RAILROAD MArriRs.-Ths new pas
seuc.r car was run to Carson from Vir-
giuia aad back yesterday, taking sew
sr.l Of the officers and friends Of the
road. 1t runs fully rs we'll as was an
ticipated, and 10 q very excellent piece
of work. Due announcement will DO
made when the company will DO pre-
pared to carry passengers regularly.
Quite a large space 10 graded III near
the workshop Of the company at Vir-
giuia, for q turn table, engine house,
new workshop, foundry, etc. The grad
ing OF the road and laying Of the track
will be carried through, within few
days, to where the regular passenger
and freight depot is to DO erected, near
the Gould b Curry works, when tho
'slast spike " Of the work from Carson
to Virginia will DO driven, with appro-
pirate o~bservances.
PlPsR's OPsRA Houss.-This famous
temple Of the drama is being very
neatly renovated and reitted for the
grand dramatic season to be iuauguratsd
next Friday evening with the u~nequaled
company from the California Theatre.
All the parquette boxes are torn out,
tho plastering repaired aud a neat
wainscoting extended down each side
of the dress circle to the private boxes.
Rogers, the famous scenic artist from
San Francisco, is also busy painting
new scenery and %retouching the cid.
When the new dramatic season opens
the Opera House will be in better trim
than ever before. IT'S we'll, and we
doubt not that liberal public patronage
will beautifully compensate Piper for
the enormous expense he incurs.
SHAFT TWISTED 0FF.-About FIVE
o'clock yesterday morning, the main
shaft OF the pump engine, about nine
inches in diameter, twisted of close to
the crank, at the Gould & Curry hoist
ing works, consequently the pump
stopped. This accident was caused by
the brick foundation, OF the machinery
getting worked loose. They are now at
work tearing it all out for the purpose
Of replacing it with solid cut stone.
This will be completed in about fifteen
days. Meanwhile a battling tank keeps
the water reduced, and drifting at the
lowest level goes on rs usual. By shift
ing the broken shat. end for end it is
still long enough for use.
THAr's WARS H MATTER.-An e1-
change thus touches up the gentle
Anna, who tried so hard to prove in her
lecture at Virginia, that woman's worst
enemy was man, and when she got down
to San Francisco pitched in and detained
her own sex Of that city worse thar ever
the men did
"of girls on this coast, from Miss Dickinson's
tone,
4 stranger might judge in harsh manner,
But we know the poor things no girls OF her
And that's what's the matter with Anna"
THAT "Llsr SrlKs."-We are in
formed that the last spika Of the nearly
completed railroad, from Carson to Vir-
giuia, will be driven 10 about ten days
from now, when the road will be graded
and finished through to where the reg.
u'ar passenger and freight depot is to
be, near the Gould & Curry mine. A
friend asks whether this is to be the
last or the frs! spike Of the Virginia i
T~ruclee" Railroad?
FUEL TGERxoMgrxR.-At the time oil
the recen, two or three days stormy
weather, the Chinese wood psddssrs
raised the price of wood two bits per
donkey load, but subsequent fair
weather induced a decline 10 the old
standard. The price of Celestial donkey
wood is q perfect indication Of both
present weather and what is is immedi.
ateiy likely to be.
BSyErIr.-The benefit to the PiIlcy
Sisters last Saturday evening, at Piper'i
Opera House, wns tolsrably we'll at
tended. Had it been properly adver.
tised, there would have been a $500 OIL
5000 house, instead Of half that amount
|, pays well to advertise, especially il
tho theatrical business. That bensh'
was poorly worked up.
Orr THE TRAcE--The locomotive
Lyon, on her down trip to Carson las
Saturday afternoon, with = train loaded
with ore, eontrivod to get of tho track
Just below tho big tunnel Of American
Flat. No serious damage done, but il
was quite a job to get her on the track
again.
