the eyes of the audience were focused
on the Roman nose of which the comic
opera bard had just been singing, he
arose, looked toward the other hero
and laughingly applauded again. Cy-
rano and all his company looked at the
admiral and clapped their hands, while
the audience impartially applauded
both of them.
When the act ended and Mr.. Wilson
was called on for n speech, he said,
looking apologetically at the admiral:

FELL TWO STORIES.
Carpenter Honeywell's Lucky Es-
cane From Death

Charles Honeywell, the WellknoWn
carpenter, had a bad fall yesterday
about noon, and the only wonder is he
was not killed outright. As it was,
however, he escaped without the break
ing of any bones, and aside from a bad
shaking up and some bruises, he is all
right.
Honeywell is apparently upward of
so years of age, and only recently re-
covered from the effects OF injuries
received some months ago when the
Tuscan Springs Hotel was burned. Yes
terday he fell from the second story
of the Heilbron building on ] street,
and what probably saved him from be-
ing killed outright was the presence of
a pile of mortar where he struck. Tt
was pretty stiff, having been made
some days ago, but was more yielding
than the hard ground.
After having his bruises attended to
by City Physician Nichols Mr.. Honey
well was able to walk. He was taken
to his home in the afternoon.

The last we knew of him he in May

from there went to Truckee, Nevada
County, and purchased a ticket for
Grass Lake, or started for home, al
least Don't know but he may have
bought a ticket for Chicago or jackson,
Jackson County.
The Postmaster at Ophir said he
heard he was doped and had his ticket
and money stolen from him, and that
he was at work over about Truckee
somewhere. We have written to him
at that place, but the letter was re-
turned, and we would like to know
what has become of him. SO l take
the liberty of addressing this letter &c
