GraY,s sentence.

Clarence Gray, the murderer Of Clan
cey, has been sentenced to twenty years in
the State Prison. The Sacramento Record
Union says: "This man ought to have
been hanged, and his sentence is therefore
m~easurably a failure Of Justice. The
crime he committed was q brutal and ag-
gravated one. He was q turbulent ruff
fan, and having been proposed for a re-
sponsible Office, he was denounced as unfit
by a courageous journalist. To prove his
fitness he then assassinated the editor, and
now, after two trials and numerous delays
and bitches in the proceedings, he has re-
ceived this sentence. If such a sentence
really meant anything in this State the
case would be different, but when q man
is sentenced for twenty years we know
only too well that he may be free again in
less than five, if he possesses sufficient po-
litical influence. Since Gray has escaped
the gallows he certainly ought to have had
a life sentence. Even if he serves twenty
years it would not be an adequate punish
ment for his crime, but he has proved him
self so bad a citizen that there is no rea-
son for letting him loose again at all, and
therefore he should have spent the rest oil
his life in the Penitentiary."

The Fire L.daie.. Picnic.

The various fire companies are requested
to meet at the Hooks & Knicks' hose house
at 1880 O'Clock this afternoon to arrange
for a united picnic and excursion Of the
Department during the early part OF Sep
TENDER. A partial understanding, we be-
lieve, has already been reached by the
companies for the proposed festival, which
is seconded by the community in general,
and will no doubt be the most creditable
affair OF the season. 1t is intended to
have the picnic last for three days and to
wind up on Sunday, Sept. 10. Prizes for
all the sports and games usually INDUCED
in on these occasions will be offered, and an
effort will be made to get the Austin Base
ball Club over to play on the second and
third days. II the firemen pull together
the tournament will be a memorable one,
and it is therefore in the interest OF every
member Of the Department to be present
at the meeting to-day.

The San Francisco Post says: "That
we are to have a ~livelier and a stronger
speculation in the Comstock shares in a
short time is the opinion Of our best post
ed mining men, who are in constant COM
m~unication with the front, and who be-
lieve that the exploratory work about to be
done in such mines as Union. Sierra Ne
vada, Mexican. Ophir, Best Il Belcher,
Gould& Curry. Savage, Hale Il Norcross,
Chollar and Potosi, will havea stimulating
effect. to say nothing OF contemplated
operations In several Of the Gold Hill and
south end mines. In other words, a new
revival is at hand. But as is nearly al
ways the case, the first stages OF such a re-
vival are always slow. People are timid
and quick to sell. fearing a reverse every
moment. The higher prices rise, however,
the holder the public becomes. Men who
will not buy stocks at to-day's rates. sim.
ply because they are low and look as il
they are going out OF sight, will eagerly
climb for them at q marked advance, be
cause then they look more valuable. This
has ever been and always will be the ex
perience."

SAN Francisco, Aug. 13.-Maurice Brer

SAN Francisco, August l2-In Iconse-
quence of the quarrel between the Yosemite
and Manhattan wings Of the city Democ-
racy, the State Central Committee on We'd
nesday night last ordered both Conventions
to adjourn. They partially complied. To-
day the State Central and County Com
mittees met and passed a resolution to meet
again tomorrow, for the purpose of appoint.
ing a new nominating Convention, from
which all members Of the State and County
Committees and of both present Conven-
ions are to be excluded. This resolution
was sent into the Yosemite and Manhattan
Conventions, which met this evening, and
by both it was promptly tabled. The
Yosemites then sent a compromise PROPOSE
ton to the Manhattans, offering to give
them half the members of the new Con
v~ention, but recognizing the bargain Of the
Yosemites with the Workingmen, viz: to
give the latter the Sheriff, Auditor, Tax
Collector, two Supervisors and two School
Directors. The proposition was accepted
by a large majority. In view of this COM
promise it is expected that more Of the State
and County Committees plans will come to
grief.
VIRGINIA (Nev.l August 2.-Three holes
have been drilled into the water channel

Con, and furnished with pipes filed with

the pumps could handle, but a fourth hole
has been started, as the flow Of water will
diminish as the pressure decreases. A drift
has been started east from the 2900 station
of the Ophir-M Mexican winze. The forma.

good luck to go east az west. Both sections
of the hydraulic pump were Yesterday still

The market strengthened materially
after the regular Board yesterday, almost
the entire line showing an advance. yell
low Jacket exhibited the greatest improve

somewhat of q deal during the week, and
almost the entire list of stocks in that dis

smart advance under an active business.
| The principal strength was shown by Bodie

encouraging, and higher prices are ex'
pected.

Late information from Austin is TO the
effect that the ball club OF that place has
been strengthened by the acquisition Of
two new players, one being a catcher
(Carroll) of considerable renown in the
East. The club now feel strong enough
to give battle to the Albions, but are I'M
willing to make the journey to Eureka,
unless the local club agrees to allow its
competitor for the championship honors
an expense fund OF 800. This the AL
bions decline to do at present, as they paid
their own way to Austin during the recent
excursion. 1t would ,lhowever, be well for
the Miners Union Of Ruby Hill to con-
slider the propriety Of offering a big prize
at their coming picnic for baseball pur-
poses. The Austin Union gave $3.50, and
this sum was sufficiently tempting to draw
our club over there. A similar prize by
our Union would no doubt have great in
iuence with the Reese River fraternity.

Light Business.

According to the San Francisco Post so
sort of armistice seems to have been
agreed upon between the bull and bear
factions, during which the Comstock. mar
ket has remained steady at nearly the same
figures since the beginning of the week,
with a volume of business which is small
enough to discourage the commission
brokers. The fact that the market does
not weaken much during this tantalizing
idleness, but shows occasional strength in
the f~avorite stocks, is rather encouraging
to the holding interest,"" The Post hopes
for a renewal Of the struggle between the
two factions spoken Of. believing 1t would
make stocks more active.
