ZINNER VISDIcATED.-Ifthe Enterprise
or ''auy other man" has ever been so
presumptuous AS to say that thinner
could not play, or recklessly iusinuated
that he was not the only thorough and
natural musician in the State, we de-
mand that an immediate retraction and
apology be made. During the last three
or four years that we have critically
listened to thinner as leader Of the
orchestra both at Music Hall q more
recently at Piper's Opera House, we
have heard him play very many OF the
finest pieces in the catalogue of musical
composition. As a violinist and natural
musician he has no equal for his age
on this coast, and we had rather listen
to one Of his violin solos than any of
the most pretentious performers. Zim-
mer is chief Of them all. His heart
strings and his fiddle strings are each
attuued TO the same sweet ~concordaut
key Of harmony, and the charmed mel
ody gushing forth from his magic vio-
lin is simply the ou,pourings Of the
musical soul Of thinner. We felt nat
uarally aggravated when VIC heard
others find fault with the character OF
the music played by Zimmer and his
orchestra at the theater, and there
is no doubt that q good portion
Of the audience of last evening
came purposly to hear and see
what thinner could and would do in the
matter. We were there with pencil and
paper, intending to write Zimmer out OF
existence in case he threw oil" on
his friends any more, but Ut the very
first sound OF that immortal violin we
nut ND our pencil. thinner was nayi-
eating that bow himself, and sweeter
notes never issued from any violin. The
balance of the orchestra also evidently
meant business, and concentrated their
potent musical energies into a fine open
ing overture introducing the popular
and beautiful ballads Of "Don't be
Angry, Mother" and Home Again."
ending with Wait for the Wagon"
The overture at the end Of the first act
was q splendid one, most brilliantly ex-
ecuted, and was deservedly applauded
by the understanding rather I'M
usual. The fine and popular overture
Of the "Caliph Of Bagdad" was also
played as well as anybody ever heard it,
and all the o.her music was executed
with the high musical taste and skill
that we have always known existed in
that orchestra. thinner and his violin
are now fully yindieated, and shine
forth in all their original purity AS one
Of the most brilliant consultations in
our musical world.
F. W. ScuULrzE DROWNED. - Mr..
Schultze, the well known engraver, for
merly located on South c street, Vir-
giuia, but who recently quit business
and started for the Cerro Gordo mines,
Lone Pine District, where he had mining
interests. was drowned yesterday morn
ing in East Walker river. He was a
man much esteemed by u large circle Of
friends for his many good qualities, and
at the time of his death he was m active
member Of the Order of Masous, and
Secretary Of Virginia Chapter Of R. A.
NJ. U. d. He was n native Of Germany,
aud had no relatives in this country-in
Germany his father was living at last
accounts. In case his body should be
recovered il will probably be brought
to Virginia for interment by his brother
Masons. The following telegram to the
Enterprise, dated Aurora, July 22d, !
gives all the circumstances which are
known Of this sad affair: "F. W.
Schultze, Of Virginia, was drowned be-
tween 1 and 5 o'clock this morning, in
East Walker river, At Elbow Ranch, l6
miles from this place, while attempting
to cross the river Mt that point, under
the following circumstances One Of
Elbow Joe's cows got mired in the
quicksand, and Schultze and Joe started
to heA relief. In crossing, their horses
also go, stuck 10 the q%uicksand, and it
is supposed Schultze got of to extricate
his horse, but in the attempt let his
horse go, and the swift current carried
him under and down stream. g. E.
Schmidt, one Of his partners, was on
the bank aud only saw him once after
wards. Up to the present time the
body has not been recovered. Schultze,
Smith and Thompson were on their way
to the Cerro Gordo mines, in Inyo coun.
ty, California, to erect furnaces aud
work mines for a Virginia company"
PIpEa's OPERA HoUsE-This famous
theatrical institution was we'll crowded
With a gay and merry company last
evening, the occasion being the last APP
pearance of Mrs. Bowers and the closing
Of the thester for about a week, or until
the ALEXANDRA Minstrel Company arrive
from San Francisco. The play given
was cloves Masquerade" q perfect
gem of piece, and which evidently de-
lighted every person in the audience,
judging from the frequent and discrimi-
native applause bestowed throughout.
Mrs. Bowers never exhibited her great
artistic powers in the delineation of the
passions which sway the human heart,
to better or more agreeable advantage
than on this occasion. Mr.. Medallion,
and Mr.. Howson also, were entitled to
their full need Of applause, and the
piece passed off very smoothly and
agreeably, aided as it was by the very
excellent music Of the orchestra. The
singing by the Rand sisters, ut various
periods of the piece, especially the duet
IN tue NEUOE, anu the SeTeuhue, WIN us
fine accompanying music, was received
with much applause. At the close Of
the play, in response to the unanimous
call Of the audience, Mrs. Bowers and
Mr.. McCullom appeared before the cur
tain. We have seldom seen q better
pleased audience come out Of q theater,
and certain it is, that it will be n long
time before the equal Of Mrs. Boxers
will appear upon the stage at the Opera
House.
ANOTHER MINER GoSE.-Mr. Daniel
Donuelly, the miner whose skull was
broken on the 18th inst, while on a
cage descending the Chollar-Potos
shaft, by the falling Of a small piece OF
rock upon it from a distance Of 800 feet
above him, died from the effects OF the
injury at 4 o'clock this morning. DR..
Cieburne, who WAS called to attend upon
him, extracted some Of the shattered
bone Of the skull at the time, since
which he has removed more splinters OF
bone and a portion Of his hat, which
were driven in upon the brain. Mr..
