PIPER's OrERA HOUSE," LUCIA DI
Observation-Disclosures beautiful
opera of "Lucia Iii Lammermoor"
was produced last evening with extra
and most satisfactory effect. Many
present deemed 1t the best opera yet
given by the troupe. We did not con-
slider 1t so good In the general scenic
effects, and the costumes were a COM
promise between Scotch and Italian.
The singing and true artistic delinea-
ton were certainly the best yet.
| Never did we hear Brignoli's clear,
| rich tenor ring out to better advantage.
and his dramatic efforts were more
spirited and effective than we had
reason to believe him capable. of.
Miss McCulloch, too, exhibited rarer
talents Is an actress, and the denoue-
ments Of the fine opera called forth
the powers of her sweet, clear soprano
to the fullest extent. The other char
acters We're we'll sustained, and the
frequent rapturous applause of the
audience fully attested hearty appre-
citation. The favorite ballads, "kath-
leen Mavourneen' and "Nothing Else
To Do" given so admirably by
Miss Henne between the second and
third acts, received their full need of
applause and Signor Ciccone's clari-
onet fantasia was also well received.
The theater was not so we'll filled rs
could have been wished, owing to the
threatening storm, muddy streets. and
the great Odd Fellows ball of the
night before, ut Athletic Hall. All
who were so unfortunate As to be alb
sent certainly missed the greatest mu-
steal treat, thus far, of the opera
season. This evening the great popular
opera, I'll Trovatore," replete with
the choicest musical gems, will be
given, and tomorrow night u grand
farewell entertainment, consisting OF
operate selections, ballads, instru-
mental pieces, ETC., will close the
opera season. Let I'll muSic-lovers
improve the opportunity, the ladies
particularly, this evening.
CoRoNER's EXAMINNTIoN.-The En-
terpri;e says the inquest on the body Of
Charles Cannadey (as we are informed
he spelt his nameh began last evening
ut 5 O'Clock, and after the examination
of several witnesses was adjourned till
. o'clock this evening. Thus far moth
ing new in regard to the killing of
Cannadey has come to light. Persons
are divided in opinion as whether he
shot himself or was shot by the woman
with whom he was living. 1t appears
that when first found his body was
lying upon the back part Of Il bed IN
the northwest corner of a room, upon
the left side, with the head north. Sup
posing him to have been lying asleep
In this position, 1t would have been
almost impossible for any person
standing in front of the bed to have
shot him through the neck under the
right ear, vet with all the evidence be-
fore them that has yet been produced,
many persons think that the deceased
met with foul play in some shape. The
inquest will doubtless be concluded
this evening.
The STORM. - The threatening
weather of the last day or two culmi-
mated, shortly after midnight last

damage worth mentioning was done
in Gold Hill. The storm moderated
