MORNING APPEAL.
SATURDAY DECEJIBEP 1, 1877
THE FUNERAL OF THE
F. RICE.
LATE HENRY
The Right Reverend Bishop Whittaker, as
sisted by Rev. H. L. Foote, Rector of this
Parish, conducted the funeral services yester
iiay, over the mortal remains of our lamented
fellow citizen, the late Henry F. Rice, Presi
dent f the Town Council of Carson City.
We have seldom seen so numerous an attend
ance. Gentlemen and ladies from Storey
Washoe and JJouglas counties came m very
considerable numbers. About 2 o'clock, the
coffin, preceded by the Bishop and Rector
the former reciting the service for the dead,
entered the south aisle of the church and pro
ceeded to the chancel. The coffin was borne
by pall bearers selected from the ranks of the
attendant Masons, the deceased being of that
order. The church was filled as was also the
Sunday-schol room. Many, being unable to
get even standing room in the church re
mained in the yard. The choir was composed
of three male voices, Messrs. Laughton, Ma
son and Scoville. Miss Frances Hodgkinson
presided at the organ. The services closed by
singing the Hymn beginning with the words,
"When I can read my title clear." This
hymn was sung to the music composed by
Professor Passmore for the funeral of the
late Chas. JS. DeLong. 11ns dirge was sung
with much solemnity of tone and effect. The
altar was appropriately draped in black with
immortelles of evergreen, and with flowers.
In all respects the services were exceedingly
impressive. Among the bodies of men in at
tendance were thirty-eight employes of the
Mint, including Superintendent Crawford and
other officers. The Masons were largely rep
resented. The cortege was very long and
contained a great number of private and pub
lic carriages. The Town Council was in at
tendance, also the State officers and many
members of the Bar of Ormsby and Storey
counties. The attendance of ladies was very
large. Many Pioneers were observable in the
throng. At the grave the solemn ceremonies
of the Episcopal church were observed. An3
thus is laid in the earth all that is perishable
of a man whose character, whose work and
whose sense of duty as a citizen and a public
servant are fit subjects of emphatic approval
and private emulation. Our dead neighbor
deserves well of his remaining townsmen ;
and the spot where he is laid should be marked
for future honors. I
ITEMS.
Among the Renoites in the city yesterday
was Mr. Ben Leete. Lathy and brittle as of
yore, is Ben.
Hons. B. C. Whitman and J. F. Lewis were
in attendance upon the obsequies yesterday.
If they would take the bell out of the belfry
of St. Peters' and hang it on the fence fewer
people would know that it is cracked.it might
if good luck attended, be stolen, and it
wouldn't thump the whole building like a
catapult whenever it happened to be rung.
Coat sleeves and skirts with Ormsby House
paint on 'em justify the active market in ben
zine. Cap'n Matthewson has got his game arm
out of its sling and into his overcoat pocket.
Judge Beatty's condition at last accounts,
was still a critical one.
That's a gorgeous boot blackery, is that
brass mounted stand in the Hormsberry
'Ouse bar.
The weather is too beautiful for any prac
tical use. It acts as if it were afraid of get
ting its feet wet.
Mark Gaige has returned from Walker
River. He looks like a Granger.
The special train from Virginia City came
down in one hour yesterday. His Honor,
Mayor Belknap came down on it. He looks
robustious, does the Mare.
Hon. James W. Haynes of the Centennial
Commission was in the city yesterday.
His Honor, Judge Edson f the Genoa ju
diciary visited Carson on Thanksgiving day.
He says business is prosperous.
There is a post under the north end of the
Ormsby House balcony which leans as badly
as the Tower of Pisa. As Felix McStagger
said to his friend in the torch-light procession,
"straighten up, McNamee, its not a hod ye
have, it's a torch-light, be Jabers." Felix's
advice to his fellow Paddy may furnish a hint
to the post-man the condition of whose charge
we have thus hinted at.

FIRE ALARM.
Last evening between 8 and 9 o'clock the
firemen were roused out by an alarm. Some
emotional person went rushing across Capitol
Square bawling out " Fire, firefire at the
lower end of town!" Well, there was a bonfire
in the street thereaway, but nothing more
serious. The engines came out and the hose
cart, and the street was very much alive. It
only took a few minutes to show that there
was n need of the engines : and so the hose
carts were reeled home and the hand ma
chines were speedily housed. The Swift
stopped at the King street cistern and
steamed up for about five minutes, and all
was over.
Boisterous. A man by the name of But
cher entered a restaurant in the upper portion
f the city, last evening, in a beastly state of
intoxication and commenced knocking things
around. Conductor Pierce, who was in the
room, remonstrated with him, but being treat
ed with violence, knocked the offender down
and administered a couple of well directed
kicks. The intoxicated man howled loudly
and professed to be much iniured. Dr. Her-
rick was called and found only a few bruises.
The injuries are not of a serious nature.
When he sobers up more definite information
as to the extent of his punishment may be
obtained-
Passed Through. On Wednesday the
Director's car of the Union Pacific Railroad
reached Carson and laid over one day. It
contained William Orton, President of the
Western Union Telegraph Company, and
lady, General Auston Stager, Superinten
dant Western Division, and James Gamble,
Superintendent of Pacific Division, all under
the management and general engineering
skill of the the lightning manipulator, Frank
Bell of Reno, who is the chief boss and grand
high muck a muck of telegraph wires and
poles and things hereabout. The whole
party went to Virginia to see the sights and
mines and went back the same evening well
pleased and comforted.
Accident. Yesterday afternoon a boy, the
f 1 IT T T T ' - 1 x
son, we are inrormea oi iir. o. u. jaiigm,
was run over by one of Duffy's drays. We
could not learn whether the boy was on the
dray or not, but certain it is, that some how
or other the uray passeu over mm, irauiy
bruising the right shoulder and breaking
what is known as the shin bone. We forbear
the general subject of medical terms. Dr.
Luce was called in, set the misplaced member
and the patient is doing well.
Passengers. By the train last night the
following pilgrims sought the sweet repose of
the Bay : Mrs. D. A. Bender and daughter?.
Messrs. Graffe and Stager of the Western
Union Telegraph Co. F. M. Thayer, Super
intendent of the Julia. Geo. Gillson of Gill
son & Barber of ours, and Superintendent
Gould of the North Carson, Ayers & Hopkins
mines. The latter gentleman on business
matters intent. Things are looking up.
Bullion. Received yesterday by Wells,
Fargo & Co. per southern stage, three bars
from Northern Belle mine, valued at 4,741;
and one bar from the Diana at $300; two
bars from the Endowment at Marietta, val
ued at 2,197. and four bars from the Co
manche mine at Benton, valued at $4,092.
This is the largest shipment received at this
office for several days, and speaks well for
the southern outlook.
Charley Van Gorder. The following
statement regarding the condition of Charley
Van Gorder is from the Chronicle of last
evening : Charley Van Gorder's best suit of
clothes was sent t Sacramento by express
last evening, in compliance with a dispatch
received here about 4 o'clock in the afternoon,
stating that he was not expected to live over
night.
State Bonds. Yesterday the Carson City
Savings Bank received a telegram from a firm
m JNew lork, inquiring at what price the
State would dispose of $10,000 of the State
bonds issued in 1871 and maturable in 1881.
The State Treasurer was consulted and a dis
patch forwarded making an offer at one hun
dred and eight. Reply not as yet received.
The Turner's Ball was a very great success,
and it finished the exercises of Thanksgiving
Day in fine style. The local attendance was
very numerous, and there were many guests
from Virginia City and other neighboring
towns.
The Emmett Troupe left Carson on Wedn
esday morning for Virginia, where we see
they are running a very succestful engage
ment. The troupe is under the management
of General Burton, formerly Colonel of the
48th new Sorts.
At a special meeting of the Board f Trus
tees of Carson, held on the 28th instant, the
following preamble and resolutions were
unanimously adopted :
Whereas, We his official associates, are
left to mourn the death of the President of
this body, Hon. H. F. Rice, now be it
Resolved, That the bereavement thus
sustained is a public calamity such as befals
a community whenever one of its most hon
orable, trusted and useful members is taken
away. We mourn the death of a man whose
wisdom, honesty of purpose and executive
capacity were for many years faithfully de
voted to the private business with whose
conduct he was intrusted ; of a man whose
industry and sagacious management were in
valuable aids in the formation of Ormsby
county and the administration of its earlier
affairs, of a man whose superior qualifica
tions were made available in the construction
and original organization of the United States
Mint ' in this city ; and of one who, ever
since the incorporation of our Town Govern
ment, has been called, by the almost unani
mous voice of his fellow citizens, to a mem
bership of this Board.
Resolved, That we offer our heartiest
sympathy to the wife, son and relatives who
by this mournful visitation are bereft of a
kind and indulgent husband, father and
friend.
Resolved, That the members and officers
of this Board attend the funeral in a body;
that these Resolutions be spread upon the
minutes ; and that a copy of the same be
transmitted to the widow of our deceased as
sociate. D. A. Bender,
President pro tern.
Attest : Alfred Helm, Clerk.
Carson, Nev. , Nov. 23, 1877.
"We Too." The Reveille asserts the fol
lowing with a Sazaracker's effort at truth-telling:
A Chinaman named Wee Too arrived
from Battle Mountain on the stage this morn
ing. It is related that when he booked his
name at Battle Mountain for passage to Aus
tin, walking up to the desk and saying "Wee
Too," Alex. Robertson, the agent, looked up
and asked: "Where's the other one?" The
"other one" not being forthcoming, Alex,
told Too to get aboard, but said it was not
customary usually to carry Two for one fare,
but he would make an exception in this in
stance; though he expected Clugage would
"kick" if he found it out.

PlSTINGUISHED PERSONAGE. The
Piute chief, Winnemucca the big Injun passed
through yesterday morning for Virginia, to
consult with, well, anyone his majesty pleas
eth, on the state and condition of the tribe, or
any other subject. He was arrayed, as has
been previously announced by the papers on
the line of the C, P. B, R , in his full and
complete uniform, presented by, we forget the
donor, but he looked gorgeous and more like
a comanding officer than Governor McClellan
of New Jersey, whom we have gazed upon in
full regimentals. He (Winnemucca not Mc
Clellan), was attended by his staff, that is to
say Natchez, and the entire force presented a
stunning and martial appearance.
Frank MgCuUough's wounded eye is get
ting along bravely. Tto scar is hardly perceptible.
Some shots fired in the direction of Me-
der's mill last evening, about the time of the
alarm of fire, helped along the excitement.
If anybody was killed or wounded we have
not found it out.
Powning C. C, he of the Reno Journal,
spent the day at the capitol yesterday. He
shed the benign light of his side flippers upon
us and we feel better. We are indebted to
him for several and sundry items.
On Thanksgiving day there was a plentiful
supply of first-class, palateable, foaming egg-
nogg at JHagees. It was manipulated by
that erudite mixologist, Tommy. We are
told it was way up.
Mr. H. B. Loomis, long connected with
the Enterprise, goes to Eureka to take charge
of the Daily Republican. He is a capable
