The HARRINGTON MURDER TR,.,

morning he resumed his argument and
GAINED the attention of the Court and
Jury until he had given the testimony a
thorough sitting. Mr.. Bishop was fol-
towed by Judge Pitzer, his associate in
the defense of Harrington, and we regret
that we were not able to be present and
listen to Judge Pitzers argument
The argument was closed by Mr.
hives on the part of the State.
The counsel for the defense submitted
certain instructions for the Jury; the
prosecution submitted no instructions.
his Honor Judge Fuller, charged the
jury, defining the several crimes of muir
der, murder in the second degree and
manslaughter, and also showing what
constituted justifiable homicide. BaiIiffs
were sworn, and at 4: 10 the case was
submitted to the jury. The large crowd
who filled all the available space outside
the railing dispersed, Harrington was re.
manded to prison, Judge Fuller quietly
sought his chambers, and the ATTORNEYS
withdrew, leaving the jury to their de-
liberations, with an officer ready TO re-
port whenever they might agree upon a
verdict.
P.S.-At II o clock last night the iury
had not agreed upon verdict.
Damaged by the Storm.
Among the most serious losers by the
heavy storm of Friday afternoon was the
firm OF S. Ashim & Bro. Their cellar,
IN which was stored goods of various
kinds to the amount of $4,000 or $40 900
worth, was flooded with water, carrying
with it any amount of sediment, sand
and gravel. Yesterday block was made
fast to three pieces of scantling bound
together at the top, tackle was applied
and the goods in the cellar hoisted out as
from the hold of "A ship at the wharf.
The sugar, of which there was a large
quantity in the cellar, is a total loss: the
clothing is slightly damaged, or rather
left not so readily saleable as before
canned goods, fish, etc., are not dam
aged at all. The cellar had already been
bailed out, and the work of removing the
goods progressed as before stated.
The Nevada Central Railroad also came
In for share of the loss. The damage,
however, was not great. A force of men
was put to work to make repairs, and it
's expected that by noon tomorrow the
road will be in running order again. In
the canyon a short distance FROM Bull
lionville the damage was inconsiderable.
Many cellars were flooded and much
damage to property which is trifing in
itself, yet amounts to hundreds of dol
lars in the aggregate, was done Many
houses were flooded, carpets destroyed
or injured, and bedrooms and parlors
filled with sediment and sand, necessi-
tating the taking up of carpets and q
thorough renovation.
p. J. H. Smiths saloon, on Lacour
street, came near being filed with sand,
dirt, etc. The rear of his house was |
erected by excavating into the hill. The |
east wall was built up next to the bank.
The heavy rain sent an immense amount
of water and loose earth into the space
between the bank and the wall was seen |
to be giving way to the pressure, but it |
had strength to withstand it, and yester-

HEAVY STORM YEsTERDAY.-About 5
o'clock yesterday afternoon another
storm came up. A very heavy shower Of
rain fell, accompanied by thunder and
lightning and heavy fall of hail, the
stones being as large as cherry. The
storm did not last exceeding half an
hour, but during that time it would have
been very severe upon any one who was
exposed to it. No damage was done by
the rain of yesterday afternoon, so far
as we are able to learn.
