the District Court Room, in Virginia, and
the room was densely crowded. Mr..
Woodbum the President called the meet
ing to order. and stated that circumstances
compelled him to tender his resignation.
On motion the resignation was accepted,
and the following gentlemen were NOM
mated for the office of President; James
I. Parker, Geo. B. Johnston, Mr.. Galway,
and Terence Masterson. Messrs. John
ston, Masterson and Galway, declined the
nomination. The election for President
then took place, and Mr.. James I. Parker
having received a majority of all the votes
cast was declared duly elected. On mo-
ton of Mr.. G.. II. Ingalls,, Mr.. Parker's
election was made unanimous. Mr.. Par
ker was escorted to the Chair by Mr..
Woodburn, and took his seat as Pres
ident of the League. The League then
returned vote of thanks to Mr..
Woodburn, for his able and efficient
services as President of the League.
A visiting committee appointed at the last
meeting Of the League, made a report, of
which we can give only an abstract. The
Committee have visited nearly every mine
and mill in Storey county, and the results
of their observations are as follows "a
small proportion only of the members of
the League are at present employed in the
various mines and mills, and the Commit
tee wish to call attention to a few facts
they deem important. In some few of the
large mines, men who are aliens, and who
come here only to hoard their gains, in
order to carry them back to their native
land, are employed in preference to the
American born or naturalized citizen, and
the Committee think it unjust and wrong,
that these men who owe TO the action Of
the League the advance of about dollar
day to their wages, should crowd out
the very men to whom they are in
debted for their increased pay.
This state of affairs is owing to the fact,
that these aliens never opposed the CAPT
talists in their reduction of the wages of
the working man, and these same men to-
day would now be working COR three dol
lars per day were it not for the action of
the very men who are now out of employ
ment. In the judgment of the Commit
tee, il would be vastly more beneficial for
Nevada if men are employed in its mines
and mills who are citizens, and identified
with the prosperity of the country" The
Committee was composed of MesSrs. p.
II. Burke, B. O'Reilly and D. ]. McClel-
Ian. \ vote of thanks was given to the
Committee BY the League, and they were
discharged. A resolution was passed by
the meeting authorizing committee to
notify the employees of the mills and mines
of Storey county, that no person not a
member of the League shall be permitted
70 labor in the mills and mines after
Tuesday, the 9th of Sept. inst. Messrs,
Morris, Mcclellan and Burke were ap-
pointed asid committee. 1t was also re-
solved that if any member refuse to turn
out when called upon to do so by the
President. he shall be fined $40, and in
default of payment of the fine be expelled
from the LEAGUE. On motion, the League
adjourned TO meet on the 9th inst, at I
o'block P. NJ. Our thanks are due to the
gentlemanly Secretary, Mr.. Masterson,
for facilities afforded us to learn the pro-
ceedings.
A SMAsH-UP.-As Mr.. W. II. Claget,t
of Virginia, was returning from Carson
City, on Saturday evening, in two-horse
buggy with his wife and child, he met
with very narrow escape from serious
injury. He had reached the road at the
southern end of American Flat, and had
Just commenced descending towards Rig
by's Mill, when the coupling of the buggy
pole with the front axle on one side broke,
which let the buggy run on the horses
heels, who commenced kicking and run
ming. Mr.. Claget drew the horses into
the bank on the side of the road, in hopes
of stopping them, but they were too frac-
tious, and in their struggles upset the
buggy-throwing the whole party out
very violently and dragging the buggy
some distance, when the other side of the
coupling broke, and the horses ran of
with the pole and its fixtures. As the
animals belonged to Livery Stable in
Virginia, we presume they reached home
If not considerably injured, they must GER
tainly have been scared and tired out after
their run of three miles with the pole
dangling around their legs. Mr.. and Mrs.
Claget were considerably bruised and
stunned by the sad mishap. and were
kindly taken care of in a house near by,
until Sunday morning, when a carriage
was sent to them, and they were conveyed
10 their home in Virginia. The baby
(bless the dear little sugar-lump .)-en-
tirely escaped injury, and seemed uncon-
scious of any mishap. The mother re-
ceived the unlocked for blows and bruises.
All, what true mother would not throw
herself between the danger of death and
her babe:
ANOTHER ROBBERY. - The Enterprise
says Day before yesterday in the even

some 600 pounds in all, that he wished

time producing a paper which he said

out his hand to draw his brake, wnen ne
was knocked down and his money taken.

depth of about $50 feet, and exists in con-
siderable quantities. This mine is under
the charge of first rate managers, who,
we feel certain, will make the Yellow
Jacket mine shell out gold and silver dol
