deed. We once more thanked an everything
Providence. that we were not compelled to at
tend the prevailing picnic.
Speaking of picnics, the Caledonians turned
out in surprising force yesterday. They came
into port occupying no less than 80 cars.
There was q band of music of the brassy
sort; there was a harper with his harp IN a
green baize bag; there was a piper of the
Scotch type with bare Highland legs, kilt
or fllibeg, a tartan, bonnet, and for aught
we know great big claymore slowed away
among his equipments on the train; and
there were more SWANS and sweethearts,
f1irts and gay gallants, stout lads and pretty
lasses than a stay home man sees in a
month of Sundays 1t was vast accumu-
ation of healthful and pleasure seeking hu
manity, and the MORNING APPEAL hopes they
all had quite as delightful a time they
fondly anticipated.
John johnson I've suspect his native name
is Hans Hansen), our respected Scandinavian
friend of the tailor's bench, pulled up stakes
yesterday and started his bark for the old
home across tie seas Ten years ago John
left the paternal roof which stands some
eighty miles from Christiana in the Kingdom
of Norway. He goes home to see the old
people, and, possibly to stay. May the good
genius who takes care of Norwegian tailors
KAYE a kindly care for John as he plows the
raging main.
Jack Foulke of Verdi like to have lost the
number of his mess yesterday. He was so
standing that when train which was moving
at or through or out of an open switch in some
irregular or eccentric manner at Reno it came
within an ace of running right over him. OF
course if he had got III the way of the wheels
it would have been Good bye Jack Foulke!
As it was, he hung on the standing rigging of
the hind steps like grim debt to bankrupt
stock gambler So We learn from Conductor
Hobart.
Somebody who was standing on theplatform
when the picnic train came in, noting the
fact that there were SO cars said that 50 was
analogous or something else-agous of Scot
fish Rite Right there we killed him. The
funeral will take place when we have more
time.
Among the personal attractions of the in.
coming lightning train were Uncle Bill Leete
and Frank Bell. Bob Logan came in from
the Morgan mill when the picnickers arrived
Gen. Batterman and Jasper BabcOck went to
the picnic and Hon. William Woodburn went
UP to Virginia Jones of Empire was in the
city but he came overland. A good many
Carsonites went over to Dalls's on the excur-
sion train. ~ |
Yesterday the box-sheet was opened for
the accommodation of the Beecher- going |
public The seats were filing up with good |
deal of activity when last We looked over Jim
Marshalrs shoulder. Plymouth Church is
evidently trump card in the far west.
On Friday night, under the auspices of
some of our most enterprising and persua-
sive ladies a surprise party was engineered,
the objective point being the residence of
Hon. Charley Bicknell. The attacking party
were massed in solid column under the con-
venient shadow of St. Peters Church, their
right wing resting on the Sunday School
room, the sappers and miners being provided
WIFI ID strong OuCHC Oh CHlHeSe ldnlerLS. Inc
surprise was complete. The only force re-
manning in the works was Charley and his
brother supported by very small detail of
light infantry. These all surrendered at DIS
cretion. ~ The prisoners of war were put on
their parole and treated with great leniency
When we visited the scene of the encounter,
about 10 o'clock, beseigers and beseiged were
making merry in the garden (Which was
beautifully illuminated by Chinese lanterns),
and in the house where some very delightful
music tempted the feet of the guests to par
ticipate in the rather warmish pleasures of
the dance. On abundant tables in the spa
cious grounds were many generous heaps of
rich cake and among bowery shades matrons
and spinsters, blushing brides and grizzled
bachelors, stout husbands and perspiring !
sweethearts cooled their festive stomachs with
the most delicious ice cream There never
was so handsome summer evening party in
Carson before. This is an example worth
garden party; and we hope to ,
see our friends and neighbors surprising
one another oftener in the same pleasant way.
This party was given in honor of our very
welcome visitor, Rev. Geo. Bicknell, of Port
land, Maine, Charley's brother
