in regard TO the death OF Mr.. Nallan-

CHICAGO.
Plea OF Not Guilty Entered.

CHICAGO, June l9.-The case Of Al
fred Ziegenmeyer, against whom there
are two indictments for forgery and one
for murder, came up on a motion made
by his counsel for permission to change
MS pleas in the foregoing case from
guilty to not guilty. After the argu-
nents, Judge Porter permitted the
change to be made. The prisoner was
then arraingned and entered pleas Of
not guilty to all the indictments.
A Suicide.
A man named Morris Griffin came
INTO Central Station this forenoon and
requested Officer Prince to shut him up
because some one was after him. He
was taken into the jail for time, but
later in the day became wild and was
carried to the armory and locked up
Nothing more was heard from him
until this morning, when he was visited
by physician and appeared about as
yesterday. About 10 o'clock he was
found suspended by his handkerchief
with his feet dragging on the floor and
dead. He was about thirty two years
DID,
Arraigned for Perjury.
James Crangle was arraigned in the
Criminal Court this morning on a
charge Of perjury. 1t was charged that
he had executed deed which he had
filed in chancery, and that he had af-
terward sworn that he had never con-
veyed the property. On arraignment
the prisoner conducted himself so
strangely that the Court committed him
to await examination 10y medical men
to test his sanity.
Desperate Shooting ARRAY
At Lincoln Park this afternoon John
Wilson was arrested by policeman John
Maher for picking a ladys pocket. On
the way to the station house, Wilson
sprang from the grasp of the officer,
drew a revolver and fired three shots at
Maher, two of them entering his right
breast An old man named Charles
Hoffman rushed to Mahers assistance
and grappled the ruffian, when the lat
ter fired two shots at him, both taking
effect in his left hip. Maher by this
time had somewhat recovered, and fired
at Wilson, shooting him in the right
breast. Wilson was then secured.
Fears are entertained that Maher will
not recover. Hof1man's injuries are
severe but not dangerous. Wilson, in
all probability, will die. But for the
efforts OF the police, the latter would
have been lynched.

The Joint High Commi.,ion.

The Commission now convened in WASH
ington, il Is thought wiz conclude its labors
in few weeks, and Indications point to an
equitable settlement Of the matters under con-
sideration. The subject Of the fisheries will
be considered first, when other important
questions will be discussed. Whether the
Commission will arrive at any definite settle
ment of the Alabama claims Is a matter of
much interest, but it is thought an adjustment
Of the claims is probable. The settlement
Of the fishery question by the Mother country
is dstasteful to Canada. The Dominion au-
thorities want the advantages of the fisheries
as an Offset to reciprocity. The appointment
of commissioners by the British Government
was not palatable to them. The President
in his late message, showed an unfriendly and
in fact hostile act toward the United States,
on the part of Canada; and while his language
commanded a respectful attention in England,
it was received by the Canadian press with
sneers and denial, and by their Government
IN spirit that would MOI encourage friendly
negotiation, if such were necessary, and We
had no other means of settling the difficulties
The war vessels commissioned by the Domin-
ion for the encouragement of the fishing inter
est were SO used as to excite as much i'll feel
ing in the fishing ports as it did in the Ameri-
cans engaged in the business of fishing. For
tunately the settlement of this question lies
not between us and Canada, but with the
Home Government, which desires friendly re-
lations aA5 is willing to make some sacrifices
to maintain them. 1t will be different affair
from having to do with subordinate authori-
ty, which wishes to drive the best possible bar
gain with us.
The appointment of the members of the
Joint High Commission on the part of Great
Britain is an evidence of the sincerity of her
wish for peace and friendship with America.
The Commission that is now in session will
perhaps dwell longer in their adjudication
than was at first anticipated, but doubtless the
members will endeavor to SO negotiate for the
settlement of pending claims that the final
termination of the questions conflicting be-
tween the United States and England will be
amiccbly adjusted and be acceptable to ali
parties concerned.

1HE WATER OF LAKE BIGLER-Slnce Won
Schmidt first proposed to divert the water OF
Lake Bigler for the use of the mines in Cali
fornia and for the supplying Of Sacramento
and San Francisco with pure mountain bev-
erage, a great deal of discussion has arisen by
the press as to the Legality Of diverting the
water from its natural channel. Should the
tapping of the Lake for purposes intended be
consummated, doubtless litigation will follow.
and the interests of this State will be recog-
nized in the premises. Won Schmidt proposes
to divert 137, 4S2, 5l2 gallons daily. A cores
pendent of the Reno Crescent says: "l37, 49,, =
5l2 gallons of water per day of twenty-four
hours, is equal to the discharge of IL, 7G3 cubic
feet per minute, and would flow nine inches in
depth over a dam or weir seventy-seveu aud "A
kalf feet long. 1t would fill reservoir, half a
mile square, to the depth of two feet and
eight inches each day"
Concerning the above, the editor Of the
Crescent remarks:
THE amount of 13T, ts2, 5G2 gallons per day
is at moderate estimate two-thlrds Of the
present flow of the Truckee (the outlet of
Lake Bigler), and it ia \ notorious fact that
during the past Winter the supply has not
been equal TO the demand for mill PURPOSES
The State of Nevada has 10 miles of the
Truckee within her boundaries and / 400 feet
fall. The flow of 1877 49,, 5l2 gallons of water
every twenty-four hours with fall of 400
feet, may be fairly estimated at 365, 600 horse
power, and this is what Won Schmidt proposes
to take from Nevada over and above the SAM
tary and fertilizing influences Of the stream
That the law will sanction or the people sub
init to such wholesale robbery, seems to us
absurd in the extreme; that it can be carried
out is impossible.
In relation to the water of Lake Bigler, the
Gold Hill News Of recent date, has the fol-
lowing:
"We learn from reliable authority that the
Lake Tahoe Water Company have already
commenced the building of a dam across the
Truckee river, about four miles below the
mouth of that stream, or the outlet Of tho
lake. There is supposed TO be u fall in that
distance of at least ono hundred feet, which
will permit the building Of dam ono hundred
feet high, thereby creating a vast reservoir
four miles long, without raising the lake. At
this dam it is intended to start the canal and
divert the waters over the mountains towabd
the valleys in California. We have not learned
that the operators in this new enterprise have
yet lessened the usual flow i'll the Truckeo. As
this work is going on altogether in California,
We do not see how our State authorities can
well stop 1t, unless an attempt is made in tho
United States Circui. Court"
We understand that the State authorities
arc about taking tho question into the United
States Court, to decide whether the water of
Lake Bigler can be diverted from it's natural
course to the detriment of tho citizens Of Ne.
vada; when we think Won Schmidt Il Co. will
be obliged 10 go TO some other quarter for
their fresh water.

THE Narrow GAuoE-THE OBSTACLES TO IT'S
CoSsTxUc1Ios-Ths White Pine News Of the
March Path has the following:
"a great mistake was made by tho friends of
Eastern Nevada in requiring q petition signed
by wo-thirds of the taxpayers, a. appearing
by the assessment roll, TO procure the passage
of the ordinance authorizing the issuance of
bonds in aid Of the road. The assessment roll
Of 1870 contained long strings of names Of peo-
pie who have since gone to other parts. Hun
dreds appear on that unmeaning roll who are
thereby construed to be taxpayers, though
they paid no taxes nj all. The substantial
men in the county, who really pay the taxes,
paid last year and viii pay this year. are
almost unanimously IN favor of the speedy
construction Of the Eastern Nevada Railroad,
as the best assurance of the continued pros
perity and rapid development of this section
Of the State. But by the awkwardness of the
phraseology Of the bill the friends of the pro-
jet are hindered in their efforts. These sub
stantial, actual taxpayers, do not figure up
two-thirds on the last years roll. IL every
actual taxpayer could be got upon the petition,
scarcely two-thirds Of the roll of 1870 would
appear. Then, those who have SET their
faces against this enterprise will fell encour-
aged; but their hopes vain. The success
of the road will be bafiled; the commence
meut Of work delayed perhaps two months;
but the signatures are already procured repre-
senting thrse-fourths Of the taxable property
m the county, and fully two-thirds OF the tax
payers as they will be enumerated and assessed
for 1871. few months delay will not mate
rially damage SO substantial an enterprise. Its
Intimate success is already assured Possibly,
even the few months intervening between this
time and the canvass by the Commissioners
will not be lost. Work may be commenced at
the Elko end Of the road In anticipation of the
passage of the ordinance by the County Com
missicners Of White Pine. Next week will
bring the surveying patty to Hamilton, and as
soon as the maps and papers can be got ready
negotiations for means will proceed"
