Eureka daily sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1871-1887, 1876-02-02

A New York correspondent for a
Chicago paper relates the following:
"Apropos of this. Mrs. Tilton spent a
sad New Year. Her husband re-
turned a few days before, from his sue
cessful Western tour and found that
his daughters, Florence and Alice had
not called upon their mother. Flor
ence the elder, now q dignified and
self. reliant young woman, was quite
disinclined to do so, but Mr.. Tilton, it
is said, urged that her mother would
miss the calls and attention she had
been accustomed to receive, and the
at last started off in a car
with two boquets for their
mother. Arrived at the door they sent
their names, boluets, and an af-
fectionate note with the s~alutations Of
the New Year, and asked to be ad-
mitted. The servant quickly brought
back the boquets and the note IN
opened, with the message that Mrs.
did not wish to see them or re-
ceive anything at their hands! 1t
seems almost incredible that a sane
mother could repulse her children un-
der such circumstances, and the ques-
ton now arises, what influences sur
round Mrs. Tilton to produce such a

Rev. T. NJ. Dawson has filed another
affidavit in his case against the Eren-
ing Post for the publication Of charges
against him III the issue Of the 18th
ult., and the Court has ordered the
Post people to appear and answer fol
contempt on Friday next.
The argument in the Antioch distil

discrepancies shown by the books o.
the distillery, and the fact of the du
plicate use of stamps, and instructina
the jury that unless these things coulc
he accounted for on a reasonable by
pothesis of honesty, they hould fine
for the Government. In closing, the
Court stated that no such mount o.
proof was necessary az would be re
quired in a criminal action, and n reas-
enable preponderance of evidence
would justify a verdict for the Gov
ernmeht. The case was then given tC
the Jury. The interest in the trial has
increased as it has progressed, and

A DEAD SHoT.-Whenever you hear
any resident OF a community attempt
ing to decry the local paper. providing
that paper is faithfully devoted to the
interests of its section, and is conducted
with sufficient ability to command re-
spect abroad, it's dollars to doughnuts
that such person is either mad at the
editor because he declined to toady to
him, or is owing the office for subscrip-
ton or advertising. Such, ut least, has
been the result of our experience and
obser vations.

plosion of fire-damp occurred this
forenoon at oxford in the air. shaft of
the Delaware, LacAawana & Western
Railroad Company of this city, by
which one man was instantly killed

caused by an accumulation Of gas IN

a miners lamp at depth Of 400 feet
from the surface and Immediately
under the air-shaft. When the acct
dent occurred four men were close to

shock was felt for mile around.
The gas on igniting rushed up the
shaft with terrible roar, tearing out
the steam pipes in its course and
completely SCATTERING the heavy TIM
beers below and above ground and
scattering them in all directions. A
nan named Pfaf, employed at the
mouth of the shaft, had just got into
the bucket and was thrown into the

literally crushed to pieces. Hun

THE DEDICATION. Tho little
church ON the hill, the offspring of
Rev. Mr.. Jenry's energy, was crowd
ed to its utmost capacity last even
ing. 1t was the occasion of it, dedi-
cation, and Bishop Whitaker, Rev.
S. P, Kelly, Rev. r. S. Eastman snd
the pastor, Rev. Mr.. Jcnvy, were
present. A large number came from
Gold Hill and some from Virginia.
Every seat was taken long before the
reverend gentlemen appeared ii Their
surpLces, and when the services be-
gan the aisle and the vestibule were
damned with men who conld not
find seats. Quite a number of smal Ii
boys-too small to appreciate the
solcmnity of the occasion or to real
ize the beauties of the service and
the sermon occupied seats that
ought to have been given to men who
were eager to catch every word and
see every movement. After the usu-
al service preliminary to the sermon,
which on this occasion had more
than common interest inaSmuch as
the four officiating clcrgymen took
part. Bishop Whitaker preached from
the text: IL was glai when they
said unto me, We will 90 into the
house of the Lord. "-122d Psalm,
LIST verse. The sermon was supe-
rior literary effort and was delivered
in clear, distinct tone, with iniec-
ton according to the sense. 1t was
listened to with profound interest. The
Bishoplmpressed upon the congrega-
ton the need of cooperating with the
pastor in the maintenance of the
church organization and Of support
ing him in his work, adding the
phrase so trite and true, ''rhe iaborer
is worthy of his hire MIR. McGin-
MS presided at the organ, aud the
singing was very good. One thing
the church needs before it can be con-
sidered as finished. and that is some
railing or guard outside at the en-
trance, to keep people from walking
off the platform when they come sud
denly into the dark, and breaking
their necks.
