owned nv Mr.. P. Arlington, and occupied asa
LODGING house. The room where the FIRE
originated had no fire in it during the day.
The occupants Of the room were absent at
the the time. Mrs. Arlington was the first to
discover the FIRE and gave the alarm, and in
making m attempt to save some OF the pro-
per,y she exposed herself so much that the
net took FIRE and was entirely consume, burn
ing her head and face badly. The first build
ing that caught was entirely destroyed, aud
finally the FIRE spread to an adjoining building.
The fire made rapid progress on the other
building, but at this ~juncture No. 4, which
was fed BY No. 5. which was fed BY No. 2, the
water having to be taken from the cistern on

empty, and before the " boy" could do any
thing in the way Of finding another, the fire

RuSAwAY.-Yesserday evening atabout
o'clock. As DR.. CASTOR was returning
ur,t
home from Virginia City to Gold Hill,
by some means his horses, when in the
vicinity Of the old engine house Of No. 6,
on the Divide. became frightened and ran
away. The horses were reigned TO the
lief, side Of the street, and in attempting to
pass between the buildings and a large
quartz wagon that stood On the street.
The RICH, hind wheel Of the buggy came
in contact with the wagon, completely
demolishing the wheel Of the buggy and
throwing the Doctor from his seat and
i%njuring him quite severely. The horses
tore loose from the buggy, but were
caught, one being considerably hurt. The
Doctor was carried 10 the Ashland House,
and when we arrived on the ground we
found Drs. McMeans, Briarly and Weber
in attendance. Shortly after our arrival
the Doctor was put into a buggy Win
Mr.. Blanchard and brought home.
MEETING on SATURDAY NIGHr.-lhe
Second Ward Union Club Of Gold Hill
had a rousing meeting on last Saturday
evening a, Armory Hall. The Hal! was
literally packed with the Union men OF
lower Gold Hlll-the occasion being en-
liyened with music from Welton's Martial
Rand. bonfres, etc. Considering that the
meeting was gotten up within about
two hours notice, IL certainly was the
larges, inlpromptw gathering yet held IN
Gold Hill. Speeches were made by hon.
Charles E. belong, Hon. ]. S. Singer
land, candidate for Lieutenant-G Governor,
and ". W. Bishop. candidate for District
Attorney. All the speakers were warmly
received; and their speeches, which were
fully up to the great questions OF the day
were frequently and heartily a~pplauded.
Lower Gold Hill is all safe for a hand
some Union majority tomorrow.
A NuIsAScE.-The head Of c street,
Virginia, on the Divide, is perhaps one Of
the mos, travelled t~horoughfares III the
county, and at the same time there is not
highway in the whole State that is so
thoroughly blockaded by wagons as that
poin, during the night. Tesmsters drive
their huge wagons up on the sides OF the
street and leave them standing there dur
ing the night, until il is almost an impos-
sibility 70 pass along. Had the street
been clear, the accident to DR.. CASTOR
would never have occurred. II there IS
an ordinance against allowing wagons to
remain in the street, why not enforce II:
The nuisance is in Virginia and Gold
Hill. There Is certainly plenty OF room
outside Of the street on which TO stand
wagons. without leaving them on the
principal street. Will Chief Edwards and
Marshal Began abate the nuisance?
CRY DIREcroRY.-Being thoroughly
posted in regard TO certain places where
the bes, OF election drinks are 10 be dealt
out on ,o.morrow, we will give the read
er, Of the News the benefit Of our knowl-
edge. The Exchange Saloon, everybody
knows this place of resort for all who
wish a square drink and q fancy lunch.
Finch's Saloon. opposite the polls, where
they keep an article that never makes a
name hair pull. Hoeys' sample rooms,
opposite Judge Halls Office, where you
can pe, ANYTHING you wish. White &
Mtchelrs Billiard Saloon, where sam
Boose makes all kinds Of mixtures calcu-
lated TO make men love their n~eighoors
and their country.
PRESERVE THE PEAcE.-As tonight will
be the regular meeting Of the Board Of Trus-
tees, we presume some action will DC taken
providing for an additional number OF special
poIicrmen for the First and Second Wards
81 Gold Hill, to preserve the peace on cleo
ZION day. The contest is becoming very ex-
citing. and breaches OF the peace Will be
bes, prevented BY having an adequate force
Of efficient policemen stationed where they
NAV be most needed. No doubt the Board
of Aldermen Of Virginia city will adopt a
similar measure. We want to see no hght.
ing, shooting, stabbing, or other VIOLATIONS OF
the law. Furthermore, we hope 70 see each
Board OF Judges Of Election properly pro-
tected against an old trick OF the Democracy
that of breaking up the ballot 6oreS. Let
there be plenty Of armed policemen stationed
around each place Of holding the polls.
LAST BENzPrr.-Lsst evening, at the
Opera House, Max Walter took a farewell
bsnef, prior to leaving for San Francisco.
The performances was n Of the best ever
given in the city. Max Walter, so long a
resident of Virginia, and who for so many
years has used his endeavors TO please the
public in the way Of furnishing the good
theatrical and melodeon talent on the
coast, goes to San Francisco, and we be-
speak for him tina, success that his perse-
vering energy justly merits.
The PLAcE.-As tomorrow is the cleo
ton, and a grea, many persons will re-
ouire some s,imulant, We would advise
them to 90 to the International Saloon, as
Charley White has, without doubt, the
pures. brands Of liquors to be found any
place in Virginia City.
