Peculiar Throat Disease.

The throat disease diph-
liberia, which has been raging in Paradise
and been the cause of several deaths in
the valley, is prevalent in Battle Noun
tain. Numerous children and several
adults of that place are affected with the
disease.
Physicians who are attending these
cases are experiencing considerable diff
fculty in diagnosing them. Some symp-
toms are those of diphtheria while at
other stages of the disease the symptoms
are those of anything but d%iphtheria.
The State Board of Health has request
ed that portions of the diseased tissues be
forwarded to their pathologist in San
Francisco, for examination. The report
of his examination will decide whether
the disease is diphtheria or not.

A SERIOUS WRECK.
nead.on Collision Of Freight Trains In Snow.
sheds Results DisastrOusly.

A serious head-on collision between
freight trains occurred about 9 O'Clock
Thursday on the Central Pacific railroad
at a point five miles east of Summit. The
collision took place in a snowshed be-
tween train No. I'll, westbound, and train
No. 214, eastbound. The trains should
nave met and passed at tunnel 13, but
instead they came together half way be-
tween that place and Lakeview station.
When the trains crashed together a long
section of snowsheds was torn down, the
heavy timbers falling upon the engines
and cars and helping to demolish them.
Both engines were badly damaged.
Engineer c. M. Duggan, of train 211,
received a scalp wound three inches long,
a laceration of the left ear and bruises
upon the body. His injuries are painful,
but not serious. His fireman, w. e. Vince
Ter, was badly scalded on the right leg,
severely bruised and lacerated. d. Nc
Cullough, a brakeman, had his left leg
scalded, right shoulder bruised. and re-
ceived a cut under the right eye. Engi-
bruised about the head and shoulders
His fireman, Arthur Carr. had one of his
knees bruised. A tramp named s. c.
Careli, was badly bruised about the head
and legs. The injured men were taken
to the railroad hospital at Sacramento.
The accident is supposed to have been
caused by a misunderstanding or orders.
The conductor of mo. 211 was on the
ground at tunnel 10, where some switch
ing had been done, and when he saw his
train moving up the track he supposed
it was going to run upon a siding to al
low the eastbound train to pass, but in
stead of taking the siding. the train kept
moving and finally the two engines crash
ed together.

who were not born and probably never

the latter, it may be said that Return
Day. had its origin previous to 1884,
when the county seat was removed
from Lewes to Georgetown.
Previous to that date. the people OF
the entire county voted at Iewes. and
the election held for two days. On the
third day, OF ON Thursday, the people
remained there to learn the result after
the vote had been canvassed.
Then, in 1894. Georgetown became
the county seat, being centrally To-
GATED and about sixteen miles from
every other town in the county.
Elections were held in the different
hundreds, but those were the days
when the telegraph, the telephone anC

Low nllIlnrda werc invented.

The English are very fond Of the
game of billiards, and a letter in the
British museum gives the origin of the
sport II was invented by a London
pawnbroker, whose name was William
Kew. Kew not only lent money, but
he sold cloth, and for the latter pur-
pose had a yard measure, with which
he used 10 compute the amounts. One
day to distract himself he took the
three round balls which are the en-
blcms Of his trade they may still be
seen in front Of certain shops In Lon
don-and. placing them on his counter,
began 10 hit them about with his yard
measure.
Ie found It made a pretty game. He
got kind Of skill in making one bail
glance or the other, ana his friends
who saw him thus employed called the
game Bnrs yard. It was soon short
oncd into billiards. But the yardsticlS
was the instrument with which the
balls We're knocked about, and difficult
ty arose as TO what to call IL. They
called it after the name Of the pawn
broker-a Kew. Paris Figaro
