THE ABEL's RELIEF BILL.

duced a bill for the relief of j. F. Abel.
We have not seen copy of the bill, and
40 not know the amountasked for. The
Bill Is for the purpose of remunerating
Mr.. Abel for labor and money expended
IN building n road in Paradise Valley in
1868. Mr.. Abel Was Road Supervisor
Of Paradise Road District, aud as was
subsequently, shown before the Board of
County Commissioners, composed at
the time Of Robert McBeth. Thomas

road and bridged one ormore streams
The Commissioners acknowledged the
justice of his claim for remuneration
for services rendered. but refused to al

late General Harris. giving it as his
opinion that the Board had no author.

MR. YERRINGrON UNDER FIaE.

The Virginia Chronicle, which it APP
pears is not owned by the Virginia and
Truckee Railroad Company. reports
the proceedings at a meeting of the
Legislative Joint Committee of Four
teen. held at Carson few days ago.
Mr.. Yerrington. Superintendent of the
v. IL I. Railroad, was before the Com.
mittee and subjected to rigid examine
ton by Judge Lewis. who has been en-.
gagged as counsel by the merchants OF
Virginia City. Mr.. Yerrington, in his
sworn statement of the first cost of the
road, and its net earnings in 1885,,
placed the cost at 81. S35, 200 Is aud the
net earnings last year at $726, O92 As !.
but when Judge Lewis asked him on
the witness stand if the first cost ofthe
road was not 81. 900. 900 Mr.. Yerrington
replied that he did not know. Judge
Lewis asked several pertinent questions
relative tothe road which Mr.. Yerring-
ton declined to answer. Judge Lewis,
addressing Mr.. Yerrington. said. "We
can prove to you that you have made
$3.50, 900 per year on An average for
four or Eve years; that the road was
given to the company; that it did not
cost the company one cent?. and that
your road charges higher than any
other road in the world. It will be
remembered that Storey aud Ormsby
counties gave several hundred thous-
and dollars in bonds.to the Virginia and
Truckee Railroad Company, which.
with the amount of railroad bonds sold
by the company. was sufficient to pay
for constructing the road, hence, as
stated by Judge Lewis. the road did
not cost the company cent It was
also shown before the Committee that
the company redeemed 800. 900 worth
OF their bonds last year. making the net
earnings of the road $S25,0O0 instead
Of $725.000, as sworn to by Mr.. YER
rington 10 his statement to the Secre-
tary of State. 1t was also shown that
the sworn statement of the value of the
road made by Mr.. Yerrington to county
assessors does not place it's value above
enc million dollars. and it is believed
that sn examination of the assessment
rolls in the several counties through
which the road runs will show that the
company does not pay taxes on more
than the actual net earnings of the
sosd.
The examination of Mr.. Yerrington
by Judge Lewis before the Legislative
COMMITTEE of Fourteen is sufficient to
convince every body but the Committee
that reasonable reduction of fares and
Sreights on the Virginia and Truckee
Railroad should be made by the Legis
lature, and that the statement sub.
mitted to the Secretary of State by the
Company is fully as crooked as the
line of the road.

ON Saturday morning, December 9th 1879,
MRS. MARY A. JONES, the beloved wife of
Andrew I JONFS

JONES-Died, at Pea Ridge, in this county,
on Saturday morning, December 9th 1879,
ANDREW ]. JONES.
The light and joy Of a once happy house
hold has been summoned by her Father
home, leaving mourning and sorrow here,
but meeting joy and happiness, as Angels
greet her with bright smiles of welcome to
that fair and beautiful land.
And whilst loving friends mourn in an
guish and sorrow here on earth, joy and
gladness reigns above, as another pure and
gentle spirit enters the portlas of her bright
and happy home within the realms of God
Another jewel, loaned only for few short
years to bless its transient earthly home, has
been recalled to take its place with others
OF its kind upon the priceless tiara that en-
circles the holy diadem of God.
And thus, another star appears in the
bright armament above, whose pure and
beautiful light must ever be q beacon OF
purity and faith to those loved ones who
now mourn its loss to earth, as they permit
its calm and holy rays to guide them into
paths of peace, and a reunion, where part
ing will be no move forever, within our
Fathers home.
In the prime OF womanhood our beloved
sister, and friend, Mrs. MARY A. JONES, has
been taken from those she loved on earth,
to those she loved in Heaven, leaving
mourning and sorrow here, to meet joy and
happiness where mourning and sorrow can
never dwell within the pure realms of God.
As a true and humble Christian, faithful
and loving wife, q mother affectionate and
kind, beloved by all who knew her well.
Most noDly she performed Woman's Mission
ON Earth.
And whilst we tender to that kind old
father, and mother, that true and noble
husband, and dear little children, our deep
heartfelt sympathy, we can only refer them
for consolation to that sweet and holy
thought, that should ever be q balm to all
christian hearts, when loved ones so pure |
and good, are called by their Father home. |
Then mourn not thy loved one whose spirit |
doth live.
In the sweet heaven of rest that Jesus doth |
give.
To the good and the true. whose lives hath
been given.
To him, and the Father, who dwelleth in /

Bates; each feet III inches high;
he 81, she % years of age; combined
weight one half ton. Now for the
first time on exhibition in this cOun-
try. Just from England, where
Royalty presented his compliments
i'm the shape of watches and jewelry,
as presents from Queen Victoria.
Both symmetrical in form, fine
features, and undoubtedly great
curiosities. The advertisement goes
into particulars, and alludcs to Oth-
er descriptions to be found in the
bills and publications. All should
bear in mind the fact of the giants
being exhibited in the main or large
tent as well as the circus and mena-
gerie. No extra charge to see the
giants.
The establishment is favorably
known here, but has been greatly
enlarged; has herds of camels and
elephants to draw its mammoth
wagons; travels two bands, also a
steam band; has a troupe of trained
horses, who perform altogether at
one and the same time in the ring;
has leaping horses, riding monkeys,
riding goats, performing deer; has
two ponies that perform the see-saw
feat, has a man who cOnfronts a
loaded cannon, it is discharged! and
he catches the ball! but with his
hands-not his body; has another
wonderful fellow, a modern Shadrac,
"who is cast in the fiery furnace,
yet remains unframed" walks
through fire, the intense heat bakes
a fowl by his side, but does him no
harm. Truly, wonders never cease.
Has a mammoth circus company,
travels its own railroad cars and
but read the bills and pamphlets,
and remember the date, Saturday
J December 18th.
