The Committee to whom was referred
the complaint and charges against Assist.
ant Fire Marshal Carpenter, having fully
investigated the same, reported that they
found from the evidence taken that Car
penter was under the influence OF liquor
on the eveningspecitied in said complaint;
that he went to the FIRE, however, and en-.
deavored to discharge his duty. Although
he has been connected with the Wheeling
Fire Department for many years, this d
the first charge that has ever been pre-.
ferred against him for drinking while in
the discharge Of his duty. The Commit
tee further find that he Is regarded as an
efficient fireman. Under the circumstances,
the Committee recommended no action
against him at this time, because Of his
past usefulness asan officer, and by reason
OF the additional fact that the complaint
was tho first ever made against him. The
Committee recommended the adoption Of
resolution discharging the Committee,
and Tor the reasons set forth in their report
no further action be taken against him.
The resolution was adopted.

At the Hastings mine the workmen
are pushing ahead and getting along
favorably with sinking operations.
The improvements recently made at The

ExEMPrING PRINTING - OFFICES
FROM EXECUTION.

Mr.. Taylor. Assemblyman from Nye
county, has introduced bill. a copy of
which has been kindly furnished us, to
amend section 22l of "An Act to regu.
late proceedings in civil cases in Courts
of Justice in this State, approved
March 9Th, 1882 This section en-
braces all the property exempt from ex-
ecution, among which are household
furniture; the farming implements and
team of the farmer; the tools and i'm
plements Of the mechanic; the dwelling

on mining operations, of the miner; the

Taylor adds to the list of property ex-
empt from execution. the printing

son owning 81, 500 worth Of property.
who might be indebted to person not
worth half that amount to be exempted
by law from the payment of the debt
by forced sale of his property; bat that
printers should be entitled to the same
protection as other mechanics or srti-
sans, there is no doubt. This can be
accomplished by reducing the amount
say 1000, which would leave the pub.
Usher of newspaper $500 worth OF
material exempt from execution. The
effect of the bill if it becomes a law as
it now Is, will be to prevent persons
from trusting newspaper publishers TO
any great extent, bat as they are not
disposed to do that anyway. it will per-
haps make no difference 10 that respect.

THE CASTOR BILL AGAIN.

The Carson Appeal reviews the crit
cisms of the Virginia Enterprise on the
CASTOR bill regulating fares and freights
on railroads The Enterprise says the
rates specified in the bill would author
izs the Central Pacific Railroad Com
pany to charge $l65 for frst-class
passenger ticket from New York to San
Francisco. and to charge at the rate of
$19S per ton. or $3.50 per car load for
freight between those places. The APP
peal asks what prevents them from
charging those rates now, when the
general law of this State allows the
Central Pacific Railroad Company ten
cents per mile for each passenger, and
twenty cents per mile for each ton of
freight transported over its road within
the State of Nevada. The Appeal at.
tributes the opposition of the Enterprise
to the bill to its zeal to prevent any re-
duction of rates Oh the Virginia and
Truckee railroad, and says: This at.

Central Pacific, is like the cry of the

Mr.. Morrison of this county is
member of the Committee on Corpora
tons and Railroads, to whom the Gas
ton bill was referred. In letter rslat
ing to the bill he says he is in favor of
amending sections 4 and 6. and strik-
ing out section 5, which refers to rates
on the Central Pacific railroad outside
the limits of the State. matter ov,r
which the Legislature has no control.
With these amendments he considers
the bill good one, and will recommend
its passage; but the Chairman of the
Committee, Mr.. Smith of Storey, holds
to the opinion of the Enterprise, SO it
ID impossible to tell what the fate of the
bill will be. Il is stated that reports
will be brought before the Committee to
show that the Virginia and Truckee
Railroad Company only realizes profit
of II per cent. per annum on the cap
ital invested in the road. As ii is ger.
orally believed that the Y. e. T. railroad
Is the best paying property in the
State, Dir. Morrison is 10th to believe
such reports unless they are well au-
shenticated, but it is not bis desire, nor
the desire of his constituents that rail-
roads should be crippled by legislation
30 that they cannot be run with profit
to their owners.
1t is becoming plainly eviden; that
the Virginia and Truckee Railroad Com
pany will use every means 10 its power
to prevent the passage of bill reduc-
ing the rates of fares and freights on
railroads in Nevada. The Storey county
delegation will, with probably few ex
eeptions, be governed by its wishes.

rather early in the session to predict
this result. but the comments of the |
Enterprise on the CASTOR bill proves |
eonclusively what the Appeal asserts,
that its cry of stop thief !" raised |
against the Central Pacific is to attract
attention from the crooked railroad, |
whose owners. it is alleged, are largely
interested IN the leading newspaper of
Nevada.
