Freight Car and Contents Entirely
Consumed at Bingham.

AT 1880 yesterday morning a Rio
Grande Western freight car full of
merchandise at Bingham caught fire in
some unknown way and was totally de-
stroyed- 1t is supposed that the fire
was caused by some acid that formed
part of the contents. AS soon as the
fire was noticed the car was broken
open and efforts were made to save il.
but in vain. The loss is placed at
somewhere between $1,000 and s., 1000.

Properties of the Diamond.

1.-THE one property of the diamond,
however, which makes it easy of deter
mination. is its extraordinary hardness
greater than that of any other min
eral. Hardness should always be care
fully distinguished from toughness.
Many persons have supposed that be-
cause the diamond is hard it cannot
be broken on an anvil, but the truth is
that diamonds are very brittle and are
shattered by only a moderate blow.
THE dissemination of information
regarding the lake diamonds through
the region of the moraine should
serve the twofold purpose of encour-
aging search for the buried stones and
of discovering diamonds in the little col
lections of lucky stones and local Gu
rios which accumulate on the clock
shelves of country farmhouses. When
it is considered that three of the largest
diamonds thus far found in the region
for periods of seven, eight and
fifteen years, respectively, in the hands
of the farming population, it can hardly
be doubted that many other diamonds
have been found and preserved as To-
cal curiosities, without their real ma
ture being discovered"

Circuit Judge Simonton has granted the
petition of the Corporation Commission

The date fixed for the rehearing is Dec.

The rehearing was asked on the ground
that the recent decision Of the State Su-
