Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1878-06-18
PERSONAL AND IMPERSONAL.


Hon. E. B. Washburne, member of Con-
gress from Illinois as long as he wanted to
represent his district, and Minister to France
under President Grant, went up to Virginia
City on Sunday last. Good stuff in Wash
burne, as he demonstrated in the trying
period of the seige of Paris during the Franco
Prussian war If he will only conclude to
make Carson a visit, we will insure him a real
| hearty welcome from at least few old friends
| who knew him back in the lead mines of
| Northern Illinois.
The Washburne party passed through to
Reno last night.
Among the personal items we note the de-
parture of W. M, Lynch, on last Sunday
night, for Washington City, D. c., and J. A.
Burlingame, for San Jose, and Thomas Hig-
gins, for San Francisco last night By Sunday
mornings up train came Capt. w. J. Cowen
and John Bradley, neither requiring an in
PRODUCTION to the readers of the MORNING AP-
PEAL, and both from San Francisco.
There has been comfortable change in
the weather during the past forty eight hours.
The days are still warm enough, with breeze
now and then to temper the atmosphere to
the shorn head, and the nights are deliciously
cool, just the kind for good sleeping and
pleasant dreaming of the number of shares of
Ophir you got at bedrock prices.
Somebody's Newfoundland dog, fine look

empty cup was found by his side we infer that
it was "by cold pizen he died"
We announce with pleasure that the Whit
ney Quartette will give concert in the Car
son Theater on next Saturday evening, This
will be an opportunity rarely offered our peo-
pie to hear such choice vocal music as will be |
given on the approaching occasion The |
Quartette consists of Miss Clark and Mrs |
Billings, Fessenden and Whitney, probably |
four of the finest vocalists in America. The |
managers have adopted the sensible policy of |
making no extra charge for reserved seats, |
and the Carson Theater will be filled at the |
concert, as it should be-

private picnic over at the Bowers Mansion,
met with an accident which was exciting
enough but not serious in results While
driving along, having his wife and one child
in the buggy, one of his lines dropped over
the dashboard, and Mr. P stepped out on
the pole, when the horses made sudden turn,
throwing the driver to the ground between
the horses feet. The team then started on
wild run, bringing up near the old Musgrove
mill, half mile from the point where Mr.. P.
was thrown out. Mrs. Platt and child were
found uninjured, bnt doubtless considerably
frightened. Mr.. Platt also escaped without
injury. In fact the damage may be summed
up in one broken buggy pole.
