THE EVENING NEWS.

between Pat Lannan and a man named
Jones. The difficulty arose in some mis-
understanding about "shoulder-strik-
ing" The timely interference of Judge
Murray prevented blood-shed. The par
ties, however, separated very sayagely
and rumor has it this morning on the
streets Of Virginia that q challenge has
passed between them, and that Lannan
has accepted. We trust Chief Edwards
will keep a sharp eye on them between
now and tomorrow morning at FIVE
o'clock. Seven mile canon, lear the
north end, is said to be the place selected
to settle the "hash." We want no
more bloodshed by the duello. This
barbarian custom should be stopped.
Let friends interfere this very night and
put a stop to this cold-blooded attempt
on the lives Of people. Mr.. Lannan is a
man Of family, and a worthy citizen
but not being a coward, he feels a mat
ter of honor as sensibly as anybody. Let
this matter be stopped. We call on the
authorities to stop it. There are muir
derers and stage-robbers enough al
ready in our county Jail; and we do not
want the pure atmosphere Of Washoe
~disgraced by another duel.
SABBATH ScHooL.-0n yesrday afte-
ternoon we dropped in for q short time
at the new Presbyterian Church on c
street, Virginia. At the time Of our
visit the Sabbath School was in session.
The school is a very interesting one but
not near as large as it should be in a
place where there are as many children
as there are in Virginia. The school
meets Immediately after forenoon ser
vice, and ut an hour when there is 10
other school. For a long time past
both divine services and Sabbath School
were held in the Court House, from the
fact that the denomination had no
church of their own. But now they
have decidedly the neatest church in
the city, and n Of the most comfort
able. The seats are nicely cushioned,
and the large stove keeps the room very
comfortable in every part Of it. Now
that they have such a nice place to hold
school in, and as the school is being
thoroughly re-organized, and as there
are a great many excellent teachers
ready to take charge of the children
that may come in, let every young man,
young lady, little boy and little girl
who can, 90 on next Sabbath and be-
come a member of this school. We are
requested TO state that they are wanted
there next Sabbath at least.
STRUCK WArER.-This morning the
Cole Co. in their tunnel struck an i'm |
mense body of water. This company
have been supplying the Water Com
panies with u great deal of water for
some time past, for which they receive
$40 per inch. The body struck this
morning is said to be no less than 100
inches, driving the men from the tunnel
and sweeping down through Carson
street like a river, carrying every thing
before it. 1t would be n great benefit
to our mines if it would continue to
flow as much water at all times as it
does now, but such will hardly be the
case as many heavy deposits of a SINH.
lar character have been struck in our
mines and after a few days pumping
have been exhausted. How this will
terminate remains TO be seen, but II IS
to be hoped the waters in this instance
will continue.
PERRY L IRwIx's.-There is a first
class saloon on c street, Virginia city,
right opposite the Post office, known as
Perry l. Twins, where are kept some of
the very choicest and oldest vintages OF
wines, brandies and WHISTLES to be
found in that goodly city of Virginia.
Messrs. Perry & Irwin are well acquaint-
ed with the style of business they are
engaged in. From personal observa-
ton, we know that their 'Krug' cham
payne, their old Otard brandy, and their
genuine Old Bourbon, is equal to any
thing we have ever INDUCED. Anybody
having doubts on this point, can just
call in at this office, on p~retense Of max
ing a New Years visit and sample the
article.
THE wEArHER.-For the last week
the weather has been very changable.
One day of sunshine and W Of storm;
for the past two days it has been trying
to snow, but as yet not more b an
inch has fallen. The roads are in ex-
cellent condition to receive a snow, be-
ing frozen up and worn down until they
are quite smooth. Some good sleighing
would be highly appreciated by u
citizens il the clerk of the weather
would confer q favor and send along a
foot or two of the necessary article.
PIpER's BABY.-This morning there
was standing on the counter, in Piper's
saloon, a large doll baby, dressed in
silk Of red, white and blue colors. The
doll was put up at rattle for $50, and
won by Henry Piper. 1t is almost as
natural as life, only it has no water
fall" From the way Henry is paying
his attentions to a certain fair one, we
think he will soon be in a position to
beat this one. We wish you success,
Henry.
WIDOW MELSorrE.-There was a poor,
forlorn lady with this name seen in Vir-
ginia city on Saturday night by quite a
number Of ladies and gentlemen, who
all conceded that she had better get
married. Her ways were very interest
demonstrating that she is supposed
to be a widow Of a dozen years stand
ing. She says she came up from Lyons,
somewhere near the groves Of Como.
