fair valuation, in consideration of the
fact that most of the other counties in
the State through which the road runs
has reduced the assessment to $4,000,
and in making Il contest Eureka
county would have to make the fight
single-handed and alone, involving II
heavy expense in litigation, we think
the Board acted wisely and for the best
interests of the county in making the
order. 1t is to be hoped, however, that
next year a combination will De made
by the several counties bordering on the
road to act in concert, sharing the ex-
pense of a lawsuit which will settle the
question for all time and compel the
railroad company to pay an amount of
taxes proportionate to the actual value
OF their property.
A FUNERAL ACCIDENT.-While re-
turning from the funeral, last Sunday,
Mr.. B.. Rothschild met with an acci-
dent, which, while it did not result in
any serious injury, rendered his face
and body like unto the books sold by
agents by subscription, by which we
mean to say that they were ~profusely
illustrated with cuts. There were three
men in the wagon, Mr.. Rothschild,
Adolph Langschore and another
whose name we do MOI know. Laugs-
chore was driving, it being his first
experience in that line-or rather,
lines. lie thought the horse could
run, but he did not know how fast,
aud he was determined to test the mat
ter to his own satisfaction. SO he
urged the horse with whip and voice
and the animal obeyed by running.
1t was one of those horses that, like a
fool talking, never knows when to
stop, and it kept on running until the
occupants of the wagon began To think
the speed too great for comfort. The
driver tried to pull up the horse, but
the animal refused to be pulled up,
and the consequence was that Mr..
Rothschild was tossed out of the way
on, striking the ground violently and
cutting and bruising his body severe
~. The driver was unhurt; tie third
man jumped out ver the tail board
and sustained no injury except a frac-
ture of that portion of his p~antaloons
on which he sat down very suddenly,
and the wagon was bunged up and
broken so that the services of a veter-
mary will be necessary to
cure the horse, which broke its leg in
two places and vas shot to save its
life. The animal was valued at $3.50
and was the property of Charles Fisk.
TENANT ON THE POLITICAL OUT
LooK.-T. J. Tenant, who is in town,
has given us his figures on the pre>i.
dental election. He says that Hayes
will have 202 electoral votes, against
1877 for Tilden. He further says that
Tilden will have a majority of $50, 900
on the popular vote of the United
States, which will come from Texas,
Alabama, Kentucky, Arkasas, Vir.
GINA and Missouri. Tom, we have no
doubt, is right about Tilden getting the
popular vote, but we think he is mis-
taken in his estimate of the electoral
college. We are playing for Tilden to
win both heats.
For SALE.-J. c. Brown offers for
sale his dwelling on Spring street, with
or without the furniture. The house
is in excellent repair and is one of the
finest dwellings in town. 1t is in a
good locality and is in every respect a
most desirable family residence. 1t is
completely furnished throughout and
will be sold with or without the fur
niture, at the option of the purchaser.
Here is an opportunity for a good bar
gain.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS at noon there
were 9l7 names resistered at Justice
Beatty's office. The registry list
closes at 6 o'clock, on the evening of
Friday, the 10th instant; consequently,
less than three weeks remain for voters
to fix themselves to exercise the cleo
tive franchise. 1t is to be hoped that
every person in the county who is en-
titled to vote will interview the Regis
try Agent of his precinct and have his
name placed upon the list.
CHINESE FESTIVAL. Yesterday was
the Chinese Festival of the Full Moon,
and it was generally observed by those
of the residents of Eureka whose heads

ers, bombs, joss paper and the other
ceremoniais of Chinese religious OBJ
were freely INDUCED in, to
the annoyance of c~hurch-goerS and

GETTING BETTER.-Charles Haupt,
who was stabbed by Ike Ballinger,
Sunday morning, in a dance house on
Buel street, contrary to the expectation
of every one, is getting better and the
chances are favorable for his recovery,
Ballinger, the young man who did the
cutting, is in Jail and will not be ex-
amined until the result of the wound is
known.
No MEETING.-The Board of County
Commissioners held no meeting yes
terday for the allowance of bills. The
meeting was passed over on account o.
the scarcity of money in the treasury,
most of the funds being in a depleted
condition. A meeting will he held or
the first Monday of next month, when
the county Golfers, it is hoped, will be
in a more healthy state.
