WATER CTS TERMS.

The Town Council have begun the CON-
mendable work of supplying the streets with
cisterns to be used as reservoirs for water in
case of fire. Two fire engines, said to be of
good pattern, and capable, with, proper ap-
pliances, of rendering efficient service, have,
for years, been useless property to the town,
simply because they are not adapted to for
cling water from deep wells, the only resource
for water at command of the 6remen. 1t
is proposed to obviate this defect in the fire
department. and in doing so, we think the
Council will be commended by the citizens
generally for their course in adopting the
most improved method of constructing the
csterns. One, on Main street, near the
post-ofice, is now about completed. Its Ca
pacity is 5000 gallons. 1t is virtually a
huge jug sunk into the ground. 1t is built
with brick, laid in waterproof cement, and is
intended to be water tight. The design is
to supply it with water by pipes connecting
with the guttering of adjacent houses, and
from the quantity already emptied into it by
the partial rains that have fallen since the
introduction of the conduts no fear need be
entertained of difficulty in securing an am
pie supply of water.
The cost of the cistern now nearly compile
ted will be about 5000. 1t is the intention Of
the Council to continue the construction Of
them as rapidly as the finances of the town
treasury will permit.

STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.

On last Monday evening, Mr.. W. w. Fore
acre, who is connected with the Airline
Railroad, started from Dallas to Gastonia in
buggy, accompanied by Mr.. Rufus Dobson.
Soon after starting, storm came up, accom-
panied by thunder and lightning. A bolt
struck in close proximity to the buggy, COM
pletely stunning them and causing them to
fall from the vehicle to the ground. They
remained in this condition several minutes
their horse in the meantime having taken
fright and run away-when Mr.. Dobson be-
came conscious, and looked after the welfare
of his companion, who was seriously hurt,
and is yet confined to his bed. Mr.. Fore.
acre was in Yorkville on the day Of the oc-
currence, and went from here to Dallas on
the afternoon train.

MORE RAIN.
This section was visited with good rains on
Sunday and Monday nights Though the re-
cent rains came rather late for early corn,
they will prove highly beneficial to the grow
ing crops. In some sections of this coun.
particularly the portion bordering on
Mecklenburg-the drouth has prevailed to
such an extent as to be compared by the
older persons to the famous dry summer of
1845. From what we can learn, the rain of
Monday night was general throughout the

THE talk in Leadville, Col, is about a
v~agabond of a miner, Bassick, who tramped
into town without a cent in his pocket, and
jumped into an income of $4,000 a day.
He began 10 dig in Tindall Hill, and three
feet below the surface struck a rotten,
chalky substance that formed the entire
eminence. Everybody laughed at the beg
gar and derisively called his find ''Bassick's
Whitewash Nine" But Bassick found the
stuff rich in carbonate of lead carrying sill
yer, and, digging down, found bouldcrs
and pebbles HAT were coated with silver
chloride. From the surface dow two hun
dred feet the mine has paid richer than
any other in the country, yielding, thus
far, S64, 900 a month.

GLASGOW, October 2.
The City Of Glasgow Bank closed its
doors to-day. Its liabilities are stated
to be $50, 000, 900. The liabilities OF the
shareholders is unlimited. One hundred
pound shares of the bank were selling yes
terday at over 200, and within the week at
237. The bank was established in 1889,
and had from fifty to sixty branches. This
is the heaviest bank failure in Scotland
since 1851, when this concern also sus-
pended. Other Scotch banks were asked
for assistance, but after examining the
books, they refused to do more than redeem
the note circulation.
LONDON, October 2.
The failure Of the City of Glasgow Bank
is believed to have been in consequence of
large advances on American securities,
grain and real values, of which they are
largely deprecated.

member OF the defunct Put n Call
firm of Mcdonnell & Co. The accused
furnished 81, goo bail on each charge.
When the case was called in the police
court this morning, the prosecuting attor-
ney stated in the absence of G. Melon
nell, a witness to all the transactions on
which complaints we're founded, and for
whom two warrants have been issued for
forgery, il is necessary for the prosecution
to postpone the case of M. Mcdonnell,
which was accordingly continued until
Monday, to enable the prosecution to OBJ
tain the attendance of the missing member
of the firm.
A. p. Church was placed on trial in the
Fourth District Cour to-day for the muir
der of James Baxter, the night clerk Of the
Coso lodging-house last May. During the
trial the prisoner, IN what seemed a fit Of
frenzy, made a dash for liberty, but was
caught by the officers in attendance. Con-
siderable excitement prevailed in the
courtroom for a few moments. Counsel
for the defense pleaded insanity. which
seemed justified by the glossy eyes and
wild actions of the prisoner.
An assessment of fifty cents per share
has been levied by the Silver Hill, delin-
qucnt November 1st. The Andes Mining
Company has levied an assessment of

TyvoRTUNATE ADMISSION,

..Nd one ever hears Of men going arouno
IA corrhnt Republicans" So says the
A-nSeyysiss. II this assertion is true says
tbx EooaighA, 1t is because all the corrup-
t;op;sss are in the Republican party, use the
machinery Of that party and by Haunting
tbe bloody shirt, and by the application of
sbs Marty whip, and by urging party fealty,
keep Republicans in the traces without re-
course TO bribery. One is not supposed to
purcbase favors of his own household. 1t
90 happens that all the m%onopolies, all the
rich corporations act with the Republican
party, while the managers Of the Demo-
cratic party in this State have no money
with which to bride and corrupt, even II
thew desired to do SO. The Enterprise IN
xiviag utterance to this sentence made "a
vsrv unfortunate admission. 1t proves too
much. 1t proves that Democrats are not
in the corruption business, or that they
have no corruption funds. For no one
not even the Enterprise, will deny there
are men in the Republican party who
would accept brides. Another unfortunate
feature Of the article, in which our quota
tion appears, is the knowledge unwittingly
displayed by the Enterprise about a GER
tain kind Of business, a certain class OF
women and a certain kind Of houses.
But s'out Of the abundance Of the heart
che mouth spesketh." A person does not
speak . language Of which he knows moth
ing. That which the Enterprise does not
know about political bribery and corrup-
ton, would require a smarter nan than
now lives in Virginia to teach. Did not
Mr.. Sharon and All Kie have their head
quarters in the Enterprise building four
years ago? Were not the duties Of the dis
bursting agent then so onerous that Mr..
Sharon had to import an experienced man
from San Francisco to take charge Of the
corruption fund? Are not the corrupt
transactions Of Mr.. Sharon and his hench-
men four years ago still fresh in the minds
Of our citizens? Yet the Enterprise would
have the people believe that it is not, and
has mot been for four years the organ OF
political corruptionists.

THAT BLUFF A FAILUBE.-Elko hide
pendent: Directly following the nomina-
tion Of Mr.. Deal by the Democratic Con-
v~ention, the Enterprise attempted to bluff
that gentleman by i~nsinuating that in a
passage ct arms with the redoubtable Dag
gett, the former would be q mere tallow
dip, compared with the great bonanza lum-
mary, hoping. probably, by an early exhi-
bition Of egotistical fustian, to frighten his
unassuming opponent from the field; but
they appear to have calculated without
their host, for instead of soaring, as was
expected, he quietly challenges the Repub-
lican Colossus to accompany him in an
active canvass Of the State, whereupon Mr..
Daggett declines by a weak disclaimer.
Mr.. Daggett does not propose to make any
speeches in Eastern Nevada. Some awk-
ward questions, which it would be difficult
for him to answer satisfactorily, would GER
ta;nly be p~ropounded, and he has no de-
sire TO expose himself to such dangers.

In DILEsMA.-In accordance with the
verdict Of the Dominion elections, the
resignation Of the Mackenzie government
il 10 be rendered. The leader finds him
self in q dilemma concerning appoint
ments. Four years ago, on the very day
Of his resignation, Sir John Macdonald
made more than six hundred appoint
ihents, an act that the incoming Minister,
Mackenzie, criticised in the most vigorous
sof language. Now that Mackenzie, in turn,
ID stepping down and out, he finds himself
tempted to follow the Macdonald example
and put half q thousand Of his friends in
comfortable positions. Yet the sharply
spoken words Of four years ago rise up in
warning, and he hesitates. The Canadians
are waiting to compare Mr.. M~ackenzie's
practice with his rrcachings.
