THE EVENING NEWS.

Typo WARD FALLS FEARYuLLY.-The
s. F. Olympic Club gave a grand eShi-
bition at the Metropolitan Theatre, on
last Tuesday night. Mr.. L. P. Ward, a
typo well known ~hereabouts in both of
his professions, came very near drop
ping his gymnastic vitals out, on the
occasion, as will appear from the fol-
lowing extract from the ALIAS account
Of the performances: SAN accident
occurred while performing the danger
Gus Niagara Leap-Mr. Seligman, sus-
pended by his feet in the proscenium,
holds a small trapeze, on which Mr.. l..
P. Ward does some of the usual daring
feats Of the Horizontal Bar, but just as
the performance was concluding, Ward
slipped from the trapeze, and would
have fallen TO the stage with terrific
force but for the courage and quickness
Of Mr.. c. A. Bennett, who caught him
in his arms, the shock taking both to
the floor. Ward instantly jumped up,
and, to show that he was not injured,
turned a handspring and treasured the
audience Of his safety by his bows.
There is no end to Wards courage, but
falling from such a height is too dan
gerous an experiment to be repeated"
Local HosPIrAL.-The smallpox hay-
ing broken out in Virginis-although TO
but a very limited extent-and there
being several cases Of very light vario-
loid in Gold Hill, our town authorities
have considered il safest to provide a
local hospital for any cases existing in
our community. 4 building is now
being constructed, and it will be ready
TO be occupied by tomorrow night-so
we are informed by Marshal Began,
who is experimenting the affair. 1t is
located in the ravine east OF the
Imperial quartz mill about a quar-
ter of a mile, and well out Of the way in
case Of its being occupied by smallpox
patients. The prompt action on the
part of our town authorities in this mat
ter, is worthy of commendation. We
cannot but hope that our community
will be saved the affection of a couta-
gious complaint-there is 40 cause Of
uNNu hAaAhA IL huAc
well to be prepared for the worst.
VIRGINIA CRY TO TRUcxEE.-For three
yesrs-since the first Legislature Of the
State-a special franchise has stood
upon the Statute book, to a company
that promised and sought TO construct q
railroad between the points named.
There is no doubt of the good faith, in
invention and endeavor, of this COM
pany. And but for the sudden and
great depreciation in our mining stocks.
there is little reason to doubt that suc-
cess would have crowned their efforts.
As, however, 'things went down" the
company first chartered, BY special en-
actment Of the Legislature, were unsuc-
cessful in their efforts to raise money
for their project; aud without money
you can't build Railroads. There is a
general railroad incorporation law on
our Statute books, under which any
company can organize and construct the
railroad hence TO the Truckee, if they
desire 10 do so.
GET Your LIKESESs!-Dr. Beals, Of
the Gold Hill Photograph Gallery, will
