168 SEPTEMBER 18 & 19, 1877 GRASS VALLEY UNION
who had heard of the matter, proceeded to Mr. Coleman’s house and gave the serenade. He was
taken somewhat by surprise, but nevertheless made a neat speech of thanks to the party for the
compliment and invited all of them into the house where they were hospitably entertained.
After congratulations, compliments and a collation had been tendered, passed and discussed,
each in order, the Band came down to the UNION office where was discoursed some most excellent
music, giving our institution three cheers at the conclusion.
There was some talk of loading up a carriage or two and going to Nevada City to give Judge
Searls a blowing up, through those instruments belonging to the Band, but the late hour prevented.
The Thomas Silver Cornet Band is one of the best drilled and most efficient in the State. The
members of it, with the exception of the handsome drummer boy, are working miners, and they work
well as well as play well.
We return our most hearty thanks to the Band for the compliment paid our office.

Fire—Chinatown Destroyed.
Monday night at about twenty minutes past 11 o'clock a fire broke out in Chinatown and in
a short time all the houses with one or two exceptions, were swept away. The fire originated in a
house on the north side of the street, about three doors from the Auburn street side of Chinatown.
The house in which the fire was first discovered was occupied by women, and it is said that one of
them was up stairs, with a candle, and that she accidentally set fire to the house. All the intelligent
Chinamen of the place agree that the fire originated by accident, or perhaps we should say through

There are many who believe that the fire was caused by an incendiary. In these days of
tramps and general excitement on labor questions every fire, no matter where it happens, or how,
