". P. TERMINAL

At $3.50 o'clock yesterday morning
the Western Pacific station. The
hosecart was rushed across the river,
when it was discovered that the blaze

house the flames were confined to this
building and the two other nearby
structures were saved. Loss, $3.50,
fully insured. The fire is thought to
have originated from sparks blown out
of the stove by wind coming down the
chimney

vieing. Samuel w. Belford of Reno,
and Attorney General George b.
Thatcher are understood to have
sought the plum.

The new postmaster at Reno
promises to be either John b. O'Sul-
livan or Fred l.. White and the new
postmaster af Goldfeld either John
F. Vardaman, who is a brother of
United States Senator Vardaman, of
Mississippi, or Ben Rosenthal.

Secretary of the Interior Lane has
asked the Nevada senators to rec
cmmend a man for receiver of the
land Office at Carson City and they
win comply shortly. The term of
| fremont would not have expired till
April 9th next, but it is expected the
forthcoming nomination will be for
