| UNDER THE yesterday
| Mitchell Clescovich's RESTRAINT, which
had been a favored resort of the Carson
| epicure for years, was sold at public
/ auction by the Sheriff. The premises,
fixtures, etc, of the restaurant were
purchased by d. Kaiser at ridicuIousIy
low figures, and the saloon adjoining
and the fixtures were divided up among
the various saloons of the city at rather
better prices. Some imported French
brandy went at 50 gallon, before the
crowd fairly knew what prize had
slipped through their fingers. The
amount realized was enough to settle
the claims of the original creditors who
attached the property and also to pay
the walters. Clescovich is supposed to
have cleaned up about $4,000, and by
this time is Oh his way to Europe
When he left Carson he told his friends
that he was going to Steamboat Springs
to recuperate, being in poor health.
He had been gone a week before any
one suspected that all was not right.
He was last seen at Omaha travelling
eastward. At 8 o'clock last evening
Mr.. Kaiser reopened the restaurant,
and will run it from this on This
leaves him in control of the first
class restaurants in the city, and his ex-
perience and knowledge of the business
renders him especially qualified.

spot? Here we can see everywhere the
handiwork and creative genius Of the
Infinite mind; in the bIushing flower,

NEW COURT HOUSE AND JAIL.

The Committee of the Board of Supervisors
on the New Court House and Jail met in this
CITY on Tuesday, agreed on the general details
of their plans, and decided to submit them to
a called session of the Supervisors on Wednes
day of next week.
The plans and agreements with architects
are substantially as outlined in the FREE
TRADER last week. Mr.. Beers has drawn them
to fit the "ideas" of the committee, Is to re-
celve 81 600 for his work, 3 per cent. on cost
of the building if his plans are adopted, with
travelling expenses, board bills etc. His plan
however, calls tor building to cost from $40,
600 to $4,000 more than the price originally
contemplated and this deficiency OF the APP
preparation the Board will be asked to make
up.
There was a good deal of grumbling among
certain members Of the committee over tho
criticism of their doIngs by the FREE TRADER
but no denial, as far As we could learn, OF the
correctness of its statements. A semi-offlcial
reply to the FREE TRADER indeed, was in
serted as an editorial IN the Ottawa Repu6ticdn,
but III makes no Nlttu lll w iiuNtioO cui '''Ss'
It contains a sort OF denial that the prices
agreed by the committee to be PAID TO archi-
tects Randall and Beers are so much higher
than those asked by other architects, and ven
lures the opinion that :" it is not at all likely
that any considerable number of people VIII
believe such serious imputations against such
highly honorable gentlemen as compose the
committee unsupported save by the deciara'
tons of thc~FREE TRADER" Unfortunately
for this defense, the FREE TRADERS "declara-
tons" are supported IN every detail by the OIL
fers of all the other architects and the con-
tracts with Messrs. Randall and Beers now on
view in the clerks Office or in the hands OF the
committee in black and white, and their truth
will be further placed beyond all cavil by
their presentation to the Board next week
The FREE TRADER is supported, we find,
by an intelligent writer in the Earlville Ledder,
who is doubtless IA member OF the Board OF
Supervisors and claims to speak from personal
knowledge. ard he substantially reiterates all
the facts as stated by US We should copy the
article but for the fact that our readers are al
ready substantially in possession OF the same
facts through these columns.
We shall conclude for the present by hearth
" agreeing with the Ottawa Republican, that
il these statements are verified before the
Board, 1.-THE contracts should be annulled, the
committee discharged and II new one appoint
ed composed of men who will look more care
fully after the interests of the county"

IT, 8 SENATOR'S.

The election of Thomas G.. Plat to the U. 5.
Senate by the legislature Of New York is gen
orally regarded as q Conkling triumph, though
the IVsrid regards it rather rs triumph OF
the Gov. Cornell division of the Conkling or
anti. HAYES section of New York stalwartism.
Conkhng's iavorite is known to have been
Crowley, though he took no part in the con
test personally, and his prompt congratula
tons to Plat on his election, compimehting
him AS q republican not ashamed to be called
a stalwart shows that he and Plat are at least
on good terms. Plat was a noisy Conkling
tie in the Syracuse convention last spring, and
was one of the quartette-the other three be
ing Conkling, Arthur and Cornell-whom the
Hayes administration three years ago set out
to crush with such inglorious results.
In Pennsylvania the Cameron machine don't
work quite as smoothly as of yore. The Cam

Grow had friends enough, with the democrats to

of uniting that opposition on Grow or some
one else, the Grow republicans refused to en-
ter the caucus. Accordingly, the first ballot
on Tuesday resulted in 9J for Oliver, So for
Grow, 03 for Wallace and (republicans) scat
terlng. Grow says he can keep this ballot un.
broken for a month If necessary and has nc
doubt of ultimate success in beating the Cam.

THE RAILROADS..

The war of rates between the Chicago and
St. Louis and the Wabash combination is said
to about over. The negotiations, which
had been carried on for some days by tele-
graph, had progressed so far on Wednesday
that on that morning the Illinois Central, the
Alton and the Wabash commenced selling
tickets from Chicago to st. Louis for $50,
with rebate OF 81, and same rates from St,
Louis to Kansas city.
The Chicago, Burlington and Quincy rail
road have filed articles of incorporation with
the secretary of state of Colorado for road
from Denver west to the Utah line. The same
parties filed last week the articles of lncerpGr-
alton of the Denver and Pacific railroad COM
panv with the auditor of the territory of Utah.
The projected road is to run from Ogden to a
point on the boundary of Colorado and Utah
There can be no longer any doubt that the
Burlington company Is now determined 70
have an independent line through to thePaciflc.
The Burlington and Missouri Il. X. in Nebras
ka is now within $50 miles of Denver, and
this gap will no doubt be filled in next year. !
The Chicago, Burlington and Quincy com
pany has recently constructed several 'hrst.
class smoking cars, to be attached to oil the
through passenger trains just behind the DIN
Ing car. They are furnished with rattan seats
revolving chairs and several tables, and are
vastly more attractive to the lover of the weed
than the filthy emigrant car in which he is
compelled to take seat on many roads when
he desires to indulge in smoke.
The Illinois Central is building monster
elevator at Cairo, and intends to bring the
grain of Northern Iowa to that place for ship
ment down the river to New Orleans. The
roads terminating in st Louis are also con
templating building elevators of large ca

in the state, except Cook, is to have new

are correct the structure is to be S5xl5O feet

to build such a cheap affair, when $35O,OO to
100000 would give us a building that would
not only be a credit to the county, but would
meet all the requirements ola court house tor
the next three hundred years. Public build
ings of this character should be constructed
entirely firc-proof, with ample accommoda-
tlons for all future needs It would be cheaper
IN the end, and more busnessllke."

While James A. Garfield was simply an NJ.
C., with a reputation none too clean at that,
an unpretentious little brick Campbellite
church IN Washington city was regarded as
quite spacious and stately enough for all the
needs of himself and his few co-religionists IN
the way of sanctuary accommodations In our
wicked capital. But now that Garfield is
president, the idea Is preposterous that all the
dignity that surrounds such lofty personages
as the president and his family can enjoy their
conventional two hours Sunday snooze IN
such building. Accordingly the Campbell.
ties Of Washington have started their parson
on begging expedition TO raise the means for
the erection OF a new church edifce in special
honor to Gen. Garfield, and a few days ago he
had the happiness of being able to report a
subscription already swelled to $4,000, and
that every state and territory wed to swell the
contribution

AN OHIO HoRRoR.-The FREE TRADER is
not in the habit of nauseating Its readers
with details of horrors, IN which the daiies OF
the big cities so largely abound, yet OCCASION
alIy there is one so phenomenal IN its atrocity
AZ to make it worthy subject of general In
terest and speculation. Such was the triple
murder at PLAIN city, near Columbus, Ohio'
on Monday night. The victims were Ophella
Clark, a feeble, blind colored woman OF ~
wears, her niece Maria Scott, a sprightly miss

10 wears. They lived with several other mem
bers of the family, who were absent at the
time of the murder, IN good house, on farm
of 100 acres near Plain city, were more than
ordinarily intelligent for negroes, and IN COM
Portable circumstances. For several years
mast Robert Garnes, colored man % years
old had worked about the farm, and upon
more IN an one occasion endeavored to induce
Maria Scott to marry him, or worse, and had
always been firmly repulsed. AT last he was
dlschared and ordered away from the farm.
On Monday evening at o'clock Matilda
and Laura Scott, sisters of Maria, went to visit
neghbor, leaving the old lady, Maria and
the boy Charley alone at home. Soon after
they had left Garnes was seen to enter the
