Jacket mill, a six-horse team attached
to an empty wood wagon attempted t.
cross ahead Of the locomotive, and had
cleared the track all except the wagon,
when the horses became 50 scared and
paralyZed, apparently, at the approach
Of the locomotive that they actually
stood stock still. and the driver was
unable to move them backward or for.
ward. The engineer whistled 'down
brakes" or the distress signal, and the
brakemen did their duty promptly
but the train could not be stopped In
time, and the cow-catcher struck the
wagon, pushing and injuring It tosome
extent. and knocking down two OF
three of the horses, but without dam
aging them. Several Of the horses
broke loose and were about "skedad-
ding" but We're caught and pacifed.
The other horses were seon released,
and the wagon removed to one side OF
the railroad track. The driver escaped
without personal injury. We don't
know who was to blame, but 1t seemed
to us that 1t was the drivers fault az
he should not have ventured to cross
the railroad without exercising more
caution, rs the locomotive had been
whistling for half q mile back, and
there Is n large sign over the road
crossing which distinctly reads, "Look
out for the locomotive J" Besides, the
speed Of the train was quite slow at
the time. The teamster was either
Intoxicated, hard Of hearing, or indif-
ferent rs to consequences, In venturing
to cross the railroad when he did.
PIPER's OPERA HoUsE.-Fdachtn
was repeated last evening, and to al
even larger audience than witnessed
its first presentation, showing the
already increasing popularity and ap-
probation Of Miss Fanny Price with
our theater-goers. Her approximation
Of "Fanchon" was fully as coed as
that Of the previous evening, and was
received with the same high favor.
She was also sustained In n most ex-
cellent and satisfactory style by the
other personators Of the cast. As we
stated in our notice Of yesterday,
''Fanchon" as played BY Miss Price
seems new. Her style is decidedly
refreshing, after witnessing the COM
paratively st%ereotyped efforts Of other
artists so long, and she cannot fail to
become rs great 4 fayorite elsewhere
rs she is already here. A grand tri-
umph awaits her in San Francisco.
This evening the great sensational play
Of Eas, Lynne will be performed. with
Miss Price as LADY Isabel, ".Thayer
rs Archibald Carlyle" Miss Jennie
Vaudeville as Barbara Hare" and
the balance Of the characters we'll cast.
As the house will be crowded, those
bringing ladies had better secure seats
early.
PROFESSOR FAuNI.-Our friend the
enterprising Professor, to whom the
public are indebted for the several ex-
cellent concerts given at Piper's Opera
House, Virginia, under his direction
and with no profit to himsslfh Is now
at Carson, busily engaged in tuning
pianos, teaching music, and endeavor-
ing to %recuperate from his losses sus-
tanned through that unfortunate carni-
val masquerade he gave 4 week ago at
Athletic Hall, Virginia. Had all those
who got him into the scrape, by sigh
ing their names to attend, como up
squarely to their agreement, he would
have come out all right. But he will
rs it is. Farini is a good square man,
and means business ; therefore he
would not and could not stop at Vir-
ginia, but went as soon rs possible to
where he could earn the wherewithal
to square his accounts. His Virginia
friends will see him among them as
usual in due time. We make these
remarks in ~vindication Of the Profess
sol, who has not been fairly dealt with
altogether. We are pleased to learn
of his success at Carson, knowing him
to DO a capable and competent teacher
of music and the piano.
Ar IT A-GINN.-Our ever social and
enterpri.insly vigilant ''local'' cotem-
porary Of the Carson Register, says

INDUCED in a dance night before last,
which was attended and participated
in BY a respectable number Of whites.
That's it: go In, John. After being

improving your opportunities now that
YOU are domesticated among the festive
population of the State Capital. Was
