CARSON ITEMs.-We extract the fol-
lowing from the Register of this morn
Ing: About half.past 2 o'clock Pm, yes-
terday, a heavy rain storm visited this
section. The rain was accompanied by
thunder and lightning. At3:SO one Of
the most terrific claps Of thunder oc-
CURED ever heard In Nevada, paraly-
zing the heart and making every sepa-
rate hair on the reporters head to
stand on end. The rain continued the
whole afternoon. The good to be de-
rived from this timely rain Is incalcu-
liable. -. Marie Gaige informs us that
he has already over $500 collected from
citizens towards the celebration Of the
Fourth. The subscription will proba-
bly, reach $500. Mr.. o. A. II. Gill
bert, assisted by four State prisoners
sent into town by the Warden for that
purpose,0 was engaged In, cleaning up
the Plaza yesterday. The debris from
the Capitol and the chippy remains Of
sundry wood piles, have heretofore
made a very unsightly appearance and
contrasted muchly with the beautiful
fence which surrounds the Capitol
ground. -. Col. Warren WATSON, OF
the Governors staff, was in town yes
terday. He was not In full uniform,
but still had a sufficient amount Of
martial trappings about him to distln-
guish him from a civilian. His get UP
was somewhat in the Gen. Putnam
style. The Colonel reports everything
serene in Douglas county 49,. DR. .Aborn
will be ut the st. Charles Hotel on FRI
day, June 23d, from 10 A.. NJ. until 8 r.
NJ. for the purpose Of giving medical
advice to any and all DESTROYS OF con-
sulting him. The Doctor has the rep
utation of being a skillful physician.
wARNINa TO CnrLpnES. : Certain
troublesome children have Of late made
a practice Of meddling with the cars or
fats left standing at night on the track
Of the Virginia and Truckee Railroad,
at or near the Baltic switch, south Of
the Overman mine. They loosen the
brakes and are liable sometime to start
the cars down the grade, without being |
able to stop them, and perhaps meet
with some severe accident. They also
shift the switches, endangering the
lives Of passengers owe the road.
There is a Waterman looking out for
this section of the road, but these mis-
chievous children watch their opportu-
nifty when he Is away from that par
licular point. Superintendent Yering-
ton desires Us to hereby notify not only
these children, but also their parents,
that unless this practice is stopped now
and henceforth, that the offenders will
be punished to the full extent Of the
law. .a |
New HoIsTING ENeINE.-An excel
lent new hosting engine has just got
started into operation at the Crown
Point works. 1t Is placed in the south
portion of the building, formerly used
as the carpenter shop, and Is rated at
60-horse power, with an lS-inch cylin-
der and 27-inch stroke. 1t Is from the
Risdony Iron Works, San Francisco, |
and works splendidly. The steam for
this engine IS concocted by a large ne W
boiler, 81 inches In diameter by l6 feet
long, and containing 81 three-inch
tubes. This new engine Is designed for
hosting ore through the inclice from
the 1900 foot level to the l,l00-foot
station, from whence it will be raised
to the surface by the other engines. |
PIpER's BLoNDEs.-We are told that
John Piper has privately imported a
troupe Of blondes direct from Ger.
many, without public notification OF
the same, and that he intends a grand
surprise with them at the Opera House
shortly. He has also just engaged a
new artist, also a blonde, young, Dut
heavy. and a native Of this country.
He will do nothing but juvenile busi-
ness for awhile. Due notice OF his first
appearance can be seen under the head
of births" in another column.
A MuDprzp FLooR.-The fine new
inferred floor at Miners Union Hall
got flooded with mud and water during
the big rain of yesterday afternoon.
The sewer at the e of the building
got choked, causing the muddy Hood
to back up and pour into a rear WIN,
dow, running entirely through the hall
and out at the front doors, leaving a
very dirty deposit Of stun to clean out
after the storm was over. That sewer
arrangement is unreliable, and a more
effectual one should be adopted. . |
