CONTROLLER nALLOCK.

= j. T. Hsllock, the State Controller
and who is a candidate on the Republican
ticket for reelection, says the Virginia
Enterprise, has been accused of urging
the Washoe County Board of Equaliza.
ton to reduce the assessment on the
Central Pacific Railroad Company in that
county to $4,000 mile. This is one of
those half truths said to be worse than a
lie. For political effect Mr.. Hallock' 5
accuser has deliberately suppressed the
reason which governed the Controllers
action. When he appeared before the
Washoe County Board of Equalization he
told the attorney of the Central Pacific
that if lie would agree to the uniform
valuation Of $4,000 a mile throughout
the State he would be satisfied. In Hum
boldt county the assessment-S6, 900 q
mile-was raised to $1,000 through Mr..
Hallock's complaint. What he did was
in the capacity of a private citizen, as he
had no control officially over railroad as
sessments. He appeared with complaints
before every Board Of Equalization in the
State, but desisted from further work be-
cause the County Boards refused him
their cooperation, and he had no law to
compel them to do anything.
The Carson Appeal, to which we are
indebted to for these facts, in comment
ing on the Virginia Chronicles scurvy
treatment of Mr.. Hallock, published the
following:
The Chronicle clumsily lodges the is
sue on its charges against Controller Hal
lock. Mr.. Hallock agreed to accept a |
SIC, 900 mile valuation, provided it
could be accepted by all the counties in
the State. This would have raised the
valuation one million dollars in Nevada.
Yet the Chronicle takes an isolated case
and tries to prove that Mr.. Hallock was
trying to lower the taxation on railroads.
Mr. Hallock tried to get even niger rates,
but found that the Boards of County
Commissioners, would not act with him.
The Chronicle should scold the Boards,
not Mr.. Hallock.

An original sect is supposed to exist in
Finland, the fundamental principle of
which is the sovereign authority OF woman
in the family. The disciples Of the sect,
whether married or living in concubin.
age, take an oath to submit themselves
entirely to their wife or mistress, and to
confess to her once week. On their
side the women choose one of their mum.

that the men remain faithful to their
oath and to punish them if they trans

devoted to this new religion. The only
analogy to this sect is to be found in 81

The election of Congressman in New
York and Pennsylvania will be watched
with great anxiety by the politicians of
both parties, for there are o number of
close districts in both States, with ma
jorities ranging from 400 to 1000, and
should either party make clean sweep
OF these close districts, it is pretty GER
tain that the successful side will control
the next Congress Owing to the Re-
publicans of New York determining to
overthrow bossism in that State, it is
an assured fact that the Democrats will
elect their candidate for Governor by q
large majority.

A curious experiment Is reported from
Grenslle by the Figaro. Two doctors
have conducted, at the expense of rich
Swedish philanthropist, a series of ex-
periments upon pigs, for the purpose of
ascertaining the effect Of alcohol on the
internal organs of drunkards. Fifteen
pigs were treated daily upon various de-
scriptions Of alcohol, and then killed
after the process of Adjudication had
gone on for some time. Each pig had
a different description of liquor. One
had whisky, another brandy, a third
absinthe, and so on. When killed their
vital organs were found to be marked
with small white spots resembling ulcers.
Their flesh was sound, but when sent TO
market it was seized as unfit for food. A
dispute is now going on between the ex.
perimenters and the police as to whether
the Inspector of the market was not mis-.
taken.

A Washington correspondent Of the
Pittsburg Dispatch says: THE old Chase
mansion, where pretty but reckless Kate
presided few years ago, has been for some
time used as a boarding house; so has the
Catacazy house, where Minister Catacazy
and his beautiful wife entertained foreign
and American dignitaries, and so also
have many others which must bear the
stigma of being hash houses" until they
fall victims to the march of improve
ments and are RACED 70 the =. ground.
Among the old landmarks recently re.
moved was the ,Sickles house, which was
torn down this summer. This house was
for many years an object Of curiosity to
strangers, who used to stare at the win.
dows from which tickle Mrs. Sickles
Haunted her handkerchief as a signal to
Barton Key. The tree round which Bar
ton Key lodged to escape the bullets
fired by Sickles was cut down during the
war by the soldiers who carried it off
picemeal for relics, and after the war
even the roots were dug up and logged
away"

Old Winnemucca, chief of the Piutss,
died near Coppersmith Ranch, Surprise
Valley. After the burial Of the old chief
mob OF women went to the camp and
stoned to death his young wife and her
three year-old child. 1t is said that the
wife and child have been kept close
prisoners for two months awaiting the
result of the old mans illness. The
whites were kept in ignorance of what
was going on until the woman and child
were murdered.

In paper Oh near-sightedness read
before the New York County Medical
Society, DIR. w. F. Mittendorf told of a
fine horse in Berlin that became intract.
able, and on examination proved to be
suffering from myopia. The owner had
pair of glasses made for it, and it be-
came as tractable as ever. American
students, DR.. Mittendorf said, are not SO
subject to near-sightedness as German
students. Sedentary occupations and
want of exercise develop myopia, and
women, therefore are likelier than men
to contract it. 1t generally sets in in
childhood; rarely appears after twenty
years Of age. Blindness often follows
neglect of it. Glasses should be worn
early in life to prevent its progress.
They should be rather weak than strong,
and slight blue tint is desirable. IN.

Herr s. Wolff has lztely advanced, in
the French journal Kosmos, the theory
that the sun spots. instead of being cooler
than the adjacent parts of the solar sur
face, as is generally believed by astron-
omers, represent parts of the sun that are
vastly hotter than the bright portion. Of
the solar surface. They are, according
to Herr Wolf, regions so intensely hot
that all the heat movements emanating
therefrom have reached the intensity Of
the ultra violet, and these being invisible.
the spots consequently appear dark.

Last Sunday afternoon at $3.50 o'clock,
IN Eureka, the accumulation Of the LOGAN
shaft exploded, wrecking the building.
The accumulation burst about thirty feet
below the cap, two sections of ten feet
each and the base below remaining in
tact. The theory is that the explosion
took place at the line where the dir and
water met. About twenty feet Of the
accumulation went into pieces, varying in
weight from some 1900 pounds to an
ounce or half ounce avoirdupois. The
eastern portion Of the works, as men,
toned, was broken down and completely
wrecked. Eight large missiles went
through the building, the two principal
of which through the south and east
ends. The loss to the woodwork is esti-
mated at $1,000. The cost to replace
the part of the accumulation destroyed
will be probably somewhere between
$4,000 and $4,000. The total loss, to
put everything back in smooth running
order again, will not exceed and will not
be likely to reach $50, 900. At the time
of the explosion there were 50 or 40
men in and about the works, and strange
as it may appear, they all escaped I'M
hurt.

John Talboy BinnA, one ef the most
noted characters that ever entered tho
Philadelphia almshouse, died in that
institution Wednesday, aged sixty-nine
years. Believing himself to be woman
and affecting woman's ways, he was
dubbed in the institution with the title
of ''Sallie" Binns. He was admitted
February l6, 1853, and was at that time
forty-one years of age. When young
man he joined an amateur theatrical
club, and the height of his ambition was
to play female characters. He became
quite monomaniac on this subject, and
his infatuation at last took upon itself
mild form Of insanity. and for the greater
part of his life he was thus afflicted. At
all times and on all occasions he believed
himself to be dashing beauty, at whose
feet scores Of ardent suitors knelt, and
upon whom society smiled with favor.
Clad in feminine attire, whenever ball
or concert was given for the patients
he was the centre of attraction. At all
times he affected an effeminate voice in
and acted in every respect
like one of the female sex. The air of
woman never deserted him, and every.
body who visited the house called on
'Sallie" and purchased specimens Of his
considering it rare curios-
ty as coming from the hand of man
who considered himself woman. Bal. |

They repeatedly kicked each other, and
finally one horse fell into ditch beside the
railroad, the other breaking away and run
ming mile further before he was caught
The first horse was badly injured and will
probably have to be killed. The affair hap
