FROM CARSON.
FROM AN OCCASIONAL CORRESPONDENT

CARSON, Feb. 16.
Business was not rushing, like
mill-tail, in the Senate to-day. A re-
cess of an hour and half vas taken
and all the Senator's adjourned over to
the Assembly to hear the argument on
the passage of the Eureka and Elko
boundary veto bill Of last session. Mr..
Wren, Of Eureka, took the floor and
made an able, clear and conclusive ar
gument, based on sound reasoning and
legal right, in favor of the bill, and
urged its passage with such good rea-
soning and unanswerable argument
as to its justness that the bill passed by
SO to I3 and is now law, in spite OF
the objections of the Governor, or any
body else. Speaker pro tenn. Beck, OF
Washoc, also made an extensive ana
able speech in support of the bill.
Charley G. Wallace, the affable AS
sistant Sergeat alarms of the Senate,
who is known as a quiet anu very OBJ
serving gentleman, but some on the
argument, worked like Trojan at the
seige of Troy in support of the bill, and
is entitled to a liberal share OF the
honor due the Eureka delegation for
this triumph over the Governor-of
Elko.
Yet Another.
AS was expected, and in order to
play his consistent hand out, the Act
ing Governor to-day vetoed Senator
Stevenson's little bill constructing
railroad from the coal mines near Day
ton, Lyon county, to Virginia City.
The Senate received the message with
due solemnity and a clearly apparent
eagerness to get at it. The Senate ad-
journed without taking up the mes
sage.
After the State Prison.
Senator. Cassidy has introduced a
resolution compelling the State Prison
Warden to make to the Board of Com
monthly return of the
of labor performed, material
on hand, etc. Mr.. Piper also intro.
duced bill making the Lieutenant
Governor eX -officiO State Prison War
den, with an annual salary OF $1,000,
payable monthly.
Prison Investigation.
No witnesses have yet been exam
ined for the defense. The evidence as
to the insufficiency of food to the pris-
oners is almost conclusive. Some of
the witnesses so testifying are dis
charged prison guards. No official
charges have been made of any de-
ficiency in the boot and shoe manufac-
tory department, but an estimated diff
ference to the extent Of about $4,000
exists.
Another Gambling Bill.
To Lyon and Storey counties is the
Senate indebted for its moral bills and
views. Senators Davenport and Stew
enson are the virtuous and abstemious
members alluded to. Senator Daven-
port is i'm favor of harmless gambling,
such as "pedro, for the beer;" and j.
inclined to slyly wink at the existence
of other necessary evils, but is opposed
to any business-like gaming--taro,
the national game of
quiet game of keno,
ETC.; while Senator Stevenson il op-
posed to drinking, gambling and every
thing else, on general principles. Be-
cause he does not choose to participate
in such gilded pleasures, he does not
wish anybody else to be allowed the
is poor argument in
this progressive day of enlightened
views and freedom of thought, speed
and action.
After the Virginia Syrens.
Senator Piper's bill regulating sy-
rens and gambling houses in the Vir-
gin City, passed the Senate today. 1t
the charter of that city, so as
to empower the Board Of Aldermen to
contine the houses OF ill-shame within
prescribed limits-huddled up like a
lot of cattle. Also, authorizes the
Board to levy city tax on gambling
houses, as on all other licensed trades
and professions, on the grounds that
the gambling houses receive equal pro-
lection from the police and city gov
ernment, and should be made to con-
tribute equally for its support. Under
the present law, gambling houses only
pay State license, while all other Ii
censed occupations pay State, county
and city licenses.
The Weather
Has chopped on us, and we are now
having beautiful snow storm.
