EUREKA COUNTY GRAND JURY.-The
first Grand Jury for Eureka county
brought in their report ON the Goth.
The Sentinel says the general affairs of
the county We're found in a satisfactory
condition. Nothing like peculation or
misconduct was developed on the part
of any official, and as a result the Grand
Jury had few recommendations to
make. A committee Of thorough ac-
countants examined the books and pa
pers Of the several county officers, and
unanimously agreed that everything
connected Herewith was in the very
best possible shape. In the matter of
the alleged bribery in the trial of the
great case between the Eureka Consol-
idated and Richmond companies, the
jury report that from the testimony
ELECTED they have good reason to believe
that money was improperly used, vet
the evidence called out was not sufficient
to warrant the indictment of any particu
lar individual.

MAKING THINGS LIVELY.

The Philadelphia Dispatch publishes
the following story at the expense OF
Reading, which the papers of that city
denies with true local dignity:
Some years ago, says Max Adler. in
writing to paper, new fire company
was organized at Reading, and the mem
bers one evening thought they would have
little innocent fun at the expense OF
Hopkins, their foreman. They decided
to rush around with the engine to Hop
kins' house after dark, to throw up their
ladders, pull out their hose, climb on his
roof, and scare him with the belief that
his dwelling was on fire. But that very
day Hopkins moved out of the house, and
Presbyterian clergyman moved in, with
out the company being aware Of the
change. SO, about o'clock the humor-
lists dashed out, and went through all the
movements-ge getting on the roof and
splashing water around, and creating n
terrific disturbance generally. A rival
company. noticing what was going on,
also hurried to the scene, and not under
standing the joke, attached their hose to
the plug smashed in the front window,
and began to empty two-inch stream on
the family of that Presbyterian clergy
man. They squirted into all the rooms,
split up the window-shutter with an ax,
broke down the front door, ran out the
furniture, tore off the shingles and bawled
through the trumpets until the hired girl
had conyulsions on the kitchen stairs.
The first company tried to explain, but
the newcomers thought an effort was be-
ing made 10 get them out of the way, and
a fight ensued, and presently fremen were
sliding off the roof. and pelting down the
chimnoys and bleeding ovar the ,ptyy
ssASanas. 'a4s1aasssssA Aes& Sess py.3g,.,i
with spanners ana brass horns on the
stairs. And the next morning that Pres
byterian divine and his family moved
ont. They said the place seemed to be
too animated ana sensational for quiet
circle. They wanted house
where there was more calmness and peace;
where they could have more security for
their privacy and pianos, and for their
shingles, andpeaee of mind
and window-sashes.

The VIENNA AwARDs.-The following
Associated Press dispatch comes from
Vienna, dated August 25th OF 30, 900

their goods on exhibition, were awarded
diplomas through nianipulations of the

VARIOUS methods are proposed by which
10 utilize the blast furnace Stag. 1t is an
interesting fact that what was not long
since regarded rs troublesome and use
loss by-product. has come TO be regarded
rs one of positive value. Among the
latest of these new methods is that by
which Stag is made to serve as valuable
constituent of an artificial pumice stone.
The Stag is first granulated by allowing it
to fall from hight into a stream or tank
of wnter the granulus thus formed is
mixed with hydraulic cement or ordinary
slaked lime. This mass, while soft, is
pressed into brick-shaped molds, the
bricks, after two weeks exposure, become
hard and durable.

A STRAY SHoT.-Last night, about |
o'clock, shot was heard on Meadow
Valley street. There having lately been
several little affairs in which pistols had
been used, good many went to the scene
of the supposed difficulty. Nothing, how
ever, but a flash, near Hanly's theater,
had been seen. Search for the brave
man who had possessed courage enough
to fire his pistol off at nothing, was in
vain. An officer was promptly ON the
spot, and it lisa pity that the disturber OF
the peace was not to be found. 1t is very
dangerous to disappoint the people OF
Phoebe in this manner. They will moi
stand it.-Pioche Record, 30th 1dt.

SCARCELY any of the mills on the Car

half their capacity, owing to the lack of
water in the river. Most of the leading
mines on the Comstock will be compelled
to reduce their working force materially,

60 to 20 car loads of ore per day are now
being sent over the Virginia and Truckee
Railroad to the mills ON the river.-Stdtt

THE STOCK MARKET.
The speculation in stocks to-day partook Of the
usual Saturday dulness. Many OF the operators
avaled themselves Of the occasion to leave the
city; and the corporals guard left behind were
scarcely sufficient to give character to the market.
But for Pacific Mail it would have been destitute Of
q feature and even this 'lancyr became aggard
as the day wore on. At times the board was we'll
nigh deserted, and the general comment Of business
men was that it was a nat and Improbable day.
1t is scarcely necessary. therefore, to do more than
quote prices, no incident OF rise or fall occurring
which requires explanation. Western Union

A correspondent OF the New York Observer
SAYS Not long since, IN travelling from Basic to
Paris, we became hungry. As II divining our
condition, the guard put his head in at the win
dow Of the train.ahd politely asked "Shall order
dinner for you at the next station z" but we
do not stop long enough for it" was our reply.
"Trueit viii eserVedin the train for three francs
and the dishes removed At the next stopping
place." 1By all means order it" The telegraph
carried the oFdeEten miles ahead In a moment,
and when the train drew mp 1t the next station,
the door was opened, and circular basket, three
feet high and one foot in diameter, was put in
our compartment. Upon tho top were a knife
and fork, spoon and napkin q bottle of water
and a haAk OF wine, and glass q little salt
and pepper and large roll. Opening door in
the side of the basket, we saw four shelves, on
each side dish. The first was hot soup, the
second slice of Ia mode beef, the third veg.
etables, and the fourth half chicken and salad
A bunch Of delicious grapes was also found on
one Of the shelves.
We ate our dinner quietly and comfortably,
while the train rushed along at thirty miles an
hour, and then restored the dishes to their places
When the next stoppage was made porter re-
