Another Carnival at Carson.

1t is announced that Carson City will
witness another tistic carnival in the month
of August this year and that the term will
last ten days. Another meeting between
Corbett and Fitzsimmons is being arranged
for and if successful this event would be the
paramount issue
On the Goth inst, at New York, Corbett
formally challenged Fitzsimmons to another
contest but Fitzsimmons is reported to have
declared that ne meant to pay no attention
to the challenge from Corbett or anybody
else, as he had earned a rest and meant to
have it. He added however, that he pro.
posed to follow Corbatt'a example as dcta.
tor of the prize ring and his reply was that
the latter should earn a reputation as a
fighter instead of! boxer before he pre-.
sumed to challenge him.

Cut a Ronanza.

Very encouraging reports come from the
Delmue mine, south Of State Line and about
ten miles from Flatnose station ~ this
county, on which the owners have been at
work all winter.
An eighty foot shaft had been sunk on the
property, following a wall or seam Of por-
phyry, which was regarded as one OF the
walls Of the ledge. Occasionally lunches OF
good grade silver ore were encountered and
saved and preparations were begun short
time ago to ship this ore to Salt Lake. The
parties set out TO excavate Just below the
mouth Of the shaft for an ore platform, but
had cut in less than three feet when a body
of high grade silver ole was encountered
averaging over 100 ozs. to the ton. The
boys went to the bottom Of the shaft, driited
in the same direction and after proceeding
but few feet opened up a body OF similar
grade ore as was encountered on the surface,
through which they had at last accounts
drifted IA feet without finding any wall.
Shipments to Salt Lake will Immediately
be made and the boys are much elated over
the turn things have taken with them

CENTRAL MUSIC HALL.
Chicago's Famous Auditorium In

Chicago, March 1.-THE white mar
BILE steps at the main entrance of Cen
trail Music Hall were wrecked yester-
day afternoon by firemen trying to get
at what threatened to become a des-
tructive blaze in the basement of the
building. The fire was discovered by
the janitor and pedestrians on State
street simultaneously. The round glass
area lights began to fly out at O'clock
and a cloud of smoke poured into the
street, scattering the people on the side
walk.
The flames were confined to a storage
room under the steps at the main en-
trance, which was filled with lumber
and rubbish. Quick work by the fire
men kept it from spreading to the main
auditorium, where it would have been
difficult to control
The sight of the smoke pouring from
the upper windows of the famous audi
torium and the ladders which the fire
men had hoisted up to the building at
tracted a large crowd, but the fire was
out in less than a half hour

and Taken to the Hospital

Anthony Peacher the colored man
who was shot and seriously wounded by
Special officer Watts of the Rock Is
land some weeks ago, has been ordered
released from the county jail by the
board of county commissioners. Peacher
was found guilty of petty larceny, and
fined IS and costs, which amounted to
in the neighborhood of $50 Since the
shooting he has been confined in the
county Jail.

release on the ground that proper treat
ment and care was absolutely neces-

entered Peacher'S body below the
shoulder has never yet been found, and
the man is still seriously i'll. He will
probably be removed to the Salvation

WHERE GARFIELD FELL.
Tablet and Star Marking the Place
Removed From the Depot.

Washington, March 1.-THE marble
tablet that rested in the south wall of
the ladies' waiting room of the Balti-
more and Potomac Railway company's
depot and the brass star placed in the
tiled flooring of the apartment to mark
for all time the spot on which President
Garfield fell when assassinated have
been removed.
A superstitious dread on the part of
the travelling public of a constant re-
minder of a tragedy seems to have led
to the removal of these monuments. The
immediate cause of the removal of the
tablet and star was the fire which oc-
CURED in the depot on the night of
March 4, which damaged the tablet to
such an extent that the officials of the
company declared it was not in cOndi-
ton to be replaced A portion of the
marble thing also had to be removed.
and although the metal star placed
where the president fell might have
been put back in it's old place it was
permanently removed, and the spot is
now marked only by a piece of red TIL
ing, which would pass unnOticed except
to those familiar with the place and the
tragedy that was enacted there.

AWAY WITH CATARACTS
This Troublesome Eye Pest No
Longer Feared.
Prof. SamueIs Removes Another Cat
aract, Thus Establishing His
Supremacy as an OcuIist.

A newspaper reporter CHANGED to meet
Mr. j. M. Donohoe yesterday and jot-
TED down what he had to say about
FroI. Sa1nueIS successful treatment of
his daughter Mr.. Donohoe lives at 612
Monroe street and for some time has
been connected with the Santa Fe rail-
road. The substance of his story is as
follows:
My daughter Annie, who is now in
st Mary's academy at Leavenworth
began two years ago to complain of
her eyes: OF course at first the trouble
was slight and let the matter go with
and 1 finally requested one of the sis
tiers to accompany her to a Leaven-
worth oculist, who said she was near
sighted in one eye and far-sighted in
the other. This seemed to me a rather
peculiar diagnosis, so didn't have him
treat her.
when she came home to spend the
mondays L was surprised to find her al
most blind; so nearly SO that her time
and money spent in school was prac
t1cally being thrown away. She could
scarcely read at all, and that with the
greatest and most painful exertion.
took her to see Prof Samuels on
last New Years day and I tell you I
was distressed to see the condition she
was in when he began to make his tests
then for the first time understood her
true condition. He said he could cure
her and L had him begin treatment.
The results during the first two weeks
We're truly marvellous. At the end of
that time her sight appeared to have
been completely restored. although her
eyes were still weak. But now she is
entirely well and can see as we'll as
she ever could in her life. The profess
scr says in a few days she may lay
her glasses aside for good.
Il tell you 1 am delighted, for the
treatment was successful beyond my
most sanguine expectations. If the
professor wants people to know what
he can do he has only to refer them
to me because think every one af-
f1icted ought to know where to go for
cure
The reporter afterwards saw Prof
Samuels who said: when Miss Dono-
hoe came to me she had a well devel-
oped cataract in one eye, which had not
yet begun to ossify, as we call it, as is
the case later on So. of course it was
more quickly and easily absorbed than
if it had been older and harder. 1 am
now treating several other cases of cat
aract, all of which are yielding nicely

HORSES SHOT IN A FIELD.
Their Carcasses Left to Rot and the
Shooter is Arrested.

The state failed to make case against
William BoZarth, charged with causing
an annoyance detrimental to public
health, before Justice Guy yesterday
afternoon. Bozarth was arrested on a
complaint sworn to by DR.. Hapgood. the
man who looks after the disposition of
the city's dead animals.
1t appears that short time ago Boz
arth escorted four Anticipated SteedS
which he had gathered in at an auction
sale for about so cents apiece, to a field
three miles east of town, and there shot
and skinned them, and afterwards sold
their hides for 81 each. News of this
tragic affair reached the ears of Dr.
Hapgood, and principally. it is said,
with view of discouraging such prac
tees, he swore to a complaint and had
BoZarth arrested on the charge of caus-
ing an annoyance by leaving the car
cases of the dead horses in the field.
The evidence was weak in the line of
sustaining the charge, and Justice Guy
decided that it did not show that Boz
arth had necessarily endangered the
public health.

filming the powers of the judiciary; for

California for the relief of William J.
Bryan" Mr.. Lodges bills included

Mr.. Nelson of Minnesota and Mr.. Lind

One of Mr.. Thurston's bills provided
for the increase of all pensions.
A resolution by MI. Frye calling for
information as to the operation of civil
service rules to river and harbor work
was agreed to.
Mr.. Cockrell asked if it was a step to-
ward abolishing the civil service rules.
Mr.. Frye said it was a step toward
abolishing those rules so far as they re-
lated to labor engineering work of
the government. 1T is interfering with
all manner of public work." declared
Mr. Frye. land it is absolutely absurd
and stupid"

All the measures introduced We're re-
ferred to- the several committees with
the exception of the bill pensioning the

per month which was passed, being the
first bill passed at the extra session.
Several hours were spent early in the
day on the question of admitting Mr..
Henderson, appointed by the governor
of Florida to fill the temporary va
cancy from that state. The debate was
largely of a legal and technical char
acter concerning the precedents on adj

M'KINLEY OPENS THE ROAD
Which Cleveland Closed to Make
Play Ground for His Children.

Washington, March 17.-President
Mckinley has issued an order that I'M
doubtedly will increase his popularity
among the large portion of the citizens
of the District. 1t is that the road back
of the White House running through
the White House grounds be restored to
it's former function as a public thor
oughfare- 1t is part of the presidents
grounds and is subject to his orders.
Up to within the last four years it has
always been open to the use of the pub
lie. During the excepted period the
grounds were given over to the use of
the Cleveland children and the gates
were closed to the general public.
During the past administration the
only times the grounds were open to
the public We're on Easter Mondays and

she has been sought after by II European
managers is doubtless true. and she has
cabled to this country in reference to her
return here. One cable dispatch she sent
last week mum bered so words, and it
ferred to her appearance here. While it is
not impossible that she will be seen here,
it is quite sure that manager will ac-
cept her or Rigo her own terms. So
far as is known, she has accomplish
ment adapted to exposition on the stage.
and the fact that Rigo play the fiddle
is apparently relied upon the artistic
enuipment of the couple.
