[he coroner was sum- moned, but deferred the inquest until this morning. The remains wero removed to the un- detaking rooms of Fiold & Estep, where they were prepared for burial. It was as- certained that the decensed lived in Caicago, and his relatives were telegraphed of the sad oceurrence, Owing to the weak and critical condition of the victim, no attempt had been made to amputate either of the crusned limbs, and all that could be done was to try to alleviate his sufferings, ‘The clothing was not_removed until after deatn, owing to the dificulty ana danger of disturbing bim, und it was then found that the injuries were fur worse than was even supposed. The right leg was as badly crushed between the hip and knee as was tho left below the knee.

A mistake was made in stating that Thomas Brooks had been taken to Fort Madison to enter upon his life sentence, as the expectea trip was postponed, and Brooks is still an inmate of the county jail, where he was seen yesterday by a reporter. Ho was in excellent spirits, and talked very freely about various matters. He commented on the terrible racket of Friday night's jollifica- tion, and stated that he would liked to have taken part.

B Narrow Escape From an Awful Horror It in hardly probable that a more indignant lot of passengers ever were on & traia or had £ mOre DArrow escape than those on an east- bound motor train at the Northwestern crossiog last eveniog. The motor train stopped at the crossing as usual, and had to wait till an engine standing on the cross- ing pulled abead toward the round house, leaving the crossing clear, The conductor had gone ahead to seo that everytning was olear, and gave the signal to ‘‘come ahead.’” The motorman turned on the current, and the motor car was about half across the track when & Northwestern switchman, who stood near, sbouted ‘J.0ok out! there comes a train, 'The motor man looked up the track, and saw oomlni down upou him at a rapid rate, the incoming Chicago expre: due at the transfer at 6:10, Ho immediately reversed the motor and turned on the full current. The train rolled back as the North- woatern train shot by, S0 narrow was the escape that there was not room between the two trains for & man o have stood without being struck by the engine, It was by the merest chance that a terri- ble casually was averted, as there were sixty-one people on the motor train, the aisles ana platforms being crowded. The Boeno was a most exciting oue for a moment, and there wis a rush to escape from the im- pending danger. Onelady foll as st Jumped from the car, but was not seriously hurt. 8o great was the indigoation of tho passengers that one was about to give the conductor s sound thrashing for signaling them into such a death trap, bul was preveuted by a few others. It is stated by about twenty-five of the pas- sengers that the Northwestern train was running much faster thao it should have been, and its sveed, as it struck Broadway, is estimated by none of them at less th.n tweaty miles an hour, It is sincerely hoped that this hair breadth escapo will serve as a warning, and some means be devised to effectually prevent any thing like a repetition in the future. e — mxmlzmhmg sud steam beating, Mer- —— Or.

Since that time the petition has been amended, and another reason for ask- ing the petition has been added. The new cluim made is that the **1"* rail used by the company on the unpaved portion of the street 18 a_ nuisance und impedes travel, They also declare that the operation of tho line'is a nuisance, inasmuch as the noise, in- convenience and danger will be great. They also charge that tho company has failed to settlo with any of the property owners for damages. Massrs. Shes & Galvin appeared for the plaintifts, and J. N. Baldwin, Esq., for the company. 'The hearing of the case scupied the eutireday, and was taken under advisement by the court when finally sub- mitted. The court stuted that he would con- sult Judge Macy in regara to the matter, vir- tually refusing to take up auy of the latter's business for the purpose of grauting what he haa refused. The general belief is that the injunction will not be granted. The counsel for the plaintiffs requested that, in case tho injunc- tion was refused, an order would be made, regulating the manner in which the track should be laid. Cowmplaint was made that the track was left so much above ground as to be an obstruction, aud it is desired to have them lowered so that teams can cross with- out dificulty. As the portion of the track reforred to was not completed. and the com- pany intends to have the track nearly level with the street, this little particular will cause no controversy, —_— Cobs $1 a load.

I have re- quested the police to arrest them, but this has never been done. It would be a good examplo to have some of them taken in, and 1 believe it would put a check on the rest of them, It1s very dangerous, and no one would be to blame but themselves if some of them should happen to go under the wheels, Purents ought to sce that their boys do not indulge in such hazardous amusement. The motor men and conductors cannot be ex- pected wo keep them off, as they have other duties to attend to, and 1t must lie with the parents and the police, There seems w0 be too much indifferenco on the part of the former, but it would be well for them to consider thut their interference in the mat- ter would be far more satisfactory all around if exercised before somebody’s boy is picked up and carried home lifeless or minus a_leg or an arm. The time to think of these things is before they occur, and I want to call the atteation of the parents to the matter, that they may fully realize just what the ~situa- tion is. If this practico 1s continued, 8 fatal accident is liable to occur any duy.” It is stated that the police have been noti- fled to arrest any and all boys who are caught jumping on or off trains while in mo- tion, ana they will be dealt with n such a inanner that they will not care to repeat the experiment. If repeated warnings will not have any effect, it is proposed to try some- thing more effectual, e Continuation of ihe Gigantic Sale at the Boston Sto other Week, 70 doz toboggans at 25c; 100 styles to se- lect from, worth 7 Handkerchiets, 1lec, 8¢, 5e, 7o, 10¢, 12}ge, Importer's order of mitial handkerc ladies’ and gents, at 15c, all linen 25, goods sold elsewhere at 50c.

All Spanish senoritas are not draped in coquottish mantillas nor perpetually dancing to castanets, I doubt if anyone, looking at a photo- graph of a graduating elass of this school, would know, without being told, exactly what country. they belonged to. Just before I had found that Africa was not so very African, and now there were a good many things in Spain not particularly Spanish. Salamanca has not been unmindful of female interests from the beginmng. An early queen conferred upon the damsels of some eight of its principal families the right to ennoble with themselves whomsoever they should marry. The university itself used to endow desorving da with wedding portions. There were women of extr: intellect and note, like Beatriz Galindo and Louisa de Madrano,who rose to the rank of professors in tho university, The former became the governess of Isabella, the patron of Columbus, It is not stated whether these professors covered their faces during lectures on account of their beauty, but they did theic part toward settling the vexed question of the equality of the sexes at a very early date. The great festival is on October 1,the opening of the school year, which closes on June 6.

None can equal in horror their thrilling stories nor make their listeners feel 8o truly that the “gpirits” are really to be seen. An old darkoy, Aunt Peggy by name, was an enthusiast on the subject. How she enjoyed telling us about one event- ful evening, when she was nearly *'skeered to death,” She was going to ‘‘prayer meeting,” through the lonely Piue woods, and “thinkin’ right hard bout de gude Lawd.” when,what should she see but a ‘‘shadder walkin’ right dar aside her.” She told how she clos- ed her eyes right tight so as not to see it, but stumbling over an old stump which happened to be in the way, she bad to open her eyes, and “dar 1t war agin, right afore her.” “‘Lawd a’mussey,” she said, “how she did run, an’ dat 'ero speerit right arter her,” and 1t came so ¢lose that it made her feel cold all.over. The good old soul declared the “spirit” did not leave her until she reached the meeting house. There no spirits can enter, as “de gude Lawd sees arter dat,an’they’s skeered of him.” She told us that the ‘‘spirits” were only to be scen on moonlight nights, and that sometimes they looked like long, thin shaaows, dressed in gray. They often bend down right over peo- ple and peer into their faces, whilst theirbreath islike a cold north wind. It any one notices them they sigh dole- fully, and then suddenly disappear with o wild shriek of mocking laughter. Some of these shadows are as tall as the lofty pines, and as they toss their long arms wildly in theair'the clinging dra- pery of their shrouds wave in the breeze. This belief might well be ac- counted for by thelong, clinging Span- ish moss, whilst the :wind *‘soughing” through the pine trees might be com- {mred to the plaintive wail of some onely ‘‘spirit’” hailing from the “land of the dead.” e A Feature of the Sioux Bill. CHaMBERLAIN, 8, D,, Nov. 9.—[Special to Tur Bee.|—Ona of the best provisions of the Sioux bill, under which 11,000,000 acres of the Sioux reservation will be thrown open 1o settlement early nexy spring, is that sec- tion which provides for achools for the In- dian ochildren, such schools to be located upon their reservation, ' These schools will be similar to tho district schools of the Whites, and will allow' the Indian children the privilege of returning home each even- ing.” The Indiaus at Crow Creek szeucy, Which Lies directly north of this city, are by far the most intelligent of any of ihe Sioux tribes, yet the writer has time and again witnessed the blacksliding of some of their brightest young men who return from the eastern schools nicely dressed and as cleanly in their habits as oy white person, but within a few weeks, owiug to the taunts of their elders, they discard the clothiug of the whites and attire themselves in the regula- tion buckskin and moccasins, The preseat Sioux bill, particularly that section glving the Indians schools upon the reservation, cannot but result in the rapid and lasting advancement of the entire tribe, for the old people will become interested 1o the pro- gress mado by their ohildren oach day. and Wi thus be as much benefivied as the ohil- dren themselves. TALE OF A PHANTOM SHIP, A Regular “Flying Dutchman” Ssen on the Oolorado Desert. ALWAYS PRECEDES SAND STORMS The Romantic Account of Frospec- tors Who Have Sighted the Ghostly Oraft and Her Shadowy Crew. Did the Ocean Onca Fiow Here ? Faw persons who read the nowspapors will fail 10 remember the accounts which weve published some fiftecn years ago and which reappear at intervals in their regular rounds of the press re- garding the discovery of the hull of a ship in the central part of the Colorado desert, says tho San | Exam- ine This dreary, trackless wasio of sand, which lies in San Diego county is bordered by the San Be nardino mountains, the San Jacinto mountains, and extends from tho Sun Gorgonio pass to the Colorado river, and has claimed moro human vietims than any other section of similar ar within the boundaries of tho United States. It is absolutely devoid of water, and to attempt to cross it withoat muk ing ample provision in this respect is snicide, simple and p unlessa heavy fall of rain immed previous has filled up tho tanks and water-holes which exist at certain isolated points. A large part of this desert is below tho level of the sea, the greatest depression being a Voleano Springs-—-a station on the Southern Pacif =~whero the traveler has the satisfaction of knowing, if such knowledgo is product- ive of satisfaction, thut he is 255 feut lower than the waves of the Pacific ocean that aro breaking on the rocks scarcely seventy-fivo miles distant. That the Colorado desert was once covered by water and formed a large bay of the Pacific ocean there is eve evidence. High up on the mountuin sides can bo plunly seen the water marks, and the lashings of the waves for unkndwn ages have cut the rock in horizontal grooves as rvegulurly as if done by the carver’s tool. Into this arm of the sea the Colorado river once flowed, but some mighty volcanic up- heaval threw vp the slight envirous which now direct that stream in an- other course. and the gradual recession of the ocean made the work permanent. What ancient galleys have plowed the bitlows of this land-locked bay, what ships may have found safety on its peaceful bosom are mysteries of the ob- scure, prehistoric past, which noue may ever know, Late in the summer of 1878, several years after the story of the discov the remains of a ship had been mudo public, two German prospectors reached Yuma from the Colorado desert. They were ir ate of great distress and vo- ported the loss of & companion on tho desert. The prospectors, it seems, had been ‘skirting the south and west sides of the San Bernardino rango in search of minerals and their com- panion was lost some six days before at a point about about one hundred miles northwest of Yuma. The peculiar feature of their story was associating with and attributing the disappearance of their comrade to an appurition which they had beheld the previous ovening, About sundown, so the Ger- mans said. and while encamped on the descrt, they saw, ut a short distanco, an immense ship under full sail, which ap- peared to float before them as a cloud. She was of different form of construc- tion irom any vessel they had ever seen, and was complicated and fantastic in herrigging. Their description of the vessel was by no means lucid, but they were very positive that their com- panion had been shanghaied and taken off on the “*ghost ship,” as they insisted on calling it. The story of the Germans was re- ceived with a good deal of contempt by the people of Yuma, who, after teiling the prospectors that they wore double- adjective fools, sent two men and three Indian trailers on the train to Indio to search tho desert east of that station for the missing man. The second day his naked corpse was found about forty miles from the railroad, with the scorching rays of the sun falling full upon it. He had died in the desert of thirst, but no sign of the phantom ship was seen. Early in 1882 Tom Brown, then a citi- zon of “Arizona, but now residing in Bakersfield, this state, and the writer, organized a quiet little expedition for the purpose of ascertaining what truth there was in the storics regarding the Desert Ship, several persons having re ported that they had seen it since the time when the Germans related their experience. Nick Wolford,an Arvizona mountaineer, was induced to join,while a ‘“happy-go-lucky” known “simply as Jack completed the party, In order to escape ridicule the real object of the ex- pedition was not made known: he party “outfitted” at Yuma for the osten- siblé purpose of prospecting in the San Bernardino mountains, Bight burros were secured the little donkey being best adapted for such an expedition, owing to his ability to subsist on noth- ing and to go for long periods without water. Five pf the animals were loaded with supplies, camp outlit, blankets, ete., while the remainder packed kegs, with which to carry the water supply while making long marches on the desert. On the 4th day of l-‘ehruury the ex- pedition left Yuma, fully equipped for a three-weeks’ trip. A more favorable scason could not have been selected for making the journey. Hugging the base of the mountains closely in order to admit of prospecting for precious metal, water was not only found in abundance, but there was plenty of grass for the faithful and patient burro, which poked lazily along under his heavy pack. The air was perfectly de- lightful and the temperature similar to that of early summer in a northern climate—a little too warm about noon time, but exhilarating and pleasant for the remainder of the day. Water marks on rocky precipices, far above, showed plainly where the ocean break- ers once expended their force, while in the west, south and southeast from tho slightly elevated course we were tra ing, the eye fell upon miles and miles of sand-hilis and valleys of sand, and oceans of sand, which being driven and formed by the 'wind, presented the ap- pearance of rolling billows, vary- ing in color according to distance, the shadings, the existence of alkalis, and the fecble atiempts at growth of hardy vegetation. Even the rugged and thorny cactus couid not find on the desert plain a soil sufficiently congenial as to raise its weird branches as a warning to the traveler against at- tempting to cross this trackless waste. Ten miles from the mountaing the dis- mal squawk of the raven was the only sound of a bird to break ths depressing silence, while the lizard and kangaroo rat were the only members ot the anm- mal kingdom to abide iu this valley of death, and a system of cannibalism can neisco The Bact Ranippad Estsblishmant in the Weat G of every description and material, TWIN CITY STEAM ry Cle £ town orders by mail OF oxpress, will receive pro e re——— DYE WORKS.

Heavy sand was encountered and se- vere ‘sandstorms were prevalent, and progress was very slow and tedious. Finally, and when within about 120 miles of their destination, 1t became necessary to abandon the boat in order to save the lives of the eight fine horses which were hauling it. Shortly afterward a boat was brought from San Francisco by way of the gulf of Cali- fornia, and a ferry established at La Paz, The Briggs brothers then gave up their project, and their old boat is visible, although more generally com- pletely hidden by sand. - THE MEXICAN GENDARMERIE, Their Duty is to Clear the Highways of Robbers, A very important subdivision of the army is the gendurmeries, a force charged with rtain classes of police duties, of which the most vesponsible is that of keeping the highwiys clear of robbers. says a writer in Harper’s magazine.
