Superintendent Palmer of the Sacra-
mento division has shortened the time in
which late passenger trains may make
the run between Truckee and Wads-
worth, says the Dispatch. Where here
tofore passenger trains were not allowed
to make the run between these points in
less than two hours and thirteen mir
utes, the time now allowed has been
shortened to ore hour and forty-ive
minutes. Pretty good for a mountain
division.

A PRACTICAL MAN ON TRIB.

The following is from the Virginia
Enterprise.
No veterinarian on the Pacific Coast
has had a longer experience, nor has
ar y man had a more successful prac-
tice with horses, than has DIR, Burns
Of this city. He makes the following
statement:
A valuable mare driven by Super
intendent Lyman, of the Con. Virginia
Mine on the Comstock Lode, had been
in the stable, unable to work from
the kick OF another animal, received
on the inside of the right fore leg above
the knee. The skin had beer broken
aud the muscles and tendons severely
bruised. During a weeks time l had
given the limb such treatment as,
from thirty years professional exper-
fence, | thought beneficial; but with.
ont avail The leg was swollen to
nearly twice its natural size, and the
swelling would not yield to treatment.
On Thursday evening, June Is, 1895,
| made the first application OF the
liniment Trib, thoroughly rubbing in
half Of "A six-ounce bottle over the
whole leg. / applied it regularly
twice a day for the next three days.
On the fourth day the mare went TO
work, completely cured-the most SUI
prising and satisfactory cure coming
under my observation during a life
time devoted to the treatment Of
horses.
That vas several years ago. have
since then used this liniment regularly
in my practice. 1rib fulfi. Is all its
promises.
An especially valuable feature Of
Trib is that, while it has all the pene-
trating strength of the most powerful
liniments, it does not blister.
For love of the horse, and the fell
lowehip OF horsemen, l offer this ties.
timony. | know that Trib will bene-
tit both.

Eprorth Leaguers, specials.

Tuesday presented a lively day in town
while the Epworth Leaguers passed
through. The first of the specials run
ming under the "block system passed
through Monday evening and since that
time about forty trainloads of the excur-
s~ionists have passed through. The peo-
pie seem to be a very quiet and pious lot
and did notseem to be much on the eat
or drink. Lunch stands we're stationed
on each side of the track and were poor
ly ~patronized. Each train remained here
for upwards of ten minutes. A large
number of the excursionists had great
fun in taking the beautiful and smiling
counteuances of the Indians, providing
they were lucky enough to catch them
on the fly. Two old dusky maidens who
have seen many Winters, were at all the
trains and many of the kodak fiends en-
deavored to get a snap shot Of them, but
tue old women were too smart for the
Fasteners, and would, sometimes, after
receiving a nickel or dime. take to the
brush and await the arrival of the next
train.

A Narrow Escane

Monday morning, before dayligh,
our efficient and pushing gas superin-
tendent, Mr.. Manly, was out among
the wells and was looking over the
plant generally to see if everything
was in shape to meet the extra de-
mands caused by the excessive cold.
He had made his rounds and came
to the regulator on Main street. Con
Guiding that we did not have quite
enough pressure for the extreme cold
weather he jerked the cap off of the
manhole and Immediately climbed
down into the pit. He had hardly
touched bottom when he realized that
the pit was full of gas. He made one
effort to get out but simply fell for
ward on his knees. unconscious. He
tried to call for help before conscious.
ness entirely left him but could only
make gurgllng noise in his throat.
BY the merest chance Mr.. Guthrie.
the restaurant man, happened along
just at that time and seeing the hole
open and hearing a gurgline noise.
he Investigated and found Mr. Manlev
limp and lifeless. Being unable To
get him out alone he got helm and
soon Mr.. Manley was breathing the
fresh crisp air OF winter and in short
time was all right. He will be very
careful after this how he pokes his
nose In holes where there is liable To
be gas.
1t was truly very narrow escape
Tor Mr.. Manley. Had he not received
help he would have been beyond all
help In very few minutes.

SEVERE LOSS.

Monday mOrnlng. slightly before &
o'clock. fire was d severed IN the gar
ret and cnpOIa Of The Third ward
school building.
The alarm was given and the fire
boys were promptly on the ground
with their apparatus, hut having no
water pressure they could not reach
the fire IN the roof and so had to de
vote themselves to saving as much of
the lower story rs possible. In the
Singing cold Of the early morning it
was prct y tough proposition for the
boys to stand in the snow and wintry
blasts and walt for water. That was
all they could do, till the fire was
under such Roadway that there was
no possible chance to save the build
ing.
IL seems the telephone hell at the
power house Is not strong enough to
be heard unless the man in charge is
right by 1t. The call for fire pressure
was frequently made but not heard,
and the boys had only tn , ordinary
pressure. Who rs to blame?
This building was the BEST ward
building in the city, being large five
room brick. IL was entirely DESTROY
ed. The walls stand but cannot be
safely used, Some of the material,
however, can be used in new build
