the District Court before Judge
Harris. The court now is crowded
with spectators, and a deep interest
is manifested in the proceedings.
THE TESTIMONY
In chief on the part of the State,
closed yesterday, and in the after
noon the defendant testified in her
own behalf. She stated that Kelly
took hold of her to put her out of
the room; threw her down, and
kicked her in the side, and that she
then became unconscious and does
not know what occurred for sometime
afterward-until she found herself
in the open air. The testimony for
the defense closed last evening, and
the State introduced witnesses to
prove statements made by the de-
PENDANT to the effect that she was
conscious Of all that took place in
the room while Kelly was there on
the night of his death. The opinion
is entertained by some who have
heard a portion of the evidence, that
the defendant Will be acquitted, but
this result is hardly probable, though
the verlict may be for less than the

The case will probably go to the
jury tonight. She was found guilty
of murder in the second degree.-ED.
FOWLER,
The greatest living phrenologist,'
has been humbugging the citizens of
Reno to some extentduring the past
week. The "%reatest living made
some wild gUeSSiu& oye the cranI-
ums that he examined in public here.
1t is reported that he gathered a rich
harvest from credulOus victims
along the line of the Comstock. and
| see from his card that the citizens
OF Carson have had an opportunity
to see his wonderful works and hear
him guess. That card reminds old
residents on tins coast of the days
when Czapkay patronizel the press
of San Francisco so extensively.
The world is fond Of h%umbugs and
the greatest living &c. as well
as Barnum and the Hungarian Pat
riot find it profitable to study the

dead, Czapkay has returned to his
native plains, but the greatest liv-
ing phrenologist still lives, and we
all pay tribute to his genius.
THE SENATORIAL QUESTION,
Which is being discussed in the pa
pers of the State, is receiving some
attention here. OF course no one
but a Republican is expected to sue
coed before the next Legislature, and
the merits-nO not the merits. but
the chances of the various radical
aspirants-are talked over in a quiet
way. Since the sawmills have been

county, Nye's influence has waned
and he is not the favorite of the ma
jority of his own party county.
Sharon is not popular, either, as a
candidate for the I. S. Senate to
succeed Nye, but his chances are
better as he IS supposedtO be backed
by the Bank of California which hath
coin at its disposal, and coin is a
power in elections, particularly in
Senatorial elections, and has been
ever since 1860, in all the States but
Pennsylvania, the home of Cameron.
Jones is supposed to have the Grown
Point mine at his back and a million
or two of loose coin besides. Jones
is ambitious and smart, has lived in
every State in the Union Including
the eleven hayward ~sisters), and
knows the geography and principal
inhabitants of every county where
the members of the next Legislature
were born, or wherethey lived before
they came to Nevada to become the
makers of United States Senators.
Blasdel spends too much time in
California. We could tolerate Nye's
making his home in New York for
he never had a home in Nevada; but
"Blase" lived here one and has
thrown off on us !; which fact dims
his Senatorial prospects. Clarke is
too modest to aspire to the toga Sen
a%torial. After his beard is grown
and he gets over his bashfulness a
