Was II MUlpkn?-This morning at
about half-past l o'clock. the dishwasher
OF the Union House. situated ON Main
street, Gold Hill. a Chinaman. was
found dead on the door OF the kitchen
with his throat cut from ear to ear. The
knife with which the deed was commit
ted Was found lying nea him. and was n
long butcher knife with n blade about
sixteen inches long. An inquest was
held by Coroner Holmes in the Town
Marshal's Office to-day. and We give the
condensed testimony Of Mrs. Taylor.
the proprietrsss Of the house. She
said that the deceased had been
in her employ about four months
washing dishes and doing chores around
the house; that she also employed n
Chinaman as cook. who had been with
her for about two weeks; that on sun
DAY evening. about s or . O'Clock. the
cook came to her looking very frightened
and said that there was a man in the
kitchen. His looks frightened her aud
she paid no attention TO what he said.
but sent him with some wood to build a
fire. She did not 60 in the kitchen. The
cook then left. as she supposed. to build
the fire, anu she has not seen him since.
That was all she knew about IL. Tho
Chinese cook was arrested in Virginia
City To-day, but he appeared before the
Corner in u different suit Of clothes from
those worn while at work the night pre-
yious. He could throw no light on the
subject. AL hs knew was that he had
occasion to 90 into the kitchen. and that
he saw his companion weltering in his
blood. He got frightened and ran Oh to
Virginia. The Jury returned a verdict
to the effect that the deceased came to
his doath by suicide. The cook was
discharged from custody. and 80 the
matter closed. No further inquiry will
be male into the cause Of this mysterious
death. for lit was only a Chinaman."

.~.Hunehbaek." Her conception OF the
character is very good. Since her first
appearance. Miss Leighton has contin-
ued 10 win admirers. who have found in
her acting. much to approve from night
20 night. We predict for this lady
who is now starting out ON her profess
ionai career a brilliant future. little
more care and attention In minor de-
fails will add greatly to her power. On
her return from the East. where wo pro-
sumo she is going. we hope TO witness u
great improvement in her general acting,
as we know we shall. IL she iavors M by
snacting. in Virginia. some OF her spec
~ialties. Mr.. Lindsay deserves special
mention for his excellent rendition OF the
character Of Master Walter. last night.

tress. of some note, will make her ap-
p.arancs in the title role OF Deborah,

tress in the stock company. y Miss
