Yesterday the intelligence was re-
ceived in town that the manage
ment as we'll as proprietorship Of
the Justice mine had changed
hands. and that the mills in Gold
Canyon, with the exception OF the
Pacific. was to be shut down as
soon as the supply of ore on hand
was exhausted. We traced the ru-
NOR to reliable source. The Ex-
celsior. Kelsey, Shei man, Pioneer,
DEVILS Gate, Atlas and Succor
mills, will be the ones that will
have to close down, while the Mexi-
can, at Empire City tho Santiago,
Franklin and Vivian will be pressed
into service-all water mills. The
ore from the Justice will be hauled
in wagons to the terminus of the
Overman switch, where it will be
shipped on cars of the V. T. Rail
road. 1t is said that the contract
for hauling ore to the Eureka will
be rescinded, and that ore for that
mill will take the same channel
This change will throw q large num-
her OF men out of employment in
this neighborhood, while it will
give employment to others. Opin-
ion is generally divided as to
whether it will benefit or injnre the
prospects Of this camp. It certainly
will have the effect to depress mat
ters for time, but all hope for a
reaction.

Mr. HARPER 1T seems there was
real danger up TO Saturday morning, of
a duel between Senators Gordon aud
Conkling. But friends interfered and
the trouble is not only settled, but the
settlement made matter of recocd ia the
Senate. Senators Ransom and Hamlin
were the active parties in bringing a.
bout this desirable result.
After all the House passed the def
cheney bill with the additional sums,
amounting to more than i million, add
ed by the Senate.
Senator Matthews silver resolutions

of Senator NJ. had much TO do with this
BY refusing to vote. and thus leaving

Senator Butler, OF South Carolina,
just prior to adjournment on Saturday,
presented resolution requiring the pro.
per committee TO investigate the means
10y which the votes of Senator Patterson
and Conover were secured i'm favor of
his (Butler's) admission. This OF course,
is because Senator Edwards, when the
question of admission was up, made

has just done one thing, however, which
shows that he means To be the heal OF
his Department. lie has issued AN or
der to prevent lobbying before Congress
by Chiefs of Bureaus under him. This
nuisance had become intolerable. One

CRIME N TIE NoRTH.-A most hor-
riblc crime is reported from Westport,
Conn. a contemporary says: "a young
girl only &c years old is abducted by
two men who stripped the clothing from
her, and dressed her in O suit of mems
clothing they had with them, muffiing
her up in her fathers over coat, which
they found hanging behind the door.
In this condition they dragged her to
the door, lifted her into the wagon, and
drove away passing at one time within
hail of the father at his work.
On Friday evening thirty six hours
altcrrwad, the girl awoke to conscious
ness in q darkened room on the outskirts
OF New Brita II, Conn, thirty.six miles
away. Here her captors forced her to
drink drugged whisky, from the effects
Of which she had in semiunconscious
state for several days. While in this con.
diton her captors repeatedly assaulted
her, and even added blows and drunken
abuse to their other vile treatment. The
room in which she was confined was
darkened by green shades, and contain.
cd only lounge and two chairs. Her
food was cold turkey and chicken Tie
men talked very little,and we're general
~ in the room with her together. At
times they went out and locked tho door.
leaving her alone for hours. She had
no notion of the time, the room being
almost as dark in The daytime as al
night.
After four days Of this treatment
they released her, having Grstcut or hen
hair short like n boys and charged her
not to tell any Of what they had done
on pain of further violence. They also
told her That she had better speak 60 ma
ono, as il was criminal oTensc for q
girl TO be found in male attire. and shc
would certainly be sent TO State prison
if discovered.
