Mr.. Secretary Bristow has Just exhibited
very reprehensble Indifference to the merits
OF the national game, and shameful disre-
g I'D for the national honor. He has dismissed
rom his employ in the Treasury Department
a man named Hueston, who is now playing
exhibition games of base ball with the Ath-
let Club in England. In the reign OF Mr.
Bristow's SUCCESSORS efficiency in base ball
was considered high qualification for office;
and Hueston had every reason to expect that
grateful country would defray his expenses
while he upheld her honor abroad but Bris-

FROM ISLAND MouNTA1N.-From j. S.
Mayhugh, who returned from visit to
the new placer mines on Wednesday, we
gather the following: The Judge pros
pected extensively in Hope gulch, and
found it much richer than be had antici-
pated, never getting less than bit and
as high as four bits to the pan. French
& Green had just cleaned up 1917 ounces
from tae earth taken from their tunnel
in drifting 60 feet. H.W. Brown, for an
Elko company, purchased of VIM. Kidd
the 20 acres of mining ground recently
sold to the latter by ]. r. Norton. The
same company located and had surveyed
and recorded. at the head of the gulch,
the Summit tunnel, and contracted with
parties there to run drift into the hill
100 feet. The Owyhee company is rush.
ing its ditch forward as fast as possible.
Forty Cinnamon are now employed and
more will be added as soon as they can
be obtained. Five hundred inches of
water will be brought by this ditch,
which it is calculated will be completed
in six weeks. There are now about 100
men in the camp and new arrivals from
every quarter daily Elko Indepen.

YESTERDAY evening 16 men working
upon the new ditch, uncoupled the for.
ward fiat car OF a number standing upon
the side track, near by, and started for
town. Soon after starting 1t was dis.
covered that the brake on the car would
not hold at all, and the grade being very
heavy the speed soon became frighttnl.
Two men jumped of soon after it start
ed and were not burt-being the only
ones who escaped unscathed. As the car
approached the city more jumped on,
but the fearful velocity made 1t as dan
perous to do SO as to remain, and they
were quite seriously injured. Standing
upou The side track north and q little
west of the Mint, there were two hat
cars loaded with large mining tlmbers
and the switch being turned, the car
with its human freight collided with one
of these with terrific force, smashing the
car to splinters and throwing the men
violently to tie ground, with the excep-
ton of one-Peter McMahon-who must
have struck one Of the timbers with his
head, his skull being crushed and life
fast ebbing away when found upon the
car after the collision. A man named
Meservy was thrown to the ground
striking upon his head. and sustained
serious injuries. his neck being feartully
swollen when We saw him. u. l.. An
derson, Chief Engineer Of the Virginia d
Truckee Railroad, was upon the car in
charge OF the party, and sustained serl'
Gus injuries. He was removed to the
Carson Exchange Hotel. and from the
surgeon we learn that his injuries are
serious but not necessarily fatal. He was
at last accounts conscious and resting
quietly. We are informed that Meservy
is not as badly hurt as was at first sup
posed, though his injuries are serious
and painful. As to the cause Of the fail
ure Of the brake to hold resulting in the
accident there are SO many theories ad-
vanced and disproven that we await fur
Their information before giving an opin'
ion. The most plausible one, however,
being, that those in the car did not know
how to work the brake, it being OF pat
tern in use on the new cars, which when
the chain upon the brake staff drops be-
low that part which winds the chain up,
the bar may be turned innumerable times
without affecting the brake; and the men
did not know that by raising 1t upon the
brake staff, il could be made to work as
intended for it to do, or they were una.
BILE to do 80. 1t was frightful affair,
and cast gloom Of sadness over thif
city.

The trial of John Murphy, charged

The trial of John Murphy. charged
with murder, in the killing OF John X.
McCallum, was concluded in the District
Court yesterday, and at $50 p. m. the
jury rendered verdict Of murder in the
first degree. The facts brought out upon
the trial show that previous to the shoot
ing-which occurred in this city the
two men had difficulty at camp in the
mountains, where Murphy was employed
as a cook, in which Murphy was struck
by McCallum over the head with mus
tard cup, but it also appeared that Muir
ply was the aggressor, having thrown a
bottle at McCallum. After the difficulty
McCallum came to this city, for the pur-
pose, as he stated, of avoiding Murphy,
whom he appeared to fear, knowing him
to have the reputation of a bruiser and
fighter. On the 18th day of May, few
days after the difficulty in the noun
tains, Murphy also came to town and
stated his intention of fighting or pun.
ishing McCallum. About 8 o'clock in
the morning Of that day he saw Mccall
lum near Koppel & Platt's corner, on
South Carson street, and at once opened
| fire upon him with a revolver, and con.
tinued to fire as he pursued him through
Benton's stable on the opposite side Of
the street. One shot struck McCallum
in the back resulting after the lapse of o
few days in his death. Upon McCallum
there was not found any weapon and he
had avoided Murphy and undoubtedly
stood in fear of him. That the shooting
was willful premeditated, cowardly as.
sassination there can be no doubt. The
jury have faithfully performed duty
which all men owe to society for the pro-
lection of human life. when called upon
to act as jurors in such case. The
case of the State was ably conducted by
District Attorney Patterson assisted by
Judge Wells, and the prisoner was well
defended by General Clarke. Murphy
will receive his sentence on Monday

SAN DIEGO, August 1.-THE body of
Bill Andrews, better known as Buzzard
Bill, was found by Chas. Tribolet last
Saturday, two miles from the Everard
place. Bill strayed away from his &C.

was badly decomposed and picked to
pieces by wild animals. He had no known
relatives in this country.

Judge Blake this afternoon sustained
the demurrer to the indictment for per
jury preferred against John T. Peters
and ordered that the case be again sub

indictment sets forth, that while the
Grand Jury were examining charges Of
malfeasance in Office against the Chic

partment of San Francisco, the defend
ant was examined as witness. Wher
asked whether he had received 5000 from
Delos Woodruff in consideration OF the
latter retaining his present position

the negative. He stated that he never
received any consideration from any one
for that purpose. This statement, it il
alleged, was false, and perjury was com
