A RETRACTION.

In the last issue of the TIMES
there appeared an item which we are
now satisfied was false in every ma
terial point. We allude to the state
ment that there had been trouble
followed by separation between
Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Wostell, Of
Sutro. Nothing of the kind has &C.
CURED, and we are therefore COM
PEELED, in justice to the family in
question, to our readers and to our
selves, to make this retraction. The
statement referred to came to us
from persons whom we deemed re-
liable, or it would not have been ad-
mitted to our columns.

The Republican candidates of
Washoe county recently hit upon a
novel plan OF electing delegates to
the County Convention. They simply
held meeting and named the dele
gates, with instructions to meet in
convention, and nominate them (the
candidates). This did not suit the
people, and call for a citizens
meeting to nominate delegates is
now published, which among other
'causes of action" alleges that
twenty men who want Office should
not be allowed to name twenty-three
men to represent in convention seven
hundred voters; that the issues and
interests of a county should figure
in the choice of her representatives
in convention, and that candidates
forget these matters in their personal
interests; that candidates who live
in Reno have no right to exclude
other worthy citizens Of the county
from official aspirations by naming
twenty three men solely in their own
interests; that a candidates choice is
not necessarily good one, and that
we consider it duty to rebuke such
a course for once and all; that the
people should nominate their SER
wants as we'll as elect them, and that
candidates should submit to the vote
of the people, not attempt to dictate
it. The call is signed by many Of
the leading citizens Of Reno.

LET THE RATCHET BE BUR.

At the hour of writing votes are
still being cast and the winning COM
bination is not known. Three tick
cts are in the field and it is impossi.
BILE that. they should all be VIC
torious. Two of the three must be
defeated. The fight throughout has
been calm, deliberate, dignified.
None of the dirty tricks so dreaded
by honorable politicians have been
resorted to. There is, therefore, no
additional cause for enmity between
the rival candidates, other than exist
ed before the opening of the polls,
and this is not of that class that will
drive man to encompass the defeat
OF his opponent, even though he be-
long to the same party. When the
result shall have been announced
whatever it be-the people of this
county will expect continuance Of
the feelings of mutual good will that
should animate fellow workmen in a
common cause; and we do not be-
lieve that they will be disappointed,
but that victor and vanquished will
unite in strong and successful ef-
fort to keep Lyon in the proud posi-
ton of the banner Republican county
of the State.

DO NOT DO THIS WRONG.

We understand that few-a very
few--of the Republicans of this
county intend to use their influence
upon the County Convention to have
that body pledge its legislative ticket
to the reelection of j. p. Jones to
the United States Senate. We hope
that the Convention will not submit
to such dictation. There will un-
doubleday be other Republican can.
didates for the United States Sena-
torship and there would be neither
policy or justice in pledging any
nominees in advance Of the an
nouncement of all the candidates.
There are many good Republicans
in this county who are not at all
crazed on the Jones question, and
who would as soon see some other
man wear the toga for while. 1t
the wishes and rights Of these men
are not consulted, they will either
stay away from the polls altogether
or vote the Democratic ticket. The
last will not be such an outrageous
proceeding, either, since one of the
arguments of Senator Jones' friends
is that he is as acceptable to the
Democrats as to the Republicans.
1t is a poor rule that will not work
both ways, and these Jealous Jones
men may wake up, some fine morn
ing, and find out that a Democratic
candidate is equally acceptable to
some Republicans. Letthe Conven-
ton nominate staunch Republicans,
and all will be we'll but if it pre-
sumes to pledge them to any candi-
date, we greatly fear that all will
NOT be well.

The columns of the Reno Ga
zette have been heightened and an
additional column given to each
page. In announcing the fact the
editor says that he is quite willing
to again enlarge, and that " Reno can
have just as big paper as she will
ray for" If the Gazette only pub
lished the telegraphic dispatches it
would be one of the leading papers of
the State. A year or so hence this
may be the case.

THE ALTA NINE.

Dan de guile recently visited the
Alta mine on behalf of San Fran
cisco paper, and his report has been
published. According| to this re-
port there is in the Alta an ore. body
which has been stripped on five lev
els-from the 1850 to the 155O.levels
and which, whenever cut into,
was found to be of a good milling
grade. No prosecuting has been
done as yet, and the value and ex-
tent of the ore body is therefore q
matter for conjecture. AS we have
no room for Dan de DULLES entire
report, we republish the conclusion,
which is kind of summing up of
the whole, as follows:
1t will be seen that there is on the
several levels of the mine a vast
deal of the ore body stripped and
ready for prosecuting at any time.
The only places where the ore has
been cut into are on the 1850 and
1850 levels, near the top of the de-
post. This is to the southwark, at
the winze, on the 1850 level, at the
Justice line, and about the foot of
the winze on the 1850 level. At
both these points the ore is all such
as will pay we'll tor milling, and
some of it assays high in the hum
dreds. The ore vein was crossed in
pinched place en- the 1850 level
by the west crosscut. Further to
the northward all that is known OF
it is what is to be seen at points
where they have accidentally run
into it on the several levels. One
of these points is on the 1850 level
where, 20 feet north of the west
crosscut, the workmen bore too far
north for a few feet; another is on
the 1901 level where the oriit cut

Labor Reform.

New YORK. May 5.
The eighth annual convention of the
American Labor Reform League was
commenced to-day. Z. H. Haywood
made the opening address, saying that
the League seeks the liberty to assert
the natural rights of all people to do
their best at their own risk, and to re-
peal laws recognizing property, and to
abolish al monopolies which give prop
erty special advantages against labor.
The following resolutions were adopted:
ReSOlyed, That since capitalists take life and
destroy property to retain their power TO steal,
the Kearney-men who invoked the halter in
California, the MOllie Maguires reported to
have killed coal bosses, and the railway strik
ers are morally lawful belligerents, justly ex-
ercising the same rights of defensive warfare
apnlauded in tipping British tea into Boston
harbOr, in John Browns march on Harper's
Ferry, and in the killing of pro-slavery South
erners by Northern Unionists.
Resolged, That the chief mission of the Sill
yer bill and greenback movement is to hasten
reputation, when debts paid in favor of in
terest will be paid forever, and we hail the
growing irresistible tendencies South and
West to second the purposes of the New En-
gland labor reformers by abolishing all power
to get pay for lOans stocks or other valuables
more than once-to make it illegal, ,disgraceful
and impossible to prey on other people earn
ings.
ReSolUed, That the National and Working
mems parties, like their other brethren in sin,
Republicans and Democrats, by sustaining
them in usurpatiOn, enslave, defraud and de
spoil woman; that, demanding for her equal
pay for equal work with man, we seek by in
dustrial equity TO erase sex lines, as well as
race and color lines, from labor reform.
Geo. w. MADDOX said New York ought
to issue its own money, build markets,
docks and other improvements, and he
hoped, ''by the Eternal that people
would starve in order to awake them to
these facts. He said if these things could
not be got by the ballot-box then he
favored getting them by the cartridge
box. He would make it a State s-prison
ottense for any man 10 hold more real
estate than was necessary to support
him. The laborer makes wealth and
it should belong to him.
Similar addresses were made by
others.

LEGISLATlYE.

Senate, AprU 3O.--The General APP
preparation bill was considered in Com
mittee of the Whole. When the Sec
tion relating to expenses of the Com
missioner of Railroads was reached,
Senator Forrest opposed any increase
of appropriation, stating that there was
too much money being spent on what
is at best an ornamental office. On re-
suming his seat Railroad-C Commissioner
Bell, who was on the floor, approached
him and, after some words, pushed the
Senator from his seat to the floor, and
was proceeding TO strike him when
they were separated. The assault
caused intense excitement and reso-
luton was adopted to appoint a COM
mittee to inquire into the affair. At
the afternoon session a communica-
ton was received from Bell, apol-
ogizing for the breach of decorum,
which was referred to a select commit

Explosion and Loss of Life.

MINNEAPOLIS Mimi, May 2.
This evening at seven o clock the city
was shaken as by an earthquake, by a
terrific explosion, which was promptly
traced to the group of great Touring
mills on what is known as the platform
Just above st. Anthony's Falls, where
the entire Touring district of the city is
concentrated. The explosion came
from the great Washburn mill, from
which column of flame was seen to
shoot up several hundred feet, followed
by crash which crushed the immense
structure like an egg-shell. Second
airy explosions instantly destroyed
Thompson & Hoyt's and Humboldt
mills, and the flames Immediately burst
out, communicating to the Galaxy mills,
those of Petit, Robinson g. Co., Ca
hill, Ankeny & Co., Day 4 Sons, Day
q Robbins, Buell., Newton & Co., Gas
ton, Hayward & Co., the Washburn A
and B mills, and lesser structures down
the bank of the river. The destruction
from the shock of the explosion extend
ed much further, glass being wrecked
for several squares and buildings shaken
throughout the city.

the hour of changing day for night

building. The number of dead is placed
at seventeen.

escapes occurred. Daniel Day was

A Triple Murder Unrecorded.

DR.. Fish was Fastening down Main

accosted him and exclaimed:

The doctor did not tarry for further

to the sanctum, and inquired: Is
Editor Orgilvie in?' There was a
hearty affirmative from the party in
question. The doctor sat down.
"Great news,n he said. II have a

Honesty and Dishonesty.

A case of swindling is thus described
by the Springfield (Mass.) Republican:
"Twenty-six years ago man went
from this section of the country to Cal
ifornia, leaving 800 in the hands of II
Wilbraham farmer, and taking his note
for the same. He also left paper with
a prominent business man of Chieopee
explaining the transaction, and has cor
responded with the farmer who had his
money in charge pretty regularly ever
since his departure. When he returned
to this city few weeks ago, however,
expecting to recover his money, which
at simple interest amounts to over 3d.
600, the farmer, who is said to be worth
$50, 900 or more, met him, it is said,
with an offer of $3.50 to settle the whole
matter. This was Indignantly refused,
and, being threatened with prosecution,
the holder of the money sought legal
counsel in this city and learned that the
note which he had given was outlawed
and that he could not be compelled to
pay anything on it unless he so chose.
He accordingly refused to pay back a
penny even of the money which had
been intrusted TO him, and the man,
finding that the paper left with the
Chicopee party was of no value, was
obliged to borrow 800 in order to make
his way back to California, where he
has accumulated little property"
A story of a pleasanter kind is told
by the Augusta (Me.) Journal: Last
fall one of the Rennebec farmers in
Readfield, Me-, sent in lot of butter
to a groceryman in Augusta, who re-
turned the money in payment therefor.
On Monday last he came to market
again, and informed the dealer that in
paying for the butter he had sent him
SO too much, and he returned that sum.
He also brought lot of butter which
came to 1926 but he would take only
$5, as he desired the twenty-five cents
to go as payment of interest on the SS
he had previously been oVerpaid.n
