II EVENING NEWS.

" IL
formation elected regarding the sad acct
dent in the Imperial mine yesterday morn
ing, by which Mr.. Schmidt lost his life, it
appears that no one connected with the
mine can possibly be blamed for the mis-.
hap but himself. In our account Of the
accident, we should have stated that the
cage on which he was to run his car, loaded
with ore, to be drawn to the top, was sew
enty-fve feet below his level, and not
G6ors, as stated. The unfortunate man had
sent cage down himself, bu, he had perhaps
forgotten the fact, and rolled the car out
into the shaft. We make this explanation
in justice to the other men connected with
the mine-as our account yesterday of the
cage being drawn Gbore the level where
the unfortunate man fell out, might leave
the impression that the engineer and
brakeman were remiss. Such is not the
fact, although some Of the explanations at
the Coroner's inquest left such an impress
sion as we stated.
Music HALL.-Last evening at Music
Hall the startling sensational play Of
"Mazeppa, or the Wild Horse of Washoe,"
was placed on the stage in magnificent
style. with all its rich scenery, parapher-
MALTA and scenic effects. Besides this there
was an excellent programme of entertain
ment, and in the interlude was introduced
a grand official expose of the mighty and
wonderful sphinx" which has been on
exhibition at the Hall for some weeks
past, greatly to the wonderment and mys-
ti6cation Of all who saw it. Even after il
was exposed no one could tell positively
what il was /; but this evening another and
more full expose Of it will be made, when
the person or persons who will tell to q
certainty what it is, will be allowed to
drink all the lager they choose to pay for,
At a bit a glass. The same programme
will be repeated this evening, by special
request.
The VIomAScB BELL.-rhe Monu-
mentals Of San Francisco, having sold the
bell which hung over their engine house,
to a Nevada fire company, it has been
spoken Of as the old bell Of the Vigilantes.
An exchange corrects this, explaining that
the bell which was used by the Vigilance
Committee, and whose deep tones had
more power to startle and alarm the peo-
pie than any bell now actively employed
in that city-the. bell whose sonorous
voice aroused the inhabitants of the Bay
City, and changed far and wide during the
grea. 6res Of 81 and so, now hangs in
the Pioneer Hall, whence there is no in
ten,ion Of removing 1t.
