He did not gel sny further than the nine-mile post, however, ns his lever tar could not gti beyond that point. To get even that far was a great deal of trouble, as It was necessary to get over the washouts encountered as best they might, while s way had to be cut or cleared more than once ghrough debris that had been swept across the track by the tide. Since he bad taken the trip of the day before. Superiuwndcut Saussy knew what the condition of the road this side of the nlnt-mile post was. A car was waiting for him, according to his Instructions, at that point, and on his arrival there he boarded It and came back to the city. He had been on « pretty rough trip, having mart* his way from theroadbed out to the washed-away track at several places. He got together data that will enable the engineering department to form a correct, estimate of what, repairs will be needed. Hands will be started at work at once in making these. From the nin«-mile post in to tho one-mile post the track is free from any "big washouts. There are a num ber of small ones that can be fixed without great delay. At the one-mile post there is rather a troublesome piace some forty feet In length and five deed In the yards there are several bad places, one of them being as much as 150 feet long. Both the main track and siding are washed out, and the track was taken from the sld'.ng and placed by the receding tide on top or the main track. This place and Oth ers will have to lie “cribbed up" to ad mit the passage of cars until sand can lie procured to fill them In., When the lever car made its way down day before yesterday, two or three big logs had to be cut out of the way.

JOAQUIN MILLER S TOMB The Latest Work of the Poet of the Sisrras. San Francisco, Oct. 5. —Joaquin Miller, the Puet of tho Sierras, has I done many things to mark him as a I man of rare eccentricity, and as a l:u' I crowning act of bla strange career he : has perfected all arrangements for bis •own funeral and tho Incineration of his mortal remains when bis soul shall have escaped U> the great beyond. On the top of a sterile eminence In the hills back of Frultval*. Alameda coun.y. so a solid mass of masonry, covering * space ten feet squme and I standing eight feet high. It Is cotn- I posed of 620 huge gravilte boulders set j in cement and calculated to endure for j centuries. The queer structure In op | progched by three Immense steps laid across the entire west frontage, and of 1 sufficient height to permit the bearers to place the body on top of the heap. The upper surface is hollowed out -o a depth of two feet In the shape of n ; coffin. Six feet to the north of the ma sour tomb lies a great brown boulder v.eiglrtig probably two tons. The sur face has been smoothed off. and upon its f.vce In large white letters bar. necu carefully printed this Inscription. "TO THE UNKNOWN.” This Is the only epitaph tbit wl’l will grace the spot. Miller when asked about the tomb sajd: “ft is my Idea of the way in which f wish to lie disposed of. Whi n !lf<3 is ever I shall be cremated here in the surroundings which I love. I want no burial. I own these eighteen lui.n dred acres and why should I be burled out of them. There on that eminence, I shu I abide forever and sha'i make no p: c.eneo at. keeping my name and story where it. can always be seen. In fact nothing will be writen there but the words, 'To The Unknown.”' The tomb has been »o constructed that a draft wilt fan the flame< and the, ashes of the poet will ming!■* with the ashes of the fagots and he scatter ed to the winds.

The Story They Tell. As his friends lell the story, he feared the division hospital, and its ac tual or Imaginary horrors, and ho stayed at his post. Meanwhile his temperature rose. One day it was 104 degrees,and his temples wete throbbing and his brain on fire. Still ho dared not complain, though suffering the ag onies of the damned. The night he was selected for picket duty, and, al though he could scarcely drag one foot before the other, he shouldered his musket and obeyed the command. Two hours -later an officer found him lying on the ground asleep, as lie thought, but really exhausted by the burning fever running through bis veins. He was awakened with a kick and a curse, driven to the camp, and the next day arraigned for punishmeDt.
