From what we can. learn, the parties.were arrested on complaint of Mr. Bech‘tal, who clafms the land upon which the parties were engaged in cutting wood, and the arrest is made under an old law. It is said that. no arrests would have been made had the parties gone on lands which were not claimed under the pre-emption law. The parties arrested claim, we believe, that they were on the public lands, and were cutting timber to be used for mining purposes, It is claimed by the other side that they. were cutting wood for market or for running the machinery at the old Oriental mill.

Se Aa ol Tue Chicago Tribune suggests that the city should be protected against future fires on the Holly system, by constructing wells or reservoirs. in different distriota of the city below the level of the lake, to be fed by tunnels, and at each of these reservoirs stationary steam pumps would, at every alarm of fire, force water into the mains with pressure sufficient to throw. the water. to the top of the highest buildings from every hydrant in the city, Ip this way the water can. be, supplied miore promptly and at. less expense than by steam fire engines. on wheels, The plan has been tried most successfully in several Eastern cities of about 30,000 inhabitants with a single stationary engine; but half a dozen, at least would be required in a place like Ohicago. ‘The pressure: that would throw the water.100 feet:high near the engine, would not oath it up more than thirty feet half a mile off, especially in those. streets, where the mains are small; ‘and hence the impossibility ‘of supplying all the needful power at° one rede? voir, even with the greatest combination of See A-fortunate. and fashionable New York. papa, with a family of three danghters. and a son, is soon to have them all married on the same day . and, at the same place.

Governon Scorn, of South Carolina, says that one of the worst Kuklux counties in the State, Union, is not included in the President’s proclamation, while one of the quietest counties, Marion, is.

On ray ‘That, the United States Deputy Marshal atrested J: Kitts, C., Foster, Wm. Montgomery, a man named Butler, and a Chinaman, charged with ‘cutting timber from public lands in Willow Valley. From what we can. learn, the parties.were arrested on complaint of Mr. Bech‘tal, who clafms the land upon which the parties were engaged in cutting wood, and the arrest is made under an old law. It is said that. no arrests would have been made had the parties gone on lands which were not claimed under the pre-emption law. The parties arrested claim, we believe, that they were on the public lands, and were cutting timber to be used for mining purposes, It is claimed by the other side that they. were cutting wood for market or for running the machinery at the old Oriental mill. We presume the matter will come up in the United States Court at-San Francisco, Change of Time. ~ The new time table has heen issued for the Central Pacific Railroad. The change took place this morning. The cars with mails for Nevada will arrive at Colfax twenty minutes before six—ten minutes later than heretofore. The western bound train will leave Colfax at 1045—two hours later than heretofore.

Se Aa ol Tue Chicago Tribune suggests that the city should be protected against future fires on the Holly system, by constructing wells or reservoirs. in different distriota of the city below the level of the lake, to be fed by tunnels, and at each of these reservoirs stationary steam pumps would, at every alarm of fire, force water into the mains with pressure sufficient to throw. the water. to the top of the highest buildings from every hydrant in the city, Ip this way the water can. be, supplied miore promptly and at. less expense than by steam fire engines. on wheels, The plan has been tried most successfully in several Eastern cities of about 30,000 inhabitants with a single stationary engine; but half a dozen, at least would be required in a place like Ohicago. ‘The pressure: that would throw the water.100 feet:high near the engine, would not oath it up more than thirty feet half a mile off, especially in those. streets, where the mains are small; ‘and hence the impossibility ‘of supplying all the needful power at° one rede? voir, even with the greatest combination of See A-fortunate. and fashionable New York. papa, with a family of three danghters. and a son, is soon to have them all married on the same day . and, at the same place.
