ham. Jaegar is lodged In the county
jail, having been bound over by Re
corder Gates, in bonds of 8200 to await
the action of the grand jury, the

blowlDf of whistles and ringing of
bells, at 6:30 p. m. Tba citizens who
have' been watching the rapid pro
gress of tbe work under numerous
tryiog circumstances,, the worst of all
being the cold weather and frozen
ground, during tbe past 10 days, could
scarcely wait for the time when they
could say without doubt. "We have a
railroad." The men who so faithfully
carried on tbe work, despite the In
clement weather, were, that evening
treated to a royal spread at the city
hotel given by tbe rallrOad company.
Dr. O. D. Doane, who was in port-
land yesterday assisting ia an opera
tion whclb was performed on Jasi W.
Blakeney'a .leg,, which was broken
several months ago, returned borne
last night. He Informs us that it was
an oblique fracture and as some mus
cular tissue got between the broken
fragments tbe bone only partially
bealed. Itwaa necessary for tbe sur
geons to make an Incision and scrape
the bone and reset It binding It to
gether wltb wires. The operation
was very difficult on lasting over
two and one-half hours, during which
time tbe patient was under anaesthetics.
Last evening W; C. Aliaway and
Captain Sherman . returned from
Stanley's Rock where in company with
W. B. Bates, superintendent of - the
Marine Iron Works, tbey were Inspec
ting the machinery of ' the Inland
Flyer. Mr. Bates has no doubt about
tbe engines having sufficient power
to run a much larger boat, and is
certain tbat wltb a few changes every
thing will prove satisfactory: A
larger propeller will be used and a
beater will also be put in which will
aid in keeping up a larger bead of
steam; It may be also i necessary to
put In a condenser and when these
improvements are completed ;tbe
doubt of many wbo think tbe Flyer
would not prove a success ' will be
dispelled. . : ...
A bold robbery was committed at
