Nevada Jurors,

From the Carson Appeal.
Last night number Of men were sitting in
lront OF the Ormsby House discussing the big
mining suit in Eureka between the Richmond
and Albion. General Kittrell, w W. Bishop
Sine Barnes Johnny Moore and others were in
teresting the crowd with recitals of the suits
they had seen. Bishop and Kittrell insisted that
| of late years the atmosphere of the courts had
been purer than in the earlier days.
THAT is, said Barnes, thinner and weaker
| IN other words, jurors cost less than formerly
Both the lawyers agreed that coin had po-
tent influence When the law was all on their
| side and the jury on the other they could only
explain it on coin hypothesis.
AT this point an old grizzly bearded man who
| had been listening slid up and remarked:
mining suits amt what they used to be.
There's been no real live litigation to speak of
since the Raymond Ely suit with the Hermes

"Were you Ia town."
''Well, rather; travelled 400 miles on a mule
to get TO the jury box. / struck the town about
| O'Clock at night, and walking into the leading
| barroOm, inquired if the suit had begun. In
side of half an hour man came up and asked
me what my name was. He wrote it down on
his shirt cuff and then said: 'Pard, if you want
to stay and see the suit, let me see you through
on your expenses; and he handed me $500. re-
marking that he thought the 4. < F.. had the
bulge on the law. 1 said that l thought that
myself, and then l sauntered off, In about an
| nour man came to me and told me was
drawn on the jury. l said ! didn't mind and
agreed +d to stand in. About o'clock
handed me five hundred remarking that
the Hermes had about all the law and facts on
| their side that was necessary. He thought |
might need little money for expenses. OF
course took the money. he seemed so anxious
to get rid of it, and then slipped into back
room, put on pair of false side whiskers. a
| thin silk buster had been carrying under my
| coat and'l was a changed man. Bv 10 o'clock
was on good horse that paid $500 for, and

a case like that. was fearful of further cor
ruption, you see. But on the trial was repre-

Mrs Butcher observed pausing to wine the per-

| THE RUSSIAN MINISTER AND THE HARTMANN
| par fhn1n fI,n
who is at Newport says in most positive terms
| that he has had no instructions whatever from
| his government in reference to Hartmann. the
nihiiist, or the extraditOn of him. 1t is under
| stood to be Mr.. BarthOlOmei's opinion that if
| Hartmann is in Canada there is no likelihood of
his government asking for his return because
| he was not interfered with i'm England and the
presumption is that he will not be interfered
with in her colonies. The minister says that the
| letter of Mr.. Blaine to Hartnann's counsel was
spontaneous certainly. SO far as his government
was concerned.
