Completed.
One of the most important events
in, the history of railroads in this
section rra.4' celebrated on Monday
last. -We refer to the completion of
tha narrow guage to Buffalo, N. V.
During -the past winter negotia
tions were 'entered 'into between the
Lehigh Valley and New York 4 - , Erie
railroad companies for the putting
down of a third rail fr4n Elmira to
Buffalo. The stipulations were, that
Ole former company was to furnish
1
steel rails'and the .latter supply the
bolts, frOgs, and put the rails
down. The distance_from Elmira to
Buffalo is 145 miles, and twelve thou
sand tons of steel rails were required,
for the work. The work was com
menced on the 10th of April and
was Fonipleted in just forty days,

•
vision Superintendents GARDNER of
Elmira and Taman of Buffalo. The
work on the Susquehanna Division
was completed on Friday last, but
Mr. TAvLor. had nineteen miles to
put down at that time, and.- accom
plished the marvelous feat on S..attir-,
day evening. In addition to laying
the rails, three hundrediand sixty-five
frogs were required to execute the
work, and some of these are a marvel
even to railroad men.
The Ljebi zit Valley Company is
entitled to great credit' for the ac
complishment of this most important
work. In this time of general de
pression of businesS, it came forward
and volunteered to advance to the
Erie Company the rails and take its
Pay , in trackage, thus relieving, the
Erie from the large outlay for rails.
The advantages to both the states to
be derived 6om this new thorourth2
fare are hardly to be computed, and
we deftlr more extended remarks un
til a future issue.

EDITOR. REPORTER.: Denver has i)ro
gressed_wonderfully during the pastlew
years. I thmht if any other city in .the
Wv;st had so rapid and healthy a growth.
Large and expensive business, blocks:. are
constantly being built on every side, virdle
the suburbs are rapidly spreading out
over the plains, with many as elegant:res
idem"s and beautiful grtainds as Cad, be
seen in any weMern city of its
my estimation, this is a far loftier Aace
than Salt Lake City—which latter place
has generally been conceded to havti no
equal fur beauty. Excepting a, few st.*iny
days in Reinter and spring, the streeti are..
always in tine condition, being hartLiand'?
dry, and much nicer than they sciold be'
if they were ,paved. Shade tree, have,
been set out on each side of nearly aWthel
Streets, and are getting quite large, Which,'
add greatly to the beauty of the place, ,
and Beer the hearts and are doubly:ap-:
preciated by those who have lived itt4his;
count')" a few years and become used ter;
the sav-brush plains. Business-is nit so,
tively.and bustlin7, as it ii:as before he
rail.rerl came, yet it is good, and 7, the
•'bard times" that have been pervaidin7,

The railroads pass . :lng into the rnouut4iins

jared Denver to a &rtain extent, yet, the
not-there part of the territory' is develop

The past winter Was a pretty good one
of stock: and though in this section-cattle
pretty generally come out spring in I
better condition for bat-nicks than beef,
there was a very little loss from storiet or
starvation. If cruelty to animals is:any
sin, I think most of, the stock-raiserS in
thislatuntry will have much ti answer for
when they get, throu-th witicihis Wprld.
There not beirPg much snow itrrain, the
grass preserves its nutriment to an extent,
and if the snow dots nut lay on top Icing

cost to feed their stock. This is the
month they " round up." During the
winter cattle running on - their rangestm get
setttered, and a man that owns 500 or j
Won bead. could' not get them together
again in six months in any : other *ay.
'flat "Renal ups" are set for verbal' days
at some well-known ranch. and .each `one
covers an area of ten or fifteen Miles
septare. The ram-limed and men emplpy4,;(l
for the purpose drive alI the cattle itt the
section denoted to the place apts.eiMed,
where each man picks out wh , ar,
to hint. Thus, if a man loses a single:calf
of a bemired ! head of beeves,-he cart gti to
the "round-up s - ' in his sectio - n. and if he
(Ices not find what he has lost rest reNtty
s=ire that it has fallen a ykt,int to in

now our hopes arc blasted, at least so rar e ,
as the strong arm of the law is:concerned.
On the 21st of October last, seven Ital
ians—tinkers and itinerant Musicianße---
went to the house of four of theta coati
trymen in broaei daylight and in a thickly
settled.pmelion of the city. and cut thkir
throats and pitched their bodies into the
cellar. The horrible crime was dimTeovered
a few days later, and the murderers were
.soon arrested in New Mexico and the
part of this terribetv. At the
Jametry term of court they,all plead. MA
guilty to their indictments, thought, I Ikt
iieve tacit 'one admitted to participathen
in the eirone. Their trials were postponed
to this, the May term of court, The ri4g
leader's trial arras set for the first, and 'he
plead guilty, when is _was found thnt,
ow-Mg to a twealiar interpretation. of the
law, a 11.1311 that plt acs guilty, of murder
cannot be sentenced to'ticatle. The see

draw his tplea'of not guilty and to pleitil
guilty, but it was not allowed, He Was
convicted of murder in the first 'degree.

again on another indict mu ut tai w hich ire

of the section of the criminal code I refer
to : The Ocat le penalty for the (-tittle:Of

The- Black Hills excitement is dyitig .

there, and they all agree that there is not
