SATURDAYS STORM. 49, The rain
which came suddenly down on Sat
urday was almost unprecedented in
violence. Ii commenced to pour
about / o'clock down here, but it
had a. that time been raining heav-
lily in Virginia and Gold Hill for
some time. The storm came from
the northwest. and was accompa-
MED by loud rolling thunder and
some stray flashes Of lightning. All
the little gully ways were soon filed
with water. which poured down in
. the direction of the creek with
erea, rapidity, carrying any amount
OF Rubbish in its course and swell
lag that stream beyond all ordinary
proportion. The rain from Gold
Hill and the canyon this side, of
which the Devils Gate is the natu-
raj outlet, soon came down and
made roaring torrent of what or
dinarily is but PERCEPTIONS Quite,
for tailings aud water pumped from
the mines. Its noise conld be heard
all about town aud. the rain having
ceased, many rushed down ~ the
banks to see expected wrecks.
Nothing in this line occurred, how
ever. worthy of anybody's interest
ed notice. Some little damage was
done all along the line from Gold
Hill down to where the stream de-
bouches into a wider channel, Sew
eral sluice boxes were carried down.
and some detention was occasioued
to the Bacon aud Trench mills, but
that was all. Yesterday men were
employed repairing tae slight dam
age. Had the rain continued for
half an hour longer (which such
heavy rains seldom dol serious
damage would have been the result.
There was no cloudburst, as some
supposed there was. 1t was merely
a fall Of rain so rapid that the or
binary outlets were inadequate to
carry it of.

Fatal Shooting in virginia.

We copy the following from The
Enterprise concerning the shooting
of John Sullivan by James Harring-
ton in Virginia on Saturday after
noon. We will add that woman,
sister of Harrington's is said by men
here who knew them, to have been
the cause of the shooting. Sullivan
wanted to marry the girl, and Har-
ington declared that he should not.
Hence bitter feelings grew up. The
Enterprise says:
Persons who were on the street
and witnessed the shooting say that
Sullivan was a good deal intoxicated,
and in maudlin way was coaXing
and pulling at Harrington to get
him to go down the street with hlm
To get n drink or something of the
kind. Harrington seemed in bad
humor, and told Sullivan to let him
alone, saying: "You will tear my
! coat" etc. Sullivan still insisted,
pulling and hauling in drunken
way, when Harrington struck him
| with his fist and then instantly drew
his pistol and, placing it at Sullivan's
breast. fired. Both men tell upon
the sidewalk, Sullivan falling upon
or across Harrington. Harrington
still COZ tinued to use his pistol, firing
rapidly as he lay upon the sidewalk.
He fired four shots, when he got up,
put his pistol into his pocket and
started southwark along c street.
There was no policeman in the neigh
borhood, but officer Morrow, special
at Cowan IL Silter's saloon, No. &c,
soon came up and followed after and
arrested Harrington. Sullivan re-
/ ceived two balls through the heart,
hardly an inch apart, and one nearly
in the centre of the breast and fourth
through the right hip.
Harrington was lodged in the
County Jail. but it being seen to-
ward evening that the people were
likely to make a raid on the Jail and
string the murderer up. Sheriff
Kelly got him away and, putting
him aboard of train, took him to
Carson. Had he been allowed to
remain in this city "60l" would I'M
douhtedly have had a moose about
his neck before midnight.
Harrington has bad record. He
killed man in Montana, one in
Cottonwood, Utah. and in Phoebe
he killed John Lynch and wound
ed three other men, one of whom
died week or two after being shot.
A man who claims to know some
thing of Harrington's history says
that he also killed two men in Ari-
IONA, but this is probably mis-
take. The pistol used by Harring-
ton yesterday was a French self
cocker with six chambers and car:
rying q large slug ball,

GEOLOGICAL. - Professor Frank
Stewart, the we'll known scientist, adj.
vertises in another column that he
will make scientific explorations Of
mines of all kinds anywhere west OF
the Rocky Mountains, make reports
upon the same and perform all the
duties of a geologist and mining ex-
pert. Professor Stewart is perfectly
familiar with the minerals of Nevada,
as well as with its peculiar geological
characteristics, and is as reliable as
he is learned.

RATHER QUrEr,-This portion of
Gods footstool has for the past few
days oeen unusually quiet The
shutting down of some OF the mines
is no doubt the cause. There is so
little stirring ON the streets that a
reporter finds nothing of greater in
terest or magnitude from morn till
night but an occasional dog fight.
The spell of men fighting that char
acterized the close of last week and
lent some zest to life in thcseparts
has completely died away, and con-
stables, lawyers, judge and veteran
iurymen now await in vain some eN-
isting occurrence. Yesterday was
good for dog fights. Several occurred
in the afternoon, but by the interior
ence of some malicious outsiders the
interest of the thing was i'll each case
destroyed. No single combat oc,
Cured that merited mention in a
newspaper, and all ofthem combined
scarcely possess any public signit
canoe. II all the dogs in town should
engage in warfare based upon senti-
ments of barbarism and fought with
view to total determination OF the
canine race it would be good thing.

DROWNED IN A MINE--When the
storm of Saturday had passed its
hight stream Of water came down
Gold Canyon so great in volume that
drain level leading from the
Lady Washington mine was filled,
and four men who were in the shaft
put in danger of their lives. They
at once rang the bell to be huisted to
the surface, aud the cage was lowered
as speedily as possible. Only two
OF the men got on the cage and were
taken up; the Others, for some I'M
explained reason, remaining. One
of these escaped into the pump shaft
and climbed beyond the water level.
A man attempted to rescue them by
going down on the cage, but the
water poured il upon him So that he
was in danger Of being drowned, and
had to ring the bell to hoist. When
the water ceased 10 flow through the
drain tunnel the cage WAS lowered
and search made for the men. The
man who was in the pump shaft was
all right. The other could not be
found. When the water was pumped
out his body was discovered He
had evidently tried to climb up on
the timbers, but fell, striking his
head against beam and falling help
less into the water. His name was
