the following:
The Richmond-Eureka Mining Com.
rany OF Eureka. Nevada, to-day filed a
suit against the Eureka alisade Rail
read Company for the collection of a
note for s24,663 As executed on March
%. 1910, with interest at 6 per cent
per annum. Attorneys Plllsbury,

for the plaintiff company.
The Eureka sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1902-current, 1910-07-23

Nothing is known here regarding the
starting Of the above suit, and many
conjsctures are being made relating to
the date of the note. which was given
on March %. nearly one month after
the 4 81 p. Railway was washed out
aud stopped service-February 26.
On the face of the matter it would
appear as If the mining company and
railway company had agreed on March
% regarding the reconstruction Of the
washed out railway, and the sum sued
for had been advanced by the mining
company as a partial payment of it's
portion toward the rebuilding of the
road.
1t is understood that the head officials
OF the above companies had at one time
agreed as to the terms on which the
railroad would be reconstructed, bot
before the papers were drawn up and
signed a disagreement occurred, which,
up to the present time, has not been
adjusted.
This is the present situation Of affairs
as near as the SENTINEL can learn. al
though during the week there have
been rumors here that the differences
existing between the two companies
had been about settled. and that the
work Of reconstructing the road would
be started within the next 30 days.
The SENTINEL, however. has been IN.
able to trace the later rumor to any re.
liable source.

De Luxe Sleepers
 On New Haven Road

Sleeping cars that have brass beds and every toilet convenience except a bath tub, are the newest luxury in travel offered by the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad Go. for service between New York and Bos- ton.
 Most costly woods such as vernlil- lion. English Oak, Cuban mahogany and koko have been employed in the interior decoration, but there is no attempt at experimentation.
 Each car is divided into seven apartments, and each apartment is as large and luxuriously furnished as a private room in a private car. A new ventilating device gives a splen- did supply of fresh, clean air. Some of the apartments are connected so that they may be occupied as suites, just as though you were in a hotel or club. Each apartment contains two chairs and drop table. Over the bed is a reading lamp.
 Opening off each apartment is a toilet annex with wash stand, mirror and dresser shelf. There is also a complete dresser in the apartment. Each room is lighted by electricity and gas and has an electric fam
 To be able to enjoy repose in a double bed aboard a fast express is the strongest appeal that the new style sleeping car will make to New York and Boston travellers.
 The new CTS will be in service be- tween New York and Boston Sunday night, Nov. 13, leaving 100 a.. m. due Boston at o'clock.

ABRIDGEPORTER'S
 SPEECH
Before the Aberdeen Wash. ]
 Chamber of Commerce
c Characteristic remarks of "Col." George E. Winton His Subject the Utiliza- tion of ,Logged-Of Lands Typical Digressions from the Subject.

At a. recent meeting of the Aberdeen CWash) Chamber of Commerce, called for the purpose of discussing the utili- zation of logged-off lands for agricul- tural purposes, speech was delivered by well-known resident of this city. and it is reported in an Aberdeen pa- per as follows:
 Colonel George E. Winton, of Bridge port. Conn.,, heavily interested in log ged-off lands, who has been in Aber- deen for the past six months in con- nect1on with his lands, was invited to address the chamber. He said that out of 6.G0O acres of logged-off lands which he controlled when he came here last April he now had remaining about 400 acres
 Colonel Winton has become a famil- far figure about Aberdeen the last few months because of his perpetual smile. his good nature and his witticisms on most any subject brought up for con- sideration
 Colonel Winton declared that since he had been here three industries had been brought to his attention. The first was the lumber and timber, the next the fishing and the third the in fant-because, as he explained, of the great number of baby carriages on the street.
 He spoke of Aberdeen's great har- Dor, and referred to the fact that Aberdeen should be raising it's pro- duce at home instead of buying it anywhere from 200 to 1000 miles from home
 What do you raise here?' asked the colonel.
 T will tell you" he said, laughing Tt is hell and umbrellas"
 He referred to the fact that the log ged-off lands must be utilized, that the seeds must be planted for the rain and sunshine to develop the crops and that two blades of grass must be made to grow where there is but one at this time.
 Colonel Winton took the stand that Washington must look to the crowded cities of the East for its future popu- lation and when the people came West they must be treated with considera- ton and given a square deal
 1 visited the Portland Rose festi- val" said Colonel Winton. "It was a beautiful exhibition. I watched the buds break into fragrant blossoms. The odors were delightful and pleased me. but, may I ask. can they make bread and pancakes out of rose leaveso Develop the lands for agricultural pu = poses and that is the solution of the problem for the future of your State. The people will come when properly induced, never fear''
 Colonel Winton sounded the key note for the discussion on logged-off lands.

SAYS
 SHERIFF HAWIIEY

Sheriff Hawley attributes his defeat to the Norwalks; they were. he says ..treacherous to me-" It was. he adds. "that Hill-Brandegee fight again
 The average of the votes in the Nor walks for the four Republican canol- dates below Governor-that is, for Lieut.. Governor. Secretary of state Treasurer and Comptroller-is 1,S1- Sheriff Hawley received 1.235 votes. or ese less than the above average.
 A similar Democratic average is 1,7e7. Sheriff elect vollmer received 735 in excess of this average.
 Vollmer's excess is 99 votes more than Hawley's loss, and the only pos- sible explanation Is that ss Republicans turned out for the sole purpose of vot- ing against Hawley.
 And so it appears that Sheriff HaW- lsy is correct in attributing his defeat principally to the Norwalks and Tn blaming therefor the Hill Republicans who desired to punish him for his Anti-Hill activity two years ago and to .'draw his teeth" in preparation TOT the next Senatorial contest.
 Whether their action was "treach- cry, as Haw1ey asserts. Is a debate able point. If 1t is treachery to bolt . candidate, then the much-praised principle of independence in voting Is radically wrong. Probably some TOO Norwalk Republicans will dissent from the Hawley conception of the meaning of fha word "treachery''

In Moody's Magazine, John Moody writes, relative to the stock market, as follows:
 It has been in the face of specific facts that we have seen a great recov- cry in the prices of the active stocks. This recovery has not been modest one. Among the active railroad is- sues we find that Atchison rose, be- tween July 26th and the last week of October. no less than 15 points; St. Paul rose 13 points; Union Pacific. 25 points; Southern Pacific, 15 points, and Northern Pacific nearly 10 points. Among the industrials some of the rises were even greater. American Car and Foundry recovered 15 points; United States Steel common IS points. and the lower-priced issues, like Cen tral Leather, United States Rubber and American Beet Sugar, from 10 to F points.
 When a recovery of these propor- tions has taken place, even in the midst of bear market, the tendency on the part of the speculative com munity is to jump to the conclusion that the fundamental trend of prices has changed and that, while we may expect reactions, the conditions have actually shaped themselves for per manent tendency toward higher prices. This is, generally speaking. the feel ing in Wall Street circles at the pres ent time. It is held that regardless of all sorts of tangible evidences to the contrary we are not justified now in seeing anything more than moder- ate recessions in prices and that the sure tendency of the market from now on will be upward.
 But there is little in the situation to really warrant such a view. In fact, it appears to us that the events which have taken place since the 1st of September more than ever empha- size the fact that we have not yet reached the req cumination of the bear market and that we are likely to see average prices of stocks back near the figures of last July before we can feel that the trend has definitely changed and that we have left the bear mar ket behind

IS
 H0PELESSLY OUT :. OF THE RACE NOW
Board of Health Will Look Else where For the Completion of
 the Garbage Contract

Now is the season for frosts and it looks as though Charles S. Wheel wright is one of them. At any rate, of Bridgeport's garbage for the future has absolutely failed to make good with his bond at the specified time, and in addition, will lose forfeit of s1. .O0O put up for him to insure good behavior.
 Yesterday the time elapsed for MT. Wheelwright to make good", and at that the Board of Health had already extended his days of grace a month seems that somebody else will be given an opportunity to handle the garbage problem in Bridgeport.
 Furthermore the Board of Health learned last night from George W. Finn, the real estate dealer from whom Wheelwright was to buy the land for the new garbage plant, that Wheel wright's option expired last Thursday and that MT. Finn had no intention of renewing it at the old price. So a further obstacle Is interposed between Wheelwright and success.
 'I gave him the first option with out the payment of cent" said MT. Finn. ''He has absolutely failed to make good and I don't feel that he deserves anything more. I think I have treated him very fairly as it is."
 The Board of Health held a meet ing at the first of the present month on which occasion an extension of ten days time was given for MT. Wheel wright to make good.'' He declar ed at that time that positively he would have his bond ready within the specified time. and a special forfeit of s1 900 was put up by him. At the meeting of the Board of Health last night it was the opinion of the board that MT. Wheelwright is out of the race and that his bond of $1,000 has been forfeited.
 Dorr R. Whitney, who has been con- ducting MT. Wheelwright's real estate transactions here. stated that he had received a registered letter from MT. Wheelwrigh asking whether or not if he deposited s60O0 on the land deal, the Board of Health would declare his bond forfeited and would let him go ahead and close the deal later. It was the opinion of the board last night that Wheelwright is hopelessly out of it unless he comes to Bridgeport at once and shows the color of his money. proving to the ample satisfaction of the board that he is in a position to go ahead at once with the comple- ton of the entire project.

NE. 0. P. MEMBERS GATHER IN HONOR
 OF ANNIVERSARY

Local members of the New England Order of Protection turned out in large numbers last night to attend the open meeting held at the Colonial ball room to commemorate the 23d anniversary of the order, completely filling the hall and enjoying an excellent musical pro- gram by such. singers as Miss Nanchen Adams, Mrs. A. A. Garfield, Joseph Wieler and Joseph E. Clabby besides listening to two excellent addresses upon the order by Supreme Treasurer John P. Sanborn of Newport R. l., and Grand Warden P E. Whalen of New Haven
 A dance program or 10 numbers to music by Bentley's orchestra closed the evenings entertainment. Both speakers dwelt upon the fact that the order had paid out s9,3 900 to the beneflciaries of 5,445 deceased members since it started, the order now num- bering 6S, GOO in the six New England States, of whom there were 16,000 in Connecticut. But both stated most emphatically that the low rates now prevailing could not continue unless there was a large increase in the membership. This increase was ob- ligatory upon the members upon whose good will and good work depended the future prosperity of the order.
 Upon their arrival in the city the two guests of the evening were enter tained at the Atlantic Hotel by mem bers of the joint committee of the six local lodges under whose auspices the celebration was held The commit tees in charge were made up as fol- lows:
 General committee-James l.. Chris tie Grand Vice Warden, chairman: William Parsons, secretary; James H. Tyre, Urea surer.

 I will try to fulfill the duties of the office faithfully. and promise that during the time I am in the office of sheriff it will not be used by any political machine.

The suggestion that the Democratic legislators-elect await the Republican gether and vote for the loser there and elect him with the help of his friends. is apparently Bulkeley move It assumes that the Bulkeley Republicans will bolt the caucus decree if assured of Democratic aid. If there is one Connecticut Republican whose election would be less distaste- full to Democrats than that of Sena- tor Bulkeley, we cannot recall his name.
