THE RENO FAIR

The Town Ovsrrun with Lewd w Om-
en-, PImps, Tin-HOrn Gamblers.
Theiver and Tfamps.
The Virginia Report, of Tuesday,
hits some hard ticks, by saying:
The purposes for which the Fair is
ostensibly held, are commendable, but
the purpose to which il is prostituted
are so vile and degrading as to merit
the Censure of every decent person.
Reno, to-day, will average more
vice and depravity to the square inch
than any other town on the face of the
globe. 1t has become, and will con-
tinue for the week, to be the rendez-
vious of all the thieves, lewd women,
pimps, etc., in Nevada, which, in con-
junction with an immense influx of
the same classes from California. max
IS the city reckless cesspool of cor
ruption. The fragrant disregard of all
rules of decency INDUCED in by these
persons End their noxious presence in
all parts of the town, make it impos-
sib!e for people with a modicum of
morality to traverse the streets, with
out having their hearing assailed by
the cOarsest and foulest utterances
that can emanate from these wrecks
of manhsod and womanhood. No eff
fort has been made by the police or
authorities Of the city to restrict these
classes to any prescribed locality. for
they pervade all portions of the town.
The human parasites -tin-horn
gamblers and sure-thing men-who
have been having precarious living
for the past ten months in the various
towns of Nevada through their ''mac
ing" proclivities, are now in Rem
looking for the unwary granger whom
they may rob at 'brace cactus, eight
die or some equally robhing game,
or by the dextrous(2) manipulation of
the pack generally Cold in the num-
erous short-card games into which
the victim may be cnticed. Thieves
are working in the crowds at all
points, ami shop'ifters are giving the
merchants no end Of trunb e.
Still our respectable population
from all over the State ara attending
the Fair. and to the m ,mbers thereof
we would suggest that they keep
tight grip on their pocketbooks and
have nothing tn do with the fasly
strangers who seek to scrape an ac-
quaintance.

BEATS w. VA. LUMBERING.

Some Boston lumbermen cleared
$4,000 on an immense raft OF lum.
Der, floated from Port Joggins, Nova
Scotia, to New York, a distance of
800 miles. The scheme was tried
once before, and the raft drifted into
the ocean where it had to be blown
apart for fear Of wrecking vessels.
The raft was 595 feet long, So feet
broad and SO feet deep-log upon
log,-weight $4,000 tons. The logs
are 40 feet long, IA to 16 inches
thick. The chains which bound the
raft had links one foot long, 6 inches
wide and 2 inches thick. There are
$4,000 logs in the raft; value $4,000.
The logs cost $4,000 on the ground
and $4,000 to build the raft and land
it in New York, leaving a profit of
S21, 900. AS this would revolutionize
the lumber business, steps are being
taken to break it up by law.

TERRIBLE RAILROAD WRECK.

An express train on the Erie Rail.
road ran into a wrecked freight train
at Shehola, Pa, Monday. Thirty.
five people were seriously injured
and a fireman killed. Sixteen valu-
able race horses belonging to Mrs.
Langtry and Fred Gebhardt, inclnd-
ing Eole and Orphan Boy, were
burned to death.
The passenger engine was thrown
down an eighty feet brink of the
Delaware River and was followed
by an express car loaded with sew
enteen horses in care of six men,
and by the baggage, mail, smoking
and first day cars. The wreck down
the bank soon took fire and burned
rapidly in spite of the drenching
rain, and the express, baggage and
smoking cars and tender of the en-
CINE were entirely consumed. The
uninjured passengers and train
hands rushed to the rescue of the
wounded and those imprisoned in
the burning cars. The shrieks and
groans of the wounded and horrid
cries that came from the imprisoned
and burning horses, with the pitch
darkness only relieved by the quick
flashes of lightning, made up an ap.
palling scene. The rescuers worked
like heroes, and, it is believed, saved
all but one man from the burning
wreck. Poor Alexander Newman,
of Port Jervis, N. j., fireman of the
passenger train, was caught under
the tank Of the locomotive and was
burned to a blackened and shapeless
mass. A passenger who vainly tri-
ed to rescue him was charged by
him to deliver parting farewell to
his wife. AS the flames reached the
poor fellow the passengers turned
away from a scene that they had no
heart to witness. Soon after a re.
port like pistol shot was heard,
and it was rumored that Newman
had shot himself to avoid the torture
of the flames. Others say he had
no pistol.
