AFTER THEM At LAsT.-Last u"met
and fall we had occasion to make seye-
raj item. relative to the numerous low
cribs and houses Of prostitution on
South G street, Virginia. They were
and are the source of many a desperate
and scsndulous fight, and q fsul dis
grace upon any city government situa-
ted as they were on the most public
and ~populous street of the city. Aud
they were thus allowed to exist right
in the face of q city ordinance which
expressly forbade such institutions west
Of D street. For some unexplained
reason, however, although those in au-
thority threatened sometimes to do
their duty in the premises and abate
the nuisance, yet they totally failed to
come to time. 1t would appear, how
ever, that some of the new city officers
are bent on effectinga change Of affairs,
for yesterday a.Spanish woman owning
one Of the houses aforesaid was ar
rested for renting it as u house of pros
titutiou, she coming under the provis-
ions Of the city ordinance in that re-
spect. She was fined and paid $40
and nut under bonds Of $500 more. Thus
one Of these places WAS summarily
broken up, and officer Hughes, who ar
rested her, told US this morning that be
would 'sgo after" the balance OF the
deus thereabouts to-day. That's just
| what's wanted, but there must be no
| fayoritism shown. If one goes all must
20. The public want no nonsense IN
this matter. To single out this Spanish
woman from mere private or personal
motives would be indeed II fragrant in
Justice, and that will DO the aspect Of
the matter until the authorities follow
out their hand aud do the clean thing
now they have commenced it. Some Of
those cribs along there carry on the
prostitution game under p%resense OF
keeping a bar or something of the sort,
but that little dodge must not be al
lowed in any case. City Attorney Bar
bour holds that the only proof required
for conviction in the case is merely to
establish that prostitution is reputed or
believed TO be carried on in any such
place as we speak of; therefore this
construction Of the law applies to them
all, and certainly the most notorious
cannot escape. The public call for and
insist on q square deal. Clear them all
out.
OPERA House MELoDEoS.-Ouly four
nights more Of the melodoon. Let all
our melodeon-goers remember that and
GO while they have the opportunity, as
it closes finally on Sunday night, to
give place to the Legitimate drama
about next Wednesday. Last evening
being directly succeeding that Of No.
3's benefit, the attendance was not
quite so good as we have seen, yet just
exactly as good a performance was
given as though th6 house had been
crowded from spit to dome" Manager
Rhoades never allows any 'throwing
off" on an audience just because it
happens to be a small one. The con-
Guiding piece was the time-honored
Ethiopian o~peratic comedietta known rs
the "virgiuny Cupids." We never SAW
or heard it better rendered than last
evening. The music Of the piece is
very good indeed, and the ohoruses
were all given in extra good style. iii
Il piece which wears we'll and always
will be a farorito, especially where Bur-
bank, Rhoades and Tuers assume the
leading characters. Miss Josephine
makes a very good Rosa in this piece.
Excellent bill tonight, with 'Coming
it over his Uncle for the afterPiece.
Fresh CAsE.-Mr. Hodges, the nurse
of Mr.. Simons, who died in this town OF
the malignant continent smallpox, is
now sick with the varioloid. He had
been vaccinated two or three times, but
il did not "take." This is the only
fresh case we have to report. The other
two cases of varioloid in town are near
" recovered. These three cases are
absolutely all the smallpox existing in
Gold Hill.
