Mr. Ocirichs was ct the depot awaiting the train, which was reported twenty-three minutes late at Poughkeepsie. Five minutes of this time was mude up before reaching this city, making the actual time of the trip, after counting the difference of time between the two cities, four days, twelve hours and twonty-cight minutes. beats the record of Hermen Oclrichs, who in Auguat last made the trip in four duys, sixteen hours and ten minutes. ‘The party left San Francisco at 7 o'clock on Wednesday on the Southern Pacific mixed trai arriving at Green River, Wyo., in timo to cut the fast train from Portland, Ore.

At Cheyenne, on tho Union Pacific,they were 1 hour and 25 minutes late, but made up the time before reaching Council Dluffs.

It Was Predicted by a Blind Girl in St, Louis. Sr. Lovis, Sept. 28.—The earthquake here Saturday night was predicted by a young woman—Miss Jennie, the blind daughter of Councilman John A. Sloan. Miss Sloan can only discern the difference between light and darkness. Last Thursday she looked up at the sun and remarked: “There will be an earth- quake soon.” Again Saturday she declared that an earth- quake would doubtless occur that night. When her prediction was verified by actual events she looked upon it as a matter of course. She could give no reason for her prediction except that the weather and the appearance of the sun impressed her with the belief that an carth- quake would soon occur. Crxcixxamt, Sept. 28.—The earthquake of Saturday night was felt here by not more than twenty people, and from the best accounts it lasted about four seconds. The only excite- ment in the whole city was in the St. Paul Hotel, at 3d and Broadway, where it is said the boarders were frightened.

He has p numbered stakes showing the depth of water at all tides along the edge of the fill and midway toward shore others are ready to be placed wherever they can be of service to bathers and onlookers. He adds that a permanent closing of the beach at present would bea great bar to any fature legislation by Congress favorable to ex- tending {urther faciliticn for a bathing beach, It cannot be shown that any drowning has taken place because of any defect in the beach. The bodies of the two boys who could swim Were both found in deep water, far out from the edge of the grade. Boys bathed all along that side of the basin up to the channel leading to the inner basin, and tho beach cannot be reasonably held re sponsible for these drownings, two of which took place before it was open and when there were no keepers. No one who has ever used the beach or desires to use ithas made any complaint about it, and there isa great demand for reopening it. He recommenced that the beach be reopened for the uso of bathersat their own risk and that all under a certain age shall be refused such | use unless accompanied by a person who will assume the responsibility for them.

Morris, called upon the Commissioners this morning and urged that 8th street be im- proved from C street to Water street. This street, they urged, was considerably traveled and it was public necessity to pave it its entire length. The Commissioners stated that as yet the schedule recommended by Captain Kossell had not been considered. ol. Robert asked if the delegation knew of any other street in the southwest which had been recommended that in their judgment was | Jess in importance than Sth street. Some one suggested that Mth street was al- feady paved and it was unnecessary to. put down another pavement. Capt. Rosell, how- ever, called attention to the fact that this was a | through street to the Long bridge and ite pav- | ing was necessary. He said, however, that if the Commissioners desired to comply with the request they could | cutout the recommendation concerning Del aware avenue from G to K, for which au ay Propriation of §11,540 was asked. ‘The matter will be discussed by the board when the esti- mates are taken up. oe en DISTRICT GOVERNMENT, TRIAL BOARD FINDINGS APPROVED.
