THE EVENING NEWS.


PAINFUL AccrDsNr.-One Of the worl
men in the Empire mine, in Gold Hill
whose name is Hugh Kelly, met with
very painful, but not fatal, accident TIL
morning. 1t seems he was at work at O
near the top of the shaft, when, as we al
informed, something fell and struck hir
on the head, which caused him to fall int
the cage, or car, of the shaft. His hea,
struck something sharp, and cut hole il
his scalp, on the left side, near the top, a
least three inches long, tearing the scall
open down the skull as many more inches
The wounded man was brought down tc
DR.. Halls office, his head, face, and meek
covered with gore. The Doctor and an
assistant carefully dressed the wound, and
Kelly was taken TO his home. The great
est wonder Is that he was not instantly
killed. Had the car not been near where
Kelly fell. he would undoubtedly have
fallen to the bottom of the shaft, dis
lance of five hundred feet-whieh would
certainly have been the last of him. II
was the most lucky escape from instant
death that has happened for some time.
SHoorINe.-For a long time Virginia
has had no ARRAY worthy of chronicling,
but last night an Italian named Santiago,
and an accomplace, went to the Washing
ton Brewery, at the corner of Mill and d
streets, swearing to kill some one there
against whom an old grudge existed.
After reaching the brewery, one of the pro-
pnetors, German named Gurchman,
told the Italians to leave, and got them
outside of the door, but they persisted in
standing in that place, cursing the Ger
man and using foul talk; finally the Ger
man went and opened the door, when
Santiago drew a pistol and fired through
the half open door, the shot taking effect
in the right side of the German. Officers
Ward and Hurst at once arrested the
man, and conveyed him to the station
house. DR.. Weight being summoned, up
on an examination OF the wound, pro-
nounced il not dangerous, the ball being
stopped before touching a vital part, and
being q Householder ball, did not possess
sufficient force to penetrate the bowels.
The italian will have hearing to-day.
CELEBRATION OF ST. PATRIcK's DAY IN
GoLD HILL.-We are pleased to notice
that arrangements are being made by the
Sons and Daughters of the Emerald Isle.
residing here, to get up celegration on
the 18th Of March. We are told by those
already interested in this affair, that it is
the intention of the Commute of Arrange
ments to get up supper and ball, as is
customary in all large cities throughout
America, and all countries that we know
of. By having supper and ball thr same
night, it strikes US as being a capital idea,
especially as the proceeds win be appro-
priated to the liquidation of the debt of
st. Patrick's Church in this town. That
this affair will be patronized BY the citi-
zens of Gold Hill and Virginia we have
no doubt. By all means give us an old
fashioned Irish celebration, including all
the toasts which are customary on such
an occasion, and We predict. that it will
be one of the most agreeable affairs ever
gotten up this side of the Mountains.

DULL.-We have never seen Virginia
wear so dull an appearance as for two days
past. Policemen stand around vainly
watching for a drunk and disorderly
LAWYERS are ill-suited at their lack of new
suits. and local reporters in vain search
for items. Oh! for couple of murders,
fires, horrible accidents, or other refresh
ing calamities.
REDUCED. The water in the Ophir
shaft has been reduced so that only one
hundred and thirty feet remains; how
ever, the big pump and three engines will
shortly be up, and then we may look to
see the water in this mine entirely reduced.
The aggregate capacity Of the new en-
gines will be about two hundred horse
power.
SrEuDEMAN assures US that his stock of
boots, shoes, and such like, has not yet
failed. and he will always be happy to
furnish barefoot humanity with the best
the market affords, at living prices.
