AN OUTRAGE ON THE TOLL.
ROAD.

The Gate and Keepers House De.
molished by the Owner -Shock.
Ing Brutality Of the Wreckers-
Cause Of the Trouble.
Mr.. Holmes, the owner of the toll
road between Dayton aud Mason
Valley, was arrested in Virginia,
last Thursday, and brought to the
Dayton Jail, on charges of malicious
mischief and assault and battery,
preferred by William Cummings,
toll-gate keeper. 1t appears that,
about II O'Clock on Wednesday morn.
ing, Mr.. Cummings being absent,
Mr.. Holmes came to the toll-gate
with four men, who began demol-
ishing the toll-gate and tearing down
the keepers house. Mrs. Cummings,
who was alone in the house with
her two children boy about eight
years old, and girl Of twelve--ex-
postulated, but to no effect. She
thereupon seized double-barreled
shotgun, but Mr.. Holmes caught
hold of it, so she could not use it,
and, catching her by the right arm
and shoulder, dragged her out of the
house, tearing off her dress in so
doing. The children, who we're
crying for help, were also put out OF
the house-the girl being lifted out
by the hair of her head-and the
men we're ordered by Mr.. Holmes
to kill the damned brats right there,
If they don't keep out of the way."
The place having been totally wreck
ed, Holmes and his accomplices
returned to Virginia. 55
Holiness toll-road has been used
for about three years. Graded in
most part by money contributed by
business men of Dayton and Silver,
who hoped thereby to secure por-
ton of the Aurora and Bodie trade,
1t has never paid any income on the
first cost. Sometime ago, Mr..
Holmes borrowed money from James
Cummings, Of Virginia, giving
mortgage on the road as security,
Cummings to collect toll until the
mortgage was raised. A few months
ago Mr.. Holmes claimed that the
mortgage had been paid up, and de-
mandcd possession Of the road, but
was refused. He thereupon advised
the ranchers of Mason Valley to re-
fuse to pay toll, which they did, un-
till Cummings began suit against
them to recover. Mr.. Holmes there
upon resolved upon the course Of ac-
ton recited above. E

THE STATE FAIR A SUCCESS.
The Receipts At Least Equal to
the Expenses-The Company
Medal.

Hon. c. C. Stevenson, President
of the Nevada State Agricultural,
Mining and Mechanical Society,
dropped into the TIMES office yes
terday morning, on his way to Car
son. He said that the fair had been
somewhat more successful than last
ycar--notwithstanding the unfavor-
able weather--that the printers had
all been paid, and the incoming re-
ceipts would pay all expenses and,
probably, leave a small balance be-
sides. The comparative success of
this years fair has encouraged the So
ciety, aud next year they will doubt
less be able to offer greater induce
ments to exhibitors and to owners
of fast horses. The medal awarded
to the best-drilled military company
was won by the Carson Guard, and
the following inscription has been
engraved on the reverse: Awarded
at the Nevada State Fair. Oct. 10th,
1870, to Carson Guard, for the best
drilled military company. Present.

THE LUsITANIANs.

Since 1s48, the year Of its organization, the
Lustanian Portuguese Benevolent Associa-
tion has lived an unbroken life, sowing in It's
career innumerable charities and bestowing
aid and comfort wherever the call of the
afflicted or helpless made itself heard. Thirty
one years OF continued association for pur-
poses of mutual aid and benevolence Is a proud
record indeed, and no doubt every one of the
members of this numerous organization who
turned out yesterday to celebrate the thirty
that feeling OF pride which the consciousness
of having done well will provoke in the bosom
Of man.
1t was brilliant parade, enlivened by two
splendid bands OF music and the display of
superb flags, some OF the very finest In the
nations. The march was marked by de-
lightful occurrence--the presentation of an
exquisite banner and q wreath to the associa-
tion by Miss Mannelita Trigo, at the resi-
dence OF her father, on Old Levee street, be-
tween Barracks and Hospital. The offering
was made In q handsome speech by Miss
Trigo, who was elected godmother, and it de-
volved upon DR.. j. G. Castellanos (who. though
young man, Is veteran member of the as
socation) to receive the splendid gift In be-
half Of the Lusitanians. The speech OF DIR.
Casuellanos was made In graceful and touch
noted.
The ceremonies of the day ended at the hall
Of the association, on Bayou Road, between
st. Claude and IRENE, bYa grand banquet,
and to which numerous guests had been in
vited. An hour or more was employed in
first-class n,aStre de ca. sine, after which an
other hour was spent In drinking toasts dur
ing which the press OF New Orleans was
kindly remembered.

serves to make Fatlnitza acceptable. Having

A Frightful story from the Pae

A Frightful story from the Pacific.
Capt. Sands reports a frightful story from
ST. Lawrence Island, In the Behring sea. Al
most the entire population Of the Southeast
ern end OF the island has peEished OF starya-
tion.
A party landed from the Collins and were
Mortified to find $50 cOrpses In one field The
living had carried the dead away from the
huts until at length, overcome themselves,
they in turn died In the huts, and so oremained.
Everywhere the scene was frightful. One
little girl the captain speaks Of seeing stiff In
death, with her head resting on her hand
while the body leaned over the remains OF g
whale.
Mr.. Sands attributes the starvation to rum.
Nearly every trader" goes to- the Arctic
the natives will not go fsning. Then 1t is too.
late, and starvation follows. On the north
west end of the island about 200 natives are
still alive. He says that revenue steam-cut-
ters are OF no use to stop this traffic. Ihe
| "traders" see the smoke and get out OF the
way, or get rid OF the eontraband liquors be-
fore they can be reached. A sailing vessel OF
hundred tons, he says, could end the traffic.
The following sites have been proposed for
New Y0rk's world fair: East river and
Nlnetieth street; Manhattan Square; Eighth
| Avenue and Seventy street: the East
Side lands in Brooklyn adjoining Prospect
| Park; the "long meadow" In Prospect Park
| Washington Heights; Avenue A and Sixty
| fourth street; Central Park; Harlem flats.
| InWood; Fifth to Eighth Avenue, between
One Hundred and Tenth and One Hundred
and Twenty-second streets; Morningside and
Riverside Parks, and Port Morris.
