Gold Hill daily news. [volume] (Gold Hill, N.T. [Nev.]) 1863-1882, 1867-04-01
THE EVENING NEWS.

it's office, Virginia, to hear the report
Of Messrs. Edwards and Fish in regard
to their operations and the disposition
made of the money intrusted to them
for the relief Of the poor of the city.
The report as published was received,
and Messrs. Edwards and Fish were au-
thorized to circulate a petition for more
money, as they reported that there were
some debts unpaid standing against the
committee, and also hat there were
several families now suffering from sick
ness and want Of food and wood. The
committee were empowered to take any
steps they might deem proper to raise
money in case a sufficient amount could
not be raised by subscription. A man
by the name of Thomas, a C~ornishman,
was reported as lying sick at a house
near the Summit mill. He has no money,
and but a few acquaintance in the
State, and hone Of them able TO help
aim No medical assistance has been
called in, for the reason that there i.
no money to pay for such assistance.
This unfortunate man has not been in
the State long enough to be admitted
into the Hospital. Now what we wish
TO say is, let the Cornishmen, of whom
there are hundreds working in our
mines at good wages, show that they
will not be behind any other portion of
our foreign population in helping a fell
low c~ountryman in distress. Here is a
case which demands your assistance,
Cornishmen, and by u small donation
from each one Of you, his sufferings can
be alleviated. Give US q chance to say
that the Cornish boys have hearts that
respond to the call Of charity. Let some
n take hold Of it. Who will be the
Chief among you.
TERRIBLE Casa most shocking
case of accouchment happened at the
Morgan Mill, Empire City, on Saturday
last-the poor victim being a Mrs. Bett.
The details are positively too shocking
to be published in any but n medical
book. Two scrubs of "doctors," named
Seary and Edgington, undertook to per-
form a CeSarian operation, and COM
pletely failed. \ n~eighbor of the vic
tim has written US a description Of the
affair, but we positively cannot publish
it. If there is a law in the land, we
hope those two medical quacks will be
arrested, and imprisoned, to await the
action of the Grand Jury of 0rmsby
county. Fortunately for the life Of the
victim, some Of the neighbors sent for
Drs. Pennyroyal and Hose, of Carson,
who arrived just in time. The people Of
Empire have been terribly excited, and
this morning rumors were rife of a
banging scraPe.
MAX WALrrR.-After waiting long
and patiently for Max Walter to get
along with his show, we are pleased TO
say to the public that on Thursday
evening of the present week the Opera
House will be opened with 4 tirst-clsss
theatrical troupe, consisting of the fol-
lowing persons, II part of whom are
here now, and the remainder Will be
here tomorrow: Miss Annie Stone,
II. F. Stone, L. F. Beatty, Mrs. Beatty,
Mrs. Wood, Miss Josephine, Miss Fam
ME Hanks, II. Sinclare Melville, E. J.
Buckley, Mr.. Caldwell, j. H. Finn, and
Ernest thinner as leader of the orches-
ira. This array Of talent has been Sc
lected with great care in order to give
the people Of Virginia and Gold Hill an
opportunity of havinga pleasant place
to spend an evening. Miss Stone is the
star of the company and is spoken of as
being a fine actress. Some of the 9TH
ers have attained considerable reputa-
ton as actors. Of course everybody
and his wife will be there. This troupe
are exclusively theatrical, and ladies
night will be every night. The whole
concern will be, we understand, under
the direct management of Capt. Clark
son, and to recommend him to the pub
lie would be a waste of ink, as all know
that the Captain knows how to keep ho-
tel.
A New BusISrss.-Gold Hill has long
needed the business of bricklayers and
plasterers, as also a stock Of lime, plas-
ter, and other building material. 1t
will be seen by an advertisement under
New To-Day, hat Messrs. Stevens L
Croghan have established themselves in
this Town to carry on that business,
and ask the people to give them a hbe-
raj support. They recently constructed
a large and serviceable cooking range
at the Yellow Jacket Hotel, which is
pronounced superior to anything Of the
kind in the State.
REMOVE THEM.-A few days since a
long petition, signed by nearly all the
business men on south c street, was
sent in before the Board of Aldermen of
Virginia, asking that body to pass an
ordinance removing all houses Of i'll
fame from c street, it being the princi-
pal street Of the city, and a street where
the ladies Of the city are compelled to
pass along daily. Some Of the members
of the Board seem to think it u good
subject to have sport over. Now that
they have gratifed themselves in that
respect, it is desired by the respectable
citizens Of Virginia, that the necessary
stems will be taken TO remove them to
some more remote portion Of the city.
As it now is, it is a disgrace to the
town, and has been for the past year.
Those who sent in the petition are de-
sirous that some action be taken as soon
as practicable.
WISpY.-For several weeks past the
weather seems to have been holding its
breath, but last night it gave vent to
its extended lungs, and from 7 o'clock
last evening until the present, has
blown with tremendous violence. In
coming over the Divide this morning,
we were brought to n stand-stil on
several occasions by the force Of the
wind. There is one good result arising
from the zephyers, the mud disappears
very rapidly since they commenced.
We are willing to put up with even
Washoe zephyrs, if it will dry up the
roads.

popular dry goods merchant in GOLD
g;il. has lust opened a splendid stock OF
ladies' dry goods, for spring and sum
