Eureka daily sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1871-1887, 1874-10-08
LAST NIGHTS EAIu.


The ball Of the Eureka Social and
Literary Club last night was a success,
bo-h in poin. OF numbers and perfect
enjoyment. Owing to the shortness of
the time allowed in preparing the hall
(Meyers and Franklin's new building).
The committc had barely time to put
the place in a prescn;able appearance,
and no time for the adorhment of the
walls. At 10 o'clock the Eureka Cotil-
lion Band, under the leadership of
Frank Riegeihuth, struck up the
Grand March (Mendellsohn's Wed.
ding March, and a long line of ladies
and gentlemen emerged from the re-
ception room and sauntered to and fro
TO the enticing strains of the music.
Many handsome costumes were exhib-
tied, the ladies seemingly determined
to properly inaugurate the dancing
ease by attiring themselves in show
ing toilets. 1t would be impossible
to name all who were there or how
they were attired, but among the
many we noticed Miss Kilday, in a
pink white tarleton; Mrs. X. l..
Chase, in white MORE antique silk;
Mrs. l.. w. Cromer. handsomely at
tired in bismarck skirt, trimmed with
golden b,own. and black lace over
skirt; Mrs. j. Dennis in garnet silk,
with black lace overskirt; Mrs. Thos.
Taylor in c~orn-colored tarletan: Miss
Lena Leventhal in pink; Miss Julia
VANDERBILT in green tarietan; Mrs.

costume; Mrs. F. W. Cole in steel
gray, with white overskir,; Mrs. Tho
baben, pink tarletan. with white over
skirt; Mrs. j.. {. Brown, green and
white tarletan, and white satin waist;
Mrs. j. O'Laughlin, in lavender and

ing had a splendid time, and Perfectly
satisfied with the nights entertain
ment.
PROTECT Your PRoPERTY.-A prop
er protection ofproperty should always
be a paramount consideration of both
business men and citizens alike, espe-
c:ally against the ravayes of fire. The
destruction Of ones property without
a warning, by the fire fiend, as it
sweeps through a town, is a dread
catastrophe, entailing sever loss to all,
but doubly so if house and home is not
insured by some reliable company.
Messrs. Miller Il Trowbridge, general
insurance agents of Eastern Nevada,
will insure property at reasonable
rates in any of the different companies
that they represent, and guarantee
perfect indemnify for all losses. They
are also agents of the Equitable Life
Assurance Company, whose tontine
offers inducements secured to none is
sued by any like institution in the
country. Mr.. Miller can be consult
ed at the office OF w. Il. IIarrub. on all
business pertaining to insurance, and
furnish any desired information.
THE WILToNs.-A good house, says
the Austin Rereiiie, greeted the
first performance of the Wilton
Dramatic Troupe, at International
Hall, last evening, and we venture the
assertion that there was not a person
present who was not agreeably disap-
pointed. Many Went there expecting
that, rs the Wilton Troupe is a travel
ing company. the show would be a
Cne-horse affair, and were both sur
prised and delighted t see such SPLEEN
did acting and such excellent scenery.
The WiltonS m a short en-
gagemcnt in Eureka in few days.
EXTENDING. = The new ditch on
Spring street is being extended two
hundred feet to the southwark. The
work is being done at the xDe of a
few citizens in that neiohborhood,
who will feel safer with the canal pass
ing their domains.
GRADED. - Spring street. between
Bateman and Clark, for a long time in
an almost impossible condition, is be-
ing graded and now is in good order.
As soon as the new earth settles Stag is
to he thrown on. making a hard and
good road.
Il PAY bAYs.-By a notice under
the head of New To-day it will be
seen that the X * Consolidated Mining
Company pays oil its furnace men and
miners on the l4ih instant, and mer-
chants will be accommodated on the
