SCOTS fine singing in the first part was
much and deservedly applauded. He
sung dublin Bay" in a style not
easily equaled. The patriotic finale,
introducing the glorious tableau OF the
Goddess Of Liberty, was admirable,
Fostelle personating the Goddess to
splendid advantage, guarded on either
side by representatives Of the Army
ard Navy in costume, while tho Amer
lean flag formed an appropriately beau
tiful background, and a rich glow OF
red fire illuminated the grand picture.
Purdy, Jones and FoStelle appeared in

lowing from the Register Of this morn
Ing: State Mineralogist Henry Il.
Whitehlll returned yesterday from n
trip to Railroad District, Elko county.
Leaving Palisade on horseback, last
Wednesday, he rode all day over the
mountains where the fine snow was
drifting In q freezing cold wind. and
returned to the railroad at night to
find his right ear badly frozen. The
ear, though badly frosted, will proba-
bly, be saved, but may be Scared.
little 6-year old boy, son Of David K.
Jones, living in Upper Carson Valley,
had u leg broken a few days since
while playing In tho yard with other
children. There was nc apparent
cause for the fracture, but while the
little fellow was running across 4
smooth yard one of the bones OF his
leg suddenly snapped and puuctured
the flesh to the epidermis. DIR. Luce
was called In and set the limb.
Professor Lewis Chalmers, mining en-
gineer and agent Of the English capt.
talists who have been for some time
negotiating for the purchase OF the
Dunderberg mine, left here yesterday
for London, In obedience to a telegram
calling him home for a final report and
verbal consultation preparatory to the
contamination Of the trade. 80. The
State Board Of Examiners counted the
money In the hands Of the State Treas
urer yesterday.
DANGERoUs SIDRwALK.-The broad,
elevated sidewalk on the east side Of
d street, Virginia, between Piper's
Opera House and Taylor street, Is In
n very dilapidated and dangerous con-
dltion, more so than any other IN the
city. The recent heavy SHOWS weight
ed and crowded it all out Of shape, and
In places IL IL about ready to topic
over with a grand crash upon the
buildings below. A big crowd passing
over It from the theatre some fine
evening might happen. to so down
with it to the depths below in grand
sensational style. In some places also
the railing at the side is gone, leaving
nothing to prevent n person from
walking or and obtaining n fall OF
about 20 feet some dark night, with an
uncomfortable certainty Of broken legs
or neck. The property holders or
somebody should fix that sidewalk rs
soon rs possible before there are any
cripplcs to pay for.
A STORM BREwISG.-The Enterprise
Of this morning says: Although
there Is little appearance Of 1t, the sky
being az sclcar as q bell,' another
storm Is certainly brewing. For sew
eral DAYS the atmosphere has gradu-
alIy been decreasing in density. Yes
terday 1t was so light that 1t would
only float smoke very near the surface
of the earth. The barometer has been
steadily falling for five days-a pretty
sure Indication that u storm VIII be
n long one when 1t does GOMEZ" How
long will it be, Dan, before 1t does
come?
WATER TRoUBLEs.-There Is much
grumbling about town, says the hnter-
prise, in regard to water rates. The
people say that just now when water
is plenty and should be cheap, they are
required to pay a dollar where they
formerly paid fifty cents. In some
parts of the town the women brandisn
their broomsticks and discourse more
fluently than elegantly with the Oh
lector when he goes his rounds.
