The new system of computing time
is very convenient in some domestic
circles. When a man gets home at
half-past twenty-four o'clock, he has
only to tell his wife that he hasn't yet
got the hang of the confounded thing,
and he didn't think it was more than
quarter-past nine, old style. This lets
him down easily; and if he orders
home a new winter bonnet from
Wabash avenue his veracity is not Sc
riously impeached.

THE VIRGINIA FIRE.
Losses by the Burning of Piper.
Opera House.

Losses by the Burning of Piper's
Opera House.
We condense the following from Tues
days Virginia Chronicle:
The fire alarm was sounded at $40 in
the morning. The fire was discovered in
the space between the dress circle ceiling
and the gallery. The flames spread out on
the roof, and the whole inside of the
building became q mass of flames. All
efforts to extinguish them were given up,
and attention vas given to saving the
adjoining buildings.
The origin Of the fire is unknown. Mr..
Piper believes that it was the work OF an
incendiary. When discovered the flames
were making rapid progress in the unused
rooms in the rear of the saloon of Joe
Piper. The rooms did not contain gaso-
line or combustibles of any kind, and we're
not entered by any one during the progress
of the masquerade. Mr.. Piper expresses
the belief that they were entered by the
~incendiary and fired some time between 4
and 5 o'clock.
The loss of John Piper is estimated at
S35 900, with not a dollar of insurance.
That amount includes the saloon on the
corner, with fixtures, bar, etc.
Other individuals sustained heavy losses,
hosSoy NGoA6o ! ~ 1ObV tCu
years. accumulation of bunting. drapery,
etc., valued at no less than 50, 100. Ernest
F. Hall lost a magnificent bass viol, per-
haps the finest in the State, and one which
the owner priced very highly. Charles
Browns collection of oil paintings,
which were kindly loaned for the occasion
of the masquerade, were totally destroyed.
Joe Piper's saloon, with fixtures, was
completely Quilted, and his household fur
niture, over his saloon, completely de.
stroyed. The loss is not known. A COL
lection was taken up for him, and it is
stated that quite a snug sun was realized.
The furniture in the storage-room Of I.
Goodfriend was damaged by fire and
water to the extent of over 500. Mr..
Meder lost musical instruments valued at
upwards of $3.50. Mr.. Piper's loss is
practically irreparable, and it is possible
that the Thespian temple will never again
be rebuilt.
This is the second time the Opera House
has been burned down.

An NgIy O

Yesterday afternoon about s O'Clock an
alteration took place at Fitzpatrick's Sta
ton between Thomas Fitzpatrick and
Walter Jackman, the latter being s team
ster for the former. A SENTINEL reporter
called upon Jackmsn at the Turner House
last night and found him resting tolera-
bly, easy, but seemingly stupefed by the
blow he had received from Fitzpatrick, or
possibly from medicine he had taken. He
said that the trouble occurred in Fitzpat.
rick's saloon room, where no whisky or
other drink is kept. He said there was
some talk Of his pay-some words between
them-when Fitzpatrick came around
from behind, the bar and struck him on
the back Of the head with something which
he thought was q bar Of iron. He was
felled to the floor and bled profusely.
Commissions Smith, who happened to be
present, took him to Pinto in his wagon.
William Powell, happening to be there in
q buggy, took him in and brought him the
rest Of the way to town as rapidly as posi-
BILE. He kept bleeding ell the way in
and must have lost q prOdiRious quantity
Of blood. At the Turner House DR.. Owen
was called and dressed the wounds. His
head IL very severely out, but it is not sup
posed that the skull is injured. Jackman
said he was willing to let the affair remain
as it was and would make no complaint
against Fitzpatrick.

grand ball in Emsrson's Hall on Friday
evening. the 18th inst. No doubt this
ball will be we'll attended.
There seems to be no doubt that the
Denver & Rio Grande Utah line will be ex-
tended to San Francisco. Nye County
will then be blessed with a railroad, and
many mining districts which now lie dor
mant for want of capital and rapid trans
portation, will come to life again.
Nye County's rate Of taxation for the
year 1883 is So as on each 500 Of taxable
property including the States 30 cents.

Record: A number Of the good little
Phoebe boys, aged from II to 16 years, are
the possessors of revolvers, which they
pack around in their pockets and boot
legs, and owing to the reckless manner in
which they pop" away at windows and
other targets, they have on several occa-
sions come very near shooting persons.
The Sheriff on Friday determined to dis
arm these young border rufians." So on
that morning, accompanied by eight or
ten men, the Sheriff proceeded to the
schoolhouse, the doors Of the school being
placed under guard so as to prevent any
escape, the officers proceeded to search the
Kids for mounted howitzers and siege
guns, but no implements Of war were cap

MINING MATTERS AT AUSTIN,
What is Being Done by the Man.
haitian COmpauY.

"hht H being none Dy the MAN.
haitian Company.
The Austin corrosr ondent of the Vir-
ginia Enterprise says "the mill of the
Manhattan Company continues grinding
right straight along, and grinds exceed
ingly fine, its present run, which COM
menced on the 30th Of October last, being
n Of the longest and most lucrative it
has yet experienced. About every other
day it sends forth its regular shipment Of
silver bullion-ten bars, worth 81, 900 or
more, each. The average of the ore
crushed at the previous run of the mill,
last Summer, yielded an average of $3.50
to the ton. The ore OF the present run is
not quite SO rich, but there is more Of it,
the mines showing and developing better
and more extensively than was anticipated.
The monthly payroll Of the company is
about $23. 900, employing many miners at
the regular rate-S4 per day-and the
tributers are generally doing we'll. The
mining and milling operations and bust
ness matters of the Manhattan Company
are exceedingly we'll managed and judi
ciously conducted in every respect. Not
withstanding all this apparent prosperity,
however, there is much grumbling about
hard times. This complaint comes princi-
pally from the business men. They openly
declare that although their customers have
plenty of work at good pay, they do not
come forward and square up their accounts
as they should. The tributers, especially,
they say, run long credits and big bills,
and cannot always be depended upon to
cash up. When they are in bad luck they
naturally are not expected to pay. Mean
while, good paying customers have to
make up for the poor ones, otherwise
the storekeepers would soon necessarily be
bankrupt. This idea or principle is not
new, however, here or even on the Com
stock. The veins being only a few inches
wide or thick, it does not pay to extract or
work any low grade ore, therefore rock
that yields $500 or $3.50 per ton under the
stamps is about on a par with $50 or $40
ore on the Comstock. Some of this ore,
however, runs as high as 81, 900 or So, 900
and over to the ton. Nobody cares to fool
away time getting out 500 ore; and base
metal ores are carefully left for future
reference or posterity. The general char
acter Of the ore worked is of the ruby or
antimonial silver variety, containing little
or no gold, and some specimens Of it, to be
seen in the numerous mineral cabinets
about Austin, are the most beautiful i'm
aginable; in fact moi to be excelled, or
perhaps equaled, on the American CONT
nent."
