FRIGHrFUL ACCIDENT.
Two Men Caught by Rolling
BOwlder -0ne Instantly Killed,
and the Other Fatally Injured.

Tom Wogan, of this city, was SO
seriously injured, at the Mammoth
mine, in Lake District, last Sunday,
that he died short time after. Wo-
gan and fellow miner were sitting
on the surface near the entrance to
the tunnel on the $50 level of the
Mammoth, eating their lunch, when
a bowlder weighing several tons
rolled down from the groupings
with frightful velocity, and caught
them before they were aware
of their danger. The unknown man
was instantly killed, and Wogan
sustained fracture of the base of
the skull, with serious liberation
of tho brain, about three ounces of
matter exuding from the right ear
in less than five minutes after the
accident. Messengers were at once
dispatched to Bode for physicians,
but Wogan died before any could
reach him. He leaves Il wife and
five children who still reside in this
city, Mrs. Wogan keeping the lodg-
ings known as the Mansion House,
near Mullard's. The bowlder is sup
posed to have become loose by the
thaWing OF the snow surrounding 1t.

THE PLAGUE AT ORR DOORS.
Millions of Ora shoppers Within
Three Miles of Silver City.

A teamster who came into Dayton
from Palmyra District, last Monday,
reported that the valley on the east
ern side of the Carson, from Dayton
to the foothills, swarmed with grass
hoppers in various stages of devel-
opment. They are seen in layers
from one to three inches thick, with
open spaces OF twenty or thirty
yards between layers, and so numer-
Gus that hundred or more can be
killed at a step. The ranchers at
New Jerusalem dread the damage
which these insects will do TO their
crops, and propose to gather what
produce they can before the grass
hoppers begin their march down
the valley, toward the Big Bend of
the Carson. The pests will start out
In couple of weeks, at furthcst.
This will be first visitation of this
plague to this part of the State since
the settlement of this county by the
whites. In past years a few grass
hoppers were seen here and there
throughout the valley, but they
were not sufficiently numerous to
cause any alarm. IL they start down
the river, as they are expected to,
they will do an enormous amount
of damage, as hardly ranch will
escape their notice, and they never
leave anything worth mentioning.
If, however, they go in the direction
OF Como they will not do much
damage, as there are no ranches
in that section.

The Butt.Enders' Ball.

There was a perfect jam at the
ball of Liberty Volunteer Hose Com
pany No l, in the Miners Union
Hall, Gold Hill, last Wednesday
evening. The Liberty boys made n
hne appearance IN their uniform,
composed of blue shirts with red
fronts, and black pantaloons tight
'ened with bright belts, and were
very conspicuously careful of the
comfort of their guests. The ball
was decorated with banners, stream
ers, garlands, trumpets and other
trophies. The occasion will be long
remembered by all so fortunate as
to have attended it.

AN INDIAN SHOCKED.
A Prefer of " Fire Water" Which
Proved to be Real Lightning.

Indian George was given an ex-
ample of the power of electricity,
the other day, which he did not ap-
preciate. In Becker's saloon, in this
city, the ground wire of the tele-
graph Office is connected with the
faucet, but the end of the wire is
loose, and it has been the common
practice of the habitues of the place
to hang the tin cup upon it, as it is
thus in plain view of anybody who
wants drink. Last "Wednesday,
some boys who knew of Georges
fondness for it, offered him some
fire water" but made it condition
of the gift that he should mix water
with the whisky in the cup. This he
agreed to, whereupon he stepped to
the hydrant. As he did so the tele-
graph operator switched on the
ground wire, and thus established a
circuit between it and the battery.
As the Indian turned on the water he
received an electric shock which
made him jump TO the ceiling, and
he started on run down the street
yelling as if somebody were attempt
ing to murder him. A crowd soon
collected, to whom the Indian ex-
planned that the telegraph operator
and one of the TIMES com positors
had attempted to poison him; the
matter was looked into, and the re-
suit was a hearty laugh at the poor
Indians expense. He has since re-
jected with scorn all offers of fire
| water"

A COUSIN OF A FAMED &C.
TRESS.
Elias Lipsis, the Suicide, n Former
Resident Of Dayton and Silver.


Elias Lipsis, the stage manager
who committed suicide in San Fran
cisco, the other day, in presence of
his wife, was a cousin of Adah Isaacs
Menken- Heenan, the famed actress,
with whom he travelled tor four or
five years. In 1867 ne left Miss
Menken in California and came to
this city as clerk for Adler & Co.
From here he drifted to Dayton, and
bought halt.interest in the bar of
Cross's, the leading hotel of Dayton
at that time. While there Miss
Menken came to visit him and tried
to induce him to travel with her,
but he was obdurate and finally
ordered her away. In 1865 he mar
ried his present wife. who was then
a waitress at the Golden Hotel, Day
ton, and known as Miss Carrie
Mitchell. LIpsis was then looked
upon as a very honorable and chiv.
alrous young man, of fair ability,
but exceedingly sensitive.

A GRATIFYING SUCCESS.
The Catholic Church Festival Last
Thursday Evening.

The festival given in the Miners
Union Hall, in this city, last Thurs
day evening, for the benefit of the
Catholic Church, was gratifying
success. The spacious room was
we'll filled, and Virginia and Gold
Hill were literally represented.
Dancing was begun early in the
evening, and was kept up until late
hour. The intervals between dances
were acceptably filled up with sing
ing. The gem Of the evening, how
ever, was the duet, "Whispering
Hope" by Mrs. Rourke and Mrs.
Hornick. On beng heartily encored,
they sang Farewell" in their most
pleasing style. The refreshment of
the thirsty and hungry was we'll pro-
vided for. Mrs. Connors presided
over the punch bowl. The lemonade
table was engineered by the Misses
Eugenia Geyer and Annie Cahill.
Miss Nellie French was kept busy
handing out strawberries and cream.
At the ice cream table Mrs. French
did a land office business. Miss
Lucy Geyer made very pretty flower
girl. Mrs. Hornick disposed of an
elegantly dressed doll and a hand
some toilet set, by rattle. The first
was Won by Peter Gross and the lat
ter by Miss Annie Cahill. At twelve
O'Clock a splendid supper was served
under the supervision of Mrs. Con
nors, Mrs. Martin and Mrs. Brown.
The affair was hugely enjoyed by all
who participated, and the amount
realized quite satisfactory.

THE AHL-HENLEY UNION.
Not an Unexpected Occurrence
How the Groom Once Saved the
Brides Life,

The marriage of Charles l.. Ali, of
Dayton, to Miss Emma j. Henley, of
Virginia, did not surprise any Of
their acquaintances. Both of the
parties to this union were reared in
Dayton, and have been intimately
acquainted from very tender age.
About three years ago, while boating
on the lake at Sutro, in company
with Miss Emma Ali (since become
Mrs. al. Reynolds and a gentleman
from California who shall be nameless,
the boat upset, and the nameless gal
liant Immediately swan TO the shore
leaving the Misses Henley and Ali
struggling ia the water with Charley
ALL. The latter. with rare presence
of mind, luckily succeeded in hold
ing The boat with one hand, while
with the other he caught hold of his
drowning sister and assisted her on
to the boat. He then swan toward
Miss Henley, and caught her by the
back of the neck just as she reap
peared for the third and last time,
and also got her ON the boat, which
he then pushed toward the shore,
where all three landed exhausted.
Since that day the event which oc-
Cured last Sunday has been expected.
The young couple will reside in Vir-
gnia, and start ont in life with the
hearty goodwill of all who know
them.

An UNFOUNDED REPORT.
Captain Kelly Says that He is
Running Mine, aud Not a
clearinghouse.

DV"i VIZ : -tEobrts
The report having been circulated
in Virginia, during the past week,
that the miners employed in
the Lady Bryan, North Bonanza,
Flow cry, and other mines in Flowery
district, were compelled to board at
certain houses designated by the
Superintendent, TINES reporter
interviewd Captain Kelly, Superin-
tendent Of the Lady Bryan, last
Wednesday, to ascertain the facts.
Captain Kelly said it was true that
many of the miners Of the Lady
Bryan boarded at one house, but that
was because of the lack of other &C
commodations, and there was no COM
pulsion whatever about it. If the
miners boarding there wished to
they were at liberty to leave and
20 and live in tunnel, or in tents,
and do their own cooking, or board
in the Canyon. In fact, for all he
cared, they need not eat at all, if
they did not wish to. He was run
ming a mine, not a boarding house.
With regard to the other mines
named he could not speak positive
ly, as he had given the subject no
attention whatever, but he did not
believe that there was any coercion.

Railroad Ethics.

There ls no relation Of life in which
tho natural scltishncss of man comes
out so strongly as in travelling. Pco-
pie who, when at home or among their
friends, arc not only polite, consider
ate of the comfort of others, but even
selt-sacriticing in tribes, often become
grasping, repellant, morosc, when they
get on railway train to 60 travelling.
Too often they seek their own comfort
to the disregard of the rights of others.
A man will enter train and take a
whole seat and so arrange his baggage
rs to cover the whole of it, so as to
keep any one else from occupying a
part Of it. lie only pays for ono seat
and he knows perfectly well that he has
no rlghtto occupy two and yet he does
so frequently until he is forced to yield
and then he does so with IS bad grace
as possible. 1t matters not that other
men may be standing up in the cars,
ne rarely has the grace to invite one of
them to sit by him. He sits and looks
as forbiddlng as possible or turns his
back and gazcs out of the window, so
as TO prevent If possible anyone from
requesting him for seat beside him.
The Ladies' arc in this respect no better
than the men. and they are more per-
fectly masters of the situation. She Is
protected by her sex in her selnshness
and her disregard Of the the comfort of
her sisters. A gentleman does not like
to ask her for seat, though he has a
perfect right to do so. Even another
lady Is at disadvantage in asking her
for q seat. A cold, naughty insolent
manner, and an lntrenchcd air of pos
session usually enables her to hold her
double seat against all comers. The
politeness OF men to women rarely fails
In America, and it is no unusual thing
Tor two gentlemen to rise to give lady
a whole double seat because another
lady fails to offer her q seat. Now In
this case each lady secures her double
seat at the price OF the discomfort of
two fellow travellers. When it a man
VINO behaves thus the remedy Is COM
paratively simple. There Is even sort
OF pleasure In applying IT.. The mos
senger who on entering the car finds
all the double seats occupied by men
who refuse to make room for him is
often tempted to pick out the most OK
elusive looking Of them and 90 up
coolly and buslness-like, tell him to
make room and then sit down by him
mas roomy and spacious a style as pos
sible, and then hum or whistle some
slow plaintive air-kind o. sad like.
This inflicts agonies upon the exclusive
traveller and gives to the newcomer
thatcalm inward repose which comes
from the infliction Of righteous pun
ishment. Yet how much better II
would be for the ladies to mako place
for their fellow female travellers and to
exchange the little courtesiea that
brighten the journey how much better
1t wonld be for the mon to promptly
make room for the newcomers and get
into friendly chat by the way. rms
selfish exclusiveness In travelling does
not pay. One doesn' It get the most out
Of the voyage In that way.
