A Destructive ConAagratiOn al
silver City.

silver City.
The Virginia "Chronicle'' contains full
details Of the destructive fire at Silver City,
Just outside Of Gold Hill. on Tuesday
morning, about A O'Clock. The engines
were on the ground promptly. Before
much could be done, however, the flames
spread northward to Mrs. Drysdale's lodg-
ing house and southwark to the City Jail.
In a few minutes the lo~dging-houses and
Jail were destroyed, but the fire spread no
further north, from the fact that between
Mrs. Drysdale's houses and the Armory
Hall saloon a wide garden interviewed, and
the saloon building was kept wet by the
hose company, and so saved.
On the south, however, the fire spread in
succession over the Jail, a Chinese wash
house adjoining. and then gained a foot
hold in Philip Geyer's brewery, destroying
these three buildings in about half an
hour.
A strong west wind was sweeping around
Table Mountain, and the gale carried the
flames across Main street. The butcher
shop Of Strouse 4 Goetz, and the house oc-
cupied by T. B. Farr as a residence, caught
fire about the same time. The butcher
shop was on the north side Of Fifth street
and Mr.. Fairs residence on the south.
The fire on the north side DESTROYED the
butcher-shop and the vacant building adj
joining. On thes south side was a %collec-
ton of dwelling-houses, all of wood. There
were nine dwellings in all. and they went
one after he other in about the following
order T. r. Fairs, ID. Z. Harkin's. J. E.
Martins and William Maloney's. These
our houses fronted on Main street, and
Immediately behind, or east Of them, we're
dwellings occupied by Theodore Bambrock,
John Haffey, James Lydon, James Duni-
gan and Joseph King-all of which were
destroyed.
The total loss is roughly estimated at
about $50, 900.
Strouse & Goetz lost 81, 200; insured for
50, 900.
Philip Geyer, the brewer, lost 50, 000; in
sured for So, 900.
The Miners Union lost all its books and
papers which were in the honse Of the Sec
retary.

a True spirit.

The Reno Gazette" says: A walk along
any street this morning will show. better
than any newspaper can, the spirit of our
business men. Nearly every lot has some
kind Of a shanty stuck up in which to carry
on trade. Often the whole stock is CON
tanned in a handbook or on one shelf, but
it is the remains of a fine display and the
seeds Of a big storefuli to come. Nearly
all our merchants have sent a mar or tele-
graphed for new goods and are busilv en-
gagged in preparing a place to receive them.

LATEST FROM THE CAPITAL.
Bob Glark-s Railroad Bill Tabled
Bonds 10 Build q school House.
Especial to the Eureka Daily S~entine1.l

.I0
CARSON CRY, March g..
In the Senate, to-day, the Bob Clark
Railroad bill was laid on the table by a vote
of 16 to 6. Boardman, Cassidy, Creswell,
and other strong advocates of restrictive
legislation, voting to lay on the table. The
bill itself is silly and glaringly unconstitu-
tional. 1t is open to the same criticisms as
the Lewis bill, and possesses none of its
virtues. The seventeen cent maximum
bill still hangs fire in the Assembly, on ac-
count of parliamentary obstacles. 1t will
probably pass tonight.
Mr.. Cassidy yesterday introduced and
passed a bill authorizing the School Trus-
tees of Eureka District to issue bonds to
build a school house, the said bonds to be
redeemed inside Of five years. Still, the
law need not be invoked for building pur-
poses unless it becomes necessary.
Cassidy's bill for the relief Of Judge
Harmon, for making out the militia roll,
passed the Senate to-day. The State pays
the money.

The BURNING Of Mrs. Beck.

Says the Reno Gazette, was one of the
curious and horrible incidents of the hola-
canst. Old Mother Beck, as she was called,
was a noted character in Reno. She and
her husband kept a little store on Com
mercial Row, opposite the Pollard House,
and were celebrated for their sharp trades
and grasping natures. 1t appears that her
death was the direct result Of this trait.
At the time the alarm was given the fire
was more than two blocks distant from her
store, but her desire to save her possessions
prevented her from making her escape,
which she could have easily done. Her
husband says she aud himself kept at work
until the flames reached the house, when
he ran out, calling to her to follow. In
stead of running out she called to him to
come back and get something. That was
the last seen Of her alive. Her charred
remains were found in the ruins. just about
where her husband had seen her last. She
was a native of Erfurt, Saxony, and aged
about 40 years.

They Will not Be Respected.

"Women now get the inside Of the
walk, the best seat in the cars, etc, but
when they vote and hold Office they will
have TO rough it. They viii get no Ie-
spect from men,"
This is often said by certain classes Of
opponents Of Woman Suffrage. But
here comes n bit from the other side.
The Omaha Republican champions the
nomination OF Miss Strickland TO a clerk
ship ia the Nebraska House OF Repre-
sentatives, as follows: Gentlemen Of
the House, testify your grateful mem
Ory Of the honOred patriot dead, in the
appointment, by acclamation, Of Miss
Strickland TO the best Office in your
gift"
Again, in the next issue, the same
paper says: "Miss Stricklands appoint
ment 10 a legislative clerkship is as
good as assured. We are glad 10 learn
that Superintendent Irving with charac-
teristic liberality has rendered the young
. lady free passage TO aud from Lincoln
during the session, and accompanied
the same with a personal expression Of
the best wishes for her health and sue
cess in her labors."
/ The Madison county Chronicle, follow
I ing, says: "In honor at her lameuted
/ father, Miss Strickland ought 20 be
elected TO the position Of clerk hy the
members Of the House"
Thus, while the young lady is actually
/ running for Office these gentlemen
/ help 10 settle the question whether
women will receive the respect Of men
/ or not, when they vote and hold Office

He thought our intellect and our phys
ical energy superb and he believed in
the republic, aud yet yith all that more
than any other nation, we were tied to

Some Of the friends Of the late Bay
ard Taylor are preparing a memoir Of
the dead poet, with view both to doing
fuli justice to his memory and to bene-
filing his widow and daughter, who are,
It is feared, in rather straitenei cir
cumstances. Nearly all Of them, and
they are many, have had long and very
interesting private letters from him,
while at home aud abroad, on literature,
art, society, national traits and promi
nent men and women. These are said
to be much superior to any Of his pub
lished correspondence, because they
have a greater freedom, freshness aud
fervor. He had been ia the habit Of
corresponding for many years with the
most noted lterdtctHs ia Great Britain,
France, Italy and Germany, and bad in
his collection any number Of delightful
letters from such men as Tennyson,
Browning, Lewes, Swiuburne, Charles
Reade, Wilkie Collins, Dickens, Renan,
Paine, Cherbuliez, Hugo, Auerbach,
Spielhagen, HaeckIander, Humboldt,
ManzOui, Turgauief and many others.
These are on a great variety Of topics,
aud would be an invaluable addition to
the proposed memoir, which, with in
Vulnerable particulars ofTaylor' strict
ly private life, ought certainly to make
/ "A very interesting work. AUGUST.
