California shall be
divided on about the 37th parallel,
the two CALIFORNIA; will probably take
in the greater half OF Nevada, prob
ably all OF it, and that will suit the
men Of that REGION better than any
alliance with Utah would.-Salt Lake
Tribune.

The Idaho Mine ON Fire.

GRASS VALLEY, June 3.-This after
noon a fire was discovered in the
1000 level of the Idaho mine. Edward
Coleman, the Superintendent, tried to
go down the shaft with q hose, but
was soon overcome and brought to the
surface unconscious. Frank Carter.
Jr., was killed in trying to get to the
fire, his head being taken off by the
machinery. Coleman will probably
recover.
1t is known that Thomas Dunstan
and Samuel Ralph are down under
the fire in the mine, and there Is no
way TO get them out, but they may
make themselves safe lower down.
LATER-It is now reported that ten
or eleven more men are in the mine.

The Deadly stiIetto.

In Carson on the night OF May 90,
Clement Zanoli and Joseph Warren
we're playing cards in Raffetto's
saloon, on Main street, when they be-
came involved in a quarrel and went
outside to fight. In the row Warren
was knocked down. Rising, he stab
bed Zanoli in the left side, and then
turning the knife, ripped his abdomen
open. He then threw the knife e a
fence and started away on foot in the
direction of this city. He had not
been heard of at last accounts.
Zanoli died the following morning
from the effects Of the wound

The Extent OF the Disaster Cannos
be Realized.

ne htnftNeu.
Every hours revelation at Johns
town, Pennsylvania, adds to the hor-
ror Of the great calamity. The full ex-
tent Of the terrible disaster cannot yet
be realized, even by those who are on
the ground. The food was caused by
the breaking of the dam. The roll OF
the dead will exceed 5000 and may
exceed 1900. Millions in property
has been destroyed, among the rest
the 100000 0 plant Of the Cambria
Iron Company. The loss in property
will reach 500, 000, 900. 1t is estimated
that more than a thousand persisted
in the flames. Whole families have
been wiped out, and a funeral pail in
deed hangs over the once happy and
prosperous valley of the Conemaugh.
The survivors Of the food and fire
are homeless and destitute, and a cold
rain set in this morning to add to
their misery. Food, clothing and
money are needed, which a generous
world is rapidly supplying. By to-
night there will be shelter and food in
abundance, and the cold weather is al
most providential, as it will stay
putrefaction.
The great disaster called all the hui
man impulses into activity, and there
are beautiful stories Of grand heroism
and pathetic stories OF sacrifice and of
fa~ithfulness. The greed OF man is not
wholly snuffed out, however, even in
the sight OF such q calamity, and
thieves, from the bank burglar to the
human vulture who despoils the dead,
have appeared but vengeance is swift, |
and the few bodies that have already
adorned the telegraph poles will prob
ably be sufficient to check crime. To
guard against lawessness the city has
been wisely placed under martial law.

A NOBLE RIDER.
Who is New Nameless Among che
Dead.

HF9MEs
JoHNsrowN, Pa, June 3.-The first
man from the dam at South Fork has
just arrived. The dam burst open in
the center in a broad break. A name
less Paul Revere lies somewhere
among the nameless dead. Who he
is may never be known, but his ride
will be famous in local history.
Mounted on a grand, big bay horse,
he came riding down the pike which
passed through C~onemaugh to Johns
town like some angel OF wrath OF old,
shouting his portentous warning f:
Run for yourpives TO the hills! Run
to the hillsl"
The people crowded out OF their
houses along the thickly settled streets
awestruck and wondering.
Nobody knew the man, and some
thought he was q maniac and
laughed.
On at a deadly pace rode this man,
still ringing out his awful cry.
In a few moments, however, there
came a cloud OF ruin down the broad
streets, down the narrow alleys, grind
ing, twisting, hurting, overturning,
and crashing and annihilating the
weak and the strong alike.
1t was the charge Of the food year
ing its coronet Of ruin and devastation
which grew at every instant Of its
progress.
Forty feet high some say, thirty ac-
cording to others was this sea, and it
travelled with a swiftness like that
which lay hidden in the heels Of Mer-
curry.
On and on raced the rider, and on
and on rushed the wave.
Dozens OF people took heed of his
warning and ran to the hill.
Poor, faithful rider! 1t vas an I'M
equal contest. Just as he turned
across the railroad bridge the mighty
wave fell upon him, and horse. rider
and bridge and all went out into
chaos together.

Bob Burdette writes as follows:
My homeless friend with the
chromatic nose, while you are stir

gin let me give you a fact to wash
down with it. You say you have
longed for years for the independent
life Of the farmer, but have never
been able to get money enough to.
gether to buy a farm. But this is just
where you are mistaken. For several
years you have been drinking an i'm
proved yard at the rate Of 100 square
feet per gulp. II you doubt this state
ment figure it out yourself. An acre
of land contains $500 square feet.
Estimate for convenience the land at
s43 so per acre, you will see that it
brings the land to just n mill per
square foot, one cent for ten square
feet. Now pour down the frey dose and
imagine you are swallowing a straw
berry patch. Call in you five friends
and gulp down that 500-foot garden.
Get on a prolonged spree some time
and e how long a time it requires to
swallop a pasture large enough to feed
a COW. Put down that glass OF gin
there's dirt in it-100 feet of good rich
dirt, worth $43 80 per acre.

The Murderer Caught.

Sheriff Ullrick, who accompanied
his wife Friday evening to Reno, says
the Carson Tribune, had intimation
from his scouts that the escaped MUIR
derer, Joseph Berni. had been seen at
Glenbrook and on a trail from the lake
to Reno, and with Constable Epson,
of that town, went through the west
bound passenger train, finding the
murderer with a ticket for Sacramento
in his possession. He was arrested,
fully identified and locked up for the
night, and was yesterday landed in
Ormsby's Jail.
Berni is an Italian, aged about 80
years, and cannot speak English.

Neither Rich Nor Poor.

Extreme wealth is very rare in
France; and anything approaching to
the riches Of a Vanderbilt, or even Of
a Duke of Sutherland, is unheard Of in
that country. On the other hand, ex-
treme poverty is, in France, almost
equally uncommon. The abject de-
gree OF want and misery that every
where ~iostles the millionaires Of New
York and London is scarcely apparent
in Paris and in the French provinces
is probably rarer than anywhere else
in the world.

and completely disarmed the inhabitants.
Guns and pistols of every sort were taken
possession of and large amount OF cart
ridges thrown into a well Only one
building was set on fire and the robbers
were Induced to extir guiS it before much

The object of the raid was to capture
DR.. Brown and Editor Daniels, but they
were not successful, as these gentlemen
were not to be found. They took during
their stay such articles as they needed from
the stores, butno general pillage took place.
They left last evening, but promised to re
turn for Brown and Daniels.
Bill Thompson has an old grudge against

kill them on sight. Thompson is the
leader of a gang of cutthroats who make
their headquarters in the neutral strip.
