THE DEATH OF GEORGE CHAP.
MAN,

In yesterdays dispatches TO tie
Enterprise Sc End the following an
nouncenent:
The death Of George Chapman, the
veteran pioneer actor, Is announced
to-day ct the sge Of seventy-tkree
wears. Deceased arrived il this State
with his family in 1850 as q member Of
the theatrical company of the celobra-
ted =. Il. Thorne family. Tie was we'll
known throughout the Pacific coast,
appearing, in early days, in every
town and mining camp CT any conse-
quence. Mr.. Chapman retired from
the stage many Years ago.
The mention Of old George Chap
mans nauie revives a host Of memo
ries of tie cld-timers Of the early Cali
fornia stage. George Chapman was
one Of family of excellent English
actors. He WAS a brother, We believe.
of William and Caroline Chapman,
two Of the most sterling actors that
ever lived. Old Bill Chapman" as
he used to be called, rated first class
among the comedians of his time; and
as an actor ct all work nobody sur
passed him. He died from the effects
of being run down or run over, III
Marysvi,ie, nearly twenty years ago
by vehicle in charge OF a young man,
Tompkina by name-son of Schuyler
Tompkins, at one time Msyor Of that
city. This young Tompkins was af
forwards killed by the blow of a shout
der strikers fist In saloon in New
York Caroline Chapman was one Of
tho mos: versatile actresses that ever
trod the boards. She was almost
equally excellent In any character
within ami including the range from
Lady Teazle to Topsy-and We have
seen her ali thu way aleng, and in
world Of parts, tragedy, comedy and
farce. Gerrge Chapman was such a
tramp, he ard his family, that he got
the name Of gypsy; and this epithet
seemed to be justified by their speak
ing sort of "queer" lingo, q pig
Latin of their own devisipg, probably.
This Family began their strollirg life
in the United States on a flat-boat On
the Ohio and Mississippi rivers. After
coming to California they went the
rounds Of all tho mountain theaters,
performing everything in the whole
range of the drama. We have seen
George Chapman-whose true "busi-
ness" was the lowest Of low comedy
IN the title role of O:heiIo," with
Mrs. Chapman "a lnarvellously dull
actress as Desdemcna. Also We have
seen him play "The Stranger" to her
Sc Mrs. Halter" Chapman's great
part was Wormwood" in "The Lot
cry Ticket" "The Mock Duke" in
' The Honeymoon was immense al |
MS hands. Alonzo and Mary Chap |
nan and quite host of younger ones
we're Of this Family" In George |
Chapman's death We see the exit of |
,ne of the very last OF an old school Of |
lcsors whose heyday was thing of a
quarter Of century ago.

DEATH OF en- INTOXICATED HERMIT. "A
hermit by the name Of Coleman was
found dead in Eidurado Canyon about
fifteen miles northeast of Dayton last
Thursday afternoon. It seems that he
has q ranch on the Walker river and was
returning home from Virgtnia with his
team, when. from all appearances, his
horses took fright and ran upon an en-
bankment, upsetting the wagon and
fiinging him (Coleman) to the ground
with such force as to cause immediate
death. The last seen of him alive was
at the dollhouse five miles east of Day
ton at O'Clock Wednesday afternoon,
when, it appears. he was somewhat in.

of the Walker river settlers who left it
in charge Of herder and brought the

next Legislature has previously been
correctly stated to be: Republicans. 50;
Democrats, IS. The Senate, We are now
able to state. will be composed of II Re-
publics1s, II Democrats and Independ-

own county. 1t will thus bs been that
he controls the political complexion Of
the SeEate, and can decide either in
favor Of the Republicans or Democrats.
From a conversation held with him few
days since Va can almost announce posi-
lively that he will go into caucus with
the Republicans. and thus give US the
organization and control Of tee Senate.
We have advised him to such q course,
and his own inclina:ions and preferences
point him onward il the same path Of
duty. Mr.. Ross has never been any.
thing but Republican, and it is clearly
his duty to act with that organization,
when his services are so promptly de-
manded. He no longer has cause 10 iso-

publican party, and we trust he will
