TELEGRAPHIC SUMMARY.

Still the plague of yellow fever continues
to devastate the South and horrify all chris
tendon. There may be two months of this
dire visitation yet to come. Unless it ex-
hausts itself for want of victims it will con-
tnue its ravages until the frosts of Autumn.
The disease is spreading in I'll directions
From almost every place in the North contri-
buttons of money are pouring into the hands
of relief committees
President Hayes and his family have been
holding matinee i'll Chicago Rutherford
goes to Minneapolis as one of the chief attrac-
lions of the great cattle fair there.
Secretary Schurz declines to grant rehear-
ing of his decision upon the liability of rail
road lands to presumption. There being a
great rush of applicants for that character of
lands i'll consequence of his decision, we don't
see why the railroad companies should not
rest pretty well content under it. 1t is GER
tainly causing their lands to find market
Senator Blaine made a very handsome
speech in Minneapolis. 1t was admirably
worded, as his speeches always are, and brim
full of bright ideas. These, his closing words
are replete with truth and felicitous senti-
ment:
Gradually the government of the Republic
is passing under the control of the farmers of
the Mississippi valley. Indeed, it is practi-
cally there to-day. The swelling and Oh
rushing tide of population is toward the broad
plains and rich acres that lie between the two
mountain ranges of the continent. Many of
you to-day mingle with your love for Mime
sofa your earlier affection for the old home
and the old States, far to the East, where an
honored ancestry lie buried, and where the
tenderest memories cluster around the famil-
lar scenes of days long past. 1t is this kin
ship of blood, these ties of relationship that
makes us indeed one people, uniting the East
and West the North and South in the indis-
soluble bonds of a common, and, [ trust, al
ways benefcent Government.
From London we have the particulars of
most terrible accident. An excursion steamer
"The Princess Alice, with 700 or 800 passen-
gers on board largely women and children,
was run into by the screw steamer Bewell
Castle" and sunk off Barking More than FIVE
hundred persons were instantly drowned. 1t
is said by survivors that the Bewell Castle
made no attempt to succor the drowning but
proceeded straight on toward her destination
The scene at the wharf where the Princess
Alice was expected to land presented a most
heart rending sight being crowded with the
friends of the i'll fated passengers.

CONCERNING TOM LAWTON.

With regard to the murderer whose name
Of Tuesday says:
The report yesterday that Tom Lawton,
murderer of A. d. Tullis, had been shot and
killed by officers at Firebaugh's Ferry, while
endeavoring to effect his capture near that
place Sunday night, caused decided sensa-
sation in the city. While there was general
feeling of qualification over the news, very
many persons hesiJated to consider it strictly
reliable, there having been 80 many false re-
ports spread previously concerning the where
abouts and movements of the murderer.
Sheriff Drew telegraphed during the after
noon to Sheriff A. j. Meany, of MERGED, for
further information, and received the follow
ing: "LawtOn reported killed. Rumor
only. do not credit it, The original dis
patch concerning the killing came from H. A
Bose. Sheriff Drew responded to it with
the following Photograph particulars. How
do you know it was LawtonF To this no
answer had been received up to a late hour
last evening.
In response to a recent dispatch from
Charles 7. Jones, for the Sherif7s office, ask
ing for information "a to Lawton's past career
in the East, Grove l.. johnson, of this city,
who is at present in Syracuse, New York,
where LaWtOn formerly resided ana figured IN
crime, wrote a reply under date of August
10Th, in which he says that on the Sunday
previous he had visited the police station and
read to the officers the description of Lawton
as published in the Record Union of August
18th. One OF the officers was cousin of
Lawton, and all knew him, and they said the
published description was very accurate.
They could not add anything to make it more
minute, not having photograph or descrip-
ton On file at their otfice and having been
some years since he had left there. He had
been convicted there some years ago and sent
to the Auburn State Prison and served out
his time. The only point in the description
about which they differed was as to the deep
set eyes. Some Of the officers thought his
eyes were deep set and others that they we're
not, and they all disagreed as to the meaning
Of the term. They all united in characteriz-
ing him a sharp, shrewd, courageous, des-
perate and reticent man. So shrewd was he
there, that although he had been arrested
many times and was clearly guilty, yet he es-
capped conviction except the one time They
say there is little hope of now catching him
if he has had start, and warn persons who
seek to capture him to be careful of their
lives if they run across him, as he is dan
gerous man to arrest.

SUDDEN DEATH. Says the Phoebe Record
of August 81
Thomas Belden, an old resident of Nevada,
died on Sunday, the 18th inst. , near st.
Thomas, on the Muddy. Mr.. Jennings and
some of the other residents of st. Thomas,
hearing that he was sick started with wagon
containing medicines, etc., for Belden's camp
and found him just returning from herding
some cattle. He complained of having had a
violent pain in the breast, but said that it had
about gone away and that he was feeling all
right, SO they all camped and slept during the
night, but when they awoke in the morning
Belden was dead. He was &c years old,
native of Massachusetts, and had with his
family, when young, emigrated to Michigan.
He was well liked by all the inhabitants
around st. Thomas and the Muddy.

A MIssoURIAN ON THE WAR-PATH. The
Reno Record of Tuesday relates the following;
Two men happened in to the corner lunch
stand Saturday evening, and after ordering
something to eat, began an excited CONVEX
station on the subject of Missourians. One of
them, whose mind is evidently embittered by
wrongs inflicted by some son of the fever and
ague State, made the remark that the Mis-
Sourians were men whose maternal ancestors
wore not remarkable for purity. This remark
was overheard by gentleman about feet in
hight, who claims for his birth place that des-
pissed commonwealth, and he proceeded to
wipe the floor with the body of the speaker.
For II few moments the air was full of limbs
and profanity, and not until the words were
taken back did the "clodhopper" discontinue
his punishment, The subject was dropped
and good feeling was inaugurated in flowing
bowl of gin.

CHANCE FOR PRIZE FIGHT, In the
Eureka Sentinel of Tuesday last we have the
following hints of possible prize fight;
1t was talked on the streets Sunday evening
that a man by thename of Monahan from Tus-
carora, had been exercising his lungs con
Siderably in trying to get up fight for money
with any Englishman or COrnshrnan on the
Base Range Matt Sleeves said that but for
his little pre-arranged affair on next Sunday
he would give MIR. Monahan a rattle, al
though tho latter is at least IS pounds the
heaviest Bing Williams was up at Ruby
Hill, and as soon as he returned Immediately
proceeded to deposit some coin in handy
place, and started out for the man who ban
tered, but as yet has not succeeded in finding
him. We are authorized to say for Mr.. VIII
hams that he will meet Mr.. Monahan under
any rules of a fight for 81 900 a side at any
time. Williams don't propose to rough and
tumble with man of 80 or 100 pounds more
weight, but will give him fair stand-up
battle.

KILLED IN HER TRAVELS. Says the Reno
Record of Tuesday evening:
Mark Hansen was up from Empire few
days ago in order to meet and escort to Empire
two young girls by the name of Jensen, who
were expected from the East at that time.
AS the girls did not arrive Mr.. Hansen re-
turned home. This morning M. T. Coates, of
the Pollard House, received letter from Mr..
Hansen stating that one of the girls was killed
in the great railroad collision at Steubenville,
Ohio, few days before. The survivor, Miss
Amelia Jensen is expected at any time, and
Mr.. Coates is requested to take the poor girl
to his house and send her to her relatives at
Empire.

WHOLESALE KILLING OF BLACKBIRDs. -

WHOLESALE KILLING OF BLACKBIRDs.-
Says the Reno Journals:
Dan Newman of Sierra Valley killed 200
blackbirds by emptying only two barrels from
a shotgun into flock of them the other day.
The Nevada Transcript says this may appear
a rather improbable story, but it is vouched
for by half dozen or so reliable witnesses,
among them being Frank Aumer of Nevada
City, who was there and will take his oath on
the truth of the assertion. The birds were
huddled together in grain field where
threshing machine had shortly before been in
operation, when Newman fred at them, and
each shot seemed to have brought down
separate victim.
