beautiful but very costly. General
| Munckton received this manifestation
Of respect on the part of his friends
with a great deal Of warmth of feel
ing, after a very handsome presenta-
ton speech by Major Dobey. One pre-
sentation. however, was not enough
for the Silverites; so the friends Of
Captain Riley Armstrong, who has
been appointed Assistant Conductor on
the V. L. Il. r., from the Santiago
mine down to the big dump and back,
presented him with a most beautiful
and costly badge, upon which Is sinh
ply inscribed "Coaductor," obtained
at fuckers jewelry store, In San Fran
cisco. regardless Of expense, and pro-
nomced far superior to any ever
before manufactured in that celebrated
establishment. On the reverse of the

graved character, representing q
"Demijohn," and March 18th, 1870,

affair is SD to have been most .mag-
nif"-such as might be expected only

PIrER's OPERA HousE.-A densely
crowded and intensely interested audi
ence attended the second seance of the
famous Davenport Brothers last even
ing. This evening, Joe Murphy and
wife, Sue Robinson and the entire
Opera House troupe reappear on the
stage. fresh from their very successful
visit to Carson. The plays will be the
beautiful comedy Of the Little Trea-
sure" and the fire drama Of the
"irish Exile" with Il fancy dance by
La Petite Wilson, in the iuterlude.
Miss Katy Wilson. the very pleasing
young actress, takes her benefit to-
night. The pieces are well cast, and
We doubt not will be we'll performed.
No extra charge for reserved seats.
We append the following correct re-
marks from the Carson Appeal Of this
morning: "Joe Murphy is certainly a
perfect artesian we'll OF fun. There
was not one sober face in all the the
alter during the two or three hours that
lie stood OH the stage last night. lie
is ridiculously and superlatively funny.
Active, possessed of an m~exception-
able brogue, with 4 good voice for bal
lads and a mighty ~springing foot for
dancing, Irish to perfection as 4 bog
~trotter, and Dutch to kill as a Dutch
man, brim full Of the spirit Of what he
attempts, he would be 4 success In any
theater and before any audience. He
was great in "That Rascal Pat" and
excruciating as the "Gushing Girl OF
the Period" Sue Robinson has greatly
improved since she was here last. We
are prepared to believe that she IS re-
garded in san Francisco as one Of the
best, if not the very best general COM
ely actress OH the coast. Mr.. Piper
has given us a decided treat. Hope he
will give us another soon."
The ALuANBRA -"RED Hon.
Last evening the Alhambra was again
we'll crowded. At the conclusion of =
long and exceedingly interesting pro-
cramme of song. dance. character acts
and general delineations, came 4 capt.
tai burleslue, entitled Red Hot. or
the Demon Of Mount Davidson"
original and presented for the first
time last night. The scenery was well
gotten up, and supposed to represent
the central bowels of the big old
mountain, at the point where the
Sutro tunnel will tap 1t in the year
2237l., in case it keeps IN, draining q
lake Of pure melted bullion. The
dresses were very appropriate, as well
as pretty and attractive, especially the
undresses. Arthur Gregory, rs the
Silver imp. was a peculiarly active,
gymnastical character, reminding one
Of Jack Lee. Ida May as BlueblazeS,
Lcayitt as Sir Saltpeter, Spriggs as
Mrs. McGrifin, and Farron as DIR.
Jaudoun. were also jolly good charac-
tiers. 'sRed Hot" will be served up
again tonight, spiced and sugared to
suit.
FATAL RAILROAD ACCIDENT The
} same deaf and dumb man who was
: struck by the pilot of the locomotive
and thrown from the track Of the
railroad near Carson just a week ago,
an account of which accident We gave
at the time, was again on the track
today-this time with a fatal result.
The locomotive Storey, with a freight
, train attached, was passing along, and
, when the man was seen the whistle
. and bell were both sounded to alarm
;. him, rs he was not recognized. He
was knocked down, and both feet cut
: of by the wheels Of the locomotive.
: besides receiving a severe cut Oh the
head. He died shortly afterward In
consequence OF his injuries. His name
!, was Thomas l.. Everett, 4 native Of
New York. and has been dealing
, in wood at Pine-nut Valley. Cir,
cumstances connected with this
. truly xad affair induce the belief that
this was 4 case of either mental aber,
, ration or deliberate suicide.
