present management, we are sanyuine
that 1t will continue among the leading

country for years to come.
oPPosrT1oN TO TOWN oovrRNxrNr.
Some of the ordinances adopted by
the Town Fathers meet with strong
opposition from a great many of our
leading citizens and taxpayers. Ordi-
nance No. 8, which fixes a license on
the various trades and branches Of
business, is especially condemned as
being %onerous, and in some instances
unequal in its operation. A meeting
or citizens opposed to the town o%rgani-
zation was yesterday held in the Amer
derstand about fifty taxpayers were
present. j. L. Hinckiey, of the Parker
House, presided as Chairman. The
object of the meeting was stated to he
the appointment Of a committee to
devise some means and employ le-
gal advice to upset the attempt being
made to crush the people by unjust
taxation for the support of a town
government. On motion, a commit
tee of five was selected to procure le-
gal advice and report to an adjourned
meeting, to he held Mt Eureka Hall
to-day at 3 o'clock p. N. The following
lame gentlemen compose the COM
Messrs. Wittenberg, Morgan,
Wilton, Mannheim, LutZinger, McCul-
Tough and Hinckley. The meeting then
adjourned, to meet ut the time and
place above stated. 1t will be seen by
reference to another item, published
in this issue of the SENTINEL, that a
grand mass meeting of all who feel in
terested i'll the matter under notice is
called for 3 o'clock this afternoon at
Eureka Hall. The attendance will
doubtless be large and the proceedings
interesting. We shall endcavor to get
full particulars of all that transpires.
INSTALLATION OF OFFICERS. - On
Saturday evening last p. NJ. Thomas
Wren installed the officers of Eureka
Lodge No. 16, +. & A., for the ensuing
Masonic year. David f. Baily ire
elected) "a installed as w. NJ; John
Gillespie as s. W.; II. G. Sherlock (rc-
elected) as J.. W.; +. Ievanthal as
\. Benedict (re-elected) as
Robert J. Reid as $. D.;
John II. Shoemaker as j. W.; James
Rully as NJ; Hiram Johnson and John
Corse as Stewards, and Peter Anderson
Tyler. The ceremonies of inStalla-
ton were conducted by =. NJ. Wren in
Il very impressive manner, and we are
informed the hall of the fraternity was
crowded by the brethren, who were
interested in the proceedings.
The Order in Eureka is in a most
flouriShing condition, and from our
personal knowledge of the above
gentlemen we would venture
the opinion that no better board of
could not be selected to whom
the affairs of Eureka Lodge could be
intrusted. We hope they MAJ con-
time as they have done since Eureka
Lodge was instituted in our town, do
ing much good in a quiet and unosten-
way; and many a worthy but
unfortunate man has had reason to
bless the day he first became acguaint-
ed with the mystic teachings Of the
compass and the square.
Another MASQUERADE. - From
good authority WE learn that our He
brew friends intend to give Il grand
masquerade ball on the 4th of March.
Some of the old sporting b'hoys, such
rs Max. Oberfelder, Gid Dave, Dave
Nathan, Rayfield, etc, will take the
management. 1t is not intended to
make any money out of the affair, but
il is principally gotten up to have fun
and joy on that eve. being the day of
rejoicing for our Hebrews. Each per-
son that intends to go can procure their
own costume on 4 very cheap plan.
and no matter where they get it as long
it is comic. The surplus money will
be donated, after the expenses are paid,
to the Fire Departments. We predict
a grand affair, as the parties that will
manage it are the same boys that in
troduced the first ma>que balls in this
town, two years ago. Success tn them
again.
\ CAvE.-On Sunday morning there
was a cave in an ore chamber near the
Lawton shaft of the Eureka COnsoli-
dated Company. The men who were
at work near by escaped without seri-
Gus accident. although several We're
closed in by the debris for some time.
and one ma was wounded by Il steel
can llestick-supposed to have been
against him when the rush was
made to get clear of the falling ma
terial AS the cave vas mostly in en-
hausted ground it has entailed no seri-
Gus loss, and will not interfere with the
continuance of the ordinary mining
operations.
DRIFT STARTED. - In the Richmond
main shaft a drift has been commenced
over 200 feet from the surface. This is
intended to strike the body of rich
ore recently exposed in the incline
down from the bottom OF the
Lookout shaft. \ shaft has also been
from the inside, and when con-
with the other an immense saw
ing will be effected in bringing the
ore to the surface. The mine neve
looked better, nor probably SO well as
it does at present.
WILL CLOSE OUT.-k. Hyman re-
quests us to say that on account of i'll
health he has determined to leave Eu-
reka, and will therefore dispose of
