A Painful Accident.

A painful and what was for q time be-
lieved to be a serious accident happened TO
Mr.. NJ. P. Murphy last Thursday night
when the fire alarm was sounded. He is
an active member Of the Hooks and
Kuicks, and when the bell on the Rescue
hosehouse rang he fastened out of Luther
Clarke's saloon and ran at full speed down
Main street. The night was a dark me,
and when in front Of Wells. Fargo *
Co.'s Office he fell over a beer key that lay
in the center of the sidewalk. So forcibly
was he thrown, first against an awning
post and afterwards over the key, that for
a moment he was unconscious. He re-
ceived a number of painful cuts and
bruises about the face and head, and the
flesh of the calf of his left leg was laid
open to the bone and fully five inches in
length. A doctor was at once summoned,
and the injured man removed to his home
on CLARK street, where he is still unable to
move without assistance. The key over
which he fell had come in on the White
Pine stage coach only a short time pre-
vious, and having rolled to the center OF
the sidewalk was allowed TO remain there.

SPECIAL TO THE sENTINEL.I
SAN Francisco, Oct. 23.-Cspt. John j.
Ellis, OF the British bark Buteshire, re-
Gently from Panama, in ballast, vent on
board Of his vessel last evening and found
the crew engaged in a quarrel. Sam
Collymore, a negro sailor, had a capstsn
bar raised and was advancing to attack
the first mate, who stood near the Captain
The latter fired q shot in the air to brighten
the negro, when Collymore dropped the
bar and rushed on the Captain with q
drawn knife. When he got within a few
feet OF his intended victim the Captain
fred another shot from his revolver and
killed him instantly. The bullet struck
him at the base of his neck on the left
side, and must have severed the artery.
The Captain delivered himself to the
police Immediately after the shooting, and
is now in Jail. His story as above is cor
roborated by the first mate and several
members Of the crew. The Captain states
that Oollymore had made threats against
his life, owing to being refused his discharge
at this port. The matter was reported to
the British Consulate, who advised that
Captain Ellis, on the first attempt oil
violence on the part Of Collymore, to
shoot him. This the Captain says is what
he did in pure self-defense.

Cause of LongIey's Death.

AL Longley's sudden death at his ranch
near Reno, during the night of October
IS, noted in Fridays SENTINEL, attributed
bv its informant to natural causes, now
proves to have been violent. A Coroner's
inquest returned the following verdict:
"We find that said Longley was a native
Of Kentucky, aged So years; that he came
to his death this 10th day of October,
1886, in said Washoe county, from a gun
shot wound in the head. We further find
that the shooting was accidental, arising
from a mis-step or fall in the dark" The
Reno Journal says: Some imagine that
AL shot himself while in q mt Of temporary
insanity, but no man in this county had
less reason to be insane or to commit
suicide. He was one Of the most prosper
GUS farmers in the county, and his family
relations were especially pleasant.

the Commons which he contested for In
the recent election against Charles Edward
Lewis, a Conservative. Lewis has sat for

Lewis 1871 votes and MCCARTHY Its,
and the seat was awarded to the former,
who, up to date, has occupied it, although
Mccarthy at once entered a protest and
has ever since been pushing his claim to
the scat, basing his case largely upon allie
cations of illegal el%ectioneering methods.
To-day Lewis counsel abandoned his
clients claim, and the seat was declared to
be McCarthy's. The case has been warmly
contested from the start, and the announce
ment of the result has caused much excite

Rogus ELECTION Tickets.

There seems to be a misunderstanding
in regard to the use of tickets at the COM
ing election, purporting to be OF one party
with the names OF the nominees of the
other party printed thereon, some holding
that ii a ballot of that character is cast 1t
will be thrown out. This il not the law.
1t is, however, unlawful for any person to
print or cause to be printed, distribute or
cause TO be distributed, or have in his
possession with intent to use any such
ballot, and an infringement subjects the
guilty party to a fine of not less than $25
or more than $500, or imprisonment not
to exceed six months, or both fine and i'm
prisonment. Any one may, however,
erase the printed name of any candi-
date on any regular ticket and insert the
name of his opponent in writing, with
either pencil or ink.

APoSTRoPHE TO NEW ENGLAND

The following poetical gem was recited
by Gen. G.. w. Grandey in the course of
his felicitous remarks at the celebration
of Forefathers' day, here, last week. He
was induced after some persuasion to
give them to friend, who brings us a
copy for publication. We know not
where the lines live except in the MEM
Dry of Gen. Grandey. lie attributes
them to the pen of John G.. Whittier, as
a fragment of fugitive newspaper poem
by him forty years or more ago:
Land OF the forest and the rock,
OF dark blue lake and noble river,
OF mountains reared aloft to mock
The storms career, the lghtning's shock
My own green land forever
Land of the beautiful and brave
The freeman's home, the martyrs grave;
The nursery of giant men
Whose deeds have linked with every glen,
And every hill and every stream
The romance of some warrior dream
Oh never may child of thine,
Where'er his wandering steps incline,
Forget the sky, which bent above
His childhood like a dream of love.

comparing them with the prices of to-day.

the accounts were of a general character.
As ladies should always come first,

one cents per yard; ginghams, forty

Distribution of Electricity.

A patent has been issued to George
Westinghouse, Jr., of Pittsburg, Pa,
the inventor of the Westinghouse air
brake, for new system of distributing
electricity, to be used in lighting and
for other other purposes-a system
which, it is said, will greatly cheaper
the electric light and render it a more
dangerous rival of illuminating gas than
it has yet become. The new invention
will, it is alleged, effect a saving OF
about 50 per cent in distributing main
wires as compared with the Edison
"three- wire system"
