THE EVENING NEWS.

AoAAASAV moAucAS tVSh paw shos We
have ever been called upon to record.
In a small house on D street, q few
doors north Of Union, there lived a wo-
mar Of the town who is known by the
name Of julie Broulette. She has been
a resident Of Virginia for five OIL six
years, and for a woman of her kind, sus-
tanned a good name, always being ready
to lend assistance both with her hands
and money in any case where it was re-
quired. She had always proved a kind
friend to fremen in cases Of sickpess,
being ever ready to do anything in her
power to alleviate their sufferings. In
addition to the large amounts of money
she spent in this way, she made many
valuable presents TO Engine Co. No. l,
of which she was elected an honorary
member, and by which we understand
she will be buried to-day. For the last
three months she has been confined to
her bed the greater portion Of the time,
but for the last week her health having
improved, she returned to Virginia, hay-
ing been in Carson for a month or more.
Saturday evening she went to the The
ater. but.was refused admission by the
front door and returned home. Moth
ing more was seen of her until eleven
O'Clock on Sunday morning, when an
other woman went into her room 10 call
her for breakfast. When she entered
the room she found her laying in bed
with a pillow over her face, which she
removed. Not until then did she dis
cover anything wrong. The bed under
her head was saturated with blood and
the victim showed signs Of having beer
choked TO death. The AFFIRM was at
once given, and several parties rushed
into the house, among whom was otheer
McGinniss, who informs US that the
corpse was perfectly cold and stiff, and
in his opinion, the murder must have
been committed in the early part OF the
evening previous. On examination OF
the body no marks of violence excepting
around the neck and head. The head
showed signs OF having been beaten
with a stick Of wood, and just above
the right eye was a small hole through
the skull which had evidently been
made BY being struck with the cock OF
a revolver, all of which would not have
caused instant death. But on her
throat are the inger-marks where the
villain had held her until she strangled.
The nails of the fingers and thumb had
cut through the skin, so tight was the
hold with which he grasped her. TIE
distorted visage shows evident proofs OF
s~trangulation. The poor unfortunate
woman has no relations on the coast,
and all the history we could gather in
regard to who she was, is as follows, to-
wit: She was born in London, and
came to the State of Louisiana where
she married q man by the name of
Smith, and afterwards she came to this
coast. She has an uncle and brother
living in the State Of Louisiana still.
She is supposed TO be 35 years Did. AS
to who committed this outrageous act
nothing is supposed to be known, n
by a special request we Will not
even venture TO make a guess at 1t.
But it IS an old saying: Murder will
out" If the person who committed
this horrible murder is found out, we
hope the punishment of hanging will be
dispensed with. Virginia seems to be
retrograding in a moral point OF view,
and unless the horde Of villains who
now infest the place either stop their
d%epredations or leave the place, there
will be a movement made by the better
classes similar to that which renovated
San Francisco; and if worse comes TO
worse, il is the desire of every good
citizen to see the thing done up in good
style; making the work complete.
OPERA Housx.-The performance at
the Opera House, Saturday evening on
the occasion of the benefit Of K. II.
Taylor. As we predicted, it was COM
plete success. The house was well I'LL
ed; the dress circle being a perfect jam.
The performance was one ofthe best ever
put before the citizens Of Virginia and
Gold Hill. Huling in the character OF
the Old Man, was played as well as we
have ever seen itdone in any place, or by
any one. Taylor, Mrs. Sue Robinson
Getzler and Cain, all played their diff
ferent parts with much credit to them
selves and to the entire satisfaction of
the large audience present. In fact the
whole club did better than we ever seen
them do before and our people should
be proud of their Amature troupe.
LIBERTY HOSE BALL.-The FIRE laddies
Of Liberty Hose No. l, Gold Hill, sail
out to-day in our "New' advertising
column with the official announcement
of their Third Annual Ball, to come Oh
on the 22d Of February. Liberty One
always gives u good Ball, and the ap-
preaching one will be no exception.
Mike McClusky is getting the heater
Hall into good trim, and the other ar
engagements for q fine time will be up to
the requirements Of the occasion.
GONE FROM OUR GAzx.-Last evening
we bid adieu to our friend, T. B. Fowler,
for a long time Deputy County Recorder
of Storey county. He left this morning
on the Pioneer Stage on his way to his
old home in the Atlantic States. he
has been q resident on this coast for the
past ten years. He leaves behind him
many warm friends. We wish him q
pleasant Journey and a joyous meeting
with those from whom he has been
separated so long.
SrRxErs IN vIRoISIA.-The streets in
Virginia have again thawed out, and
from one end to the other are a COM
plete sea Of mud. This has truly been
the most dissgreeable winter we have
ever seen in Nevada. For the past two
months there has not been three con-
secutive pleasant days.
WHIrr & MIrcHELL.-There IS not q
place in Gold Hill or Virginia where a
person can find better billiard tables or
better liquors than at this place. They
Keen nothing but a No. l article OF
LIQUORS and cigars. No headaches from
their beverages.
RrpucEp.-The rates Of charges on
Fast Freight on the Pioneer Line have
been reduced. See notice in another
column.
ButI,oS.-There was shipped from
