Edgar Leach.

Edgar Leach, the brakeman who met
such a terrible death at the wreck, vas
a resident OF Truckee. His parents,
two grown brothers and q sister IL
years old, also live here. d. w. Leach,
father OF the deceased, went to the scene
OF the wreck Sunday and brought the
mangled remains ofGhis son home that
evening. The unfortunate young man
was a member of Bonner Parlor, No.
1872, N. s. Il. W., of Truckee. and had
just lately joined the B. of r. 7. He was
a young man Of exemplary habits, and
to know him was to love and respect
him for his many good traits aid kihd'
ness of heart. His awful death has cast
a COON over the entire town, as we'll as
among his fellow-employes along the
line Of the railroad. Being the noble
son and kind brother hat he was, has
made his death almost uncomfortable to
the family. They have the sympathy
of the entire community in their sad
bereavement.
Edgar was born at Boca in February,
1872, which made him q years and nine
months old at the time of death. The
funeral took place from the Methodist
church Tuesday afternoon at 2 O'Clock,
and it was one of the saddest funerals
which has taken place in Truckee for a
long time. The floral pieces which
bedecked the coffin were many and
beautiful.

the handsome residence Of Mr.. Cal
Maxon OF the Baltimore and Ohio South
western. The contracting parties were
Miss Anna M. Bowers, a sister OF Mrs.
Maxon and Mr.. q. A. Macpherson,

affair throughout, but only twenty-six
guests were present, including intimate
friends and relatives. The. house was
beautifully decorated with ported plants
and cut flowers, and was, a veritable
bower of beauty. At Z 80 O'Clock, the
hour set for the ceremony the bride to
be and her intended entered the front
parlor and midst a hush OF expectancy
took their places before Rev. r. G.
Galbraith who with prayer book in hand
awaited their coming. Upon entering
the room the happy pair were proceeded
by Nellie Cunning and Leila Maxon two
maids of honor tastefully dressed in
white and carrying bouquets OF rosebuds.
These little ladies were also proceeded by
Norman Cunning a little page who
also carried a bunch Of beautiful flowers.
When these little people arrived in front
OF Rev. Galbraith they stepped to one
side and allowed the couple to pass be-
tween them.
Then came the marriage ceremony and
in a few brief words two were made one.
At the end, hearty congratulations fol-
lowed and then the company were in
vited into the dining room, where a
magnificent wedding supper was spread.
When this was finisehd, the company

andlooked radiantly lovely in a toilet of
white silk trimmed with Duchessslafe.

THE ooRoNER's INQUEST.
The Jury Learns the Cause of Last Sun
davis Collision.

days Collision.
A Coroner's jury made up of s. Jacobs,
j. V. Peers, 2. II. Mulachy, Dusan
Church, Dan O'Connor and s. II. Car
penter met to-day to inquire into the
cause of he collision between freight
trains Nos. 7 and 10 last Sunday MORN
ing.
J. H, Whited, the division superinten-
dent, testified that under the working of
the present time card trains 7 and 10
should have passed at Wadsworth, but
number Z being late, reached Clark's at
the time she should have been in Wads-
worth, where number 10 arrived on time,
and in consequence OF which train dis
patcher Molten sent orders to number z
to meet number 10 at Saliva. 1t is the
rule for a train dispatcher sending orders
to have them repeated back to him so
as to make sure that the receiving oper-
ator got the the order exactly as tent.
In this case, when Molten sent the
order to Clark's for number 7 to pass
number 10 at Saliva, Conductor Rocky
was anx .ously waiting for his orders to
leave Wadsworth, and as the operator at
Clark's was slow in repeating back to
Wadsworth the order she had received
for No. Z, Molten did not take each word
as it came, but, thinking he knew what
he had q few moments before sent,
hurriedly wrote it out ahead OF its re-
ceipt back over the wire and handed it to
the waiting conductor, who Immediately
boarded his train and pulled out. At
about 8 O'Clock, when the trains was
due at Wadsworth, and Clarks, Molten,
wandering what the cause of the delay
was, examined the orders he had sent
and was Mortified to find on the order
given No. 10 he had written the word
'tClark's'' instead of ,"Salvia," which
mistake would OF course necessitate
their meeting between Clark's and Sal
via. Molten then rushed to S%uperinten-
dent Whited and told him OF his error.
Mr.. Whited Immediately ordered the
wrecking trains at Wadsworth and
Truckee, together with the doctors, to
be in readiness to respond to the call,
which came about thirty minutes later,
informing him of the horrible collision.
The verdict returned by the jury was
that the collision was caused by train
dispatcher William Molten giving wrong
orders.

WEAVER AT WORK.

Mt. Gretna, Pa, Aug. 23.-The largest
crowds since the opening Of the national
encampment of the Farmers alliance as
sembled today. In the main auditorium
Wm Benninger advocated the free coin
age of silver in the Pennsylvania Dutch
language He was followed by j. M.
Thompson, late lecturer of the Pennsyl-
vania Farmers alliance, When Gen.
Weaver arose to deliver his address this
afternoon there were probably 10000
people on the grounds. He said the sit
uation of today was not caused by the
election Of a democratic administration;
that the administration is still enforcing
republican laws and Interpreting the
laws the same as did Harrison. Such a
condition could not be brought upon the
country by mere change of adminlstra-
tion, nor is it the result of the Sherman
law. The laws have been violated. The
republican secretary of the treasury and
the democratic secretary of the treasury
did not comply with the law. They
have paid out gold and the secretary Of
the treasury aided foreign conspirators
when he had it in his hands to prevent
this panic. This is the real cause of
these hard times. At the close OF the
late war the people were comparatively
free from debt. There was more prosper
ity then among the farmers of the north
in spite Of the loss of those near and dear
to them, than there has been ever since.
The reason of this prosperity and good
feeling was because there was an immen.
Sc volume of paper currency in circula-
ton. The financial system which con.
tracted this currency is responsible for
the loss Of thousands of homes, innumer-
able suicides and the corruption OF the
morals of the people. AS result CT that
crime perpetrated on our people from lSG6
to 1878 British capital has come in and
got control of our factories, railroads and
finances. A scarcity Of money is what is
the matter When the farmers come in
to power, and they are going to come in
to power, they will give us more money.
The farmers will make dollar that will
stay at home They don't want money
that will go abroad. That is what is the
matter with gold.
In reply to the question. "What would
you advise the prohibitionists as u people
to do?" the speaker said, GO and vote
the peoples party ticket. The financial
question will come in first for attention,
as did slavery; afterwards the liquor evil
can be corrected"

Dismal Prospect. for Great Britain.

London, Aug. 27.-The Times, in the
course Of a long leader on the dismal agri-
cultural prospects OF Great Britain. says
foreign competition depresses the price OF
cattle and corn. The imports of animals
and meat. it says, will swamp the markets
this year. Great Britain will be more
than ever dependent on foreign supplies
and will require at least %, 600, 600 quart
ers Of wheat from abroad. France must
i'm port more than twice as much as she
usually does. Germany has already be-
gun to draw on the American markets
for supplies. When the nations thus bid
against each other. the article says. there
is fair chance that the price will advance.

~ The stand taken by Congressman
Pickler and Lucas, Of this state, on the
free coinage issue. before the house on
Monday is at least ell couraglng to western
people. They said by their votes that re-
publican party leaders and British tories
could not force them to vote against the
interests Of the people. The battle Is on
and the issue is forced by the east. The
west and south accept battle on the sec.
,ional issue, forced upon them by a united
neutrality-suspicious. party of the east
ern states. The great west and south
will teach those eastern traitors Il lesson
that will be lasting.

struck the traveller with awe. nor was II

He presented many excellent views of the

He paid a tribute to NJ. de Lesseps and
said that in view of the great work which
he had done humanity by saving steamers
forty miles in every hundred between LIN
don and Bombay, the recent shade that had
been cast upon his name in connection with
Panama should be overlooked. The idea OF
the Suez canal had not been original With

Assistant Chief Clerk Hooe Of the Depart
ment of Agriculture was bitten Friday by
his mastiff, Nero. He was feeding the dog,
and the taste Of the animal did not seem
to discriminate between beef and man meat.
Although the wound is not a serious one,
and Nero has evinced no desire to run
amuck, Mr. Hooe is rather disturbed over
the event. The incision was cautertzed.
Nero is one of the handsomest dogs In
Washington, and heretofore has been re-
garued as Of irreproachable character.r He
is an exceedingly well-bred mastin and this
Is his first lapse in polireness. OF late he
has been developing cynical disposition
and showing his teeth at the condition OF
society," but this was his initial open revolt.
1t is also suggested that he became CON-
scious that he should be worthy of his
great name. Mr.. Hooe, with that remark
able generosity peculiar to our race, made a
gift of the dog to one of his best friends.
Nero has been muzzled and VIII be sent
either to the country or the pound. with IN
dications in favor OF the latter. .r~z
