A SENSATION AT NJ. ST.. Louis BnEw.

Louis Brewery saloon gave way and tel
in with a terrible crash, to the great
CONSERVATION of everybody within,
smashing chairs, tables or anything else
which CHANGED to be in the way. Two
or three men happened to be leaning or
sitting against the wall at the time, and
feeling it giving way, they sprang for
ward Just in time to save themselves.
A section of the wall about twenty feel
in length, by twelve feet hign-irom
floor to ceiling-was what fell; ana
from personal inspection this morning
we should Judge that q considerable
norton more, which was hanging loose,
would also fall. The celebrated ira
matte reader and humorous d~elineator,
Yankee Plummer, happened to be pres
en-. shortly before the wall fell, plumoea
it, finding it considerably out OF plumb
and noticing other signs Of approaching
dissolution, p~rophesied that it would
fall in less than twenty minutes, which
4, accordingly did. Plummer describes
the rush and excitement as fearful and
ludicrous in the extreme, and the time
made by various parties for the doors
among the best on record. (he gives
readings this evening to an immense
audience at the District Court Room.)
No one. fortunately was hurt ; but the
aoor was so Uttered with the debris Of
the fallen wall, and everything else in
the saloon covered with dust, besides
there being danger of more wall falling,
that the place was closed until this
morning, when workmen were employed
in clearing away the wreck and repair
ing damages. The ST. Louis Brewery
is a two-story brick building, but being
like the other buildings in the vicinity,
situated directly over the most extern
worked portion of the Savage
mine, owing to great and long continued
settling of the earth beneath the walls,
have become considerably racked and
cracked. The building adjoining it on
the south, also u brick, is one story
high, and was erected before the brew
cry was. When the brewery was built,
the wall joining with that Of the other
building was made only eight inches
thick, but from the top Of this joint wall
the second story Of the brewery is of
the usual thickness, and remains unim-
and well supported. The thin
wall was showed in by the sinking
foundations causing the adjoining build
ing to very gradually but effectively
in against it. The portion Of this
partition wall, belonging to the other
building, is very badly bulged and looks
also as if it might fall soon.
SPIGIruAL MArrERs.-Ada Hoyt Foye,
the well known rappiug and writing
medium, held a seance at the District
Room, Virginia, last evening
was very fully attended, even all
the standing room being occupied. The
manifestations were very numerous, and
answers to questions correctly given.
Much interest was demonstrated on the
part of the audience. The seance was
naugurated by the recital by Lisle Les
.er of an excellent poem entitled "No
,ect in Heaven Mr.. and Mrs. Foye
eft on the Pioneer stage this afternoon
or Grass Valley, where a series of
will be given. Mrs. Laura De
force Gordon, said to be o highly gifted
nspirational trance medium, will arrive
It Virginia in three or four days, where
The will deliver course of lectures.
OPERA HOUSE MELopEoN. Amanda
lee, the we'll known and popular ac-
.ress, made her appearance at Piper's
attractive melodcon last evening, and
vas received with much applause. We
ire pleased to learn that she is perma-.
,ently engaged, for she is a very worthy
adv, as well as an accomplished n
deserving artistic. The house was well
illed in every part, and all passed oil
iuely and satisfactorily. The afterpiece
vas a local burletta entitled Day and
Night in Virginia CITY," The first part
If it vas rather too dry and prosy for a
audience, and could DO cut
to good advantage, but the con-
portion was whimsically ludi-
:rous in the extreme. 1t is well worth
PLuNxER To-NIaHT.-fankee Plum
ner, the we'll known aud highly popu-
lar dramatic and humorous reader, will
give a particularly interesting specimen
Of his great natural powers in that line
this evening, at the District Court room,
Virginia city. His readings will be
select pieces from the most popular
authors of the day, and will also include
many delineations in character Of the
most amusing and mirth-provoking de-
.scription. Go hear him, and die.
DANGEROUS SIDEWALK Some of the
in Gold Hill are bad enough
in all conscience, but we do manage to
keep them in some sort Of half way de-
cent state of repair. The sidewalk on
the west side Of North G street, Virginia,
however, between Mill and Carson
streets, is the worst in the deck. II is
full of oil sorts of bad places and leg
traps, and should be attended to forth
with, before somebody gets badly dam
aged by dropping through it.
BLACK CRooK.-Billy Carroll, a most
excellent vocalist and general delineator
appears nightly at the Crook, together
host of other well known talent,
to say nothing of Jimmy Murphy and
Miss Josephine, the two best clog and
liz dancers on the Pacific coast.
MArISnE.-The Matinee at the Opera
Melodeon, Saturday afternoon,
was well attended, the dress circle as.
well as most Of the boxes, being crowded
full of families, and children. The en-
tertainment appeared to give general
satisfaction.
REcovERrxe.-Ars, Sporting and Mrs.
who were injured by being
from a buggy on Thursday, near
the Imperial dump in this town, We are
pleased to learn are both recovering
rapidly.
AMY SroSE.-This pleasing and tai
cuted actress, who with her husband
have been playing ut Salt Lake, will re-
turn here about the 10th Of next month.
Isle LrsrER lef. for Sacramento this
