O'Day Boys" q queer sort Of a sensa-
tioual Irish drama, was the attraction
at the Opera House on Saturday even
ing, and will be repeated tonight. AS
a dramatic production it is not very
deep, but is possessed Of considerable
artistic merit 10 the sensational aud
amusing line, being replete with music
songs, witty points, and more or less
rollicking Irish deviltry, as we'll as
scenes of interest, both y~illninous aud
jolly. The greatest fault we had to hnd
with it was that it was allowed to drag
badly. Manager Beatty must look out
for that. Dragging is not allowable
under any circumstances. IL IS tue
worst failure be could possibly make.
Some of the actors must also try and
have their parts learned a little more
perfectly. The audience never comes
for the purpose of hearing the prompter.
Otto Burbank, the popular fnvorite,
made his first appearance of the season
in the second net, and met with u o
hatteriug reception, the immense audi.
euce joining in II universal Shout OF
welcome, such us is not often heard
within those walls. Mrs. Bowers, rs
Kathleen Kavanaugh, did very fairly,
but added no new laurels to herdramatic
brow. Howson as Barney O'Toole,
showed u goodly degree Of real talent
in the delineation OF Irish characters,
and Beatty naturally made a most vii
famous looking and acting villain. The
songs aud dances Of Olivia Rand and
Lizzie Harmon were given with refresh
ing vim and lively chorus. Buckley's
Stephen Purcell was very good, anu
McCullom succeeded we'll us Harry
Kavanaugh, especially in the third act,
where he drops out of the top OF the
tall sycamore and alights gracefully on
the fat Of his back. This isan arduous
feat and will be repeated each evening
from m increased hight each time. He
must not leave this out, either, other
wise the peanut cannibals in the par
quette will swear they are swlndled.
Peep O'Day Boys tonight again.
Go and see il by oil means.
An AWFUL SUSPENSE I'VE were in
the Yellow jacket hosting works this
morning, shortly after the dreadful ac-
cident occurred, which sent three men
into eternity almost in n moment. Per-
haps II hundred aud fifty people had
gathered into the building, many Of
them pale as death, aud eager to see
and hear the realization of the awful
report. The friends and relatives of the
supposed dead were there, and with
moist eyes and heaving breasts were
awaiting the result Of the search below
for the mangled bodies, and their APP
pearauce in the light of day, before they
could be convinced of its rnflity. james
Donuelly, Foreman Of the Yellow Jack
ct, Hank Smith, Foreman of the Grown
Point, and another miner, went down
to make the first search for the bodies,
and to ascertain the cause OF the acci-
dent. After their arrival ut the bottom
of the shaft, hardly q word was spoken
by the large number Of anxious people
Mt the top but every one seemed anx-
iously waiting to hear the tapping of
the bell, as a signal to the engineer to
hoist up the cage with its dead and
mangled freight. Alas, what a sus-
pensc, what deep anguish and anxiety
showed itself on the countenances OF
that large crowd Of dear friends and
relatives Of the supposed dead AT
last the bell tapped, and its dreadful
sound fell deep and thrilling into the
hearts Of the silent watchers gathered
around the deep and dark shafts which
led to the scene of death below. h
sound of the tap Of that bell sent u thrill
of horror among those who heard lit
was so awful-that many left the build
ing. 1t was as like the sound Of Death
itself speaking from the depths OF tue
earth.
