THE EVENING NEWS.

WONDERFUL ESCAPE FROM FIRE.-This
morning, when the clerk of Morrin's drug
store, South c street, Virginia, opened
the doors he was a~stonished and alarmed
at finding a dense volume OF smoke rush
ing out, and after a moment he found his
way to the further end Of the store and
opened the back shutters, and soon the
room was free from smoke. Upon exam
ina,ion it was found that by some means
the stove had toppled over. evidently spill
ing some Goals on the floor, which was
burned for a space Of two feet square.
Several boxes were also burned, and some
barrels, kegs and sacking. The heat was
so great that the sides of the shelves are
scorched and blackened for a long dis
lance, and the entire goods Of the store
are blackened and badly damaged from
smoke. The iron shutters being closed,
the smoke became so dense as to smother
the FIRE before it had reached anything
combustible or infiammable. The loss
will probably reach $1,000, covered by
insurance. The escape from a ruinous
confiagration was most wonderful.
BELL RINGERs.-To-night the famous
Bell Ringers will give one Of their enter
tainments at the Opera House in Virginia.
The announcement that there will be a
crowd is not at all astonishing, for who
that has heard the harmonious chime of
those silvery bells but that will be present,
and who that has not heard them but that
will go and embrace this last opportunity
Of listening to the most beautiful music
this side Of Jordan: The troupe COM
prises the Blaisdell family and several
other artists, and have just returned from
a tour through Oregon, Idaho. Montana,
Utah and Salt Lake. The precocious
little Miss Clara is with the troupe, and
she alone would attract q crowd to witness
her wonderful versatility. Go tonight,
everybody, and hear the Bell Ringers.
A CARp.-In our advertising columns
may be found a card from W. S. Frank,
prescription clerk at the Drug Store OF
J. Armitage, near the corner of c and
Union streets, Virginia. Considerable eS-
citemeut has been raised relative to the
alleged mistake of Frank in giving NOR
phine for quinine, and much injustice has
been done Mr.. Armitage personally. who
in no manner could be blamed for the I'M
fortunate occurrence, as he was not in the
store at the time. AS to Mr.. Frank, we
must suspend judgment until we hear the
evidence and verdicto Of the Coroner's jury,
and then, if that verdict is one Of justifca-
ton. we will be only too glad to do him
all reparation in u power.
An AccIpESr.-Last evening, about S
o'clock, DR.. Collins, Of Dayton. was
thrown from his horse. on the Divide, and
seriously injured. He was taken to the
residence of Mr.. Addison and DR.. Bryarly
was called. All efforts to arous him TO
consciousness have failed, and at noon to-
day his situation was very critical. His
injuries are internal, and his chance for
recovery very small.
Music HALL.-A good entertainment is
given nightly, and Cramer cndeavors to
please his friends. Tonight, Mrs. Sam
Wells will sing a new song, from Arrah-
na-Pouge, that has created such a sensa-
lion in San Francisco besides, Tuers,
Campbell and Carrie Chapman will dance
a variety of dances, sing numerous songs,
and say lots Of new sayings.
a CHANGE.-Dick Ross has leased the
International Hotel, Virginia, and White
x Cunningham, of the Lewis Saloon, will
take out the several partitions where now
are a cigar and fruit stand, move the bar
to the southt side Of the building, and
have the Hotel office where the bar is now
located, and thus make a General Stage
Office on c street, where it should be.
A WORD TO THB WIsB.-The gentle
man who took al opera glass from a seat
in the paIquette of the Opera House, on
its opening night, will do well by leaving
the same at the Washoe Exchange Saloon,
for our Virginia local.
