PEASANCE OF ii NOGAI 4EDDO JAP
kNEsE TRoUrE To-NIoHr.-This even
ing Piper's Opera House reopens with
one of the greatest attractions imagi-
nable, being the famous Japanese
troupe Of acrobats, gymnasts, postum
ers, magicians, ETC., comprising six
teen performers, including three Ia
dies, all stars In their particular line.
The distributed programmes set forth
as follows: Among all the aston
ishing performers ever seen, Professor
Gangero stands ut the head. You can
form no idea Of this performance with
out seeing 1t. He does feat. Of Jug
Cling that no other living man can
accomplish, and from the time he ap-
pears until he leaves the stage the au-
dlence are in q state of intense excite
ment. He Is accompanied in his per-
formances by his lady and his six ju-
venile pupils, among which are the
boy Spider, All Right and Wonder;
also, the daring female rope-walker,
Otoksan, the belle Of Japan" The
programme Of entertainment is adver-
tised In another column. Our Cali
fornia exchanges speak very highly Of
the performances OF this troupe, as the
best ever coming from Japan, and we
doubt not that the Opera House will
be we'll crowded tonight. There Is
no increase Of the rates Of admission,
and reserved seats can be secured at
the box office without extra charge.
Those attending from Gold Hill or the
Divide will find 1t advantageous to
make n private arrangement with
Jake Whites bus line for their passage
to and from the theatre.
PERsoNAL.-Yesterday, tsays Sum
days Enterprise), two old citizens who
have beed visiting their old homes in
the Atlantic States, Postmaster Adki-
sou and t. NJ. Adams, late Alderman
of this city, returned to repose once
more in the pleasant shadow Of Mount
Davidson. They say they have seen
larger and handsomer places than Vir-
ginfa City during their absence-and
had they not they must have worn
clam-shell goggles-but no place where
the tickle goddess might be more sue
cessfully wooed than along the Com
stock. Mr.. Adams penetrated in the
Pennsylvania oil region and fora time
had the ~oleaginous fever, as only oily
words rolled from his tongue; but he
got 1t into his head that the whole re-
zion M OF these days would burn up,
and having a wholesome fear OF any
thing smelling Of h, the lower re-
gions-he concluded that on the whole
lie would come back and take his
chance Of going straight down on the
Comstock range along with the rest OF
the Washoe saints.
TWELVE REcAPTURED.-ThuS FAR
only twelve Of the escaped convicts
from the State Prison have been re-
taken-one near Genoa, two near Nir-
sinia, four near Walker river, three
beyond Aurora aud two at Placerville,
Cal. Seventeen are still mt large. \
few may be captured, but they have
got such a good start that most OF them
will doubtless make good their escape.
The reward was not offered soon
enough By at least 4 week, and Is too
small as it Is to make 1t much OF an
object. Five hundred dollars apiece
should have been offered for them,
dead or alive. Such q reward would
have remunerated officers for hell
time, trouble and expense In hunting
the refugees. The present reward,
small as 1t Is, may, however, induce
the capture of those who can be with
out much trouble or expense, ike
those at Burgess ranch.
Two MORE CoNvIcTs CAPTURED
We made mention in last Fridays
NEWS, that Governor Bradley had re-
ceiyed a telegram from the Sheriff at
Placeryille, CAL, that he had captured
one OF the escaped ~convicts and thought
he had some more Of them nearly Sc
cured. The Carson Register OF yester-
DIV saws: "The liksnesses Of two men,
ca1tured at or near P~lacerville, sup
nosed by the authorities to be escaped
%conyicts, were forwarded to Governor
Bradley Yesterday morning. The Gov.
ernor proceeded to the prison and
showed them TO the Warden, who re-
cognized them a the likenesses OIL
Bigelow and McCue. The fact was
Immediately telegraphedto P~lacerville
and consequently we may expect them
in town in a day or two"
A CLOSE CNL.-Johnny Ncwhouse,
one Of the bravo guardsmen who
"stood In" so calamity on the occa.
sion of the recent grand break at the
State Prison, and fell fighting, Is, we
are pleased to know, nearly recovered
from his wounds. Yesterday he semi
us . bit of a "reminiscences of that ter
rible affair." copy Of the GOLD HILL
NEws-found on the sill OF n fron'
window Of the prison through which
the ~conyicts killed Matt. Pi1ley ant
were shooting at the guard. The paper
bears the mark Of a bullet ploughinE
through it, also a large black spo'
made by powder, where the muzzle o
a u or pistol was rested across 1t
The paper bears date of the day pre-
yious to the break.
TRIED 10 BURN THE BoDY.-1t seem
that the escaped convicts who captured
and murdered William Poor, Bill!
WILLOWS mail rider, beyond yelling
toms, tried to burn the body, in orde
70 thus destroy the traces OF their in
fernal crime. The Carson Reoiste
avs "The body Of deceased showeC
marks Of fire, and the %sagebrush in tn,
vicinity was burned, showing that tn,
attempt had been made. Roberts &c
clses Jones Of the murder, and say
That he was ahead Of the party, whel
Jones rode up on the pony rider
horse, and with his clothes Oh, an
said he had killed the rider"
