The usual quiet of the Justice Court
was broken yesterday about noon by the
trial Of Max Freeman and A. G. Smith Of
the Melville Opera Company, charged with
disturbing the peace. 1t appears that the
company were going to rehearsal, and
when in front of the Opera House a scufae
occurred between the parties, arising from
more or less chatting. Smith, who is the lead
ing violinist, is in the habit, so we are
told, Of occasionally putting in a few -four
ishes during Mr.. Freeman's singing. This
has nestled Mr.. Freeman frequently, and
on Thursday evening embarrassed him.
In speaking Of it to Mr.. Smith, the latter
attempted to laugh it off as a good joke or
a mere pleasantly. A few apparently good
natured words were exchanged, when they
got into a scufle. Whether they really in
tended to batter each other did not trans
pire, as Officer Mckay and Jailer Fitzmau-
rice rushed to the scene and arrested them
both. On being taken before Justice Har-
mon, Attorneys Bishop and Beatty volun-
teered their services for the defense, and
District Attorney Davenport appeared on
behalf OF the prosecution. The defense
called for a jury trial. and twelve peers
were accordingly impaneled. A dozen or
SO Of witnesses were examined, but these
failed to convince the jury that-the defen-
dants really meant to disturb the peace
and quiet Of Eureka. and that body rem
dered q verdict Of "not guilty." after q
few minutes elaboration, the case being
submitted to them without argument.
The Judge thereupon gave the distin-
guished prisoners his blessing, and told
them to go and prepare for "Bocaccio,"
as he did not wish to see the community
deprived Of that musical treat. During
the trial, which lasted about two hours, the
Courtroom, side rooms and sidewalk were
crowded with a throng of interested spec
tators, and envious at the success OF Judge
Harmon's matinee, one OF our young man
ayers posted his sign of Standing Room
Only |" on the walls Of the building.
Max on emerging from the Courtroom
looked like a Nihilist, and wanted to know
OF one of his friends whether he was in
Deutschland oder Russland."
In ~empaneling the jury, Jack Perry hap
| pened to be among the unlucky. number
drawn or collected. He was, however,
challenged on the ground OF not being
| able to show up 5000 worth OF property
He offered to put up soap, but was per-
| emptorily dismissed at the expense of the
| usual dignity Of the Court. the crowd in
attendance smiling audibly, as Jack
was anxious to get on the jury, not for its
| emoluments, but because he has got a good
ear for music, and thought the prison
ers could sing better than they could
fight. The third act OF the comedy.
however, was the most amusing OF
all, for shortly after the prisoners were
given their freedom, the Court. jury, wit
nesses, the attorneys on both sides, and
defendants all sailed into Perry's Corner,
and smashed one bottle Of champagne al
ter another, which accounts for Max's
sparkling humor later in the evening.

Thomas Burns, indicted for the murder
OF Thomas Mack. came up for trial in the
Nye County District Court on the l4th in
slant. The Courier says the defendant
withdrew his plea OF not guilty, previously
made. and substituted a plea Of guilty, as
charged in the indictment. The Court
then proceeded to examine witnesses, to de-
termine the degree OF the crime, and after
hearing the evidence ~adjudged the defen-
dant guilty Of murder in the second de-
gree. On the 18th defendant was ar
raigned and sentenced to imprisonment in
the State Prison OF Nevada at hard labor
for life, The murder was committed In
Grantsville last August.

The Asylum site.

But four members Of the Board were in
Reno last Wednesday to select the site for
the new Insane Asylum, Gov. Kinkead and
Lieut.. Gov. Adams being absent. After
viewing the various sites proposed, says
the Journal. Messrs. Deal, Huffaker,
Crockett and Halleck decided upon the
bench near where the river takes O bend,
just far enough in to allow plenty Of room
for nice grounds in front. Forty acres OF
land viii be reserved for asylum purposes.
The location is a splendid one In fact, the
very best that could be chosen, says the
journal.

The Gold Hill News says: "Day by
day the probability becomes greater and
greater that there has been a change in the
control OF the Sutro Tunnel. The News
has information from a reliable source,
however, that the Bonanza firm have not
secured that control. but that John W.
Mackay has obtained 1t in his own name
and right" The annual meeting Of the
company--which was TO have been held
this month-having been postponed until
April 0, for lack OF 0 quorum, il would
look as II the man who held the controlling
interest was not in the country.

THE ADAMS INQUEST.
some Peculiar Testimony Elected
by the Coroner.


The San Francisco Examiner OF March
"a gives the following as the only impor-
tant testimony ELECTED in the case OF James
Adams, who lost his life in an affray with
Adolph Schander On Monday, March IA I:
NJ. @. Howell. keeper Of a cigar stand,
No. GIG Montgomery street, testified that
talking together in front of his stand I;
that Adams was somewhat abusive and
said. among other things, " will be even
with you / will beat you" Schander
tried to pacify him, and finally turned to
go away, when Adams called him back and
they went into the saloon on the corner Of
Merchant and Montgomery streets.
Shortly afterward he heard the shots.
James Barry, one Of the proprietors Of
the saloon testified that after he heard the
shots he ran around the counter, and when
he got outside Schander was partially lying
on the floor, near the door. Witness then
heard two more shots. The three shots
were discharged while a person could
count five. Witness knew Of only three
shots. Upon getting outside Of the
ter he saw Schander ON the floor, near the
Montgomery street door, and he was rest
ing on one hand. Before witness could
get to him he had arisen and gone put.
Thomas Catlan, another OF the proprie-
tors Of the saloon IN the corner OF Mer-
chant and Montgomery streets, testified
that he had never seen the deceased or Mr..
Schander before the day the shooting &C.
Cured. "They came into the saloon
twice before Mr.. Barry relieved me. The
first that attracted my attention was the
sound Of a pistol. made aspring toward
the men, and q man., who had his back
toward me, wearing gray clothes, was shoot
ing. I think he fred three shots. Did
not notice any difference in the sound OF
the shots. The men were standing to-
gether at the end Of the counter, and the
man who got shot was standing in the
middle, and the third man was at the end
Of the ounter My attention was drawn
to the man who was doing the shooting. !
did not see the third man put his hands on
the man who was shot. I caught hold OF
the man who was doing the shooting and
flung him sideways on the floor. He
dropped the pistol and I grabbed it. !
saw the man who was shot coming towards
us with a pistol in his hand, pointed at
both Of us. / let the nan who had done
the shooting go out Of the Montgomery
street door,"
Since the above Is in type We learn by
telegraph that the jury returned a verdict
of justifable homicide. This appears
strange in the face Of the dying mans
statement and the evidence alone pub
lished. But as San Francisco is now con-
sidered the paradise Of public murderers,
such O verdict does not surprise us very
much. 1t is time for the old Vigilance
Committee to show its fingers again at the
Bay.

Mrs. Jos. Winzell was very i'll all day
yesterday, and last night only a faint hope
Of her recovery was left to her husband.
At a late hour she was delirious and recog-
nized no one, and was gradually growing
weaker. A number Of sympathetic lady
friends called in during the evening, to
inquire after the patient, and some re-
NAMED all night to relieve the sufferer. At
one o'clock this morning there was no
change.

Deming, the junction city of Southern
New Mexico, says the Albuquerque Jour
nal. has not begun to sprout yet, the cause
therefor being lack Of building material.
The town site has been laid out, and lots
are selling rapidly and at a good figure,
but few buildings have as yet gone up. The
greater number Of the inhabitants are
Californians, hating on their way to the
Florida Mountains, which are reported
Allied with old-time prospectors, most OF
whom are from California. This compara-
lively new district is about thirty miles
from Deming, and parties are going in
there in great numbers. Notwithstanding
fears Of Indian ravages. Deming is hope
full of riyaling Ell Paso for business, and
it certainly has the advantage Of location.

Conner Mines.

The region around Walker Lake, says
the Carson Tribune, is lousy with cop
per. Already several companies are at
work getting out the metal which finds a
ready market at from Is to 20 cents per
nound. The Mint uses a great deal Of it
for alloy. The proportion used in silver
coinage is about one part copper TO ten Of
silver. The copper from the Washoe Lake
country will soon supply the home demand
and thus do that much toward keeping our
money at home.

Unjust Complaint.

Our musical CRITICS should remember
that there are three or four librettos Of
"Pinafore" in the market. The complaint
that the Melvilles cut the performance
short ON Thursday evening is absurd. The
children who played the same opera here a
year or 80 ago introduced o number Of
specialties, which. although they amused,
were foreign to the text. The Melvilles
gave the opera as II came from the authors,
and as it has been played by them for the
past three years.

John F. Scammon, an old lawyer of
Chicago, writes to the Chicago Inter- Ocean
a letter in verdication of Robert II. Lin
coin, concluding as follows:
Should both Mr.. Wayne MacVeagh and
Mr.. Robert Lincoln go into General Gar
fields Cabinet there will be two Lincolns
there. Some years ago while waiting in
the ante-room OF the Governors Office at
Harrisburg, Pa, my attention was called
to an engraving on the wall of the names
of the members Of an old constitutional
cony ention, among which l found sig
nature, Abraham Lincoln, which very
closely resembled the signature of our
martyred President.
When Mr.. Wayne MacVeagh was here
last summer attending the Presidential
convention, sat at his side, and observ-
ed for the first time his resemblance to
MI Lincoln. l mentioned to him this
signature in the Governors S room, and
asked his if he had ever been told his side
face resembled Lincoln's. "Oh, yes" he
said, "and that his mother was or was
descended from one of these Pennsylvania
Lincolns." SO guess the Lincolns are
not all buried yet.
