He declared that all the preceding trou-

heartily 10 the doctrine that the power to
count the electoral votes belonged to both

held BY one Of the great parties of the
country, and "a neither party we're willing
to yield iis convictions on that point, the

arise above partisan feelings and adopt a
mode of settlement that would ride over
difficulties and avert the danger of war.

FIRE I!

The alarm of yesterday morning at hall
past three o'clock was caused by fire break
ing out in the back part of Magees saloon.
The flames were discovered issuing from the
keno room, the alarm given, and although the
wind was blowing furiously at the time the
fire was extinguished in short time. The
danger from confagration was so great that
everybody seemed to be on the alert, and the
gong had scarcely sounded when the streets
were alive with men. The department res
pended with it's usual alacrity. The Warrens
were the first to get their water on the fire
Their hose was attached to the hydrant in
front of Rails store and the stream turned on
the building without delay The loss was not
very great The keno boards were saved and
were sluiced off before noon. The cold man"
who presides on the wall, was unscathed and
the innocent game went on as usual last night
1t is very fortunate that the fire spread no
further A look at the close proximity of the
lamp room with its infammables, attests the
effectiveness and promptitude of the work
done. Not wick was bnrned and not drop
of kerosene touched by the flames. Of course
there are suspicious of incendarism, as there
always are in such cases-for nobody knows
how the fire originated. 1t is thought likely,
however, that lighted cigar, carelessly drop
ped where the high wind could fan its fire
into a fame may have been the cause. The
escape was a narrow one, for fire on such a
night, once under Roadway, would endanger
the most important part of the town.

OPHIR, ITS EXCITEMENT, ITS HORSE
AND ITS ASSAYS.

Ophir touched Al yesterday. Likely
enough it went higher. At all events it was
booming To boom, in the stocker's lexicon
is to take a jump upwards. Ophir jumped
yesterday and was jumped for. Thousands of
shares changed hands. AS to the character of
the ore found in the new drifts the Gold Hill
News says: The Comstock spectators are
wild to-day. They are all determined to make
their lasting fortunes in Ophir, and large
ord ers for that stock have been received by
our local brokers. The recent development
was visited yesterday by Frank Osbiston, W.
H. Smith and Robert F. Pixley, all mining
experts, who took samples of the rock Assays
from these samples ranged from $500 to 5000
to the ton. W. H. Smith and John Pagan
made another visit to the mine today, and the
average of their assays was $40O per ton. All
these assays were from the drift running south
on the ledge. The entire face is in good ore,
and the ore body is enlarging in that direction.
The north drift on that ledge is in broken
quartz and porphyry. The diamond drill
running east is making slow progress. All
who have recently visited the development
are more than ever pleased with it. In con-
versation with a News reporter to-day Mr..
Osbiston said he considered the prospects of
the mine very good

Of some very fine Oregon beeves the Silver
State of Thursday says: Cook Brothers, of

800 head of cattle here for shipment to San
Francisco, Over 600 head of the drove are

and the rest were shipped last night "Mon-
tana, who is good judge of beeves, says
they are the finest lot of cattle ever brought
here from OREGON.

Magees, night before last, the wind being

CoNvALEsCENT INDIANs.-Of the sore
footed braves lately mentioned by the Rev
ellie, that paper in its issue of Wednesday
says: Breckenridge, the Piute "Capitan,"
called on US this morning, and stated that he
had just arrived from Saltwater, the head
quarters of the Piute tribe, and that the In
dams there who had been afflicted with a
swelling of the hands and feet were rapidly
recovering from the ailment. He states that
he had a severe dose of the affection himself,
but is now able to play poker without the use
of crutches and to tackle mountain of cold
grub if it was set before him.

RESTRAINING THE BoYs.-By yesterday S
Enterprise we are informed as follows "Cap-
tain Byrne has received instruction through
Chief Breen and the Police Commissioners
to strictly enforce the ordinance against boys
running at large in the streets after o'clock.
If parents do not wish to find their young
hopefuls in the lookup in the morning, they
will please take notice, and govern them
selves and their families accordingly" The
city authorities of Virginia are to be COM
mended for their manner of dealing with a
very important question. The MORNING
APPEAL begs to suggest to the Town Faith
ers of Carson City that they emulate the ex
ample of their brethren of Virginia and pass
an ordinance whose intent and effect would
be to restrain the boys of Carson from the
demoraliziug practices of night-prowling
upon the street and in the saloons. Hood
lumism is rampant and will never be any-the
less so until something is done to keep boys
within doors or under proper guardianship
after dark.

Beatty, whose illness was mentioned in our

remember Spargo's Saturday night soirees.
This is Saturday. Therefore there will be

dancing, good leadership, good company,
these are to be taken into consideration
The initial party of the Au Fait Club last
