bequeathed $5,OOO,OOO as her share of
an estate. The lady and her husband

Big Crew Working on Con.
structiOn

The new electric power company
has completed it's deal with Mr. Ad-
ans and will take charge of the plant
some time next month, probably the
18TH From this it would seem that
they expect to be in commission at
this city by that time. Mr.. Adams will
furnish light up to that time
The new company is going into bu-
siness on large scale. The poles and
wire are on the ground and about
thirty men are employed digging post
holes and setting poles between this
city and Silver City. Considerable Of
the supplies have been received and
are stored at the building that is now
in condition for occupancy. The wire
that is to be stretched is nearer like
rope than wire when it is compared
with the material used by the old COM
pany. The wire is nearly half an inch
thick and insulated The town will re-
quire five miles of this kind of wire,
! while the wire outside Of town will be
naked. Should any one of an inquisi-
tive turn Of mind investigate, they
will fill hearse the following day.
| The new company has surveyed near
ly all of the lines that are to be run
and the amount Of wire ordered about
covers the distance that they expect
to handle here at present An all day
and night service will be furnished the
same as is utilized on the Comstock
and in Reno. To those who put in
power. this will be great convenien-
ce. Several new industries are figur-
ed on when the company is ready to
talk business. One farmer is figuring
on using the power for pumping pur-
poses, while it is probable that the
laundry will use it in its work The
butcher shops and the printing Offices
Nsill also be equipped. There is also
talk of the railroad using this powe,
as it is cheaper than steam. From the
outlook, it seems that the new com
pany is coming into a field that offers
good inducements, and should the!
treat the people with liberality, there
is no doubt but that a number of new
Industries will spring up.

Superintendent Defenes Him.

Eureka, Nevada, Jan. II. A. Ira
lor, manager of the New York and
Nevada Mining Company, operating in
White Pine county, near Ely, was at
tackled this morning in the company's
Office at the Keystone mine by twelve
members of the Miners Union, who
came to the office with the intention
of running him out of town. The as
sailants caught hold OF Mr.. Taylor and
managed to thrown him down, but he
broke away, and pulling his revolver,
began shooting in self-defense. AS a
result James Stages, Samuel Johnson
and J. Smith, of the Miners Union,
are dead and three more Of the crowd
are wounded.
The assault made upon Mr.. Taylor
was due to the fact that the company
which he represents had recently cut
the miners wages from $3.50 to SO
per day and the miners attributed
this to the manager.
A strike has been on several weeks
and the leaders were of the opinion that
if the company's manager was driven
out of the country a compromise
might be reached, realizing, as the
result of the attack proved, that he
was determined in his views, ana
, would stand against them 10 a finish
The New York and Nevada company
have spent over million dollars in
development work in White Pine coun
ty, and in the past have paid the high
, est prices to miners, but in order t
continue this work, which had no.
/ been overly profitable, at the las
meeting Of the directors it was decid
ed that cut must be made and tn,
miners wages were reduced so cent
per day. Mr. Taylor was simply car
rying out his instructions, and the as
sault would seem to be uncalled fol
Mr.. Taylor has given himself u

him in the case which is sure to b

RICHMOND'S GOVERNMENTAL
SCANDALS.

The city OF Richmond seems on 'ne
verge of a municipal corruption ex-
posure such as Virginia cities rarely
experience, or else there has beencrlm-
inal criticism of public officials. In
the last few days King, the ex-Alder-
man. was convicted OF receiving
brides. and following on the heels OF
his conviction come charges oil ac-
cepting brides, made by Contractor
Gasser. against six or seven council
men. The council has done we'll IN
appropriating twenty-five hundred
dollars for Investigating purposes
and the Mayor has done his duty III
insisting that this investigation be
begun at once. No city can be sale
aud no city can be properly prosper
Gus when grafters andcorruptionists
are engaged in looting the treasury
for their enrichment. These NUM-
cipal scandals are becoming more
and more frequent in the United
States and unless dealt with with
vigor they threaten to sap thei9unda-
ton OF good government. The com
parative ease with which members o'
legislative bodies, both State and
municipal, can sell out TO corpora
tons and private individuals is a
menace to the entire country, but the
heavy hand OF the law where proper
" enforced can put an end to a con
dition OF things which is fast becOm
ing dangerous. Richmond is not
alone in possessing within her limits
corruptionists such as King, since
his prototype, perhaps. exists II
thousands of her sister cities, bu'
Richmond can, and We believe will
make it impossible for other Officials
to follow in Kings footsteps. Tb'
charges Just preferred call for
prompt, energetic and thorough in
vestigation to the end that Mayo
Taylor's advice may be taken an'
the corruptionists be driven from
the city. A pure and untainted gov
eminent is the only safeguard o
the citizen. Richmond should have
no other.
