fanny incidents and situations, calling
forth loud and frequent applause from
the we'll pleased audience. The old
time New York fireman "Mose," with
his red shirt, plug hat, fancy ear-locks,
and peculiar Jakey styles and express
slons, was ~personated as only Chan
faau can do it. Ellie Wilton was the
gayest, most "gallus" and witching

accompanying characters, Mr.. Sinclair
made a decided hit as the melo-drama-

CHASFRAU SENSATIONAL ErIsoDE.-
About 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon
Mr.. Chanfrau, the celebrated actor,
met with quite an accident, which will
induce him to painfully remember the
land of sasebrush for awhile at least.
Manager John Piper, Of tho Opera
House, Mr.. Chanfrau, and Mr.. VIM.
Foard of Virginia, took q bit of a ride
in a double-seated carriage, driving a
span Of lively horses. They drove
down to Gold Hill, took a look at
some Of the principal mining works
and objects Of interest, and on their
return went by way Of the Tunnel
Toll road In order to visit the County
Hospital and see DIR. Zabrlskie, the
resident physician, who Is an old-time
friend Of Mr.. Chanfrau. Just as they
were making the turn from the toll
road to the road leading to the hos
| pital, incautious driving over q side
ling place caused the carriage to upset,
| pitching all three gents out headlong
among the sagebrush and loose stones.
| The horses were we'll behaved anil
mails, and Piper, cllnglng fast to the
lines, they did not get away with
| the carriage. Mr.. Chanfrau received q
severe cut or confusion over the left
eye, and was severely bruised about
the right hip and thigh, laming him
considerably. Ford received a severe
cut n the upper lip, setting his
nose up quite palpably. Piper escaped
with a few bruises. They made out to
right up the carriage which was not
materially injured, except about the
top, which was essentially demoralized,
and drove ON to the hospital, where
DIR. Zabriskie gave them q hearty wei
come and bound up their wounds.
Chanfrau would not trust Piper to
drive back to Virginia, but took the
lines and drove himself. He says John
Piper isa first-rate theater manager,
but can't drive more than II horse at
q time, and Is rather unsafe then.
PUBLIC ScHooL.-The work Of adapt
ing the old Catholic Church to school
purposes, says the Enterprise, Is being
pushed forward theoretically, and the
building will probably be ready for
occupancy by the school children on
Wednesday or Thursday morning.
The seats have already been put In
place, and stoves are being set up to-
day. Some doubts have been expressed
as to the safety of the building, but we
are assured by reliable mechanics that
there Is N cause for apprehension OF
danger to the little Ones. 1t Is to be
hoped, the weather permitting, that
immediate steps will be taken by the
Board Of Education towards rebuilding
the school edifice, as the church Is not
very convenient for educational pur-
poses.
The PLAcE.-Banner Brothers, cor
ner Of C and Taylor streets, Virginia,
extend q free invitation to the male
population of Gold Hill and Virginia
to call at their great establishment and
get fitted out with choice suits Of
clothing for the Winter at less prices

The holidays are approaching, and
Banner Brothers r disposed to do
the liberal thing BY everybody.
S1pEwALKs.-Chief Downey says the
gaps In the new sidewalk on the west

has caused a new piece OF sidewalk to
be laid down at the north side OF lay
lor, between c and B streets.
