THE EVENING NEWS.

President, and ]. F. Hutton, as Secretary.
\ report of the committee chosen on Sa-
,urday evening was called for. Hon. J.
A.. Collins. the Chairman of the Com
mittee, after making few remarks, read
the report, the extreme length of which
forbids publication. Suffice it to say, the
whole tenor thereof was severe censure
upon the action of our Legislature, and
upon MesSrs. Clagett and Cutter parti-
cularly. Upon motion and agreement,
the report was Just previous to adjourn
ment, adopted. Mr.. Hllyer opposed the
adoption of the report. and agreed in favor
of our Legislature. Upon the conclusion
OF Mr.. Hillyer's remarks, loud calls were
made for Collins and Clagett, amidst al
most deafening confusion. Mr.. Collins
responded and wished to hear from Mr..
ClaSett; he thought the people had no
right to disturb the meeting, and was sur
prised to hear Mr.. Hillyer express him.
self as he had done, and made an extend
ed speech against the Charter Act gen.
orally. Hon. w. H. Clagett, after loud
calls. spoke in digni6ed manner, only
asking that which was right and not fear
ing any wrong. He said the Chairman
OF the Committee was personal enemy
on account of opposition on Clagett's part
10 Collins for the Office of United States
Senator. Here followed rush to the
door and an awful uproar, after which Or
der preyailed.) Mr.. Clagett said that
Winton urged the passage Of the bill with
indesent haste. Here Winton rushed
to the stand amidst the most horrid up
roar we have ever heard; part OF the
sovereigns rushing out and part pouring
in. Loud cries of shoot! shooti! was
heard, and things looked squally. Mr..
Clagett, after order was restored, con-
tinued his remarks and referred to Capt. |
Rowe in very uncomplimentary style, |
and also pitched in" to our contemporary,
the Virginia Union, in very harsh terms. |
He did not have any apology TO make,
and thought his course right. He thought
revolution stared the people in the face,
and that unless the bill was adopted a
Vigilance Committee would be raised in
Virginia within a short time. Mr.. Clagett
retired, and was complimented with three
cheers. Loud call was made for Winton,
who appeared amid cheers. Mr.. Winton
accused Clagett of falsehood in saying
that he (Winton) had hurried the same
through; and after making few further
remarks subsidized smong cheers. MIR.
Summer, upon call, came forward and
made some cutting remarks, severely CEN |
surfing Mr.. Winton and George F. Jones, |
and declared himself willing to offer his
body as the target of all such mems ridi-
cule. He was awfully severe upon Mr.. |
Jones, and his remarks were far from COM
plimentary. Mr.. Summers remarks were
quite lengthy, and upon the conclusion of
which, Mr.. Winton again came forward,
and said that any man who made such as |
sertions as did Col. Sumner, was das-
terdly coward; and continued in severe
terms, apparently excited to an intense
degree. Mr.. Jones then appeared, and
made extended remarks defining his po- |
sition. Mr.. Rowe appeared, and made |
direct attack upon Mr.. Clagett, stgmatiz-
ing him as villain and liar. Here MIR. |
Clagett jumped up, and said he could |
prove the truth of his assertions. Cries |
of shoot ensued. Pistols were drawn by |
parties unknown TO your reporter, and |
the crowd rushed for the door, and hell
was TO pay generally. After order |
was restored, loud calls were made for the |
question, and after the second reading of |
the resolution it was passed by a majority |
of those present. Billy Warnock then |
stated that he had been requested to bring |
members of the engine company OF which |
he was Foreman to the meeting and make !
a disturbance, but he was on the wrong |
side, and wanted the night to vote. He |
was ready to make oath to the men who
had so approach ed him. Here Clagett |
again appeared, but the crowd refused to !
hear him speak, and coughed him down |
with Kisses and groans. Mr.. Elliott made |
motion that copies Of the Committees
report be posted on the corners Of the |
streets. Which motion was lost, and |
amidst the most inextricable confusion the |
meeting adjourned. Your reporter never |
was favored with such scene before In |
his life, and for the honor of Nevada, l |
hope no such scenes will again occur.
LIBERTY HOSE No. This wide |
awake Company, having obtained per-
mission of the authorities, have taken
possession of the Town building recently |
occupied BY DR.. CASTOR, and will convert |
it to the use of the company. The small |
addition on the North side will be torn |
away, and a truck house erected, sixteen |
feet front and twenty-five feet deep. The |
main body of the building will be used as
the meeting room of the company. A full
front will be given to the whole building, |
which will then present an ornamental ap- |
pearance. The location of the building is |
most excellent for the purpose. The am
biton of the company to have everything
in ship-shape deserves commentator, and
when the ball for their benefit takes plaae,
two weeks from tomorrow, we hope our |
citizens will act literally.
CAuGHr.-James Donnery, one of the
felons who recently broke from the Peni-
Tertiary, was captured at the County
Hospital, yesterday, by Ben Lackey, who
acted under the direction of Chief Brdsall.
II seems that Donnery escaped from prison
without any clothing on his feet, and was
tracked BY officer Laekey for long dis
lance through the snow, to the County |
Hospital, where he applied for admission
under an assumed name, and as both OF
his feet were frozen, he was kindly receiv- |
ed and cared for. Yesterday, Lackey |
found and at once secured him, and ne
will shortly be sent back to his old quar-
tiers. Donnery was in the Penitentiary
on a charge of highway robbery, and is
dangerous customer.
