DIED IN THE COUNTY HospITM..-On
Sunday evening at u few minutes past G
O'Clock, Francis Hughes died in the
County Hospital. He was born near
Memphis, Tennessee, and was about 40
years of age. His son-seyruteen years
of age, is now attending college in Oak
land, California. Other relatives are
supposed to be in Syracuse, New York.
Neither of his parents are now living.
Mr.. Hughes had been on different parts
of the Pacific coast for the past
twenty years, and for the last year
he had been employed in the
Meadow Valley Company's tuill in Dry
Valley as amalgamator. About six weeks
ago he fell i'll from the effects of the
fumes of mercury and other minerals
used in extracting the silver fiom the ore,
and was obliged to quit work. He az
rived at the Hospital at about 10 clock
on Saturday night and died at the time
above stated, A postmortem examina-
ton showed that he had died from pneu-
monia. He was buried at D. m. yester-
day in the City Cemetery, Rev. Mr.. Nc
Bride officiating. Francis Hughes was.
we are informed, man Of good educa-
ton, intelligent and refined. He was
well liked by his employers and by all
with whom he was acquainted. His
death is not ouly loss to his relatives
but to the community in which he lived,
for such men are not plentiful.
We had the pleasure, last evening, OF
visit from Mr.. c. F. Hayward, of San
Francisco, agent for the sale of the Bali
cock Fire Extingusher. Mr.. Hayward
informs US that he has met with great
success, SO far, throughout the State, in
disposing of his machines having sold
no less than one hundred and fifty in
Virginia City alone. After listening to
his description of the machines, we were
most favorably impressed with their util-
ity in case Of fire; especially in a town
| like ours, so liable to sudden and de-
structive confagration, and We trust
number of them will be secured by our
citizens. Mr.. Hayward will give pub
lie exhibition of the practical power of
the extinguisher tomorrow evening at
seven O'Clock, in front of the RECORD
office, Main street.
