On the witness stand, : back up what
had been printed in his testimony.
These facts, Mr.. SEWER was sure,
entitled him to another trial. He in
sisted that he was innocent, and had
not been fairly and impartially tried.
No death, he affirmed, could be too
severe for the men who murdered
poor Jack Welch," but Of that crime
he was innocent. He maintained that

Of refinement and culture, could not

concluded, you are sentencing an
innocent man."
T. F. German, the last man sentenc-
ed, when given an opportunity to
speak in his own behalf, said: "Well,
I'd like to say this your honor: l an
innocent of this crime. I don't thiHk
the evidence in this case warrant ei
the veruict. l am not able to prove
that I was not at the scene of the
crime as is charged, on account of my
condition on that night was drunk.
He went on to say that he did not
think the case had been tried fairy
and impartially. and he got the worst
of it because he would not turn State
evidence against the rest. The Dis
trict Attorney, he said, had called him
out twice and offered him his liberty
If he would tell what he knew.

ney emphatically denied. German, in 8
broken voice concluded: II am limo
cent of this crime; that Is all have

for your fairness throughout this

SERIOUS Loss.
Tlmbers IN the Gold Hill Tunnel De-
streyed BY Fire.


Yesterday morning at about o'clock
the timbers of the Homestead tunnel,
on the Virginia and Truckee, were
discovered to be ON fire, and when
entirely consumed in q short time, en-
failing loss Of many thousands of
dollars.
ne Homestead tunnel is the first
beyond Gold Hill and the largest Oil
the line of the road. Workmen have
been employed some time putting on
new metal sheeting inside to protect
the timbering from sparks from loco-
motive stacks. Presumably a spark
from the local last, night set fire 20
an exposed portion of the timbering
and smouldered until the hour this
morning when discovered.
The officials Of the Virginia and
Truckee railroad are unable to esti-
mate the loss at this time, but it will
be very large. The figures depend
largely upon whether or no the tunnel
is badly caved.
At any rate the company will con-
, slider itself fortunate if it is able to
run trains through that tunnel in one
month from now. In the meantime
trains will run to Gold Hill, and from
that point passengers will be taken to
Virginia City is buses.
Later-A Chronicle representative
visited the scene Of the disaster this
morning. The entire tunnel is q total
wreck and will require several months
to repair. The tunnel is badly caved
A construction crew has been al
work repairing the roof and last night
q strip Of about two feet was LEFT
bare. Two lights we're left about ter
feet ON either side Of this bare spo
to warn engineers to shut on steam
The night Waterman at Gold Hill wen
in the tunnel after the local had pass
ed through and removed these lights
He says that he again went through
at 4 o'clock this morning and at tina
time there was no sign of fire. A shor
time later, he says. the whole tunne
burst out in q mass Of flames.
This morning strong odor of ga
was peceptible at the east end an
this may account for the sudden Out
burst described by the watchmal
Smoke is issuing from crevices in tn
hill all along the line Of the TUNE
showing how badly the ground Il
cracked and broken Each end is
, yawning chasm filed with broken an
charred timbers and fallen ground
Thick, gaseous smoke pours throug
, the mass while inside the f1re is sti
burning fiercely.
Superintendent Kirk came up frOI
Carson and was interviewed regardin
the intentions OF the company He say
that work will be begun immediatei
on repairs. The tunnel will be rebui
as before While no definite estima:
of the loss can be. made at presen
it will exceed $4,000.

 A popular local citizen who went out to ride the other day, one of a party of six, purchased two boxes of choice candy at Cassedy's and put in the car riage at Keeler's. Another momber of the party got hold of the boxes, took them out of the packages and substituted some boxes filled with dirt. As they were riding along through the country the gallant young man sudden ly thought of the candy, and opened up the packages, disclosing the dirt. There was hearty laugh at his ex- pense. Later in the day the candy was brought out and the culprit par tially forgiven. The young man who was imposed on is now laying a few pipes to get even with his friends.

FOR HER SAKE"
ExcellentIy Staged and Presented by an
Admirable Company.


In "For Her Sake,' the play which
comes to the Rhode opera house
next Sunday night, the patrons of this
popular theater will undoubtedly find a
piece of sterling dramatic merit for
play of the sort, for it has been warmly
commended by dramatic critics in
other cities. It is a four-act melo-
drama descriptive of Russian official
life and the conduct of affairs in the
Siberian convict mines. 1t tells a
pretty love story, and, according to all
accounts, is en1ivened by some original
comedy. Some of the climateric cpl
sodes, is described, are of thrilling
dramatic effect. The company is an
unusually large one, and carries a
big stock of special scenery. It is to
be played at popular prices, and from
all points of view ought to prove one
of the most satisfactory engagements
of the season.
