ladies conducting the Fair at Hanley's
Hall last night. The dancing began
about IL o'clock, and was continued I'M
I'll n late, or rather an early hour. The
dresses were mostly plain, as beftted the
occasion. Lunch was served up on the
stage in the hall. Before the dancers
had all arrived, Mr.. Wyatt made an ex-
nar;ment with the calcium or drum
pinoned light, in front of the hall. The
resnlt showed that his gases had been
well prepared; i. e., that they were pure,
and that no danger was to be appre-
hended from explosion. The reservoirs
we're proven to be gas tight, and worked
well. The light was not as bright as it
wonld have been had not the tubing |
which connects the reservoirs with the |
blow.pipe been entirely too small, not
admitting of the passage of enough oxy-
cen and hydrogen. The tubing used was
only n sixteenth of an inch in diameter, |
while the proper size is half an inch.
sufficient length of the latter has been
sent for to Salt Lake, and will arrive
here tomorrow evening.
THouGHr He WOULDN'T. : Yesterday |
evening, young man was busy on the
verandah in front of Hanley's Hall, fill |
ing gasreservoir with oxygen. The re-
tort in which the gas was being gener-
nted was of glass. A number of small
boys crowded around to see the machine,
and they were in the operators way.
They looked with curious eyes and with
A touch Of fear at the queer machine,
the like of which they had never seen,
nor, perhaps, never heard OF before; and
the young man thought of an expedient
TO send them away. Come here, Tom
N.Y." said he to the largest, "and stand
in front OF this exploder, SO that if it
bursts it will not hurt those other boys"
Tommy didn't make any remarks just
then. In just 2 Z seconds he stood on
the street. His face was rather pale, and
his voice was not quite steady, when he
said to the other urchips, who likewise
stood on the street, that he thought he
wouldn't stand in front of that machine
cause his mother wanted him to get her
paper of pins down town, and hurry
back.
Two FUNERALS IN ONE.--Yesterday af
ternoon at A O'Clock the funeral of Dan
iel Moriarty, and at the same that of
Thomas Norton, took place from the
Catholic Church ON Cedar street. In re-
gard to these two men there was rather
singular coincidence. They were warm
friends in life, and had made together
the voyage from Australia to California,
al
ifornia to this place. They died within
a few hours of each other, on the same
day, and yesterday their remains were
carried to the grave in the same process
sion. They now lie side by side, in
death, as they stood in life. The funeral
was one of the largest that has taken
place here for a long time, there being in
the procession three hundred and twen-
ty-fve persons on foot, besides a number
in carriages and on horseback. A large
number of those in the procession had
been fellow-workmen of the deceased in
the mine; and, from all that can be
learned, the mark of respect, shown by
the very large attendance, was well be-
slowed.
HATED TO SEE HIM DRUSK.-At about
half-past two o'clock yesterday morning,
couple of men stood together on Mead
ow Valley street, holding each other at
arms length, so that each should be a
support for his companion. Number
One remarked Jimwilly ul- (hic) end
mea halfadollar? - Number Two re-
piled, standing, or, rather, staggering on
his dignity, Now, Iveallersed you're
friend 49, Of 49, mine. Butw'enyre-
drunk I'll newer givey cent. Y'ought
tobe 'shamed y'rself!" Having relieved
himself of this speech, however, he
seemed to forget his late moral senti-
ments, and to fall from grace wonder
fully; for when his companion sang
I'VE won't go home till morning he
joined in the chorus with will. And
to tell the truth, it didn't seem probable
that they would so home before the sun
came to light them on their way.
SUPERsEDEAs ISSUED IN THE FERGUSON
CAsE.-It will be remembered that Owen
Ferguson was convicted in our District
Court Of murder in the first degree, and
that he was subsequently sentenced by
Judge Fuller to be hanged on the 3lst of
October inst. Motion for new trial
having been denied, an appeal was taken
to the Supreme Court. A transcript of
the proceedings was sent to Carson, and
yesterday Mr.. Foster, one of Ferguson s
counsel, was advised by telegraph that
supersedeas had been issued The eff
feet OF this is to suspend the execution
until the Supreme Court can review the
proceedings in the District Court.
INDIGNArIoN.-"The Butchers of Pr
oche on the War-path," "Butchertown
still at it, are headings which the Salt
Lake Tribune gives to. its dispatches
from this place, Zone of the boys" was
reading the Tribune yesterday morning.
When he came to the headings spoken Of
he remarked, - this - paper, and
the = that dishes the - up. I'll be
eternally = if ever heard of such o
iooi.' And those around him smiled
approval. This was light on the Tri-
bune man, considering the nature of his
oifense. He should remember that we
OF Phoebe are very delicate about being
called hard names.
S. W. DELAeY.-Concernin former
'''iAeh Oh floche, the San Jose Mercury,
OF the Sd, says: Our friend of the quill,
>: W. DeLacy, has returned to San Jose.
after one a half years residence in
rioche, Nevada. And so it goes. The
poys can't drift so far away from the old
hearthstone but that they will find their
way back again. Steve thinks there is
no place like San Jose.
SILVER PEAK.-The attachment here
tofore levied upon this mine has been
raised, and all the liabilities of the mine
nave been fully satisfied. There is,
therefore no impediment to the working
OIL the mine. Operations will be re-
sumed with renewed vigor, and with
every indication and prospect Of success
IN the near future. Thus is one incubus
after another being removed.
