CARSON MINSTRELS.-ThiS excellent
amateur company of musicians opened
to full house, Tuesday evening. The
programme wasa very comprehensive
one,a and was carried out i'll full and
many pleasing additions made. The
anecdotes and conundrums were
original and pointed, and some of
them elected shouts of laughter and
others storms of applause. The in
strumental music was a treat. In part
first, the songs "Driven from Home"
by H. b. Sharp; "Waiting my OAR
ling, for Thee" by Z. d. Vincent alias
Thomas Davenport, the artist;
''Shamus O'Brien," by Al. Mills. and
"Down by the River" by Richard
Mills, were all we'll rendered and each
elected hearty applause. Davenport
lacking in volume: Sharp and the
Mills brothers have good voices, and
with a little more confidence will
make fine singers. Bob Flanders was
encored for his rendition of kiss me
Quick and GO" Though not mention
ed on the bills, Mrs. Minnie Bernard
was announced as a volunteer ard
came forward and sang Trust her
Not" with such power and accuracy
of detail that the audience was taken
by surprise and applauded to the echo.
In response to an encore she sang
''Why do Summer Roses Fade?" in
her most pleasing and artistic style.
Sam. Mitchell's violin solo came in for
a large share of applause, and SiIarp's
'.Josephus Orange Blossom songand
dance, was fully upto the Ben. Cotton
standard. To the encore he respond
ed with ''Love Among the Roses in
which he proved himself equal to
Billy Emerson. The comic quartette
by Bishop, Mills, Sharp and Frisbie
was the feature Ofthe evening, several
excellent local hits being introduced
that striking at the negro i'll the public
schools bringing down the house in a
perfect storm of applause and showing
Enthusiastically the bent of the public
mind on the subject. The bone solo
DN Sd Ill. 2hlttiftlt was d III atit
wonderful performance. and the u
dience let him go reluctantly after a
repetition. Richard Mills concertina
solo was a fine performance, and all
the boys in the ea went cup in a bal
loon" with him on the skillfully
drawn and delicious tones of the in
strument. The ..Sham Doctor" farce
was well performed, and the audience
retired highly delighted with the en-
t~ertainment. The opening night of
the Carson Minstrels was a decided
success in every sense.
PRISONERS EsCAPED.-Night before
last the turnkey at the State Prison
discovered hat two prisoners were
missing, and upon investigation it was
found hat they had bored a hole
through the ROOT of the main building
above the second tier of cells, and es-
cared. 1t is not known at what hour,
and there appears to be some doubt in
the minds of the officials as to what
day, the prisoners escaped-whether
Monday evening OF on Tuesday. The
two prisoners had complained of being
sick, and on Monday were allowed to
remain inside the building, since
which time nothing is known of their
operations, save what signs are left in
sight. They were not missed until
Tuesday evening. How they came to
be missed then, we can scarcely I'M
derstand, as the theory is advanced
that while they were concealed on top
of their cells Monday evening, the
officer whose duty it is to lock them
up, locked their empty cells, and left
them free to operate during the night
with the bit OF a brace which they had
struggled into the building. We won-
der he did not keep on locking those
empty cells until the sentence of these
men expired. Gross negligence some
where. Warden Denver has offered
$3.50 reward for the arrest and delivery
of the escaped, or Sl25 for either. Fol-
lowing arethe namesan nj descriptions:
