LETTER FROM NEVADA.
EUREKA, Aug. %, 1879.

EUREKA, Aug. %, 1879.
The excitement incidental to the
Coal Burners strike is still pending, but
the strike has eliminated in a desper-
ate conflict between a sheriff's posse of
nine men and one hundred Italians, at
Fish Creek, about 10 miles south of
Eureka. 1t appears that the @. Is. had
warned all teamsters that they would
not be allowed to load any more coal
at Fish Creek under any circumstances
until the coal troubles were settled to
the satisfaction of those concerned, and
furthermore, they would prevent the
loading OF any team at the risk of their
own lives. Sheriff Kyle hearing of
this, at once sent a posse of nine men
to protect the teamsters. The latter,
being assured of protection at once at
tempted to load, but were driven back,
again trying, one of the leaders of the
Italians drew revolver and fired at a
man named Rich, the ball just grazing
his head. This was going too far and
the officers opened fire on the rioters
with such telling effect, that five fell
dead, and six Others We're badly wound
ed. This caused a commotion in the
enemy's camp and they at once fled in
great disorder, shouting at the officers,
none of whom had been hurt We
think this lesson will not soon be for
g)tten.
Business at Eureka is not very rush
ing through the day, but to judge from
the immense crowds to be seen on the
streets at night, a person could truth
fully say that it was not for the want
of people. Americans, Spaniards, Chi
nese, Indians, English, Italians and in
fact people from all quarters of the
globe, seeking amusement which is
easily found, if q person can enjoy a
glass Of beer with sprightly waiter
girl, (whose beauty is conspicuous by
its absence,) who will beguile Il weary
hour away with u song or an attempt
| to dance the Can-Can. One of the
most popular resorts is Joe Member S
parlOTs where games of chance Of all
| descriptions are played, and where one
is sure to be tleeced. 1t makes no diff
| ference to the sharps whether they win
at keno, faro, or any of the other nu-
merous sWinHes. | have d hard feel
ing against those pa,lors, for | would
| bet on the turn of the card and it turn

capacious pocket of the faro dealer. 1t
always touches tender spot to hear
any one say ''faro." AT one end of the
gambling room is stationed a large mu-
steal box, also full band, the music
of each attracting large crowds, and al
so | mistrust, helping to enlarge the
bank account of the proprietor of the
gambling concern. With the aid of a
few glasses of beer, and the really en-.
! chanting strains of a German waltz, OF
the latest ballad, a half-hour can be
spent in a pleasant if not profitable
manner. @. w. LADD.

The Farmers picnic at Queen City
Park, Burlington, last Thursday was
one of the largest gatherings that ever
took place in that vicinity, over 140
car loads coming by rail, hundreds of
people by boat and hundreds more by
teams. 1t is estimated that nearly 49,
600 outsiders were in the city. An i'm
mense audience listened to Rev. Henry
Ward Beecher in the afternoon. His
subject was a general consideration of
the present condition Of the country,
and the address included ain ELOQUENT
vindication of the republican form of
government of New England, the
speaker saying that never before was
there a time when the people were so
well off schools, colleges and churches
were steadily going up h; religious
dogmas modifying, for God is an. eter-
nal Revelator and theology must
change its forms there never was SO
profound religious spirit in New
England, not even when the Pilgrims
sanctified Plymouth Rock. OF Califor-
MIA he said AS to tile Chinese, take
the Irish from San Francisco and there
will be no word of grumbling the
Chinese are clean, industrious, kind
people, that thrive where Americans
starve. Let the Chinese come, and if
any American sect can't fight their
heathenism it is better to go under.
OF the South he said The South is
coming up, the prospect there is better
than at any time since the war, and
the people are behaving better. There
never was so much hope of the South
as today, and when the present genera
ton has passed away there will be no
more trouble at the South. All will
be united and there will be only polit-
ical excitement to liquify the iellied
blood. After the speech Beecher took
the train for the White Mountains.

TAKING TIME BY THE FORELOCK

Coming events cast their shadows
before, and already, through the mists
Of months, the gladstone Holiday sea-
son looms clearer day by day. filling
the youthful mind with pleasing
speculation, and causing materfamilias
to consider in what direction she can
exercise a little additional economy,
whereby the money for presents may
be forthcoming when required. And
just in the nick of time there comes to
hand a suggestion of how Johnny,
and Mamie, and FlosSie, and Charley
may secure for themselves and by their
own eXertions, the jack knives and
work boxes, and writing cases, and
tool chests, for which their souls are
longing of how mamma may get that
book or paIlor ornament she has talked
about so often: and of how, by their
united exertions they may obtain a
present wherewith to surprise and
gladden. the soul of papa. For the
publishers of EHRICHs' FASHION QUAR-
TERLY are in the field with the new
premium list of their magazine and
all that mamma OF children Tor papa
either for that matter) need do, is to
send name and address on a postal
card to Messrs. Enrich & Co., of 287
Eighth Avenue, New York, when a
copy of the list will be mailed them
free, and they can appreciate for them
selves the advantages offered. The
FASHION QUARTERLY so exactly fills
its place as a guide to economy in the
household. and its subscription price,
only 80 cts. a year, is 50 very trifling,
that little difficulty should be expert
enced in securing subscriptions and
we have no doubt that thousands will
gladly avail themselves of the opportu-
nifty thus presented Of securing some
useful article at very moderate ex-
pense of time and trouble.

MoFE general improvement has been

when the Tuscarawas Valley Road road is

wait two or three hours at WellsvilIe on
their way to Cleveland from this end Of

THERE will be a camp-meeting held in

troll of Rev. D. n. Mason, Elder, assisted
by Rev. A. Williamson. The Bishop and

1t begins to look as II the Commissioners
will never levy the pike tax. And they
should not. The same money that would
be invested in pixies would build and
equip Narrow Gauge Railroads all over

pixies is past. The Narrow Gauge Rail

summer Is the time Of all others when

Of vegetables and fruits and inexpensive

in summer time. There are no heavy
coal bills to provide for, and no great

hence the means Of family can be de-
voted TO securing comfort in the way Of q
greater variety Of food. Our Wheeling
markets are usually good in the summer
time. No interior town is better supplied
with wholesome food or a more tempting

Cheap TRANSFORMATIONS Comforts

NhNAP bttA
The railroad excursions of last year
from this city and Pittsburgh were in pur.
suance OF the education received by the
people during the great Centennial year,
at the time when persons were carried
from Wheeling to Philadelphia and back
for s.. Last fall they were carried to Chi
cago and back for s.; and to Niagara for s..
These cheap fares Of the last three years
have educated the peopleto the idea OF a
yearly trip somewhere provided the pro-
per inducements are held out by the rail-
roads. The railroads have found out that
they can afford to offer these inducements
because they get many people 10 ratronize
them who would,never think OF taking a
trip because Of sheer inability If they did
not put downtheir fares to dead.low rates.
We notice in the way Of inducements
for an extensive trip this summer an an-
nouncement that an excursion will leave
Detroit July eth for the White Mountains
Of New Hampshire, and other points, in
Guiding u trip Of two thousand miles,
Ito take in Quebec and tho sca.shore)
for $25. Tickets good for forty.fve days.
This is only u sample of the excursions
that are making up and will be made up
during the next three months to all parts
OF the country. We advise our readers
not to be in hurry joining any Of them.
As tho season wanes the excursions will
grow cheaper, and as for the pleasure Of
travelling, it is really much greater in Sep.
TENDER than in summer. The heat and
dust that take away so much of the pleas
urcs of locomotion can generally be avoid
ed in the first two OF the fall months, and
the country never looks more beautiful nor
is the air ever more bracing and vivilying
than in the carly autumn.
To those who are inyalids, and whomust
needs seek the sea shore OF the mountains
to escape the hot weather, this advice
does not Of course apply, They must avail
themselves Of such opportunities as are
now offering for cheap travel, and gener.
ally speaking they can hear of reduced
rates by instituting an intelligent inquiry
