The name of the dead man was Jesus, and It la said that be had been an habitual drunkard, only remaining sober when he could get no whisky. He had been at alsonville and tilled up, and when became bedtime for him he laid down on the railroad, using the rails a pillow. The cars came thundering along at a two-minute rate, engineer Jones not being able to see a prostrate form lying the road around a curve.

When the eugineer see It bo did all in his power to atop the train, but bis efforts wore futile, and the iron horse thundered on, mangling tbe body in a most shock ing manner and severing fe besd from tpe body.

Another accident on the Santa Cruz road has to be chronicled.

Tuesday afternoon, as the Santa Cru uound passenger was rounaing a curve near Gallagher's, a milo and a half wost of town, a man was soen lying upon the track, and though the engineer did all he could to stop the locomotive, the train passed over the unfortunate man, killing him instantly. The deceased was named Hansen Marcos. He was a Californian, who lived near the beach, It is sup posed he was on his homewara way, rather the worse for liquor, and lay down on the track, and being in liq uor did not bear tbe train. A Com er's jury waa summoned by Justice Dibble, the remains viewed, anu lie Investigation adjourned to Wednesday afternoon, when. the engineer, fire man and conductor of tho train were examined, and a verdict was rendered that (the deceased was under the In.

Scientists of more or less reputation have given three causes for the crimson sunsets which have lighted up the western sky with varying brilliancy of color during tbe last six weeks. The first theory was that the cause was local.

Forest fires were assumed to have thrown a volume of smoke and dust into the air, which, IntcrccDting the sun's ravs at a cer tain angle, produced the effect do-scribed. But the local theory was quickly abandoned when newspapers from the Kast and Europe aescrinea similar phenomena. Of course a forest fire in California could not send smoke and dust to color a European sky, and consequently a cause wider in its possible eflects bad to be looked for. The Java earthquake was such cause. As the convulsions or na ture attending that outbreak were such as are witnessed but once In several centuries, the assumption was fair that ite eflects were as rare as the cause.

The Java earthquake theory has not been disproved, but another cause has been suggested. The Pons comet, which bad a single tail in 1812, has a double one now, and Pro fessor Swlft.of Warner's Obsorvatory, thinks that the changes the comet is undergoing as it approaches the sun furnish the matter which comes into our atmosphere and refracts the red ravs of tbe sun. Mr. swut is positive only In the negative that the red sunsets are not caused by earthquakes or volcatioes. Caff.

The United States Central presents the best scheme so far offered for building an independent and competitive line from San Francisco to Den ver, where it Is expected to connect with the extensive system of roads owned by tbe Chicago, Burlington and Quincy. Tbe route, as is well- known, has Us deep-water terminus at North Beach.

Thence the route is by the park to the ocean beach, which It follows to Santa Cruz. From Santa Cru the routo tends easterly across tbe Coast range and the San Joaquin valler to the Sierra, which It crosses Just south of Yoscinite. It then passes through Southern Nevada and Southern Utah to Denver. Fine agri cultural lands, an abundance of fine timber and deposits of coal and valu able minorals abound at different points along the route. Contracts are just ready to be let for grading on the Santa Cruz and Yosemite divisions and jointtock companies are beimr formed for tbe building or noteis ana founding of watering piacea at con venient distances from San Francisco, which, it Is hoped, will some day rival Branch and Cape May, The work of organization and all tbe urcliminarv details essential to so liu portant an enterprise are being pushed rapidly forward with tbe greatest energy t'Aronfcfc, A few days since the Herald con tained an account of the noble and heroic conduct of Captain Hunter, of tbe steamer Los Angeles, In rescuing Miss Harrington from a watery grave at Ventura at the risk of hia life.

Tbe account was copied far and wide, and called forth a spontaneous expression of approbation from all parts of tbe oountry but the sweetness of the con sciousness that ha bad done his whole duty in a disinterested manner bas been changed to bitter regret by a audden and unexpected sequel in San Francisco, an account of which follows, from the Santa Barbara In dependent of tbe 20th: As Captain Hunter was leaving San Francisco upon the last trip of his vessel he had notices sent bun by his company that a auit had been in stitultd against that corporation by the rescued woman for damages in tbe amount of being the loss sus tained by her through the salt water ducking her ciotnes recoiveu. lie- SDite the seeming mercenary spirit thus dlsplavea, me worm is yet to ne told. Accomanying the legal paper was a list of items, stating tne value of hor bonnet, dress, shoes, and last but not least, her corsets. These were valued at and this Is the item that broke the Captain's heart. Tbore is a doubt left aa to whether it was the effect of the salt water or the Captain's hold upon the spray-bedewed damsel which bursted her corsets, and until that uestion is settled In a manner tending to exculate the Captain from any charge of unnecessary pressure, be will remain plunged In the depths of ray less gloom.

The lawyers who were engaged to fight the ord nance claim that they were engaged to test the constitutionality of the county government bill end certain sectiunsof the Political cede; tnal in other coun ties where they have been engaged this issue is being contested, and that the money should remain on de posit until those cases sre decided- if they (tbe lawyers) win, to receive the money dejiosited; if they lose the money to be paid back.

The county association does not know what to do in the matter, but the Watsonville members of the association sre in favor of paying back to the traders, and we believe the money will soon be paid back. l-etter Remaining In the Felton Poatofflce, January 5, 18.1: Brown, TbosHB IMereure.
