JUNEAU.

On Monday evening of last week the
grist mill at Horizon, owned by H. B.
Marsh, was completely destroyed. by fire,
entailing loss Of about $15, 1000 with an
insurance of $1,000. The fire caught in
the tower which supported the large
wind mill on top of the building and
burned slowly downwards completely
getting the inside and leaving only the
four stone walls standing. The mill was
an old landmark, having been originally
built way back in the sos but had
been remodeled not very long ago. It
was the last mill Of three, remaining in
Horizon and its loss is'a severe blow TO
that already decaying village.

honored as is the play, the version pre-

those heretofore seen here, and is exceed
ingly we'll played by company of much
evenness, of which Fannie Francis and

Her Capitola is graceful, pleasing and

of Wool, and the two contribute to the
somewhat sensational play a large

4 Large audience and lots of
Fam.

although a strong attraction was
playing at the other house the same
evening, in direct opposition, this South
ern drama was presented at Crowther's
Opera House last night to fashionable,
and, with one exception, the largest
audience of the season. 1t is safe to say
that every one present was highly enter
tanned. The bright star of the cast is
Fannie Francis, whose good looks and
charming acting captiYated the audience.
Her characterization is original and re-
freshing, and she makes 1t interesting for
everybody on the stage as we'll as off from
the time of her appearance as Archie,
the newsboy, until her graceful little
speech at the close as Capitola LIE Noir,
the heress. Wool, "a gemman of color
by Billy Robinson, was particularly
popular with last nights audience, and
is an excellent and favorite artist in his
role. The play is long, but it is doubt
full if any in the audience found it tire
some. The Hidden Hand by this COM
