The Recent Race at CarsOn-A
Dead Heat.

The race between Bennetts's mare
Flora and Trays mare Weasel, at
Carson, last Saturday, resulted in
dead heat; time, sol. The Silver
boys who had bet their pile on Flora
wore hugely disguised at this result,
but could not help themselves. The
following account of the race is from
the Appeal Of last Saturday
Yesterday the match for $500 q
side, and the horses to 90 with the
race, came off. It was as interesting
and hard fought a contest as has been
seen for many Q day. The nags were
started from the half-mi pole and
got q splendid send-off. Immedi-
ately after the word Bennetts's mare
took the lead, and when they had got
a hundred yards from the starting
point daylight was quite perceptible
between the two; from there home it
was very exciting. Fray's mare, who
halls from Douglas county, com.
menced running very fast, and it
looked as though she would be sure
to win, but the Silver mare still had
a little life left, and they went under
the wire head and head. After con-
siderable consultation by the judges
1t was declared dead heat and all
bets off. The lovers of horses who
delight in a good, rafting, go-for.
all-your-worth race, missed it by not
being at the track.

A False Alarm.

About 0 o'clock last Sunday even
ing some boys informed Constable
Hill that two suspicious characters
had been seen in the vicinity of the
Emigrant mine Office. A number of
citizens who believed they had a
clcw to some incendiaries, fastened
to the locality indicated by different
directions, so as to intercept all
strangers who might be around, but
found none. A visit through the
premises failed to discover any indi-
cations of criminal intent, and the
party theceupon returned to Main
street. In the present state of alarm
of our citizens il would not be very
healthy for any suspicious characters
to be caught lurking around after
dark.

THE ALTA JUSTICE COMPRO.
MISE.
The Terms Satisfact DRY to ALI Con.
cerned-The Justice to be
Worked Through the Alta Shaft
Etc.
rs. F. Paper, 6th.]

rs. F. Paper, 6th.] -.....
The terms between the Alta and
Justice, which are satisfactory to all
concerned, were brought about
through the active instrumentality
of John I. Hill and Archie Borland.
Baldwin and Attorney Lloyd repre-
sented the interests of the Justice
Company, and obtained for it the
most favorable terms. The basis of
the settlement consists of the forma-
ton of new company out of the
extension of the old Lady Washing
ton, 100 feet OF the Alta and a por-
ton of the Justice. OF this new
company the Justice receives large
portion, something like SIX to one,
the smaller portion going to the
Benton Consolidated and Lady
Washington. The right is also Civ
en- to work the Justice mine through
the Alta shaft. This in itself was
worth all that Baldwin battled for,
as it will enable the Justice Com
pany to prosecute developments
which it could not have done other
wise, save through the expenditure
of couple of millions of dollars and
loss of two years. time. The Alta
Company, throughout the negotia-
tons which have just ended, was
represented by Mr.. Derby, and it is
no small compliment to the gentle
man to say that never were the in
terests of q company more closely
guarded or its rights better main
tanned. Thus, after six months of
legal contention and a loss of hum
dreds of thousands of dollars, if not
millions, to both companies, the
strife has at last ended by compro-
mise, and the titles to the Alta, Ben
ton Consolidated and Lady Wash-
ingtOn Consolidated have been
cleared.

II. II. Chaffin, of this city, died
suddenly, about quarter 10 O'Clock
last Sunday morning, of paralysis of
the heart. The deceased was found
on the ground in front of Bennetts's
livery stable, his head between the
footbosrd and one Of the hind wheels
OF the bus. The Brainard house
fire had just been got under control
at the time, and as there were sparks
flying about in all dire ctions, Albert
Candy, the bus driver, was going
to the stable to see that it did not
catch fire. As the fire made it al
most as light as day, Candy saw Mr..
Chaffin as soon as he got near him,
and pulled him in the stable and be.

A Dangerous Shaft.

There is shaft at the north side
of the Justice dump that should be
filed at once. 1t is close by the
road, and careless or unskilled dri-
vers are very apt to tumble into it at
all times, but especially on dark
nights. The cost of filing it up
would not exceed So, and the JUS
tice company or the Storey county
authorities should have it done at
once.

Dlsgraceful Conduct.

The conduct of the police officers
at the Lower Gold Hill polls, last
Friday, is condemned in strong terms.
These two officers stood near the
polls, and pulled and dragged and
even bullied people to have them
vote their way, and thus induced
breaches of the very peace which
they are paid to conserve. They
should be Investigated at once.

WAS 1T DUE TO INCENDIAR-
ISM
An Unoccupied Lodging House
Destroyed by Fire-A Narrow

Escape.
About half-psst O'Clock last SUM-
day morning the Trench mill whis.
tie sounded an alarm. Soon the
whole town was astir, and the cry of
" fire ! F" was heard from all quar-.
tiers. A lurid glare in the sky left
none Of our residents in doubt as to
the location Of the fire. 1t was at
the southwest corner Of Fourth and
Gay. The lodging house owned by
Mrs. Brainard was enveloped in
flames, and the sparks flying in
every direction threatened the whole
residence portion OF the town with
destruction. Soon, however, the
hose company reached the scene,
water was turned on, and the thick
clouds Of black smoke that assembled
heavenward soon after betokened
that the destroying element was un.
der control. But the house was to-
tally destroyed. Damage, about
$1,000; insurance, $500.
Mrs. Brainard, the owner Of the
house, is q widow lady with two
children. She left Silver for Bodie,
last Wednesday, to look about, IN
tending to have her house moved
out there, if the outlook pleased her.
She is not in very affiuent circum-
stances, and the destruction of her
house and furniture will be serious
loss to her.
How the house was set on fire can
not be explained on any other hypo-
thesis than that Of incendiarism, as
it was unoccupied at the time. Mrs.
Holmes, a lady who resides in the
adjoining house, says that about
quarter of an hour before the fire
she heard a subdued humping
noise, and called her husbands at.
tention to 1t. They were in bed, but,
although they thought it strange
that anybody should be around the
house at that time of night, did not
get up to see who it was. The next
thing they heard was the alarm
given by the Trench whistle. Mrs.
Holmes says, however, that she is
10th to believe that there is anybody
in town who would deliberately set
house on fire, and ascribes the
burning of the Brainard house to an
accident.
The prompt arrival of the hose
company doubtless saved the town
from destruction, as the Brainard
house was only five or six feet away
from the Holmes house, which
stands close to the two lodging
houses connected with the Silver
House. All these buildings are OF
wood and filled with bedding and
other inflammable material, and il
they had once caught fire the VIII ole
lower half of the town would un.
doubleday have been destroyed.

ANNIVERSARY.

FIRST ANNIVERSARY OF MIR. WANAMAkERs
GRAND DEPoT-wAs IT SUCCESSFUL THIS
YEAR?-Is IT TO BE CONTINUED ?-ETC.
To the public generally and the residents
of Philadelphia particularly: the twelfth
of March marks the first anniversary of
the opening of the dry goods sections of
the Grand Depot.
1t seems a fitting time to present our
best respects to all of those who have
helped in the new undertaking.
Many persons have considered the enter
prise an experiment, and many more eX-
press and manifest Il warm interest in
building up in Philadelphia an establish
ment the like of which New York has had
for long time. Therefore it seems proper
to say that the business done at the Grand
Depot during the year just closed fully
confirms our expectations, and settles to
the complete satisfaction of the writer all
doubts of its success. The facts prove
beyond question, that never before in one
year were so many goods retailed in Phila-
delphia by one house. This, in the face of
LHe llLtS. diiu Will dn lcllSCt, uIltI iCi
and hurried organization, encourages us to
believe that, with the experience now had,
the coming year will find us doing far bet
ter service for our customers than was
possible in the past; and this, we are sure,
will add to the successful running of an
establishment that we never believed Phila-
delphia too small to have.
Our great faith in the future of Phila-
delphia made it very easy to make our plans
on large scale, and there is, so far, no
reason yet, nor do we expect there will be,
to be disappointed.
We labor to increase the Importance of
the city, to add to its empoyments, and
increase the convenences Of shopping to
the SIT 200 of her residents, and the S00,-
900 more whose homes are in the outlying
towns and villages, to whom Philadelphia
ought to be an attractive resort. The
floating population that made our streets
so lively and our stores SO busy during 1876
may become permanent by due enterprise
and joint action of Philadelphia business
men.
No city in the Union has SO large body
of trained, industrious and worthy work
men and workwomen as Philadelphia, and
their idleness and consequent removal to
other cities can be averted only by enter
prises that will give work and bring people
to the city. These, while beuefiting the
city at large, will also benefit those who
iudiciously invest their capital.
Referring to the Grand Depot, we have,
during the last three months, made many
changes for the better.
At first it was impossible to decide how
