Eureka daily sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1871-1887, 1875-12-19

Iork Stage,' published in the New
York Dispatch. gives the following
sketch of John Jack, who is now, in
connection with the Firmin Sisters,
playing an engagement at Bigelow's
Hall. "John Henry Jack was born in
Philadelphia, on February L, 1886, and
when only Is years Of age, d:stin.
guished himself as an amateur per
former. He became call-hoy Al the
Walnut Street Theater, PHILADELPHIA,
and in December, 1852, made his ap-
pearance as Judkins, in Woman l
Adore" The following season he was
retained for regular utility business,
and twelve months still later was play
ing first old man at the Marshall The
alter, Richmond, Virginia. A few years
later he became manager of the Will
mingtOn. Delaware, Theater, and there
we find him at the outbreak of the war.
with h ardor OF a patriot, he at once
closed his theater and commenced re-
cruiting. He accepted a ~lieutenancy in
the Second Pennsylvania Reserve Vol.
unteer Regiment, and was in the seven
days battle under Mcclellan, and the
three days fight Of the second Bull
Kun. AT the latter he was seriously
wounded. and his life was despaired of.
He, however, recovered, was publicly
complimented for his bravery, and re-
celvei a captaincy, which he held, con
tlnuing to serve until the close of the
war. On his retirement from the
army, in 1865, he played for a short
time in Philadelphia, and then came to
New York. He has been connected IN
this city with most of the leading thea
ters, including the Broadway, Niblo's,
and BoOth's-his last appearance being
ut the latter in support of Miss Cush-
man during her farewell engagement
last Winter. When last heard from he
was in Virginia city, Nevada, where he
was a heavy sufferer by the recent con-
fsagration there. Mr.. Jack is as good
an actor as he has proven himself a
brave soldier, anfi an earnest, self-sac-
rlficing patriot"
The GILA IN Hot WATER.-A re
cent San Francisco date says: The
ella stockholders, representing $4,000
shares, have called a meeting for the
Dist instant to see if the company's af-
fairs IAN not be investigated and set
straight for outsiders as well a.
insiders. The mine has been
yielding large amounts of bul
lion lately, but dividends are
scarce. Within a week a firm
known to be interested in the MANAGE
ment have brought suit for $4,000
shares and 81 ,000.000 damages, which
has created excitement among ouisid
ers. and a. they will have to ventilate
the management as well as try and

satisfied share-owners are going to
start in early and strong.
GRAND JURY.-The Grand Jury yes
terday submitted a partial report to the
District Court. Indictments were pre-
scented against the following PERSONS:
James Stanton, for murder; p. X. Ma
son, grand larceny; Peter Morris, may
hem; j. w. Reyes, embezziement;
Same Lee, burglary, and John Doe, as
sault with intent to kill. The bills
against Mrs. Kate Dees and - Ste
ven-, for assault with intent to kill,
were ignored. The Court fixed the
hail of Mason at $1,000; Morris, 5 5000;
Reyes. $1,000; Sam Lee, $1,000; John
Doe, $4,000. The Grand Jury Will

Who is HE?-The Virginia Chroni-
Gle gives an ccount of the doings of a
bronco fighter in a saloon in that city,
designating the hero as Mike Kear-
ney, the Phoebe a d Eureka fighter"
Phoebe may, perhaps, lay legitimate
claim to the demon>tralive Michael,
but he certainly never tarrted long
enough in the Base Range TO indemnity
hiunseif with the place, for nobody
here knows anything about him. II
he had eve made such a break here,
as the Chronicle described. he would
have been clubbed To death with "A
stocking of sugar, or sent To the
Damphool Infrmary for ninety days.
STARTED UP.-The new furnace,
yesterday for the first time upon a lot
of flue dust from the Richmond stack.
The intense heat melted some of the
iron-work inside the furnace, conse-
quently a fair test of its workings was
not had, although the indications are

ARRESTED AT PINro.-Deputy Con-
stable Mckee went out to Pinto yester-
day and arrested Mark Moore, the
man who stabbed Henry Wilson cay
before yesterday. Moore was brnu2ht
into town and lodged in Jail. AS the
Grand Jury is now in session they will
probably act upon the case AT once and
| there will be no necessity tor an exam
jnalion before the Justice. There was
a report in circulation last evening that
| Wilson had died from his wounds, but
the SENTINEL reporter, upon tracing
up the rumor, ascertained that 1t was
without foundation.
BILLS IGNoRED.-After the grand
jury had reported yesterday it retired
10 its room, where it had under con
| sideration the case of VIM. Crulze,
