Earl VAMIGTON.S DEATH.
Tragic Result Of shoddyisin in
Phoebe.


The Virginia Chronicle of the 10th
instant makes the following reference
to the affair Of which frequent mention
has already been made in these col
urnns: "a private letter received from
Phoebe gives the correct particulars of
the stabbing of Earl Hamilton by John
Rice. The social circles in that town
y we beer in a continuous ferment for
many years Various feminine cliques
had been formed, from which many
ladies had been excluded by the jeal-
ousy or envy Of certain of the mem-
hers. At one time the town possessed
three rival clubs, all of which gave
dancing parties one a week. The
h~igli-loned club of the place was called
the b. b., and it was controlled en-
tirely by the ladies'. Every week wit
messed exhibitions of exclusiveness
and ~subsequene jealous chickering's.
This club finally fell to pieces and a
new one was formed, OF which Hamil-
ton was a Committeeman n the floor
manager. Rice had applied for admis-
sion to the club NJ \ member, but had
been twice black balled. The pre-
sumed cause of the black balling was
the fact that Rice had gone to one Of
the clup parties with a lady who,
though quiie respectable, was still out
side the circle OF the h~igh-toned club.
Rice went into Hamilton's saloon on
Saturday. the Sth of this month, and
some bitter words ensued between
them. Hamilton drew a fireman's
spanper from behind his bar and struck
Rice over the head with it, when the
latter quickly pulled a bOwie-knife
and stabbed Hamilton just above the
heart, cutting one of his ribs complete
Iv in two. Hamilton fingered in great
suffering until Sunday evening. when
he died. Much sorrow is feltin Phoebe
over the lamentable occurrence, both
men being greatly liked and re-
spected."
PERsoNAL.-Thos. Wren, a promi-
nent LAWYER of Eureka, a member of
the last Legislature and a member OF
| Democratic State Central Committee, is
in town. The arsenic in the fumes
from the lead furnaces are making him
robust and rosy or else old Time
has forgotten him, for he looks as
though his food was the "Bloom OF
Youth " and his drink the water from
the Fountain OF Life"
We clip the above from a late issue
of the Enterprise. Dan De guile is
liable to get himself slaughtered for
assigning Mr.. Wren to the Democratic
Central Committee. MIR. Wren doD't
train with that crowd. lie is An up
ani-up Republican. and is keen to bet
dollars to cents that the Adminisira-
ton does not allow any "guilty maj
to escape"
MATCH GAME OF BILLIARDS. p

place this afternoon AT 3 o'clock, at the
Corner Saloon, bet cen Matt. Conner,
of San Francisco, and the "Unknown,'
from Paiisade, the former discounting
his opponent. Conner manipulates the
worries with the grace and dexteritv of
"A Dion or Vigneaux, and the "Un-
KNOWN" it is said, handles the cue in
a brilliant manner; so that n closely
contested game can he anticipated.
Considerable money will change hands
on the result, both men having strong
hackers.
