a clash between the Ama1gamated
Copper Company's miners from the
Pennsylvania mine operating in the
Michael Qayitt property, and the
miners from the Rarus property, a
Heinz property adjoining. The
Pennsylvania miners were engaged
in work under orders of court to
determine to what extent the ore
bodies of the Michael Davitt mine
had been unlawfully worked as al
legged by the Amalgamated people
The miners were engaged in stop
ping the passages through door from
their uprise in the Heinz workings
to prevent the blasting smoke creep
ing in and driving them from work,
when without warning there was a
deafening explosion which blew the
door from its place and crushed the
heavy timbars. Sheriff Quinn is
now making an investigation. The
contending forces of miners are all
wrought up in a high degree.
Later-Frederick Dryvel, the sec
ond victim of the outrage, died to-
day. The coroner has ordered an
inquest.

PIN HEADED CRAFTSMANSHIP.

The charge by the Reno Gazette that
Senator Newlands is making an lille
gal profit out of the sale of ranch prop
erty in Churchill county to be convert
ed into an irrigation site, is on a par
with nearly everything the Gazette
does.
Senator Newlands upon his return
to this coast ascertained that the III
terror Department had agreed to pur
chase branch of the Sharon estate
in which he is stock holder. 5000
acres Of land in Churchill and Lyon
counties constituting the site Of the
great Truckee-C Carson reservoir for
$4,000 and that the title had been
approved and the deed sent to Washing
ton for payment.
He therefore Immediately telegraph.
ed and wrote to the Secretary of the
Interior that he was stockholder IN
the Occidental Company, and he invlt-
ed the closest scrutiny of the fairness
of the transaction before it was finally
closed, as it might be the subject of
Misrepresentation in the future
The reservoir site is needed imme-
diately and one would suppose that
where the great project is benefitting
the State as this is doing. that par
tisian considerations would then take
a back seat. but with the Gazette It
is narrow craftsmanship or nothing. AS
a matter of fact the ranch was recently
sold to the Vail Bros, for $65, 900. The
transaction will stand the closest
scrutiny.
Some months ago the Gazette rails
ed hue and cry about some property
the Occidental Company sold the Gov
eminent for the Post Office site.
1t charged Newlands with making
some tremendous profits out Of the
transaction. 1t finally developed that
the property had been sold for so
much less than it's real value that the
nounced that Newlands was a d-m
fool.

point, and now-just as Mr.. Starline
had made up his mind-poor Miss
Witherly began to despair. She had
wasted two years upon clergyman
which she might have spent more
profitably, for she had driven from her
very respecta BILE farmer with serious
intensions, and he had married some
one else.
This morning false report that Mr..
Stariine was counting Rosa Rhubarb.
the doctors daughter, had reached her,
and she was very cross. Moreover, her
dear crony, the Widow Lane. had come
to stay all day. Every woman has one
crony in the world before whom she
plays no part. Over a late lunch. Miss
Witherly was talking to Mrs. Lane as
she talked to no one else, whep the
clergyman arrived, and new servant
who was not acquainted with the gen
tleman, thus announced him:
"A man wants you, Miss WitherIy."
"Old Hopper, 1 suppose" said Miss
Witherly, Il promised to send his wife
some clothes; put him anywhere. Jane.
out of the way until l can eat nv
lunch, for 1 don't disturb myself for
any one to-day"
And Jane, returning to Mr.. StarIine.
escorted him to the parlor, where every
word that was spoken in the dining
room was plainly audible.
The clergyman seated himself In the
largest armchair, which was near the
communicating door, and folded his
hands and waited. He was COMPOSING
an ornate proposition. He had got IS
far as: MY dear and respected Miss
Witherly, you may have remarked. -
when suddenly a sharp voice smote his
ear with these words, "Old starline y
Old Starlinel He could scarcely ha.
lieve his ears. Involuntary he leaned
little nearer the door and heard tbe
words repeated.
1T must be some one else Of tbs
same name. I'm not DID," said Mr.
| Starline.
It's nobody's business, I'm SIRE
said Miss Witherly.

YES" said Mr.. Starline, who was
talking to himself In his library, yes,
Miss Witherly is a most estimable
lady. Devoted to the church, chart
table. energetic, excellent in every
way; and she that is,
she appreciates me.
How she works among the or
phans and the aged poor in the Home;
how excellently she manages her BIZ
BILE class, and how kind OF her to bring
up that little orphan, Ellen Moore; yes,
1 shall gain a helpmeet indeed if she
will accept me, and" said Mr.. Star
line, regarding his clerical white tie
In the mantel glass complacently for a
moment, land 1 have no doubt but she
will"
Then Mr.. Starline put on his best hat
and his best gloves. took in his hand
the gold-headed cane presented to him
by his congregation, and set out in the
direction of Miss Witherly's cottage,
having quite resolved to waste no more
time about 1t, but to propose at once.
All! could Cansaida have known it,
nothing would have delighted her
more. For two years she had made
the capture of Mr.. Starline, his big
parsonage, his snug little income, and
the honor OF the title of ministers
wife the object of her soul. With this
hope she had devoted herself to church
work, to the aged poor In the Home,
to the little orphans and to the poor
generally. She had given flowers at
Easter, and twined evergreens at
Christmas, till her hands were full OF
briars, and OH how she had listened
to the sermons Mr.. Starline prea ched
and borrowed them for private perusal
and wept over the affecting parts, and
had striven not to smile, oh, SO very
hard, because 1t was In church you
know, when he grew witty.
Just at the time he took his evening
walk it had often happened that she
was hurrying up the road with a 1aI
of jelly for sick person or a tract fol-
a wicked one. No one could guess
how hard she had worked to gain hei
