THAT HOSE CARRIAGE ARRIVED
No little stir wa created in the fire
jakey circles at Virginia this morning
by the arrival of the long expected and
muchly miscarried hose carriage Of
Good Will Hose Company. This car
riage Is not q ncw one by any means,
being no less distinguished an insti-
tuition than the famous Good viii hose
cart of Philadelphia. A dozen years
ago she was famed in the annals Of the
Fire Department Of that city, and was
ierked about remarkably lively ut. both
fires and fights. Indeed, OH at least
one occasion her company got roughly
handled by belligerent rivals, and this
machine was thrown bodily into the
Schuylkill river. She looks, however,
not 4 bit the worse for wear, and Is
Just rs good rs ever she was, not hav-
ing been In use much during the last
few years. since the organization of the
paid Fire Department and Introduction
Of steam fire engines In Philadelphia.
This noted carriage Is Il tour-wheeler,
capable Of carrying 500 feet Of hose.
IL Is very handsomely painted blue
with gold stripes, has two bells and
two lamps, the side badges bear the
name Of GOOD WILL" and upon the
front locker Is the very neatly painted
picture of q dog. The cost in Phila-
delphia was $3.50, and through the in
fluence Of Hon. +. A. Tritle the car
riage was forwarded over the big
railroad from Philadelphia to Reno
free Of cost. Altogether, Good Will
hose cart Is a peculiarly wide awake
looking institution, and In the hands
Of the excellent company Of young
men organized to run with it, we look
to see good service done with it ut
future fires. The machine Is housed
with Young America Engine, No.
THE NKw CHURcH.-The Catholic
congregation at Virginia now meet
regularly In their handsome new brick
church, recently completed. Their
old wooden church building was get
ting in rather too dilapidated a condi-
ton for further use, so they fastened
the occupation Of the new edifice be-
fore it could be formally dedicated.
The interior finish is not by any means
gorgeous, yet very neat, tasteful and
elegant. The walls are pure white,
with finely executed plaster, cornicc
and frieze work; and the arched cell
ing overhead Is painted Of a brownisli
color. A commodious, handsomely
designed gallery for the choir, etc., is
built above the main entrance, II at
the opposite end Of the church Is theil
beautiful altar. imported from France,
and the elegance and style OF which
we cannot do ample justice to in a
short description; it needs to be seen
In order to fully appreciate its archi-
tectural beauties. This fine church
comfortably seats GOO persons. IL will
be duly dedicated about Christmas, so
we are informed.
PIrER' OpERA HoUsE-rHE HIBEIs-
NIcoN.-MacEvoy's famous New Hi
bernicon still continues to be a great
attraction, drawing most excellent
houses every evening. 1t is a really
fine painting, and by far the best In
the panoramic line v seen In this
section. Many Of the pictures look
like actual photographs, on a large
scalc-no e~xtravagant daubS, but nat
ural pictures, painted by the hand ola
r artist. The coloring aud perspec-
tive of the majority of the pictures
shows this. They will bear criticism.
Lovers of beautiful scenery, as dcvel-
oped In these select pictures OF a tour
In Ireland cannot fail to admire ana
enjoy this fine panorama. Then, TOO
there Is nothing monotonouS about II,
but, "Barney and his two lady nc
complies are a perfect little dramatic
side show of general fun, song, and
dances BY themselves. The chance Tor
seeing this attractive entertainment
will be for only two evenings more.
In Lucx.-According to the Ely
Democrat, Mike McCluskey and J. j.
Monahan, both former Gold Killers,
hold the ticket drawing the $4,000
prize In the Mercantile Library lot
terry. We congratulate these babes
In the wood OH their good fortune.
IL Is understood that McClusIey will
give his portion to the American Tract
Society, and Monahan proposes max
ING A liberal donation to the widows
anil orphsns Of tho Feeiee Islands.
Mike win doubtless commence reduc-
inc to a good fighting weight and run
next thing for High Chsrlu ,
Utah. Yes, and John Monahap VIII
be sure to reduce to his best nghting
weight and come out In opposition to
Brigham Young.
Improved STEAM VALvE.-William
Gambler, formerly engineer OF the
Opbir mine, but now Of the Atlantic
mill. has invented a balance slide valve
for steam engines which Is said to DO
a oreat Improvement on the common
st1le Of valve now In general use.
rhe steam enters the central part OF
the valve and escapes Mt the sides, thus
doing away with a vast amount OF
friction, so that In engines OF the
largest size this valve cln be movcd
with the thumb and finger; whereas,
10 move the ordinary valve, great
leverage power has to be brought to
bear. Mr.. Gambler has applied for a
patent.
ONE MoRE NIanr.-We are informed
that the Ladies' Fair at Armory Hall,
Virginia, will close tonight. They
have done so well that they were una
HE to close last Saturday evening:
therefore another good social time will
be enjoyed tonight. Plenty Of socia-
bility, agreeable company, dancing
and general fun.
