Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1884-11-30

The sensation of Paris is the re-
cent shooting Of Commission
Agent, named Marvin, by a lady
whom he had slandered. Morris
was being sued for defamation of
character and the case had been
delayed by every conceivable trick
of the defendants lawyers, and
the lady at last becoming impatient
of the tardy course Of Justice, put
six bullets into the man Marvin.
The tragedy occurred day before
yesterday. The lady, Madame
Hughes, is the wife of Deputy
CLOVIS Hughes, and public sympa-
thy is with her, and it is intensified
by the fact that du ing the cholera
epidemic, Hughes and his wife de-
votedly nursed the patients.

REPUB LICAN CON TRIR u
TORS.

Eastern newspapers are publish
ing the names of those who con
tributed most to the Republican
campaign fund, not mentioning Of
course the voluntary cont,;bu.
tions" of Federal office holders.
They say the largest contribution
to the party was that of Levi P.
Morton, which amounted to about
s25,OOO. He gave it in three !,
four parcels, He probe',.,Ilv cave
$4,000 to ber,: with, 5000 next
anH. perhaps $4,000 more in one OF
two installments.
The next largest sum Of money
was probably given to the cause by
John Jacob Astar, He gave, it may
be, about $4,000. It seems that
he estimated bis money, or rather
esteemed it. and it came out slowly.
Jay Gould gave very little money
to the Republican National Com
mittee, and every time they asked
him for anything he wanted to
know all their secrets. They were
afraid of him, and feared that he
was getting points to work stocks
with or to advise the enemies of
Mr.. Blaine. The members Of the
committee who asked him for mon
ey were on the point once or twice
Of telling him to keep his money
and expect no information. They
did, however, get a considerable
idea of Gould's commercial and
trading character. He inspired no
confidence in the Republican side.
Mr.. Arthur gave nothing. It is
believed that Gould gave no money
whatever of his own, but compelled
his assistants who were doing well
under him to pay up.
Vanderbilt gave nothing what
eyer to the Republicans, and the
Republicans do not believe that he !
gave anything to the Democrats. |
Several of the bankers, who in
flush years did we'll for the. Repub-
leans, gave not Of their own mon
ey, but went around and collected
it among their depositors and
clients. General Grant, with a res
olute spirit to support his party,
came with lame leg and called on
Blaine. Afterward the Conkling
influence had a forged paper
brought to bear on Grant.

In the suit instituted in the hope
Of making T. W. Bert Of the Cali
fornia Theater pay his rent bill,
letters written by Berts former
principal, Mcconnell, were read,
and, in commenting on these. the
Court remarked that ''McConnell
seemed to be disguised with Bert's
operations" If any man can be
found who is familiar with Bert $
operations and not disguised there
with, he ought to be puton exhbi-
ton In a cage at Woodward Gar
deus. He would be rare curios-
ity.

As rule the new police Jurors are
good men, and we doubt not will
prove themselves efficient officers,
but we must say that we think the
old members have been most upcere-
moniously bounced. Grant parish
never had a better police jury than
the one which has served her for the
past four years. By their good man
agement and patriotic efforts the
parish has been ridden of burden
some debt, and onr jury warrants
have been raised from 40 and 80
cents to cash valuation of from 80
to 80 cents. Let the new members
show as good record and the reo-
pie will be fully satisfied with their
services

Held without Baii.

At the preliminary trial last Satur
day of Ben Allen. Dan vandyke,
Captain Long and Wiley Carter, col.
ored, charged with the murder OF
VIM. Brown. colored, it was proved
conclusively that Brown was murder
ed. The evidence pointed directly at
Ben Allen as the party by whom the
death blows were inflicted, aud,
while there were good grounds to be-
lieve the others were implicated,
there was no direct proof against
them. Ben Allen was remanded to
Jail without the benefit of bail, while
the others were allowed to give bond
in the sum of $3.50 each for their ap-
pearance at district court.
The evidence of DR.. Williams, by
whom the body was examined and
post norton made, showed conclu
sively that Brown came to his death
by violence, the head being severity
bruised in two places, the neck
broken, and the body bruised in
three or four places. The testimony
Of Charles Rogers. a colored boy
about II years old, who saw Allen
strike and Brown fall, corroborated
the testimony of DR.. Williams in an
important particular.
The testimony of the boy, Rogers,
struck every listener as being straight
forward and truthful, but it appears
to have been very differently viewed
by Attorney EGG. Hunter, who had the
boy arrested on the charge of PERU
ry. Rogers gave bond to answer the
charge at the next term of district
court. We are OF the opinion that
Mr.. Hunter allowed his zeal in behalf
Of his clients to get the better of his
Judgment when he made this charge.
If attorneys are allowed to shut of
important witnesses by such sum-
mary acts the enforcement of the laws
will soon become farce.

nom Alexandria, and of course they
had to cross Saddle bayou. They
had trouble. The bridge is gone, Oh
rather. it is floorless. They had to
lord the bayou. 1t is DOGGY and they
stuck. That ruffied their temper
somewhat. and they said some hard
things abont Grant parish authors
ties. We appeal to the police jury of
Grant parish to put that bridge in
order, and save their official reputa-
tion.-Winnfield Sentinel.

A lot of male and female tramps,
claiming to be Turks. made their adj
vent into Colfax last Saturday after
noon and remained over Sunday.
There were twelve or fifteen in all,
men, women and children. Their
outfit consisted of four vehicles,
eight or ten ponies, diminutive
mule, six bears. two or three monkeys,
and dog or two. By profession
they appear to be beggars. as that
seemed to be the chief employment
Of big. little. old and young. while
they remained in this vicinity. They
make pretense of earning living by
exhibiting their bears, but a poorer
show or q more brutal exhibition we
have never witnessed. Humanity
revolts at the treatment the dumb
brutes receive at their hands, and
they certainly violate the law probib-
ting cruelty to animals every time
they 60 through the farce of "mak-
ing the bears dance" the antics cut
up by the beasts being nothing but
contortions of the body on account
Of the pain inflicted on them By their
cruel masters.
On Sunday, while performing, y
the largest bear jerked the ring out
OF his nose, and, fuding himself free,
turned upon his tormentor in fury
and proceeded to get even by making
meal of the mans shoulder. Had
it not been for the muzzle which pre-
vented Bruin from using his jaws AZ
he had full desire to do, the man
could hardly have escaped with bis
life, the bear being one of the largest
and most powerful we have ever seen,
As it was, the wounds inflicted before
the attendants could secure his beaI .
ship are both severe and dangerous
