It is learned that Prof. Nelson, naturalist
Of the Smithsonian Institute at Washington,
who has been collecting vegetable specimens
and bugs in Mexico, narrowly escaped death
At the hands of certain unpronOunceable
Indians who mistoOk him for a land survey

The Car Of all the Russias was recently
alarmed, it is reported, by finding upon his
table document stating that sentence of
death had been pronounced upon him and
would be executed within twenty flour hours.
His agitation was increased a few days la
ter by the appearance upon the table of his
dressing room of a skull with the word
Alexander inscribed upon the frontal
bone. How the warnings got into the pal
ace is a mystery, and the unhappy autocrat
naturally wants to know what is to prevent
a nihilist bomb or an assassin's dagger from
being introduced into the royal apartments
in the same way.

fdent that no. many even Of those compos-

The strike of the American Railway
Union in support of the employees of the
Pullman shops, who are seeking restora-
ton of former wages, seriously interrupted
railroad business, in Chicago and the West,
and affected other industries to some extent.
The United States government acting under
the Interstate commerce act, has taken
action to prevent the strikers from interior
ing with trains. By direction OF the AttOr-
ney General, bill was filed in the L. S.

issued restraining all persons from interfer-
ing with trains of every kind. The War
Department is prepared to enforce the

In discussing the increase Of the whiskey
tax and the extension Of the bonded period,
last week, Senators displayed wide and accu-
rate information. They might need light
on the sugar question, but the majority were
experts in matters relating to whiskey. Not
all we're equally well posted, however, and
there were differences Of opinion. John
sherman, who drinks beer, undertook to
deny that the whiskey wonld be improved
by remaining in bond longer than the three
years allowed by the present law. Joe Black
burn, a recognized authority, defending the
provisions of the pending bill, declared that
Senator Sherman did not know good whis-
KEY. He added that he was willing to defer
to the better judgment Of Senators Allison
aud Aldrich whereat the Senate laughed.

Col. H. G. Parsons, the owner of the Nat

county, Virginia, was shot in a hotel lobby
at Clifton Forge by Thos. A. Goodman, a
passenger conductor on the Richmond and
Allegheny railroad, and died an hour and a
half later Only few words passed between
the two before the shooting. Goodman
grievance, it is said, was that Parsons had
made repeated charges against him, seeking
to have him discharged from his position.
Col. Parsons was a native of Vermont He
had invested largely in various enterprises
in Virginia and the South, and was widely
known III connection with his railroad and
other interests. He was an ardent, though
not illiberal Republican, and close friend
of the late Hon. James G. Blaine. His res
idence was at Natural Bridge.

We your Grand Jury eaupanneled

as follows
There have been presented for Our
consideration one case Of burglary,
one case Of assault with intent to kill
one case OF em5ezzlement, one case
OF obtaining money under false pre-
tenoes, one case OF grand larceny, one
case OF misbr6ndinG stock and one
case OF crime agai nst nature.
We have ignored the cases of burg
larry, crime against nature, and mis-
branding stock.
We find trne bills for the cases of
embe8zlemTsG assault with intent to
kill, obtaining money under false
pretences aud grand larceny.
Information having been presented
to the Grand Jury that during the
past two irrigating seasons, the
bitches owned and used by Sam uel
Mcintyre on his ranch near HAlfeck,
Elko comfy, Nevada, have been al
lowed tv overflow aud damage the
county roads through. carelessness Of
said Mcintyre and his employees, con
trary to law, the Grand Jury instructs
the District Attorney to notify said
Mcintyre, that upon q repetition of
the offenses and upon a complaint of
the came heiHg daily nade tue offTreu-
der or blenders will be prosecuted
according to the laws relating to suoh
matters.
We find that by the filling up of
the County ditch at the north end of
the town of Elko, the water has been
forced through the main streets of
the town to the great detrlment of
the streets and Of citizens compelled
to travel the same. We therefore
recommend and earnestly request
the County Commissioners to take
action in the matter W have the said
ditch cleaned out and enlarged, il
necessary, and to take proper action
against parties wilfully obstructing
the same.
1t has been presented to our notice
that the proprietor Of the Railroad
Hotel in the town of Carlin has erect
ed lunch stand, which is an OBJ.
structlon and nuisance, on a pub
lilo highway in the town of Carlin.
We therefore ommend that the
proper steps be taken by the County
Commissioners to have the obstruc-
ton removed.
Complaints having been made that
the County commissioners, following
an old custom, have made contracts
amounting to over five hundred dol
lars each without first advertising
for proposals for the offices Of County
Physician and Janitor, respectively
for the term of two years. We there
fore notify the Board OF County Com
missioners that such acts should be
discontinued in the future, the same
being unjust and unlawful.
