THE FIRE LAST NIGHT-About half past
six o'clock last evening while the family Of
Patrick Moran, workman employed in the
machine shops, were at supper, kerosene
lamp exploded and the table cloth which gu ch-
ly became saturated with the oil, burst into
blaze and the flames at once spread over the
house. An alarm was sounded and the fire
department was promptly on hand, but too
late to save the building, which was one
story hard finished house with FIVE room
situated on Thompson street, near Fifth
Avenue, near the machine shops The fam
lily barely had time to save their personal
effects. The loss is about 81 900.

PROFESSOR TAYLOR, ILLUsroNISr. The AP-
PEAL has received letter from Professor
Taylor, Ilusionist The following is an ex
tract: "It becomes my duty as gentleman
and an artist to demand of you by what au-
thority you dare publish such an Infamous
''libep' against one whom you do not know,
and who has never been IN your city pro
fessionsly) as you did in your Issue of the
9th inst And sir, all l have to say can
say in very few words, that is, proce yoar
statements or R1rRAcr" Professor Taylor
labors under an erroneous impression
in surprising that the writer does not know
him. If he has not appropriated the stsreo-
tved plate and name of the Professor Taylor
who humbuggsd the people of Virginia City
last Winter, then he il the same man. The
APPEAL prefers proving its statements to re-
tracing them. The columns of the paper are
open to Professor Taylor and so are the
courts if there has been any libel.

Carlton came across the following in a news

A INV DANCING SCBooL.-Messrs. Schu-
bert and LANCER viii open their dancing
academy in Corbstt's Hall, over Harris Bros
store, on next Friday night, December 19.
The advent of two such excellent musicians
and honorable men in this city as teachers of
the graceful art will be q profound satisfaction
to those of our citizens who wish to learn
dancing or who are desrsus of having their
children taught correct methods.
CHANGED HIS MIND. -Coddington, the
young man sentenced to 12O days for beating
a Chinaman, was last week anxious to take an
appeal from the decision of Justice Cary. The
bail was accordingly fixed at $500, which was
such an astonisher on the young man and his
friends tina. it WAS thought best to let the
finding of the lower court alone The young
man is now in Jail.

THE SOLID SILVER -'fhe reporter of the
Virginia Chronicle noticing that another as
sessment of $50 O00 had been levied on the
Solid Silver, went up Cedar ravine to inspect
the hosting works. A scene of busting &C
tivity presented itself He found no works,
no workmen and no shaft, only hole in the
side of the hill. The Virginia Enterr,, Use and
Gold Hill Netrs have reports Of the workings
in this " mine" every week, yet it is safe to
say that the reporters of those papers never
made the journey to the nnnuth of that grave
like tunnel nor shuddered at the sepucharal
stiffness which marks the base q operations
of the great Solid Silver Gold AND Silver
Mining Company. Cedar Hill is rich in gold
and silver lodges, and 1t is possible that some
thing may be found in the Solid Silver tun-
mel, but if anything ever is found there, it
will be done by management different from
the one which has endeavored during the past
few years to work the uane on Pine street IN
stead Of in Cedar ravine.

| Carlton was told that the whole thing was
hoax and that the feat impossible OF
accomplishment as the solution of perpetual
motion Carlton paid no attention to the
opinions of anyone regarding the matter, but
said he wonld never rest until he had &C.
complished the solution of the puzzle. He
lived at Wilson's ranch, about twelve miles
from Candelaria, and would spend hours
working at the puzzle, going over the lines
again and again, and often remaining up
until 0 clock in the morning at his thank
less task. His friends made every effort to
induce him to abondon his enervating work
but of no avail. His loss of sleep made him
weak and haggard and he lost flesh rapidly.
REASON TOPPING.
About two weeks ago he began to talk ia-
coherently, and sometimes pausing in his
| work he would make the lines with stick
upon the ground. 1t was quite evident that
his reason was slowly giving way under the
| terrible strain. His brother finally con-
| cuded to take him off on a hunting expedition
in order to d gert his mind He was in the
mountains several days and seemed to forget
all about the puzzle. One night his friends
were lying by the camp Ere when suddenly
Carlton starting from his sleep shouted, "Tve
got it boys, give me some paper and pencil
quick" Catching up stick he traced the
lines upon the ground and one of the party, |
Henry Lambert, a farm hand at Wilson's |
ranch, positively asserts that he actually |
solved the puzzle in tracing the lines; but |
the mans brother and another party who |
watched the tracing, scott at the idea.
CRAzRD AT LAST.
After tracing the lines Carlton shouted and
danced like madman, claiming that he was
entitled to the 20. 900 francs. He had to be
held by main force and the party sadly re-
traced their steps to Wilson's ranch. DR.
McMecan decided that the man was crazy and
the required certificate was given. The officer
and his man stopped at the Ormsby House
yesterday afternoon and an APPEAL reporter
visited the lunatic. he seems a man Of usual
but constantly claims that he has
won the 10000 francs and will sue for the
|
show him how to trace the lines. He shook {
bis head and said
" DON Know yea sir. If should show I
Tou how you would swindle me out of the re- '
ward" t
He afterward said that the officer had offer f
d him thousand dollars to shew him S
low it was done, bat guessed he was too sharp
or that. He seems quite rational all
ther subjects, and when his mind is diverted r
rom the puzzle chats quite pleasantly. When I
ne officer wishes to leave him alone he gives f
i'm pencil and piece of paper and he is
ure to find HIM working when he comes back. Il
.ast night the unfortunate man left for 81
tockton accompanied by the officer. This al
uzzls is one Of those things which have ne f.
olution and was started by some thoughtlsss g.
sragrapher merely joke. If this ever $:
,eets his eye he will realize to what extent st
is joke was carried and how seriously it re- la
llted. in
