A BOLD ROBBERY,
Or . 0ood STORY or One Committed
ny word or Mouth.

Robbsriss are getting to be frequent,
and to some Of them suspicious circum.
stances attach. The following Is n Of
that class:
About / o'clock yesterday morning
the residence OF John Il. Martin, No.
IA South Howard street, was entered by
two daring burglars. who succeeded in
securing as plumber $500 in coin and
half a dozen silver knives and forks.
Mr.. Martin IL q miner in the Ophir
and was in the mine at the time
Of the robbery. Mrs. Martin was
awakened by a light which the
burglars were using. When she awoke
one Of the men put q pistol to her head
and said: "If you make any noise you
are O dead woman" The other man
then opened q trunk that was in the
same room and took out the money and
the cutlery. The robbers were not
masked. One was o large and tall man
with o full beard. and the other was
quite o small man with o smooth face.
The pair seemed to know Of the money
being in the house and also to know
where il was kept. As nothing in the
house except the trunk was disturbed, It
is thought that the robbers were we'll
posted persons living in the nsiahbor-
hood.
The foregoing Is the story Of the par
ties. The fact, however. that nothing
was known Of the robbery BY the Chief
of Police Of Virginia, tho Captain. or
n OF the officers. till 4:30 yesterday
afternoon, and then only by Officer Zart-
man, who learned OF 1t incidentally,
tends to make many ask for q little salt
with which to season the story.

Sheriff burst In the door and found
every evidence OF . hssty departure. A

SENATOR SHARON.
He f. Hero 10 Consult with His
Friends ~ TO Hts BecominE .
Candidate for Reelection.


Last evening a representative OF the
News sought an interview with Senator
Sharon regarding his candidacy for re-
election. The Senator Was found COM
fortably quartered With Hon. Isaac L..
Rsqua at the Chollar Office, and the
subject was at oncs introduced.
The Senator said the matter OF his be-
coming a candidate for reelection was as
yet undetermined. He was here 10 con-
suit with his friends upon the subject.
''You know" said he. ''that n cannot
be elected to the United States Senate
without friends" He would have come
to Nevada sooner but for Ill health. He
had not been very well OF late.
Rsportsr-How long do you purpose
to remain among us?
Senator Sharon-Two or three days
only at this time.
Reportsr-Then we may look for an
announcement Of your determination
before your departure?
Senator Sharon-Yes; II I conclude
to present myself as q candidate for 70.
election I shall certainly make that fact
known before I leave.
The conversation from this point was
OF q more general character. The Sem
ator asked 10 the State could not be
carried for the Republican ticket IL
proper effort was made during the cam
paign. He was informed that the State
was still undoubtedly Republican, not
w~ithstanding the fact that the numbsr
OF laboring men OF the party who bad
sought other fields was larger than that
Of the Democratic party.
He then spoke OF the general prosper.
ity OF the whole country under Rspubli.

very marked throughout the Eastern
States. The Republican party certainly
deserved well Of the whole country n
he was not prepared to believe the peo-
pie at large dssirous Of o change Of
administration.
Notwithstanding the general dspres.
sion in the mining industries OF Nevada,
other interests were prospsring. In
California much had been effected by
private individuals engaged in quartz
and placer mining, aside from what had
been accomplished by mining compa-
mics. He believed the days Of prosper.
ity were coming again to the coast and
with their return what disaffeetion sI-
isted would cease.
