A MINERS DEATH.
Carelessness for which No One Is 10
Blame.

The Eureka Sentinel describes the
manner in which miner was killed, as
follows:
CAT the change of the shifts, at half
past five o'clock ON Tuesday mornin5 :,
at the Richmond mine, Daniel Sullivan
lost his life in the following manner:
He was one of the second large load Of
men who were lowered to the 500-foot
level. The cage stopped about three
feet above the station level, when two
bells were given to lower the cage to
the station level, but no attention was
paid to the two bells rung. The men
on the cage began to get of, and four OF
the six men got off, and as Dan Sulh-
van, the fifth man, was in the act of
getting off, the engineer, with sudden
jerk, and with the speed of lightning,
hoisted the cage, with the sixth man on
it, to the surface, catching poor Sullivan
between the platform OF the cage and
the cribbing of the shaft, and pulled
his lifeless body up to the 400-foot sta
ton, where, in passing, his mangled
body was freed from the cage and
dropped down into the stump, at the
bottom of the shaft, distance of over
500 feet. Some 20 minutes afterwards,
or as soon as men could get to the bot
tom of the shaft, Sullivan was taken
out, shapeless mass of humanity. The
men at the station were just about to
get into the cage, and in q few seconds
more, instead of one victim, we might
have had four or five"
An inquest was held ON the remains,
and the Coroner's jury decided that no
one was to blaine for this terrible DEATH

WITHOUT A PROPHET.

1t appears that the Mormon Confer
ence, which has been in session at Salt
Lake this week, was not inspired by
revelation. The session closed without
electing Prophet to succeed Brigham
Young, and the Church is left under
the management of the Twelve Apos-
ties. The Mormons are therefore with
out visible head, and at this critical
period i'll their existence, when the Su-
preme Court of the United States has
decided the law prohibiting polygamy
constitutional, they have no Revelator to
instruct the Saints how to proceed
when arrested, as they ought to be, for
violating a law of Congress, and
practieing, under the guise of religion,
that which would not be tolerated in
any civilized community in the world
outside of Utah Territory

THE Public Administrator of Storey
county, d. f. Hodges by name, has
left for parts unknown. He appropri-
ated to his own use some s., 900 belong
ing to estates, and left his bondsmen to
make good the deficiency. Dissipation
is said to be the cause of his downfall.
He had, previous to his election, been
clerk for Tyrrell & Reese at their
foundry, and enjoyed the confidence of
bis employers.

The More murder trials at San
Buenaventura, California, have re-
suited, so far, in the conviction of one
prisoner on the testimony of Jesse
Jones, who is now held for perjury,
and the discharge of four prisoners.
This has been attained at cost to the
county of $4,000. 1t is probable that
the man convicted on the evidence of
Jones will be granted new trial, and
that Jones will be sent to the State
Prison for false swearing.

child. The gravity of that school was
disturbed for moment.

Death of Lily mcCnIIoch.

Little Lily McCulloch has gone to
live with the angels She ended
her brief life, of eleven years and a
few days, Oct. 3Oth, after an illness
of short time, God never loaned
to parents a sweeter child. She was
so amiable and gentle that she won
the love of teachers, school-mates,
and all with whom she came in
contact. Precious child, it is hard
to give you up. We wonder at Gods
ways, but they are all right. His
thoughts are not our thoughts,
and though we do not know why
little Lily, like the beautiful flow
er for which she was so fifty
named, has been so early trans
planted to the garden of Paradise,
yet her parents should feel grateful
that God gave them the privilege of
caring for and nursing the tender
flower eleven years. Her sweet,
gentle spirit will doubtless be "wait-
ing and watching" under the pearly
archways of the celestial city, to
beam glad welcome to the loved
ones at home.

TOBACco CIRCULAR.
Kendrick, Pettus a Co.
Central Warehouse.

Thanking our friends and the pub
| lie for their patronage the past sea-
son, we again offer our services
TO ALL WHO HAVE TOBACCO TO
SELL.
and earnestly solicit share of their
patronage, believing that, with our
many years experience and ac-
quaintanee with the trade, we can
offer advantages equal to any.
Commencing the season as we did
with heavy supluS of old stock at
the sea-board, and with a new crop
0878) of poorer quality, the past
year was not remunerative, except
to few planters who made fine
crops.
Still with all the complaint of low
prices, the entire crop offered on our
market has been sold at figures over
which the Spectator cannot realize
profit. This is really poor COM
fort, but misery loves company, as
illustrated by one of our "McAdcO"
friends, who, after fighting the fire
with all his might, which threat
ened to get into his fields, and fail
ing in his efforts to arrest the mad
fiend, quietly seated himself and
cried out: "Weil, thank God, if
my oat stacks do burn, Thos. Ru-
dolph's fodder stack will too.o
Withal, it is with pleasure and
confidence that we invite the atten-
ton of all to the steady activity and
strength maintained by the Clarks-
vile market throughout the entire
season, in comparison with other
western aud sea-board markets, a.
they have waned and struggled
through this trying year. In fact,
the peculiar advantages of our mar
ket become each year more widely
known and appreciated by planters
ana dealers, as is shown byO rap
idly increasing receipts. Situated,
as we are, conveniently, in the we'll
known district of "Clarksvilie To
bacco," anu with the river in COM
petition with the railroad to control
freights, and supported by our
board of resident capitalists, whose
long connection with the trade
brings TO them orders direct from
exporters and manufacturers suf-
ficient to take every hogshead in
the District at its full value, and
making us independent of timid
speculation. When there is a strong
speculative demand for Tobacco, as
in 1874 and during the war, at the
barn door is as good a place as any
to sell Tobacco, but when it comes
down to the legitimate demand, as
it is now, and full supply TO meet
that demand, the wise planter seeks,
of kith or kin, q suitable |
market for his produce, and such |
we offer him, with a prospect of |
larger and better demands than we |
have had for many seasons.
AS our crop is unfortunately this
year much mixed in quality from
the vicissitudeso of the seasons, food |
ing rains, ETC., we cannot impress
too emphatically upon our friends
the importance of extra care in as
sorting and pricing only the
uniform quality in one hogshead.
MIR. GEO. s. IRWIN,
who our friends have formerly
known as the efficient book-keeper
of this house, having purchased an
interest, now takes his place in our
business as a permanent partner,
and extending his thanks TO his
friends for past patronage, solicits
their continuance for the new firm.
Yours, very truly,

From Charlotte.
Idifors Chronicle.

Editors Chronicle:
This little burg, Charlotte, has
been illuminated by the presence of
two OF Montgomery's most accomp-
lished and attractive bellies, the past
week, to wit: Miss Mary c., of
GAINESVILLE, and Miss Mary r., of
the Southside. They flashed upon
us in the town, like meteors, only
for short time, but their presence
has the warm and genial influence
of the sunheams, not reflected but
radiated, imparting life and enjoy
ment to every circle which is hon.
oFed with their presence. Old and
young alike We'd with each other in
planning excursions, musical enter
tainments, etc., feeling while add
Ing to the pleasure of their visitors,
they were entertained and profited
themselves-that the benefits were
mutual. But, alas for some of the
young men! We fear the wings of
their aspiring hopes have borne
them too near these radiant girls,
and that they will realize the fall of
many a gallant beau in Montgome-
ry. Yet we admire their Judge
ment and commend the very good
taste they display, and think with
the poet,
"It is better to have loved and lost
Than never TO have loved at ALL"
The crops must receive a passing
notice. Corn is fine in some sections
of the country, and, with the very
excellent wheat crop, there will be
enough for man and beast. The
tobacco is generally of good body,
and leaf sufficiently large for stem
ming, except some few crops raised
by farmers who still think all that
is requisite in the plant, is length of
leaf. To such let me say a word:
All narrow leaf tobaccos raised in
this section are used for filters, and
used for the same purposes as
Tugs. The buyer ought not and
cannot pay more than the price of
good Tugs for such crops. 1t has
big stems and course fibers, and the
loss is so heavy that the stemmers
cannot afford to buy it, except at
reduced price. We regret so much
of this long, narrow leaf tobacco,
such as the varieties known as deer
tongue, shoe string, lady finger,
little hutson, etc, is raised in Dick

Those who have any intention of
dying shortly, will do well to study
Mr.. Hodgsnn's advertisement rela-
tive to marble and granite monu-
ments; and those who want to see
how he can carry out his promises
need only visit Greenwood cemete-
~ and see the splendid monument
to tine late H. Dunlap, in gray mar
BILE. Many people think it is worth
while dying to have ones memory
so handsomely perpetuated; but
they can't fool us, we have no in
tention of dying before the end of
the present century, though they
should promise us a monument of
rerde antique and Iupis Iaz,tIi. Tastes
differ however, and there are plenty
of men in GAINESVILLE who would
do well to die and get the fact hand
someIy certified to by Hodgson in
fine carraVa marble.

The GAINESVILLE people will pat
ronize the burnt-cork opera better
than anything else, and now they
have their chance for a first-class
troupe of that denomination That
of Barlow, Wilson, Primrose &
West is to perform here on Tuesday
night. At least such are the testi-
mOnials we get from the Northern
press, which praises them enthusi-
astically. Ten end men, any num-
Der of quartette singers, clog dane
ers, fiddlers, and an inexhaustible
array of specialists of every species.
We shall at last find out how many
people Elders Hall will hold, when
crammed to its utmost capacity.
By far the largest house Of the
season welcomed the Wilson, Bar
low, Primrose & West minstrel
troupe at Music Hall last night.
The orchestra programme was
above the average, and the whole
performance was varied enough to
please any taste. The really choice
of the evening was the singing of
the Queen City quartette. Their
rendition Of Remember now thy
Creator" was excellent, and their
waltz songs were rendered with a
nicely and effect that is seldom
seen.-NelC Hdren Palladium.

Vests Ministries gave one of their
inimitable entertainments at Music
Hall last evening, producing a show
of uncommon merit and interest,
well repaying patrons, as frequently
attested by unbOunded demOnstra-

The whole entertainment was
highly enjoyed and this cOmbina-
tiOn of talent will be heartily well
coined to the city again.-Ne,o H0-
