Carter, who had his head pulled off
in the Idaho mine at the time of the
fire, seems to have felt an internal
warning of his fate. The Grass VAL
ley Union says: The unfortunate
young engineer, Carter, whose awful
death has been a subject of general
commiseration, seemed to have had
a presentiment of evil. as when he
went to his work on Monday he ex-
pressed an indisposition to go, al
though in good health, and after he
had gone a little way from the house
returned and kissed his wife and
said "Good-by" as he turned te
leave her.

oaused By the ExpIe.soa Of Powder.

taused By the Explosion OF Powder.
About 1;30 o'clock last Sunday
morning IN alarm was sounded by
Rescue Hose Cos bell, which proved
to be a fire in the Italian row Of houses
on Monroe street. The occupants OF
the house-Angelo Guelf, his wife
and three children-claim that they
were awakened by the dull thud of an
explosion, which shattered and set
fire to the entire building. The hose
companies were promptly IN hand
and soon had the fire under control.
The building an entire loss, was
owned by Mrs. Rossi, and was in
sured for s40O.
The Guelf family were all sleeping
in n room on the south side OF the
building, and were not injured by the
explosion or the fire, and Immediately
made their escape from the burning
building. After which Mr.. Guelf, in
endeavoring to save something, went
into the building and was badly burned
about the face, hands and feet.
Mr.. Guelf is of the opinion that
pohueI was pldCcu III Tic ioftii chu VI
the building, by an enemy, with the
intention of killing him, and perhaps
the entire family. He claims to have
strong suspicion of the party who
placed the powder there. We hope
he has, and that the guilty party may
be brought to Justice and severely
punished. This kind of Nihilism
should not be permitted in any re-
spectacle community, and we hope
BUR officers will be untiring in their
efforts to arrest the dynamiter.
The building where the explosion
took place has a little bit OF history,
being the same from whence poor
Phil Paroni was dragged out by half a
dozen citizens, in a driving s%nowstorm,
thinly clad, and marched out to the
powder house," where they stripped
him to the buff and put tar and paper
on his bare body, tied his hands be-
hind him, and left him there to per-
ish. But Phil was made of better
material than his torturers had cal
culated on, and he didn't perish. None
of the perpetrators Of the develish
deed have ever been punished.

A Home Call Upon our Charity.

Here we have a calamity at home,
says the Virginia Enterprise. In Seat
tie are many former residents of the
Comstock, and of all parts of Nevada
persons well known to BUR people.
Not only many of these, but thous-
ands of others will be left destitute
and in need of aid, therefore-while
not forgetting the sufferers from the
food in the East-we would suggest to
our people to so divide the amount
they may feel able to spare to the
present urgent demands on their
charity as to give the larger part to
the distressed whose calls are nearest
our W doors. We must extend aid
to our neighbors, whose calls are near,
before stretching our hands across the
continent. There all the cities Of
the populous East are pouring in con-
tributions for the relief OF the destitute +;
here aid must be given by the widely
scattered and thinly settled towns OF
the West. 1t is poor charity that
strides over the PROSTATE body of a
starving next-door neighbor to give
aid to a man in the next county, how
ever worthy of assistance the distant
object may be.

Captain Jim Gets Mad.

Some one has evidently been tread
ing ON the toes of Captain Jim Town
send of Homer Index. He thus turns
loose: There is a class of men, in
creasing every year, who for a con-
sideration will besmirch a mine or
land it to the skies. These fellows
talk flippantly Of large sums of money,
examine things with owlish gravity,
make a few notes with o%stentation and
go off to write a report" They
don't know any more about mining
than a cross-eyed blow-fy knows
about the aurora borealis, but like
that industrious pest, they make a
good deal OF trouble all the same.

Liquor was responsible for the loss
of at least 5000 lives during the Johns

the saloons, and at the time OF the

unable to save themselves, and caught
and dragged others down; moreover.
their families were drowned for lack OF

NDICTING DEAD MEN.

The late "Liberal'' political, anti.
"Mormon" grand jury whose eIon.
gated alleged report recently ap-
peared in these columns. was an in.
dustriOus body. Their labors. as can
be shown 10 the satisfaction Of all
people, were more far reaching than
those Of any other jury Of whom
history gives any account in this or
any other land - no age Of the
worlds history excepted.
Ex-Marshal Dyer, in his reply 10
the structures thrown upon him by
the report Of the jury, says in so
many words, that they were used As
spout through which certain mar
ties, well known to the public
poured their spleen upon individuals
against whom they had personal
pique. But the question arises
in relation to this "soft i'm
parchment" thrown out by Mr.
Dyer, as to whether the gentle
men who composed the panel
were adapted to that purpose. If

rate IN the sphere they are most
htted to fill? All schemes require
workmen and wOrkmen need tools
Mr. Dyer should not worry, as the

TIE fact Is stated in another
article that the late grand jury OF

Mr.. Joseph &. Romney, who died

tionai imbeciles also indicted the
late Bishop Samuel r. Bennion, OF

the Judge, "the first reason seems

Any other than an anti-''AIormon''
grand jury would have deemed n
mans death a sufficient Tar against
his being indicted.
a grand jury is supposed not only
TO he impartial, but to carefully
sertinize every matter coming be-
fore them. The degree OF analysis
bestowed by the late jury on mat
tiers involving the good name and
liberty Of the citizen, is evinced by
the fact Of their having indicted n
man who has been dead n year and
a half. They found n true bill
against a man who cannot pos
sibly answer personally and
defend himself against a vii
famous aspersion. Seeing that
the late Joseph G. Romney,
well known by the literary name OF
'Gaskell,'' cannot rise from his
grave to vindicate his good name,
