A Dismal Feast.

1t was Il dismal feast to which David
Schuyler, a Philadelphia undertaken,
invited Samuel Hemple, a theatrical
friend, as chief guest. The invitations
We're upon mourning paper, ornamented
with skull and cross-bones. The din
ning-room was lighted with wax-tapers.
III the center was a table covered by q,
handsome pail that reached to the floor.
giving it the appearance of q catafalque.
Upon this the dinner was laid. The
dishes We're all appropriately arranged
with fringes of black and white tissue
paper around them. The chicken as it
lay in its dish upon its back, had a white
choker, . black necktie, and a white.
dickey at its neck, made Of the same
material. The salt cellers had black
caps, and long trailing mourning bands
tied around them. The most unique ar
rangenent upon the the table was q sill
Yer toothpick-holder, o small hearse
with horses attached, driver upon the
box, and doors to open at the rear end,
where q miniature casket containing the
picks was drawn forth. The mashed
potatoes were dug out Of a mound COW
cred with roast potato jackets, which,
with sprigs of green planted here and
there. looked likeashady burial lot, with
several wooden tombstones standing up
right upon it. The ice-cream was mould
ed in the shape of a coffin, and the cuts
of pie were made in a similar shape.
The entire dinner was made as en-
blematic of thelundertaker's trade as
taste and ingenuity could devise, and
after the first shudder was passed the
guests enjoyed themselves in spite of the
funeral surroundings.

MIR. DAVENPORT SPEAKS

His Piece to- the Enterprise and
Others "HOlding Him in High
fsteem."
EDITOR SENTINEL: Will you kindly
permit me space in your paper to publish
the following upon the unfortunate Reek-
Anderson affair: The Enterprise says:
'sTo the discredit be it said of Mr.. Daven-
port, the District Attorney of Eureka, he
has not exhibited either zeal or diligence
in the discharge of his duty. Why he has
not unearthed all the villainy which en-
compasses this crime is for himself alone
to explain. We regret to write thus harsh
ly of this gentleman. for we, in common
with many others in this part of the State,
have held him in high esteem, and were
glad when we heard of his election as At
torney General of Nevada. Let us hope
that he will be able to show that he has
been wronged by the structures which his
apparent neglect Of duty have provoked"
In answer to the Enterprise l would say
that l may be unfortunate in rot being
able to hunt up testimony which would
Justify me in insisting that Reek should
stand his trial for the killing Of James E.
Anderson, but | am not conscious of any
dereliction of duty. or lack OF zeal, or
diligence. in presenting all the testimony
obtainable and which was pertinent to the
case. Not one Of the witnesses to whom
the Enterprise has referred as important,
and who should have been called, can ties
tify to anything III their several state
ments to me are to be believed) which
would shed any light upon the commence
meEt of the aifray between Anderson and
Reek. 1t would not be proper, l appre-
bend, for me to analyze the testimony al
ready given, or to intimate what further
evidence will be produced, because the
Grand Jury will undoubtedly investigate
the matter, when all that can be said on
either side. in the shape OF legitimate evil
dence, will be presented, and it will then
be known whether or not the law officers
of Eureka County have deliberately sup
pressed important evidence" or have been
neglectful Of their several duties.
Until that time, l ask that the Enter
prise and others "who have held me In
high esteem" will not convict me lat long
range" OF the heinous ofense of wiliul
neglect Of official duty.

Digtriot Attorney,

Everything looks well in and about the
Eureka Tunnel mine. The foul air has
been replaced and made fresh by the
blower which operates at the mouth of the
1511uuts54e! The second level los feet below
| the tunnel level, is about 100 feet in length
! and runs east and west. In a south drift
from this a fine body of carbonate ore is I'M
covered. At the end of this drift a winze
! has been sunk about 90 feet. at the bottom
of which the ore has an average thick
ness of two feet, and seems to be going
down strong at an angle of five degrees in
good, clean ore, requiring no asserting,
and evidently of the same rich quality
now being taken from other parts of the
mine. In the north drift of upraise from
this level ore has been followed and ex-
tracted of a uniform grade of 100 ounces
| to the ton for a distance of 40 feet. and
still continues, the vein varying in width
from six inches to three feet. In the east
| Slope from this drift there is a good body
| of high grade ore of the same varying
width. This stope is now yielding from
two to three tons OF ore per day. The
| general output Of the mine is eight tons,
with prospects Of an increase. The last
batch of ore, 60 tons, taken out of the
mine without assortment, asssyed at the
reduction works of the Eureka Con, Sljj
per ton. the net returns OF which will be
about 500 per ton. There are rs men
employed in the mine.

OGDEN SHOOTING AFFAIR.
A Man Shot While Sitting Up with
a Corpse.


The Ogden Pilot of last Saturday con-
tains the following: Last night at 1915
another shooting affair occurred in Ogden,
at the Omaha House, which will probably
result fatally. The particulars, as near as
we can get them, are as follows:
There were several men sitting up to look
after things and to take care Of the corpse
Of John Elvin, who died yesterday after
noon. At IL O'Clock a man named Smith,
rather well dressed, came into the barroom
and asked for a room. He was told that
he could not get one, as they had none
vacant. He then began to talk and raise
a disturbance and was told to keep still, as
there was a dead man in the house n
they did not wish to raise a row. He re-
piled: Il don't give a d-n if there is."
He was then told by one of the men to
take a short walk around the block and
see if he could not get in some place else.
He got up from the chair and walked
toward the door. Patrick Jones and an
other man got up and followed Smith to
the door and shut it as he passed out.
Just after he got outside be turned and
fired, the ball passing through the glass
door and striking Jones in the breast, pass
ing through the right lung. The exact
location of the ball is unknown. Smith,
after shooting, ran around the corner by
tie Chamberlin House, and afterward
found his way to the Keeney House. There
he reported himself robbed, and went to
bed, where he was arrested to-day by
Kelley and Keyes. He is from Salt Lake,
and says he came here to start a faro game.
Jones was taken to his room near by, and
Drs. Jones and Powers were called. They
pronounce his case II very serious one.
Patrick Jones was formerly a Waterman in
the Utah & Northern yard, but had quit a
dav or two before.

No Damages.

The suit of Michael Clancy against the
Union Consolidated Mining Company for
S25, 900 damages for injuries received in
December, 1879, through being hoisted mp
into the sheaves. which has occupied the
United States Circuit Court for two or
three days, the State Journal says, was
Friday morning decided in favor of the
defendant by the verdict of q jury. Clancy
sued for a sum edual to 81 per day, with
interest, from the time of the accident.
What the plaintiff founded his case upon
was the fact that the indicator was out OF
order and the engineer was running by
tags fastened upon the cable when the
accident occurred. The defense showed
that the shaft had been sunk to nearly its
full depth by tags on the cable, and that
tho only advantage derived from the use
OF the indicator was that it allowed the
engineer to lower aud hoist at greater
speed. The majority Of the shafts on the
Cumstock were sunk without the use Of
the present dial indicator.

from Mr.. AndeTs son opposing Reek in favor of
Douthett for County superintendent of Schools
at the last convention. That was the first Ill
Will ever shown by either for the other. On
his dying bed Mr. Anderson told his wife, in
the presence of Mrs. Judge Rives, that he did
not see Reek coming at him until he was shot.
He reached around Thomas Dale with his
pistol in his hand and shot. The telegraph
said that Mrs. George n. Baker saw Mr. Ander-
son fire the first shot. Mrs. Baker had passed
the spot as she drove along in her carriage
before the men met, and saw nothing of it.
She says several who saw 1t did not testify at
the CoIoner's inquest. She was told that
Willie Pardy, one of the Leader carrier boys,
saw it, snd another boy with him named Dick
Jury. Sh thin.s that great .ffor ) were nisie
to clear keek. Reek Is one of what Is known
in Eureka as the Prairie du CHEN crowd,
which is composed of Reek, Kaye, the Demo
cratic candidate for state Superintendent;
Matthews, who ran for County Commissioner
on the. Republican tick t; DR.. Reese, George
W. Baker and his brother John Baker, Repub-
lican candidate for District Attorney. She
does not know whether they all pulled for
Reek, but it is positively said that they have
all pulled harmoni Dnsly together III politics.
Reek now says that the card was written by
his father-in-iaw Mette, who Insisted on his
PUBLISHING 1t. This story is denied, and it Is
said Reek had twice as bad a card but modified
it The report that Mr.. Anderson received
kilograms on his deathbed a king him If there
was any hing not published in regard to the
Louisiana aff ir, Mrs AndeI son denies. She
says she is perfectly familiar with the whole
business, and that Mr.. Anderson's testimony
before the Congressional was the
G DIS truth. She says politics in Louisiana
were never worse than th-y are in Eastern
Nevada to. day. Half Il dozen peep e tod .er
that Reek was taken out of jnil and went to the
polls and voted. There IS nothing a Eureka
politician won't do for his oHn fDds. There Is
neither Democrat nor Republican when it
comes to making a point. she thinks the
leaders of the party in Eureka favored Pown-
ing over Conpor or Woodburn simply in the
interest of Cassidy. 1t il said that members
of the Republican County Committee openly
supported m-n on the Democratic ticket, and
vice versa. The result is that Cassidy gets big
majorities against any one the Republicans can
put up, and party politics are Of no value.

A Large Body of Rich Ore Tound.

For O week past, says the silver STATE,
rumors have been aioat to the effect that
a large body of ore had been foundi in the
Bullion of Paradise District. Yesterday
the truth of these rumors was confirmed
by q letter received by A. J. Shepard from
Justice Gintz Of Spring City. Mr.. Gintz
says q 12-foot vein of quartz has been
found near the west wall Of the lead. six
feet Of which assys from $500 to 81 900 to
the ton in silver. IL is the largest vein
| vet found st any considerable depth in the
| district, and the ore is as rich AZ any ever
| before found in the Paradise mines. This
/ certainly ought to induce the Paradise
| Valley and other companies. who have
good prospects in the district. to resume
operations on their mines. The mines
produced large quantities of bullion from
orea found near the surface, and Local
companies are the only ones that are try
ing to develop the mines to any great
deptl,
