BADLY TREATED.

Albert Nolte of No. 81 Canal street. called at Police
Headquarters yesterday and related very singular
and confused story. He said he had been carousing
with few boon companions and left them at Hous-
ton and Mercer streets late on Sunday night He
wasn't exactly certain that he took the right direction
home. and ON meeting police officer no asked for
information on that point. He alleges that the
guardian Of the public peace responded to
this reasonable interrogatory by cracking
the belated traveller on the Uranium with
the official locust Not being particularly steady
his pedals, the hapless citizen fell in heap to the
sidewalk from the force OF the blow. He has con-
fused remembrance of what followed. He says he was
dragged some distance and then dumped in the cold
embrace of snow bank When he recovered con-
seriousness he found that he plus cut
head and minus his silver watch and pocket
book. He charges that these accumulated dis
asters OF which he was the victim were
brought about by the officer who had in
the first place assaulted him and then robbed him of
his watch and pocketbook Mr.. NoIte unable to
give any description of the officer, and he did not
know his name number. Captain Mcdonnell and
Inspector Thorne dscredit tho mans story, and say
he In such beastly state of ntoxcation that It
is impossible for him to give clear connected
statement of his movements the night In question.
II is probable. they claim that he assaulted and
robbed by some of the notorious thieves who infest
Houston street late ut night.

A PAGE OF HISTORY.
Rev. MIR. GrOsh. Father Of the
DISCOVERIES Of the COmstock, In
Needy Circumstances.

A. G. Winslow, accompanied by
his wife, Mrs. DR.. Caroline B. Wins
low, of No. 1 Grant Place, Washing
ton, D. c., came to town last Thurs
day, to look up the facts connected
with the residence here of the Grosh
brothers, the reputed discoveries of
the Comstock. Mrs. Dettenreider, of
Virginia, who settled at Ragtown, in
this county, in the early fifties, and
is therefore quite familiar with the
early history Of the Comstock, came
with Mr.. and Mrs. Wlnslow. To-
gether. they visited the grave of
Hosea b. Grosh, in the Silver ceme-
terry, the lode on the American Com
pany's ground where silver ore was
first discovered by the Grosh broth
ers, and the very spot where their
cabin stood, and obtained much in
formation concerning them from old
residents of this place. Mrs. DR.,
Winslow was schoolmate of the
Grosh brothers, and has kept up very
intimate relations with their father, a
Universalist minister, ever since
Being about to take trip across the
continent, some weeks ago, she prom.
ised the Rev. Mr.. Grosh that she
would visit Silver City and obtain all
the information she could concerning
his sons scjourn in this vicinity
The Rev. Mr.. Grosh is now 70 years
old, and in needy circumstances
About twelve years ago, being inca,
pacitated for further ministerial
labors, he sought place in the De
partment Of Agriculture, in Wash
ington. Being fine penman and {
writer of ability, he obtained it, and
for years prepared the agriculture
reports which are so extensively
quoted and commented on. Abou
four years ago, having no political in
fluence, he was removed, and ha'
since lived in straitened circum
! stances. His only son owns a small
farm on the border of Maryland, bu
that hardly suffices to support him
self and family, so that be can Civ,
his father no assistance whatever.
The above facts are published a
the request of Mr.. Winslow, who
thinks that some or those who have
since grown rich from the discovery
of the Grosh brothers might thereby
be induced to aid their father. nov
that his advanced age prevents him
from earning livelihood.

leave for the East by last evening",

Haverly's MastOdOn Combination

The audiences which have gathered
within the walls of Piper's Opera
House since last Tuesday evening
must convince the most skeptical
that performances of unusual excel
lence are being rendered there. Hav-
erly's combination is showing the
people that real enjoyment can be
given by minstrels without resort to
the coarseness and vulgarity which
usually accompany such exhibitions.
Music the sweetest, dancing most ex-
cellent, mirth and jollity Of the mer-
riest, and producing upon the stage
everything advertised in the bills,
have made Haverly's Mastodon Min
strel Combination the greatest sue
cess of the season. There will be a
matinee this afternoon and the
closing performance this evening.
