HEAVY Mrs.-Tho Carson Regi,ter

HEAVY MES.+The Carson Register
of this morning makes mention of four
prominent citizens of that quadrangle
lar city, whose aggregate po~nderosity
sums up to 946 pounds. These heavy
men are set forth rs follows: George
Tufly, Of the st. Charles Hotel, 1903
pounds; Ex-Governor Blasdel, 223;
Jerry Schooling, State Treasurer, 224 /;
Billy Wilson, stage man, 2O6. That
may do very we'll for Carson, but our
Gold Hill heavy men outspot that
somewhat. John Edmonds, at Gibson
& Cross saloon, weighs 32S pounds.
Gibson himself weighs 2N pounds,
Jake Becker weighs 230, and Eugene
Bittner DDS pounds. This Is only their
fighting weight, and neither Of them
have stopped growing. 1t will be per-
ceived that we have made no mention
ton ut all Of Farnham, Cross, nor any
Of the other numerous stout and grow
ing youths Of Gold Hill. Neither do
we care to mention Bcany Irwin, w.
F. Sheppard, X. B. Brown, and others
up at Virginia just now. Gold Hill
claims high"
Cor THEIR WALKING PAPEs.-The
Enterprise says that Chief Of Police
Downey yesterday served written To-
tices upon no less than three persons,
requiring them to at once leave the
city. They wore all men supposed to
be in the incendiary line. They asked
no questions, but pocketed their "val-
entines" and "got up and busted"
This, now, Is move in the right d.
rection, both on the part Of the police
and the incendiaries. As we stated a
day or two since, there are numerous
fellows loating and lurking about Vir-
ginia without any apparent occupa-
ton who will bear looking after. I'm
less they 60 to work, or show that they
have some legitimate business or occu-
patton, they should be suspected rs in
cendiaries at once and treated accord
ingly. 1t costs too much to keep in
cendiarics where wooden buildings are
so plenty and water so scarce.
AcQUrrrED-'rhe jury in the case Of
The State VS.. VIM. Cornelius, charged
with the murder Of john Browning,
on trial in the District Court at Vir-
ginia, came into Court at 10 o'clock
4. NJ. to-day, bringing in a verdict Of
not guilty, and the defendant was ac-
cordingly acquitted. 1t will be recol-
lected that Browning and Cornelius
were partners in a foundry OH the d.
vide, and several months ago they got
into a quarrel OIL business matters,
which resulted in Browning infiicting
severe injuries on Cornelius head with
a hammer, and Cornelius shooting
Browning with a Derringer. The ball
inflicted a wound in his forehead, from
the effects of which lie died some weeks
afterward, in San Francisco, although
before he went down there he was
about Virginia as usual, and at II
time was supposed to have nearly re-
covered from the shot.
PERsoNAL.-J.A A. Brumsey, the we'll
known and popular insurance agent at
Virginia, returned yesterday from a
several weeks visit to his relatives and
friends in the East. Strange as it may
appear, he brought back no wife with
him, vet he looks as healthy, genial
and friendly as ever. He will proba-
bly, settle now In this section for life,
unless he concludes to so elsewhere.
Welcome, Brumsey.
