The SECOND WARD CLUB.-A large and
enthusiastic meeting of Republicans re-
| siding in the Second Ward was held last
evening, in the room above the Blue
Wing, for the purpose of organizing a
Ward Club for the campaign. The meet
ing was called to order by W. W. Hobart,
and ]. j. Ayers was elected temporary
President, Capt. Vim. Boyle, Vice Presi-
dent, and Judge J. G. Leconey Secretary.
Mr.. Ayers thanked the meeting for the
honor, and q committee of three on per-
manent officers was appointed. The
temporary officers were reported back as
the permanent officers, together with a
Finance Committee, and the report adopt
ed. The following gentlemen were ap-
pointed on Constitution and Bylaws, TO
report at next meeting: Wilmer Brown,
Captain William Boyle and William 7.
Hanford. On motion, Messrs. Carpen-
ter, Herrick and Bicknell were ap-
pointed a committee to confer with a
similar committee of the First Ward

the arrival Of Hon. Thos. Fitch, who il
expected here on Saturday. A commit
tee of three on the selection of a perma-

The Tolls HoMIoIDE.-The indict-
ment against John U. Toles for the muir
der of Thomas Beehnn was called up in
the District Court yesterday for trial.
The entire panel, both regular and
special, was exhausted, and eleven jurors
only passed, with the States limit of
challenges reached and two expended by
the defense. Attachments were issued
for absent jurors, from whom probably
the trial panel will be completed this
morning. The difficulty in procuring
Jurors without bias in this case, rests
upon the fact that the circumstances of
the killing, both in the act itself and the
antecedent causes which are said to have
led to ii, are SO notorious, that nearly
every man had allowed himself to either
form or express an opinion based on
statements accepted as true. Every
juror, as near as we could judge from
his answers, who was excused yesterday,
was convinced of the justification Of the
act of the accused from the facts that
took place long an~tecedent to the actual
homicide, and which will probably form
the line of defense of the prisoners
counsel, If they can succeed in bringing
them into the evidence on the trial. For
the State, District Attorney Kennedy
and Dighton Corson; for the defense,
Thos. p. Hawley and Judge Tilford.
FATAL ACCIDENT IN EuREKA.-0n Sat
urday last, q man named Henry G..
Allen was MORALLY wounded in Eureka
by an accidental shot. A foot-racer
called 'Shafie,' whose real name is
Charles II. Goodwin, ran across Main
street, in Eureka, and as he neared
Wakefield a. Co. 8 saloon, made q spring
across the gutter on to the sidewalk. As
he Jumped on the sidewalk, his pistol
fell out of his belt or back pocket, and
striking the pavement exploded. The
shot passed through the side of the
building an inch board-and struck
Allen, who vas leaning against the bar,
in the spine. Allen fingered until
is the fourth death in Eureka, and the
third from accidental pistol shots.
Allen was a man fifty years Of age, was
l..A Ea- .oc.1a-k - tEL.A. d..
and for many years lived about Sonora,
California. One Of his brothers was
killed by Indians in Arizona, and another
brother lost his life with the illfated
'Crabb party In Lower California.
When struck. Allen asked why he was
shot, and when told it was by accident,
he answered: Il guess not; guess il is
fate
ORIGINAL HIDDEN TREASURE In pass
ing around by the Original Hidden
Treasure to-day, we saw some very fine
looking ore, which attracted our atten-
ton and induced us to make some in
quiry. We were assured that the mine
was in q very prosperous condition, and
looking extremely well throughout.
The fine ore hat we noticed particularly
was taken from the Bourne shaft. The
mine is keeping both mills constantly
running. The amount of ore extracted
and sent to mill daily, is from So to As
tuns--giving a yield that is quite salts
factory.
SHIPMENT OF BuLLIoN.-W. L. Pritch-
ards fast freight line carried away 49,
900 pounds of base bullion last week,
and yesterday 90, 900 pounds were ship
ped. A large portion of yesterdays
shipment was composed of the Eagle
(Walsh) Furnace bullion, which runs
over 5000 in silver, and which is as
handsome base metal as was ever sent
from here.
Nor THE SAME pERsoN.-For fear that
people abroad may confound the Charles
II. Goodwin from whom the fatal pistol
dropped that killed Allen at Eureka, with
Judge Charles @. Goodwin, formerly of
this place, and now of Eureka, we an
oun that they are two different indi-
yiduals.
