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

This promises to be a lively week
in the Legislature. The Reform
School bill was the subject OF dis
cussion yesterday, and elected con-
siderable interest in its behalf. To-
day the Elko and Eureka county
boundary bill will be placed upon
its final passage, and the friends OF
both sides are confident of success.
This is bill of purely local nature,
but the representatives of the coun-
ties in question have been very
active in its behalf, and an animated
discussion may be expected. To-
morrow the State Prison bill will
probably be voted upon, and the in
terest in the same is we'll known. All
| in all the dull character of the bills
in the past is giving way to that OF a
more interesting nature, and the
work of the latter half of the session
promises to be at once interesting
and important.
The annual meeting of the Belcher
Company has been held. During
the past year bullion to the amount
of nearly three million dollars was
produced. and coupled with the other
receipts the total for the year was q
half million more. The disburse-
| ments in the same time were exactly
equal to the receipts, and how this
came about the Secretary's report
shows. A company which can make
the two ends meet so we'll, must be
a good company indeed, and we con-
graduate the shareholders that such
accurate results have been reached.
The House of Refuge bill came up
yesterday in the House, and was
read and amended in several minor
particulars. The consideration OF
the same prolonged the session much
beyond the usual time, and before
adjournment the bill was reported
back to the House for its further
consideration. The interest IN the
discussion was marked among the
members, and great many specta-
tors were in the lobby and on the
floor. The measure will be further
considered on Tuesday next, and
then a vote on its merits will pro-
badly be made.
A bill has been introduced in the
House by Mr.. H. G. Parker, relative
to amending the act of two years ago
in regard to the incorporation OF
Carson. The principal amendments
relate to Section 10 and refer to the
powers of the Board of Trustees.
The bill has been printed and re-
ferred to the Ormsby county delega-
ton, and their recommendations are
likely to be adopted by the Assem-
bly,. All those iuterested.can doubt
less obtain copy of the bill If de-
sired.
The German Band will be in Vir-
ginia again on Friday and Saturday
evenings of next week, but their in
tentions as to stopping at Carson
are not yet announced. They were
we'll received when here before, and
concert at this Legislature time
would be largely appreciated by the
amusement seekers of Carson. The
members of the Band are now on
their way East, and will shortly sail
from New York for their far distant
home.
Senator Stewart is the man who
introduced the bill to punish wife
beaters. As reward for his interest
the Gold Hill News has it that one
of the most beautiful and accom-
plished ladies' of Virginia City has
written to Senator w. Frank
Stewart. offering him her hand in
marriage. His bill to prevent
cruelty to women in Nevada has won
her affections.
Stephen F. Gage is the Central
Pacific Railroad lobbyist over at the
Capitol, and boasts great influence
among the members. He is said to
have remarkable power in keeping
back committee reports on questions
relating to his charge, while he him.
self takes a trip to San Francisco to
consult with his employees on their
interests.
Yesterday after the reading OF the
Journal in the Senate, an adjourn
ment took place out of respect to
Senator Garrard. A number of the
members took the occasion to visit
the House, and as the Reform School
bill was under discussion, their in
terest was somewhat marked.
There were SO arrests made in Vir-
ginia during the month Just closed.
More than one-half of these were for
being drunk, disorderly and asleep
