A man named Jack Denning. who is
well known about Virginia City and
Gold Hill by the name of ''Handsome
jack" or "Handsome Charley" has
been detected in a robbery which will
probably send him to the State Prison.
He has during the last three or four
days been in constant companionship
with a barkeeper named Brown, in
Gold Hill, who has been on a pro.
tracted spree. On Saturday morning
Denning borrowed half a dollar from
his drunken friend to get breakfast
with. The same night he took him
home, dead drunk, and slept in the
room that night. Brown had sense
enough to put his purse, containing
$l20 i'm coin, under his pillow, but in
the morning it was missing. He sus-
pected "Handsome jack" who COM
mencsd treating everybody about
town and seemed to have plenty of
cash. He was so free with the money
that he lent an acquaintance $50. Dem
ming was arrested by officer Morrow
last night, when nearly ali the money
had been spent. He is ut present in
County Jail awaiting examination.

A BIG EXCITEMENT ABOUT
NOTHING.

The annexed item appeared in the
Phoebe Record one day last week. We
reproduce it for the purpose OF offering
something further on the same sub
ject:
A party arrived in Phoebe yesterday
from Belmont, Typo and that neigh
borhood, and reports that considera-
bic excitement exists in the vicinity Of
the latter named place by the mys-
terious disappearance 1T q herder
working for Jewett Adams, and at the
same time of the disappearance of
Billy Killingly, we'll known in Phoebe.
Sheriff Caldwell had been sent Tor to
come to Typo and look into the matter.
Kntiugly- aad- the herder had had a
horse rae q short time previous, the
herder winning all of Killingly's
money, etc. About a week afterward
the herder disappeared and Killingly
also. and there are a great many. sur
misses as to the affair, which the Sheriff
is expected to clear up.
From q gentleman who arrived from
Tybo last night we learn full particu-
lars concerning the above affair. There
was great excitement in Typo and the
surrounding country, lasting several
days, and . thorough search was in
stituted for the missing herder. Sheriff
Caldwell arrived from Belmont, and
heading q party OF searches secured
the country far and near. Holes were
dug wherever the ground had the APP
pearance OF having been disturbed, and
one poor devil who had been on friend-
'ly terms with Kiilingly was frequently
threstsned with q rope on the SUPPOSE
ton that he knew something about the
bloody % deed. He protested, how
ever, al the time that there was moth
ing In the story, aud yet he was forced
to go out day after day in search Of ths
body or the murdered vaquerro. There
ars : great many enthusiastic vigil
antss over In Nys county, and there Is
hardly . doubt that had Killingly
turned up. in Tybo while the excite
ment was ct Its highest pitch he would
instantly have been . goner. From
ali accounts theseasch and excitement

IMPROVED PALACE CARS FOR
THE CENTRAL PACIFIC RAIL
ROAD.

It appears that the Central Pacific is
doing something elegant in the way OF
procuring improved drawing-room
palace cars. The Dayton (O.) Journal
has i detailed description Of the new
cars, which are being built in that city.
Tho general shape of the drawing
roem cars differ but little from the
standard Pullman. Their color is a
light shade of canary, with light trac-
ings, and scroll work of darker and
contrasting shades. The interior is
finished in black American walnut,
oiled, and most elaborate veneering of
French walnut, engraved with fine
lines Of gold, and decorated with
shields of unique marquetry, contain
taing the monogram of the railroad
company in ivory on ebony. The sill
yer lamps, with shaded glass globes,
highly finished wood, elaborated with
silver fixtures, in shape Of curtain
rods, coat and hat pins, and the en-
bossed French plate glass and mirrors,
give almost . dazzling tone to the en-
tire coach. The seats, chairs and sofas
are upholstered with the finest grade
Of Cerise plush. The floor is covered
with Brussels carpets, made expressly
In colors and design to harmonic with
the general finish. The windows are
shaded with damask curtains, on
spring rollers, which also, in color and
figure, carry out the completeness Of
the interior finish. The berths are
equipped with spring and hair mat
tresses of the very best quality, linen
sheets, pillow cases, etc.. in fact, every
necessity and luxury possible to i'm
agine.
The body Of the coach contains a
smoking room, with an inlaid floor,
supplied with a sofa and lounging
chairs. The room is entirely discon-
nected from the main room, YET easy of
access by ear of a short passage
which leads into the sleeping or parlor
YOktIOu u Vic CdIs 4ntS IOOtI OiNi0
cd into twelve sections, each section
b supplied with four seats, or two
berths, two double sash windows,
damask shades, and embossed mir
rors. Each Of these compartments is
10 arranged that it may be entirely
closed from the others, and by the adj
dition Of q movable table, converted
into q dining room
Next to to the smoking there
IL q larger and entirely private state
room, supplied with arm chairs and a
sofa, together with a ladies' dressing
room, complete in each detail. AT the
opposite end of the car is the general
wash room, closet and steam heating
arrangements, all finished with CORE
spending elegance.
W. will all have an opportunity ia
test the comforts of these superb cars
when we go to the great Centennial ex-
hibition next year.

must have been kept up for a week or
more. In the meantime Killingly was
quietly s%ojourning in Eureka, where
he is still stopping. A letter from
Governor Adams finally set the whole
matter at rest. The Governor had no
knowledge of the exciting scenes
TRANSMITTING at his ranch, but
his letter nevertheless explained
the mystery. The Governor has a
foreman on his ranch whose name is
House. The name of the herder who
suddenly came up missing is Horn.
The man Horn is n of those peculiar
individuals who has his periodical
spree. Quite natural enough, when he
once RECEIVERS from a protracted de-
bauch he hasn't the courage to look a
man full in the face for the next month
to come. 1t was in one of these moods
that he left the neighborhood without
telling a soulabout his intended depart
ure or probable destination, and thus it
that horrible pictures Of blood and
murder came to haunt the imagina-
of the people of the thriving vii
lage of Typo. But, as we have before
stated, the Governors letter dispelled
all further visions of foul murders and
mutilated remains. In brief, the Gov
ernor stated in his letter to his fore
man, Mr.. House, that Horn (the muir
dered (?) herder) had written him from
MountBin requesting the settle
inent of his account in full as he did
not intend returning to the ranch, and
the object of the Governors letters was
10 ascertain what amount, if anyth ing.
was due him. So ended the great
mystery which had so long occupied
the Tyboian mind; and so ends, too, a
very important lesson on the unrelia-
bility of circumstantial evidence. Kill
may well congratulate himself
hat he did not fall into the clutches OF
the Nye county vigilantes while they
were on the war path.

present unknown, entered No. 4 Man
gin street, and informed the occupant,
Mrs. Van Slack, that he VAS a santa

of a wallet with $50, a watch aud spec

cause of this is explained partially
upon the grounds of the dull state OF
business throughout the country.
There is also growing a system OF
smuggling that offers great difficulties
to the collections of customs. One of
the easiest and most secure methods
of smuggling is by the mails; valua-
BILE laces are thus sinuggled with i'm
punity. There will be presented to
The next Congress a proposal to make
postmasters ex-officio custom officers,
authorizing them 10 open suspicious
letters and packages; but this PROPOSE
ton, if carried, would give such OPP
por;unity to tamper with the mails
that it is unlikely that it will be re-
ceived with favor.

Cabinet Council.
WASHINGTON, July

WASHINGToN, July 10.
An extraordinary council of the
Cabinet members having been called
by Secretary Fish, they met to-day Al
the Department OF State, continuing in
session about three hours. All were
present excepting Secretary Belknap,
who is absent West. The subject of
our relations with Venezuela was laid
before the council by Secretary Fish,
who read the latest communication
from our Minister to that country and
stated the general facts of the case. 1t
may be recollected that in December,
1872, the President announced that the
Government of Venezuela had made
70 further payments on count Of
awards under the Convention of 1866,
and expressed the hope that it would
lose no time in providing for the I'M
paid balance of its debt 10 the United
States, which having originated IN in
juries to our citizens by the Venezue-
Ian authorities and having been ac-
knoyledged pursuant to the treaty in
the most solemn form among nations,
would, the President said, seem to de-
serve preference over debts OF a differ
ent origin and contracted in a different
manner, aud recommended this sub
ject to the attention OF Congress for
such action as might be deemed
proper.
