Heavy Land Sndes-Rain Falling in Tor

Heavy Land Slides-Rain Falling in Tor
rents at Kennel.
From the RECORD UNIONS special correspond
ent.
KENNEL, January 29th.-Your CORE
spondent left Redding at noon to-day, tax
ing the special train bound for Kennel. 1t
was expected that the road was all right to
this place, but when the train had pro-
ceeded four miles up the road men were
found repairing short bridge, and halt
had to be made for nearly two hours, until
the trestles were placed in condition for the
train to cross.
While waiting the rain began to fall, and
in short time it commenced to come down
in torrents.
The river, which was to the right of the
track. commenced to raise at the rate of a
foot an hour, and water from the small
creeks came down the mountain sides with
a rush.
Your correspondent took advantage OF
the delay and walked up the track to the
place where an engine was thrown down
months ago. The engine remains there
yet, the company not having had time to
remove it and place it on the track.
The mills of the Calumet Gold Mining
Company, across the river from this point,
were in full operation, as were other quartz
mines seen on the way up.
After the trestle was repaired the train
proceeded on northward, and Kennel was
reached shortly after o'clock tonight.
The first obstruction on the road is a
landslide about mile and half above
here. The track. for distance of over so
feet, has been torn cut by the terrific
force of sliding mass, which is about 200
feet in length and Its depth ranges from 5
to feet.
To-day force of about 100 men were
engaged in clearing the track, but the
heavy rain precipitated fresh dirt and rock
almost as fast as it could be shoveled out.
In the afternoon to-day the rain came
down in such torrents that the men had to
cease work and come back to this place,
where they are quartered in a work train.
1t is probable that more dirt will slide out
of and upon the track tonight, but if it
should not, the men will easily clear the
track i'll the morning, as there was only
about two car lengths to shovel away
when they left tonight.
The next obstruction to the track is
about six miles above here, and consists of
rock and dirt-slide about one mile the
other side of Morley station.

A SUGGESTION.

The present indications are that a re-
newal of the great storm is at hand. 1t
behooves us, therefore, to give thought to
the communities in the upper regions of
TIE State and the remote mountain dis
tricts that have been some weeks showed
in. If they are much longer imprisoned
they must be succored. Few such groups
of people are provisioned for such long
siege as they have undergone. There are
a great many isolated homes in the snowy
regions of the mountains where death may
already have come on the wings of starva-
ton. We know that some have already
been found in dire distress, and searchers
have discovered houses where the inmates
have died for the want of the common
comforts. 1t would seem that the time has
arrived for some systematic search and
inquiry to ascertain where there is suffer-
ing, that relief may be given. The people
of the valleys where there is no snow, no
cold that occasions suffering where there
is plenty, and the earth is carpeted with
the green of springing vegetation, stand
ready to aid the sufferers in the mountains,
if such there are, and we believe and fear
there are many. Some State authority, or
perhaps some one of our large commercial
bodies, should set on foot the necessary
inquiry in this matter at once.

ARRESTED AT THE ALTAR.
A Wedding Interrupted by the Appea
ance of Officials.

A Wedding Interrupted by the Appear
ance of Officials.
BUFFALO, January 29th.-A merry little
wedding party had dramatic termination
last night by the manner in which it was
broken up.
Guests, bridesmaid. the best man and
the clergyman, as well as the pretty bride,
LYNNE Hyman, were dumbfoumded.
John Brennan, who worked for pro-
duce dealer, was. to all appearances, an
honest and deserving young man, and his
friends congratulated him when they heard
he was marrying Miss LYNNE. Last night
was the time set for the wedding,
aud as the blushing young bride stood be-
side John, and the minister was about to
question both, there was rude rap on the
parlor door.
One of the guests opened it, and in
walked two detectives wearing their shields
They motioned to Brennan, who turned
pale, and handed his sweetheart to the
minister.
Don't be frightened, LYNNE" he said :;
"this matter will be arranged in second"
"Oh, God, John - shrieked the bride,
"you have killed somebody"
With that the young lady fell IN swoon.
The guests were awe stricken when they
saw their host marched off in the direction
of the jail between the detectives.
1t seems that for some time past Bren-
nan has been swindling his employer By
forging orders for grain for the purpose of
beginning housekeeping with a reasonable
amount Of money. Brennan for the past
two weeks had been rather indiscreet, and
daily robbed his employer of more money
than he had hitherto been in the habit of
taking. His populations were then discov
cred, and to impress upon the young man
the seriousness of his crime, his employer
concluded to have him arrested the day he
was to have been married.

AN Anarchist named Franklen COM
mitted suicide in Williamsburg, n. Y, re-
Gently, on the plea that he had not fair
chance in the world, and was crushed by
the successful. The neighbors of Frank
len say that he had just as fair an oppor-
tunity as any other man of his ability.
They declare that he was not unfortunate,
but that he was lazy. He frequently de-
clared that the world owed him living,
but he would not roll up his sleeves to work
for it. He was coward, as well as lazy
fellow, for having persuaded his wife to
let him kill her, after he had butchered
his child, he had not the courage to kill
himself until the police rushed in, when
in fear of seizure, he blunderingly put an
end to his existence. This fellow was a
fair type of the average Anarchist, who,
as a rule, is too lazy to work, and hating
mankind while he assumes to love his fell
lows, has no higher ambition than to live
upon the industry, ability and skill of
others. He broods upon what he deems
the ills of society, until discomfort becomes
bitterness and bitterness ripens into excuse
for assassination and the despoiling of other
men of their goods. Franklen, for exam
pie, was sober man, intellectually bright,
and good workman. But being innocu-
lated by misunderstanding discontents, he
imbibed their doctrines, abandoned his
trade, and set out to reform the world by
growing at it, and cursing society for not
supporting him in idleness. He was fair
example of the legitimate result of Anarch-
list teachings.

the first national trumpet note for a real
secret ballot to come from the camp of the
Democratic host. True, the Republican
party never has been an obstruction in the
path of any progressive good, nor will it
be; but in this matter of secret ballots, the
elimination of ticket peddlers and the
abolition Of the ballot brokerage Office,
there are good many Republicans of
prominence who are holding the party
back, to its detriment Assuredly, all such
will be cleft" There will be no DISPOSE
ton to stay the march long enough to bury
these doubters who cling to the idols of
past. If they are to stay with the party
they must change their lament to shout
of encouragement. Neither the Republic
can nor the Democratic crafts have any
berth room for those who mourn for the
flesh pots of corruption in the old-fashioned
ballot methods.

Yet Be Well.

Yet Be Well.
TRUcKEE, Janury 29;h.-It began snow
ing again to-day at this place and west as
far as Cisco, according to the telegraphic
reports received here.
The storm is not near as severe as was
the one of last week, and it may be only
passing one.
But if it continues it threatens to undo
ali the tremendous labor of the past fifteen
days. At present the entire road is open,
except about mile and half between
Tunnel 10 and this place, which remains
to be cleared of ice.
The snowfall thus far of the storm, which
began at 4:30 o'clock this afternoon, is
about eighteen inches.
Should it not have greatly increased by
the time the obstructed portion of the
road is cleared, the west. bound trains,
seven in number, now at this place, Reno
and Wadsworth, will be started soon.
Should the snowfall, however, be so
great as to cause fears of its impeding the
movement of trains, it is likely that the
delayed trains will be started East, and the
passengers, etc., transferred so as to reach
California by way of the Southern route
road.

Outfit Trains Get Through.

SUMMIT, January 29th.-The push pillow
which was derailed near Tunnel Is this
afternoon has been replaced on the track
and has reached the tunnel all right. Di-
vision Superintendent Wright's special car,
as well as several outfit trains strung out
between this place and the tunnel, will
start shortly after midnight for Truckee,
the road being passable to that place. 1t is
showing here, but not very hard. Still, it
is doing considerable damage, and even if
it does not get worse, will delay the raising
of the blockade at least twelve or fourteen
hours. 1t is understood that large force
of shovelers will be put to work before
morning, repairing fresh breaks and clear
ing the track of the present snowfall.

THE San Francisco Call, commenting
upon the blockades of the railways over
the mountains, says:
The statement is thrown out for what it is
worth that such blockade could not have hap
pened to New York or Chicago. As matter of
fact. New York never had d seventeen-foot fall
of snow to contend with. A fall of three or four
feet is quite as much as the railroads leading out
of that city can manage. They have frequently
been closed up with less. 1t should be borne
IN mind that we have had a seventy days
storm, with day or two's interruption, This
unprecedented storm eliminated in twelve
days of steady dowDpour, which, in the Slerras
took the form of snow The depth as reported
was about equal to the length of a telegraph
pole. Instead of surprise that this unusual
snow-stom caused interruption of travel the
wonder is that the railroad company are but
two or three days behind the storm in clearing
the track
The truth Is that there was no time
during the whole blockade that the roads
would not have been opened in two or
three days time, had the storm ceased.
But no human preseienee could foresee the
phenomenal meteorological condition that
obtained during the blockades, and that
are still, in several quarters defeating the
effort to clear roads, and keep them open.
THE grand army of anti-ballot reform
obstructionists, both Republican and DEM
ocratie, are aghast that Governor Albeit,
of New Jersey. should have stepped ont of
the way of the car of progress-indeed, that

ernor, in his message to the Legislature,
after commencing the reform system and
urging the Legislature to pass the neces-
sary laws to make it effective in New Jer-
sey, recently said:
There should be an exclusive official ballot,
printed and distributed by the Stste, so that one
ballot cannot be distinguished from another
when il is folded and ready for voting. The law
should prohibit the use OF any ballot except the
official ballot.

Governor Campbell, of Ohio, and other
leading Democrats have echoed the same
cry, and nov It really begirs to look as if

Tit for Tat.

1t is an old complaint of Nevada people
that the Southern Pacific, in selling tourist
round-trip excursion tickets would not per-
nit stop-over privileges. and thus, it has
been argued, home seekers have been forced
to pass through Nevada and have entered
California, to the benefit of this State. As
a fact this forfeiture OF stop-over privileges
is an understood rule of all excursion
ticket sales. Nevada real estate men have
complained to the Southern Pacific people
about this considerably. Now, in conse-
quence of the long blockade, facetious
San Francisco railway man sees chance
to get even. This is the message he has
wired to the Reno Gazette: How do you
like the stop-over privileges now offered by

THE San Francisco Bulletin sees in the
later ambition of Prince Bismarck de-
termination to have Austria absorbed by
the German Empire. The fact is that
Prince Bismarck has made no concealment
of that intention on his part for a long
time, and our contemporary can find in
some of his recent expressions on the sub
ject, frank avowal of such a desire.
Whether it can be effected is another
thing. OF course the Hungarians never
will submit to absorption, nor is it con-
tended that Germany wishes that element
to be drawn into her national composition
1t is altogether likely that she would aid
Hungary to her independence if that
would contribute to the merging of the
Austrian possessions otherwise dominated
with the German Empire. But there is
large Slav element under the Austrian
rule that will prove no more assimilative
that the Hungarians, and it is not believed
that Germany can either conquer it by
arms or the arts of peace, to surrender of
hopes, however faint, that the day may
dawn when Pan-slavic confederation will
free it from foreign rule.
PRECISELY as was to have been ex-
pected, one of the journalistic agencies of
Misrepresentation and abuse of the rail-
road companies, advises delayed passen-
gers on the Central route to bring suits
against the railroad corporation for dam
ges for detention in the snow. This
clearly discloses the animus of the misre-
ports of the conduct of the railroad peo-
pie during the blockade in journals that
advise such procedure as suits for dam
ages. 1t will not, however, result in any
qualification of the spleen out of which
such advice arises. No carrier is to be
held responsible for that which is not the
result of his negligence. What the law
terms "The Act of God" is not, and never
has been, cause for action to recover
against carrier.
