Our FoUKrH or july CE1EBRArIoN

It will never do to let that glorious
occasion pass by without adequate no
tiee, while gunpowder, drums, and
true patriotism exist. We are glad to
notice that a movement Is already
making to that effect, and tomorrow
evening q meeting Is to be held at the
Courthouse, Virginia, In which Gold
Hill citizens are cordially invited to
participate and help arrange for a
grand Joint celebration. Virginia Is
rather better adapted than Gold Hill
for q marching ground for the process
sion, but Fort Homestead, Gold Hill,
Is the most convenient and appropriate
place for the Grafton and similar exer-
cises. The Carson people, TOO, are oil
anxious to return our bountifui Visit OF
Yesterday, and come up on a crowded
excursion train, spend the day, 60 to
the theatre in the evening, and return
home next morning. Let US celebrate.

AccIpENT.-Our friend Colonel Milt.
Elstner, late of the Yellow Jacket
mill, but now of the New Brunswick
mill, near Empire City, yesterday af-
ternoon, between four and five O'Clock,
met with a severe but not fatal acct
dent ut the Yellow Jacket mill Just rs
the train of cars with the excursionists
to Carson arrived there. Mr.. Olson
and Colonel Elstner were In a buggy,
to which were hitched two rather spir.
tied horses, and as the train approached
the horses Suddenly jumped aside. up
setting the buggy and throwing Elst-
ner and Olson out. The former struck
his forehead against a stone, or some
other hard substance, and sustaining a
severe cash in the head. He was
picked up by his friends and carried
into the residence at the Yellow Jacket
mills, where he remained In an insen-
sible condition for some time. We are
pleased to learn to-day that his Injuries
are not serious, and that he Is fast re-
covering.
ENGINE SouIEriSa.-Ahsr the corner stone
was laid the nre Jakies bad some nun. The Cur
rvs squirted, and sent q horizontal stream 10
feet. The Eagles then tried 1t on, and couldn't
fetch that far BY ave feet or more. Al another
cistern the Warrcn's went to work. They threw
40 feet. The Liberty's didn't want any OF II,
and declined to play. This all recapitulated
means that the Ousry's showed Q longer stream
than the Eagles, and that the Warren's showed
Ave feet more than the SSs1 'y sd Beat I'M ne f eTse.
TVS didn't show. There was no playing for
6igh.-Cdrsoa Appeal Of this morning.
We presume the Eagles allowed that
little joke "just out Of courtesy" but
don't you 60 to putting up any reason
able amount of coin OH the ability Of
the Carson squirters to beat the Eagles.
The Liberty's, doubtless, might have
played the Carson machines If they had
found an opponent worthy Of their
SQUIRT. As for the playing for high"
Just get that little flag-pole spliced out
TO a.respectable hight, and perhaps
Washoe Engine Company No. 4, Of
Virginia, Q second class machine,
might be induced to take a squirt at 1t.
