A WREcK.-On Sunday last a
scene met our eyes that was painful
TO witness. A few years ago the
subject of our remarks was Dis
trict Judge in California; he came
to Nevada, and was considered one
of the first lawyers of the State.
Liquor was his curse. Whenever
he took one drink he must have
more, and would not stop until he
was besotted-demented. Many
times has he been in this fix and
recovered after careful nursing.
He then would abstain for some
time Ia month perhaps), attend to
his professional business, and try
and make amends for his conduct.
This has been going on for years.
During the past week he has been
on spree, and Sunday passed
through Main street, Silver City
having wandered away from his
home in Virginia City, a demented
wreck. Many of our citizens knew
him but he could not recognize an
old acquaintance. What became OF
him we cannot say; the last we saw
him he was going down Main street
mum bling over some unintelligiblt
gibberish, as harmless as child,

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT. - About 5
o'clock on Sunday the 18th, VIM.
Stewart, a miner in the Dayton, met
with an accident that may cost him
bis life. He was employed working
in the pump shaft, and had to ascend
ladder about 40 feet from the sta
ton. Superintendent Vandewater
informs us that he thinks that Stew
art went up the ladder to where his
partner was working but whose
light had been extinguished, and
being requested to get light started
down the ladder and missed his hold
and fell over backward a distance of
about so feet, receiving number of
wounds about the head. DR.. Harris
was summoned at once, and made
an examination, assisted by Drs.
Hall and Kirby of Gold Hill. They
found the skull fractured above the
left orbit, extending to the temple;
bridge of the nose broken; besides
other fearful cuts in the ear and
face. Yesterday afternoon, at five
O'Clock, Inflammation set in, neces-
stating ice applications. He had not
recovered consciousness at this time.
Mr.. Stewart is a gentleman well
known in this place, and is held in
high esteem; is member of Amity
Lodge, F and A. NJ; aged about As
wears, and has wife and three
children living here. 1t was the
opinion of the physicians
that if inflammation set in he could
not SURVIVE many days.

DRUGGKD AND RoBBED.-About
one o'clock yesterday morning, says
the Neus, Abe Jones found a man
by the name of Tom Knuckley lying
on the Divide, little above the I'm
perial works, apparently insensible.
He was brought to the calaboose and
there revived. When asked to give
an account of himself he said that
all he could remember was, that he
had gone into dead-fall, kept by a
Mrs. Goulett, to get drink, and
hat he knew nothing after that.
When asked if he had any money
when he went in there, he said:
Yes, $3.50 and $40 watch" The
money and watch were both gone
when Jones found him. The sup
position is that he was drugged,
robbed and then thrown on the
highway, but the officers can get no
proof unless they succeed in tracing
the watch.

husband was carrying on saloon
in Gold Hill at the time, and the
parents of the bride had moved to
our town. On Saturday night last
the husband was arrested on the
train at the Mound House while
attempting to go to California,
having left his wife of ten days on
a sick bed at her parents house,
unprovided for, not even leaving her
a dollar of money or calling IN a
physician. On Sunday, after hav-
ing spent the night in the calaboose,
he consented to give his wife $500
and pay the costs entailed in his
arrest, provided she would release
him and get divorce, which she
gladly consented to do. He claims
to have been forced to marry the
girl by relatives of hers, who dis
covered her true condition some
time since, and threatened to give
him the contents of a six-shooter il
he refused. Not having any par
ticular liking for her NOW, he had
quietly disposed of his property
and was going to leave the country
and his lawful wife to the cold
charities of the world. The list OF

BUILDING IMPROVEMENTS

In no time in the history of Sill
yer City has there been the same
amount of building going on that
is at the present time. The i'm
provements are not alone confined
to business houses on Main street
but include residences, lodging and
boarding houses in every part of
town. These, we are pleased to
note, are of more permanent ma
ture than is noted in mining camps
generally. We took a short walk
yesterday and will give our readers
the result of our investigation.
In Succor Ravine-Hugh Griffin
has just completed residence, Tx
IL feet: and Mrs. Wildfong an addi-
ton to her house of 14x16 feet.
Other improvements are noticeable.
On Gay street-W. H. Watson
has just completed a neat and TASTY
residence, 2Ox2O, one story. There
has been built recently two or three
other residences on this street. but
the owners names we did not ascer-
tain.
On Main street-Charles Clarke
is now finishing a neat and very
comfortable dwelling, rustic front
and sides, 20x24, situated opposite
the Pioneer Mill. H. Meyers has
nearly completed his restaurant and
lodging building, 20x36 feet, two
stories high, with large kitchen be-
hind. Mrs. Coats is now putting
in the furniture into her lodging
house, 2Ox60 feet, two stories high,
situated next door north of the Ar
mory Hall. d. Harkin has put a
large addition to his blacksmith
shop. Donahue & Barrett have
about completed their wagon and
blacksmith shop, 31x60. They will
be ready for work by the first of the
month, and purpose doing all kinds
OF wagon-making, repairing, etc.
Mr.. Dixon is erecting a handsome
residence, 20x24, rustic front.
On Third street-Mr. E. Winter
Is putting up a frame, 3Ox46, two
stories high, suitable for a private
boarding and lodging house eight
rooms above and nine below. 1t is
very eligibly located ior boarding
house, and will be an ornament to
the street on which it is situated.
American Flat Ravine-There are
two or three residences in different
stages of completion, but we were
unable to get names of builders or
dimensions of buildings.
In this hasty sketch of the build
ings being erected we have not in
cluded many residences on the hill,
or the numerous cabins to be seen
going up daily in all parts of town,
which we may speak of in another
article, but have endeavored to give
the reader an idea of the growth of
Silver City at the present time. We
hear of number of other buildings
to be erected as soon as lumber can
be procured. The population of
the place is steadily increasing,
which warrants the erection of so
many new buildings.

WE believe there was a turkey
shooting at the Mound House on
Sunday, and that there is to be ano-
Their on next Sunday. We received
letter requesting us to copy an
advertisement to that effect, but
could not find it in the paper named.
We hope the gentleman will send
the dates direct to this office, when
the notice will be given.

The WATER. The new reservoirs
Of the Virginia and Gold Hill Wa
ter Company, situated north of the
Plaza and east of Gay street, will
be completed to-day and the water
turned in. It will be 16x2O feet,
and seven feet high, capable of
holding about 1880 gallons of
water. 1t is thought the water will
be turned into the pipes on Main
street during the week. Oh, won't
there be rejoicing when that day
arrives.

Report, relating to mines in this
neighborhood: r...r ..r
Niagara-Letter of the 10th says:
Since making my last report there
has been a very fine improvement in
the mine; our ledge is widening and
carrying better class of ore; we
have got the pure white quartz that
is known to all comstock men. This
last strike l consider of great i'm.
portance to the company, and there
is no doubt in my mind but that we
are fast approaching large and rich
body of ore, which from present ap-
pearances may be struck any day.
The company cannot too fully ap-
preciate the value of this property,
but all will agree with me when they
see the samples I send tonight.
Dayton-Letter of the 10th says:
A good degree of improvement IN
mine in past few hours. South drift

ES- Maynard in his speech accepting
the radical nomination for Governor
referred TO the naval academy at An
napOlis, and the military academy at
West Point. Both were mixed schools,
and yet they were very popular even
among Democrats. He had received n
great many letters from all parts of the
State, some from the mothers and sisters
OF boys who want to 20 to these mixed
schools. Somehow the niggers don't
smell there like they do in the country. "
He endorsed the civil rights bill and
said The thought we had lived too long
In the woods to get scared at such an
owl as the Civil Rights question" But
Brownlow says IL defeated the party by
10000 majority in the last election, and
that had the Republican candidates in
our election declared for the civil rights
bill, the Democratic majority would not
have been less than 200, 000'n
SO it seems that Brownlow and May
nard differ very widely on the civil
rights question. 1t remains to be seen
whether Brownlow and other white
men who oppose the civil rights bill
will support him for governor.
