A Bloody Row at Quebec,


The ship laborers' trouble at Quebec cul-
minated on the 18th inst. in q fearful free
fight in lower town in Champlain street,
near Allen, Rae & Co.'s wharf. No. section
of the society seeded, considering they
were not properly treated, and formed an
Independent society composed almost en-.
tirely of French Canadians. On the morn
ing Of the 18th inst. they walked in process.
sion through the streets to show their
strength, hut when on the way to Cove were
set upon by a large body of the parent so.
ciety. There were about 5000 men on the
French Canadian side; not so many on the
other, which was composed principally of
Irish Canadians. Shots and blows were
freely exchanged to the injury of great
number IN the crowd. Pierre Geroux and
q man named Fleurie received death
wounds. Twenty-six men are known to
have been seriously hurt by bullets. Sew
eral houses were sacked and hardware
stores robbed of firearms. The police were
powerless and were all massed at No. sta.
ton, consequently the city wss left in the
hands of the mob.
Later.-Advices of the 10th state that an
old man Damed Crowley was fatally beaten
on that day by two men. Estimates of the
expense to the city bv the riot are over $780,
600 exclusive of the commercial loss which
must ensue. Rioting and assaults at Cape
Blanc continue at intervals, hut there is
not now so much apprehension of another
fight.

stored to the public domain $685. ,250 acres
on the northeastern bank of the Missouri
river, corresponding in general outlines to
the area withdrawn by executive orders of
Jan. II, and May 8, 1876; now revoked.
Small sections of territory Immediately ad'
joining Grand river, Cheyenne and Indian
Rock agencies are still withheld. It was
intended when the ordersnow revoked were
issued to keep the whites from pressing too
closely upon the Sioux Indians, but in prac.
tice it was found orders did not prevent
trespass by reckless frontiersmen who
preyed alike upon peaceable whites and
Indians, hence the lands are again thrown
open to settlement.

Do Not Want to be Annexed.

Some of the residents of Mason
Valley claim that they do not wish
to be annexed to Lyon county, at the
present time. Two years ago they
were unanimous on the subject, but
since then the revival of operations
in the Bodie and Aurora districts has
procured them a better market for
their produce than they formerly had
in Dayton, Silver, or the other Com
stock towns, and they are quite
willing to travel eighty miles to
Aurora, to pay their taxes, instead of
coming twenty-five or thirty miles to
Dayton. Besides, they say, the
county seat must soon be changed
from Aurora, and Dayton will then
be no nearer to them than the new
seat. The other side of this ques.
ton is yet to be heard. ~

The Lyon County Railroad.

Superintendent Yerington inform
ed TINES reporter, last Wednesday,
that arrangements had been made in
the East by d. o. Mills, for the pur-
chase and transportation of all the
iron required to build the Lyon
county road from the Mound House
to Aurora, and that the road would
therefore be built in THE Spring, be-
yond any doubt--if the Legislature
did not fix the rates of fares and
freights so low that the railroad
company could not hope to operate
the road at a profit, after building it.
The 'ifn struck the reporter as being
an aftcrthought.

careful prospecting should be made
on the 182-level for the rich ore lead
which sample 80 shows to exist in
that part of the mine, and some idea
of its extent and direction obtained.
Any ore of this quality taken out
should be sacked and we'll protected.
All this work can be done at a low
cost, with day shift of miners only
employed at each place indicated.
Therefore, as an economical mode of
working the mine, propose as fol-
lows:

Or total cost per month. 81, 600 90
Or less than So so per ton on the
ore hoistcd; add $40 per ton for mill
ing and huuling; total cost, $13 80
per ton. This would give Sc so per ton
profit on $50 ore, or 81, 800 per month
after paying all expenses; and even
il the grade of ore was only SIS, a
profit of $500 per month, which
would be most probably doubled, as
we can make arrangement to mill the
low-grade ores at reduced rates. If,
however, our ore should yield up to
rs per cent. of the assay values, the
profit we could make might reach
$4,000 per month, not counting the
rich ore samples at all.

Our force can of course be ma
terially increased according to the
work it may be most desirable to
undertake, as the larger force of
miners we can work, the cheaper in
proportion will be the extraction of
ore: the hosting and engineering ex-
penses being about the same, we
must so regulate the work below as
to keep it fully occupied.

The State Finances !.


The annual report of State Treas
urer Guenther for the fiscal year end
ing September 30th, 1879, is pub
lished, and presents the finances of
the State in favorable light. The
receipts into the treasury for the year
from all sources amounted to 81, 6l2.
662 so. Add to this sum the balance
in the treasury at the beginning of
the fiscal year, October LIST, 1878,

treasury was $2,2l5,97J.o9. The dis
bursements from this sum during the
year aggregated s1,627,146 40, leav
ing in the treasury on the 30th of
September, 1879, balance of $685.
s24 so. The balance in the treasury
at the beginning of this fiscal year. it
will be seen, is 1885 81 greater
than that in the treasury at the be-
ginning of the last fiscal year.
The principal sources of income,
aside from the various educational
funds--or in ether words the priHci.
pal sources OF the general fund
were, the tax from counties for the
support Of the asylums for the insane,
the industrial school for boys, and the
state university, $777.1s3; tax on
railroad companies, $395,se tax
on lire insurance companies, $50, 1902;

The principal disbursements were:
For Supreme Court, $3o,25s; for
Circuit Courts, $50 600; for the
state university, s4t,310; interes,
on the state indebted uess, S157 $50;

nevolent institutions, S37S, 815; OF
this last sum s256,804 went TO the
two asylums for the insane. The
sum paid for clerk hire in the de-
partmepts was $31 694.
The total ndebted ess of the state
is 81. 252 O58, the bulk of which is
owed to she various educational
funds Of The state, as follows: To
the common school fund, 81 572,700;

the Agricultural college fund, $751;

Law Relating to Injuries on Rail-
roads.

The statutes of this State make
railroad companies liable for DANA
ges sustained by an agent or employee
thereof, while in the line OF his duty
as such, caused by the negligence of
any other agent or employee OF such
company in respect to his duty as
such, where the negligence of the
person so injured does not materially
contribute to the result. This stat
ute has been regarded as very OBJ :.
jeotionable by the railroad conpan
les, as establishing rule for them
that is not required of any other cor
poration, and all claims for damages
that have arisen under it have been
strenuously resisted. We recall but
a single instance where case arising
under this statute has gone to
the Supreme Court--that of Bitt-
bergner VS.. The Chicago, Milwau
kee d st. Paul K. r Go. This case
was tried before Judge Stewart. in
the Columbia County Circuit, and
the consttutionality of the law.
which was the chief defense, was
sustained by him. On appeal to the
Supreme Court, Judge Stewards de-
cision was affirmed The defend
ants have now appealed the case to
the United States Supreme Court.
II may be sometime before hearing
Is reached, but the Importance of the
question warrants the proceedings
which have been taken to obtain the
opinion of the highest Court in the
land npon the constitutional point
involved. State journal.
