A CoRgECTIoN.-Tha Miners Unions
Of Storey county desire to be set right in
a matter which concerns shem in reIa-
ton to the Anti-C Chimes raid in Carson.
The Gold Hill News says: In this
paper We complimentsd the Miners
Unions of Storey county for their action
in sending Robert Lindsay to Carson to
aid in the prosecutions Of the foolish men
who had attempted to iDcite an Anti
| Chinese riot. We were informed that
Mr.. Lindsay was retained by the Miners
| Union here. and the Carson papers
printed the same story. It now appears
| that the Union had nothing to do with
! Mr.. Lindsay's retention. They say that
| they never interfere in matters outside
of their jurisdiction, aud e delegation of
them has called ut this Office and re-
qussrsd us TO contradict the report that
they engaged Mr.. Lindsay We cheer
fully make the contradiction. In our
zeal for the homer of the Unions We pub
lished what We understood to be fact,
and fact. too, which redoundcd to the
credit of the miners of this county. We
are sorry that it was not true. although
We can readily appreciate the justice OF
the principle which the Unions have
adopted, Of oon6ning their operations
to their own territory"
FIRE AT THE Gas WoREs.-About
O'Clock yesterday afternoon there was an
alarm of FIRE. and q dense volume of
black smoke assembled from the premises
OF the gas works. They were boiling
some tar in the yard, when it caught FIRE,
to the imminent danger Of the gas works.
This men at the machine shops of the V.
l. L. Co. rendered prompt and efficient |
assistance, and the fire engines We're |
quickly on the ground. as we'll as great |
many citizens. The hyd.ants near 10y |
We're made use OF. and the fire soon sub !
dued. 1t WAS 4 fortunate escape from
serious damage to the gas works. Frank
Craven. fwho is n gallant fremen. but
was lot in L condition to handle his
limbs with the required activity for
safety. rushed TO the Curry engine which
was being drawn to the fire by an express
wagon. and Was run over by the engine,
the wheel passing over his head and cut
ling and bruisirg it in Il very se.ious
manner. He was conveyed to his home
md medical aid summoned. A fatal re-
'i.!t is feared.
CITY PAYMENTS IN S1LvEE.-Most Of
he tax collected for city purposes IS re-
:eiv ed in small amounts so small that
t necessitstes the receiving OF silver.
there is very little il any
,old coin in the City Treasury. Pay
neE:e are therefore made by the Treas
Irer in the same money he receives. The
akiDS OF silver i'll payment from the
ity may not seem to tine recipient just
he fair thing, but this explanation of
he reason for paying in that coin ought +
D prove that the Treasurer is not at q
ault in the matter.
MAYHEM, as charged 10y Mr.. Brooks

udge Witherell, ir his decision yester- c
ny morning, and the defendant was
