The Abbie Carington Grand. Opera
Company which TO a certain extent
contioenced our people last week, failed
TO make any better impression at
Helena than they did here The
following extracts from the Helena
papers show how the musical critics
of the capital sized the party up. The
Independent ssys:
The opera Of the Rose Of CastileD
was sung with proper regard for the
lines and music, and was interpreted
quite well under the circumstances.
II is too late in the day, however, for
six people TO spring grand or any other
sort Of opera on a Helena audience aud
expect 70 win laurels.
The Journal sums their entertain
ment up as follows:
"The Rose Of Castillo" was the attrac-
tiOn at Ming's Opera House last night.
The play was presented by the Abbis
Darlington Opera Company in . rather
different manner.
The Herald is scarcely more eompli-
mentry:
The Abbie Darlington aggregation,
miscalled an opera company, appeared
at Ming's Opera House last evening to
small audience. The troupe includes
six people, who, though good singers
and sufficiently capable TO be called
artists, are neverthe less not sufficiently
omniscient or ubiquitous to render a
whole opera themselves. What work
they did wss good, and the singing Of
Abbie Darlington was especially en-
joyed.

Four Deaths in a Coal Mine.

CLARKsBURG, w. Va, May T.
This morning about o'clock, at the
Ocean coal mines, two miles northeast
Of this city, owned by Wilson, Black
& Sheridan, a terrific explosion of gas
occurred. The report was heard for
many miles, and brought a throng OF
people from all the surrounding coun-
try. Fourteen men had descended
into the mine and about forty more
were descending when the catastro>
phe took Place. When the explosion
occurred two great clouds of smoke
and a large volume of water were
forced from the two entrances Of the
mine (sbout ], 900 feet apart, and there
was no idea that any Of the men would
come out alive, but the resouing party
decided to start into the mine. Ten
men were gotten out alive, but the
other four-George Feather, William
DouRherty, Nathan Gains and Charles
Welch-were instantly killed. Feath-
er's body was recovered through q rush
made by the rescuers, but the Others
could not be reached. The mine at
once took fire, and is burning furi-
ously. There is no hope Of obtaining
the bodies. If the explosion had oo-
Cured few minutes later forty lives
would have been sacrificed.

sheep butchers complain that they
csnuOt get enough fat sheep for their
trade, even at present high prices.

did not yield any wool, there would
be more money, at preseut prices, in
raising sheep for mutton than in any
other agricultural product. A glsred

Out in Pursuit of the
Rebel TO-DAY
They sent Him Ashore.

SAN FRANCISCO. May IA Chron-
c.e's special from San Diego says:
When the Chilian transport Etats
weighed her anchor last evening and
commenced to steam rapidly down the
channel, il was supposed the deputy
United States marshal, who had been
put aboard to hold her would either be
compelled to go with her to her desti-
nation, swim ashore or cast adrift upon
the desert Coronado islands, several
miles of the coast. He arrived in the
city this morning however, the Chill
ian captain having put him ashore at
the ballast point, eight miles from
town, and he made his way in the best
he might. His statement makes SEN
sational reading, and from circum-
stances surrounding the case the Etata
is nothing more nor less than q pri-
vsteer in the service OF the Chilian
rebels.
THE CHART EsToN WILL PURSUE.
The Alta California hes positive in
formation that the United States
steamer Charleston will sail for San
Diego tomorrow in pursuit Of the
ChilisD ship Etata. Secretary Tracy
telegrsphed special orders today, and
the Charleston left Mare leland today,
and anchored eff san Francisco, in
stead of taking her usual anchorage.
She went behind Goat island out of
sight. Her ostensible purpose in com
ing down il to try her guns. The
officers and men have been ordered TO
be on board st O'Clock Tomorrow
morning.
The Chronicle states that il has in-
formation that gives ground for the
statement that the steamer seen how
ering around the entrance to San
Diey is the armed transport Impe-
risle. She left ' alparaisO to intercept
the Etats on heI return voyage. The
Imperiale is a vessel Of 9, 800 tons. and
is said TO be capable Of steaming six-
teen miles per hour. Senior Casanova,
former Chilian consul, said yeste day:
at will be found that British money
is the mAinstay Of insurgents against
our government. The British want to
obtain control of the nitrate deposits,
and President Balmaceda wishes them
to be worked for the benefit OF the
Chilian government.
