THE EVENING NEWS.

lI6h OEhhN AOSSs
the Opera House was crowded last even
ing, would give bu, a faint idea of the
immense audience present at Sue Rob-
~insou's benefit. The dress circle was
onv with ladies, and had it not been for
The storm, there would have been very
many more present, to the exclusion OF
gentlemen, however, for rs it was,
every inch Of standing oom was occu-
pied, even the stairway leading down
into the parquette, and the main entry
being filed. The main play Of the
evening was the thrillingly sensational
romantic drama entitled the "Corsican
Brothers" Sue Robinson's rendition
Of the twin brothers, Pabien and LOUIS
del Franchi, was most excellent ana
effective throughout. Nothing less was
expected Of her, and the audience WAS
not disappointed. Billy Robinson per-
souated " Meynard, and MaFteIn, L.
two leading characteristic a 'eF! "o's
and satisfactory manner. He never ala
h.,,ar in his life. The " Montgiton, OF
ono Burbank. and the Chateau Ken
aud of Woodland, were very well and
correctly rendered, as was also the
:. Emile de Lesparre," Of Fanny Hanks.
The other characters were generally
we'll represented. The ghost scene,
where the blood-stained apparitlon OF
Louis del Frauchi appears to his brother,
gliding dreamily upward through the
stage, and passing away to the right,
finally disappearing through Il wall,
was a triumph Of mechanical ingenuity,
very creditable to those who arranged
and worked the machinery. The tab
leaux were well given, and the sword
combat between Miss Robinson anu 1onn
Woodland, alone was worth double the
price of admission. This fine piece will
be repeated this evening, and 1t Will DC
ladies night again.
George SMITH REPUDIArEs.-George
Smith, Of Red Mountain, called on US
this morning, relative to an item we had
in Yesterdays News charging him with
having sold his vote for the sum OF $50
in "shysters," At the fremeu's election
in Virginia, day before yesterday lie
says we were wrong that he was not
the man, at all, whom so
neatly PLAYED and handsomely euchred'
George was highly indignant ut the very
idea of his vote being purchased by
filthy money consideration. lie was a
Kerrin man, and could not have beer
bought on any terms whatever. lie has
been 10 solo" plenty OF times, but never
bought. He scorns this foul asperston.
George is the only Kerrin man We have
been able TO discover since the election.
He belongs to No. ., and swears that II
he was one Of Four's boys he'd leave
sooner than be in the same Company
with a man whose vote could be cap
tured by the enemy, especially by means
of such weak devices as common brass
shysters. We take il all back, George,
and apologize so far as you are con-
cerned, Our iuformants have ~slandered
a man as free from guile, and rs art
lessly innocent as y sucking pig.
SHOOTING ScRArE on II DIviDE.-
About . o'clock this morning, quite an
exciting, bu, not fatal shooting ARRAY
took place At the Fashion saloon, on the
Divide, between Gold Hill and Virginia.
The parties concerned were Charles
Warner and James Scanlon, two black
smiths or horse-shoers employed in that
locality. They had too much whisky
on board, aud got to quarreling in front
of the bar, which eliminated in Warner
drawing n derriuger pistol and blazing
away The ball took of q small piece
OF Scaulon's right ear, passed through
the coat sleeve Of another man, slightly
grazing his arm, wounded the bar-keeper
slightly in the right side, and hnally
lodged in the wall. 1t is very seldom
that n dcrringer ball hits three men,
with so little damage resulting. Further
hostilities were prevented, and Warner
came down to Gold Hill, where officer
Lackey, of Virginia, found him a couple
of hours afterwards, arrested him on q
warrant, and took him to Virginia.
WAsHor EXCHANGE BILLIARD SALOON.
This popular institution is located on
C street, Virginia, and if there is any
body that is so unmitigatedly ignorant
"a NOT to know exactly where it is, he is
hopelessly stupid. Even the Piutes
know Evans emaciated form, n Jim
Orudora-s disagreeable countenance.
Jim is not responsible for that, how
ever. He is an orphan, n his temper
was permanently soured in his youth
The Washoe Exchange is where lovers
of a good game Of billiards a 80 and
enioy il to his hearts content, and in
all its original purity, on some one OF
the numerous frst-class tables. There,
too, is where genial spirits assemble to
commune with other spirits OF a similar
nature who are kept there in bottles for
that purpose, and as for cigars-just call
at the Exchange.
Fog STEALING THOSE HoRsEs.-W. ID.
Anderson and Vim. Wilson, who stole
two government horses from the corral
at Virginia the other night, being
brought before Recorder Atkinson yes
terday, waived an examination, and were
held TO bail in the sum Of 81 200 each,
to appear and answer before the Grand
jury. In default Of the requisite bail,
they were sent to the County Jail for
safe keeping, until they a be tried for
their offence. The chances are that
they will become acquainted with the
interior of our State Prison at Carson.
By the way, speaking Of Government
horses. they are all branded U. s., until
thew are sold to other parties, when the
brand /. s., is placed upon them, signi-
