A Wife Beaten In Trouble.
Silpsr State, March @.

A blacksmith who has been In the N
ploy Of the Railroad Company at Terrace
on the @. P. r. r. was in the habit OF
gratifying his brutal %propensitiss by
beating his wife without just cause or
provoeation. OF late he INDUCED in this
pastime SO often that the citizens conclu.
ded to brighten him and get him to leave
the place. Accordingly a party Of
masked men went to his residence and
notified him to dssist from beating his
wife, or leave. under penalty Of being
tarred and fsathsred. He responded to
their demands by firing at them, and
they returned the FIRE and lodged four
bullets in his legs and body without
killing him. It is said that he is too
meal to die. and fears are entertained
that he will recover. It is rumored that
the mask fell OF Of one Of the v~igilantes
and that tho blacksmith will prosecute
him.

NEVADA CENTRAL RAILWAY.

The story that Samuel j. Tilden was
heavily interested in the new railroad
just completed between Battle Noun.
tain and Austin, and also in the pro-
posed extensions or branches Of It from
Austin south and from Battle Mountain
north sounded plausible enough. In.
deed II was freely conjsctured and stated
by some. that tho shrewd old Presidsn-
tial aspirant was making use Of these
railroad projects to run 4 small army Of
Democrats into this State and thus en-
ploy and colonizs them in his interest
until after the election, and BY that
means capture Nsvada's electoral vote.
There was about a. much truth or sense,
however. in the report as there 10 in the
Virginia Chronicles objection to the
employment OF white labor in the con-
strustion Of the proposed branch Of the
Virginia and Truckes railroad. to Bodie,
ON the ground that II would merely be
colonizing voters for Sharon a. United
States Senator. The Eureka Leader Of

Mr.. Foster Ia and has been Assistant Super.
intendent Of tho road. Az ho expresses II,
during its construction he was Assistant
Superintendent, Master Mechanic. Pay
master, Yardmaster, etc., all combined.
On being asked II IL was true that the road
was built and was being operated by .
'Tilden Syndicate" a. reported. Mr.. Fos-
ter laughed at the idea. He said he hardly
thought that Uncle Sammy knew that such
. road was in existence. It was true that
