The Fire and the Ctrcus,

Every paper On the Coast has had some
thing to say about the large attendance Of
Eurekans at the circus on the night sue
ceeding the great fire. The Stock Ex-
change puts in its oar as follows:
We sympathise deeply with the people of
Eureka in the great disaster that has swept
away nearly three hundred Of the houses
of their town. But it is pleasant to reflect
that they have not allowed themselves to
become respondent under the circum-
stances. A dispatch to the Alta this morn
ing informs Us that "but few cases Of alb
solute restitution are reported thus far.
Several parties are clearing away the debris
to rebuild. 1t is ascertained that fewer
poor families were burned out than on the
occasion of the other great fire. Our
people are hopeful, and last night 1000 Of
them attended Coles circus, among the
number q great many sufferers" This
shows that the sufferers are doing their duty
like Christians, and that while committees
are working earnestly for their relief, they
are resignedly and conscientiously putting
in their time at the circus. Possibly the
jokes Of the Shaksperian clown help to
wean them from the contemplation Of their
own misery.

A LIE OUT.
Governor Kinkead and Secretary

Governor Kinkead and Secretary
of State Babcock to Attorney Gen.
eral Murphy.
The following card appears in the West
ern Nevada papers
Respect for myself requires a reply to
the card of Attorney General Murphy,
published on the 18th inst, and circulated
extensively throughout the State. l do
most emphatically reaffirm and assert that
the Attorney General did, at the meeting
of the Board Of Examiners on the 18th
inst, not only concur in the report in con-
troversy, but did also authorize the other
members Of the Board to SO state publicly.
The facts in regard to the matter are briefly
these The report referred to was written
in the Office of the Attorney General. with
his concurrence and participation. 1t was
his report to the Board Of Examiners, not
that OF either Of the other members. His
only objection to signing it was that the
Board was sitting, in some measure, in
Judgment upon himself, as well as the
State Treasurer, and from motives OF deli
cacy he thought ii best and proper that it
should appear as the report of the other
members. He was distinctly requested to
note and append to the report any objec-
ton he might nave to it. He said he had
none. This statement can, and will, il
necessary, be s~ubstantiated by the afida-
Wits Of two disinterested parties.
JOHN H. KINKEAD,
Chairman Board Of Examiners.
Carson, New, August 20. 1880.
Having read very carefully the above
statement Of Governor Kinkead, I unhesi-
tatingly confirm in every respect the facts
therein set forth.

Member Board Of Examiners.

Rev. Mr.. Gamagher,r sermon.

Rev. Mr.. Gallagher, Of the Presbyterian
Church, preached a sermon Sunday even
ing which is being severely criticised by q
good many people. Our reporter was o
present, but learns from persons who were,
that the reverend gentleman attributed the
late sweeping fire in the eastern part Of
town to the immortality and wickedness Of
the people of that section, asserting it as
his belief that the wrath Of God had been
sent against them. We can now under
stand how it was that Jack Perry's corner

how the Presbyterian parsonage came to
be destroyed a year or two since.

small prospects of wash gold. Expect to
sink at least 80 feet more before reaching

general impression that something sub
~stantial will be struck. Outsiders are try

The sprinkling Question.

Mr.. NJ. Farrell will to-day interview the
the business people on Main street with re-
gard to sprinkling that street. Mr.. F. in
forms us that previous to the fire he was
receiving barely enough to pay current ex-
penses. Owing to the fire a large number
Of his old customers have been thrown out
of business, and as a consequence he can
not collect from them. He will call on all
the business men on Main street to. day for
the purpose of having those in business in
crease their subscriptions. If this is not
done Mr.. Farrell will have to quit the bus
mess. II it should be as windy and dusty
to-day as yesterday we think the whole
community will stand in with Mr.. Farrell,
and they ought to.

CUPID's
The Marriage of some Old Eastern
Nevada Friends.

Nevada Friends.
Last nights mail brought the SENTINEL
q couple Of large square envelopes, con-
tanning daintily embossed cards, tied with
cupid bows and all that sort Of thing, in
d~icating that the senders had or we're about
to take upon themselves the responsible
ties of welded life. The first envelope
that we went through bore the postmark
Cincinnati, and its contents ran as follows:
"Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Totten request
your presence at the marriage Of their
daughter, May, to George T. German,
Thursday, August 26, 1880, at 8 o'clock
P. NJ; No. 2,015 Diamond street, Philadel-
phia."
Mr.. German is an old and highly es-
teemed citizen Of Phoebe. We are sorry
that we cannot put in an appearance at his
wedding, but we wish him all imaginable
bliss and happiness nevertheless.
The other notification came from the
West, and shows that the important bust
ness has already transpired. This is what
the principal card states:
aaron B. Hunt-Alice G. Pickle; mar
ried Wednesday evening August A, 1880,
San Francisco, CAL"
Mr.. Hunt is the well-known attorney
who lived in the early days in White Pine
and later in Phoebe. The SENTINEL ex-
tends congratulations, and hopes that he
may never soul on his Pickle.

The Worst Man of fhe Two Granted
a New Trial.

The Phoebe Record Of Saturday has the
following: The long-looked for decision
Of the Supreme Court in the case Of Nc
Lane and McIntire, convicted of murder
in the first degree at Phoebe for the COW
ardly assassination Of Fred. Walbaum, has
at lase been rendered. On Monday Attor-
ney Patchen received a telegram from
Attorney General Murphy stating that the
finding in McIntire's case was affirmed,
but in McLane's case reversed. When
this news became known it took every per-
son by surprise, and there was not a man
in Phoebe who did not express great in
dignation with the decision. In fact, they
did not know what to make Of it, and
thought there must have been some mis-
take in the dispatch. The very man, as
cold-blooded and red-handed an assassin
as ever walked the face of the earth, who
planned and killed Walbaum, and then had
McItnire, his accomplish, arrested for
committing the deed, has another show for
his worthless life, while his dupe, the best
man Of the two, is deprived of any chance
for his life whatever. McIntire richly de-
serves the fate which he has to meet. Ig-
norance is no excuse for being drawn into
such a scrape. McIntire has no money or
friends; McLane has both. During the
incarceration of the prisoners McLane's
conduct has been very bad. He threatens
the life of the guard, Judge, jury, wit
nesses and other persons, while McIntire's
conduct has been just the reverse. When
McIntire's attorney informed him OF the
decision, he said: "It's strange, and l
don't think 1t is right, that the man who
shot both balls into Fred. Walbaum
should have another trial, and I have no
chance at all; but / will die like a man."
McLane's attorney informed him that he
had secured him a new trial, and came
right away, not stopping to say anything
more nor to listen to what the prisoner
had to say. The next term of the Court
will meet on the 9Th of October, when Nc
Lanes case will oome up snd McIntire will
be sentenced. The witnesses in this case
have scattered far and wide. Some are in
Arizona and one in the States.

There was o marked decline in the price
Of Albion stock yesterday. On Sunday
there was much talk on the street to the eff
feet that the Richmond was taking steps to
prevent the Albion working the new ore
body. Surveyors Wescoatt and Read have
been engaged during the past two days in
making surveys, ETC., but we have not yet
learned the conclusion at which they ar
rived regarding the disputed bonanza. No
papers had been served on the Albion folks
at latest accounts last evening. 1t appears
that there were heavy sales Of Albion stock
from here at the informal session yester-
day, in anticipation Of proceedings by the
Richmond Company. We shall probably
know more about the situation of the af-
fairs before another issue OF the SENTINEL.

Lived Through the Fire.

There were two canary birds in Billy
Clark's warehouse, and went through the
fire. They both came out as lively as
crickets. This fact shows that Billy's
building could not have got very warm
on the inside during the great confagra-
ton, Notwithstanding it was located in the
thick Of the big blaze. The burning OF
the lumber yard subjected the warehouse
to as intense heat as was experienced at
any other point.

The Platform system.

The sporting fraternity Of Eureka, since

in vogue in Virginia City, for their faro
games. 1t is just as well, and no n will
growi. The law putting gambling up
stairs, in these wooden towns, is all wrong.
1t simply causes the erection Of mammoth
two-story buildings, which only spread de-
struction in cases of fire. Better let them
deal down stairs than have SO many tall
buildings.
