worthy she is of the title Of Queen
Of the Bicycle and Unicycle. y
Her beauty, grace and lady-like de-
meanor, her artistic posings and
amazing performances on the bi

Of all who we're present. She has

4 Report Of Fairs Assassfna-
ffAu.

a Report Of Fairs Assassfna.
| item.
Yesterday afternoon the report
was circulated about Carson, that
Senator Fair had been assassinated
by Philo Knapp in Virginia City.
Later it was modified BY the
statement that Knapp had at
teupted to kill Fair and had not
succeeded.
The next report was that Knapp
had started to kill Fair and been
killed by one of the Senator's body
guards.
The APPEAL received the fol-
lowing version last evening, which
is probably nearer correct.
Fair was walking along with
party when Philo Knapp. the
soda water man, was observed
lodging him. As Knapp had
openly said he would kill Fair on
sight his actions were regarded as
suspicious, and he was arrested.
When taken to the station house
a revolver was found in his possess
ion. The trouble is said to have
grown out of stock transaction.

! Alfred Tennyson the poet leau
reate Of England, has written tn
following
THE FLEET ON ITS REPORTED IN
EFFICIENCY.
You, you who have failed to under
stand
The feet Of England is her all in all,
On you will come the curse of all tn,
Which Nelson left SO great.
This isle, the mighties: naval powel
on earth.
This one small isle the lord OF ever,
Poor England! what avail thine ancient
fame of free
Vert thou q fallen State?
You, who had the ordering Of her fleet
II you have only comprised her dis
grace,
When all men starve the wild mob's
million feet
Will kick you from your place,
But then too late, too late!e
On the cabeling of the poem to
St. Petersburg, the Gar called a
meeting Of the Cabinet, and after
reading the poem, a dispatch was
sent to Gladstone to ascertain
whether or not the Government
was responsible for the work. If
Tennyson is still in the pay of the
Crown; war will be immediately de-
clared, unless the House votes to
rescind half of his salary and apol-
ogize to Russia. If the Govern.
ment do not renounce all response
bility in the matter, and deliver
Tennyson over to Russia, hostilities
will begin at once.
The poem was also telegraphed
to the United States, but Congress
will not declare war on England
now that she has so much fighting
on her hands, but simply ask for a
few millions indemnity as it did in
the Alabama question: Transla-
lions of the poem are being circu-
lated among the Russian peasantry
and the universal response is On
to Herat.

A CARSON NUMEsMATIsT.

, DR.. Lees Collection OF Rare Coin
and Metals
Yesterday DR.. Lee received frou
the Philadelphia Mint five bronz
medals, which are very much ad
mired as specimens of art.
These medals are stricken off b,
the Government from time to time
to commemorate some notable
event, or compliment some man O
national reputation.
The guage Of these medals is OF
a scale of regular inches and six,
teenths. The oldest medal is six.
teen sixteenths, or one inch, and
commentaries the first application
of steam to coinage, which was in
the Philadelphia Mint, March 23d
1886.
The next in size is one inch and
two sixteenths, and on the diverse
side is head Of Washington with
the inscription, "The Constitution
is Sacredly Obligatory Upon All, .
and another bears the date Sept.
! I'd, 1861, of the first oath of alleg-
lance to the United States, taken
by the officers and employees of
the Mint.
The next is the Grant medal.
measuring twentv-nine sixteenths
The diverse is a bust Of Grant.
The reverse is a wreath of laurels
and the words, Let us Have
Peace. "
The Lincoln medal is dated 1862.
Around the bust of Lincoln are
the words, Abraham Lincoln,
President of the United States
On the reverse is an allegorical rep
resentation of the Blackhawk War,
in which Lincoln was an officer.
This is two and one half inches in
diameter.
The finest medal Of the collec-
ton is one of Grant three inches
across. 1t is a splendid head of
the General with the name Ulysses
S. Grant on one side and the re-
verse the dates of his two inaugur-
ais.
The Seward Robinson medal
was striker by order of Congress,
and is the only one of the kind
ever executed to commemorate an
unofficial incident. The diverse is |
a bust of Seward, the reverse rep
resents the memorable scene where
Private George F. Robinson risked
his life to defend Seward from a
would be assassin. 1t is three /.
inches in diameter.
The Dr.. also has q half dollar
of 1897, for which he paid $28 60
It was received at an auction sale
at St. Louis of the effects of Buck
ley, famous coin collector, who
paid $40 for it.
The DR.. is now on the track of a
half dollar of 1896, which if he
6nds will cost him $50, and this
will complete his series of that
issue.
The medals are 70 parts copper
and 80 tin, as rule, but the ad-
lition of tin makes them lighter
olive color, which rather improves
hem.
The DR.. is an absolute mono
maniac on the question of rare
coins, and will put up a whole
stack of new money in exchange
Tor an old battered coin, covered
With grease and verdigris, that
vas made on an old piece of ma
,hinery, like a cider press, hun

Ed. Loose
Ed. Loose, man we'll known j
this city, and formerly a miner o
the Comstock, who acted as secon
for Sleeves, in the Hones-Skewe
prize fight, was shot in Bodie O
Wednesday. The Free Press give
the following particulars
This morning G. Z. Loose, one o
the nominees for Sheriff in the lat
election and IL old resident OF Be-
die, was shot down like dog undo
circumstances that provokes cen
sure or condemnation of the woult
be murderer from all who gained
the particulars. It appears tina
Loose was asked by John Farrell
an acquaintance, to take walk OF
the hill, for no other purpose thar
merely exercise, The two proceed
| ed up to the Champion mine and
from thence toward the Addenda
When near the latter works they
met Pat Curtis, who is employed
as Waterman of the same. Nothing
was said except passing the usual
salutations. The first two contin-
ued until they reached the dump
when Farrell inquired of Loose the
name Of the mine and both were
engaged in looking at the rock. At
this instant Curtis, who must have
returned quickly to the works. ap-
peared with a shot gun, both bar
rels on full cock, exclaiming:
"Get off that dump, God d--n
you ; go away from there, [ tell
you
Loose being only twenty feet dis
tant from the murderous weapon
said
What do you mean? You can
order me off without shot gun,
Only a few other words passed,
the same in substance as above,
when Curtis suddenly fed big
load of buck shot which riddled
the flesh and muscle of Loose's
right arm near the shoulder, and
cutting the coat under the armpit,
also the lapel in front, almost into
fragments. Loose fell off the dump
when Curtis Immediately advanced
to within about ten feet of the fall
en- man ana discharged the second
barrel the contents of which took
almost precisely the same effect in
the left arm. except that the shot
;ore away more Of the sleeve, only
grazing the body Of the coat. As
his shot vas fired Farrell ex-
claimed:
For Gods sake don't shoot a
lead man !"
Curtis replied as he threw in
'resh cartridges
"Get away from here, or you will
ret dose yourself.
Loose gained his feet in an in |
'tant and started for town. DR..
Rogers examined the wounds and
$ of the opinion that no bones are
although some are probably |
,razed by the bullets. Of all the |
narrow escapes from instant death
his is the finest call on record in |

Returns from the various counties in
this State came in very slowly. From
what have been received, however, it can
be seen that Quay Rep.), for State
Treasurer, will have a majority of at
least 81, 600, with a strong probability
that that figure will be exceeded. All
changes in figures show Republican
gains over the majorities as telegraphed
Tuesday night. Official returns from
twenty five counties and revised esti-
mates from the remainder give Quay,
the Republican candidate for State Trea-
surer, 1861 plurality over Day, the
Democratic candidate. 1t is probable
that the official returns will increase
Quay's plurality to 10000. The Repub-
licans of Philadelphia elected William
Ellwood Rowan sheziff of the city, VIM.
b. kinsey Register of Wills and Frank
Bell City Treasurer, and rolled up
handsome majority for Matthew Stanley
Quay as Treasurer of the State. 1t was
a most complete victory. Against the
bitter opposition of the Committee of
Thirty, the scufrillous campaign of the
leaders of the Democratic party, and the
opposition of the Pugwump element, the
Republican ticket went through with
rush; and SO thorough was the defeat of
the Democrats that their leading candi-
dates last night kept themselves hidden
from public view. The maligned paper
hanger was elevated by popular vote to

latter was so earnest and bound to have
his own way that the court was com
PEELED to listen to the lawyer then and
