DAR1No RAnRoAp VnLAINY.-The

DARING RAILROAD VnLKINY.-The
up train from Carson, drawn by the
locomotive Virginia, about 6 O'Clock
evening before last had a severe COL
lision with q loaded timber car near
Empire. 1t seems that some malicious
scoundrel had taken opportunity TO
loosen the brake of q car loaded with
heavy timbers standing on the side
switch at that point, and ran 1t down
upon the main track, where he set the
brake again, and deliberately left 1t to
be run into by the train. He even
closed the switch carefully, so as to
insure the success of his nefarious
scheme. The train came along at the
Fate Of fifteen miles an hour, rounding
a curve, and it being dark, and the
headlight Of the locomotive being de-
fective and not lighted, the car was
not seen till close upon 1t. The collision
threw the locomotive from the track,
damaging it very considerably, but
fortunately neither engineer, fireman,
conductor, brakesmen nor any n else
on the train was hurt. Had the train
been running at its full rate Of speed,
everybody on board would probably
have been killed or injured. The rail-
road company offer q reward of $1,000
for tho arrest and conviction OF the
villain or villains concerned IN this
murderous act.
PIpER'. OPERA HoUsE-THE ROYAL
JARS TONIGHT. = The Royal Yedo
japanese troupe having returned from
Carson will put in m more aud their
very last appearance ut the Opera
House, for this evening only. Since
their engagement closed at this theater
a week ago, they have visited Silver
City, Dayton, Empire and Carson,
having good houses ut each place, and
giving most excellent satisfaction, as
they did here. Being now on their
way to Salt Lake and the East, they
stop here tonight in order to favor our.
theater-goers with a parting perform
ance, and give those q chance to see
them now who did not see them before.
Their programme for tonight en-
braces all their best feats and intro
duces several new and choice ones.
These Jap5 are marvels Ia their pecu-
liar line, far outdoing any gymnastic,
~acrobatic or Juggling experts ever seen
on this coast. IL Is impossible to give
an adequate idea of their wonderful
skill by any attempt at description;
they must be seen to be truly appre-
ciated. Bear in mind that this Is posi-
lively their last appearance in this
section. No extra charge for reserved
seats.
PAsMoRE's COMPLIMENTARY Con-
cERr.-The grand complimentary con-
cert testimonial rendered to Prot. Pas
more by the Choral Society, to take
place next Monday evening, at Piper's
Opera House, will be very fully and
fashionably attended, as already a
large number of reserved seats are
taken. The programme published in
our advertising columns promises a
rich, rare and racy musical treat, and
among the vocalists volunteering for
the occasion are some who, although
possessing talent Of a high order in
that line, have never appeared upon
the stage to sing before an audience.
The box sheet, for the securing of re-
served seats without extra charge, Is
now at II. l.. Higgins Dollar Store, g
street, Virginia, and on Monday 1t Will
be found at the box Office Of the
Theater.
SAVAGE MISE.-The Enterprise says:
There is but little ore in this mine
above the tenth level, and not much
room for the development Of any new
bodies. For anything new they must
now look below the tenth level. They
have about two weeks repairing to do,
when they will at once commence the
work of sinking the incline-now
started on tho tenth-for the purpose
Of opening a new level below, when
they hope to find good ore.
10 BE ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS are
being made to rebuild the Methodist
Church at Virginia. 1t will be Of wood
and somewhat smaller than the old
brick building. 1t is to cost about
$4,000.
