A STUPID Horse THIEF Sunday after
noon George Weston, barkeeper at the Nor
ton House, called at Jim Meder's stable and
wanted to hire saddle horse to 60 to Empire.
The only one not in use belonged to an out
slider. Weston on being told of this said he
would get the owners permission and went
off ostensibly to hunt the man up. He re-
turned in about half an hour and SAID that he
had seen the owner and secured the required
permission. The horse was then saddled and
he rode out just however, as he was turn
ing the corner the owner came up and asked
why the horse was being let out. Weston
was then hailed, but paying no attention to
the shouts, he galloped off toward Empire.
In the afternoon Deputy Sheriff Powers went
to Empire and there learned that Weston had
traded off the horse for another and got $40
to boot. kilograms were sent to different
points, and yesterday morning dispatch was
received from Reno to the fact that the thief
was in limbo He was brought up last night
and lodged in Jail. The animal which he got
in the trade was found tied to fence near
Dangburg's barn west of the city. The horse
originally stolen was recovered at Empire.
This is about the stupidest attempt at horse
stealing ever known.
A TRULY FEMININE WOMAN" My wife
is thoroughbred every inch of her" re-
marked Dobson to crowd in the saloon.
"She can drive horse, transact business,
run hotel or build wooished "
81 like good masculine woman, remarked
friend.
Masculine - reared Dobson excitedly.
" Gentlemen, she's no more masculine than |
am.

TIE WATER LOGGED MINIs.-About q
moHth ago the APPEAL proposed plan OF
working the water logged mines by allowing
the water to have its way in them and pros
pecting the west country by means of drifts,
run from the Combination shaft. The Savage
company have determined to act on this sug-
gestion, and the Hale & Norcross and Gould
& Curry will be obliged to follow suit. 1t is
estimated that it has cost s., SOC, 900 to keep
the pumps going in these mines since the
water was tapped in the Savage, and the
water still pours in. Work from the Combi-
nation shaft can be prosecuted now without
any delay from water, and developing these
mines can go on at lower points than have
been heretofore explored.
PIANOS AND ORGANs-At San Francisco
prices, can be had on easy terms at the rooms
of the Reform Club. Mr.. Vann will give
personal attention to customers, and explain
the pecularities of the various makes. All in
struments fully guaranteed and shipped direct
from Kohler & Chase. San Francisco. No
agency, no profits, no middlemen and 60 risk.
instruments sold on easy installments, and
old ones taken in exchange. Orders for sheet
music or books promptly furnished, and re-
liable piano tuner at the shortest notice.

STOCKS.

There was bad break Yesterday, owing to
a report that the water logged mines were
about to shut down and that stopping OF the
Savage pumps would effect flooding of the
Hale and Norcross. After the FIRST Board
there was slight reaction from the panic and
the improvement continued in the regular
session, except at the south end. Nowhere,
however, did prices rise to Saturdays closing
rates 1t is stated by the parties controlling
Savage that there is no intention of causing
trouble in Hale and Norcross by a too sudden
stoppage of pumping. Time will be given the
latter to erect bulkheads between the two
mines, 'or if preferred, the Norcross people may
keep the pump running at their own expense

ELECTRICITY FRoh MACHINERY.-SiDcet the
Enterp,ise has given a description of how
electricity is generated by the machinery OF
the mines of the Comstock, the workmea at
at the " h T. Machine shops have been e1-
perimenting. Harry Rice, who runs the
Corliss engine, has found dead loads of
electricity in the big belt which runs over the
driving wheel 1t is over a foot wide and
runs at a high speed. Yesterday an APFEAL
reporter paid a visit to the spot and examined
the phenomenon. By holding the hand within
about four inches of the belt prick ling SEN
sation is observable and on nearing the belt
another inch slender lines of electric hre
play betw the belt and the finger ends.
These streams of light appear to be drawn
from the finger to the belt, but probably 60
the other way, as electricity always travels
from body overcharged with the fluid to
one which carries a less quantity. In the
night a blue halo mingled with white lines of
fire surrounds hand jheld under the belt, and
a cracking sound is heard. Two or three
hands held near the belt generate light enough
to read letter by. Mr.. Rice draws off the
electricity in Syden jar, and invites
callers to handle the same. One man was
80 shocked by discharge from the jar
that he staggered back against the wall
like one paralyzed. The apex of the jar
had been held under the belt about five
minutes in order to collect so much cleo
tricity Rice is making experiments and
thinks he can light the shops with the
electricity generated by the machinery.

REMEMBER rHR ORPHANS. that the
holidays are near at hand people should
not be too busily engaged in the selfish
pursuit of pleasure to forget the little
fatherless and motherless children at the
Orphans Home.
s'For them no more the blazing hearth shall burn,
Or busy housewife ply her evening care
True the fires burn and the evening care
is there, but no hearth burns so brightly
in a strange home and no evening care
brings such joy as when mothers aend
is busy Life can never possess the s9oys
Of home to these little orphaned creatures
and every man and woman who has known
what home is, should help contribute to the
pleasures which these little ones enjoy on
Christmas. None but an Unfortunately selfish
person will refuse to help these children at
the Home.

BAYoNETs AT THE POLLS.

In good time for effect upon the pending
questions in Congress, says the Baltimore
San of the goth ult., Senator Wallace's com,
mittee the successor of the abortive Teller
committee of the last Cougress) had before
it for examination yesterday Hon. T. j.
Mackey, circuit Judge in South Carolina.
Mr.. Mackey, it will be remembered, was
elected judge by the republicans, bu. in 1876
"changed his base" and has since acted with
the democrats. He testified that he sup
ported the Hayes and Hampton ticket, which
carried the State, but that his individual vote
was cast for the Tilden electors, upon the
specific ground, Endorsed upon his ballot, that
bayonets were brought to the polls to secure
the election of the Hayes electors. Judge
Mackey stated in his testimony that he was
present during the election in 1876 at the
polls in Chester; that he saw tho military
brought to the polls by the United States
deputy marshals, formed into. two lines in
the court house yard, and all voters COM
PEELED to pass between the bayoDets to vote
Upon complaint made to him the judge issued
a warrant directing the sheriff to arrest the
Lieutenant in command of the troops, where
upon the latter, to save himself from the dis.
grace of arrest, agreed to withdraw his men
from the immediate vicinity of the ballot
box, alleging at the same time that it had
been represented to him that the troops were
needed because riot was imminent. Judge
Mackey said that the only disturbances he
saw were caused by tho chief deputy United
States marshal and his assistants, all colored
persons, who, exhibiting a circular purport-
ing to be signed by Attorney General Taft.
held republican tickets. assaulted voters.
made arrests, and declared their object to be
to carry the election for the republicans
Their written instructions, the Judge said,
directed them to "stand by your party" and
they naturally obeyed orders from "head,
quarters"

- AT Niagara Falls, on Sunday afternoon,
May 25th, visitors were Mortified to see q
man in skif in the rapids above the falls.
He was rowing for all he was worth, but
suddenly his oar flew out of the rowlocks,
his head went down, and he lay at length in
the bottom of his boat The boat then turned
its prov down the stream and began to de-
scend the rapids of the American falls, its
pace growing more and swift, until fually it
struck rock about twoinches from the sur
face aud stopped, and began slowly to twist
and turn in the eddying current. A moment
later the boat struck another rock, parted in
twain, and the body of the man was flung
headlopg into the eddyiog maels,rom suck ed
under for moment, and then tossed to the
surface, just above the bridge which leads to
Goat Island. He threw his arms wildly into
the air, and those on the bridge saw for an
instant white and baggard face set in the
agony of despair, then he was again drawn
under aud did not reappear. The victim was
p" Walker, noted river guide, who had
been on spree.

SENATOR VANcE's SPEECH.


From the recent able speech of Senator
Vance, of North Carolina, ON the army APP
preparation bill. we take the following ex,
tracts
The Senator from Maine, [Mr. Blainel
gravely urges that it should not be repealed
because the great bulk of the Army is in the
distant West, only some few hundreds being
east Of the Rocky Mountains. He tells US
in the course of his enumeration that there
are only about thirty in the State of North
Carolina, and asks the Senators from that
State if they are afraid of that number OF
soldiers? Passing over the obvious fact that
within thirty days ten thousand could be sent
there if desired, answer that We do fear
them, because they represent the power of
the United States Government and the eu.
nifty of the republican party which yields
that power; we fear them as the Hollander
fears the first small leak in the dikes which
bear back the waves of the ocean from delug>
ing the meadows of his homestead we fear
them as the physician fears the first speck OF
gangrene in the system of his patient; we
fear them as the sailor fears the piling up Of
the storm clouds upon the horizon, knowing
that their deceptive beauty covers the fierce
desoation of the tempest; we fear them as
the hepherd of the mountain fears for his
lambs at even the fitting of shadow athwart
his path, for he knows it to be the shadow of
the eagle. the remorseiess tyrant of the air;
we fear them as Charlemagne feared the rude
wooden ships of the Morse Vikings on their
first appearance in the seas of his empire we
fear them all patriotic Romans feared the
crossing of the Rubicon by Caesar, the pas
sage of which with arms in his hand marked
him as the enemy oc Roman liberty.
Even so We fear and believe, that when
an American Executive crosses the Rubicon
of his constitutional powers and appears at
the place of choosing our rulers, armed either
with the sword or with illegal powers of ar
rest. he thereby proclaims himself the enemy
Of the liberties of our people.
