Association work, that Mr.. Candiish was
able TO place the Richmond Association
upon that basis which It occupies at this
time.
At present II leads the work In the
South numerically, as well as In educa-
tiona,. physical and social lines. The
membership OF this Association was soc
In March. 1891, while IL now numbers
over 1000 members thus showing q phe-
nomenal growth such as no other Asso-
ciation can show within period Of two
years.
The resignation OF Mr.. Candlish will.
OF course. be deeply regretted by all
who take an interest In the welfare Of
the Richmond Association. It's success
had been so conspicuous that every one
felt delighted. and the idea that Mfr.
Candlish would relnqulsh his position
after only two years OF unceasing labor
was utterly unexpected.
He came 10 this city with the very
highest recommendations, and the board
of directors. fully appreciating the pre-
carious condition the Association was
then in. at once conferred upon him
their unlimited confidence.
He proved himself fully equal 10 the
occasion, and all his suggestions and
recommendations were NJ once sanctioned
by the directors. Subsequent events
showed that Mr.. Candlish possessed the
necessary executive ability and sound
Judgment to push the organization TO the
front in the various lines OF it's work.
After achieving this Mr.. Candlish seems
To be OF the opinion that he can well
afford to let the Associate .ake care
OF itself and take his abo'. where he
expects to ind still larger field OF ac-
tivity.
Whatever may be thought OF Mr.. cand-
lish and the motives which induce him
at this time TO leave for Brooklyn. there
remains one fact which cannot be lost
sight OF. When he accepted the call OF
the Richmond Association two years ago.
he was fully aware OF the condition Il
was In at the time. The salary awaiting
him here was the same rs he then re-
ceived IN New York. and the board OF
~ertOrs OF that city. wishing to retain
valuable services. Ni'ered him an in
:ttse of several hundred dollars
However. the financial question was no
inducement to him. he preferred TO
come here, for he saw hard work and a
difficult task before him.
Since then the Richmond Association
has taken the lead In the South, and
believing that hereafter It will be less
difficult for the organization TO hold it's
own, Mr. Csndlsh has turned his eyes
I'm another direction and decided TO 20
where he believes he can do the most
good.
After short conference with Mr.
John r. West. State Secretary II. q.
williams and others. Mr.. Travers de-
cided last evening to call a meeting Of
the board OF directors for tomorrow
evening. when the question OF selecting
a successor to Mr.. Candlish will be con-
sidered.

In discussing the probabilities Of the
origin OF the fire, Mr.. j. 8. Huntington.

steam-heating pipes were very danger

they might lie, and cited an instance
where mineral wool, which Is largely

Both the Valentine and Allen e. Ginter
people maintain that the fire came from
the Electric Light and Power plant.
RecapituIation.
The total loss Is estimated at not less
than 1900 while the entire insurance
amounts TO s2ls.2oC.
The loss on Allen &, Ginters stock, ma
chinery and buildings, including the
Thomas building is estimated at s165,000,
while the insurance Is sl53.500.
The loss on the Thomas building will
probably be several thousand dollars.
The loss by the Valentines is about
$500. which is fully covered by their
insurance OF $4,000.
W. A. o. Cole has been given the con-
tract OF raising Allen e. Glnter's safes

flames added little damage to that al

best to play a stream upon them, and
In a few moments the fire was out.

THE COUNTY WINS.

The decision in the Bray case set
ties definitely a principle of Law for
which the APPEAL has SO long CON
tended.
Considering the abuse which has
been hsaped upon this journal for
maintaining that money was being
illegally distracted from the county
treasury, candor compels us to ad-
NIT that we feel personal satisfac-
ton in the verdict.
For many years past, in spite of
the plain law in the statute books,
county officers in Ormsby have treats
ed it with absolute contempt,
considering that they were too
stregly intrenched behind the ring
power to ever suffer the penalties of
their wrong doing. We have no hess
itation in saying that if there had
not been a change of politics last fall
in Ormsby that there would have
been no change in the methods of
conducting county business. Prior, to
the vacancy in the District attorneys
office, (when Sardis Summerfield drew
the salary of the office without giving
any returns to the taxpayers) there
was nothing to check these illegal
methods.
To the advent of Mr.. MCGOWAN in
the District Attorneys office, the
taxpayers owe the decision of yester-
day, He went in absolutely indepen-
dent of anybody's control, and prior
to the election he promised the peo-
pie that he would put stop to
County Commissioners letting CON
tracts to themselves. The ring made
a hard and bitter fight to thwart him
in his duty, but he routed them at
every turn, and obtained a decision
that settles this question in Ormsby
forever. Mr.. Bray took council
from bad advisors and up TO the time
the Judge gave the decision he rested
easy with the idea that his attorneys
could knock hole through any law
in the statute books.
Under the decision it is clear that
every dollar Commissioner Bray has
drawn from the county for road work
has been illegally paid, and this
money amounts to several thousand
dollars since his incumbency.
The only error in the Judges de-
decision, was the charitable view
taken by the Court that he did not
know that he was violating the law.
The fact that the APPEAL repeatedly
called his attention to the law months
ago is antagonistic to this view.
In conclusion we suggest to Mr..
Bray that if his lawyers have charged
him anything for putting him to the
expense of carrying up his case, he
is fairly entitled to recover the good
money he paid out for bad legal adj

The State Fair.

The directors of the State Agri-
cultural Society are spending time
and money to make the ensuing
fair a success. They leave their
homes and there business to attend
to tie affairs of the Society. They
come from far and near to attend
meetings to promote the interests OF
the fair without fee or reward, as
there is no salary attached to the
positions which they occupy. Their
efforts will be unavailing, however,
without the cooperation or the pub
lie. The people in all sections of the
State should assist them by sending
exhibits to and attending the fair.
Stockmen, farmers, manufacturers,
miners, in short, everybody should
take an interest and contribute to
the success of the Society. Liberal
premiums are offered and there
should be general exhibit OF the
products of the State, Stockmen,
bring your fine horses, cattle and
sheep; farmers, send samples of your
grain and vegetables; fruit growers,
exhibit your apples, pears, plums
and other products of your orchard;
miners, show what Nevada contains
in the mineral line; manufacturers,
exhibit specimens of your skill, and
last, but not least, let the ladies show
that their handiwork will compare
favorably with that of their sisters
in older communities. Every in
dustry in the State ought to be re-
presented and by combined action
of the public and the management
have fair of which Nevadans may
well feel proud.
