A CHINESE BLK.
Becoming Involved in Debt, He
Tries to Put His Property Out
0flthe Reach OF His Creditors.

OlAtno hSnCM VI hls OEcWstOiSs
One of tho Chinese ranchers Of
Eldorado Canyon has got ahead of
the business men Of Dayton in a way
they despise. Since last spring they
have supplied him on credit with
hay, feed, groceries, provisions, and
so forth, the heather promising to
pay up as soon as he realized on his
crop. In this way he became in.
debtei to james r. Shaw in nearly
800, to "Doc." Sims about $500, to
Mr.. Randall about $500, to the toll
gate keeper about >ieO, and to 9TH
ers in smaller amounts. Since harvest
time the heather has put off paying
on some excuse or other, and some
days ago he sent one Of his teams to
Bodie to be sold. On being ap-
priced Of this, his Dayton creditors,
fearing that he was about to leave
the county, attached his remaining
property. A part Of 1t was sold in
Dayton last Monday. and the re-
mainder will be sold shortly. The
creditors expect to recover about
fifty per cent Of their claims.

About half-past o'clock last SUM-
day afternoon, while in Frank Jo-

shall shot himself in the head with
deringer, the ball entering above the
left eye, and lodging in the brain.
Death was instantaneous. Joseph,
who was an intimate friend and fell
low.countryman of the deceased,
was standing in the door Of his cabin
when he heard the fatal shot, having
just left Marshall, who had taken the
deringer from . shelf for the osten-
sible purpose Of examining it. As
Joseph turned he saw Marshall fall
with his face to the ground, without
uttering sound. He said:
"John, stop fooling!"
Receiving no reply, he walked to.

about to turn him over, when he saw
blood issuing from his friends head.
Realizing the state of affairs, he ran
out Of the cabin toward Mrs. Tav-

As ne reached Mrs. Taveras's door
he tainted.
Mrs. Taveras went to the cabin.
turned the corpse over, then locked
the door. Az soon as Constable Hill
arrived Joseph was taken to Jail.
On Monday morning the Coroner
held an inquest, and the verdict rem
dered was that the deceased had shot
himself by accident. Joseph was
thereupon discharged.
Marshall was a native of the
Azores, and about % years old. For
some years past he has had lease of
the Jones ranch, on the Truckee
Meadows, and has disposed of his
surplus produce in Virginia. About
8 o'clock last Sunday afternoon he
came to this city, and called upon
Mrs. Taveras. He seemed in his
usual spirits, and said he wanted her
husband to write q letter home for
him. Joseph then came in and
Marshall went of with him to his
cabin to await the arrival of Taveras.
In the cabin he lay down on the bed,
one leg resting on the floor. Seeing
the deringer on a shelf he arose. took
the pistol and began handling it..
Joseph then walked to the door, and
shortly after he heard the report of
the pistol.

Mrs. Scott-Siddons at Piper's.

On Friday and Saturday nights
last Mrs. -Siddons delivered
readings at Piper's Opera House.
She showed excellent taste in her
selections, as well as in their rendi-
ton. Her recitation OF scenes from
"Much Ado About Nothing" was
very fine aud induced great long
ing to see her play the part of
Beatrice" in that piece. The sleep
walking scene from macbeth" was
grand, and "Curfsw Must Not Ring
Tonight" worked the audience up to
the highest pitch of admiration.
Her scene from "The School for
Scandal" was also very good; but
"Father Pills Collection" and 1.-THE
Chime Of the Bells" or "The Greed
Of the Bells" as it was put down on
tho bills, have been read better.
While saying so much for her rendi-
ton Of the lines Of others, as much
cannot be said for the delivery of her
own ideas; for when making an ex-
PLANTATION Of q scene she is about to
enact or part she is to read, she de-
livers herself in rather a "sing-
songey' way, which she would DO
we'll to correct.
A large portion of the stage affec-
tation, which through her long ex-
perience she has become imbued
with. might also safely be dispensed
with.
She, however, succeeded for one
hour and a half in entertaining q
large, intelligent and fashionable
audience, most of whom would be
pleased to see her again. The lady
evidently possesses histrionic ability
Of too high an order to permit of
her retirement from the stage.

THE DINNER TO SENATOR
JONES.
An Enjoyable Occasion - Some
Sample TOasts.

o@nAPAO AO0bUSs
Last Saturday afternoon a few
newspaper men of all shades Of po-
litical opinion, who happened to
meet in Virginia City, proposed that,
as a mark of appreciation of his
course in the United States Senate.
Senator J. P. Jones be rendered a
dinner to which none but newspaper
men should be invited. The propo-
sition being heartily Endorsed by all
the members of the profession who
could be consulted at short notice, .
note was addressed to Senator Jones.
requesting him to name the time and
place. The Senator named Z o'clock
last Sunday evening as the time, and
the French Rotisserie as the place.
Promptly at the appointed time
the following-named gentlemen put
in an appearance at the Rotisserie:
Senator Jones; W. Frank Stewart;
D. E. Mccarthy and E. L. Colnon, of
the Virginia Chronicle; r. M. Dag
gett, Of the Enterprise; r. J. Hin
ton, of the San Francisco Post; T..
b. Stenhouse, correspondent of the
New York Herald; Arthur B. Nc
Even, of the Reno Gazette; ALI.
Doten and w. W. Austin, of the
Gold Hill News; and T. E. Picotte,
Of the TIMES.
The dinner having been disposed
Of, R. M. Daggett, as Chairman of
the gathering, proposed the toast of
the evening, to-wit: "Our Guest!"
which was drank rising, and which
was responded to by Senator Jones in
short speech. Then all formality
was dispensed with, and all present
made up their minds to have good
time. In pursuance of this deter
mination, "The Nicholson Pavement"
was the next toast proposed, and
Mr.. 6tenhouse was called upon for a
response. "Bunko" followed, Colonel
Hinton being compelled to extol the
virtues of that latest swindle, al
though he confessed entire ignorance
of the subject. D. E. Mccarthy
was next called on to reply to 1.-THE
Day We Celebrate" and was obliged
to admit that although it was not
specially celebrated in history, the
18th Of November was very good
average day. Each speaker was COM
PEELED to speak to the point, under
pain Of being reprimanded by the
Censor appointed for the purpose.
About II o'clock the company
parted, after heartily wishing Senator
Jones all possible success in his
efforts to permanently remonetize
silver.

In view Of tho steamship disasters dur
ing the pas, six mouths there has betr
much discussion among those specially
interested in the safety Of the immense
vessels now in common use. 1t seems te
be agreed among merchants, underwriters
and ship builders that the great length o.
these vessels does not add to their strength
or safety, the sole points kept in view
being increase Of freight and passenger
room and high speed. The practice oftak-
ing "a steamer, cutting it in two, and
lengthening il by piecing it out in the mid
die is considered extremely dangerous
There is said to be an inquiry among pau
tical men as to whether the disasters re-
ferred TO will not cause a reaction in faSoi
Of steamships ofan entirely different mode
from any now built. n, ,

DAYS Of festivity would not be days of
enjoymentif individuals were not per-
nitted to. indulge in such amusements and
recreations as plesse them; but notions Of
pleasure are to great e-.tent modified by
the tastes which have been cultivated in
early life. The groeser indulgences, which
afford temporary qualification to rude and
ignorant persons generally, bring pain and
grief quickly ai.er the excess from which
pleasure ives expected, and many who do
not lack intelligence, hope to find what
they term Sport" in kind of pastime
which can only bring them gan by the loss
and defeat Of others.
I'm Louisville, KY, our pations! holiday
was celebrated by horse race, in which
two Of the most celebrated Isuners in the
country were matched for four mile heats
Under the circumstances, the term heats
was most appropriate one, but how could
men, who really admire the noblest O.
quadrupeds, compel them, with the ther.
mometer In the ninetio' ;, to exertthemselve4
in q manner which would probably cos'
them their lives.
The sport was sn inhuman one, which
must be admitted even by those who de-
fend it under more favorable circumstances
The gambling associated with it is of a
debasing character, and the whole affair
would have nothing in it to revive patriotic
memories, unless it be the fact that it was
gambling which got General Arnold into
the trouble from which he hoped to es-
cape BY the reward he would get for be-
traying his country. That such a sport
shsuld be enjoyed in Kentucky does not
show peculisrity Of the people. In any
city Of Europe or America such a race
would afford pleasure to many of its citi-
Zens.
