phant. Mrs. Catherine Walsh the COM
plainant, now asks to have the sheriff
enjoined from delivering the land in
dispute to the sheriff's sale purchaser
p. +. Mcdonald and Mcdonald from

ceeding was made necessary by the
fact that the justice had given judS-
ment against Mrs. Walsh before the

in the case will take place Saturday
morning at o'clock.
POOR BOARD MATTER.

the granting of the rule, charging tina t

ing it.

a class that can never appre-

government.

The Richmond Dispatch
condemns the "land grab
Der" law, while The Times
defends it. We rather think
the former of our esteemed
contemporaries represents
the sentiments of the people
of the State in nine out of
ten cases. Any law that is
oppressive TO the poor is n
bad law and ought to be re
pealed. However, we do not
condemn those people who
have taken advantage of the
law and are purchasing the
delinquent lands of the Com

NANTUcKET's ONE RAILROAD.


The annual report OF the Nantucket
Central railroad has just been made pub
lie. During the season 24O round trips
were made. and on only one OF these did
a passenger refuse TO pay his fare. This
difficulty, however, was easily remedied
as the conductor, after arguing with the
passenger half way the distance between
Nantucket and siasconset. promptly
stopped the train and ran back 10 Nam
mcket where ne was elected. with possi-
bly, unnecessary force. The schedule Of
employees shows that the proprietor Is the
sole possessor OF the solitary pass issued
and that the other officials. including the
conductor. who also acts as general man

engineer. who is master mechanic chief
OF transportation and overseer OF the
roadbed, and the fireman, who drives the
express wagon between trips, keeps the
time books and distributes ice all have TO
pay their fare each time the train runs.
The round trip tickets for the distance Of
sixteen miles are 80 cents for the passen-
ger and 80 cents for his trunk. In case he
has two trunks a rate IS given OF 30 cents
for the second trunk. and should he pos.
sess three. the third IS carried Just for .

been started by an open CRATE. The

sponded to the call for help, but ar
rived too late TO save the property.
The Morton Fire Company also made

A DESERTED CITY.
Tale of the Dissolution OF one OF the
strnngest Towns on This
Continent.

In Nevada county, Cal, repose the
remains of one of the strangest towns
on this continent. Meadow Lake is the
American Pompeii, whose entombing
lava is the summit snow storms, which
sometimes bury It 25 feet deep on
level, and whose annual exhuming is
brought about by the summer sun, says
the New York Herald
1t was in the summer of 1865 that the
name Meadow Lake was formally given
TO the town, previously called Excel
sior and Summit City. Until 1858 moth
ing had been done in the way Of pros
pecting that particular locality.
Henry Hartly, an Englishman, who
visited the vicinity in June, 1868, in
search Of game and chanced to discover
fragments of gold, impaired his discov-
cry to his friends. A company was
formed and soon after other companies
and the building of a city was started.
With the close of the fall of 1865
the new city contained about $50
houses completed and a number of 9TH
ers in course of construction. Then all
lupus MtA1 nA4oAiQs AAN hANNAAAANAa =
awobe to the sad reality that, though
there was plenty of gold in Meadow
Lake, IL was so combined with some
substance unknown to the metallur-
gists that it was effectually locked
from the hand Of man.
All dreams, the black art, science
and metallurgy were set at naught-
One after another, rs they abandoned
hope, the disappointed gold seekers
turned their backs on Meadow Lake
and went down the mountain.
More than s2,OO0,0O0 had been poured
into that bottomless abyss of California
known as dead work" TO pay for mills
roads, buildings and mining.
For years the solitary inhabitant Of
Meadow Lake was Hartly, the English
man who was mainly responsible foi
the existence of the town.
