BEECHER DIMES WITH SOME COL
LEGE FRIENDS

The Sunday Chronicle relat es the following
Incidents of pleasant reunion:
The Alumni of Amherst College gave din
ner yesterday at the Palace Hotel to Rev.
Henry Ward Beecher, an alumnus of the class
of 1885. Seventeen persons sat down to the
table with their distinguished guest The
feast of good things to eat, to which ample
Justice was done during three hours sitting,
was accompanied by a great Glow of soul" if
not 'feast of reason" Among those pres
ent were DR.. Gerry, Judge H. b. Uunder-
hill, Hon. John II. Boalt, A E. Whitaker,
Professor Knowlton OF the Boys High
School, and Revs. Fisk Baker and Ely No
lack of cordially on the part of any of the
clergy present toward Mr. Beecher, on ac-
count of the disrespect with which he has re-
Gently treated 1.-THE hell of our fathers" was
observable.
Mr.. Beecher was in high spirits, notwith-
standing the low esteem in which he appears
to be held by the workingInen, and exhibited
no decided predictions for the bread and
water diet which has been prescribed for him
Some of his "reminiscences of college life at
Amherst were very amusing. At one time,
he said, the faculty decided that the religious
tone OF the institution needed to be raised,
and resolved upon visitation of the students
in their rooms for that purpose. One day,
be saw Professor Burgess, an immensely tall
man, making his way up stairs toward his
(Beecher's) room, and anticipating visit
from him, hurriedly hustled all his chairs but
one, the legs of which had been shortened one
half, into his wood closet. Seated, with
book, on his low chair he babe the Professor
come in, and of course profered him the seat.
Backing up before it, the tall Professor
stopped and began sounding for it, and at
length succeeded in touching bottom and set
tied down, bringing his knees quite up into his
face and presenting altogether very comlcal
aspect. For himself, REFRESHING his risibil-
tiles with an iron nerve, 1r, Beocher said he
stood and moeAly awaited the expected
homily But the Professor, under the Cir
cumstances, proved unequal to it, and after
moments inspection of his knees burst into a
loud laugh, i'll which BeeCher heartily joined
him, and, with the remark that he believed
ne would call again. he struggled to perpen-
dicular and bowed himself out. Others of the
company contributed their full share to the
entertainment, and many kind things were
said of Alma Mater; which was reported to
be III q hourisning condition. Mr.. Beecher
left at an early hour to meet an engagement,
when an "Amherst Club was organized with
. view to occasional reunions. Hon. II. b.
Underhil, of the class of 40, was chosen
President; Hon. John H. Boalt, of the class
of So, Vice President; and A. +. Whitaker,
Of the class OF 90, Secretary.

SWORDS THAT ARE TURNED INTO
PLOWSHARES

A Paris correspondent of the San Fran
cisco Chronicle tells the following incident of
the Great Exposition:
The French papers have had considerable
to say in regard to a peculiar and original
machine in the American section. 1t is a
pillow formed of the swords of officers who
served in the Mexican war or in the late re-
bellion. Two years ago, just before the Ex-
position at Philadelphia took place, the Uni
versal Peace Union had meeting, and on the
occasion of the approaching international fete
they invited the men of war to make true the
biblical saying that a day will come when
with their swords they will make plows and of
their spears hedging bills. A farmer of In
diana named Atkinson Immediately offered
so for the first sword which should be pre-
sented Colonel A. Grensel, of Iowa, who
had made use of his sword during both the
Mexican war and the war of the rebellion,
came and presented it to the President of the
meeting Other swords were sent, among
which was one from the widow of an officer
who wished to do way with weapon which
always reminded her of the death of her hus-
band. 1t is of these swords that the pillow is
made.

THE ELKo GRIsT -MILL.-Our agricultural
friends will be interested in the fact that Elko
is to have a grist-mill. Says Saturday. I'pde-
PENDENT:
Under the supervision of the proprietor,
Mr.. S. Davis, the new improvements at the
Elko mill are rapidly being completed, and
the machinery will be ready for work by the
time the first load of new wheat reaches the
town. The commodious storage room, now
being erected, is twenty by sixty feet. in
length and breadth and is being constructed
with an eye single to strength and oonven-
fence. The motive power of the mill is a
fifteen horse power engine, which Is amply
sufficient to drive all the machinery. The
establishment is supplied with an improved
wheat cleaner, smut mill and all the appli-
ances pertaining to a modern Touring mill.
The grinding will be performed by tirst-class
three and half foot French grit stone, hay
ing the capacity to grind thirty barrels of flour
per day. d. Davis has the reputation of be-
ing one of the best millers on the coast, his
-four invariably ranking as superfne. The
gentleman asserts that the excellence of his
-four is largely attributable to method which
he adopts in dressing the mill stones, and
from explanations which he made to us about
the dressing process, we are satisfied that his
theory Is correct

THE STOREY COUNTY REPUBLICAN
PRIMARIES.

The primary elections of the Republicans of
Storey are appointed for the 18th inst Yes
terday the Central Committee met again and
apportioned the delegates to the State Conven-
ton among the various wards. We find the
following report of the apportionment in the
Gold Hill Ne,rs of last evening:
Virginia-First Ward, 6; Second Ward, 6;
Third Ward, z; Fourth Ward, 5.
Gold Hin-First Ward, z; Second Ward,
American Flat, l, Flowery l. Total 81.
From some gentlemen who came down
from Virginia City yesterday we learn that
the Committee agreed on adopting the Dag
gett plan at the primaries with relation to the
choice of Storey County candidate for Gov
ernor. Also we understand that there was
some disagreement as to the effect of the re-
suit of the choice indicated at the primaries.
DagGett contende6 that even if he were beaten
by this plan in Storey, nevertheless he was at
liberty to be a candidate for the nomination
and to secure it by outside aid, if such re-
suit were possible. Batterman and Tyrrell
dissented from this. They held that the
"plan" in Storey would settle the question of
the candidacy by taking two of the three con-
testants out of the field and leaving one of the
number not only in possession OF the thirty
seven Storey county votes in the State Con-
vention, but place him in the light of the
only candidate for Governor presented by the
Republicans of that county. The question
WAS finally settled by the Committee by de
cision in conformity with the views Of Batter
man and Tyrrell. So it is agreed on that if
any one of the three carries off the prize he
shall no longer have a competitor in either of
the other two

BRADLERLAN
AN SCULLDUGGERY |
NYE.

The Democracy OF Nye County, engineered,
ESQ the Sentinel says, by son of Secretary
Garrard, find themselves in the hands of the
Bradlerlan Philistines. The Belmont Courier,
reporting the action of the County Committee,
informs us as followa:
The meeting was called to order by J. L.
Obendorf; NJ. r. Delano, acting Secretary.
Messrs. ObendOrf and Delano being the only
original members present, formed themselves
into committee to examine proxies, etc. !,
and after due deliberation reported that the
following named persons be entitled to cast a
vote at this meeting of the Nye County Cen
trail Committee tO-wit:
w. V. Price, by w. c. Love, proxy.
A. r. Lazard by J. D. Page, proxy.
J, N Russell, by II. T. Creswell, proxy.

N. ]. Devine, by w Garrard, proxy.
T. j. Bell, by John Kennedy, proxy.
M. r. Delano.
John L. Obendorf
Frank Owen (not PRESENT.,
1t appearing to the satisfaction OF the
meeting that Frank Owen had removed from
the State, on motion it was carried that W.
H. Morgan be elected to till the term SO made
vacant.
''There we have it," says the Sentinel,
"seven proxies to two original members.
After fixing the date for the County Conven-
ton and apportioning the delegates therein,
the following additional business was trans
acted :"
The next order of business being the cleo
ton of seven delegates to the Democratic
State Convention, to be held at Carson City,
Nevada, on the the twenty third day of Sep
TENDER next, the following named persons
were elected by reclamation j. L. Obendorf,
J. d. Page, H. II. Robinson, W. Garrard, R.
L. Thomas, II. T. Cresswell and George
Ernst
Commenting upon this action, the Sentinel
says:
These are the gentlemen who are to repre-
sent the Nye County Democracy either in
person or by proxy, in the Democratic State
Convention. That they were appointed
for their known bias with reference to impor-
tant questions to come before the Convention
for consideration does not admit of a doubt
That the action of the Committee was a gross
usurpation of power is equally true. We
care nothing about the attitude of the Nye
delegation in the State Convention. 1t is the
principle involved against which we inveigh.
The fair way Is the right way in every case.
In Eureka County the Central Committee is
almost unanimously anti-third term. If its
members had been unfair enough to smother
an expression of the people solid delegation,
thirteen in all, in favor of Mr.. Hagerman,
could easily have been sent from this county.
But they had no disposition to resort to such
questionable means. The action of the Nye
County Committee demonstrates conclusively
that the thirdterm ring has mortal fear of
the people. And it is by such means that
weak old man is sought to be forced on the
Democratic party of Nevada for third term
in the Exec utive chair
And so, it seems. the Great Unwashed are
not without their vexatlons and troubles.
The course of truth and virtue and political
oveliness never did run smooth-except in
)rmsby County, within the Republican
ranks

THE ENDOWMENT BONANZA.

We make the following extract from a letter
from Mr.. G. S. Mott, who writes under date
of Marietta, August 81.
Shipments this week from the Endowment
are seven bars valued at S0,O55 %. Another
level has been opened, striking the same sui
pheret ores The different levels and drifts
of the mine are yielding the usual
quantity of high grade ore. We are exceed
ingly gratitied by the prospect of the building
of the railroad to Mason's Valley, as it will
materially assist in developing the resources
of this country. Cheap transportation will
open up large mines of low grade ores. We
are only twenty miles from the foot of Walker
Lake, and the freight trade for Bellyille,
CandeIaria, Columbus and different camps
south of here would all pass through our
camp.

THE TULLIS MURDERER.

Ned MCGOWAN got the title of "The
Ubiquitous" from having been reported in SO
many different places at the same time.
Tom Lawton, the murderer OF Tullis, seems
| to be quire as ubiquitous as MCGOWAN, him
self. Of the latest sensation concerning him,
| the Tuscarora Times ReUie1o says:
One day during the latter part of last week,
Mr.. j. A. Blossom of Battle Mountain, while
out hunting stock, came across a man Ill the
willows on the bank of the river short dis
lance from town. The person being astranger,
his somewhat peculiar actions, and the fact of
his being met in such an isolated place, caused
Mr.. Blossom to observe him rather lntently,
upon which the man asked him somewhat
sharply what he wanted. Mr.. Blossom told
him that ne wanted nothing, and road away.
Upon returning to Battle Mountain, happen
ing to read in the Times RepieU the description
of
TOM LAYTON,
The murder of Tullis, the Sacramento ranch
man, it instantly occurred to Mr. 3. that the
man whom he met in the willows correspond
ed in every particular with the published de-
scription of the above named fugitive. Relat-
ing the circumstances to Dave st. John, that
gentleman Immediately started upon the track
of the mysterious person whom he traced to
the camp of Barondo, a Spaniard and stock
man on the Battle Mountain road, about SIX
teen miles from this place He ascertained
that the stranger came there afoot, had stated
that he wanted TO purchase horse, that he
had procured an animal, saddled and bridled,
for which he
TRADED A GOLD WATCH,
Stating that he had 40 money, but exhibited
IL l.
said he wanted work, and Barondo gave him
a note TO Serapa, the milkman in lndepend
ence Valley, a few miles below town, whom
he thought would probably give him employ
ment. The stranger arrived at the milk
ranch Saturday evening, but made no appi-
cation for work. He stopped last night at
Wommuck camp, few hundred yards from
Serapa's house. Notwithstanding his state
ment to Barondo that he had no money, he
exhibited to the boys at Wommuck's three
$40 pieces. He stated that he was an emf
grant
LATELY FROM THE EAST,
And that he had recently come from Reno.
He left Wommucks Sunday morning, stating
that he intended to strike the railroad at Elko
or Carlin. He came into town, but only re-
manned here few moments when he struck
out, it is not known in what direction, and
NOTHING HAS BEEN HEARD FROM HIM SINCE.
Mr.. St John was securing the country yes
terday in the vicinity of Taylor's canyon, and
will start out again to-day, accompanied,
probably, by Deputy Sheriff Weaver. We
were in possession of the above related facts
day before yesterday, but at the request of
officer Weaver suppressed their publication
until this morning All who have seen the
man agree that he corresponds with the pub
lished description of LAYTON. If not the
Sacramento murderer, his actions indicate |
that he is criminal Of some kind, and prob
ably fugitive from justice His arrest |
should be effected if within the bounds of
possibility He will probably try and make |
his way through to Idaho or Montana.
