Congressman Tucker accompanied the re-
mains of Senator Hearst to California, aud
since his return has been making some OBJ
seryations upon things that particularly at
lracied his attention. We quote from the
Samioa FRdicaior
Yes, there was one that would strike the
people in any part of the world as peculiar
L town OF 5000 TO 10, 600 inhabitants, with
only one street anC that fourteen miles long
Ii was Riverside" about fifty miles South
east from Los Angeles. Al one end Of this
street Is a village with few stores. From
that extends for fourteen miles an avenue
as broad as Pennsylvania Avenue at Wash
ington, bordering which are planted pepper
trees tree some forty feet high, something
like the willow except that il is covered
with coral berries. On either side Of this
avenue are little orange groves of from ten
to fifteen acres, and in the centre of each
grove is the house of the owner. Ii is the
ioyeiiest picture ! ever saw--a perfect Para
disc. The orange groves | was told pay
from $500 20 $1,000 an acre. The people
were a church going people as we saw, for
we were there sunday and theywere out on
their way to church Strange to say you
enter this Paradise from an arid desert and
you leave its single street at its fourteenth
mile to strike into the desert again. Irriga-
ton accounts for it all. Ten years ago there
was no town there"
But this is Mr. fuckers conclusion;
But allowing fer the big trees and the
pleasure of pulling oranges from their trees,
and the other novelties of the Pacific coast,
the man who looks.around him withobsesy-
ant eyes, and measures the people in with
the country and its resources, esn cone TO
no other conclusion than that the great
Valley of Virginia has future Immediately
before it to which no land that faces on the
Pacific Ocean can compare"

From He limc1esic' Times

FROM tie limcheia' Times.
Death mows with relentless hand, and
selects for its victims those whose lives, we
feel, are most important here.
These reflections are due to the untimely
death of Mrs. Faulkner, the wife Of Senator
Faulkner. Of West Virginia Mrs. Faulk-
ner's death occurred in Washington on
March 3lst, after brief but painful illness.
At her bedside were her entire lamily-her
husband. sister, and her five children.
Mrs. Faulkners death is q melancholy
termination to the brilliant winter through
which she has passed.
Full of life and pleasan: anticipation, APP
preciating the many advantages Of her hus
bands distinguished position (which she
was well fitted to adorn) she desired to make
the season exceptionally bright for the sake
of their eldest daughter, who was to make
her debut in Washington society, and in this
she exhibited the remarkable energy, sweet
ness, thoughtfulness Of others, and entire
forgetfulness Of self so characteristic Of her.
She was a woman of charming personel,
gifted, and wondrously sweet and winning
in manner-of a nature joyous, hopeful and
sunny. Her musical laugh, peculiarly her
own, would Danish gloom from the mind Of
the veriest misauthrope.
She was imbued with deep and earnest
religious sentiment, without which no ma
ture is complete, and which gave an atmos-
phere Of purity and sanctity to her home
home, alas grievou=ly bereh. The faith
ful wife, the loving mother, ihe loyal friend,
the tender sister has winged her way to
heavenly spheres, to boundless eternity, a
mysterious and unknown world
0 God, that it were possible for one short
hour to see the souls we loved, that they
might tell Us ,rtat and 'gierc they be.

The Baltimore and Ohio Rail Road Com
pany has recently placed in service on its
fast trains between New York, Philadelphia,
Baltimore and Washington, three new en-
gines which are doubtless the finest aud fast
es, ever built in this country. These new
flyers have driving wheels six feet, six inch
es high aud cylinders 20 inches ty 24. The
large cylinders give them tremendous power
aud the high drivers protect the machinery
from the rack and strain incident to driving
smaller ngines at great speed. There Is
practically no limit to the speed TO which
these new maryels may be driven and they
skim over the rails as smoothly as swal-
low over lake.
Another recent addition 10 the motive
power Of the company is consignment Of
eight powerful ten wheel passenger engines,
designed for service on the mountain divi-
sion These are the heaviest ten wheel en-
gines ever constructed, weighing sixty sew
en- and one half tons. They have driving
wheels SIX feet two inches high and cyl n
ders q inches by 20 One OF thee machines
performs lh work heretofore requiring two
Of the ordinary class and they take the
heavy through express trains up the noun
tain grades quickly and with perfect ease.
The Mt Clare shops ofthe company have
recent y completed an orderfor ten switch
engines Of the higbes. type, and suiiieIenily
powerful to make up train equal. to the
full drawing power of a consolidation freight
ensiue. Also three new heavy eight wheel
passenger engines, having driving wheels
five feet eight inches, and cylinders twenty
inches by twenty four. These engines are
now doing excellent work they are very
powerful and susceptible Of great speed.
Inaddition to the foregoing the Company
has has now under construction at its Mt.
Clare Shops ten powerful ten wheel engines
designed for fast freight service and for
heavy passenger trains on occasions, also
twelve consolidation freight engines Of
great power.
These additions to its motive power are
in line with the other great Improvements
constantly being made in the general bet
terment Of the B. & Q. property by its pres
ent management, which have been noted by
the press from timeto time, and the rapid aug
mentation of the passenger traffic ofthe Com
pany indicates that the public is quick TO
recognize the present and constantly in
creasiug efficiency Of its train service.
