THE CITY COUNCIL.
Report of the Committee Appointed
to Examine the Opera House.

Report of the Committee Appointed
to Examine the Opera House.
The city council met last night in ad.
journed session. The principal business
was the report of the special committee
appointed by the street committee to
examine the condition of tho opera
house as to its safety. The special com.
mittee was made up of F. P. Trott, city
engineer; F. Heinlsin, architect, and
E. Sunderland, builder.
The report 10 very voluminous and
decisive. 1t enters into the details OF
the architecture and deals also with the
facilities of escape in case Of panic Gre
ated by fire or any other cause. Itcloss.
with the opinion that the latter are in.
sufficient and that the structure is un-
safe.
The report, however, was incomplete
in that it contained no recommends.
ton to the council a. to what course to
pursue in regard to the building. The
attention of Mr.. Trott was called to this
defect in the report and he said that
the chief danger lay in the insecurity ot
the roof, which was supported by 8
truss, and in the upper galleries. The
south wall was also defective, but moi
being builder he was unable to say
whether or nottit was OF such q char.
acter that safety could be obtained only
by general condemnation of it. The
report was referred back to the specia
committee for completion.
The matter, OF the charges of the
water company for water for the city
hall plaza and for street sprinklinp
came up. There was a disposition te
oppose payment and contest the validity
of the company's franchise. 1t wal
decided, though, to submit the case te
the street committee before proceeding
to heroic action.
Proportions were received from
agents OF safe manufacturers for saft
for the recorders Office, and other bust
ness of an unimportant character wai
transacted,

A LONE ROBBER.
A Virginia & TruCkee
Express Pillaged.
The Wages for Employees
Carried Off.
The Job was Performed With
out Stopping the Train.
A Friendly SnoWstorm Hides the
Robbers Trail from a Pur-
suing Posse.

By the Associated Press.
CARSON, New, Feb. S.-About seven
O'Clock this evening when the Virginia
& Truckee mail train was mile out OF
town the express car was smashed in
and box containing money to pay the
wages of section hands along the road
to Reno, was demanded of Jack Page,
| Wells-Fargo & Cos. express messenger,
at the point of shot gun.
1t is customary to pay off the men on
the tenth of the month and George
Mills, paymasters of the road boarded
the train At the depot this evening with
a tin box containing money the exact
amount of which could not be learned.
The train moved slowly out OF town
and it is evident the robber got aboard
the train when nearing the outskirts,
getting on between the mail and ex-
press cars. When about mile out of
town the rear door of the sx-
press car WAS suddenly smash
ed in and the man with shot
gun demanded the tin box of money
which he knew to be in the car. The
robber then took hold of the bell cord
and gave the engineer the signal to
sup buC IIHlu, WHICH W AS UOue As bOOu
as possible. After securing the box the
robber jumped from the train, starting
toward town.
The train Immediately backed down
to the depot and Paymaster Mills in
formed the sheriff of the robbery and a
posse was organized with the intention
of tracking the robbers through the
snow. This is hardly thought possible,
as the snow is falling rapidly and after
the man is once in the broken road
the trail would be lost.
Messenger Page describes the man a.
of ordinary height and weighing about
l60 pounds. He had cap drawn over
his head in such manner as to be un-
recognizable. 1t is the general opinion
that the robbsr is now in hiding in
town. 1t is generally believed the rob-
berry was committed by man familiar
with the situation and the rules of the
company. The posse has not returned

posed for the delectation of the general
public. The star performers are q
young professional gentleman and
society belle ably supported by the

A Sport Draws Against an Imaginary
Bank Account.
On Thursday night young man we'll
known about town fed himself to the
tiger. He prepared himself for the
sacrifice by becoming irresponsibly
drunk and drawing a check for $40
against constructive and imaginary
bank account. The check was cashed
at Luke & Hurley's and the proceeds
were dumped into the remorseless NAV
OF the tiger.
Yesterday morning before banking
hours he went around to stop tho
presentation of the check and admitted
the fiction of the bank account. He
pleaded for time in which to make the
amonnt good. He was given reason
able limit but at l O'Clock this morning
he was presumably too busy hustling to
call at the Reception and report the
success of his quest.
