Fl EVENING NEWS.

light a vegetable market man by the name
of Peter Secile was stopped in the canon
below Flowery, by two foot-pads, whose
faces were concealed by a thick black
cloth, and who demanded his money.
One seized the horse by the head while
the other presented a cooked revolver 70
Peters head, who thought discretion the
better mar, of yalor, and who at once held
I'M his hands. The horse became resta-
tive. however, and u shot was fred, which
Peter thinks was TO intimidste him..
Finally the thieves "went through"
Peter and relieved him Of $40 so in coin
all he had. About half an hour later the
driver Of a milk wagon named William
Meyers, while coming into Virginia with
his usual supply Of the tactical, was
stopped at the same place by two men,
who were undoubtedly the robbers Of
Peter. Meyers was forced to submit to
their demands, and was relieved Of S75
in gold coin by these agents of the road,
who then left for hills. The loss on
Meyers is particularly severe at this time.
These robberies are becoming alarmingly
frequent and unless some effective mea-
sures are adopted to hang two or three OF
the robbers it will be unsafe for a man to
pass up C street after midnight.
MADAME ANNA BIsHop.-lt is with
great pleasure that We o the pro-
fessional appearance of this distinguished
vocalist and pianist in Virginia and Gold
Hill during the coming week. Her con-
certs will afford a treat to the music low
ing portion Of our communities, and this
classification embraces a very large share
of the adult population. Performances Of
the character advertised by Madame
Bishop have always drawn crowded audi
ences in our Nevada towns; and there are
many old associations and recollections
revived with Madame Bishops return to
this Coast that will lend additional inter-
est to her concerts. Her published pro-
gramme is one of excellent taste and we'll
adapted to specially please an audience
composed Of Nevada pioneers with Cali
fornia antecedents. Welcome to Madame
Anna, "the soul Of song"
MAorIRE's OPERA HoUsB.-Lass night
was the opening at the new place, and the
house was crowded from pit to dome.
The performance was excellent, and it is a
fact that those two inimitable comedians,
Harry Courtaine and Walter Bray, are
without equals on the Pacific Coast.
Miss Emma Miles made her first bow, and
was we'll received. Flora Bray and Mag
gle Brewer are too long favorites to need
especial mention. John Allen, an accom-
plished musician, won great applause by
a gridiron solo and II pipe-stem opera. He
is immense. Tonight there will be given
another huge old show Peasley & Hem
mingway are bound to win, if good treat
ment to patrons is trump.
WASHINGTON DIsrRIcr.-But little has
lRtterly been said relative to this district,
which lies to the northeast of Virginia.
Work has, however, heen steadily pro-
crossing in a tunnel, to cut a ledge at the
depth Of 900 feet from the face Of the hill.
Lately a blind ledge was cut, thirteen feet
wide, with well defined castings, and very
rich in sulphurets of silver, some assaying
Sl96 per ton. The tunnel has but fifty
feet further to be u to cut the main
ledge that crops largely above, and from
which "great expectations we trust may
be realized. The cutting Of the blind
ledge was such an unexpected stroke of
good fortune that it has awakened new
interest throughout the district.
PREPARING FOR WINTBR.-.The various
mills down the canon are making prepara-
tons for cold weather and bad roads by
laying in large quantities of fuel. Their
wood-yards are nearly all well filed, and
those mills that are not yet fully supplied
are having their wood-piles largely in
creased by having divers loads added TO
them every day. The Piute mill has the
largest supply. II has nine hundred cords
piled up In its woodward. Nine hundred
cords! Think of that! Enough to grind
out thousands Of dollars WORTH Of bullion;
yea hundreds Of thousands.
FASHIONABLE CLorHING.-Barnert & Co.,
an old and we'll established clothing firm of
Virginia, have removed to the new store cor
ner OF C and Taylor streets, where they offer
70, sale one OF the largest, most fashionable
and well selected stocks of goods ever offered
in Virginia. They constantly employ a
fashionable tailor, who manufactures goods
20 order, and guarantees perfect fits to all
patrons. Ladies can procure boys clothes
cut to suit and strongly and faithfully made.
Barnert & Co. are gentlemen Of unquestioned
business integrity, and purchasers will do
well to give them an early call.
PIONEER FouNpRY.-The Pioneer Foun-
dry is busy. 1t has all the work it can
do a. present. and it turns out a large
amount. 1t does good work. That is
the secret Of its success. Thomas Lane,
one of the Union nominees for the Assem-
bly,, is connected with the establishment.
He is a pioneer, and fully identified with
the interests Of the country. He Is well
known, is popular, and is surely to be
elected.
NEW TALENT AT Music HALL.-Max
Water, the indcfa,igable proprietor Of
Music Hall, has made arrangements by
which, after two or three nights, he will
have a new face each night upon his stage.
Dancers, singers, actors and musicians
male and female-will appear in quick
succession for the edification Of the pat
rons of the house.
LoADED.-The stages from Ingraham's
Station are daily loaded with as many re-
turning Excelsiorians as can be accommo-
dated TO a seat. The near approach of
winter drives them to u genial climate
for comfortable quarters. It IS not every
one who lives in such a delightful climate
as we Of Virginia and Gold Hill.
ARTIsrIc.-We have seen some work in
the painting line, done by Samuel A.
Snow. of No. 10 North b street. Virginia,
that shows a creditable proficiency in the
art. See his card.
NIAoARA.-Amos Dennis continues pro-
prie,or Of the well-known billiard saloon at
No. 10 North B street, Virginia. where may
always be found some fine billiard tables, and
AZ the bar as good liquors, wines and ales as
can be bought in Nevada.
NEARLY FTSIsHED.-Almost the entire
labor Of removing the office Of the Gould &
Curry has been accomplished, and the ele-
CANT brick structure, near the Bonner shaft,
yy;1 soon he ocrnnied nv the otfcera. Hugh
