Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1882-09-29


work of MIR. Charles A. Dana of New
York has been matter Of special salts
ftc'ion to the readers of the Chronicle
and Sentinel. A careful peru>al of the
columns of these two papers cenvinces
Us that Mr.. Dana has withdrawn from
their editorial departments and will
during the campaign devote his whole
time to work on the New York .Sun
! We were first made aware of this
change by the fact that while the Sun
is denouncing the part played by George
Cassidy in vari, u- Congressional Thin
ble-rigging, the Nevada supplements Of
the Sun are upholding his dubious
cause. This is not the only sign Of
Mr. Dana's retirement from Nevada
journalism. The two papers mentioned,
which once were models of concise
English and clear logic, now contain
little else than clumsy abuse Of indi-
vidual>, and TEEN with such glaring
misstatements regarding candidates
that nobody reads them except from
humorous standpoint. The APPEAL,
although sometimes opposing Mr.
Dina, sincerely regrets his departure
from this State, and views with min
gled sorrow and distruSt the hi tus
which his haSty thdrawal from the
Nevada newsp per world has caused.
We can never forget his frankness and
can'lnr in debate, his f,irness, his truth
fitness and honorable conduct i'm heat
ed controversy. We ascertain from
good authority that his suspension from
journals is only temporary, and that he
will enrich the columns of the Chronicle
and Sentinel with occasional contribu-
tions from his own .aper.
The Chronicle makes an attack on
Rev. George r. D,vi-, Republican
nominee for School Trustee, and after
charging him with ming related 10
the editors Of the APPEAL 'd Enter
prise, intimates that he is bad nomi- |
nation for u School Trustee because Of
his profession. Mr.. Davis was apmint-
ed some months ago to fill Il vacancy |
which existed by reason of Gen. Ed
wards resignation, at time when no
one else cared to take the place and
attend to it's duties. The office has n"
aud it is only witt! diff
Guilty that any one in Carson can be
found to accept the position.
The Sentinel reprints from the APP
PEAL the report of Captain MulIan rel
alive to the claims of the State of Ne
vada against the Government, but
leaves out the prai>ing of certain Re
publican State officials for their labors
in behalf Of the State Treasury, ,h,t it
may have the opportunity in the edi-
t. rial columns of giving credit to
George Cassidy. The facts of the case
are that when Cassidy was called upon
for assistance he paid scarcely any at
tention TO the matter, and was only N
luced to do anything after continued

Las evening Arthur A. st. Elmo gave
at the Theatre one of the most
marvellous performances ever wit
messed in this city. The msteriali-
cation Of spirits was very successful, the
manner in which it was done being beyond
the ken Of the audience. The committee OF
citizens who superintendent the tying of St.
Elmo were astounded at the facility with
which he Invested himself of the coils.
Another feature of considerable in
terest was the table lifting. A large
table was entirely raised from
the floor, despite the strenuous efforts of
several parties to hold it down. They were
sent spraTliug across the stage, and the
table was dashed with such violence as to
break 1t.
The entertainment was amusing and in
teresting, and the audience were thoroughly
satisfied with the fairness displayed, Mr.. st.
Elmo carrying out faithfully his promises.
He claims nothing for the manifestations.
He gives the exhibition and leaves it to his
spectators to determine the cause or power.
This evening he will make his farewell ap-
pearance, and those who wish to see one of
the best exhibitions of the kind should at
tend.

The PaAsoVer.

The feast of Passover was commenced
yesterday, the eve of the fifteenth day OF
NIsan. the first month of the Jewish calen-
dar. Passover is one of the most solemn of
Jewish festivals, so called because the De-
stroying Angel passed over the houses Of
the Israelites while he slew the first born
of the Egyptians. It's institution is men
toned IN Exodus xii 8, As; xiii, 5, and is
governed by Leviticus xiii, 4; Numbers
*, 1; Deut. xvi, 1. This festival will last
for eight days, and is commemorative of the
deliverance of the children of Israel cut of
Egypt. During these holidays our Jewish
citizens will eat of mazoths or unleavened
bread, in remembrance OF their hasty de-
parture from Egypt, ~hen the bread with
which they sustained life was baked by the
sun. The first two nights of the Passover
the HagsddalhOr history OF the suffering O
the Israelites under Pharoah will be read,
also a review of the manifold wonders with
which the Almighty worked out their de-
liverance and the many plaques he had
visited on the Egyptians. The feast is gen
orally observed throughout the world by
Israelites, and is beautiful in its form and
customs.

Attempted Assassination In the
Highway.

On Sunday night about eight O'Clock
Frank Desvergers, colored man, was es-
corting two colored girls to st. Philips
Church, on New street, when he encoun-
tered gang of negro men, one of whom
iostled him off the sidewalk. Desvergers,
not wishing to have any trouble
with the rowdies, on account Of
his female friends, made no resistance
to this unprovoked outrage. The party
who evidently wanted row, again endeav-
ored to obstruct his passage, but he moved
aside to pass At this point one of the fell
lows stepped forward and attempted to trip
him up. This was too much, and Desvergers
resisted their further interference, when
another of the gang rushed on him
with a knife and dealt him a severe
blow In the body under the left arm,
making an ugly though not dangerous
wound, in consequence, probably, Of
the knife being small This attack
had scarcely been made when another
of the party, who was standing about
fifteen feet distant, drew pistol and fred
at him, fortunately not striking him. The
would-be assassins, fearing the report would
bring assistance, then rapidly retreated and
succeeded in making their escape, as there
was no policeman in the locality at the time.
What induced the parties to make this at
tack is not known.

Stealing from a sleeping Man,


On Sunday afternoon, whilst Collins Black
was enjoying q snooze on a bench in his
yard on Lovers lane, he was awakened by
feeling some ones hand in his pocket. he
Immediately jumped up, and saw a colored
man, known as E iwsrd Steele, reirea'ing
from the place, and discovered that three
dollars had been taken from his pocket.
He gave chase to the fellow and captured
him. Steele was brought to the city by
several colorsd men and carried to Magls-
trRte Warning Russell's residence, when a
warrant was obtained and he was committed
to jail for trial before the City Court. The
party evidently considered Steele a terrible
character, as he was tied with rope from
head to foot, and could scarcely move. At
the trial in the City Court yesterday after
noon the evidence failed to sustain the
charge against Steele, and he was dis

RaIIrOsd Thieves Convicted and
Sentenced.


Our readers will recollect that mention
was made in the News Of the 18th January
Of the arrest the previous day by Constables
kaufman and Wetherhorn of Richard Moi
fat, Joseph Blackshear and RobertWilliams,
on the charge of stealing lot of brass from
the shops Of the Savannah, Florida and West
ern Railway. The most of the stolen prop
ertY was secured, and the thieves were arrest
ed and jagged. They were indicted by the
grand Jury for burglary and were yes
terday arraigned in the Police Court for
trial. Williams was acquitted, as the evi-
dence showed that he did not steal any Of
tie goods, but that he had received one
dollar for carrying them to a certain place,
being employed by the other parties. 1t
seems that entrance TO the shops was obtain
ed through q sewer, and it is supposed the
parties had been carrying on the stealing
business from the road for some time.
Moffatt and Blackshesr we're convicted, the
latter being recommended to the mercy of
the court. Moffatt was sentenced to fifteen
years in the penitentiary, Blackshear to
ten years in the same institution.

John Williams, colored, whilst coming
into the city on Sunday afternoon, and
when on the canal in the vicinity of the
brick yard, was struck on the hip and pain
fully injured by a ball fred, it is supposed,
by some one who was shooting at some
game. The Injury is not considered seri-

to the report that colored man had been
killed on the canal, mention of which was
made in the NEWS Of yesterday. The party
who fred this accidental shot was not dis
covered, though search was made for him
by the parties who were attracted to the
scene by the cries of Williams for help.
