OFE THE TRACK.
The G. 4 G. Train Ditched-A Marrow
ESCAPE From Being Dumped Into
the River.


the River.
Last Thursdays south-bound C. & c.
train reached here about an hour and a half
behind time. The train pulled out of here
with heavy load Of lumber for the South,
and as she crossed the switch at the upper
end of the yard the hind brake-beam Of one
of the lumber cars fell down and threw the
truck off the track. Express messenger
Murphy felt the jar and upon looking out
and seeing what the matter was, jumped
from his car to the ground, thinking to catch
the hind coach as it went by and inform the
conductor Of the mishap. Murphy being
weak from a recent sickness failed to catch
the coach or attract attention, and the train
wen, on with the lumber car truck bobbing
along on the ties. Just ahead was the rail
road bridge across the Carson river which
stream was running bank full with current
like a tail-race. The train was gaining
speed all the time as engineer Church was
crowding on all the steam to pull the heavy
load up the hill across the river. The end
Of the lumber car was held up by the coup
ling, and crossing the bridge the loose truck
broke three heavy ties square in two. The
cars wabbled fearfully, but they stayed on
the bridge. after crossing which the train ran
distance of about 200 yards, to the culvert
through which the water from Eldorado
canyon flows. Here the truck jumped from
the road-bed altogether, the car of lumber
was piled in the ditch, the freight car behind
it was turned nearly onto its side, and the
forward truck of the fast-freight car was
thrown off. A gang Of men went to work
Immediately to straighten up the wreck. A
box-c car and the lumber car were left in the
ditch, and the other box-car and the fast
freight car were righted up and put on the
track. 1t took until ten o'clock to do this
work, and the train from the South was de.
layed here until that time. The train that
was wrecked left here at Io:45 that night.
A gang Of men was employed yesterday in
strengthening up the cars that were left in
the ditch, fixing the track, bridge, etc.
Altogether the accident was what might be
termed "lucky mishap," for had the train
gone Of the bridge some of the passengers
or trainmen would doubtless have been
drowned. The loss sustained by the rail-
road company is not very great.

A DEAD MONGOL.
The Antopsy-A Festive Cortege.

A Chinaman named Fab Ting, who has
worked at the Douglass mill for a number Of
years past, turned up his toes last Monday
and slid into the land Of rice and honey.
His illness was very brief and there were
many doubts as to what caused his death
until DR.. Box held an o-topsy and pronounced
that Mr.. Fab Ting had pegged out from an
aggravated and complicated case Of la grippe.
The doctor dissected the body with an old
hoof- pairing knife that he had become an
expert at handling while formerly engaged
in the profession Of horseshoeing, and hav-
ing had some experience in butchering hogs
in Canada he did quite unique, if not
very gaudy job on the pagan stiff. From
DR.. Box we learn that the Ia grippe is a dis
ease that is brought about by the presence
Of animalcules in the pylorus. which shuts
of communication between the stomach and
the intestines, naturally causing q severe
grippe. These animalcules are taken in
through the mouth and nose. They affect
the parotid, submaxillary and sublingual
glands first, causing inflammation and in
tense irritation, and much expectoration.
The animalcules next work their way into
the pharynx, then into the esophagus and
the trachea to the lungs and stomach. For
this scientific discovery and explanation we
believe the medical professor owes DR.. Box
much-as much as good-sized drink, any
way.
Fab Ting's funeral took place Wednesday
At high noon. Welk Lothrop, our local Col.
Sellers, managed the funeral. In company
with doctor he dug the grave, acted as
pall-bearer and drove the heafse to the grave
with the corpse. As the cortege passed
up Main street it was doleful- looking sight
until the Union Hotel was reached. AT
this moment Hugh CARING invited the driver
of the hearse to take drink. The process.
sion came to halt, the Col. stepped down,
after handing the lines to the Chinawsman
beside him, and, after INDUCING, the Col
again headed the procession and a fresh
start was made for the grave. When abou,
halfway up the hill it was found impossible
to proceed further by the road owing &c
snow and mud, SO the cortege started cross
lots over the hill. The entire force was re.
quired to push behind to get the hearse
to the top of the hill, and all the mourners,
pail bearers and friends joined in. The Col
said mass over the remains as they were be.
ing lowered into the grave, after which he
placed the female friends Of deceased in the
hearse and drove them to their respective
residences in Chinatown.

to 10 o'clock this forenoon twenty bodies

Brakeman Michael GilIen tells this
story: after the first shock | looked out
of the forward window and could see the
forward cars being knocked into the river
and heard the sound of the cracking tim
beers as the ground together like kindIing
wood | saw the entire side of the smok-
ing car ahead of mine torn out and
then | turned my back thinking my
last moment had come" Many passengers
in our car were screaming and several of
them had climbed half way out of the
windows. ] shouted to them to keep
quiet and the next instant our car was
struck and upset down the bank but not
overturned. seeing no immediate danger
for those in our Car jumped out into the
river, which was about FIVE feet deep
there, and worked my way to the forward
part of the wreck. In one of
the wrecked cars I heard
man shouting fol help. Il m not caught
and I'm not hurt, but I cant get out,
he said He was pinned in the Car like
a rat in box, and the wood was blazing
all about him. | secured bucket and
began throwing water on the fire. and
think the man was saved. had to work
alone for some time, although there was a
crowd of people standing on the bank
above the wreck to whom | shouted to
come and help me. They refused, how
ever and it was some time before other
help arrived" The body of an unknown
man, who was among the last taken out of
the wreck, was identified as Geo. Lamlent

fatalities at 81. All the wrecked cars
were taken from the river tonight and it is
now believed that no more bodies are in
the water and that this ends the death list
