TIE FRENCH -PRUsSIAN WAR.
What is Doing.

LONDON, August l6.-Two great battles
were fought on Sunday, one at PONCE, eight
miles east of Metz, and the other at Longe-
vile. The first encounter occurred before
the French had drawn off their forces to
cross the Moseile by the bridge. connecting
with the works of Metz The Pfussans as
sailed the French ia their rear guard furi-
ously, pushing them to the very verge of
the works of the fortress. The French sue
ceeded in effecting lodgment behind the
entertainments Here the French made a
determined stand, and resisted the Prus-
sian assault The second contest then en-
sued, which resulted in the repulse of the
Prussians in an almost hand to hand cncoun-
ter upon the walls of the outer line of works
The Prussians, though stubbornly contes-
ting their ground, were beaten off by los
tile masses, supported by the Notifications.
HENRY, August Is, Evening = esterday
the Prussians attacked the French outside
their entrenchment. at Metz, with great vi
olence. The French line was broken, and
their forces driven into Metz. The French
loss was 1900. King William yesterday
made reconnaissance for several hours.
He penetrated the French outposts without
encountering any demonstration on the part
of the French.
BERLIN, August 16.-The following ad-
ditional particulars of the second battle near
Metz, were received late last night Late
In the afternoon of Monday. the First and
Seventh Pcussian Army Corps, vigorously
attacked the French forces under the walls
of Metz, when a sanguinary conflict ensued.
the French being driven within the city,
with a loss of 1000 men. On the same day
grand reconnaissance, under command of
King William in person, maintained itself
for some hours within two lines of the
French defenses, without any effort on the
part of the French to di.lodgeit. This fact
shows the utter decentralization of the French
army.

BASEBALL TRoUBLEs.2The Silver Star club,
Of Carson, evidently does not like the idea OF
coming to Elko to play the Striped Stockings
club, as the trip would necessarily be attended
with considerable expense, and neither does
our club see why they should go 70 Carson,
they being the challenged party. It does not
appear right that the oldest club should have
the preference Of the ground. The Silver
Stars claim to be the champions of the State,
at times, and then again they deny that they
are the champions, and say that it is only q
title applied by the people because they did
challenge any nine in the State, and were re-
sponded to by nine, whom they conquered
twice. The question as to which party has
the right TO select the field has been submitted
to the Chairman OF the Committee on Rules
Of the National Association Of Baseball Play
ers, and both parties cypress their willingness
10 abide by his decision. The members Of
both clubs are anxious to come together and
see which are really entitled to be termed the
champion club of the State. There will be 10
difficulty in arranging for the match some
time during the Summer, when the obstacle
now In the way isremoved, by q decision from
the proper authority. .. ....... ..... .

Wines d Co.'S coach, that LETT here at half
past six O'Clock last Sunday evening, wa
stopped by three knights of the road when
about two miles from town. Between the
two submits of the low range east of town
the grade descends, and the team had lust
turned to ascend from the bottom Of the M
vine, when three armed footpads stepped
noiselessly from ambush, presented their
arms, and demanded Wells, Fargo & Co. 5
treasure box. Charley Haynes, the driver,
saw the situation, and knew that the only al
Tentative was to pass out the package called
for. On the inside were seven passengers,
and one on the box named Charley Robinson.
One Of the robbers stood at the head OF the
leaders and the other two at the side OF the
coach. Their demand being peaceably com.
piled with, they gave an order to drive on.
The box, containing SO, 800 in coin, was bfok-
en- open and left by the side of the road.
The transaction has been kept quiet, and dill
ligent search instituted for the robbers, but
so far it has been fruitless. with the excep-
ton Of obtaining pretty good clue to the
whereabouts of some Of the gang. They
must have gone out from town, and had a
