CARSON. Sept. 18th, 1884.
The Coffin divorce suit in this city,
even the mention Of which made the
malicious Islander mongers water at the
mouth, was decided last Monday, a di.
yorce granted and no one knew any.
thing about it until the Carson papers
stated merely that the thing had been
done. The defendant in the suit arriv.
ed at Reno from New York a few days
ago but did not venture to face her old
friends at Carson. 1t is minated that
a man intimately connected with the
suit, or rather who had a. much to do
with it as any one to bring ii about, had
to pungie pretty smartly 10 the defend.
ant to keep her from appearing in court.
This may be true or not, but it is gencr.
ally supposed that her mouth was seal.

husband didn't furnish it either. Had
the case been taken into court it would
have kicked up lively rumpus in sew.
eral high toned families here.
1t is currently stated that the political
reasons why JET Worth was removed
from the SAFE Prison by warden Bell,
is because he expressed himself as be-
ing against Powning for Congress.
That's poor excuse for removing a
good officer as every Republican who
wished Cassidy defeated this Fall had
good reasons for not choosing Powning
for the Republican Congressional NOM
inec.
am heartily glad that the County
Central Committee held have pounced
on the Crawford plan for running our
primaries, although there was much
opposition to it, especially from the
young man who just row is running the
7,i6nns; but he was severely sat upon
and became indignant until DR.. Lee re.
vived his spirits wrlh a little gin and
sugar, which he is using incidentally.
The Crawford plan is going TO work
we'll, ISrow, and bind the cranky ele.
ment in our party so tightly they won't
be able to kick on election day. The
Crawford plan was taken up to concili.
ate the cianks more than for any hing
else, and they won't make anything by
it. To those who never boiled belong
the "spoils." They say that the Re-
pubhcans OF the Virginia & Truck-e
Railroad and the Mint employees will
almost vote as an unit, which is power
in itself.
have found out to my satisfaction
that tho semi.annual cry of "Railroad
Star chamber busin 49," has been Il
gross injustice to Mr.. bennington. He
is representing great interests in this
county and has right to see that they
are substantially protected. and only to
that extent did he ever interfere in our
matters political, as any other prudent
business man would do. But this year
he keeps entirely from pudding in the
muddy slough and will entrust his in.
terests in the hands Of his friends. II
they can protect him as we'll as he can
himself, there is probability that he'll
have nothing more to do with the
"machine.
Three Of the oldest conductors on the
V & T. r. H., Thrall, Hayenor and
Follett, were "let out" today. No one
can tell the cause. The "hred ones"
have been hunting Mr.. Yerrington all
day to be told OF the cause of their dis.
missal, but they did not find the Super.
intendent. There are many rumors
aaoal regarding their dismissal, bu, no
one believes that it reflects upon their
integrity. REPUBLICAN.
