RAILROAD OBSTRUCTION.

The SENTINEL yesterday published
an item about an attempt to throw a
train from the track of the Central
Pacific Railroad near Battle Mountain.
The following additional particulars
are from the Silrer State of Friday last:
Yesterday morning AS freight train
No. 8 was on the way from Carlin to
this place, the train men noticed two
men whom they supposed to be
traInps, leave the track, a little west of
Stone House, and skulk behind the
sagebrush where they lay partially
concealed until the train passed by.
Hank Lightner. the engineer, suspect
ed from the actions of the men that
they had been doing some mischief, 80
he kept a sharp look out, and siacken
ed the speed OF the train. A mile or
two west of where the men were seen
he noticed ahead what appeared to be
a mar lying across the track. He
whistled down brakes and the train
was stopped. What appeared to be a
man proved to he a tie, which was laid
across the track and braced with other
ties fixed between the rails so firmly
that the "cow catcher could not push
them aside. The train men are conf
dent that the two fiends who skulked
in the sagebrush placed the ties on the
track, probably from motives of re-
vsnge icr having been put off some
other train on the road. 1t is uufortu-
nate that those cowardly scoundrels
cannot be Identified and punished to
the full extent of the law.

The Eureka Library.

In the Armory Hall, II the corner OF
Main and Clark streets, the Library
Company has fitted up a reading
room. of which any town four times
the size of Eureka might be proud.
At a great deal of labor and outlay the
Association has furnished the room
with files of the best papers and maya
zines, North South, East and West,
and these are accessible from nine in
the morning till eleven at night. with
an attentive librarian to welcome
every one. There are many men out
OF employment, in the camp, who are
perfectly welcome to the use of the
room, and there are many others who
can afford to pay four bits a week for
the run of the papers, magazines and
books, and a plea, ant place in which
TO read and feel at home; and if Eure.
ka cannot afford to support such an
institution, Eureka does not deserve
it. 1t only needs to be known, that
every one. men, women and boys
girls too-and 1.-THE stranger that is
within our gates have access to the
Library, and If they can't avail them
selves OF the privilege, it is their own
fault, and not that of the Association,
which has provided every facility.

All old Downievillians in this State
and their name is legion-will re-
member the subject of this notice. He
was a brother-in-law of Frank NJ.
Proctor, who used TO reside in Eureka.
Tallmadge was All intelligent, vigorous
fellow in his early days. The follow
ing account of his death is from the
Downieville Messenger of May 25th:
Last Sunday, the 20sh instant, George
Tallmadge, an old resident of Downie-
vile, was found dead in the house be-
longing to Richard Jackson, near Han
sens bridge. Not having been seen
for a day or SO, Mr.. Hughes went to
the house to see if anything was wrong
with him, and found him dead. He
was discovered lying AT the bottom of
a short flight of stairs, with head
crushed in, the wound evidently hav-
ing been caused by contact with the
edge of a stair. He had probably been
dead from "A to 50 hours. The proba
bilities are that he returned home Fri
day night, and in the darkness missed
his footing and fell in the position in
which the body was fonnd. One Of his
feet was lying upon tine upper stair,
which is good evidence that he died
without n struggle. The deceased was,
at an early day, Deputy County Clerk,
and married to a daughter of Benja-
min Green. OF late years he has been
dissipated, and it is owing to this fact
that he lost his life in the name he
did

The Jubilee Singers.

The original Tennessee Jubilee Sing.
ers, who have met with the greatest
success wherever appearing, will ar.
rive tonight, and tomorrow evening
they will make their first appearance
before a Eureka audience. The per-
formance of this troupe will be a novel
one. Each member was, before the

the programme to be presented by
them consists of selections from the
many plantation hymns and songs
that they were accustomed to sing at
their camp : meetings and religious
gatherings in the South. The stay of
the company in Eureka is limited 10
iour nights and seats are being
rapidly secured for the entire season.
The troup comes highly recommended
by the press OF the East and West, and
Il exchanges speak Of them in un-
qualified terms of praise. Remember,
the first Jubilee performance takes
place tomorrow night. Reserved seats
can be secured by early application at
the box office of Bigelow's Hall.

The New Gold Fields Of White Pine.
The Ward Rcfer Of the 3lst ult.,
contains the following interesting letter
from this new district:
There are a number of fine quartz
Lodges being prospected, which are
turning out good ore, but it is very
hard to find anything to locate, as
every cropping has a notice on it.
There must be about fifty men pros

small springs, and there Is no doubt
tut there will be a great quantity Of

a good interest with our party in

the Schofield Placer Mining Company.
We have taken up md recorded thirty
acres, running down Cow Creek from

we will have water enough to run two

to find out, but as near as l can judge,
our highest prospect out of a pan ami
a half, was close on to 81 of coarse
gold, which must go about $i7 to the
ounce-onel lump being worth about
one dollar or more. Other pans went
from ten to fifty cents. l believe we
have a good claim, as the creek is long
and shallow, and there is water run
ming down a portion of the distance.
The main canyon is large and dry at
the present time, and cannot be
worked to advantage until the winter
season My friends, Vizan, Nokes
and Heckthorn, have also good dig
gings, which go from twenty TO thirty
cents to the pan.
II you should make use Of this let
ter in any way, be sure and tell your
friends that they must expect to find
everything taken up in the neighbOr-
hood; nevertheless, there are plenty of
lodges all around the district that will
work to great advantage. Messrs. Nell

taking out rich gold rock.

The Big suit.

We committed an uninteniioual err
ror yesterday In publishing the tele-
gram In regard to the big suit between
the Eureka Consolidated and Rich
mond Mining Companies in stating as
T. what Judges it was to be tried be-
FIRE. We published the item as 1t was
gwen to MS aud hence the error. The
names Of the Judges who are to try
the case are not mentioned in the dis
paIch; it reads Ue1'batim as follows:
"SAN Francisco, June l, 1877.
TO Baily and lansing: Hearing in
eureka against Richmond postponed
Indefinitely. Case for trial at San
francisco before Judges, without jury,
July 23d. WREN"
So 1t will be It may be tried be-
fore the Judges named by us yester.
day, or any two Of them, or possibly
any n of them, but as the plural is
used we suppose the stipulation was
to try it at least before some two of
them. Our citizens with us will feel
relieved to learn that this suit, upon
which depends SO materially the inter-
ests Of II camp, Is soon to be deter
mined. Under the former arrange
ment the hearing was to have taken
place on tomorrow. the 4th, and then
The final trial would have, in all prob.
ability been put off until November, II
not a later day. In the meantime, the
uit''nats determination would have
oeen still IN suspense. Therefore we
congratulate ourselves and fellow-citi-
zens that it IL as II Is.

the following handsome compliment:
That excellent paper, the Eureka

that it is highly prosperous. We are

That Mining Trouble

Mr.. Delay, II of the miners inter-
ested in the lease of Orange No. 2, out
of which @ law suit has grown, was in
town yesterday and called at this Of
flee. He says the defendants suspend
ed operations the moment they were
served, but they did not surrender
possession of the ground in dispute,
o do they intend to until the ques-
ton of ownership is decided by the
court. They claim that DR.. Nesbitt
gave them authority to work on any
portion Of his ground, and as the
Union comes within the limits pres
cribed, they assert that they have a
right to its possession. The case is set
for hearing on the 10th instant, when
the whole matter will be definitely
settled.

FASHION
Something Of Interest for she
AdieS

Something OF Interest for ths
Ladies'.
Here is an extract from the Paris
correspondence OF an Eastern journal,
which may probably prove of interest
to the devotees of fashion in Eureka:
"The universal revival Of jet trim
mings is very noticeable, and it is very
pleasant to see, as that article is 80
universally becoming. Bonnets made
entirely OF artificial flowers, and with
a small wreath passing under the chin
instead OF strings, are fantastic and ele-
CANT, and bid fair to become very pop
ular. Ball dresses are made lower in
the neck and more sleeveless than ever,
and Partisan ladies now unveil their
shoulders in a manner that can better
be imagined than described. Seated In
front of her opera box, a Partisan belle
now shows nothing of her attire save
the narrow shoulder straps that do
duty for sleeves, and appears mainly
covered with her long kid gloves.
The newest sun umbrellas of the sea-
son are in mandarine lined with cardi-
nal-a horrible combination, and not

almost superseded note paper for notes
and invitations; they must have en-.
velopes exactly matching in size, and

popular. An extremely pretty bon.
net for half mourning is in black net,
