CHAPTER OF ACCIDENTS. Tom
Finch. of the Capitol Saloon, Gold
Hill, while cleaning the windows
thereof Saturday morning, fell
from a step-ladder on which he was
standing, distance of about eight
feet, and broke his right arm in
three places. The arm was doubled
directly under him when he struck,
and at the break near the wrist the
bone was driven through the flesh
and protruded through the skin.
-. John Cornwell, at No. 80
North G street, Virginia, while 60
ing down stairs, Friday night. made
a misstep, fell and fractured his
left knee-pan. The injury appears
trivial, but is really much worse
than broken limb, from the ex-
treme difficulty in keeping the joint
perfectly motionless long enough
for the bone to heal. -. John
Dunn, Superintendent of the JUS
tice, and Bob Mcdonald, each had
a buggy collision between Gold
Hill and Virginia on Saturday,
which wrecked the vehicles but did
no other damage. Jim OBrien,
miner in the Imperial, had his hand
badly mashed and one finger
knocked off by falling rock, on
Saturday. 80. Billy. Craddock's
buggy ran over and slightly injured
a little child on C street, Virginia,
on Saturday evening last. ... John
Rankin, miner in the Consolidated
Virginia, was on Saturday struck
on the head, shoulders and back by
a falling rock. The rock would
weigh over a hundred pounds. and
it fell about six feet before striking
him. He attempted to walk to his
home after the accident, but was at
length compelled to call wagon.
....H. H. Watts jumped from a
moving train between Gold Hill
and Virginia on Sunday and dislo-
Gated his shoulder. Julius Hoag-
la hn &c ,l,A
his jaw kicked off by a sharp-shod
mule on Sunday William Terry
was badly scalded in the avage
mine on Sunday -. Thomar Can
nell ran his head against project
ing timber in the Ophir mine yes
terday morning, and came near
Draining himself. He will recover,
but will have a scar three inches
long on the top of his head.

KICKED BY A MULE.-We learn
from parties up from Dayton yester-
day that teamster driving for Mr..
II. Lufkin, near Johntown, was on
Sunday horribly kicked by one OF
the mules of his team. The affair
took place at the ranch near the Sac
ramento mill, and the teamster,
whose name we did not learn, had
his jaw broken in two places, and
received severe cork wound under
the right eye. Next to Juggling

sure thing that THIS will be the
grandest dance that has ever taken
place in Silver City. The hall is
spacious, the floor of the finest tim
Der, and the music will be way

necessary for the ladies to be ont in

their health. We know whereof we
speak when We say that the supper
is going to he one of the best, if not.
the finest, that has been prepared

whole thing is, there is to be no
extra charge for supper-all you
have to do is to get ticket for the
dance.
CoNsULTATIoN.-C V. Boisot has
returned, and, with his creditors, was
yesterday fixing up financial mat
ters looking for continuance of the
broker business. OF course the var
ious consultations were strictly pri-
vaie and nothing definite can be
stated as to the affair this morning.
We learn that MIR. Boisot found his
stock business in San Francisco in
much better shape than he had at
first supposed, and that his business
correspondents in that city are dis
posed to aid him in resumption OF
business. There was = more hopeful
feeling in town yesterday over the
failure, and it is much to be desired
that Mr.. BoIsot will find it in his
power to save his creditors from
serious loss. We await further de-
velopments with interest.

RoUGH ON A FRISCO BROKER
"Il's rough, old boy-its rough"
said Frisco stock broker to us on
Thursday, as he leaned dejectedly
against the lunch table at Cady's.
"What's rough?" said we, sympa-
thetical!y.
"Why, my dear fellow, don't you
know that l have within the past
six months, invested 100000 in
stocks and have lost every timer
Eyes, that is rough? allow me to
extend my sympathy" and two
snort bits were slowly raising from
our pocket to pay for the cigars,
when our afflicted friend, with sigh
that would have done to retail for
stage emotion, concluded his sem
tence:
ayes, yes! and the worst of it all
is that over one hundred and fifty
dollars of it was my o,on money !"
