EVENING NEWS.
Tuesday Evenlns,-.----..Juiy II, 1865.
oxlssroS.-By mistake, in publishing

hhiuiuS oCSiueuI III yesterday ) News,
we omitted to publish the testimony Of
Mr.. G. A. Brier. The reason Of this
omission was that Mr.. Brier wrote out
his W testimony, and after reading II
to the jury gave it to the Coroner, and
we did not get it at all. All the other
testimony we wrote out ourself, direct
ly from the lips of the witnesses. Mr..
Brier's testimony vas to the effect that
by the direction of the Superintendent,
Mr.. Winters, he made a critical exami-
nation of the shaft from top to bottom,
Immediately after the accident, in his
professional capacity as carpenter, and
found nothing out Of the way in the
least. The shaft was in perfect order
throughout. The terrible accident re-
ferred to seems TO have been the result
of the displacement or displacement Of
the ends of the timbers on the platform
Of the cage. The upper ends were
properly secured, but the lower ends
apparently were not. A small iron bar
or railing about the lower portion Of
the cago might have prevented the &C.
cident ; at any rate similar nes "a be
thus prevented in the future.
HOMETOWN SuRGERy.-The Tfe,pass
Of yesterday, and the Enterprise of this
morning, both contain IN item to the
effect that a few days ago, at Virginia,
a boy about ten years of age, son of a
washerwoman in that city, stumbled
and fell while carrying in his arms a
little brother some FIVE months old,
breaking the child's leg in two places
above aud below the knee. The first
physician sent for pronounced the inju-
~ nothing more serious than q bruise,
and it was not until the mother, alarmed
by the inflammation Of the limb, sent
for another physician that the true state
of the case was discovered. Anxious
lest the public should suppose for an
instant that he is unable to tell whether
a leg is broken or out of joint, or only
bruised, DR.. Hop Lock, the we'll known
Chinese ~allopathic physician on South
C street, Virginia, sends US an urgent
request to publish the aforesaid item,
with the statement that he was not the
"6rst physician" referred to. This we
do cheerfully, rs n matter Of justice to
DR.. Hop Lock.
PIpER's OPERA HousE.-A very fair
but not over-crowded house greeted the
repetition of the jolly Irish drama Of
the "Peep 0'Day Boys" at the Opera
House last evening. The piece passed
of far more smoothly than at its first
representation on Saturday evening.
The prompter was not heard as much,
the scenic machinery worked better,
aud there was little or no drag. This
evening will be presented the romantic
thrilling play OF "Adrienne, the Ac-
tress, or the Poisoned Bouquet" with
Mrs. Bowers as Adrlenne ~Lecouvreur,
and Mr.. McCollum as Count Maurice de
SAKE. An afterpiece will also be given,
entitled The Belle Of the Kitchen" a
very laughable farce, and in the inter-
lude between the pieces Otto Burbank
will give one Of his iuimitable song and
dance arrangements. Secure your seats
in season to avoid the rush. Due atten-
ton paid to ventilation, and the comfort
Of the audience.

success. 1t is now constantly engaged

of 'teaming in transporting fuel to this
