WHICH the 1bc!uC 1OHuS, the DS9Ver x Rio Grande and other roads have en- countered. The Utah Southern will connect with it from San Francisco, and the Denver & Rio Grsnde Southern from Nary vile, Utah. The llne from Durango, Colorado. will be extended to connect at Cedar City. No line ever opened on the continent will have such local mining traffic. From Cedar City to Yuma, on both sides of the Col orado, is one perfect network of mines of gold, silver, lead, manganese, onyx, marble, some copper, tin, zinc: great bodies of Iron, and the finest limestones on the coast. These mineral belts ex> lend back from the river for 9 miles. With cheap fuel, the hundreds of small valleys, and the scores of fine mesas. will all be converted into fine farms and orchards. With cheap coal, water can even now be pumped for irrigating these, which in time will supply the mines with hay, grain and vegetables, and all of that vast region, now compar- atively desert waste, will be converted into rich and productive portion of the coast Tn minerals, manufactures and other products. Look at what the new north and south railroad from PhoenIx is doing for central Arizona. Great mines idle for years are now producers Of the precious metals. Towns are be- ing built, valleys settled and a country developed which had been of no Value before the road was opened.
 Open this line from Cedar City to San Diego, which will be the shortest to secure to Salt Lake and to all points ID Colorado, Utah, Wyoming and Mon- tana, and a new competing route to the east over the most picturesque road in the west, and you will see the vast min- eral resources of the country lying along the Colorado opened up and developed, the valleys settled, manufacturing in- dustrles established as the result of the one thing, cheap fuel. What it will not do for Arizona, the answer, and the line from Yuma to San Diego, leave for next week CITIZEN. SAN DIEGO, April 29, 1895.

THE DIvIsIBILITY OF TIME.
Calculations That Arc Entirely Beyond
Our Faintcst Couce DtjOn,


Our Faintcst Conception.
Napoleon. who knew the value OF time
remarked that 1t was the quarter hours
that won battles, says Good Words The
value of minutes has often been recog-
nized and anyone watching railway clerk
handing out tickets and change during the
last few minutes available must have
been struck with how much could be done
in those short portions Of time.
At the appointed hour the train starts
and by and by Is carrying passengers at
the rate Of sixty miles an hour In a Sec
ond you are carried twenty-nine yards
In onetwenty-ninth Of a second you pass
over one yard. Now, one yard Is quite an
appreciable distance. but one-twent ty- ninth
OF a second Is a period which cannot be
appreciated.
Yet It Is when we come to planetary and
stellar motions that the notion Of the In
finite divisibihty of time dawns upon us in
a new light. 1t would seem that no por-
tion of time, however microscopic, is un-
available. Nature can perform prodigies,
not certainly in less than no time. but In
portions Of 1T 30 minute as to be alto
gether inconceivable.
The earth revolves on her axis In twen-
ty-four hours. At the equator her cir
conference is 5000 miles. Hence, in that
part OF the earth person Is being carried
eastward at the rate Of 600 yards per Sec
ond. That is, he is moving over a yard
whose length is conceivable in tho period
OF hundredth-and-ninth part of q
second. of which we can have no concep.
tion at all.
But. more. tho orbital motion Of the
earth around the sun causes the former
to perform revolution Of nearly 600, ,0OO 900
miles in year, or somewhat less than
10000 miles an hour, which IL more than
LOCO miles minute. Here, then. our SEQ
ond carries us the long distance Of about
nineteen miles. The mighty ball thus fiies
about q mile in the nineteenth part Of .
second.

Railroad Station Robbie d,

Some time Monday night burglars
broke into the staion of the Jersey
Central railroad at Mill Creek and stole
quantity of goods, an express pack
ages and several other articles. They
gained entrance by prying up the win
dow. After ransacking the office they
went into the freight room, where they
broke open cases containing shoes and
dry goods consigned to p. Judge G. Son,
and f. Freeman, of Mill Creek, and
stole a small express package consigned
to J. VI. Stark, of Mill Greed. They put
the articles into a bean sack and left
by way of back doors Of the freight
house. When the station agent and
operator. r. J. Rowan and Joseph Shee-
han, arrived yesterday morning they
found the goods scattered about in con-
fusion and Immediately notified the
main office by wire. The company i'm
mediately notified their chief of detec-
tives on from Easton to take the case.

PLYMOUTH.

Twelve years ago this morning the
steamer Susquelhanna blew up near the
landing at Wilkes-Barre and several
people sustained serious injuries. Max
Reese. our popular young shoe mer-
chant. relates story In connection
with the affair which goes to prove one
Of the hairbreadth escapes in which he
has SO narrowly escaped a flight into
the heavenly sphere. On Monday,
twelve years ago, trade dollars were
put down to a value Of IS cents. and on
the succeeding day the Wyoming Ma
tional bank, Of Wilkes-Barre, decided
to take all their deposltors possessed at
par value. and A. Reese, who then con-
Quoted the store. dispatched Max with
a bag containing 165 trade dollars in Or
der that no loss would be sustained by
the firm. The rush at the bank was so
great that the younger Reese could not
catch the last boat and consequently
he telephoned his brother that 1t would
be impossible to return that night. On
the morning of July he arose
later than he expected and reached the
bank Just in time to see the boat pull

MRS. EHRET'S CASE.
The Woman Becomes Mixed When
Attempting to Identify Her Man.


II will be remembered that some
days ago man named Zeigler was
charged by Mrs. Charles Ehret, of New
town. with an attempt at criminal as
sault.
Yesterday morning James McCaffrey
and John Lyden were given hearing
before the mayor on the same charge.
1t seems that Mrs. Ehret has changed
her mind as TO the identity of the man.
and now accused McCaffrey in place Of
Zeigler. McCaffrey employed John Nc
Gahren. esq, to defend him. In her
testimony this morning Mrs. Ehret was
corsidera bly, mixed, and whenever she
discovered that her statements conflict
ed with some previous assertion she in
variably attempted to correct herself
by saying hes the man, all right" yet
it was evident she could give no reason
for believing so. Her husband, Charles
Ehret. had been locked out and swore
that when the entry was made he was
sitting under the porch, ard acknowl-
edged that he was pretty full. McCaf-
frey is badly crippled with rheumatism
and he does not look like a man who
could climb twelve feet and enter a
house through a window. Lyden was
discharged and McCaffrey held for
court
