Tho Grismer-Davies company will ap pear at Occidental hall, for two nights only, Monday and Tuesday, February 2 and 3, in two of tho New York successes, "Monto Cristo" and "Michael Strogoff." The Virginia City Tribune, of November 1G, Epcaksof the company and "Monte Cristo" us follews: "The size of the audience which wel comed tho appearance of tho Grismer Davies combination in 'Monte Cristo' last night must havo been a very gratify ing sight to Manager Piper. The house was packed from door to stago borders. The play was woll put upon the stage and gave thorough satisfaction. Tho com pany is a strong one in every department and the members being in perfect accord with each other and tho play, cannot but reader their performances both charm ing and thorough. Joe Grismer, as Ed xnond Dantes, Count of Monto Cristo, did a fine piece of acting. He is remark ably effective. His manner is singularly oasy pnd graceful, his reading pure and intelligent, and his expression full of fine feeling and truthfulness. He gave a thoroughly balanced performance and in vested tho character with artistic power. Mr. Stockwell is a comedian of rare ability: one who understands the now al most obsolete tact of sacrificing his own identity in the character he portrays, and who fully appreciates tho quiet natural ness of perfect acting. Miss Phoebe Davies as Albers de Morcerf. looked very sweet in her soldier costume, and made all she could of a part not specially prom inent in tho play. The rest of the cast was well filled and with gratifying suc cess. Tho play throughout was warmly received by tho audience, a fact duo in no small part to the general excellence of the acting of tho company."

Lo.idox, Jan. 34th, 330 p. ic The houses of parliament and the government offices were severely shaken and consid erable amount of damage was done by a dynamite explosion a few minutei ago. It is impossible at this moment to tell the exact extent of the calamity. The greatest excitement prevails and enor mous crowds are assembling at the scene uf the explosion. 3, p. M.-The explosion occurred close to the house of Lords, nearWestminsterhalL It is reported that tho explosives were placed in the crypt under the building. Tho force of the shock was tremendous and was felt a great distance. Tho dam age done is very great. Rumors are oar rent at this hour that another explosion occurred at 2 o'clock this afternoon at London Tower. The excitement increas es with every moment and the city is filled with flying ramors of the most ter rible nature. There were twe explosions instead of one as first supposed at the parliament houses. The second came about throe minutes pfter the first one which was near the house of oommoai and tho other at Westminster Hall. One mam hasbeea arrested near the scene of the explosion. A large detective foroe is hard at work now seeking lancer de velopments, which are anxiously awaited, Earticmlarly by the people m the neigh oodof Westminster hall. 350 p. sc Tho rumor of the London Tower explosion is confirmed. Fourteen persons are injured. The outrage was the most Buccessfal yet made vpon any public building since the inauguration of the present era of dynamite warfare. The famous old building WAS OBOWDED WITH VtSITOttS at tho time of tho explosion. The -wildest rumors aro in circulation as to the number of persons injured. Theto ru mors are being oarried through the city and constantly exoggerated by visitors. Up to 4 o'clock but sixteen persons havo been officially reported as injured by the explosion, sono mortally. 450 p. u. The attack was made on the building known as the "TThite Tower." It was f airlr filled with visitors at the time and most, if not all. of those hurt were moving about in tha tower at the time of the explosion. The white tower was almost completely wrecked by the force of the explosion. The roof was blown dear off the stricture; all the persons known to be injured, were visitors. Saturday being the usual visit ing day at the houses of parliament the buildings contained a great number of sight seers at the time of the explosions. The first explosion occurred in the crypt of Westminster Hall; the second took place in the strangers' gallery in the houso of commons. This explosion knocked the peliceman in charge down and injured him seriously. His oase is considered critical. The seoond explo sion in the parliament buildings occurred throe minutes later, and was lar more destructive. The dynamite which caused the second explosion must have been placed under the peers' gallery en the left side, liittie hope is entertained oi the survival of the wcunded policeman. The foroe of the explosion was suoa that one man WAS BLOWK TO TOT BABT3 three hundred yards from the point of the explosion. The lobby of the house of oomznons is completely demolished. 5. p.m. Acluototho perpetrators of tho outrage is thought to havo been dis covered. Just before the explosion oo curred a man and woman, the latter carrying a hand bag, engaged a oeb out- Biue mo parliament, yoru ana wuicrjui; drove rapidly away, giving no directions as to their destination. They had not gope far when the oxploaion happened. The cabman, hearing this, stopped his cab, and the man and woman at onco leaped out and hastened quickly from tho spot. The cabman went in pursuit of tho runaways who wore soon over taken and arrested bv tho nolicts. The prevalent belief is that the destructive agent was conveyed into tho houso of oommons by some Saturday visitors. A f ullor investigation shows that the damage is much greater than was at first supposed. The western oxtromety of the house of commons is a total wroox. There is now no doubt but that the ox- plosivo was placed under the peers' gal lery on the government side of the house. All the -woodwork of that part of the building is shattered and a wide hole made through the floor. The gallery is displaced and evon the solid stoneverk of the doorway is either pulverized or shifted from its position. EYery pane of glass in the house was smashed to atoms; the gallery benches were overturned and the gallory generally dismantled. IMPORTANT LXTTRR FROX 0FFICK. THH L1XD Mr. C.J.

THE TRIAL OF CHARLES HERBERT. Fall Report ef Yeiterdir's Proceedings. The interest in the trial of Chas. Her bert was yesterday aaanifestod by the dense crowd that filled every available seat in Liberty hall. "When tho case ad journed on Friday night the question was in relation to tho admission of the dying deposition of tho deceased. The prose cution continuing, called E. P. Heff: Was at Robert McDonald's bedside in hospital on ithe 16th; McDonald thought ho wouldn't live, raore than twenty-four -hours; arid he felt that he was going to die; he was then in convulsions and suf fering fearfully. Cross-examined Knew from the way he spoke ho was not under influence of morphine. B. S. Worsley, swern: "Was at hospital January 16th, 9 a. m.; saw man in bed who said his name was Robert McDon ald; aaid: "I can't get well; am mortified inside; I can feel it." In tho afternoon his written statement was taken. G. G. Smith: "Was in McDonald's room with others; he thought he wad going to die.' C. H. Stockton sworn and asked con cerning statement; objeoted to; objection sustained. Dr. Fulton called by defendant: At tended deosased; .never hoard him say he was going to die; told him to keep quiet and obey directions; on Friday after deposition had been taken he said: "I will cono out all right some time, won't I, doctor?" "Was with him an hour after deposition was taken; he was then deliri ous part of the time; morphinoand opium had been administered to him until the morning of the. day he died, and ho had bees, gander the influence. Cross-examined: He was dolirious part of the time and part of the time was rational. Dr. VT. D. Baker swern: Attended Mc Donold with Drs. Fulton; saw him every other day from time of injury till death; saw him day of death; never expressed to witness any sense of impending death; administering of morphine effects per sokh differently: morphine given McDon ald would tend to blunt his powers of perception, but would not prevent his ex ercising his powers of mind; it does not terange the mind. Sister Joseph testified to attending de oeased during his stay at tho hospital; sav him twenty times a day; somotixnes he was quiet; other times violent. E. Dixon testified to being present on Friday morning while doctors wero pres ent; after doctors left McDonald told witness he would give $300 to see his mother before his death. C. E. Stockton recalled; was asked to state what statement McDonald made concerning the shoeting: objected to on allegation that evidence showed McDon ald was not in his right mind. Prose cuting attorney asked did deceased sign writing: witness answered "No." "Was writing signed by deceased or any other person?" "Jfo." "Who took statement do to?" "I did." Witness then testified that deceased said that ho left Tillio's saloon, crossed the street, Chas. Herbert called oat "Scotty;" he stopped, turned around, saw Herbert with a smile on his face, his hands concealed, and said: "How in hell will you get even on me?" and that the next thing he felt tho ball passing tthrough his stomach; that ho cried out "Good God! Good God!" that there was no one there but himself at the time. Witness then produced a pa per and stated that it was a statement made to him by Robt. McDonald in St. Mary's hospital on January 16th, 1835. "This is the same statement made when the -others were present about which I have already testified. I think I have stated all he said about the meeting. He said Chas. Herbert had fired the pis tol." Witness said that MoDonald said that at the time he cried out "If you want the $2.50 more that I do poa god's saeb keep it" and that immediately afterwards ho was shot in his stomach. "I reduced nil that he Baid to writing oxcept what I hnve said about tho $2.50. I havo read over what I have said in sections and ho said it was oorreot." E. P. Hoff recalled: when deceased mado statement he said "I think I am going to die." Ho was then asked if he would make statement under the im pression of death. He said "Yes; I may live '21 hours. 1 came out of Tillio s sa loon when Herbert said "Oh, Scotty, what did you mean by getting even with me?" I said 'Oh, for Christ's sake don't let us have any quarrel about that now. If you think more of that two-and n half than I do, koop it.' Herbort said 'I will give it to you now,' or 'you can have it now.' and he fired. I threw up my hands and said "Oh my God, I am shot, I am shot." Cross examined. "It took him some time to say this; he wa3 vom iting and in oanvulsions. It was taken down and part of it read to him; I don't think it all was." G. G. Smith recalled testified substan tially as preceding witness. B. S. Worsley recalled and testified that McDonald said that when Herbert asked him what he meant by saying he (Herbert) would be sorry for it, deceased answered "I meant just what I said," that Herbert said "Well, damn you, you might as well take this!" that ho then felt the pistol against his stomach and the ball entering his body. He said Chas. Herbert shot him. Chas. Peek swern: Saw defendant in Russian Bob's saloon before nine o'olock on the night of the shooting. Heard nothing that he said to any ono there. A. Anderson swern: was tending bar at Bob Wihlgren's on night of shooting; saw Herbert there that night between ten and eleven before shooting; ho was in bar room and had two or three drinks with seme other fellows; he did not ask or rat anything from bohind tho bar. Here the -prosecution rested. Wra. Beresford, swern: is a sailor; lives at Golden Gate saloon; saw Mo Donald and Herbert together tho even ing of the ahboting at Til lie's saloon; hoard conversation. THE rEPEO)Aia's BTOBT. Charles Herbert swern: I am the de fendant; myself and a boarder went to Tillie's and had a drink together at the bar; Scotty came in and asked me for $2.50; I said, 'I don't owe you $2J.' Ho said: J-ou do, uod damn you, and u you don't pay it I will take it out of you,' or kill yen, or something of that kind. While- talking I believe he put his hands in his coat pocket and pulled something out. I can't tell what it was; don't think I had any further conversation with him. I walked to Geo. Hill's; stood there a few minutes, and went over to Russian Bob's; there I met some friends and we hsd a drink together. I then went to Gee. Hill's to see if I could find one of two men working for me, Matt and Sweeney. I didn't seo them and walked down to the corner saloon; met McDon McDen ald: he wss.eoming toward me, and ho said, 'God damn your heart, are you go ing to give rae the $2.50, or Pll scatter your brains on the sidewalk.' I under took to step off the sidewalk to let Mc Donald pass; he stepped in front and wouldn't let me. I said, 'What do you mean; he said, 'God damn you, I will show you what I mean.' He put his hand backon his pocket; I did the same; I don't know .whether or not I had my finger on tho trigger, but it accidentally went off. I couldn't say whether there was any man with McDonald or not. wnen tno pistoi went on a THBEW UlEllT HAKDS and said, 'O God! havo I shot the man? and tho pistol dropped out of my hands. I couldn't say where Carlson came from. He ran up and grabbed hold of uiy arms said, 'Yes; it was in self-defence. 1 couldn't help it and was forced to do it.' Ho had hold of me by tho arm1, and walked me off half a block or n block, and I said, 'Mr. Carlson, let go of my arms, and I will walk nlong peaceably and quietly.' He Jet go and wo walked together. He never asked mo for any thing, or where tho pistol was until we I what I had dono with the pistol. I told I )ui iaj iuu tiky Jm tuju no utu " him I didn't know; that I dropped it alongside me; ho searched my pockets and locked mo in a cell. I next saw Offi cer Corbett and then Sheriff Ress: I said, 'Mr. Ross, I suppose I have to be in for it; I had to do it, I couldn't help it.' On January 2nd, the captain of n ship camo to me and asked mo IF I HAD HIS DOO. Tho captain cave me S3 for a dog. Mc Donald heard of it; on my way home from Flavel's office I met him nt Iko Bergman's. Ho said 'I hear you got $5 for that dog, I want $2.50; I said, what for? Ho said 'God damn it, didn't I steal the dog? I said, you didn't tell mo so. That evening I went down to the net rack to seo if my boat was secure for the night and saw soino ono who called out 'Is that you, Charley?' I said 'yes;' he said, 'what about that $2.50; are you go ing to givo it to me?' Ho increased his speed and I started to run. It was Mc Donald. I ran into n man's cabin and just as I got in and got tho door shut, n big chunk of wood struck tho door. Ho said. 'If you; don't give me that $2JI0 I will lay von out.' When I used to call. McDonald to breakfast of mornings I used to see brass knuckles and a re volver and two razors in his room on tho table. Ho was in tho habit of carrying weapons. Cross examined. I knew McDonald three years; ho worked for mo '214 months; ho was running for me: I keep a a sailor boarding house. When ho threatened mo I considered myself in danger. When I met him that evening I was coming from Geo. Hills; ho was coming tho other way. When ho said 'I will show you what'l mean,' ho reach ed behind him. I drew mine. It was a Smith and Wessen, 33, self-cocker. I think it went off accidentally. I was excited. I did not intend to shoot him. I did not leave but remained till Carlson arrested me; I was then 12 or 14 feet from deceased; I don't think ho fell where Carlson took hold of hira. I did not attempt to assist him. I had pistol from 3 o'clock that afternoon. It was in Russian Bob's before. I had borrow ed $3 on it three or four days before. I got it from Peck: it had been loaded about n month. At the conclusion of tho defendant's statement, which was listened to with breathless interest by tho large crowd resent, Jno. Hansen was called for tho efense, followed by Wm. Beresford, whoso sharp rejoinders to the rigid cross- examination oy mo prosecution causeu considerable hilarity on the back seats and mado tho bailiff cry "order."
