A MANS HAND INJURED.
An Engineer Caught In the Ma
,chinery OF the Excelsior Mill.

C. N. Fox, Of Dayton, met with a
serious accident, at the Excelsior
mill, last Thursday morning. While
oiling the pitman of the engine, the
sleeve of his jumper was caught,
and his right hand drawn into the
machinery. The flesh was torn off
the back of the hand, from the wrist
to the knuckles, and on the inside
from the palm to the finger,joint. He
was taken homo to Dayton, where
his hand was dressed at once, and he
ceased to complain of pain. On the
way to Dayton the pain was SO in
tense that he was craxed, and rolled
about the vehicle from side to side,
as if about to jump out. He will
probably not be crippled, but will
hardly be able to resume work for a
month or two. Mr.. Fox has been
employed At the Excelsior mill many
years, and has never before met with
q serious accident.

A PIUTE CHIEFS FAREWELL.
He ExhOrts His Tribe to Remain
Friendly with the Whites.

Winnemucca, the head chief of
the Piutes, was in town yesterday
and the day before, on a visit to the
Indians 10 this vicinity. He is a
hale-looking man, and quite alert,
although over rs years old. His skin
is copper-colored, and shines as a
looking-glass. He was arrayed in a
major generals uniform, minus the
epaulets, aud be walked very erect and
dignified. He speaks few words of
English, but does not understand the
language very well. In reply to
reporters question as to the length of
his stay among us, he answered, "a
long while ago" The Indians with
him, however, could speak intelli.
gibly, and said that the big chief,
feeling his end drawing near, was
paying parting visit to his subjects,
and exhorting them to remain friend
ly with the whites, when he was
gathered to his fathers, out of respect
for his memory.

THE COUNTY TAXES.
A Cursory Glance ut the Assess.
ment kOll-Where Property Has
Deprecated in Value.

The assessment roll of this county
for the current year has been turned
over to Clerk Dallas. It is not
"footed up" and the total amount of
tax levied is therefore unknown, but
q cursory glance reveals the fact that,
in some Of the precincts, property
has greatly deprecated in cash
value. This is especially noticeable
with regard to Silver property; the
depreciation here must be fully 25
per cent; in Sutro there is an in
crease in the total valuation, but ln-
dividual owners do not appear to be
taxed any more than last year. The
amount received on account of the
poll tax is nearly double that of last
year. This is owing to the rush at
Sutro during the months Of April
and May. Next year the real and
personal property tax accounts will
probably show an increase over the
valuation this year, while the poll
tax account will show a material de.
crease.

A LOSS OF $3.50 A MONTH.
The Result Of q Disagreement Be
tween Two Public OfYicials.

,CWocA Two PUBLIC OMC10IG.
1t is stated in this city that, in
consequence of disagreement be-
tween the Auditor and School Super
intendent of Storey county, the
formers perquisites have been re.
duced by from 800 to $50 month.
1t appears that heretofore a separate
warrant has been drawn in favor of
each teacher or other person having
a claim against the school fund. For
drawing each of these warrants the
Auditor charged the usual fee. But
since the disagreem emit referred to the
bills have all -heea collected, and a
single warran esrcd drawn. The
Auditor has t61s been deprived of an
important source of revenue.
-FOUR informant must be mistaken,
as the Revised Statutes expressly
forbid the County Auditor from
charging anything for drawing war
rants against the school fund. The
statement is published, however, be-
cause it may be that this abuse Of
abuse there beg has existed for years,
and in that case the subject will we'll
repay thorough investigation.-ED.

introduced and many others We're referred.

powers OF the Special Committee on the
State Debt. This created quite ripple. The
debate was on the question OF reference.

for bill prohibiting any other military body

clares that III this law ID passed they will turn

Canada Is troubled with threatened case
of secession. The province OF British Colum
bia, which was admitted into the Dominion
of Canada when the various British provinces
OF North America we're unised into one gov
eminent, is exceedingly anxious to break
these bonds then formed and set up as an In
dependent government for itself. British
Columbia has one representative In the Cana
dian Parliament, who annually offers q reso-
luton allowing the people he represents TO
secede, but as his resolution has never Sc
cured second, it amounts to nothing. A
very violent agitation, however, seems to
have grown up in Columbia Of late, and the
people Of that province now declare emphat-
icaDy that unless their terms-the building
of Canadian Pacific Railroad-are agreed
to- they will throw off the British and Cana
dian rule and join the United States. Anotice
to this effect has been adopted by the Column
bian Council and cabled to London. These
Pacific coasters seem to be natural rebels.
1t was only the other day that California
talked of secession; and now comes It's neigh
Dor Columbia with a similar threat.

Taking political censuses Is now q popular
form Of newspaper amusement. The Cincin-
natl Enquirer has interviewed several thou
sand prominent Republicans OF Ohio on their
choice for Governor In the fall eleetion, when
the Buckeye State hopes to win for itself the
honor and distinction Of being a pivotal
State" The hguirer's interview shows that
Garfield can easily secure the Republican
nomination for Governor, If no desires it.
Taft is second on the list, and Charles Foster
third; the other candidates mentioned are
men of merely local reputation. On the
presidential question, the Ohio Republicans
seem somewhat evenly divided between
Grant and war and Sherman and resum ptioD
as their candidates and issues In 1880.

deeply impressed with the solemn RESPONSE
bilities resting upon them, and that calmness,
firmness and wisdom will mark their course.
Never before In the history Of this State has
such large body Of men assembled and or
ganized with such order and business like
promptitude.
Unlike Legislature which finds estab-
lished landmarks approved by former similar
bodies, the Convention required special and
more comprehensive organization In order
to grasp and expedite the important labor in
cident to remodeling the organic law.
1t is In every way creditable that the Con-
vention was organized over one hundred
ordinances, resolutions and motions in
troduced and referred, and the gen
eral work of the Convention commenced
within four days; that comprehensive rules
OF order were adopted, full committees pre-
pared and all the important machinery apper-
tanning to SO large body set in full motion
within six working days, without an angry
word of debate.
The most difficult and important duty i'm
posed upon the President of the Convention
In the formation OF the committees seems
from common report to have been discharged
with marked satisfaction to the members Of
the Convention generally and to the public at
| large; the selections evincing ability to rise
| above sectional, partisan and personal con-
| siderations. SO much SO is this the case that
| In the composition OF thirty committees we
have yet to hear word of complaint as to
the manner Of their formation. All Of these
committees. large and small, were. appointed
by the presiding officer, except the Commit
tee upon Investigation Of the State Debt,
which Is composed OF members recommended
by the delegates Of the respective congress
sional districts.
| Now that the Convention has fully settled
down to the work before them, our citizens
would do well to visit the hall, and mark the
contrast between this body Of intelligent
dlgnifed men, SO earnestly and patiently
devoting themselves to every detail witt
method and decorum, and the last two bodies
Of the kind which assembled In our State.
The issues are no less momentous, the feel
ing no less intense, upon the main questions
presented for consideration; but the friction
Of partisan contest and sense of common
peril seem to have moderated the old-tim'
ascerbity of political opponents and leav'
no room for the exhibition OF personal or loca
prejudice.
4 To their credit be 1t said the Republican
minority. represented by Its ablest parliamen
tarians and shrewdest leaders, have discoun
tenanced the boisterous and disgraceful con
duct which for SO many years brought re
proach upon their party.
No fair minded man can look into the earn
est faces Of the delegates In this Convention
and mark their faithful attendance each da.
and not pass from the hall feeling that
brighter future Is on the eve Of opening to tn
struggling people CT this State; that prudence
wisdom and honesty has again assumed 1T
sway, and through this medium the peopl
may expect the blessings OF a simple, econ
Omicat and efficient form of government.
