CAPTAIN WADDELL.

In the San Francisco dispatches we find the
following
San Francisco, June 25.--The decision of
the United States inspector of hulls and boil
ers in the case of the loss of the steamship
City of San Francisco has been forwarded to
Mr.. Bemis, district Inspector It has not
been made public as yet, but Captain Waddell
has been notified that his certificate as cap
tain in the merchant marine has been sus-
pended for one year. The ground alleged is
that he did not use sufficient care while run
ming along portion of the coast where shoals
and dangers are known to exist, although not
marked upon the charts. Waddell will ap-
peal from this finding if approved, and if nee
essary he will bring the whole matter before
Congress
Captain Waddell got some notoriety for
himself by being the commander of the rebel
cruiser, Shenandoah which destroyed so many
whalers in the Pacific. Being mariner, land,
doubtless quite a skilled one, he had right
to expect employment in his line of business
A Confederate majority being in the House of
Representatives, the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company shrewdly thought it best to placate
afforded SO they baited their possible sub
sidy bills with Waddell. That's how he is in
command of Pacific Mail Steamer, while not
any of the whaleship captains whose property
he destroyed-and who are too good sailors to
sink any ship in plain sailing and calm weather
over any course on the Pacifc-have not got
any billet that can be given out by that COM
panY. Mr., Bemis is Black Republican.
Possibly he is prejudiced. We hope he is.
We like people who prefer Yankee shippers
who can reef hand and steer, to rebel cruisers
who have genius for ship burning, piracy
and wrecking SO Mr.. Waddell will appeal
to congress. OF course he will. And every
grey-back in the House of Representatives
will get up and fight for him. He represents
the Lost Cause. The L. c. is too precious
thing Sab to be cuffed about the ears by any
small Yankee inspector of hulls, What are
hulls good for if Cap'n Waddell is to be
stranded What's the good of having any
commerce if the Lords Amounted are to be at
the caprice of a deluded blue bellied mack
erel-catcher? There has been bayonet-rule
long enough Yankees have insulted the
gentlemen of the Sooth quite sufficiently,
Sab and its "our" turn now. We will
squelch this impndent fellow Bemis and rein
state Captain Waddell-or the Era of Concili-
alton don't 90

A NITRO-GLYCERINE EXPLOSION.

OF fatal explosion of nitro-glycerine
which took place at Reno on Monday morn
ing, the Reno Gazette of Monday evening
says:
A few minutes past o'clock this morning
all Reno was aroused by loud report and
the shaking of the windows and other parts
of the public and private buildings in town
In few minutes the streets were lined with
persons Smoke was seen ascending from
the Vulcan Powder Works, located about
one mile below town on the river bank, and
all then knew that an explosion at the above
works had occurred Great crowds of men
fiocked to the scene of devastation, all fear
ing that some accident fatal to one or more
of the employees had occurred.
On arriving at the spot we found that the
grinding and mixing house had been blown
to the four winds. One Chinaman named
All Chew had been horribly mangled and
had been thrown a distance of about - feet
from where the building stood. The poor
fellow never knew what hurt him. Another
Chinaman named All Low, but generally
called ''Old John" had Just been removed
from the ruins and lay upon the bank just
alive and suffering great pain. His wounds
were terrible. All parts of his body were in
iured yet he lay there talking to some of
his Chinese friends about his blankets.
Mr.. Sanders at once took him to Chinatown,
where he died in a few minutes time-hving
about one hour after the accident A third
Chinaman, who usually works in the mixing
house, happened at the time to be in build
ing about 100 feet distant, where the nitric
acid and glycerine are kept, and where these
inexplosive compounds are mixed to form
that terribly dangerous ompound-nitro
glycerne Mr. H W. NHnugh, foreman of
the works, had Just taken over about thirty
pounds of nitro gycerine to the mixing
house, and had not been at the g ycerine
room over a minute and half when the ex-
plosion occurred. He was standing with his
back to the building, and although distant
not more than 100 feet, he scarcely |
felt the sudden conclusion of the air. The |
explosion seems not to have been equal in |
all directions, but mainly in semi-circle; |
the principal explosive force being exerted |
to the north, west and south. Hence the |
greater loudness and severity of the shock
felt by the citizens of Reno than to those
even at less distance but oppositely situat-
ed. B. A. Oleson, a Swede, was working in
the glycerine room but scarcely felt the
he shock. Mr.. j. B. Cooper, who delivers
he Vulcan powder in town, had just return
ID with his express wagon and had passed
he mixing room only some 80 feet at the
lime of the explosion. He was to the east of
he building, however, and thus escaped
One of the remarkable features of the blow
lp was the fneness ofthe scattered fragments
# the building. Splinters were lying thick
nd for considerable distance in the semi
ircle spkoen of.

A MURDERED SHEPERD.

OF the killing of an employe upon a Hum
boldt sheep range the Silver State of Monday
says:
Last Saturday an affray occurred at Nelson S
ranch on the Humboldt river, three miles
from the Stone House, in which a German
known as Charley, who was employed as a
dead by his employer. Immediately after
the killing Nelson went to Battle Mountain
and telegraphed for Coroner Bell to 90 to his
ranch and hold an inquest on the remains.
Yesterday jury, consisting of R. V. Kelley
A. Dunlap, c. E. Ames, j. w. McWilliams,
Aaron Lindley and j. B. Craig, was sworn by
Coroner Bell to inquire into the cause of the
death of the deceased Eight witnesses, in
Guiding Mrs. Nelson and girl aged ten years,
who were both present at the time the fatal
shot was fired, were examined, and the sub
stance Of their testimony is as follows Sat
urday Nelson told Charley, who had been in
his employ since last April, to fix bridge
across a slough, that the sheep might cross it.
Charley replied that he was hired, to herd
sheep not to build bridges. Nelson made no
reply and both went to the corral where men
were engaged shearing sheep. Charley said
he wanted his money and Nelson said come
into the house and you shall have it.
Between the corral and the house Charley
picked up a piece of board and swung it
around. To avoid trouble Nelson went to
another of his men, named Cardell, and
asked him to take some nails and fix the
bridge. Fearing that Charley would abuse
his wife Nelson went into the house and set
tied with him, giving him an order on J. W.
McWilliams for the amount due him. They
had no difficulty in settling, but after Charley
took the order he abused Nelson and his wife
shamefully, and took the three legged stool
on which he was sitting and attacked Nelson,
who warded off the blows and retreated until
he was cornered, when he saw no alternative
but to die or shoot His wife screamed for
help and Nelson fired his pistol at Charley,
who ran out of the house and fell about
twenty-five feet from the door. Nelson then
went to the corral where his men were shear
ing sheep, and got them to examine Charley,
who was found to be shot in the breast about
two inches from the right nipple. He was
taken into the house, where he expired in
fifteen minutes
The jury found that the deceased was
German called Charley, whose full name was
unknown; that he was about 40 years of age;
that he came to his death from a shot fired
from pistol in the hands of Thomas Nelson
and that from the evidence adduced, they
deemed it justifable homicide.

The blood stock is asserting itself. A tele-
gram states that % Prince Alexander RuspoG
is about to marry Miss Broadwood, an Ameri-
can lady" This is pleasant information.
We, the American people, are getting our
selves recognized. By and by, perhaps, when
a diet of Goldfish balls is considered by a dis
eliminating world, as respectable as feeding
of maccaroni, some poor American gentleman
will be permitted to marry Princess of the
royal blood who needs shoe money and whose
stomach yearns for a sustaining meal. He
will be allowed, after many gracious audien-
ces, to consign his honest earnings to the
worm-eaten exchequer of some barefooted
princess whose condition would be benefited
by a vigorous scrubbing, whose Windsor is
never of the Old Brown variety, and whose
CASTLE ignores, as a plebian thing, the sapon-
aceous substantive that has wormed its fame
along into the world of bath tubs, and wash
ing bowls and laundries. When this better
age shall have arrived, the Era of Good Feel
ing will have become international, universal,
and altogether lovely.

GONG TO THE WARS. The Silver State of
Monday describes the moving of some troops
as follows:
Early this morning the inspiring notes of
the bugle awakened the citizens of Winnie
mucca and aroused the sleeping troops camped
near the railroad. The camp was alive with
men saddling horses, Harvesting mules and
packing up preparatory to leaving for the
scene of the Indian hostilities in Idaho At
I o'clock the command left camp and the
column, headed by Major Sanford and Cap
tain Sumner, marched through town, making
very imposing array 1t consists of Com
panies D and l, First GALAXY, commanded
respectfully by Captain Sumner and Carr,
and Lieutenants Cressen and Hunter, and
Surgeon Newlands and 112 enlisted men,
They will be joined at OIcDermit by Company
c First Calalry, Captain Wagner cammand-
ing Each company is provided with
Calling gun, capable of firing seventy shots
a minute. These guns are mounted on
wheels but may be detached from their
carriages and placed in position on nights or
elevations inaccessible for
wheeled vehicles. The men behaved well
while in town, and each and all of them were
in their saddle leaving town. We wish the
boys unbounded success, and have no doubt
Of their making good record for themselves
should opportunity offer, as they are all &C
to frontier life, and their officers
Are experienced Indian fighters.

The Osceola diggings in White Pine county
are the subject of the following letter which
we find in the Phoebe Record of Saturday
last:
We have before US letter addressed to j.
n. Curtis, from Mattson, dated June 49, He
says the mill is on the ground ready to be
erected. The placer excitement is increasing
and raging. A nugget was found below tho
claim owned by Mattson, Curtis and Smith,
the weight of which is twenty-five ounces,
valued at $500. Their claim is looking fair,
work is progressing rapidly. There is no
chance to locate so there is no use for rush
of men to that place, although dirt pans out
from one to five dollars pan. Two stages
are now running between Ward and Osceola.
There are four saloons in full blast, also one
store, one butcher shop and one restaurant.
Hecksthron is improving daily and will be
around at work again soon,

MARBLEHEAD IN ASHES. -

MARBLEHEAD IN AsHEs.-The press dis
patches bring us the following
Boston, June 25.-A fire at Marblehead this
morning destroyed nearly the entire business
portion of the town. The fire began in the
stable of the Hathaway House and spread to
the hotel and other buildings All the large
shoe manufactures were burned. They were
mostly large wooden buildings filled with ma
chinery and furnishing employment to hun
dreds of men and women. The Eastern rail
road depot, seven passenger cars and a num-
Der of freight cars were burned Over forty
dwelling houses were consumed, and their oc-
cupants saved but very small portion of
their furniture, and many families only the
clothes they had on. Seventy-two buildings
in all were consumed. 1t is impossible to
make an estimate of the loss or insurance.
The fire is now under control

that property the Record of Saturday says:
The Alps Company had an unexpired lease
on the mill which was to have run until the

Blair informs us that the
company will lose $4,000 by the burning of
supplies, etc.
