WASHINGTON, Juno 50, 1868.
The proclamation to postmSstcrs
concerning the unavailable character
of envelopes containing offensive
matter written or printed OH them is
needed in largo class of cases. Two
men, for example, have dispute
over nm account, which remains un.
settled il consequence. The one
who considers himself n creditor
goes to IN agency. The agency, if it
follows the course against which the
proclamation is, in part, directed,
first sends through the mails lie
mand for The amount In controversy,
enclosed in an envelope rather con.
spicuous for its shape, size and color.
and with such words rs ''Blank's
Collection Agency in heavy black
lettors on its face. If y speedy re
spouse is not forthcoming another
demand arrivesJ iii still moro con
spicuous envelope; containing the
name Of the agency and some phrase
like Second Notice to Delinquent
Debtors" This demand cncloscs a
third envelope, covered with refer
encos to "Bad Debts Dead Beats
"Black legs" "Sneaks," "Frauds."
etc, SO couchcd as just to curAe out

State where the agencJ is situated,

ed in typo which catches every oye;

leaders will wait until Mr.. Mckinley
and other Republicans have had a
few days to recover from the fatigue

would be very odd if, before the
close OF the present Administration,
Secretary Bayard should become
President Cleveland's father-in-law
through his marriage with Mrs.
Folsom A story to this effect has
been floating about Washington for
several weeks.
1t is said Mrs. Folsom's present
trip to Europe is for the purpose OF
securing her wedding trodsseau,
and an announcement to this effect
was made recently at West End
tea.
Mrs. Folsom is lady about $40
years of age. Mr.. Bayard IS 90
and President Cleveland is so.

The Eureka Os,trege.

This is all tho Grand Jury of
Eureka were able to find out about
the tar and feather outrage:
On the night of the 3rd of Janu-
airy last, Phillip Psroni was seized
by q band of masked armed men,
taken to the outskirts of town,
stripped half naked, besmeared
with tar. and with his hands bound
behind him, under threats of death
if he returned to town, left to perish
in the storm and cold.
We have investigated this affair,
and while keenly realizing the
stigma of disgrace under which this
community continues while the per-
petrators OF this cowardly and in
human outrage are undetected and
UNPUBLISHED, are compelled to re-
port that we have been unable to
secure testimony sufficient to war
rant the Indictment of the parties
concerned therein.
We therefore earnestly recon-
mend the law officers OF this county
to use their most persistent efforts
to obtain testimony in this case
until the guilty parties are brought
to trial and punished as they de-
serve.
Herewith please Gnd the reports
of the various committees Re-
specially,

Rough Case.
A. SKILLMAN, Secretary.

A strange story comes from En-
pire. 1t is claimed that on last
Friday evening a women OF the
town in this city purchased ticket
for Reno, but being drunk when she
reached the depot, took the wrong
train and went to Empire. The
conductor noticing her mistake put
her off at Empire at her request.
That night it is alleged, she was
found in half drunken condition
and outraged by gang of men.
She then wandered off in the hills
and has not been heard OF since.
Several parties have been searching
for her and it is feared that she
perIshed in the cold, or was drown
ed in the Carson river.

Obliged to Use Smaller Pipe

/ Yesterday the well borers were
oblige,. to take out $50 feet OF Pinch
pipe to the prospect we'll in order to
reach the point where their drill had
penetrated 1876 feet from the sur
face. The 3-inch pipe had been
driven to the first quartz, which
was eight feet thick. They were
unat;le 10 drive the pipe any fur
ther, as the drill, in order to 60
down inside the pipe, must of a
necessity be smaller, AS the hole in
the rock is trifie smaller than the
pipe. soft ground WAS encoun-
tered after passing the second
Stringer, which must he piped and
shut Off in order that when the min
eral ledge is reached nothing above

Say By lowering a pinch pipe
down tbs inside OF the first and
through the hole in the first and
second stringers, they will be
able With smaller drill, to push |
right ahead. Yesterday a smaller
drill head VAS ordered at the ma
chine shops, and If nothing happens
to delay they will be able to push |
right ahead to the point where they
expect to reach thu ledge proper.

ond highest bridge on the Pacific

twelve feet high and one hundred

Snags Struck by MIR. Carlisle.

OF course this is an era of good feeling,
and nobody must think of shaking the
bloody shirt-otherwise it might seem
strange to announce in The Tribune that
o one-legged Confederate soldier named
Stone is the new chairman Of the COM
mittee on war claims. Mr.. Stone is a
good man.
Perhaps one Of the most humorous in
cidents in the making up of the commit.
tees was the snags that Mr.. Carlisle
struck when he first designated the chair
man Of the committee on naval affairs
and military affairs respectively 1t was
all right for him to assign dry land
sailor, Col. Herbert, to the craftsmanship
Of naval affairs, but 1t was all wrong
when he undertook to assign Gen.
Wheeler, graduate of West Point and
one of the. most distinguished officers on
the Confederate side during the war, to
the Craftsmanship of military affairs. If
the naval affairs of the country are safe in
Herbert's hands, certainly the army is
safe In Wheeler's hands. The ridiculous
aspect of the case appears when one looks
ut the Craftsmanship Of military affairs
and finds 1t held by Richard w. Towns.
