A Member of an Eastern Excursion
Party Goes Insane.
Thomas Railsback, young man about
25 years of age, who resides at Palo, Lynn
County. Iowa, was a member of the
Phillips excursion party which arrived
in this city yesterday morning.
He was going to Pasadena, and on Sun
day the manager of the excursion noticed
that he commenced to talk incoherently
at times and kept watch on him during
the evening. About midnight, when the
train was about five miles east of Colfax,
however, he told the manager that he was
going to the closet but stepped out on the
platform instead.
The manager followed him as quickly
as possible, and just arrived in time IC
grasp him by the collar of the coat, but
before he could secure a good hold the
unfortunate man sprang out into space
in the darkness. The train was going
round curve, where there was high
embankment, and the conductor was
notified and quickly stopped the train,
which was backed up to the spot and all
hands searched for traces of him.
The place where he struck the ground
and slid down the embankment was
found, but although all hands searched
for an hour no further traces of him were
discovered.
The train came down to Colfax, where
Constable Dyer with local officers started
in search of Railsback, and at last ac-
counts were still searching.

STATE MINERAL CABINET.

The Trustees Fiji Certain Gaps in It
Mineralogical Series Enlarged.
The Trustees of the State mineral cabi-
net in the art gallery in this city, in the
last two years, in studying and arranging
the specimens in the case, found that GER
tain examples to complete the chain of
representative minerals were not in the
cabinets. They resolved to supply these,
deeming it proper part of the expense
of maintenance and perfection.
They have partly succeeded in this
by receipt of several specimens from a
Massachusetts, collection. The new ex-
amples have been placed on view in the
new octagonal case in the lecture-room.
In the same case the fac SlneiLe of the
Chilcat meteorite has been placed, to-
gether with remarkably brilliant group
of amethyst crystals in a geode, and a
geode filled with the colloid form of
quartz. The collection will repay inspec-
ton.
The new specimens from the Massa-
chusettS collection, and which enlarge
the series of the California State cabinet,
were thus described by the Secretary, DR..
Pyburn, to our reporter yesterday:
A magnificent crystal of stibnite (sul-
phuret of antimony) from Mount Ko-
sauy. Japan; alongside lies a lump of
metallic ant1mOny.

Ion; beautiful crystalline specimen of
selenum sulphur from Sicily.
