There is probably no stage line in

We noticed on Saturday in front
of GiIlig's hardware store ten or
twelve kegs, or what had been kegs

REPORTED SUICIDE.-At a late
hour we are informed that a man
named Gillespie residing in Gold
Hill committed suicide yesterday af-
ternoon by taking poison. He leaves
wife and five children to mourn his
loss. Our informant was unable TO
learn the particulars regarding this
sad affair, and the information came
too late to dispatch reporter and
get the matter in time for press. We
believe, however, he was in some
way connected with the New York
mine. .r -.....,-. .f."

THE RA0E.-The race last Satur-
day, the second between Keno, of
Sutro, and Holy Terror, Of Dayton,
was easily won by the latter by over
40 feet. We suppose this settles the
matter as to the relative speed of the
two nags. There was also a scrub
race between another Sutro horse and
Hank Lufkins, of Dayton, the latter
horse also being victorious. Why
don't some of our Silver sportsmen
challenge the winner. We have a
few fast nags. s

PERPpcrIoy.- Nothing is more

PERFBcTIoN.-- Nothing is more
difficult to attain than even COM
parative degree of perfection. In
professions and scholastic attain
ments proficiency may be acquired
by wears of self-deaial and hard
study, but in some branches of trade
a fine taste, keen sense of the beau
ties as presented to the eye or sug-
eested to'the fancy, are needed. If
anyone will visit the magnificent
dry goods establishment of A. Vaen-
berg, No. 80 South @ street, they will
observe by his elegant stock of
goods that they have been selected
by one who thoroughly understands
"No. los" is an even number, and
it is more than an even thing that
the finest assortment of boots, shoes,
gators, etc., are to be found at that
place, South G street, IN the large
store of c.. A. Noltemeier, of any
other establishment in the State.
Step in and take look at his spring
styles.

FIRE! FIRE!-Yesterday morning
at about ten o'clock the alarm Of
fire was given by the Indians from
their campoodie on the hill opposite
the town, which attracted the atten-
ton of parties on the street. Still
some time elapsed before it was dis
covered, and not then until smoke
from the roof of the TIMES office
showed that to be the point of dan
ger. Willing bands soon had suf-
ficient water upon it to extinguish
the growing flames. The safety of
the building as well as those adj
joining it was due to the precaution
of Claus Becker, who keeps upon
the veranda of his house several
barrels of water. The fire brigade,
headed by "Senator" Jones, soon
had the Babcock out, but unfortu-
pately, owing to disuse, they did
not work well, and by the time they
did. the fire was out. Altogether it
was narrow escape. The fire was
robably caused by spark. as very
little fire was in the office at the
time.

DEATH SENTENCE PosrPoNED.--
Saturday was the day set for passing
the death sentence on Peter Larkin
for the murder Of Dan Corcoran, but
it was postponed till next Saturday,
in order to give District Attorney
Lindsay time to examine and amend
the bill of exceptions, which had not
been handed him until late. The
prisoner appeared quite calm and
collected, and was apparently little
discomposed by the number of spec
tators present, who had gathered
there out of morbid curiotity to watch
the man listen to the doomed words.

Two WaterviiIe Waterman Assaulted ut
Midnight-The Wouid-be Robbers
Frightened OF.
VAUDEVILLE, Nov. % About midnight az
George Vigne, private Waterman, was going
to the Waterville National Bank to lunch with
the bank and town Waterman, Augustus
Wood, he saw two men coming from behind
the bank building who almost Immediately at
tackled him, threatening his life if he made any
resistance. With commendable courage, how
ever, while pistol was held at his head, he
cried murder" when they gave him terrible
blow and fled. He fred twice at them without
effect, Vigne's cry and his pistol shots brought
several persons to his assistance, who soon
learned that Wood was missing. Being I'M
able to find him a general alarm was given at
1886, when thorough search was begun, which
resulted in finding him in a horse shed in the
rear of the Catholic church, bound hand
and foot, bllndfolded aud his ears filed with
cotton.
Wood states that he was met on Silver street
by four men, one of whom said: Good even
ing. You are the man we are looking for.'
Then all four att acked him and took him to
the shed, two standing guard until the report
of Vigne's pistol was heard, when one left.
and soon after the other Wood thinks he
could identify one, but as yet nothing has been
discovered to lead to their detection The cti-
zens of this quiet, orderly town are very much
excited over the affair. All feel that a bold,
pre-arr arged plan of bank robbery has been
defeated, which, but for Vigne, who has been
hired for the past month only by a few indi-
viduals to watch their private residences, might
have proved successful.
The Savings Bank Commission,
AUGUSTA, Nov. 23.-At the last session of
the Legislature commissioners were appointed
to codify and amend the savings bank laws of
the state. They have been at work upon the
subject for several months and day met in
this city to perfect bill which is to be sub
mitted to the next Legislature. 1t is under
stood the main features of the bill have been
decided upon. They recommend limiting the
semi-annual dividends to q per cent. instead
OF as now authorized, and reduction of the
bank tax from QA-half to one-fourth of one
per cent semi-annually; also that money shall
not be loaned on security of names alone.
