ssrs Neenau vs.. the savage.

A Jury was secured in the case OF
Mrs. Neenan VS.. the Savage Mining
Company yesterday and the exam
ination of witnesses began in the U.
S. Circuit Court. The state OF the
facts shown are about as follows ::
andy Neenan, the deceased. was
the station master at the head OF
the incline and lost his life by
being thrown from the giraffe into
the ore chute. The plaintiff claims
that the engineer ho;sted the
giraffe when it should have been
lowered, thus causing the death OF
Neeuan. The engineer claims that
he got three bella from Neenan,
which was signal to hoist under
an agreement made the day before
between Neenan and himself.
There is q regular code of signals
all along the lode, but it is custom
airy for men who ring bells to agree
upon q different schedule if they
think it be ter suits the mine they
work in. Under the old rule three
be Is meant to return the giraffe
from the ore chute to the 10th
station, about GO feet below, but
under the new arrangement three
bells meant to go up. The giraffe
was at the chute when James Gra-
ham, the engineer, got three bells
and hoisted. The giraffe struck the
shelves, dumped Neensn out and
crushed in his skull. He was
afterwards found at the bottom of
the chute, dead. The engineer ad-
mits, however, that the indicator
showed that the giraffe was Already
at the chute as high as it ought to
g.. He II ticed the indicator
showed this, but lett his engine to
get something and just as he re-
turned heard three bells. He
hastily obeyed the signal without
looking at the indicator and Neenan
was XII led. The case will be re-
sumed this morning.

Newspaper Advertising.

The City Trustees last month
ordered m advertisement published
in the newspapers of the city, and
1T their last meeting refused to pay
for it, on the grounds that the pa
pers ought to do such work free.
Such a reply to bill for work
ordered and performed is pecu lar,
to say the least. Suppose a news
paper publisher should order a bill
of goods at ore of the stores of a
City Trustee aud decline to pay for
it on similar grounds. He would
be compelled to pay in court Of
law. Newspaper advertising has
Just "a much q commercial value

audience which left standing room

lectual face, and her earnest inter-

lasting impression upon her audi

her voice is something marvellous
in its purity of tone, such a voice
as must have entrauced the sailors
who could not pass Caprea. It

A PREACHING PUGlLisT.

He Tells OF His Great Mill " ith
l. the Devil.
| Jerry McAuley the reformed
prize fighter. is now preaching ser
mons on Billy MEG ory's den in
New York and hundreds of tough
characters of both sexes 60 there
every Sunday night to sing hymns
ami hear McAuley preach. Some
years ago there was qnite a sermon
preached by Bill Davis, the pugi-
list, at National Guard Hall, Vir-
ginia City. Rev. McGrath used to
conduct a sort of Free Thinkers
Church there every Sunday night
and many Of the sporting fraternity
attended. One night he saw Bill
Davis in the audience singing
"Safe in the Promised Land" with
great gusto. and called on him to
tell his experience
BILL TUSSLE WITH SATAN.
Davis had quite voluble tongue
when he got warmed up and he
took the floor ut once. AS near as
the writer can quote from memory,
his discourse ran in this vein:
Boys, since I won my last
match I've been changed man. l
don't allude to my big mill with
Mike McCool in St. Louis. l had
bigger fight than that. It was
square fight with the Devil and I
Won the stakes. Applause. The
Devil used to bang me about as he
wanted 10, until I made up my
mind to give him a rattle I called
on o preacher in st. Louis. told
him what l wanted and pnt myself
in training under him. He worked
me up in good shape and ! was in
condition in a few IN nths. When
he worked the sinful f It off me and
got me down to nv fighting weight
I felt proud of MY self Vel, I
tackled my man. and it was the
slugginis' fight [ ever had. Nc
Cool was q mere kitten alongside Of
him. He got ny head in chancery
a good many times, but l managed
to give him the back fall every
time and down him. Some times
he drove me to my corner and L
wanted to throw up the sponge,
but nv hacker, the lit preacher,
handled me like a dandy and
won dn't allow me to weaken. Oh,
bows, it w.s awful work for lin ost
year. My wind was giving out
and came up blind and groggy
after every round. but my sand
held good. Applause al over the
room. The Devil is awful in a
f2ht, his upper cuts make your
teeth rattle in your jaw like the
end man paying the bones. and
his cross counters. oh. Heavens !!
His cross counters came in like pie
drivers.
THE FINAL ROUND.
"But l frightened my gospel belt
and my gamey little second kept
telling me that he was pra ing for
ne ali the while. He said | must
let up on whisky or | was gone.
Well, I quit drinking and got my
second wind. I fought my man to
standstill [great excitement: and
then / began to punish him big. I
