EDITOR HERALD: The lumber for
building a bridge over the zanja on
the corner of Eleventh and Olive
streets was unloaded at that place over
three months ago, and the neighbors
were glad that they would at last get
thoroughfare to Main street; but
nothing was done, add the lumber is
lying around in the zanja and street.
No doubt, in the heat of the election,
it was forgotten. Would those whose
business it is look after it, and crafty

UNDER THE CAR WHEELs.-A thrill
ing scene was enacted yesterday at the
Mort Homestead tunnel, Gold Hill, as an
ore train was passing down, on its way
to the Carson river. The train, drawn
by the locomotive "Tahoe," AL. Yeo-
man, conductor, and Johnny Elkins, en-
gineer, left Virginia at 1880, and was just
passing out at the lower end of the tunnel
when the engineer was Mortified at seeing
a small child upon the track, not more
than thirty or forty feet ahead of his en-
gine. He instantly whstled "down
brakes" Fortunately the conductor and
brakeman happened to be back at proper
points on the train, and both put on brakes
with will, knowing from the wild snort
of the whistle something unusual was the
matter. At the moment of whistling,
the engineer reversed his engine and let
on all steam. 1t seems that the mother
had heard the train coming, and missing
her child, ran to the railroad to see if it
had strayed thither. She came in sight
of the child Just as the whistle sounded
the engine was reversed, and rushed for
ward to snatch it from the track. The
engine still came laundering on, and was
SO near the child that it seemed certain
that the ponderous wheels would crush
the infant before she could reach it. Ut
tering wild cry, the mother fell to the
ground in Il swoon when within less than
ten feet of her child. This accident to
the mother sent pang through the heart
of the engineer, as he had hoped that she
would reach and rescue the child. All
had been done that could be done to stop
the train, yet ii still moved forward. But
to the Joy of all, steam and brakes pre-
vailed and the train stopped when the
locomotive was within three feet of the
unconscious little "crawler." BY this
time dozen women came running to the
train, and when they took in the situation
they shrieked and cried rnd hugged each

CHEER HIM.-At n fire in large city.
while the upper stories OF lofty dwelling
was wrapped in smoke, and the lower
stories all aglow with flames, piercing
shrek told the startled fair one that there
was some one still in the building iE per-
il. A ladder was quickly reared until it
touched the heated walls, and diving thro'
the flames and smoke young fireman
rushed up tho rounds on his errand Of
mercy. St1ed by the smoke he stopped,
and seemed about 10 descend. The crowd
was in agony, as life seemed lost, for
every moment OF hesitation seemed an
ago. While this shivering fear seized
every beholdcr, voice from the crowd
cried out "Cheor him !" and a wild
"hurrah" burst from the excited specta-
tors. AS the cheer reached the fireman
he started upward through the curling
smoke, and in few minutes was seen
coming down the ladder with child in
his arms. That cheer did the work.

The young man, who had always man
