PIPER's OPERA HousE.-There was
a fuller audience present last evening
than might have been expected. for the
repetition Of Sin6od the Sailor; indeed,
although not densely crowded, yet 1t
was a good, full house. We have no
particularly new points to make men-
ton of in the rendition of the piece,
other than it was perhaps better given
than on the evening previous, and the
scenery, ETC., operated smoothly and
we'll. Is not the nameless IL who
personated Wavelet" In Luriiae
going to appear again? Many besides
ourself would like very much to hear
her sweet voice again. This evening
Miss Lydia Thompson takes a
grand complimentary benefit. The
principal play Of the occasion will
be the celebrated ~burlesque, Somndn-
5ula, or the Taper Maiden and the Vi
layers Scandal. As a commencement,
the popular petite comedy of Nan Me
Good.for-N Nothing will be given. Miss

INDICATIONS IMPRovING.-The En-
terprise learns that the indications are
now very promising for the striking Of
a large body or vein Of water in the
hill west of American Flat, into which
the Virginia and Gold Hill Water
Company are now tunncling. The
tunnel is now about 800 feet in length,
and after passing through a belt OF
hard rock, is againin 4 formation COM
posed of clay and boulders, or rather
broken fragments of rock. Out OF this
formation the water Is beginning I"
trickle OIL all sides, and it Is thought
that a large and %permsnent vein will
shortly be tapped. 1t Is to be hoped
that such a vein may be found, rs the
supply in this city Is running low,
with every indication Of its being still
lower before the summer Is over. Even
though no such vein rs Is looked for
should be found, the money expended
upon the tunnel will not be lost, as 1t
will serve to collect the water pereo-
lating the rock strata from the melting
of the great banks Of snow which, In
ordinary winters, form in the deep
hollows on the north side Of the noun
tain.
ANOTHER CONFEDERATION At FIR-

TEMpr.-About 5 o'clock this morning
a building OH South B street, Virginia,
lust in the rear of and belonging to the
house of Young America Engine Co.
No. 2, was discovered TO be In flames,
creating n bright lurid glare Of light.
The alarm bells being quickly sounded
the entire Fire Department with their
effective machines were promptly on
hand, consequently the fire did not last
long. The building was q privy. Some
villain had deliberately anOinted II
with coal oil or something Of the sort
and touched it oil. There was Il wood
pile near it, n high board fence, and
other buildings We're near enough to
have taken fire and created an extern
sive conflagration had it not been so
promptly squelched. We did not as

ANOTHER FIRE Observation-Disclosures
booker Engine Company, No. ., Nir-
ginia, have entered into negotiations
to purchase Eureka Engine, No. l, OF
M%arysville. and have sent their Secre-
tary, Mr.. Jocelyu. over there for that
purpose. In case n bargain is con-
cluded. the machine will arrive about
Tuesday morning next. Eureka Is a
very excellent machine, Of the Button
4 Blake pattern, and being of the
same size and capacity as WashOe,
No. /. Virginia. will doubtless prove
fully rs effective ut fires. The reason
who Eureka Company wish to dispose
of their machine Is because they have
purchased Il steam fire engine.
CONVENIENT WATER..-ln view OF
the little fire of this morning OH B
street, we would respectfully remind
the engineers and foremen of the Vir-
ginia Fire Department that the large
Gould Il Curry tank, just above b
street In that vicinity, is the most
available In case of q fire In that I'M
mediate locality. 1t is fitted with 4
convenient well-gate for attaching
hose, and Three's, Four's or any other
hose cart IL up there could always get
first water" and have the best and
most effective stream Of any. This is
q good idea to bear In mind, especially
during this dry weather.
FAILS TO CoSSECr.-The Carson -lp-
pe0i failed to reach us again this morn
ing. We begin to think the fault lies
with our neighbor Harry, in not get
ting his spicy little paper ready In
