1t will be seen by this table that the
greater portion ofthe policies are held by
foreign companies, and that no uncasi-
ness need be felt for those at home The
city has been so blessed in respect to fires
these several years past, that losses like
the above coming at such distant inter-
walls is scarcely noticed.
GENERALITIEs.
The number OF hands employed in the
parts of the mill consumed by fire, aver
age from l25 to $50. In very few days
this number will be augmented to double
that number by the stoppage Of the main
factory for the want Of iron, as the roll
plate mill supplied all the iron used by
the entire mill. One of the princi-
pal members of the Company states
that the works will be rebuilt at
once. Yet no matter how speedy this
may be. large sum of money will cease
to find its way into the hands of those
who depended upon this source for the
wherewithal to live
This is the first fire Of any MAGNITUDE
which has occurred within the
city limits for two years, and
when the next visitation Of the fire lend
is at hand, we hope the Fire Department
vii be better prepared 10 contend with
it than now. 1t takes but small stretch
of the imagination to think Of what
might have been the result il the alarm
had been sounded at midnight
and stiff breeze prevailing.

THE new twenty-ccnt silver piece is
now ready tor distribution at tho Mint
The diverse is similar to the quarter dol
lar, with the exception that the word
Liberty" across the shield is raised and
the design is smaller, in proportion to
the size of the coin. On the reverse is an
eagle, holding IN his talons the olive
branch and three arrows. At each end of
the inscription, Omitted States OF Ameri-
co, is a siXpointed star. Beneath the
eagle are the words "twenty cents The
edge of the coin is not milled, rs is the
case on all other United States silver

tended to distinguish the new piece from
the quarter dollar. The words, Gin God

ABiG CONFEDERATION
The New Riverside Nail Mill
and Roll Plate Mill
Destroyed.
Loss Estimated at $4,000.

At six o'clock yesterday evening an
alarm OF fire was sounded from the Sixth
ward engine house and almost before the
alarm was sounded over the city an i'm
mense sheet of flame was shooting up
from the nail plate section Of the River
side MILL while a vast
column OF thick black smoke
arose up to the sky and overspread the
whole lower part of the city. In very
few minutes owing, to the dry tender
like nature of the material the flames
had communicated to and enveloped the
new nail mill, and in less than hour from
the initial pointof the fire these two Sec
lions Of the Riverside mill were in ruins.
THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE.
From the best information to be had,
the fire originated at the Southwest cor
ner of the plate mill. The heat was in
tense and everything very dry, and it is
supposed that spark from the stack OF
the furnace falling on the roof, or some
defect in the stack, caused the ignition,
and even before the boilers in the vicin-
ity were aware of it, the flames were
spreading like wildfre.
.PRovIDENTlAL ESCAPE.
The most wonderful and proyidetial
escape of that part of the mill known ms
the old nail factory, and the ajoinlng
tannery of Berger Il Hoffman, were the
cause of general surprise and thankful
ness. If the wind had been high, or the
onfagratioa had occurred in the dead
of night, no doubt all of this valuable
property would have been destroyed.
THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
Too much praise cannot be bestowed
on the fire department. The United
which is located but stones throw from
/ the fire, was on the ground and at work
almost instantly while the others were Il.
promptly on hand rs their distance and
the means of sounding the alarm would
permit. Their good service saved the
old factory, certaiu.
LOSSES.
The nail factory contained SO nail
machines, and boilers and engines to run
them. The approximate value OF ITS
cxrection is $4,000 The nail plate mil
rolled all the plate which was used by
the old and new factories and It's con.
struction is estimated ut about $4,000
a large quantity of iron amounting in
value to probably $4,000, had been
rolled and slowed away IN the
new nail factory which is of course, par
italy damaged. These figures aggrc,
gate about $96, 600, but as u large portion
OF the property, such as the iron and ma.
chinery can be utilized, the net loss may
not reach over half those figures OF
| $4,000 Yet the loss directly or indi.
rectly in stopping the mill, and
the delay attending the rebuilding
&c. will increase the total beyond any
figures which could now be arrived nj.
THE INSURANCE.
The amount of insurance as near Il:
can be obtained at present, at which l:
very nearly correct, amounts to $4,000

CORPUS CHRIsTI.-Ye sterday the fas-
tival of Corpus Christi was celebrated in
the Catholic church. The Catholic says:
Though the institution Of the most
holy sacrament had been always COM
memorated in the church, as fer instance,
on Holy Thursday, the festival Of Cor
pus Christi was not established until
about the middle of the thirteenth CEN
fury. In fact, it was only on the Sth OF
September, 1894, that the bull Of Urban
". was published, extending the testi'
val to the whole Catholic world
st. Thomas, of Aquin, was appointed by.
this Pope to compose the office OF the
feast. The poems, which form part OF
this office, are the loving thoughts OF
saint on the blessed sacrament. We can
in no other way express their beauty and
grandeur and alteration of love. Through
out the whole world the pGngs ttngld'
swells along the whole line of procession
on Corpus Christi-it5 'Gantum Ergo
Sqcrameatru,,' and the 80 Satutaris Hos
tia of the 'VerJup, Suspernum ever
swing their sweet incense at bcne Iicti on
of the blessed sacrament. What a glory
this, for the Angel of the Schools

the withdrawal Of the military force
from Louisiana. I hope the line will

Negley, OF Pennsylvania-Before this
question is settled. we will have to send
moo military force to Louisiana.
HaBs resolution was returned to him
from'the Speakers desk, and the mat
ter ended for the present. The House
Them went into committee of the

appropriations are: Fortress Monroe
$40, 900; Fort Moultrie $l5. 900; Fort

| much AZ the carly history which the
Semntor had alluded to. Democrats
and Republicans in the Northern
States lived side by side; they had hotly
contested elections, but the ballot-box
settled all matters, and they mingled
together in society, good friends;
it did not become tho Senator, with
the fairness which characterized his
| csnduot, to lmpute to him (Edmunds)
| any feeling of animOsity or dislike for
the people of the Southern States. All
he desired was security for life and
property for oil men and parties. He
had no objection to white men or the
Democratic party having control of
every Southern State, no they admins
tered equal justice to all. There should
be careful effort to get at the truth,
and whatever it turned out to be, act
upon 1t; but he had u suspicion that it
would not suit certain portion of tue
people OF the South, though not the
portion to which Senator from Georgiu
referred, to have the truth ever since
the rebellion had terminated. North
ern men had cried out for tolerance of
opinion only, aud not for vengeance; :;
Northern men had removed political
disabilities and received mon who had
been engaged in the rebellion with
open arms. All the North desired was
that peace which the Senator spoke of.
Gordon said: The Senator had referred
to him, haing the word "responsi
bility." What he meant by the word
was shat he was Responsible as Sena-
tor, as o gentleman aud as man, for
the truth OF what he said: and il thus
being responsible was to bring upon
him tine oenaure OF She Senator az
ssmi-basbarous, he would have
to try and bear it. II he will
allow me to bear the respon-
eibility of my statement, I will
promise not to moleat him in his ire
aponaibility. He (Gordop) would not
be led into any controversy about the
Lyon County times. [volume] (Silver City, Nev.) 1874-1907, 1875-10-10

to the possessor, even though ct
the expense Of others. The cool
ness of one of our especial Silver
City favorites at q Reno hotel,
during dark night, at the State
fair, is a verification of our theory.
The gentleman who had occupied
the room the night previous had
neglected to come back, make up
the beds and empty the wash-bowl.
SO our friend, wanting to wash his
fippers before retiring, and seeing
an open window, just heaved the
dirty water through it. The next
moment he heard some one roll
over, give a sigh, and sleepily
remark, "Gol darn it Emily !;
who'd thought it was going to
RAIN tonight! and this roof leaks
like a forty-foot ladder!' Our
friend didn't realize until the next
morning that that window opened
into the next room, and that he had
thrown four quarts of dirty soap
suds on top Of a newly-married
couple from Winnemucca, but he
knows it now.
