Carson daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1873-1877, 1877-02-03

TIE ravaces Of that terrible disease,
diphtheria, is not alone confined 10 ="
few families in Carson. but it ia raging
With great violence in other towns on
the Coast. In Salem and Albany IN
Oregon, it has almost assumed the iofin
Of an endemic, and child after chiid Is
snccnmbine to it's attacks. The physl-
cians nre holding public meetings to dis-
once the situation in detail. and the
Schools are TO be temporarily suspended Y.
That this disease will pass from one
child to another is very evident. ana IN
consequence these Oregon PHYSICIANS
have recommended the discontinuance
Of the practice OF taking the bodies OF
persons who have died of the disease
into churches or public places prior 10
the burial.
Yesterday the first afternoon ses-
sion of the House was held. The
bill under consideration was that
one relating to the boundary line OF
Elko and Eureka counties, and a
great deal of interest was manifested
in The discussion. When the time
for the special order came the
Speaker announced the fact, and
soon after the ball was opened by o
very neat and appropriate speech
from Mr.. Smith Of Eureka. Then
other speeches followed, and the ar
guments on both sides were pre-
sented thick and fast. The Eureka
men we're victorious in the end, and
the vote will be found elewhere IN
this paper.
There has been q reduction in the
charges at the Palace Hotel in San
Francisco. We call attention to the
advertisement in this paper announc-
ing the fact. The accommodations
will be as grand and elegant as in
the past, but the price per day will
be considerably below those when
have been in vogue. This is not only
the best hotel on the Pacific Coast,
but it is one of the largest and most
complete in the world, and strangers
to the Bay would do we'll to avail
themselves of its magnificent accom-,
modations. The price for board and
room will hereafter range from 50
per day and upwards.
A meeting of the creditors OF Kelly
& Hofer was held last evening IN the
District Court room, for the purpose
of devising some plan of action to be
pursued in regard to this firm. A
committee of five, consisting OF
Messrs. Freddy, Forbes, James Nc
Intosh and Grindley, were appointed
to enquire into its affairs and report
as soon as possible. More than lOO
persons we're present, all of whom
are sufferers to a greater or less ex-
tent in the failure of this firm. 1t IS
pitiable in the extreme to hear the
accounts of some of these sufferers
who have been stripped OF their hard
earned gains.
George Francis Train says that the
great men who control the interests
of the Comstock go four in hand.
Sixteen years ago it was Austin,
Lent. Smith and Garrison; eight
wears afterwards it was Ralston.
Sharon, Jones and Harvard; five years
ago it was Flood, O'Brien, Mackey
and Fair, and now Wright, Baldwin,
Monroe and Keene are coming in
sight. He also says that this Nevada
Ell Dorado has always been a four
in hand gambling shop.
To-day the first meeting on Satur-
day of the session will be held, and
the final vote on the State Prison
bill will be reached. The committee
which was appointed to visit the
Prison have been very active in their
work, and their report will add an
additional interest to the proceed
ings. Nearly every MEMBERS prob
ably we'll conversant with the subject,
but how the vote will result no one
can accurately determine.
The question now in the House is
as to Mr.. Griswold's county. The
Mineral Hill strip is now virtually a
part and parcel Of Eureka, and as it
is there the gentleman resides, shall
he henceforth be known as the "gen-
man from Elko or the gentleman
from Eureka?"
On account OF the water strike made
in the Bullion on Thursday evening all
work is stopped at present on the 1900
and 100 foot levels. The water is very
hot, and is said to come from the ore
vein in the first level named. The water
is being pumped out through the Impe-
rial incline.
The Bogardus and DAILY match
which was to have como off to-day in
Carson, is postponed on account OF
the absence of the principals. They
are in San Francisco.
The next Legislative social will be held
at The Ormsbv House on Monday even.
