THE EVENING NEWS.

Aricki Marshal Perry, Mr.. 1nomas feaSley
and Mr., Lew. Hardel were coming up from
Carson. they were stopped by a couple OF
hichwavmen. They encountered the , rob-
bers on the road which passes to the west OF
Empire Civ, about mile and half below
the Half Wav House. The robbers were
armed with double barreled shot-guns and
wore masks on their faces. The gentlemen
were in two buggieS and on being stopped
told the robbers they had no money for them,
but we're ready to give them fight II they
wished TO try them round. The roooers
evidently recognized the party, ana saw
there was d better chance for bullets than
twenties; as thev told them topaSS on. what
fix we should have been irt if these two I'M
nrincinled men with black masks on their
faces had carried off our Mayor and City Mar
shall, shutting them up i'll some old shaft or
tunnel and refusing to return them to us
without we would come out with $500 IN
city scrip for the ransom Of each one of them
Il Enterprise.
GIVE THE DEVIL HIS DUE.-We have
pitched into Mr.. Strong, Superintendent OF
the Gould s. Curry promiScuously, Of late,
in the matter of the B street grade, and, al
though we don't take back a word of what
we said heretofore, we are always ready with
word of praise for laudable action. The
Improvements of this company had been as
sessed SS0O,000. But, Mr. Strong went be-
fore the Board of Equalization and informed
them that in case that amount was increased
1896, 900, the company would not grumble.-
This action is certainly very liberal and I'M
precedented in the history of wealthy corpo-
rations.
YE BuHNER.-The Enterprise of this
morning says that quite number Of the Vir-
ginia Bummers are coming down to Gold
Hill to test the fare of Marshal Arnold's hote
de nile They had better $50 Slow" for the
pie(a)tv of our calaboose is only temporary,
in consequence of 4 new lock being placed
on a neighboring hen-rooSt-and Judge KEEL
log is awful in fning bummers. Those
twenty reporters and policemen at Virginia,
who have sent the TAILOR word that they
are coming down to get into "limbo," had
better not try the experiment.
GOING FROM Town SHoPPING.-One day
last week, a lady of Gold Hill went to Eir-
ginia to do little shopping. AS might have
been expected, she lost a portmonnaie, con-
tanning $50 of "pin-money," by leaving 1t
living on the counter of the store where she
was buving her goods. Now, we do not wish
to say ANYTHING against the Virginia store
keepers, but we do think that any lady who
would pass such splendid stock OF goods as
Frankenheimer & Co., in Gold Hill, have, to
do her shopping in Virginia, ought to lose
her purse.
2,O35 PorSDs.-The weight of silver bars
shipped to California by Wells, Fargo & Co.
on Sunday and Monday, amounted to 2,035
hounds. Such constant influx Of wealth
into the lap of San Francisco, to be sent
thence TO the Eastern cities, is having pow
erful influence in opening the eyes Of the
world to the untold mineral wealth which ex-
lists in the States and Territories bordering
upon the Pacific.
RUMoRED MURpERS.-A man arrived IN
town to-day, on horseback. from Carson, and
informed several of our citizens that party
of highwavmen had murdered two travellers
on the road between Carson and Empire
CITY. We did not see the nun personally,
and as the scene of the alleged tragedy is laid
so near Dutch Nick's," the suppoSititious
residence of the mythical Hopkins, we place
no reliance in the rumOr.
ISConPoRArED.-The following certificate
o: incorporation was filed in the office of the
County Clerk of Storey county, Yesterday:

UNION CENTRAL COMMITTEE-There was
a meeting of the Union Central Committee
OF Storey county to-day, for the purpose Of

precluded US from getting their proceedings
in time for publication to-day.
THEALL & Co. received 5,O55 ounces of
bullion at their assay Office in Virginia, the
vulue of which was about $4,000. This lot
was from the Belcher mine; and towards
evening another lot of $50 ounces was re-
ceived and run into bar-probable value,
$1,000.
BULLION FOR The MoSTH.-During the
month of November Wells, Fargo & Co.
shipped S746,75l from their Office in Vir-
ginia, weighing nearly twenty tons. 1t
should be borne in mind in this connection
that this is only about two-thirds of the &C
tual value of the bullion shipped.
Gov. NYE paid the washoe Guards visit
at their Armory last evening. The Governor

vest and noblest General, .. S. Grant.
Nr1sANcE.-The street main in front of
