THE EVENING NEWS.
SUDDEN AND MYsrER1ous DEArH.-Las,

Hill. From her husband we gather tn,
following particulars /: He left her at hom,
in Virginia last evening at FIVE o'clock
well, as far as he knew, with the excep
ton Of a slight cold. While at work il
the Savage mine. he heard that a woman
wife OF an employee Of the Savage Com
pany, had suddenly died at Gold Hill
he, however, never supposed 1t to be hi:
wife, and thought no more Of 1t until this
morning, when he came back to his home
and found his three children, but his wife
missing. After due search for her with.
out success, he went TO the Savage claim
and inquired more particularly about the
death OF which he had heard during the
night. When he had asCertained where
it occurred he came down to Madam L.
A. Moore's, where, as 500 as he saw the
body, at once recognized it as that of his
wife. Mr.. Graney and his wife had been
married nire years. He is q native OF
Ireland she Of Wisconsin. They came
from Grant county. Wis, in the year
1860. The first year they resided in the
Carson Valley, subsequently in Silver
City, and since so in Virginia City.
They have three children, aged respective
ly, six, four. and two years. Madam
Moore, who is u notorious prostitute and
abortionist, and who was so drunk this
morning that little information could be
gathered from her, says that the woman
came TO her house last evening, about S or
. o'clock, Just after she had gone TO bed.
Upon her admission into the house she
said she wished an abortion produced,
and while talking concerning it sat down
on the bed. She had been there but a
few minutes when she was taken with
symptoms of violent illness, and soon died.
As soon as such symptoms were indicated
Madam Moore raised an cutlery. which
speedily brought several persons to the
house. one of whom Immediately ran for
the doctor. DR.. Weber was called. and
he appeared in a few moments, but not
until after she was dead. The police were
called, and took charge o. the body, and
have had it in custody up to the present
time. DR.. Tucker was telegraphed to
early this morning, but he did not arrive
at the place where the woman died until
half-pas II N. 4 Coroner's jury was
summoned and sworn. and ordered to
NEE, at the Justices office at 3 o'clock P.
n. to hear the testimony. An autopsy of
the body was then held by Drs. Tucker,
Bronson and Weber, which resulted in
discovering no cause for death. The con-
tents Of the stomach are held for analyti-
cal examination should, the jury consider
il necessary to make one. Mrs. Graney
was a good looking woman, about 25
years old. Her husband, as far as we can
learn. is an industrious, steady man. He
and Mrs. Moore are in custody Of the
officers, awaiting the result Of the Coro-
ner's inquest. The death Of the woman is
strange and the whole affair shrouded in
mystery.
Man KILLED. - This morning, about
half-past IL o'clock, a Cornishman, whose
name we were unable to ascertain, was in
stantly killed at the Sierra Nevada works,
Virginia, in this wise: He was running
4 car on top of the ground, and was bring
ing in the car from the dump, and proba-
bly, supposing the cage to be at the top Of
the shaft, whereas it had been let down.
ran the car into the shaft and by keeping
his hold was drawn in himself. He 'ell
nearly three hundred feet, manSling him
dreadfully, and of course killing him in
stantly. It was one of those sad accidents
which happen from sheer carelessness and
thoughtlessuess. No blame can be at
tached to any one but himself.
On THE WAY.-This morning Mr.. Geo.
Hunt left Virginia for San Antonio Dis
,,ict. to superintend the erection Of his
mill. the machinery for which left here
two days since. The work will be pushed
with all celebrity, and in thirty days Mr..
Hunt hopes TO hear the CHATTER Of the
stamps. Furnaces will be built for roast
ing the ores, which are to be worked by
the Frieberg process. We wish Mr.. Hunt
success, for he is IN e~nterprising gentle
man. who thoroughly understands his
business, and his mill will aid much IN
the development Of the rich mineral coun-
try beyond Smoky Valley.
AwAxE.-The Union men Of Virginia
are awakening to the fact that a thorough
organization for the fall campaign is ne
ceSsary, and the First, Second and Third
Ward Clubs have already commenced
work. IT'S we'll. for although the foe was
. trampled to dust and beaten with a thou
sand scourges, yet, h~ydra-headed and
venom-fansed, he rears his copper crest
and is again ~wriggling for the fight.
Unionists cannot be too v~igilant, and an
early move is the best for the success OF a
holy cause.
