ALONG THE RAIL.Rio Grande Western and Colorado

Itwas announced recently that the ColoradoMidland would be opened for business on JunelOih, lv connection With the Kio Grande West-ern, which had been changed to a broad gaugefrom Ogden to Grand Junction. Iho Intentionof the managers was not realized in this respect;and It Is now dated that the road may not beopened for business before the last of July.

Vice I'iesident l'eabody of tlie Rio Grande West-ern, during his recent visit in this city, said otthe Dew connection:"

We have had a thirdrail laid between Ogdenand (irana Junction, equipment lias been pro-vided, and all is ready, as far as we are con-cerned, for the opening of the standard gauge.

The Colorado Midland people have been very

slow In completing this line, which was to havebeen opened on June loth, and It looks very

much like bad management on the part of ihe

Colorado Midland people. This unnecessary de-lay is puttingus to gieat expense, an we are atpresent compelled to maintain a special car\u25a0ervice.

"The agents of Eastern roads are also put toere.it Inconvenience in booking passengers,owing to ibe lan that Hist and second class pas-sengers usually encage their sleeping accommo-dations about leu days prior to their departure,and under the present arrangement It Is Impossi-ble foi the agents to tell now far they willbeable to Rive passengers such accommodations.This stale of affair* willcontinue until the stan-dard gauge is open, when passengers willbe en-abled to ivichase beiths from San Francisco toChicago without liiaiite,or,Inother words, pas-sengers willhave the same accommodations onthis Hue as ate accorded travelers on the Uniontactile or Northwestern."

UISCOVEKKD BY THE C'EN'SUci.

Sad Case of Destitution— A RemarkableMother.

Supervisor Davis says that the requestpublished in the daily papers that peopleout of town and those who were not vis-ited by the census enumerators fiom othercauses, should send in their names to hisoffice has been productive of good results;a larse number of names has been sent inin this way and more are coming. He de-sires to reiterate the request.

A census enumerator yesterday discov-ered a very sad case of a battle with pov-erty. A woman 72 years of age, and so at-flicted withcurvature of the spine that sheis bent almost double, has an idiotic son tosupport. She is no longer able to work andthe two are subsisting on money raised bya mortgage on their little home. Whenthat is cone she willhave nothing left.

Another family was discovered composed

of father, mother and ten children. Everyone of the children are club-footed amiknock-kneed and one of them is Insane.The father earns S2 per day, out of whichhe supports the lot.

Another woman gave her ace as 37. andshe did not look a day older. She had four-teen children, the eldest of whom (a girl of24 years; looked much older than hermother. This remarkably vigorous womanwas married when she was 12 years of age.Her husband is now ."\u25a0•;.

Another arrest was ordered yesterday fora refusal to answer questions, but the nameof the recalcitrant was not disclosed.

Of these al.out one-fourth have beenround tilled with rubbish In greater orless quan-tity. In about one-hun defective brickwork wasrevealed, while the rest of tbe work examined ap-peared to have been properly laid. Inmost of theplaces found defective the walls can be repairedand rendered sufficiently strong for the weightsthey have to carry, as there Is an abundant marginof strength remaining to Insure the stability or thestructure.

'1 liemost serious defects. however, have beenfound to be in the four great piers supporting theheavy Iron girders, nearly 100 feet long, which spanthe wingfrom side to fide, 'ihese piers will baveto carry at least 160 tons each, and must be wellbuilt from bottom to top. They have been foundfilled with nibbish for a part of their height, andshould be taken down to the bottom or the presentsteel beams on the floor below and rebuilt In thebest manner in cement mortar. In accordance withthe strict terms of the contract.

The two piers adjoining the old work have alsobeen loiiud tiled with rubbish, and should be takendown and rebuilt bo as to render the connections ofthe new with ihe old work as perfect as possible.The work on the story below has been found to boIngood condition as regards the exterior walls, andmay be considered sound construction.

COJJTBACTOB M'< ANX's VIEWS.

Secretaiy Spoils Ihen lead the followingcom-munication from Contractor McUann:

To the HonorabU Board of City Hall Commission-ers

—uiNTi.FM n: We bt-g leave to make the fol-

lowingobservations concerning iiit: subject of ourwork on tin;City Hall;ami we have remained silentdesignedly untilthe sensational reports or the news-papers should become somewhat exhausted.

We are the contractors with your board for theconstruction of the northwest vrlngof the City- Hall,and John McCarthy Isa sub-contractor withm fortin-construction of the brickwork thereof; and forthe- performance "Ibis work ho has been and is hir-ing brick-layers itroni time to time when needed.Amongothers he hired one ti. K. Hanks, who is apoi.il brick-layer, but apparently a crafty desi^nlugman, who has served a term in the peulteutlary orthis State fura felony.

Our information enables us to say that Hankscau>ed about two barrels of broken mortar andbrick, known as staffing, to be placed in a fewseparate places within the brick walls upon whichbe was employed, aud that he Intimated to some ofills fellow-workmen that by doing so secretly Itwould subsequently become a source of profit byselling his information to the newspapers or usingit to extort silence money lroui the contractors.Hanks, being a good brick-layer, and of more thanaverage mental activity and general intelligence,Mr. McCarthy permitted him to act as foremanfrom time to time in his absence fruui the work.(ifcourse, Mr.McCarthy had no knowledge duringthis time of the moral standing of Hanks, lit.-,position as a sort or foreman enabled him the betterto carry out his evil designs auil to put up audexecute his Job.

Under the spur of Inflammatory and sensationalnewspaper literature, and the pretension* of suchpersons as Mr.lliley, little subject has gamedan unmerited notoriety, between fifty arid sixtyholes have been boreil into the brickwork con-structed by Mr.McCarthy ; and only in a very few

about four Inall has there been found anythingbut first-class work and Hrst-clsss material, amiHauks alone, lv pursuance of his evil designs,placed Intlioss lew places, uot to exceed Inall twobarrels ofbroken brick and mortar. the price ofenough first-class brick and cement, such as ourcontract calls for to supply the places occupied byinIs much "stuffing*'would cost about *10.

The mount of our contract with yonr board Is$88

-10, and the amount of Mr. McCarthy's con-

tract with us is SS7.UOJ, and Itrequires uo argu-ment to couvlce reasonable mind that no saneperson would knowinglyrescr: to such a small trickfor such a small gain under such large contracts,even it Illsconscience did do* interfere, and evenif assured against being discovered.

We have been contractors lv this city, singly andInpartnership, lor over twenty years, and our repu-tation enables us to command large bonds .r^m kludand substantial friends and neighbors. We havedone much work, public ami private, as contract-ors, and we can fearlessly refer toevery one withwhom we Dave dealt furexpression on our charac-ters. And we hope to be aule to do the same wheuuur contracting days are at an end.

We have dealt with Mr.McCar.hy a good deal, aminave tuun<l him correct, trutlitui,reliable anil hon-est. We cannot ihuige our estimation of him orour relations with him by reason of anything whichHanks may say or do. We fuel conscious of thefact that it is unpleasant and even dangerous toone's peace and character to have any relation! withsuch a man as Hanks appears to be. But Hanks gotnUopportunity and has played his littletrick,andMr.McCarthy is dealing onlywitu us. We are theonly persons bo are dealing with your honorableboard. We are the contractors to whom you look,and consequently we arc prepared to mate goodwhatever harm Hanks has committed. Bo we mostrespectfully request that you Indicate what isproperto be done in this matter, and we shall cheerfullyattend to it. We have no objection to the publicknowing allabout the public business, but the moreexpeditious and business-like the matter can be dis-posed of the better we like it.

Most respectfully we subscribe ourselves,-„ Rll ium< McCaNN',Tlli'JlA.lC. HIOIitLL.

As regards the removal of bodies and the dis-continuance of inleiments in tlie City Cemeteiy,the city and County Allorney says that all ordi-nances must be reasonable, and If the cnbileheallh requires tlie discontinuance, then iheboard has ihe power to make such an order.The opinion is quite long, and as regaids Mire-moval of remains declares:

BLYTHE'S AVIUOW.

Cuncl ion of the Argument AgainstHer ( 1 1:111 to the Kittnte.

W. W. Foote concluded his argument yes-terday afternoon against the claim of thewidow in the lilythe estate. He scoutedthe idea of a marriage contract betweenlilythe and her, insisted that Blytlie hadnot troubled himself much over represent-

ing her as his wife to his friends, and de-clared that although she had testified thatBlytne had promised to introduce her gen-erally as Mrs. Blythe, when the Nellie Fir-mln imbroglio was over in 187& yet liveyears after that she had Her visiting cardsprinted with the name of Mist DU'kason.

Mr. Foote backed away from his notes fora tew minutes to emit a scathing attack up-on Wendell, whom ho characterized as thechief conspirator in the plot to defraudFlorence of her rights. Wendell was in theroom at the time and was pointed out byhis accuser, 10 the amusement of every onepresent but:tiio accused. Referring to thestatement of E. 1). Wheeler, counsel for thewidow, that Florence was entitled to onehalf of th« estate, Mr. Foote said that ifAlice Edith were even given a fraction ofthe property it would be a premium on con-spiracy.

Then his eyes roved insearch of Dr. Tay-lor, and lie dubbed that gentleman "thewatch-dog of the treasury," "the faithfulguard against the spoliation of the lilythemillions." He declared that when thewaisl of the Williams infants lent the air,the doctor was all eagerness to have thetreasure bestowed upou them alone; butwhen the voice of Florence was raised insupplication, the doctor's heart grew hardas adamant.

The testimony of the witnesses who sawthe adoption paper signed byBlythe, it wascontended, is worthy of every credence,and the proper recognition of the impure ofthat testimony willbe sufficient to send thewidow on a lung voyage ina canal boat

Dr. Taylor will open tho argument forthe Williams infants on Monday next.

"A SUPERSTITION."By a Prominent Physician.

Van Ilarllngeu, the distinguished medical writer,says:

When as formerly skin diseases were supposed tobe due to some "acrid humor in the blood," physi-cians sedulously avoided any attempt "to check therash" for rear that the disease might otherwise "fallupon" some vital point. Sumo such view was ex-tensively prevalent until quite recent years.

Many or the Sarsaijarlllas having been createdunder those old Ideas still believe , the eruptionsshould be forced out, hence their use of potash,which has that unpleasant effect. Van Harluigencharacterizes this old belief as "asuperstition." andadds that the commonest forms of skin diseases areacne (the ordinary pimply.facial eruptions) andeczema, and says medicine now recognizes that tty*

peptla and cun»ttpa(icn are the commonest consdtu-tionnl cauia. .•We have, we think, heretofore sufficiently shownthe inappropriateness of purely potash remedies ascompared with the soundness orJoy's VegetableSarsaparllla in dyspepsia and constipation. Insteadof fearing to suppress the eruptions, its effort is to"dry them up" by stimulating the secretive and di-gestive processes and gently arousing hepatic andperistaltic action, and thus eliminate through the

natural channels. ";No mystery surrounds its splen-aid effects. ItIs simply right. \u25a0-
