NEVADA, (Cal) July 26.-At 1915 this
morning, George W. Smith. ex Sheriff Of
this county, met T. w. Sigourney, ar old
and wealthy resident, in trent of the
National Hotel office Smith charged
Sigourney of robbing him, and without
further warning, drew his pistol and
commenced shooting at Sigeurney. The
first shot took effect in Sigourney'S right
shoulder. Gigourney ran Tor the postot-
flee, few feet distant, and reached the
hallway, Smith following snd firing two
more shots in quick succession. The
second shot missed his victim, but the
third took effect near the spine and pass
ed through the body. When the last
shot was fired, Smith was so close upon
his victim that the powder burned Sig
ourney's coat. Bystanders here inter-
fered Smith withdrew and gave himself
up to Sheriff Tompkins Sirourney was
taken to the National Exchange Hotel,
and medical assistance rendered, but he
died in 20 minutes after the shooting
Trouble has existed between them for
many months 1t appears that Sigourney
held mortgage on all OF Smiths props
ertv. which had been ioreclosed and
Smith has been dispossessea of all his
property, save a small cabin, to which
he had moved his family and in which
he was now living This morning. by
order of Sigourney, notice was served on
Smiths family to vacate the cabin or
house in which they lived. Smith claims
uutai: treatment on the part of Sigourney
through his many and long transactions
with him, and that the attempt this
morning to eject his family from their
present very humble abode So enragcd
Smith that he sought out Si2ourney and
killed him. On the other hand many
claim that Sigourney was very lenient
and strictly honorable with his many
years dealings with Smith, and after
much hesitation WAS obliged to take Sc
we're legal measures TO &c: his dues. The
shooting caused intense excitement, and
is deeply regretted by every one. Both
parties are very we'll and tavorahly
known, and each have many strong per
senal friends. The funeral of Mr. Sig
Quincy will take place here Wednesday
at p m under the auspices ot the Wy
oming Tribe of the order of Red Men. OF

ending Junr 30th $187, ,90S.359. During
the year Just closed the value Of imports
of merchandise into the United States
We're larger than during any preceding
year ia the history of the country. The
value Of exports o. the merchandise dur

ceeded the value OF exports of merchan>
disc during the preceding year, about
$125,0OO,00O, or 13 per cent; and the
value of Imports Of merchandise during
the year ending June 80, 1880, exceeded
the value of such imports during the
preceding year about $22,000. 900, or 80
per cent increase in Vi lue. Imports OF
merchandise exceeded the increase in
value of exports nearly $97 100000. Tie
value OF imports and exports of merch>

exceeds tho value of such exports and
imports during the preceding year about
$3,470 900, an increase of 80 per cent
The rapid growth of the foreign COM

greater than the value of imports and

ATLANTA, Ga, June 3O.-There is no
great enthusiasm here for Hancock and
English, still it is conceded the ticket will
undoubtedly carry Georgia. One lm-
portant feature is that the colsred pro>
pie are forming Hancock clubs. They
have been enthused tor kim on the idea
that he is tile next soldier of the Union
to Grant. That TACT will make them al
nest solid for Hancock, just rs they
would have been for Grant, They recog
nize him as the man who fought for heir
freedom. Garfield has no following
among them of any consequence. There
will be at least three "olored Hancock
clubs in Atlanta, and they are asking the
aid and support of white Democrats in
the organization of these clubs. This
action will 60 far toward obliterating the
color line between whites and blacks in
politics.

Ex-Mayor Jos. Brswn returned home

Arizona, where the bloody Apache squats,
like toad, under the umbrella shaped
cactus aad pounces upon the unwary
raneher of the desert. He brought all
his hair with him, but there is touch of
frost on his chin whiskers caused by the
dry atmosphere and the constant viglls
over the moccasin track of Vlctorio and
his band. Mr.. Brown represents the
condition Of affairs in southern New Mex
leo and Arizona as horribly disgraceful
and absolutely disgusting. The Indians
roam about with fearless audacity, and
murder peaceful ranchmen and herders
in mere wantoness. Men and women are
killed by the demoniac redskins and mus
tilated in the most barbarous manner

SARATOGA, July 24.-The following
resolution was adopted yesterday BY
Tammany:
Eesolced. That while our constituents
had NO part in the nomination OF the
electoral ticket, headed by Hon. Abram
S. Hewitt, We recognize that in voting
for that ticket we will vote tor our Ma
tional candidate, whose success would
be jeepsrdizsd by retaining tive electoral
tickets in the State; and we therefore
accept the reslgnatlons Of the gentlemen
nominated a. electors by the Shakespeare
Hall Convention, and determine that the
reunion and harmony Of party will be
pest served by omitting to fill their va
cancies.
The Committee contested of Hon John
Kelly, William Wright, E. S. Jenny, A. P.
Page, Fred L. WestLrook, John II. Colby
and r. NJ. Sheets. They presented an
address to the Democracy of the State
which was adopted. 1t says among Other
things, that the nomination OF Hancock,
the soldier Statesman of Pennsylvania,
has lifted the whole party above embar>
rasslng local and State distractions to
broad National ground, and has blotted
our past alterations by a grand hope.
Now there is but one party, one cause,
and one work in which all Democrats
should heartily unite and TO which they
should devote their utmost zeal. Let
past alterations be forgotten. The fol>
lowing was adopted:
WHEREAS, The wise and patriotic ac-
ton of the Democratic National Con>
ventlen recently assembled in Cincinnati
in placing before the people of the Union
AS candidates for President and Vice
President of the United States, General
Winfield Scott Hancock and Hon. Will
lam H. English, has settled differences
which have divided the Democratic par>
ty upen National issues in this State; !;
therefore,
Resolred, That with a view of having
a Convention in this State wherein all
membess of the Democracy of the State
may be fairly and properly represented.
a sub Committee of five be appointed hy
the Chair to confer with the Democratic
State Committee of which Hon. Lester B.
Faulkner is Chairman, and that said sub
Committee be clothed with full power III

dogs and plenty OF ammunition. For two
or three days he tramped around the
hills, but found the game rather scarce.
But on his next hunt he had all the sport
he wanted, and seasoned with just e~sugh
excitement to make it interesting. He
had gone out late in the afternoon and in
few moments managed to bag good
sized bear. While gloating over his prize
he was horrifcd to hear some furious
growls, and turning around saw not ten
eet distant another huge "varmlnt y
making straight for him. He instantly
dropped his gun and Skinned up small
sapling with all the agility Of a monkey.
The bear had him freed, and after snuff
fing round the dead body of its mate he
gave some frightfull yells and came to
the tree and camped for the night. 1t
was case of siege and things looked
squally. The night was cold and dark,
and Mr.. Celby's position was anything
but agreeable, but he froze to his elevat-
ed perch like grim death to the negro.
He was kept there all night and we'll
along into the next day, when his tyrant
became frightened At something and left
