TERRIFIC GALE ON THE NEW
ENGLAND COAST.

PROVIDENCE, r. l. Oct. 13.-The gale
at Newport last night was uncommonly
furious, bringing down trees, fences,
chimneys, etc. At one a. IN. report
was made to Collector Pratt that there
was no light on Br n on's Reef lighrship,
and men were apparently throwing up
signals of distress. 1t proved that the
sea was so rough that the lights could
not be kept burning. and the crew burn
ed fire balls Of cotton at intervals until
the New York boat passed in. The cut
ter went out this morning but found nc
wrecks. The schooner Joseph Fish, from
st. George, Me-, for New York, with
some, struck on Columb reef, near Ston-
ington, 18th and became total loss.

The train was returning to this city
from New Castle junction where wreck
had occurred to a cattle train, when the
engineer suddenly espied the form of a
man lying on the track just ahead of his
engine. Down brakes was whistled, and
the train was ust about stopping, when

who was colored, was no doubt drunk las

It had not have been for the quiokness OF

EDENBURG, Oct. 13.-An incendary
fire started this morning about 8 O'Clock
at this place, in Clarion oil fields, des.
troying over one hundred and fifty build

the most disasterous fire of the lower oil
field, and 1t is doubtful whether Edin.

THE Gas Companies seem greatly ex-
ercised over the report of Edison's discov-
cry of successful electric light, and no
wonder. The new illuminator is said to
be three times as cheap as gas; so, if the
companies propose to compete with it in
price, they will have to reduce their rates
so much that they will not be able to
more than double their money.-Herald.

intelligently and well, the duties re-
quired of him, but Just as he had he.

found it was too confinlng, and a raw

CRIT THORNTON'S LETTER.

We have always had good deal of faith
in the literary future of Crit Thornton How
much OF a lawyer he is or will be we have no
means of Judging; but that he has very
decided turn for letters we have always be-
lieved. AS proving our conclusions to have
been well based, we reproduce the following
exceedingly good-tempered and clever letter
from Crlt's pen:
EUREKA, August 81, 1873
EDITOR LEADER-Sir: Through the con-
troversy now pending between Mr. Wren and
the Sentinel, upon the question of who is or
who is not an attorney for the Central Pacific
Railroad Company, [ have to this day main
tanned silence. This course of conduct on
my part was in some degree influenced by my
opinion that the sub ect did not deserve the
time or space which it has received. Since it
has become matter of public remark and
comment by the press of two States, of which
the Sentinel and San Francisco Stock Report
are samples, intend to tell what l know of
the matter, and let any person who may take
sufficient interest i'll the matter to read this
communication, draw his own conclusion
My business connection with Mr.. Wren
began May is, 1876, and continued up to
this time, space of two years and three
months. My connection with the railroad
company commenced May IA, 1876. Before
and since that time, Mr.. Wren has never
signed a pleading, nor received a dollar from
the company | have had four cases from
the company in the last twenty seven months,
all of them criminal prosecutions of small
Importance, and, grieve to say, correspond
ingly small fees The total amount received
by me from the railroad company in twenty
seven months has been thirteen hundred dol
lars 81 300. This is at the rate of S48 IA
per month"; a sum less than the monthly
wages of my cook. do not mention this by,
any means, with the intent to depreciate or
underValue the said cook, who is an artist of
the first rank in his profession, but to show
that he is much more valuable to me in my
domestic economy than | am to the railroad
company in professional capacity. OF this
sum of thirteen hundred dollars, Mr.. Wren
has never received a cent. 1t has never been
entered on the books of the firm, and no de-
duction has been made from my share of the
firm receipts on account of my conversion of
the whole sum to my own use. This has
been done by Mr.. Wren sAwish and consent
am not as high-souled as he on the question
of monopoly, especially when | possess ali in
terest in a monopoly to the extent of forty
eight dollars and fourteen cents per month
In reply to the comments of the Stock Re
port | have to say: l am always happy to
receive Mr.. Wrens advice on professional
topics. My youth is fault which 1 shall get
over in time. In regard to the "family CON
of which the Stock Report 80
knowingly speaks, beg leave to remark that
there still remains chance to enlist them in
favor of another young gentleman, who may
thereby become as wealthy in the space OF
twenty seven months as your obedient ser
want CRITTENpEN THORNTON.

A WOKINGMENS' UNION.

OF a movement among the Workingmen to
secure to themselves reasonable self -protec-
ton the Eureka Sentinel of Thursday says
large representation of the workingmen
of Eureka congregated at the Courtroom,
corner of Buel and Clark streets, last evening.
At first there was wrong impression abroad,
some thought there was project on foot by
a chosen few to grind political grist, but as
soon as Orrin Miller was placed behind the
Judges desk as temporary Chairman, and
Smith Harris was pronounced Secretary, then
followed a few brief remarks by both of the
officers elect and a general interest i'll the
meeting began to show itself. The Chairman
then read a preamble and resolution which
introduced Constitution and Bylaws of
this import. That it was deemed advisable
and best interests of the laboring classes here
abouts to organize something of protective
association, similar to that of the trades
unions in the East. There not being enough
of any class of trades people to make a sue
cessful stand, the ACCESSIBILITY of all joining
hands was thought proper and so written.
After the reading of the proposed constitution,
any and all members and lBborers were asked
to study the text of the deed, and if it suited
their ideas of justice and right, between man
and man, to walk up and put their name
down as men wiling to back up the words
therein contained. Eightyone good, solid
men said, by signing their names, that the
document suited them. Pretty good for the
first night. There was no buster, no furry
everything moved smoothly, and they ad
iourned over for more permanent organ
lzation until next Wednesday, and will meet,
probably, at the District Court ROOM vote
of thanks was given, with good will, to JUS
tiCe CrOmer for the use of the room for the
evening.

"RoLLING" DRUNKEN MAN.-Of an in
stance of trolling" drunken man, the Tus-

Yesterday afternoon Florence Doan event

saloon on Weed street, to the tune seventy
five dollars Mr.. Smith, one of the proprietors
Of the place, happened to witness the oper-
alton. made Dolan diSgorge, and returned
the money to the inebriated individual. In a
few moments afterwards Dolan repeated the
operation, which was again witnessed by Mr..
Smith, who arrested the fellow and sent for
Deputy Sheriff Boynton, who took Dolan III
custody and locked him up in jail. He will
interview Justice Abbot this morning, and the
chances are that the upshot of the business
will be the checking of Dolan's baggage to the
Hot Springs at Carson.

AN ECCENTRIC TEAMr,-The Alpine Signal
relates the following:
Saturday in the forenoon man carrying
his blankets stopped at house near Monitor
and asked for something to eat. He was told
to take seat at the table and help himself,
which he did. But after finishing his meal
he emptied the salt-cellar, put it in his pocket
and left The next morning he called at the
Hot Spring ranch and again asked for some
thing to eat, at the same time stating that he
had not eaten anything for five days. Just
at this moment he espied man coming to-
ward the house, and asked who it was, and
on being told that it was Nanny Rutter, said
if that was Nanny Rutter he did not want to
see him, and he shouldered his blankets and
started across the mountains i'll the direction
of Hope Valley. We have heard nothing of
him since and suppose he was laboring under
temporary arrangement.

FIGHTING SQUAws,-Says the Alpine Signal
of Wednesday:
Down on the bank OF Markleevile creek
yesterday afternoon several mahalas became
entanglcd in the mysteries of the pugilistic
art, and one of them, while endeavoring to
free herself from two antagonists, resorted to
knife, which she handled with a viii and
dexterity known only to the maidens of the
forest. After giving both of her assailant
number of deep gashes and ugly wounds she
succeeded in making her escape, We made
diligent inquiry to ascertain the cause of the
fracas, and learned that it was ali for love,
the object of their united affection being
white man. The mahaa who did the cutting
was taken in charge by Deputy Sheriff Haw-
kins and lodged III jail. Time only can tell
the fate of the white man.

THE CHINESE WENT.-Says the Tuscarora
Times Revie,c:
Formerly there were tolerably fair placer
diggings in the guleh below the Grand Prize
works. They are now worked out, but while
sluicing the ground, promising vein of gold
and silver bearing quartz was discovered about
which dispute has arisen between some
Cinnamon and white men which eliminated
Yesterday in the latter taking forcible posses
sion of the ground. The heathens retreated
