SHELLFISH
BOARD HAD
MEETING

The regular meeting OF the commits
sioners OF shell fisheries was held this
morning at the state house, and as there
was full attendance the report OF the
special committee on the investigation of
the river pollution made its report which
was listened TO with a great deal OF
interest.
The committee was continued with in
structions to follow the matter to the end.
An interesting feature to the members
who had not attended the hearings OF the
harbor commission in regard 10 the pollu-
tion was the repetition OF the experiment
onstrating that the gas oil sold by the
Standard oil company will not mix with
water, but that the water gas tar can
be precipitated In sea water. or rather
salt water, taken from the river off Paw

He announced the oyster dealers said
tnere was no sewer outlet at that place,
and that number OF physicians had

The oystermen would rather sell the
oysters without soaking them In tho
partly fresh water on these large RATS.
but the public will not buy the oysters
unless part OF the salty taste has been
washed out and the color changed to one
several shades lighter
Mr.. Collins said he has dsproved to his
own satisfaction the allegations that the
oysters were foated near n sewer outlet
and found that the dealers rather invited

fish are kept for a couple OF days after
being brought up the river.

LiudcTInnn'- Confession.

Al, Lindcrman. IN uf the Winnemuc-
ca murdercrs, made "a confession at the
State Prison Saturday. Lluderman
says German and Seveujer killed Welch
and that he and Roberts were robbiug Il
man named Kelley on top Of the next
car. Linderman gives his history aud
tells how he became a member u the
murderous gang. He then tells how the
gang worked the freight trains running
out Of Lovelock. They had worked an
eastbOund train and at lola the train
slowed down and the gang got of and
took u wcstbound freight standing on
the siding and went back To Loveluck.
The murder Of Wcl'h occurred on this
]westbound train. Following is Linder
mans story Of the murder:
When we boarded this train we were
up near the engine and after the train
got to moving very lively We all liurd
along the cars, German in the lead, Scv.
enier next, then myself and Roberts be.
hind. Walking over about fifteen ears
we came tO the scene Of the murder.
Waldron and Wrlch were lying on the
left hand side Of the running board.
which is the middle Of all box cars.
German and SuvcnIrr, who had their
masks on and their guns in hand, start
ed Ia rob them. Myself and Roberts,
neither Of us having masks on, came up
close to the rest, and rs WaldrOn and
Wrlch were lying on their backs, they
had n very good opportunity to see our
faces. 1t was only a glance however be-
cause | looked over on the next car and
saw Kelley. My handkerchief being
around nay neck. as | stepped from the
ear where German and Scvenier had
their victims down rObDing them, | pul.
led my handkerchief up over my nose
and with Il gun in my hand ordered KEEL
IL to give me his money. Roberts was
with me. and ms | took IA pockctbooli
from Krlley's pocket | saii "iIcrc kid

soc from him and na he begged me pitc.
Ously no to take his life, ! allowed him
to got up and ruL for the cabnose. Kcl.
ly also had Il %valisc, | and Roberts
searched. While all this was going on
between Kelley, myself and Roberts,
German and Scvenicr had WaldrOn and
Wclch down on a side ladder trying Ia
make them drop of. They seemed Ia
he having a hard time with them. Sew.
cnicr was down on the ladder beating
the poor man Wclch with n revolver and
standing on his hands. WEIGH was beg
Jung piteously for his life. German
WIS standing on top OF the ear with his
gun pointed down ut the men. | was
on the car ahead Of them shooting in the
air to keep a brakeman back, who was
inclined to come toward us. lie soon
decided t" leave for the engine. In the
meantime | heard German say. "For
Ghrist's sake take that" and he cmpticd
his gun into Jack WcIch's body.

Japanese Divorce Courts.

\ recent issue Of Il Japanese Stats
teal pamphlet in japanese and French
reveals some curious facts - Il social
character.
According to this report, there was in
Japan in the year OF 1889 297,i29 mar.
riagGs. Tho age OF marriage seems to Je
nearer that commonly prevailing III
Europe aud America than NEST persons
suppose.
or men, only five married under the
age OF thirteen, and only los under the
age OF sixteen, Nearly 5lJ0 marned he
tween tho ages OF sixteen and eighteen.
The number Of marriages. increased
readily up To tho age Of twenty four,
when it vas rather moro than 2G.O00.
After that ago fewer and fewer men
married. and less than Il thousand mar.
ried between the ages O. torty-cight and
torty.ninc. though "a few men married
in extreme old age.
In the case OF girls there were only
fifty eight marriages under the age Of
fourteen, and the age at which the
greatest number OF marriages wus re-.
ported was between twenty aud twenty.
onc. Only about 900 women were re-.
ported rs marrying between the ages Of
.orty aud forty one, but perhaps Japan.
csc women are prone, like their Western
sisters, to cease having birthdays after
they pass thirty. There were u few mar
rtuy.r tf ynry rll r.gt,nn u, o., ,,,.l L.
yOud the < Of eighty.
Tho evil state OF the IN marrying
il significant. More than 2i7 900 at the
whole mum Der are reported as maidcns,
and nearly $500 as widows, while ncarl,
$4,000 were divorced women.
Astonishing are the divorce statistics
OF japan. 10 this report il was shown
that with fewer than 800 900 marriages
reported in the ycnr. there were more
than GG,0D0 divorces. The proportion Of
divorces to marriages wns about | 10 !.
The fact is that Japuncsc civilization
is most conspiciou.ly weak III the mat.
ter of the status Of women. Divorce ia
casy.
In fact, The seven muses. laid down Nv
Confucius are allowed. One Of these
permits u man to divorce his wits for
talking too much. Among the lower
classcs divorce is extremely frequent.
IT is less SO among the upper ]classcs,
mai1ly because COnCubinHgc IL common.
The divorced wife patiently cndurcs her
lot, and leaves the house Of her lord
with Il blcscinR Tor him upon her lips.
II rs a rare thing for u woman in ia,
pan 10 seek u divorce, though husbands
frequently give sufficient cause. The
fact tina. the care 0i the cliidrcu would
fall upon tho wife should she obtain n
divorce IL n sufficient deterrent Ia the
mothers who are poor, and the condition
OF extreme AFFECTION suffered by nearly
all japanese women probably dctcrs
wealthy wives from seeking divorce.

HAS southern Pacific Absorbed Western
RulL.

Tho fact that Il number Of the most
prominent officials of the Southern Pa.
cific company have visited Keno and
East lieno during the past Few weeks
has given rise to many rumors regard.
ing their object.
Yesterday n well founded report
gained circulation that the officials have
looking into the ieasibilit! OF carrying
out the plans OF the Western Pacific
and that the interests al the
latter corporation have been merged
with those Of Hartman and his as
sociates. Ycsterin! the railroad officials
stationed in Reno made no statement
regarding tine matter.
Notwithstanding this the story Ii ont
that the company now controls the "es'
tern Pacific interests and il a line goes
through Beck with Pass it will be built
by Hartman.
II is stated that the Hartman people
have now abandoned their plans io tun-
mel through the Sierra Nevada noun
taius from Truckec. Instead the Wes'
tern Pacific survey will be followed and
a line will be run either from this city
or from East REM through the Pass,
connecting Mt Chico.
This would overcome the heavy grades
OF the mountains, and reduce ID time
as we'll rs the transportation OF freight
and passengers to and from California,
1t would also insure to the Southern
Pacific company the only two feasible
routes 20 California from the East.
The burlington, Rock Isl md and
other roads have had longing eyes on
California for years. Beckwith Pass If
the gateway to the Golden State. with
the Southern Pacific III control there liz
little opportunity for the opposition to
lind Rn entrance.
The construction OF n tunnel from
Truckee would require about four years
time together with the expenditure Of
several million dollars After completion
the expense and the trouble that would
be entailed in maintaining the under
grolnd passage would DO enormous.
So il can be easily seen that the Beck
with Pass route il one the Southern Pa.
ciiic Is eager to control.
Though this is the first Information
the public has received regarding this
important matter it is stated that the
deal was consumatcd several months
ago and the immense shops, rOunhhouse
and railroad yards los i'll the course Of
construction at the sister town OF East
Reno are for the purpose Of handling
tie immense business and caring for
the engines and cars of the company
when it succeeds i'll building an opcn
route to the sea board OF the Pacific
