AT THE UNITED CHAPEL.


A Large and Cultivated Audience
Pressut to Greet Rev. Rdward
Everitt Hale.
The United chapel last evening was well
filed by cultivated audience to listen to a
lecture on reading for the benefit of the In
dian association, from Rev. Edward Everitt
Hale. DR.. Munger introduced the well
known lecturer with but q few remarks to
the effect that the duty was as simple as
pleasant. DR.. Hale announced that he would
read selections from the story "In His
Name" a tale of the early days of the Wal
denses' prosecutions, after which there would
be short intermission. Here he related
story of his early lecturing days. One night
as the astronomers had predicted there was
an occultation of Jupiter, which ne very
much wished to see as he thought perhaps
he might not live till 1889 to see when 1t
happened again. As it CHANGED that evening
he was giving lecture in Northboro, Mass,
and he made the proposition to the commit
tee that 1t would be good thing he thought
to have an intermission 80 that the audience
might view this phenomenon, but they were
reluctant because they were afraid if once
the people got out it would be hard matter
to get them back, so he az we'll as the audi
ence did see that wonderful sight.
He then read In q most interesting manner
selections taken through this most charming
tale, "In His Name"
After brief intermission he concluded by
reading the last chapter from that story of
amusing and ludicrous experiences titled,
"Aunt Caroline's Present."

DR.. George F. Peterson, the well known
dentist, has brought suit for $40, 900 dam
ages against The Evening Register Publish
ing company, and an attachment for this
amount was placed upon the company's
property yesterday afternoon. The suit is
the result of publication in that paper un-
der the date of December 81, purporting to
be communication from 81. P. Holland, the
advertising agent. stating that there was but
one note instead of three, and that was a
note for 5000, and that the note was not for
borrowed money, but obtained under false
pretences, under q promise to make good
some dentist work done for Mr.. Hubbard,
which he claimed was imperfectly done.
DR.. Peterson had brought q suit against b.
P. Hubbard to recover on three notes which
it is alleged Mr.. Hubbard had given him in
payment for the teeth above referred to and
which notes had been renewed. The Regis

DEATH OF JUDGE NILES.
His Sudden Demise With Congestion of
the Lungs.


SAN FRANoIsco, January 19th.-Addison
G. Niles, Justice of the Supreme Court of
California between 1871 and 1880, died un-
expectedly at his lodgings in the Fulton
House, at 7:30 on Friday evening. He had
been stopping at the Fulton House for the
past six months, during which time he had
been very feeble.
Last Tuesday Judge Niles complained to
several friends that be had bad cold, and
for several days thought nothing serious
the matter with him, but the damp weather
and his age and physical weakness invited
the deadly disorder to which he succumbeG.
Ex-Justice Niles was born in Rensselaer,
VILE Albany county. New York, in 1880,
so that at the time of his death he was 60
years old. He moved to San Francisco in
1852, from which point he travelled to vari-
Gus points in the interior, and to the South
Sea islands. He published, in conjunction
with Judge Mcfarland, a newspaper in
Nevada county, after which he went upon
the Supreme Bench, and at the expiration
of his term he prscticed Law. III health
and unfortunate speculations swept his for
tune away, and for some time he has been
in reduced circumstances.
Deceased leaves son, Addison P. Niles,
in business at 623 Commercial street, and a
sister, Mrs. Niles Searls, wife Of the present
Supreme Judge.
Judge Niles had an extensive acqusint-
ance among prominent people, and was
identified with the Masonic order, of which
he was at one time Grand Orator.
The body was yesterday taken to the
undertaking establishment of Halsted &
Co., on Sixth street, where it was en-
balmed.
His sister, who is visiting in Nevada City,
was telegraphed to during the day, but,
owing to the prostration of wires and the
railroad blockades, it is not probable that
she can arrive here until next week. The
funeral ceremony will be deferred at least
until next Wednesday, ia the hope that she
may by that time be able to attend.

Snow Piled Up on the Comstock-CattIe
Dying.

Snow Piled Up on the Comstock-Catt
Dying.
VIRGINIA New, January 10Th. The
heaviest snowfall this winter ended yester.
day, after showing continuously thirty
hours at the rate of more than an inch and
half an hour. Snow piled up ten feet
high on the principal streets, which were
impossible to-day. One building and
numerous awnings were wrecked and thsir
roofs caved in by the weight of snow. 1t
is conceded that the fall is the heaviest in
the history of the Comstock. Corpses of
residents who died several days ago ere
waiting for inte1ment until the roads to the
cemetery are pessable.
The Geiger grade and all wagon roads
leading here are blockaded, and all trains
on the Virginia and Truckee Railroad have
been abandoned for three days, but an effort
to open the line between here and Reno
will be made to-day. No letters or papers
or mail from the West has been received
since Thursday morning, when the San
Francisco mail of January 14th arrived.
The Southern Pacific Company officials do
not expect 10 get the Eastbound overland
train now en- route through to Reno before
next Tuesday night. All wires west of
Reno are down.
The extraction OF ore from the mines was
suspended Thursday on account of the
blockade of the sidetracks leading to the
orehouses. The Utah mine shut down on
account of the wagon read not being open.
The total snowfall here since November
exceeds thirteen feet. The weather is clear
but marine barometeTs are at the storm
point.
BEowAwE (Ney }, January t9th.-A heavy
snow storm set in Friday morning and
fifteen inches have fallen, making total
of four feet since December 10Th. The
snow is drifting badly, OBTAINING trains and
the Cortez lines of stage and freight trains.
The snow now in the mountain canyons is
from so to 60 feet deep. Old residents say
they never saw such snow in Nevada, and
it is predicted that four-ffths of the range
stock will perish with cold and hunger.
George Grayson is feeding twenty tons of
hay every day, and estimates that he will
lose from 500 to ,0G0 fed cattle and more if
the storm lasts much longer.
RENO New, January 19th.-The storm
ended here Friday night. Cattle men pre-
dict that one-half of all cattle and sheep in
the State will perish. Sparks & Tinnin,
out in eastern Elko county and southern
Idaho, expect to lose 30G0 cattle. Re-
ports from Quinn river are that all will
die.

SON OF A BARON.
a Brave and Educated Man who is Not
Afraid of Toll.

Afraid of Toll.
New YORK, January 19th.-Under a
pillow in cot in Bellevue Hospital is a
tiny iron cross, attached to a gold chain,
snd the occupant will be, if he lives, one
day the Baron Robert Won Pultkamer
The cross il the highest decoration for
valor in the gift of the German Empire,
and was given him, with larger cross for
breast decoration, for conspicuous bravery
on the bloody field of Gravelotte, where he
was ensign under Won Papien, of the Plus-
sian Grenadier Guards.
Won Puitkamer came to New York as
steward of the ship Ivy, from San Fran
cisco, only few weeks ego. He is theson
OF Herr Won Pultkamer, Vice President of
the Prussisn Council of Ministers and
Minister of the Interior, who was deposed
by the present Kaiser in June, 1888, to the
delight Of the radicals.
He was dashing young officer, with
annie means and brilliant future. He
will not sag how he became es.rauged
from his family. Wednesday night an am
bulance took hin! TO the hospital from
Hudson street, and when he thought he
was dying from hemorrhage of the lungs,
he revealed his identity.
He now regrets it, but doss not deny he
is the Baron's son. He is man OF her
culean mold, with strikingly stern and
noble features. His conversation stamps
him az a man of education, while his
horny hands, deformed by hard work in
the voyage round the Horn, tell of toll and
privstions.
The doctors say if he is not worried and
escapes bronchitis or pneumonia, he may
recover, but he will never be strong man
again.

CHINESE LABoRERs
To Be Transplanted from California to
New York.

New York, January 19th.-The San
comments significantly on a dispatch from
Pittsburg which reported that scheme is
about to be tried of employing Chinese On
street and other work. 1t says concerning
the public works in this city: "In the
event of the substitution Of Chinese labor
there would doubtless result many bloody
riots, for those who now depend upon the
city for daily bread would not submit to
the change without a bloody encounter" !"
Street Commissioner Loomis says he will
not employ the Chinese on street work.
A peculiar feature of the matter is the
threats of violence against the Chinese by
the Eastern journals.
a number of Chinese from San Francisco
arrived here under contract to work as
street laborers, in charge of Lien Chen. He
declares that he can hardly supply all the
Chinese that work can be provided for. He
says they will work more faithfully for
less wages than the Europeans now en-
ployed.
If the demand be great, Lien Chen has
intimated that the anti-Chinese Act would
not prove the slightest bar TO importing as
many men as there was work for He said
that a street-contrsctor had agreed to give
the men three weeks trial, but he refused
to name the contractor.

MAYOR AIKEN.
He is the Maddest Man in the State OF
Maine.

He is the Maddest Man in the State OF
Maine.
ELLSWORTH (Me.l, January 19th.-Mayor
Aiken, of this city, is furious about an oc-
cuTrence on Thursday evening and pro-
mises to make it hot for party of men,
young and old, responsible for the happen
ing OF it,
The Mayor is exceedingly moral in his
views and for sometime past certain per-
sons have been endeavoripg to obtain a
license for sparrlng match in the City
Hall. The projectors were determined
that the fight should occur in spite of the
Mayors opposition and accordingly in the
early part of the evening they hunted up
the janitor of the hall and told him that
the Mayor had given them permission to
enter the hall and have an athletic exhibi-
ton.
The janitor credited their story, unlocked
the doors and about forty or fifty of the
sports of this city and Bangor, who were in
the secret, filed into the building and not
only did they hold prize-fght but they
placed their ring within the sacred precinct
of the municipal Courtroom, which is more
remotely located than the main hall.
It was after 10 o'clock and the cold
weather had driven the people hcme early,
SO that the contest occurred without inter-
ruption. The fight was between Isaac
Talbot, burly negro, who claims the
heavy weight championship of Maine, and
Harry Gardiner, lighter colored pueilist,
and big favorite in this city. 1t was
hot fight from the start. Talbot appeared
to be too much for the local gladiator, who
was knocked silly in the third round, and
was carried away by friends.
So quietly was the affair carried out that
nothing was known about it by the Mayor
until last night. To-day he has been the
maddest man in Ellsworth The luckless
ianitor has been dismissed and the City
Marshal has been ordered to arrest every
man who aided or abetted the fight.
