THE EVENING NEWS.

NANNN
take a shot at any one who provokes
you, or else wade in and give him a
solid pounding. Last night two team
sters at the Ashland House on the Di-
vide, differed in opinion and found it
impossible to come to any definite I'M
derstandiRg, so they stepped outside and
waded into one another with q will.
After pounding each other for half an
hour and neither party getting the best
Of it, they, by mutual consent, drew
out. We wonder if they feel better sat-
isfed than they would have done had
they gone to bed like sensible menu It
is all right as long as they abuse one
another and let the mules escape their
vengeance. Both parties this morning
feel like a mule who has gone through a
beating operation.
Cor FooLED.-Yesterdsy the old fire
bell was placed on the top of Ones new
Engine House, in a very neat belfry
erected for that purpose. During the
afternoon the boys were trying it to see
how she sounded. We, like some 9TH
ers, made q hurried stampede for head
quarters, being sure there was q fire.
When the facts were ascertained n more
disappointed set never WAS seen, for the
''boys' are spelling for = chance to try
their machines. II has been so long
since there was q FIRE the boys have al
most forgotten how to work the breaks.
Now thYt there is plenty Of water and
the engines are all in good order, we
should like TO see the new Chief wet
down.
OLD Folks CONCERT. = Everybody,
with his wife, babies, and all their cous-
ms, are preparing to attend the Old
Folks Concert at the Gold Hill Thester
on next Monday aud Tuesday evenings.
Professor Dorr is training the old folks
some of them are eighty years old
in the best possible msnne to give sat-
isfaction; while young America" is
going through q course of sprouts for
the occasion which will be truly anus
ing and interesting to see when the cur
tain rises. Get your tickets in time, for
both evenings.
DRAWING 0rF.-This morning a num-
Der Of men were employed on South B
and c streets in drawing off the slum
from the streets. Although deep bitches
were cut to convey it under the side
walks and across the streets, yet the
rush of mud vas so great it o%verlowed
the sidewalk for several feet on both
sides of where it passed. Letting this
mud of is we'll calculated to have dry
streets soon, which would be highly
appreciated by our Virginia neighbors.
We Of Gold Hill are al right, for a
while at least.
MAcApANIzISG. - We are pleased to
see that the teamsters, citizens and we
presume the authorities have commenced
the work of building a road from the
junction of b and c streets, Virginia, to
the Gold Hill line. We will not make
any attempt to state how horrible the
road is, for the reason that, il we sue
ceeded in giving anything like a fair
description, the people would say it was
a H6sh story" From the specimen they
have now completed, we are satisfied a
few days will suffice to make an excel
lent road Of 1t.
OPERA HoUsE.-The performance at
the Opera House last evening was an
other success, and the house tolerably
well filled. The piece entitled Fanchon
was repeated and well received by the
audience. Tonight the splendid play
Of the Hidden Hand will be put before
those who may visit the Opera House.
Let those who have taste enough to ad-
mire a good performance, be on hand
tomorrow evening.
WHAT WAS Ir?-Last night we were
started out by a whistle blowing an
alarm of FIRE. It proved TO be in Six
Mile Canon, some place near the Gould
& Curry mill. We were unable to ascer-
tain anything about the cause this morn
ing when we LEFT Virginia. II may have
been that the valve of the whistle was
out of order and the continued blowing
WAS not intentional, as it occurred at
II o'clock.
Doy'r PAY.-The parties who had Of
fcers Gould and Higbee arrested for
breaking into a house, were yesterday,
in Justice Adkison's Court found, by
the proof in the case, to be guilty OF
prosecuting said officers without good
cause of action; therefore Mr.. Bishop,
the prosecuting attorney, asked the
Court to acquit the defendants, which
he did and assessed the costs OF the
trial to the prosecution.
THE REsuLr.-A great many persons
are now leaving Virginia for Silver
Bend and other points in the interior Of
the State. This is caused principally
by the knocking of Of the hands in the
Gould 4 Curry mine. Some'of the men
have found work in other mines, some
have gone to California and some are
going on a prospecting tour into new
districts.
GROCERY SroRE.-Messrs. Mercer &
Tucker have removed their family gro
cery and provision store to the store
room in Maynard's block which was
formerly occupied by Bitner L Co. They
have a large and splendid stock Of the
best kind of provisions and groceries,
which, they tell US, they will sell as
cheap as can be bought in the State.
EAvrs'.-Eaves' jewelry store, corner
of Union and c street. Virginia, is just
now a place of great resort for the peo-
pie who want to buy the best quality Of
jewelry, watches, silverware, etc, at
extraordinary low prices. Mr.. Eaves
means business when he says he sells
low for cash. See his new advertise
ment.
A HuNAS SxULL.-0n u vacant lot on
Sutton Avenue there is a human skull
living on top of the ground. No one
seems to know its origin or how it came
there. No other bones are to be seen
in the vicinity. If Bob Lowery was
hare he would corrall it sure, as Bob
had a weakness for "dead mems bones.
sr. Jous's CHuRcH.-Usual morning
