Tho Little Things The Most Valuable.

Comparatively few people regard them
selves as inventors, but almost everybody
has been struck, at one time or another,
wi In ideas that seemed calculated to reduce
some of thellittle ffictIons of life Usually
such ideas are dismissed without further
thought.
why don't the railroad company make it's
car windows so that they can be slid UP and
down without breaking the passengers
backe?" eXclaims the traveller. IF / were
running the road would make them in such
way"
what was the man that made this sauce
pan thinking OFF" grumbles the cook. "He
never had TO work over stove or he would
nave known how it ought to have been fixed ;"
Hang such collar brtton!" growls the
man who is late for breakfast. III 1 were In
the business I'd make buttons that would mt
slip out, or break Off, or gouge out the back
of my neck"
And then the various sufferers forgot about
their grievar es and begin to think of some
thing else. If they would sit down at the
next convenient opportunity, put their ideas
about car windows, saucepans, and collar
buttons into practical shape, and then apply
for patents, they might find themselves asIn-
dependently wealthy as the man who invent
ed the iron umbrella ring or the one who

Pathetic Scenes.

RENO, New, Nov. 5.-One of the worst
railroad wrecks that ever happened on
this division of the Central Pacific oc-
Cured at 80 o'clock this morning be-
tween freight trains Nos. 10, westbound,
and z, eastD0und, about mile west of
Saliva, a small station eighteen miles east
OF Reno, resulting in the death of Fred
Leach, a brakeman on the westbound
train; Charlie Glvens. fireman on the same
train, and four tramps not yet identified.
and injuring three others, namely. James
Bird. engineer of No. Z. left leg broken at
the ankle very badly; Tom Morsehead, his
fireman, cut about the head. and tramp
named William E. VOs, who says he is
from Chicago and has wife living there.
Vos has a very severe scalp wound and
it is feared his brain is injured and his re-
covery is doubtful.
The two trains came together in cut on
sharp turn. gong at full speed. The en-
gine pulling number 10 mounted the one
going east, SO they nearly changed posi-
tiOns. Fourteen or fifteen freigbtcars
were smashed to kindling-wood and tel
escoped in such a way that they looked
like Kansas town struck by cyclone Of
the greatest magn itude.
Brakeman Leach was on the engine Of
his train, and was caught between the
boiler-head and tank ana both legs crushed
to pulp. being caught in such way as to
make it impossible to get him out. He
lived two hours after the collision, was
perfectly conscious all the time, and
begged his companions to kill him and end
his suffering.
After his death it was found necessary
to cut off his legs close to the body in
order to extract him from the wreck.
The tramps killed were in a boxcar close
to the front end of train 10, travelling west.
The cause of the accident was a mis-
understanding of orders. and it will take an
official inquest to fix the blame where 1t
belongs.
Superintendent Whited was promptly
on the scene with wreeking crews and
train from Wadsworth ana Truckee, and
thinks he will have the track clear by mid
night tonight No. g. the sastbound
passenger train of this morning, is delayed
at Reno. and the westbound trains are at
Wadsworth awaiting the clearing of the
track.
The bodies of the four tramps were
brought to Reno tonight and the inquest
will be held Tomorrow. The body of
Leach was taken to Truckee.
Engineer Bird will be taken to the COM
pany's hospital in Sacramento as soon as
the road is cleared. Vos, the injured
tramp, will be brought to the County Hos
pita) at Reno If he lives.
The company sent Drs. Thoma and
Bergstein of Reno and Dr. Harmony OF
Wadsworth to the scene as soon as pos
sible and used every means at its command
to care for the dead and injured.

AN URGENCY MEASURE.
The Treasury Needs Relief and Con-
rress Must Give Ii.

WASHINGTON, Nov. Sit Is possible
that the first thing the Ways and Means
Committee will be called upon to do when
Congress reassembles will be to put
through some urgency measure for the
treasury.
This may be done by increasing the In
ternal Revenue taxes. for the time being
by an issue of bonds, or by issuing
Treasury warrants. Between $4,000. 900
and $50. 100000 of United States bonds are
falling due, and it has been suggested that
these bonds be paid by Treasury warrants.
The warrants would have to be author
lied by Congress. and although called war
rants. would simply be another name for
greenb backs, and the warrants would be
redeemable in gold.
The advisability has been discussed of
authorizing the payment OF bonds in these
warrants, thus putting more money in
circulation and at the same time relieving
the situation in the treasury to consider
able extent.
Another subject discussed by some men,
bers of the committee is the proposition to
authorize the issue of certain amount of
greenbacks to supply the deficiency in the
revenue which tariff reductions will make.
