ToNopHA HAS ANOTHER FIRE.

Sunday morning Tonopah was
visited by another disasterous fire
and a damage OF thirty-ive thousand
dollars was the result. The fire
broke out in the Miners Union hall
at $3.50 a. m, and rapidly communi-
Gated to the adjoining buildings. The
Miners Union hall was a two story
frame building and was soon a roar
ing furnace which for a time theaten-
ed destruction to the portion of the
city in which it was located. Only by
the hardest of work was the fire pre-
vented from crossing the street and
destroying that portion of the city.
So fierce were the flames and SO
threatening that wagons and auto
mobiles were secured and the goods
the stores on the opposite side
the street were carried 10 SAFE
The flames from the hall soon
communicated to the Miners Ex-
change saloon, the Tonopah Grill,
Jacks Restaurant, Owl saloon,
Merkle Shoe store and another small
store adjoining. The buildings were
soon reduced to heaps of ashes and
the greater part of their contents
went with the buildings.
The Miners Union lost all Its
records and a number of valuable
books which were in the library.
1t is understood that the work of
rebuilding will be commenced at
once.

SHERIFF FARRELL WILL APPEAL.

The attorneys for Sheriff Ferret in
his suit against Washoe county have
under stipulation with the district
attorney secured more time from the
district attorney in which TO prepare
papers for az appeal. They are not
satisfied with Judge French's opinion
sustaining the demurrer of the county
to the sherif's complaint as to his
claim for back license money and in
tend to take it to the supreme
court. The district attorney has
granted them until September End
to prepare their appeal.
Judge French held that the claim
of the sheriff for back percentage on
licenses collected, could not be col
lected for the reason that he had not
held the money out and had not pre-
sented his claims to the county COM
m~issioners within six months from
the time each claim accrued. The at
~torneys for the sheriff have notified
the district attorney that they will
appeal from this decision.

torical and social nature. Six speak
ers took part in the debate: Rev. e.
H. Jagdstein, G. Wirth, A. F. Bliesner,
9. Kopp, Jr, ]. Fashion and Geo.
Risto
The first questions were In regard to
the religious attitude OF the Roman
rulers, Constantine and julius. The
! first was neither calculating hypo,
crit. nor perfect christian, but may
rightly be called the founder Of the
christian state The question,
whether church and scripture are in
favor Of woman suffrage was answer
ed that they are neither in favor nor
disfavor of 1t. But 1t is, however
significant, that the great defenders
of the woman suffrage, ]. St. Hill and
Herbert Spencer were hostile to chris
tianity.
A number OF questions alluded te
the church and modern life and were
answered with the attitude OF the
church federation to modern prob
lens.
i Among other things the church
stands for equal rights and complete
justice for all In all stations of life;
i for the principle of councilation an6
arbitration; for the protection OF tht
workers from dangerous machinery
4 for the abolition of child labor; for the

cussion was very animated and help
full. Rev. E. H. .Jagdstein closed the
convention with prayer.
