Sherlm OF Amador Stabbed by N Fancy
Woman while making an Arrest.

JACKSON, Nov. Sd.
On Friday night of last week, an affray
occurred in Jackson that resulted in the
stabbing of Sheriff Paugh, by prostitute
known by the name of Fanny. 1t seems that
one Mick Parr, who is Fanny's fancy man,
and who has lived at her expense some time,
got on spree and commenced firing at the
camphene lamps In a gambling house. He
hit one, which caused the camphene to spill
on the floor and take fire. This caused an
alarm, which greatly excited the people in
town. This was about IL o'clock at night.
Several individuals went for the Sheriff to ar
rest Parr. BY the time the Sheriff had ar
rived at the scene, the friends of Parr had got
him into the room of Fanny, his woman.
The Sheriff, on entering the room, was re-
sisted by Parr, who still retained his revolver,
a large six shooter, and while the Sheriff and
Parr were together, the Sheriff trying to
remove Parr from the room, Fanny came
forward and stabbed the Sheriff twice in the
left shoulder, one of the cuts going through
the shoulder blade. Parr and Fanny were
botha arrested and put in Jail. The Sheriff
was taken to his rooms and attended by DR..
Coward He is now out of danger, but still
confined to his bed. Parr has been tried be.
fore Justice of the Peace, the Prosecuting
Attorney only preferring charge of misde-
meanor against him, to which Parr plead
guilty As there was no evideace before the
Court to show the enormity of the offense,
the Court fined him S25 and discharged bin
before another charge could be made out.
The money was contributed by PARIS friends
to pay the fine, and he Immediately left
town. The woman is still in Jail, hut will
probably be discharged without hearing,
as she is not considered as much to blame as
Parr was The District Attorney has not
preferred any charge against her as yet. The
respectable part of the community are very
indignant at the whole transaction.-U Union

PHENOMENON IN UTAH.-A correspondent
says: We noticed whilst out riding in this
valley, recently, a phenomenon which, we
were informed, is very common in this coun-
try-namely, spouts, or columns of dust, ris-
ing from the ground as far up as the eye can
reach. The one we saw formed by whirl
wind, which gradually caused it to rise until
its summit disappeared among the clouds. 1t
appeared to be about the size, in circumfer-
ence, of an ordinary hogshead, and did not
vary in diameter About midday there was
a long, graceful curve in this slender pillar,
which seemed to connect the heavens and
the earth. 1t maintained its position about
five minutes, and then rapidly disappeared.
These dust spouts are formed in the same
manner as the water spouts upon the ocean
although the dust, from its light character
rises more rapidly and to a greater height

EASTERN SHORE RAILROAD

BY an act passed in 1886, usually called the Eight
Million Bill twas provided that so soon as it should
appear to the Governor that the subscription to the
capital stock of the Eastern Shore Railroad Com
pany, including the subscription thereby authorized
on the part of the State would be sufficient to con-
struct said road the Treasurer was authorized to
subscribe for ten thousand shares of the stock of the
company, amounting to a million of dollars; prov-
until an equal proportional amount should be paid
by the other stockholders; and it was further pro-
vided, that in case the stock of the Eastern Shore
Railroad should not be subscribed to an amount suf
fcient to commence said road, by individuals or
corporations, then, and in that case the million of
dollars set apart and intended to be applied to said
work, should be held sacred, and the faith of the
State was pledged that the said million of dollars
should be applied to the exclusive purpose of inter
nal Improvement on the Eastern Shore, and for no
other purpose; and that it should be subject to dis
position by any future Legislature for that purpose
after the time should have expired for commencing
the work
Under this provision the Treasurer subscribed for
the stock, and several hundred thousand dollars was
actually paid by instaments on the part of the
State, and as much, we suppose, by Individuals
But the work soon abandoned.
1t is now contended that the States faith thus
pledged, requires the payment of the balance re-
naming unpaid, in proportionate sums to the East
ern Shore Counties for internal improvements
The bill for carrying out this view of the
States liability has been before the Legislature
during nearly the whole of the session. and was re-
jectcd in the Senate the day before yesterday. 1t
has, however, been recommtted. The question in
volved is an interesting one, and has naturally ex-
cited great feeling among our Eastern Shore
friends

There are now before both branches of the State
Legislature various measures which contemplate
radical and fundamental changes in many import
ant branches of law They do not amount to
congruous revision of the statutes of the State with
a view to rendering the body of the State law more
perspicuous, simple and effective-but they tend to
change the common law and the practice under it
in many material respects. Whether the changes
have been dgested with the caution and intelligence
which are due to a subject of such transcendent
importance we do not know-but what we fear is
that the Legislature impatient of the consideration
be dry and unentertaining to most of the members,
will adopt the whole body of the proposed reforms
without any sort of deliberation.
Weknow that there are members of both houses
thoroughly inclined to give the most respectful
hearing to the propositions which have been sub
mitted, who are greatly concerned at the imminent
danger we are in of introducing innovations which
will prove extremely injurious to society.
II seems to us that there is no occasion for haste
in dispatching questions of such radical import-
ance. The law as it now stands is if well adj
ministered ample for the protection of life and
property. The constitution limits the session of
the Legislature to the 10th of March, and it is OBJ
yious that there cannot be any adequate opportun-
ity, from this time to that day. to discuss these
great proposed reforms Tt would be- on every ac-
count, wiser to refer them to commission of COM
