AN order has been issued by
the managers of the Erie Railroad
which IL intended to prevent the
brakesmen in the employ of that
company from flirting with young
women passengers or girls along
the road. The average brakeman
would have felt less aggrieved If
oils salary had been cnt down fifty
or sixty per cent. And the girls
we'll, it's very likely the girls Will
hold an indignation meeting and
conclude. when they wani to ride
to 20 on some other road. where
brakeman have ordinary human
rights.

There has been a constant and gratifying
increase in the business Of the B. & W.
Railroad. Each week adds to the bust.
ness Of the preceding one.
About twenty a loads OF manufac,

the railroads, and in addition there are
considerable quantities shipped by river.

are running up to their full capacity. Mr..
Charles Gill returned from a very success

coming in faster than they can be filled.
The Buckeye Lantern Company has

telligent and energetic management Of Mr..

company are largely in excess OF the ex-
penSes. A new car will soon be placed on,

Mr.. N; Sheets, Secretary OF the Belmont

The yard Is to be occupied for any length

the question TO be decided now Is whether
to repair the sheds and pens here OF TO

PASSAGE OF THE LEWIS BILL IN

The Assembly yesterday passed the so-called
Lewis Bill, regulating freight tariffs and prac-
tees on the Central Pacific Railroad This,
regarded in the light of the first effective step
toward legislating upon railroads in this State
is to be considered as something of the very
first Importance. 1t is the entering wedge,
as it were If this bill passes the Senate-as
probably it willard receives the Governors
we shall have the question in shape 20 be
practically tested whether it be possible for
the State to deal directly a7d authoritatively
with that oppressive monopoly. We cengrat-

THE MOFFAT BELL PUNCH IN
NEVADA.

Assemblyman Beard of Elko County has
introduced into the body OF which he Is
member a bill whose purpose it is to engratt
upon our liquor license system the so-called
Moffat bell punch law of the State OF Vlr-
cinia 1t is made the duty of the State Con
troller to cause the construction of the said
bell punches and to issue circulars instructlng
the rum sellers how to use them. The sherlffs
of the various counties are made the custo-
dams of these appliances, and they must ''see
that the instruments are we'll located, firmly
attached and kept in good order" Under the
proposed tax, an ordinary drink of whiskey
pays a tax of % cents to the State, drink of
lager, l cent a quart of liquor 10 cents and
gallon 40 cents, and so OIL. When the bar
keeper, after having served his c'tstomer.
proceeds to punch in the presence OF the gin
drinkaire, he follows directions as subjolned ;
After the registers provided for in the next
preceding section shall have been placed in
the bar-room or place of business of licensed
dealers, it shall be the duty of the retail deal
err immediately on the sale of every half-plnt,
fraction or multiple thereof of ardent spirits,
in the presence of the purchaser or person to
whom it is delivered to turn the crank of the
proper register until the bell has struck once
and the indicator on its dial has moved one
point or number for each half-pint or multiple
thereof so sold, up to and including one gal
Ion. 1t shall in like mtnner be the duty of
the bar room keeper, immediately upon the
sale of each drink Of wine, ardent spirits,
malt liquors OF any mixture thereof, in the
presence of the purchaser or person to whom
it is delivered to turn the crank of the proper
register until the bell has struck once and the
indicator on its dial has moved one point or
number for each drink sold by him.
There is good deal more Of this bill, but
We have presented our readers with sutfi-
cient showing of its provisions to give them
an insight into it's nature and intent. MIR
Pantlind of the Ormsby House has one of

fixed and furnished, for the sum of $40, 900,
and save the property to the State In two
years 1 am told that the taxpayers oppose
the bill on the grounds of economy. Ninety
thousand dollars paid to California in two
years and no returns If that is economy it
heads me off! We have paid, taking Reno as
starting point, in the last eight years, trans
portation on the said insane, enough to build
quarters for them as good as the old hotels
which they have been kept in. And remem-
Der that at every session of the Legislature
an investigating committee has to be sent, at
an expense of about 81 600, and further, |
am told, that when the said committee ex
amined the insane at Woodbridge, they only
found four under the care of the doctor,
showing that medical attendance was at
discount, or that they had no desire to dis
charge as cured any more than they could
possibly help And, further: We have an
Orphans Home which only cost about $12,-
900, better building than the old hotel at
Woodbridge l do not believe it requires
mansion, but good, substantial building of
wood, with quarters for the violent or re-
fractory ones, and don't forget that every
dollar paid to California does not return.

THE RESOLUTIONS OF THE COM
MITTEE OF TWENTY THREE.

After the adjournment of the mass meet
ing in Virginia City on Monday night, the
Committee of twenty three then met and
adopted the following timely and conserva-
tive resolutions:
WHEREAS, An immense concourse of the
people. tax payers and consumers of Storey
County met in public mass meeting this eve
ming on the streets of Virginia City, and ia
tense feeling was manifested respecting the
action of the representatives of Storey County
in opposing the WOODBURY. and Lewis bills;
and at said meeting severe and denunciatory
resolutions were passed; and at said meeting
about 1000 of those assembled voted to
march to Carson and speedily and peacefully
request and demand of our representative
that they keep the pledges they made to the
people; and whereas, this committee does
not desire to assume the responsibility of the
actions of said procession if our representa-
tives are unfaithful to their pledges; there
fore, be it
Resolved, That this Committee desire the
people of this county to wait patiently day
or two, feeling confident that no member of
the Legislature from this county, in view of
his solemn pledges to nominating conventions
and in view of the decidedly expressed wishes
of all the people of Storey County, will vio-
late his said pledges and vote against the
wishes of his constituents.
Resolved, That We deprecate any public
manifestation of anger or hastlness, but We
do solemuly and earnestly, with the sound of
the significant and very emphatic shouts of
the vast concourse of people at said mass
meeting still ringing in our ears, request our
representatives to think seriously and well
before casting their votes against the people

A FLIMSY AND UNTRUTHFUL EX-
CUSE.

A ietter received yesterday from one of the
eastern counties informs us that the excuse
r;ven by the Senator who was last Fall elected
there upon the Republican ticket and pledged
to vote for bill cutting down railroad fares
and freights, for falling down AS he has
done, most shamefully-is that "The Be-
MANIA People" are making fight against the
Local roads. There is not man in Carson
who does not know that this is an absolute
and unauthorized fslsehood. If the Bonanza
people, or any other wealthy and powerful
combination of capitalists only had taken the
field against the railroads, bill restricting
those monopolists would have been passed
long ago. 1t is notorious in Carson that the
anti-railroaders are entirely without any ''am-
munition, and that save and except as they
have been seconded by the Virginia City
Committee of Twenty Three and their at
torneys, they have had NO force wherewlth to
oppose themselves to the powerful and ln-
dustrious lobby in and out and around the
Legislature whose work progresses unceas-
ingly, day and night, and the volume OF
whose Corruption Fund is apparently mex
haustible This stale cry of 'Bonanza" Is
only re-echoed now by the tools of the go
cal' railroads for want of any good and valid
excuse for violating their solemn pledges.
The fact of the matter is, that if any legisla-
ton be perfected in the direction of railway
reforms it will be done upon its merits and
not, as the mercenaries who have betrayed
their constituents would make it appear,
through the Influence of any moneyed inter-
est, ring or combination.
