MYSTEROPS SUIOIDE,
John McOara, of New Richmond, Meets a Dreadful Death on The Olovor Leaf. Spwlul to the Journal
Lindkn, July 25.—Thin morning at 4 :20 o'clock a man by the name of Huffman left the depot ut thiB place to walk to New Richmond where ho is engaged in laying brick on the K. of P. hall it that place. He had proceeded down the Clover Leaf track near 11 miles where there is a bridge about 25 or 30 feet long. He had been looking straight ahead for some time at an approaching train, but when he arrived at the bridge his eyes fell to the ties on the bridge when to his horror ho observed a man lying in tho middle of the track lengthwise ot tho road and near the center of the bridge. He hastened forward and attempted to arouse the man by shaking him vigorously and gave him several kicks, but all to no purpose, being from the first considerably "rattled," he grew worse. When he fountl that he could not get the man around and fearing that the fast approaching train wonld catch him on the bridge also, he backed off the bridge swinging his hat to stop the train but too late. Tho train was heavy freight coming down a Bleep grade and just as tho engine struck the bridge Huffman BayB he saw the man throw himself across the track. His head was cut, breast mashed, both arms and hands ground up and both limbs cut off nnd mangled. Death was instantaneous. Examination showed him to bo John McCain, of New Richmond.
Ho had boon in Lindon all day Sunday until tho evening when I10 procured a horse and buggy at tho livory stable and took Miss Layton buggy riding. They both attended church last night. Ho returned horse and buggy to the stable this morning about !i o'clock nnd at once started down tho track afoot for New Richmond. The remains wore gathored up by the section men and taken to his sister's at New Richmond The whole matter of the whys, etc., of his lying down in tho middle of the track remains a complete mystery everyone at tho present writing.
DROWNED IN THE SURF
w.
S. Staley, Formerly of This Oity Meets Death in California. Word has been received here of the death of W. S. Staley, which occurred a few days ago at Los Angeles, Gal. Hla ley was bathing in tho surf nnd getting into tho undertow was drowned before assistance could be rendered him. llun dreds of peoplo here will remember Stn ley who was for quite awhile telegrapl operator at the Monon. He was a genial and companionable fellow and made hosts of friends. He was mnrried to Miss Lizzie Oliver, daughter of the late Win. Oliver, of oast Jefferson street, about the time he left nnd thoy went west together. Their domestic happiness was hardly profound and in fact may be snid to have been somewhat nebulous after the lirsl few weekB of wedded bliss, tyid several months ago they pnrtod and have since lived apart. While everything was lovely Staler had takon out heavy life insurance policy in favor of his wife. When they parted te endeavored to get it chang. but had not succeeded when he met his death. The policy stood in favor of Mrs. Oliver and the is taking steps to collect it However, Staley's relatives are preparing to fight it and promise to make an interesting case. It beems that they cunnot get around the issue, though, nnd ns tho couple were never divorced Mrs. Staley will probably triumph in the end.
Pulled.
Mike lSritton, the popular dog fancier, was arrested on west Pike street this afternoon on warrant sworn out by Supt. Carr, of ihe electric light plant. It appears Hint Miko is moving a house on Pike street and to give it room to move cheerfully cut a few electric light wiros. He was greatly surprised when he was arrestod for a little thing like that.
They May Strike,
J. II. Bowtnnn goes to Chicago morrow, where with Grand Chief llmnsoy tho railroad telegraphers will confer with the Monon. They will wrestle a week to secure a reasonable settlement with tho road and if they are not nblo to do so a grand strike will be inaugurated. It is thought, however, that torinB will bo ngroed npon.

LAUNOHING A BATTLESHIP. Ilow An Ungl lull Wur Vf*»nei Wm Qlrea to lloptune.
A launch recently took pl&ce upon tho Clyde, which the London Times describes as "one of the most interesting and exciting of modern times." The vessel was the Kamilllefi, an immense bteel battleshii three hundred and eighty feet long aud weighing many thousands of tons as she rested on the ways, without her armament and much of her machinery. She had been built at an open air slip, and close by stood a large grandstand, erected and gaily decorated for visitors. The great vessel herself was a-flutter with llags from stem to stern. A band was playing patriotic airs, and an eager crowd swarmed about the shipyards, filled with excitement and expectation which rose to the highest point as the appointed hour approached.
The moment came: a hush fell upon the multitude, and the chaplain of the Clyde guardship stepped forward and read the launching service. Then tlu dogshores were knocked away, and the crowd, in breathless silence, waited. Hut the vessel did not stir. The incline was too slight and her weight too enormous. She could not. start without assistance.
A powerful hydraulic ram v. as brought into requisition, ami after some time it became apparent thai the Kamillics had moved a very little, and was yet moving, at a pace of about an inch a minute. At that rate it would lake her three days and three.nights to reach the water.
Other means must be found if she was to be launched that day. Her builders and some of the chief workmen went down beneath her to see if she could be assisted from below. Hawsers were taken out to tugs in the river, which tried to tow her ofT. Workmen were massed in large lxwlies on her decks, and bidden to run violently up and down. The crowd even se their hands and shoulders to her sides, and thrust* ingall together, attempted to push her from her place.
Of these efforts only one had any effect. The pulling of the tugs did quicken her a little, though so slightly that the motion was not one which could be followed by the eye. A change in their position was effected with a better result- Still she could not bo seen to move, and the tide, meantime, had reached its height and begun to ebb.
At last all hope of seeing her launched until the next day was abandoned. The disappointed crowd straggled away the invited guests went a luncheon given by the builders even the musicians put up their instruments ami departed. Not twenty people besides the workmen remained, when it was observed that the motion of tin* vast hull hud become perceptible to the eye. It increased it increased more rapidly: it became swifter and swifter.
At length, amid the cheers of the lookers-on, the great battleship, with a magnificent smooth rush, took tho water, breasting the Clyde ns easily as a duck, crossing nearly to the opposite shore before she could bo stopped, and raising large waves in her passage, upon which the other vessels in the river rocked and tossed as if at sea.
The sight its. after the unprecedented time of an hour and a half of continuous motion, she successfully took the stream, was most Impressive. Jler eight, chain cables tautened like eight steel bars, and seemed as if they must snap holding, they dragged their eight huge anchors, each weighted with ten tons of steel and iron aud deeply im

Two KjiltaliM.
Remarkable are two epitah s, the firsti of which is said to be upon a tombstone in the city of Sacramento: "More is laid Daniel Itorrow, who was born in Sorrow, and Borrowed little from Nature except his name and his love to mankind and hatred to redskins: who was nevertheless a gentleman and a dead shot: who, through a long life, never killed his man except in self defense or by accident: and who. when ho at last went under, beneath the bullet* nf his cowardly enemies in the saloon of .lefT Morris, did so In the sure and certain hope of a glorious and everlasting Morrow." The other, which belongs to a Nevada burying place, is such a noteworthy achievement in this line that it may fltlj' conclude our compilation of a few of the curiosities of epitaph literature: Sacred to the Memory of Hank Monk' the Whitest. JSig-gest-hearted, and' llest-knowu Stagedriver of the West who was kind to All and Thought 111 of None, lie Lived in a Strange Kra, and was a Hern, and the Wheels of his Coach are now Kinging on t-roldcn Streets."—Chambers' Journal.
