wORKINGMEN's MEETING.
Held at Ruby Hill Last Evening

Held at Ruby Hill Last Evening.
The committee appointed by the Work
ingmen's Club of Eureka to meet at Ruby
Hill, met last evening at the City Hall.
The meeting was called to order by j. s.
Greene. Mr.. Orrin Miller was chosen
Temporary Chairman, and Smith Harris
Temporary Secretary. After stating the
object of the meeting, the platform of the
party was read by the Secretary amid much
applause. Mr.. Miller then delivered a
very telling speech, occupying about thirty
minutes, calling attention to the discrimina-
ton of the Central Pacific and other roads;
he also spoke on other subjects Of interest
to the workingmen, which elected
frequent applause. Mr.. Miller is a very
effective speaker, and held his audience
throughout.
Mr.. Harris then made a few pertinent
remarks, and was followed by others. To
a question put by Mr.. Longabaugh, Mr..
Harris set forth the true objects Of the
organization in a very neat speech.
Mr.. Jones being called upon by the
audience, was greeted with unbounded APP
plausc; his remarks were pertinent and to
the point; he had been in San Francisco,
and although he had always been g good
Republican, he took great interest in the
workingmen, and what influence he was
able to command, shonld be used in
the interest Of the Workingmen's party.
In conclusion, he proposed three cheers
for tho party, which were given with a VIM.
The meeting then adjourned to meet
again on Tuesday evening, October I'd, for
the purpose of affecting a permanent or
ganization. The meeting was large and
enthusiastic.

Oriyin OF ti,e Name Truckee.

The Reno correspondent of the San
Francisco Bulletin thus explains how the
Truckee came to bear its name. The
Truckee river has little to thank the white
man for. Before his time its water swarmed
with fish which suffered no devastation
from the red man. Its course was free from
restraint. If the tide was swollen by floods
Of rain or melting SHOWS, it roared the
louder or ran the faster until it was eased.
1t rejoiced in the beauty of nature I'M
marred and grandeur unadorned. But the
sun of civilization arose, and its freedom
was lost. 1t suffered first in its ugly name
which sickened the fish and consigned it to
drudgery. Anything known by such a
homely word as that might be useful, but
1t could not be lovable, and people who
lived on the Ohio and Hudson, whose
syllables fall from the tongue like notes of
a piano, have no time for the T5uckee.
The sentiment which connected the two was
prettier than either of them, as is the case
when love unites a homely couple. A
party of sixteen men, who left Council
Bluffs in 1914 for Oregon, fell in at Battle
Mountain with a faithful Piute of that
mare, who guided them safely to Suffer
fort. He went to Mexico with Fremont
and disappeared. Through gratitude to
this poor Indian his name was given to the
river Of which he frequently told them be-
fore they reached it.

Typo, New, Sept. %.
EDITOR SENTINEL: Let me record what
is understood to be a rough game by the
citizens Of Typo, between two Of her sports.
Mr.. Lynch, the Democratic candidate for
Constable, and Smithie," a n ex-stage
driver Of the Belmont line, started in with
a very emphatic argument this morning at
an early hour, and kept it up until about
noon, when they came to the conclusion
that nothing short Of blows would settle
the affair. A conference was held, and
therein it was agreed to fight for the best
three rounds in five. Their artillery was
removed, and they stripped to the belt for
active operations. Mr.. Lynch made a
brilliant play in his first send-off, and with
one of Yankee Sullivan's sledge-hammer
blows knocked Smithie to his knees, but
the fallen hero reported inside of time and
the battle ragged hot for some minutes,
when Smithie got in one that sent the
politician to grass, and this was followed
by Smithie, who used his hoofs like the
father of all mules. He won the first heat
in good style, while Mr.. Lynch was led off
the field, blanketed, scraped down, his
mouth sponged out with brandy, and he
was declared in shape for the
Second health this round Smithie had
it almost his own way, aud Mr. Lynch was
again declared second best.
Lynch's friends now stepped in, for they
saw he could not win, and declared him
distanced, at the same time taking him off
for repairs. A SUBSCRIBER.

A REPLY.


SEPTEMBER Goth, 1878.
EDITOR SENTINEL: An inquiry appeared
in the S~gSrrSEL's Issue Of the 25th instant,
relative to an article which appeared in
the columns of the Daily Leader Of the
24tlf instant, that John Oddly had walked
fifty miles in nine hours. The wonderful
performance occurred in 1875, at Odd Fell
lows Hall, Philadelphia. The record can
be obtained from the editor of the Phila-
delphia Item. Tom Kean, the celebrated
English trainer, did not measure the track
for the reason that he was not measuring
tracks at that time, and was not there.
The time-keepers were well-known pro-
moters of athletic sports, among the mum
Der being George D~rinkwater, William
Foldon, "Nelly'' Pearson, the ~well-known
quoitist, Jas. Motley and Others.
If Enquirer" wishes to know further
of Mr.. Oddy's record, the writer would re-
fer him to the match which took place at
Fremont Skating Rink, Boston, known as
the Hendrick Pedestrian Congress, and
open to the world, where he oddly was
the successful competitor, out Of thirteen
who undertook the 100-mile handicap,
starting from the scratch, winning the
first prize of $3.50; giving all bit Mccain
a start. For dates, &C., refer to the New
York ''Clippcr" and wilkes Spirit of the
Times"
/ also beat John Ennis and several others
at Dexter Park, Chicago, a 15-mile walk,
August, 1876 beat Henry Schmehl a five
mile walk at the same place and same
month, for 500 a side; beat VIM. Brown
Of New York, for the four-mile champion
ship at Trenton, N. J., January 81, 1878,
for 81, 900. / could produce more proofs,
butfor "Enquirer's" benefit will only refer
him to Kate Lorenzo, Holmes Garden, one
Of her late agents, and Prof. Allen. three
hippodromes, whom l made jump the
track before the walk was two-thirds fin
ished. Now, for s.Enquirer's" benefit, l
will state that / have hackers who will
match me from 5000 to $500. / will give
any of the above hippodromes five miles in
so, or ten miles in 100 for the same money.
Now, Mr.. Enquirer" 1 mean business;
no more newspaper talk goes; put up or
shut up. Yours, etc.,

Champion 50-mile walker Of America.

The Eureka SENTINEL tells what it calls
ga good one on the editor of the Rereile,
to the effect that we, the said editor, loaned
cent, a month interest, to Henry Lyons, q
delegate from White Pine. The SENTINEL
has not got the story correctly the loan
was made to a Storey, not a White Pine
delegate, and considering the complexion
Of that crowd, it would be no wonder
il the jewclry should turn out to be snide.
The pith of the joke is, however, overlooked
by the SENTINEL. 1t consists in the fact
that we had SIS to loan anybody.

The following is a translation from a
German paper. The sentiment is good and
may benefit youthful readers; Marriages
are usually contracted to crafty n of
three desires, viz: love, fortune or position.
The man who marries for love, takes a wife;
who marries for fortune, takes a mistress;
who marries for position takes a lady.
He is loved By his wife; regarded
by his mistress ; tolerated by his
lady. He has a wife for himself;
a mistress for his household a
lady for the world and society. His wife
will take care Of his household; his mistress
of his house; his lady of his appearances.
II he is sick his wife will take care Of him;
his mistress will visit him; his lady will in
quire after his health. He takes a walk
with his Wits; a ride with his mistress;
goes to a party with his lady. His wife will
share his grief; his mistress his money; his
lady his debts. If he dies, his wife will
weep; his mistress lament; and his lady
wear mourning"

We were glad to look at some parchment
last evening. This particular document
done us especial good, as it was proof posi-
tive of the promotion of our fellow-towns-
man, Dave Mannheim. Dave has been
known to all OF our readers as First Lieu
tenant of the National Guards, for some
time, and now he is Paymaster General
with the rank of Colonel, on the staff Of
Governor l.. Il. Bradley. His commission
dates from September 81, 1873. 1t does
an old soldier good to parade before a

noted braves in Eastern Nevada, passed
through Eureka last evening, on his sixth

which gives the bride a chance to lay in
winter grub during leisure moments.

Lot Claiming,

The Richmond boys are inclined to settle
in Eureka. Since the famous shutdown
for repairs, the hands employed therein
when in operation, have turned a hand
toward enhancing the beauties OF u Mob

anywhere in sight of Eureka nowadays, a
man would have to buy somebody ont, for
all the land is claimed and fenced up
